Biden spy chiefs sidelined FBI, researchers who suspected COVID-19 lab leak: Report

Biden spy chiefs sidelined FBI, researchers who suspected COVID-19 lab leak: Report

According to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, spy chiefs prevented the FBI and Pentagon scientists from providing a counterpoint to their preferred COVID-19 origin theory at an important intelligence briefing in 2021.

There was a concerted effort by elements of the Biden administration and the scientific establishment during the pandemic to downplay the possibility that the COVID-19 virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where dangerous gain-of-function experiments were conducted on coronaviruses, sometimes with American funding.

While characterizing what was all along the most likely explanation as a conspiracy theory and in some cases censoring discussion of it online, the powers that be also did their best to suggest that a cross-species leap to humans was ultimately to blame. Official acceptance of this narrative would help shift blame for millions of deaths away from the communist Chinese regime, Peter Daszak’s debarred EcoHealth Alliance, and the numerous American federal agencies that were involved with radical experimentation at the epicenter of the pandemic.

According to the Journal, when it came time for the intelligence community to present its findings to President Joe Biden, spy chiefs excluded the FBI — which had concluded with “moderate confidence” that a lab leak was the likely cause — from its Aug. 24, 2021, briefing along with damning genomic analysis from Pentagon scientists, which again pointed to human error.

Jason Bannan, a microbiologist who worked as a scientist at the FBI for nearly 20 years, told the Journal that his superiors primed him for the August intelligence community briefing with Biden but that he was never given the opportunity to offer what would have apparently been a contrasting view to the zoonotic origins narrative ultimately pushed by the director of national intelligence, former CIA Deputy Director Avril Haines.

A report earlier this year from Michael Shellenberger’s investigative outfit, Public, indicated that the bureau possibly knew about a lab leak at the WIV as early as March 2020.

“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a February 2023 interview. “I will just make the observation that the Chinese government … has been doing its best to try to thwart and obfuscate the work here, the work that we’re doing, the work that our U.S. government and close foreign partners are doing. And that’s unfortunate for everybody.”

“Being the only agency that assessed that a laboratory origin was more likely, and the agency that expressed the highest level of confidence in its analysis of the source of the pandemic, we anticipated the FBI would be asked to attend the briefing,” said Bannan. “I find it surprising that the White House didn’t ask.”

The champions of the zoonotic origin theory may have wanted to limit the bureau’s presence at the briefing in order to maintain the credibility of their preferred narrative. After all, experts at the FBI apparently weren’t playing ball.

‘The scientists who had the subject matter expertise were silenced.’

The Journal indicated, for instance, that the National Intelligence Council prepared a chart for inclusion in its report to Biden that insinuated commonalities between the COVID-19 pandemic and past zoonotic outbreaks. However, FBI experts allegedly suggested that the chart betrayed a proper understanding of striking and critical differences between the new virus and past viruses, especially regarding their contagiousness.

Experts at the FBI also apparently ruffled feathers — particularly those of Adrienne Keen, a State Department official who served as a consultant to WHO but now works at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — by highlighting the thesis of a WIV scientist, Yu Ping, which indicated that the virus responsible for the pandemic was indigenous to the mountainous Yunnan province in the west of China. The trouble for proponents of the zoonotic origins theory was that the initial spread was not in Yunnan but nearly 1,000 miles away, in the neighborhood of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Hubei province.

The insights of scientists at the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency were similarly poorly received and ultimately glossed over.

The Journal noted that John Hardham, Robert Cutlip, and Jean-Paul Chretien, whose 2020 paper challenging the zoonotic origin claim was quarantined, conduced a genomic analysis that showed that the virus had undergone meddling in a lab.

The trio, working at the DIA’s National Center for Medical Intelligence, determined that the virus’ spike protein was not a product of evolution but of human engineering, made using techniques developed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and described in a 2008 paper — a telltale sign of gain-of-function experimentation.

Although the trio reportedly briefed their counterparts, including one of Bannan’s partners at the FBI, Hardham, Cutlip and Chretien were ordered by a superior at the Center for Medical Intelligence Center in July 2021 to cut the FBI off from further disclosures about their work.

In addition to having their work siloed, the National Intelligence Council’s briefing to the president reportedly excluded a number of the Pentagon scientists’ proposed edits.

While it appears there was a desire for narrative conformity, a spokeswoman for the director of national intelligence’s office suggested to the Journal that divergent viewpoints were fairly represented.

