HHS assistant health secretary Brian Christine just exposed the perverse financial incentives behind gender medicine:  “If you take a child who has gender dysphoria and you get them to agree to sex rejecting procedures, the cross sex hormones, or the puberty blockers, or certainly the surgeries, then what you've done, you've created a patient for life.”   “They have to come back for appointment after appointment after appointment, getting their prescriptions filled, getting laboratory testing done. So you have a patient who continues to come back, and that billing can be big money.” “From 2019 to 2023, $120 million was spent on sex rejecting procedures in this country.”  🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV:https://ept.ms/46ltiR6

The WHO sent a delegation to China to document how lockdowns were being used to stop the spread of COVID. Jeffrey Tucker says it quickly turned into a propaganda tour, with the delegation being wined and dined before producing a report praising China’s lockdown model. He says that report became the turning point that helped set Western lockdowns in motion. And according to Anthony Fauci’s own diaries, Fauci was behind the push to send the delegation. “They wined and dined them for quite a long time, up to about a week.” “Xi Jinping’s message of this tour was, ‘We are much better at managing infectious disease than you. With our system of government, which is a one-party state and totalitarian dictatorial rule, we have vast advantages over you people in the West with your human rights and freedom and democracy.’” “Now, this is 100% propaganda.” “Their lockdowns achieved nothing in terms of stopping the spread.” 👉https://ept.ms/4wLxvZp

“There are many ways to interpret the COVID era.” “But one of them is that the entire thing was a master plan hatched by the CCP.” Jeffrey Tucker argues China used COVID to convince the West that its freedoms were the problem. And that the CCP’s authoritarian model was the solution. “What it looks like to me… is a brilliant master plan to shame the West for its freedoms.” “‘Look, your freedoms are gonna make people sick and prevent you from doing the right thing.’” “Which is to turn all your countries into a prison state like China.” “And shamed people into doing the unthinkable.” “Which was to override the Bill of Rights and issue stay-at-home orders and abolish religious holidays and close the schools and destroy businesses.” “And that’s in fact what happened.” https://rumble.com/v7efzz6-top-10-biggest-revelations-from-the-fauci-diaries-jeffrey-tucker.html

The Fauci Diaries exposed some shocking revelations about the mRNA vaccines and what Dr. Anthony Fauci actually knew—and when. By January 14, 2020, an mRNA coronavirus vaccine was already in development at Moderna. As early as February 8, 2020, Fauci privately concluded COVID’s true fatality rate was ~0.2% — “acting like a bad influenza.” Yet he told Senators and Congressmen it was more like 1%. By early 2021, as variants emerged, it was already becoming clear to Dr. Fauci that the vaccine would have issues stopping transmission. He wrote in his notes: “It looks like the vaccine might be compromised.” Jeffrey Tucker argues this was never about herd immunity. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/top-10-biggest-revelations-from-the-fauci-diaries-jeffrey-tucker-6077717?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=SocialM&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=JeffreyTucker

The recent Trump administration report on election interference goes far beyond the 2020 election. John Solomon says intelligence officials were caught openly keeping critical election security information from the President, Congress, and the American public. “What we did is look at a 20-year window of intelligence about the security of our elections.” “Were foreigners interfering? Were domestic players interfering? Were there vulnerabilities that we know about that we had not fixed?” “Career people in the intelligence community made conscious decisions to keep that information from the President, Congress, and the American public.” “There were intelligence officers bragging that they were withholding information from the President and from Congress.” “One of them boasted that they were running a shadow government.” “We were being told we were in the most secure election environment in history, and the intelligence showed just the opposite.” https://rumble.com/v7edpgy-how-spy-agencies-massaged-trumps-briefings-to-bury-election-warnings-john-s.html

Newly released documents reveal how evidence of Chinese penetration of voter registration files and plots to interfere in the election were withheld or downplayed.  The new files reveal one of the intelligence officers said they “deliberately massaged” the presidential daily briefing in 2020 to downplay election-related information, with another stating, “I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point.”  John Solomon is chair of the White House Government Transparency Task Force, an award-winning journalist, and founder of Just the News. He breaks down key documents his task force has released—and what more we can expect to see in the coming days and months.  🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4qlY0CY

