Documents Reveal Hundreds of Media Companies Including Conservative Media were Paid by Federal Government to Promote the COVID-19 Vaccines

New documents obtained by The Blaze Media through FOIA request revealed that HHS paid major media organizations including cable TV news stations, publications, digital media companies, and many more to promote the Covid-19 vaccine narrative as part of a “comprehensive media campaign.“

Yeah, conservative media as well.

That is the largest and most comprehensive breach of journalistic ethics that has ever occurred. Almost everybody took the money. Almost everybody lied about the vaccines (knowingly or unknowingly). Almost everybody refused to report anything negative about the vaccines — because they were paid to close their eyes. Almost everybody is implicated.

It is undeniable: The Corona vaccines cause a wide array of adverse events, not all of them understood. Right now it’s hard to assess their population-wide impact, but it is no longer reasonable to doubt that they’re substantially more dangerous than ordinary vaccines. Rough calculations from VAERS data suggest that they’re at least several hundred times more dangerous than flu shots.

The Media’s Insidious Effort to Shift Economic Blame from White House to Russia Continues
March 7, 2022 | Sundance | 32 Comments

The propaganda effort by western media, specifically but not exclusively U.S. media, to shift blame for massive economic damage from Joe Biden to Russia is reaching a stunning level of coordinated intent.

The cognitive dissonance (fancy words for telling lies under the cloud of economic analysis) is not only happening in the U.S; a similar level of blame-shifting is happening in Europe, Australia, Canada and most western media outlets.

The global economic contraction, which was specifically and intentionally created by the collective ‘Build Back Better‘ promoters, is now being blamed on Russia; and, quite frankly, the motive behind the corporate media shifting the blame is because the underlying ideology (western policy) was/is supported by the leftist media tribe.

Throughout 2021 it is well documented how government COVID policies of lockdowns, economic consequences and insane spending, created the baseline problem behind inflation. Simultaneously, the western approach toward energy development and the “opportunity” the EU and U.S. sought to exploit within the BBB agenda to radically transform energy use, was simply pouring super-volatile fuel on an already burning fire.

In 2021 gasoline prices increased 60 to 80 percent; food prices jumped 15 to 40 percent, with some sectors even higher. By the time the EU central bankers and U.S. Federal reserve finally admitted inflation was no longer “transitory,” we were facing next harvest fertilizer prices that tripled in price from 2020, and oil prices that had doubled in the span of 12 months.

ftb 5.51am,
Look up the Trusted News Initiative, kicked off by the BBC. Partners include Facebook, Twitter, MS, Reuters, Google, WSJ and on and on, globally. Express purpose is to suppress, delete or permanently deplatform any voices dissenting from the official narrative. Horrible to watch this over the past two years.
Early on in Australia and elsewhere, media corporations were given significant tax breaks and deluged by government advertising money (federal, state and local). My local city council so far refuses to quantify their “community health” advertising spend.

This one was as perfect an example of hypocrisy as you can get.

Justin Trudeau senses a ‘slippage’ in democracies (Sky News, 8 Mar)

He said a foreseen “slippage” in countries adhering to their democratic principles made Mr Putin think he could “get away with it” in Ukraine.

“Countries turning towards slightly more authoritarian leaders – countries allowing increasing misinformation and disinformation to be shared on social media turning people against the values and the principles of democracies that are so strong,” he said.

Perhaps Herr Castro should invest in a mirror.

“is there a single western journalist out there with the integrity”

And therein lies the rub. There isn’t. This is the big problem in the West, the lack of any decent investigatory journalism. We need journalists to investigate stuff like Covid, WEF, Merkel and so on. But instead they’re part of the problem. You only have to look at the media coverage of Ukraine, very few journalists are willing to deviate from the mainstream views. This is my big worry, the lack of credible scrutiny of government, particularly governments of the left. Look at how the MSM cover up for the Sniffer in Chief. It’s a disgrace.

Merkel will get a free pass. Just think of Merkel’s legacy….a nation dependent on Putin’s gas and the blind acceptance of millions of middle eastern Muslim men.

Also be interesting to see a breakdown of the Vic Government advertising spendathon over the past 2 years. On commercial radio is seemed every third ad was a tentacle of the government pushing some health safety advice from Staying apart keeps us together, to watch out for trams, to check your smoke detector to wear a hat and put on some sunscreen. It was a though they all had a bump in the advertising budgets and sought to lecture and hector the Andrews way. Felt like North Korea where the government lectures the citizens by radio 24/7.