A source familiar with the investigation told the New York Post, “The scientists who had the subject matter expertise were silenced.”

The NIC report that Haines and two of her senior analysts presented to Biden in August ultimately concluded with “low confidence” that the virus was the result of a cross-species leap and “was probably not genetically engineered.”

“What ended up on the intelligence community’s cutting-room floor needs to be re-examined,” said Bannan.

The Journal suggested that politics was a factor in the approach taken to the competing theories both in Washingon, D.C., and in the scientific community. Then-President Donald Trump suggested in May 2020 that he had seen evidence that gave him a “high degree of confidence” that the virus originated in a Chinese lab.

COVID 2.0? New RSV shots are already harming babies

I might not be a doctor, but as early as January 2022 — 16 months before the approval of the first RSV vaccine —
I warned that these shots could make children sicker from the virus. For decades, the industry failed to produce an RSV vaccine after an attempt in 1967 was terminated because it caused antibody-dependent disease enhancement.

Now, amid ongoing problems with
the first RSV vaccines from Pfizer and GSK, the FDA is acknowledging that Moderna’s mRNA version is causing severe RSV cases in children. It’s time for the incoming Department of Health and Human Services, along with state officials, to pull the plug on both RSV shots and mRNA vaccines of all kinds.

We have simply too much public information to sustain this deception any longer. The time for action on this long-standing failure is January 20, not a day later.

The
FDA reported last week at least five cases of severe or very severe RSV in infants who received Moderna’s new mRNA vaccine during a clinical trial. The Biden administration had already approved Pfizer’s and GSK’s senior RSV vaccines, Pfizer’s infant vaccine, and a monoclonal antibody treatment for young children — all of which have documented safety concerns. Earlier this year, the administration approved Moderna’s mRNA version (mRESVIA) for seniors.

However, the FDA has now revealed that enrollment of young children in clinical trials is “on hold for all clinical studies of RSV vaccine candidates” under U.S. investigational new drug protocols.

The clinical trial showed shocking results: “Severe illness was 26.3% in the vaccine groups compared with 8.3% in the placebo.” Talk about “the more you inject, the more you infect”! If there are so many problems with infants, why are we giving this shot to anyone — especially seniors, who are not at significant risk for RSV the way they are for flu or COVID?

Moderna used two versions of the vaccine in the clinical trial, and one of them, mRNA-1345 (mRESVIA), induced severe RSV in an infant. This same vaccine is now being administered to seniors.

Given the 60-year concern about enhanced disease, why are we continuing to push any RSV shots? Why are we continuing to approve mRNA vaccines after the documented issues with COVID shots? Why approve Pfizer’s RSV shot for pregnant women when GSK’s nearly identical version was
pulled from clinical trials after causing death and injury?

Finally, why are we promoting vaccines for respiratory viruses at all? COVID and flu have shown that respiratory viruses
do not respond well to blood-based antibodies and often cause immune imprinting, leading to a higher risk of infection in the long run.

These are straightforward questions any layman can understand, yet our medical experts remain stuck in ignorance — and greed.

Greater risk for babies

Pfizer’s and Moderna’s clinical trials for the COVID vaccine in toddlers
revealed that leaky respiratory viral vaccines tend to increase, not decrease, the risk of respiratory viruses. In Moderna’s trial of babies ages 6 to 23 months, researchers found a statistically significant increase in respiratory viruses within 28 days of vaccination.

For croup, 1.3% of mRNA-1273 recipients were infected, compared to just 0.3% of placebo recipients. For RSV, the infection rate was 0.8% for mRNA-1273 recipients and 0.5% for the placebo group. For pneumonia, 0.2% of mRNA-1273 recipients were affected, while no cases occurred in the placebo group.

In Moderna’s trial for children ages 2 to 5 years, 0.3% of participants developed pneumonia compared to none of the placebo recipients. For RSV, the rates were 0.4% for vaccinated children and less than 0.1% for the placebo group. In other words, young children in the vaccine group were
four times more likely to contract RSV within four weeks of the shot than those in the placebo group.

This trend persisted even among 6- to 11-year-olds, who are less susceptible to RSV. In that group, 0.3% of vaccine recipients experienced the illness compared to zero cases in the placebo group.

Pfizer’s children’s vaccine clinical trial for toddlers (
see page 51) also recorded serious adverse events, including RSV bronchiolitis (five participants), pneumonia (two participants), gastroenteritis (two participants), and lower respiratory tract infections (two participants).

