The Highwire posted a video on Twitter during the Thanksgiving holiday of a presentation given in Memphis, Tennessee, this past summer entitled: "Vaccine Experts Under Oath: Shocking Revelations in the Fight for Transparency and Truth."

The information revealed was enough for Twitter's Community Notes to insert themselves as "fact checkers."

The 44-second clip essentially indicated that the CDC finally put out 20 studies that they relied upon as referents for the claim that vaccines do not cause autism in the first six months of life.


Well, ICAN, a group dedicated to choice and transparency in vaccine awareness, read the studies and found that 18 of them involve Thimerosal - an ingredient not included in any of the vaccines given during this period.

And one involved Antigen, which is not even vaccine-related.

Agreements were signed with African universities during a congress in St. Petersburg

Russian institutes have signed agreements with more than 30 African universities during a major congress in St. Petersburg, hosted by the city's mining university.

The deals signed provide for cooperation in education and science, training engineers, and the development of relevant industrial sectors.

More than 150 participants from 48 African countries attended the Africa Seeks Solutions congress, including universities, mining and metallurgical companies, and geological organizations.

Thousands of Americans have found themselves on the list, which was declared unconstitutional in a 2019 court ruling

The US government's list of known or suspected terrorists has nearly doubled in size in the past six years, with American citizens comprising a growing portion of the names, CBS reported on Thursday, citing former and current intelligence officials, court records, and other government documents.

The Terrorist Screening Dataset included about 2 million people as of the end of 2023 — up from 1,160,000 in 2017, the last time Washington publicly confirmed the numbers. The watchlist has grown by leaps and bounds since its creation in 2003 with just 120,000 people.

While official policy requires "reasonable suspicion" for inclusion on the list, the government is not required to share those suspicions with the public or those targeted, and agencies will "neither confirm nor deny" an individual's presence on the list.

A spokesman for the Russian church branded the move "lawless" and an "attempt to intimidate parishioners"

Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has been put on a criminal wanted list by Ukraine's Interior Ministry. The document identified the Patriarch by his secular name and described him as "an individual hiding from the bodies of pre-trial investigation" and deemed him responsible for violating Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The head of Russia's Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, said that a criminal case had been opened following the announcement and that measures will be taken to identify the Ukrainian special service officials who are seeking to prosecute the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Patriarch Kirill has repeatedly called on his parishioners to support the participants of Russia's military operation against Ukraine, who were "sacrificing their lives to protect our Orthodox people in the Donbass."

The United States experienced a dramatic 12% increase in homelessness to its highest reported level as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans, federal officials said Friday.

About 653,000 people were homeless, the most since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007. The total in the January count represents an increase of about 70,650 from a year earlier.

The latest estimate indicates that people becoming homeless for the first time were behind much of the increase.

Two more major shipping firms, Mediterranean Shipping Company and CMA CGM, said Saturday they were suspending passage through a Red Sea strait vital for global trade after Yemeni rebel attacks in the area.

The announcement by Italian-Swiss giant MSC and France's CMA CGM follows a similar decision Friday by two of the world's largest shipping companies, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.

The announcements were in response to a warning by the Iran-backed Huthi rebels, who control much of Yemen but are not recognised internationally.

If his latest property development is any clue, Mark Zuckerberg might be a biiit of a doomsday prepper.

The Meta CEO is reportedly building a massive compound in Kauai, Hawaii, that will include features like a 5,000-square-foot underground bunker and an escape hatch, and be self-sufficient with its own energy, food, and water supply, according to a Wired article out Thursday, citing sources and planning documents obtained through public records requests.

Construction on Zuckerberg's compound, called Koolau Ranch, is estimated to cost around $100 million; coupled with the $170 million spent on the land for the property, the total price tag sits around $270 million, though that's likely still an underestimate, according to Wired.

The compound will have at least 30 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms and a network of nearly a dozen tree houses connected by rope bridges so guests can move between them "while staying among the treetops," Wired reports.

An alleged congressional staffer who filmed an explicit sex tape inside a Senate hearing room could face criminal charges, one lawyer argues.

The U.S. Capitol Police told Fox News they were aware of an amateur pornographic video published by the Daily Caller on Friday, which shows someone identified as a congressional staffer, engaging in sex with another man in Hart Senate Office Building room 216.

According to the Daily Caller, the video was leaked after being "shared in a private group for gay men in politics." The men's identities haven't been confirmed.

Posts on social media claimed the alleged staffer worked for Sen. Ben Cardin's office. Hours after the story broke, Cardin's office announced that a legislative aide had been dismissed but did not address reports linking a member of his staff to the sex tape.