“The intelligence community and the FBI… were interfering in an American election by picking winners and losers.” John Solomon says the evidence is crystal clear: parts of the U.S. intelligence community made political decisions to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election. “The FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop.” “They had the evidence of what Burisma wanted from Joe Biden and his family.” “They had evidence of what Hunter Biden was getting paid.” “They even had evidence that…his lawyers and him had talked about the fact that he had failed to pay American taxes on a large sum of money from Burisma.” “They had validation that what the confidential human sources were telling the FBI was true ‘cause Hunter Biden’s own laptop showed it was true.” “And still this Round River team went out to try to portray it as Russian disinformation.” Watch the full conversation here:https://ept.ms/4qlY0CY

he CCP has openly racist citizenship policies that claim authority over people it considers Chinese, even if they are citizens of another country. And Luke de Pulford says the world continues to tolerate it. “Most people don’t know that Chinese law regarding citizenship is fundamentally racist.” “Somebody who is born in China, let’s say they move to the United Kingdom and they have children in the United Kingdom.” “And their children’s children are born in the United Kingdom.” “Their children’s children’s children will still be regarded by the Chinese Communist Party as Chinese and they will claim dominion over them.” “They will reject whatever nationality they have been given and they will assert Chinese law over those people.” “It goes to the heart of the frankly ethno-nationalism of the Chinese Communist Party.” “Totally extraordinary that the rest of the world just allows it.” The CCP’s reach does not stop at China’s borders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nilU1qze32U

The UK is allowing the CCP to build the largest embassy in Europe just feet from critical infrastructure connecting London’s two major financial centers. Luke de Pulford is sounding the alarm on why this could put American financial interests at risk too. “There is some sensitive communications cable infrastructure basically within feet of this mega embassy.” “This is cabling that connects Canary Wharf to the City of London, the two financial centres in London.” “If the Chinese were able to in some way sabotage or hack this cabling… they would be impacting any financial services from anywhere in the world who are located in those two financial centres, which of course includes the United States.” “I came to Washington and I briefed various people, including the White House, on the presence of these cables.” “Your financial services are going to be endangered by this thing.” “We’ve got to stop this thing from happening.” https://rumble.com/v7e893e-chinas-mega-embassy-with-secret-rooms-beneath-london-luke-de-pulford.html

The UK High Court just dismissed a legal challenge against London's planned "mega embassy" for China. Here's why this is a massive deal: It'll be the largest Chinese embassy in Europe, and it sits feet away from the fiber-optic cables linking Canary Wharf and the City of London. Those cables don't just carry UK transactions. They carry financial data tied to global markets, including the US. Nearly an entire floor of the building's blueprints is redacted with no description or explanation. Among those fighting against it is Luke de Pulford, founder of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC). 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/is-chinas-mega-embassy-in-london-actually-a-massive-spying-compound-luke-de-pulford-6075580?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=SocialM&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=LukedePulford

It’s hard for people around the world to fathom how brutal life can be in North Korea. Grace Jo escaped at 6 years old.  She shared with me what happened to the family members she left behind. “My oldest sister… promised to us and said, ‘Mom and sister, I will be back with the food.’” “But that promise was never fulfilled, and it’s been almost 26 years, and we don’t know what happened to her.” “She was probably sold into human trafficking, and she was not able to escape.” Her youngest brother died from starvation and malnutrition at only a few months old. Her 4 year old brother was left searching their village for his mother and sisters.  After being given a bowl of porridge, “he never woke up.” “We already lost a father, grandmother, my oldest sister went missing, my youngest brother died of starvation, and my only other brother also died.” WATCH NOW👉https://ept.ms/462Mm6C

“At the end of 1998, my grandmother passed away from starvation.” “Her last wish was to eat one baked potato, but my family at the time, we were not able to provide that.” Grace Jo escaped North Korea at just 6 years old. She shared a harrowing memory of what day to day survival looked like for her family under the regime. “For almost 10 days straight, we were just starving and drinking cold water only.” “Our daily food was relying on the wild vegetables, tree barks… whatever we could consume from nature, we tried to collect everything.” “My father… passed away while he was looking for food.” “With that heartbreaking news, my mother decided to leave our home.” https://rumble.com/v7e4wx0-she-survived-north-korea-starvation-and-10-years-in-hiding.html

Grace Jo was only six when she crossed the Tumen River to escape starvation in North Korea. Her family had already been devastated by the 1990s famine. Her father had crossed into China looking for food—then was caught, tortured, and died after returning to North Korea with a bag of rice. Her two younger brothers starved to death. So did her grandmother. Her dying wish was to eat a baked potato. Grace crossed into China with her mother and sister, only to live in hiding—constantly afraid of being caught and forcibly sent back. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/she-escaped-north-korea-3-times-half-of-her-family-didnt-survive-grace-jo-6074346?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=SocialM&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=GraceJo