Clearly, respiratory viral vaccines make individuals more vulnerable to RSV. Many people now avoid these vaccines, but the industry has adopted a clever marketing tactic: offering a monoclonal antibody as a prophylactic measure against RSV, alongside the GSK, Pfizer, and Moderna shots. Originally developed by AstraZeneca and now distributed by Sanofi, Beyfortus (nirsevimab) has been administered to newborns since last October. New mothers are convinced their babies could suddenly die from RSV, which may have originated in the 1950s through
polio vaccine research. According to the CDC, 40.5% of babies in America received Beyfortus during the last RSV season.

The FDA’s briefing document on Moderna’s clinical trial reported that the Moderna shot not only worsened the disease but also “blunted” Beyfortus’ efficacy in babies who received both. But what the report fails to disclose is that Beyfortus is as problematic as Moderna’s mRESVIA.

After hundreds of thousands of French babies received Beyfortus in 2023, Dr. Helen Banoun identified a
shocking and unexplained increase in infant deaths linked to the vaccine’s uptake. Banoun also highlighted the FDA’s own data, which shows — clearly and alarmingly — a much higher rate of deaths in the Beyfortus treatment group compared to the placebo. This data appears on page 70 of the Biologics License Application for Beyfortus, but it seems the manufacturers rely on no one reading it.

Other literature cited in the Banoun paper shows that children were getting sicker with respiratory illnesses, signaling immune imprinting and disease enhancement — negative efficacy against the very illness the vaccines are supposed to treat.

According to VAERS reports,
a baby boy died immediately after receiving the injection, and a baby girl was found unresponsive seven hours later. “Sudden infant death syndrome,” indeed.

What Trump can do

Moreover, the problem extends beyond the individuals receiving the vaccine. Dr. Peter McCullough has documented
growing evidence that these products may be creating super-resistant strains of RSV.

We cannot continue like this as a civilization. Continuing mass vaccination without immediate restrictions and research violates the principles of the pro-life movement, based on the available data. It also violates the Nuremberg Code on human experimentation.

To that end, Trump’s next HHS secretary would do well to implement the following policies regarding vaccines:

  • No shot should be marketed as a vaccine in any way if it is not proven to stop infection.
  • No shot should be approved without a full placebo group that is kept permanently to study long-term differences with the trial group.
  • No shot should be approved unless it shows an all-cause mortality benefit over time and most certainly cannot show more deaths in the trial group.
  • No shot should be approved for one age group when there are clear safety signals in other age groups, unless it can be proven that those safety issues do not apply to the targeted cohort. For example, even after the FDA admitted that RSV shots caused Guillain-Barré syndrome and walked back its approval for people over 60, the agency still recommends the shots for people over 75.
  • No mRNA shots whatsoever.
  • No shot should be approved without oncogenicity, genotoxicity, or long-term safety studies, none of which were conducted with any of the RSV shots.

This issue is no longer just about COVID or Operation Warp Speed. The RSV vaccine approvals were conducted openly, despite known problems with these shots from day one — just like in 1967. They didn’t even need to rely on emergency use authorization.

We have simply too much public information to sustain this deception any longer. The time for action on this long-standing failure is January 20, not a day later.

‘Preposterous’: Biden admin extends liability protection to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers

The Biden Department of Health and Human Services has extended liability protection to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and administrators through Dec. 31, 2029, precluding vaccine recipients who reportedly end up injured or their surviving family members from holding those responsible to account.

Kim Mack Rosenberg, general counsel for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense,
called the decision from the outgoing administration “very concerning,” not only because it protects pharmaceutical companies and the government but because it “allows for largely unfettered product development.”

Health Secretary Xavier Becerra
suggested in his declaration that continued coverage for the manufacture, testing, development, distribution, administration, and use of FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines, drugs, and diagnostics under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act “is intended to prepare for and mitigate the credible risk presented by COVID-19.”

Although the federal public health emergency for COVID-19
expired on May 11, 2023, and the virus has reportedly moved from a pandemic to the endemic phase, Becerra suggested that COVID-19 continues to both “present a credible risk of a future public health emergency” and “cause significant serious illness, morbidity, and mortality during outbreaks.” Citing these supposed risks, he suggested that it was necessary to renew liability protection to ensure the continued development and stockpiling of vaccines.

‘The only threat is a loss of air-tight liability that leaves the vast majority of victims out of luck.’

The Congressional Research Service
previously noted that under the HHS declaration, covered persons in most cases cannot be sued for losses — including death, physical or mental injury, and business interruption loss — relating to the use or administration of COVID-19 vaccines.