The only way this will happen is if a minority party in an upper house (state or federal ex QLD) gets the balance of power & holds that jurisdiction over a barrel until they fully disclose all COVID related ad spending.

One of the reasons I am so keen for the transparency is that I want to know who all these COVID warriors were who were actually just paid agents of the state.

John H (1.41am). It’s the spike protein which opens the cell wall to allow the rest of the virus in. It’s also the spike protein which, after being manufactured by the cells when instructed to do so by the mRNA, which protrudes into the bloodstream to collect platelets and form clots.

Once you realise that Frau Merkel hated Germany, her actions become quite logical.
The flag waving incident, The refusal to lift the defence budget, the refusal to stop the refugee rapists, and the support for the Green destructive policies. Nearly every decision she made weakened Germany and boosted Russia.
She may not have been a Soviet plant, but there’s little evidence of her being a German patriot.

AEI tries to hide the political guest list because of websites like us who have caught on to the schemes (think splitter strategy). However, if I were betting, I’d say names like Nikki Haley, Liz Cheney, John Thune, Joni Ernst and Kristi Noem will likely be behind the windows of the dark tinted SUV’s arriving late in the evening.

I forgot about this commodity.

Nickel Spikes 82% As Russia Supply Fears Spark Historic Short Squeeze (8 Mar)

Nickel prices soared as much as 82% to $52,700 a metric ton, the highest in the 35-year history of the contract trading on the London Metal Exchange, as fears over Russian supplies triggered a historic short squeeze according to Bloomberg.

The metal added more than $22,700 to trade at a record-high $52,700 a metric ton. That builds on nickel’s 19% surge last week as banks cut exposure to Russian commodity suppliers because of Western sanctions and shippers, such as Maersk, stay clear of Russian and Ukrainian ports.

Russia is the 3rd biggest producer of nickel in the world…and the 2nd biggest producer of cobalt.

Nickel and cobalt are increasingly essential for electric vehicles. And a doubling in price like this is going to do really horrible things to the prices of EVs if the situation continues.

Russian mums: our sons are cannon fodder
Staff writers
STAFF WRITERS

Russian mothers have accused Vladimir Putin of sending their sons as “cannon fodder” into Ukraine, according to video footage of a confrontation with a regional governor published in the UK Telegraph.

In the video, Sergei Tsivilev, governor of the Kuzbass region in Siberia, shuffles on the stage of a school gym as he is confronted by the furious mothers.

“We were all deceived, all deceived. They were sent there as cannon fodder, “one woman shouted. “They are young. They were unprepared.”

In an attempt at playing down the war as a “special operation,” Mr Tsivilev responded: “This is a special operation and, at the moment, nobody can give comments about the special operation. These guys were used…”

“Used!” One mother interrupted. “So our children were used?”

The mothers of Russian soldiers have an important place in Russian society. It was they who produced the first rumblings of dissent against Russia’s failed invasion of Afghanistan, and were responsible in part for the decision to withdraw troops from the country.

It was also mothers of dead submariners who embarrassed Vladimir Putin when they confronted him over the sinking of the Kursk submarine in 2000, in what has been described as the “worst moment” of the Russian President’s life.

There is nothing wrong about being wrong, we’re never right about everything, but if we can’t learn from our mistakes we’re living in a false reality, which obviously ssr is. Not like special ed who is just a troll and not a very good one. I won’t waste my time on Ken Worth.”

Quite so. Last night on the old thread, in the early hours of the morning, she posted yet another diatribe about me, and there was this classic line….

“A gutter mouth that arrogantly calls herself a “Princess”, choking on the delusion that they are too far above simply saying, ‘Sorry, I was wrong.’.”

I can laugh at that….because she’s a lunatic but the point is that the other night she posted a link to a unsavoury Holocaust denier, anti-Semite and all round racist called Mark Collett. It might have been inadvertent, it might not have been however when I called her out for this link, rather than apologise, she doubles down and then starts her attacks on me (and a few others). That’s why when I read her spray this morning and particularly her line “choking on the delusion that they are too far above simply saying, ‘Sorry, I was wrong.’.”…I laughed because she’s actually describing herself to a tee.

And as sure as the sun rising in the east, rather than addressing the issue, she’ll come on later (after her nap) and post a vicious, unhinged diatribe about me.