We are constantly told AI is coming for our jobs. But what if repeatedly predicting that future actually helps create it? Carissa Véliz explains why predictions can become “veiled commands” and why tech executives benefit when people accept them as inevitable. “Very often predictions have a veiled command.” “If I tell you, ‘Jan, tomorrow an AI is going to replace you,’ and you quit your job because it’s no longer worth it, then you’re obeying.” “If you take my prediction at face value and just act as if that was true, then you’re obeying.” “And if I’m a tech executive who’s selling this product, then you’re doing me a favor.” @CarissaVeliz new book, “Prophecy,” challenges how much power we give predictions about AI and our future. We discussed self-fulfilling prophecies, the growing influence of tech executives, privacy, and why blindly accepting predictions can help make them reality. Watch the full conversation here:

We’ve been told one in five jobs could be replaced by AI. But when we treat this prediction as fact, are we seeing the future—or manifesting it? Carissa Véliz argues that such claims of inevitability are a red flag. Someone who says a future is inevitable is trying to get you to do something and benefit from your belief, says the Oxford professor and author of “Prophecy.” She urges people to defy these narratives by asking: Who is predicting this future? Who benefits? What data supports it—and what missing data might contradict it? “If we hear predictions as if they were facts… what we’re actually doing is obeying in advance, because very often predictions have a veiled command,” she said. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4xBe861

FBI Director Kash Patel told me that Google and Meta are two of the FBI’s “best partners.” “We have to balance civil liberties and constitutional rights with proactively defending America.” “They have a different set of authorities, as a private sector company, than we do in terms of providing us information.” “We have to, of course, and rightfully so, meet the requirements to get search warrants based upon probable cause.” “They’re providing us, proactively, information… so that we can put that into our enterprise investigation and shut it down.” “Because these adversaries are using these platforms to find victims, to perpetrate their frauds and their schemes, and steal American dollars.” “We’re asking them to be more proactive.” https://rumble.com/v7dzn14-google-and-meta-are-two-of-the-fbis-best-partners.html

FBI Director Kash Patel just revealed the behind-the-scenes work that led to President Trump’s announcement on CCP election interference in 2020. “It was only possible because the President directed us to declassify and divulge this information to the American public and the world.” “I think the President was right to go to the nation and the world and put forth this information.” “Our part is smaller in this, ours being the FBI.” “We work with our partners at DHS and ODNI who have the technical capabilities, and also their remit is more on the sort of what happened overseas on these election infrastructure systems.” “We share our information.” “And then we’ll take referrals from them on matters that rise to the level of criminality… and bring charges when we can.” https://rumble.com/v7dyefw-kash-patel-the-fbis-war-on-scam-empires.html

“We are arresting people nearly every week on espionage matters.” FBI Director Kash Patel just told me he has overseen a “55% increase in espionage arrests.” “55% from the last 16 months… compared to the prior two years of the Biden administration.” “That’s a massive uptick.” “Our adversaries are always looking to steal our secrets, to co-opt our citizens, and have them steal our secrets and send them back to places like Russia, China, DPRK, Iran, just to name a few.” https://rumble.com/v7dxe52-15-billion-seized-how-the-fbi-hit-four-largest-fraud-ops.-in-the-world-kash.html

The FBI just seized $15 BILLION in crypto stolen from Americans by scammers. Scam losses in America have more than tripled since 2020. And investment/crypto fraud, sometimes known as pig-butchering scams, now account for half of it. Kash Patel told me the FBI has taken out four of the world’s largest scamming compounds, arrested 300+ people, and freed thousands of trafficked workers under Operation Blackout, working with international partners. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/45b2KSj

Many Americans believe the United States has become too involved in conflicts and commitments around the world. Armenia’s ambassador to the United States, Narek Mkrtchyan, says America’s relationship with countries like his benefits the U.S. too, especially in AI and advanced technology. “When you look into the ecosystem of Armenia’s tech industry, you can notice interesting names.” “NVIDIA, Synopsys, National Instruments, Broadcom, Cisco, Microchip, and now GlobalFoundries.” “All of these big companies are in Armenia.” “They are doing chip design.” “They are doing software development.” “Because of Armenia’s highly educated workforce and highly developed AI and ICT ecosystem.” Full interview below: https://ept.ms/4hQ5Imz