"We will have no further comment on this personnel matter," his office wrote in a statement.

It is hard for those who have not lived through the shattering political assassinations of the 1960s to grasp their significance for today. Many might assume that that was then and long before their time, so let's move on to what we must deal with today. Let some old folks, the obsessive ones, live in the past. It is an understandable but mistaken attitude that this documentary will quickly shatter, visually and audibly. The echoes of those guns that killed President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy in rapid succession repeat and repeat and repeat down through the years, and their echoes bang off the walls of all today's news that springs from the cells of all the little digital dinguses that provide a constant stream of distractions and fear porn meant to titillate but not illuminate the connections between then and now, nor those between the four subjects of this illuminating film.

Today we are living the consequences of the CIA/national security state's 1960s takeover of the country. Their message then and now: We, the national security state, rule, we have the guns, the media, and the power to dominate you. We control the stories you are meant to hear. If you get uppity, well-known, and dare challenge us, we will buy you off, denigrate you, or, if neither works, we will kill you. You are helpless, they reiterate endlessly. Bang. Bang. Bang.

But they lie, and this series, beginning with its first installment (see sneak peek here), will tell you why. It will show why understanding the past is essential for transforming the present. It will profoundly inspire you to see and hear these four bold and courageous men refuse to back down to the evil forces that shot them down. It will open your eyes to the parallel spiritual paths they walked and the similarity of the messages they talked about - peace, justice, racism, human rights, and the need for economic equality - not just in the U.S.A. but across the world, for the fate of all people was then, and is now, linked to the need to transform the U.S. warfare state into a country of peace and human reconciliation, just as these four men radically underwent deep transformations in the last year of their brief lives.

QUESTION: Dear Martin and the team.

Perhaps the chances are very low that this would somehow reach Martin. However, I would like to try to use "the power of the internet." I have to try, so at least I am not blaming myself. I would like to ask a question and if somehow, possibly get the answer and Martin's thoughts. (btw I bought your books, but sadly I can't come to those conferences as they are quite far away, not to mention visas...!)

I am originally from Russia but came to the UK 9 years ago. I never thought that we would go threw such insanity during my life. My parents who passed in the 90s (the time when SU collapsed) believe that there is nothing scarier than this. Yet, based on their description, it looks like the 90s is coming worldwide, which scares me to the bones. I just can't recognize the UK and the rest of the western countries anymore. After COVID (and also Brexit) everything twisted upside down. Cost of living, quality of life, education level, total surveillance, CBDC, digital ID and other things seem to be coming all worldwide.

Even in Russia, this ESG agenda (Sberbank was working with WEF on their cyberattack convention in 2019 for Christ's sake!), social credit score, CBDC progressing! They are all in cahoots together... Many people don't see a danger of those elements, and when you even try to explain the danger of those things, all what they call you are just another conspiracy theorist....

I understand that the storm is coming and most likely we will all come out as different people in 2032. I really hope that your prognosis is correct and there is a light in the end of the tunnel which brings at least some hope that we will not be stuck in this doom loop.

I am right now stuck in a dilemma which doesn't give me peace, so I would like to try to use such an opportunity and ask questions about how Martin thinks:

1) The worst fear for me right now is being stuck in the UK. If we all go into such shit period, I would prefer to be in my home country (Russia). However, I have been in the UK for almost 10 years and was thinking about applying for a passport in 2025. After that, I was considering leaving the country for good. Question comes : is it worth it? If this all goes so downhill. How much time do I have till the storm comes, and will I not be able to leave? Is it really worth it? I can, of course, return home, but all those years which I have been in the UK will be basically worthless... Moreover, the passport opportunity could help me... one day.... This cross-road doesn't give me peace of mind.

2) In your prognosis of the safest places you mostly consider the USA. What places in the UK are safest? Is Edinburgh safe? I can see that England is in full turmoil. All those green zealots and green zones which would destroy the economy... Not to mention those cameras today have been deployed everywhere.

3) Don't you think that this world power grab will be worldwide? We can see that they all argue with each other, yet when it comes to COP-28 or WEF events, they all sit together... I can see the same things happening in Russia. The main bank, Sberbank, even has a director of ESG, plus they are pushing for CBDC and Machine-learning integration in the transactions... Madness.

I still believe that I have a higher chance of surviving in Russia. I have parents who have their own garden.... And overall, it is easier to survive mentally when your parents are nearby...

I greatly appreciate that you try to predict and guide us towards those insane times. If somehow this message arrives, could you please share your thoughts?

Kind regards.