Journalistic integrity? Fuggedaboudit as far as at least 80% of them are concerned.
The standard approach to conservative governments (if there are any that qualify any more) is:
Floods, Fires and Droughts are always made worse by conservative governments, either by not supplying assistance as quickly and completely as the journos and green/left opposition tell you, or by not getting to zero CO2 quickly enough – because all those problems of weather are “climate change” and caused by man, docha know?

The Westies banned Eastern Military Officers from the new German Army, they also kept Easties out of technically sensitive outfits. They targeted the wrong people.
Their mistake was to not understand that the Easties didn’t want secrets, they wanted Germany. They already owned the universities and much of the public service, and the western Social Democratic and part of the Christian Democrat establishments.
The East had devoted 50 years to nothing other than planning the subjugation of Germany. It was easy for them. They traded successfully on the great German strategic weaknesses, the love of compliance, avoidance of inquiry, and the huge chip that they still carry on their shoulders.
The West should not have torn down the wall, they should have made it higher.
Merkel’s treason was open and obvious and economically damaging. The Germans loved her for it.

It’s funny, but it’s easy to tell when the gang is getting ready for another assault.
First they go quiet, then they pull out a few old favourites socks, sorry, ‘friends’ and then the jerky dance of the jerks starts again.
… anyway … this was a reply to Cassie rant on the Weekend Open Thread, that I wasn’t going to bother posting when I realised Cassie had dropped back into an old dead thread to have her much needed ‘last word’, but then she brought it back into the new thread, so …

I love the way the true, gutter mouthed Cassie comes out when she has no answer but to double & triple down on her bald faced BS.

Another of her tells that she is not kosher is how she keeps repeating what she believes others have already bought, while avoiding like the plague, what’s really stung her.

Cassie talks in her own (very low class), voice when she’s angry & scared.
Nothing at all like those pieces she posts for praise after finding and tweaking popular & well received work of others.

Oh she can recognise good work, she just can’t produce it, not from scratch.

Now, once upon a time I posted something from Gab, and off she & other’s went; ‘The place is full of Nazis, you must be a Nazi to!’, insane stuff, but wearing her, ‘Untouchable Jewish Princess’, costume, No One was going to tell her what an idiot she made of herself so she made, ‘proving’ me a ‘Nazi, Holocaust Denying, Jew Hating, Anti-Semite, Racist’, her hill to die on.

Yeah, her Leftist Cancel Culture overkill is another of her tells, but I digress …

Having Jewish family amongst my large extended family that pretty well covers every continent, colour, class & creed, means nothing to Cassie & her need to ‘prove’ her absurdities.

Hell she even went as far as to claim my Ukrainian blood meant I hated Jews, so much I probably didn’t even have Jewish Grandchildren.

That’s Crazy Lady stuff, but so what, she’s the socks crazy lady and that’s all that matters!

When Cassie is seething with enmity there is absolutely nothing clever, witty, insightful, cutting, creative or entertaining in what she writes.
It’s just pure Cassie low class, dumb arse, gutter mouth.

Again, this is NOT about me.
Her hatred is freely doled out to all sorts, though mostly other women who she loves to ‘critique as’ ‘not good at their jobs’, but her obsessive overuse of the word “ugly” & other superficial descriptors that mean, “not ‘Beautiful’ like me”, simply paint, ‘Envy’ & ‘Jealousy’ in bloody big red letters all over her woeful attempts at being original & insightful.

‘Cassie’s’ are a dime a dozen on Social Media.
Their job is to herd she cats into spit & hiss fights against individuals who refuse to be herded.

We’re a long way from freeing ourselves from propaganda while people still refuse to see through the ‘Cassie’s’ of World Wide Web of Deception.

How Stupid Is Kamala Harris, Really? (5 Mar)

The United States is suffering from a border crisis, historic inflation, high gas prices, and a labor shortage, among other things, and Russia is invading Ukraine and is threatening a nuclear World War III…

Yet, according to Kamala Harris, it’s time to start worrying about preferred pronouns.

This is not a joke. Well… it is, actually… but, Kamala Harris really does think that now is the time to start pushing LGBTQ issues.

On Thursday, Harris tweeted, “Let’s send the Equality Act to President Biden’s desk. We must increase protections for LGBTQ+ Americans across the country. The onslaught of state bills targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.”

Well she has her own priorities I suppose. Maybe she could send an emergency supply of rainbow flags and various apparatii to Ukraine.