The
sole exception to PREP Act immunity is for death or serious physical injury caused by “willful misconduct.” To qualify as willful misconduct, the covered person must have “acted (i) intentionally to achieve a wrongful purpose; (ii) knowingly without legal or factual justification; and (iii) in disregard of a known or obvious risk that is so great as to make it highly probable that the harm will outweigh the benefit.”

The liability protections for the COVID-19 vaccines were first introduced in January 2020. This is the 12th extension.

Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland suggested the Biden administration was “attempting to tie the hands of the incoming administration in its treatment of emergencies and pandemics. This is not the way elections and transfer of power are supposed to work.”

Ray Flores, who serves as senior outside counsel for Kennedy’s organization,
told the Defender, “It is preposterous that HHS extended PREP Act protections based on a no-longer-existing threat. The only threat is a loss of air-tight liability that leaves the vast majority of victims out of luck.”

Bloomberg Law
reported that Becerra’s declaration comes amid calls for COVID-19 vaccines to be covered under the HHS’ Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. In its notice, the HHS indicated that Americans injured by COVID-19 vaccines will still be unable to seek compensation through the VICP.

COVID-19 vaccines are instead covered “countermeasures” under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. The PREP Act authorizes the CICP to provide some compensation to individuals who suffered serious physical injury as the direct result of the supposedly “safe and effective” COVID-19 vaccines.

COVID-19 vaccines have reportedly been shown in some cases to cause significant harm.

A study published January in the pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety
indicated that “COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death.”

In addition to noting the
well-documented correlation between the COVID-19 vaccines and increased risk of heart conditions, a study conducted by the Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project — a Global Vaccine Data Network initiative supported by both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the HHS — and published February in the journal Vaccine detailed troubling links between the AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines and medical conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, brain and spinal cord inflammation, Bell’s palsy, and convulsions.

Despite suggesting vaccinations were still worthwhile, a 2023 study published in the Elsevier Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences
noted that “a survey has found that 65% of participants experience adverse reactions.”

As of Nov. 1, 13,520 claims were
filed with the CIPC. Of the 3,438 decisions made so far, only 65 claims were found eligible for compensation. Of that number, only 18 claims were compensated.

The claims cited a wide range of injuries, including blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks. There were also 671 claims stating the COVID-19 vaccines resulted in death.

Democrat Bob Casey finally concedes Senate election to McCormick after trying to count illegal votes in Pennsylvania

The contentious campaign for one of Pennsylvania’s seats in the U.S. Senate is finally over after Democratic incumbent Bob Casey called Republican challenger Dave McCormick to concede.

Republicans accused election officials in several Pennsylvania counties of trying to subvert the election by illegally counting votes in the recount. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court sided with Republicans, but some officials indicated that they would ignore the ruling and continue.

‘When a Pennsylvanian takes the time to cast a legal vote, often waiting in long lines and taking time away from their work and family, they deserve to know that their vote will count. That’s democracy.’

On Thursday, 16 days after Election Day, Casey conceded the election.

“I just called Dave McCormick to congratulate him on his election to represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” he said in a video posted to social media.

McCormick issued a brief response.

“Senator Bob Casey dedicated his career to bettering our commonwealth. Dina and I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Senator Casey, Terese, and their family for their decades of service, hard work, and personal sacrifice,” he said.

The official count of votes gave McCormick a lead of about 16,000 votes over Casey, which added up to a margin of just under .5%. That narrowly fell within the cutoff point for a recount, though critics said it was unlikely to overturn the official results given historical trends.

“When a Pennsylvanian takes the time to cast a legal vote, often waiting in long lines and taking time away from their work and family, they deserve to know that their vote will count. That’s democracy,” Casey concluded.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee had called Casey’s attorney in the matter a “scumbag” as the controversy continued.

The seat will give Republicans a 53-47 majority in the next session of the U.S. Senate.

Dems hatch scheme to shoehorn Kamala Harris into presidency despite losing election — if Biden has the courage

Democrats and other pro-Harris supporters began floating a scheme intended to temporarily insert Vice President Kamala Harris into the Oval Office just to make history and ruin Trump merchandise sales.

‘Generation participation-trophy has reached adulthood & still wants a prize.’

NewsNation contributor Kurt Bardella argued that President Joe Biden should resign and allow Harris to take over presidential duties until Trump’s second inauguration in January.