Interesting thing consistently identified by academics looking into community reactions and actions after disasters, from volcanoes to mudslides, bushfires and all the rest: the most valuable and worthwhile work, be it recovering bodies or arranging clean water, is done by locals immediately after the event.

After that, the government turns up to help, local leadership is sidelined and, as in Victoria after Black Saturday, you get useless units like Christine Nixon being placed in front of the cameras and atop recovery efforts.

The committee has indicated it doesn’t support the motion but that won’t stop the Karens. BTW, the club facilities are in NSW so there’s no legal requirement for a mandate.

The proposer of the motion has raised the old OH&S argument. I would like to counter on the grounds that it is none of any club member’s or employee’s business the medical information of a Club member, as well as the fact that the OH&S argument is spurious because the vaccines do not prevent you contracting or spreading the virus, and that the influenza virus is more deadly than Omicron and the club is not demanding everyone has a flu vaccination.

NT Police told Mix 104.9 they had responded to a ‘critical incident” which means it involved a police officer. The NT Independent has put in questions to NT Police about the incident but have not had a reply.
Two sources said police were following a trail of blood when they were allegedly threatened by someone with a spear and then reportedly shot him.
Police have not provided a report on the condition of the man but one source said the man was in the emergency department.
There is very little information, although several other sources have said there there was a shooting in the city on Tuesday morning and other sources have said it happened near units near the corner of Priest Circuit, and Victoria Dve.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vs The Florida Lügenpresse
March 7, 2022 | Sundance | Leave a comment

He calls himself a journalist; however, Evan Donovan presents himself as a creepy groomer who works for WFLA TV in the Tampa, Florida, region.

The Florida legislature has passed a parent’s right bill [House Bill 1557 [text pdf here] which says in part schools are prohibited from Pre-k to grade 3 classroom discussion involving gender identity: “prohibiting classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels or in a specified manner.”

This section of the bill has drawn the ire of the LGBTQ movement who are demanding in-school access to 5-year-old children in order to promote their sexuality issues and advance their overall cause. They now accuse the Florida legislature of creating a “don’t say gay” bill, which they claim blocks their allies in the teaching profession from grooming 4 through 8-year-olds with advanced sexual content.

Today, Evan Donovan, in an effort to assist the sexualization of kindergarten students and promote an early childhood masturbation agenda, asked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to justify his support of the parents’ right bill. Things got heated:

Ukraine envoy: Russia acting like Germany in WWII
Staff writers
STAFF WRITERS

The Ukraine Ambassador to the UN has compared the behaviour of Russian troops with German abuses in World War II, as the UK Ministry of Defence accused Russian forces of targeting evacuation corridors and killing “several civilians” trying to evacuate the town of Irpin, .

Addressing the UN Security Council, Sergiy Kyslytsya said that like Germany 80 years earlier, Russia was disregarding “the norms of international humanitarian law during hostilities.”

He said it was “appalling” that Russian troops were opening fire on evacuees after both countries had allocated certain roads to be utilised as evacuation corridors, CNN reports.

“Russian troops block numerous attempts of the Ukrainian authorities to evacuate civilians” through evacuation corridors, Mr Kyslytsya said. He added that Ukrainians would be able to evacuate through humanitarian corridors only when Russia fully upholds a cease-fire.

The ambassador said Ukraine’s Ministry of Health reported that 34 hospitals in the country were completely destroyed; the World Health Organization reported that 6 Ukrainian doctors were killed and 11 were wounded as a result of Russian shelling.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Education has reported that more than 211 Ukrainian schools were damaged or destroyed due to Russian shelling since the beginning of the invasion..

“Russia bears full responsibility for the killing and injuring of innocent people, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and obstacles for their safe departure of Ukrainians and foreign citizens,” the Ambassador said

All the things that keep families together were absent or weak. Rents and prices were devised to ensure that even the educated middle class needed two full-time salaries to pay the bills. Unless there was a retired grandmother around, children were inevitably abandoned in early infancy to state nurseries and became the state’s charges.

azy as it sounds rugbyskier, I think I have an Indy method that will work even better for you and your club.

Ask the question (maybe with a little help and research from a friendly neighbourhood Solicitor)- “Does the NSW Government require a vaccine mandate for entry into venue X?” As a follow up and to really smearer Karen’s nose in it, ask “Does any other venue X in NSW have a stab mandate?”

If not, then Karen’s proposal is dead in its tracks. You lucky bastards are practically normalised (Emergency Act bullshit notwithstanding), and BHP got smacked into timeout corner over mandatory stabs to access NSW minesites last year (Extra Lucky Bastards, as Big Labour over here is in full cahoots with Sneakers McGowan. Even more so than Big Business 🙁 ).

Thanks calli and Rex.

Last year we had temperature checks before entering club facilities and were offered refunds if you were unwell, which to me is all that’s needed – although a RAT might add some weight (despite the lack of accuracy). The ability for a refund is a huge point, too many club members in the past have come with cold/flu viruses and spread the love around because they didn’t want to lose their money.

Problem is there’s an association of clubs recommending the mandate, so the argument about all venues being mandate-free falls down.

Correct, McCullogh and Yeadon have both shown that asymptomatic spread is a minimal risk or less.

although a RAT might add some weight (despite the lack of accuracy).

Its not a ‘lack of accuracy’ that the RATs have, its a lack of SENSITIVITY for RATs, and thats a GOOD thing – PCRs were waaaay to sensitive, meaning they labelled a lot of non infectious people as sick due to detecting clinically irrelevant viral loads.

Turkeys don’t like postmen.

A feud between mail carriers, wild turkeys comes to a deadly climax near Sacramento (Phys.org, 7 Mar)

This week, tensions between the fowl and one U.S. Postal Service worker reached a violent climax when the carrier killed a turkey while on duty, officials said, prompting an investigation by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“On Monday, one of the mail carriers actually had some kind of a stick or something in his vehicle,” said Capt. Patrick Foy, a spokesman for the department’s Law Enforcement Division. “And when one of the particularly aggressive male turkeys attacked him, he smacked it and killed it.”

Foy declined to say what kind of violation could be involved but said the department had not issued a citation as of Thursday evening.

“Our job is to determine what exactly happened and then we fill out a report,” he said. “We might send it to the district attorney and the district attorney decides whether or not a crime has been committed.”

The postal service said it is investigating the incident, noting in a statement that employees “have had several altercations with aggressive turkeys in the area, including a recent attack on a letter carrier.”

“We have been working with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to mitigate the issue,” the USPS said. “However, this allegation is alarming, and if true, is inexcusable and does not reflect the efforts of our more than 650,000 employees who faithfully serve and deliver for America every day.”

Foy said the turkey that was killed Monday was by far the heaviest he had ever lifted.

“I’ve been around about 25 years, so I kind of know turkeys,” he said. “And I just I looked at it, and I’m like, ‘Oh, this is the biggest turkey I’ve ever seen.’ “

If attacked by giant turkeys you aren’t allowed to do anything about it.

Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry spokesperson
The grouping of troops of Lugansk People’s Republic, continuing offensive operations, took control of Kudryashovka, Voronovo, Metelkino, Medvezhye, Askoronovka, Petrovka, Aleksandrovka.

The units of the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic established control over Latmoye, Berezovoe, Yasnoye, Maksimovka and Valerianovka.

Today, from 10:00 a.m. Moscow time, in accordance with the declared cease-fire, all military operations in the area of Mariupol were completely stopped.

According to civilians who escaped from the city, the situation in Mariupol occupied by the nationalists is difficult. People are hiding in basements. Due to the lack of electricity and gas in their homes, they are forced to cook their food on the street, at the stake.

The militants disperse them. Nationalists open fire on all civilians trying to leave their homes. People are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses: “don’t shoot – children are here!”.

However, the Nazis, using terrorist tactics, deploy their firing positions in houses with inscriptions “do not shoot – children are here!”.

The units of the Russian Armed Forces took control of Novoukrainskoye, Staromayorskoye, Staromlynovka, Mayorovo and Removka. All civilians of the liberated settlements are provided with humanitarian assistance.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at the military infrastructure of Ukraine.

Bomber and assault aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed 26 military facilities.

Among them: 2 command posts, 1 radar station, 5 ammunition depots and 11 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment.

The 364 days that aren’t International Women’s Day

Yeah, managed by all those government and company departments, brimming with money, dedicated to just men.

My company had a Man’s Day morning tea (this was the sum total of what they offered) a few years ago. First time so I was curious. Maybe they would mention mens health issues, the rather frightening suicide statistics, or even make a point that they should not wear themselves out at work at the expense of family life because (unexpected positive image) fathers are important too.

I was wrong.

The whole session revolved around the presence of some woman who had bobbed like a cork into various high level government jobs on the current of policies to promote women (where talent presumably would not have landed them).

Her message on Mens Day? Men should look for ways that they could advance women.