“I think if you’re President Joe Biden, there’s nothing left to run for. There’s nothing left to really do. Pardon your son, then resign and elevate Kamala Harris to the presidency and make one more mark in the history books while you can,” said Bardella to a NewsNation panel.

“If I were Joe Biden, that’s exactly what I would do,” he added. “Again, you have a very short runway left of being relevant and being able to make your mark in a historic way. Why not do it that way?”

“You know, it’s not the craziest thing I’ve ever heard,” responded Mick Mulvaney, the former acting White House chief of staff under Trump.

Others on social media were also pushing the idea that Harris should be allowed to be called the 47th president of the U.S. even if it were only to be on an temporary basis.

“Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47 and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag,” read one viral tweet that garnered over 4.1 million views.

“President Biden should resign as an act of protest tomorrow so Kamala Harris could be sworn in as the first female president until January. That would make Trump 48 and ruin that stupid hat of his. Can we get this trending,” wrote an activist account.

“Since we’re never ever going to see a brown person or a woman nominated for President ever again, Biden should resign tomorrow and give Kamala Harris and us a bit of history for the next two months,” read another comment.

Still others mocked what would amount to be a presidential participation trophy.

“‘Let the child win.’ For her self-esteem. The ultimate in insulting DEI infantilization of a world leader,” responded Christopher Bedford, Blaze Media Washington correspondent.

“Generation participation-trophy has reached adulthood & still wants a prize,” he added.

Pennsylvania officials silent over election integrity concerns

Former President Donald Trump won a lawsuit in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, alongside the Republican National Committee on Wednesday after law enforcement turned voters away from mail-in voter registration before the original deadline lapsed. As a result, the state ruled in favor of Trump and extended the deadline to request a mail-in ballot from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1.

Although this was a victory for the Trump camp as well as for voters, Pennsylvania officials have stayed silent on how this was able to happen in the first place.

Shapiro was quick to criticize Trump, who he said has ‘attacked our elections over and over,’ but has remained silent following the verdict, failing to clarify whether there will be any investigation into the individuals who violated the Pennsylvania election code.

“Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before,” Trump said ahead of the ruling. “REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!”

Prior to the ruling, Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro responded to Trump’s claim, saying he is just trying to “stoke chaos” ahead of the election.

“Republican and Democratic clerks of elections are doing their jobs here in Pennsylvania — and together with law enforcement, they’re making sure only eligible voters are able to register and vote,” Shapiro said in a post on X before the ruling.

“He’s now trying to use the same playbook to stoke chaos, but hear me on this: we will again have a free and fair, safe and secure election — and the will of the people will be respected,” Shapiro continued.

Shapiro was quick to criticize Trump, who he said has “attacked our elections over and over,” but has remained silent following the verdict, failing to clarify whether there will be any investigation into whether individuals violated the Pennsylvania election code.

Blaze News reached out to officials like Shapiro, as well as Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmitt, Attorney General Michelle Henry, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Bucks County Deputy Director of Communications James O’Malley, and Director of Policy and Communications Eric Nagy.

As of this writing, none of them have responded to a request for comment from Blaze News.

“This is illegal, and [Shapiro] should do something about operatives in his own party depriving people of their right to vote,” Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said Thursday of the allegations. “If he doesn’t, he is complicit in voter fraud.”

Andrew Cuomo faces criminal referral for alleged COVID-related cover-up

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing a criminal referral for allegedly making “criminally false statements” about a July 2020 report that downplayed the number of COVID-related nursing home deaths.

On Wednesday, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic referred Cuomo to the Department of Justice, arguing that he lied about his involvement in the New York State Department of Health’s report. However, the subcommittee’s formal referral does not compel the DOJ to move forward with further investigation.

‘The Department of Justice should consider Mr. Cuomo’s prior allegedly wrongful conduct.’

According to a draft of the subcommittee’s criminal referral, the report undercounted the number of deaths by 46%.

Cuomo repeatedly claimed he did not recall seeing the report before its public release, Blaze News previously reported. However, evidence uncovered by the subcommittee allegedly revealed that Cuomo personally made edits to the document.

The referral, signed by Representative Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), accused the former governor of making a “conscious, calculated effort” to skirt responsibility for the nursing home death scandal.

“Mr. Cuomo provided false statements to the select subcommittee in what appears to be a conscious, calculated effort to insulate himself from accountability,” Wenstrup wrote in the referral letter. “The Department of Justice should consider Mr. Cuomo’s prior allegedly wrongful conduct when evaluating whether to charge him for the false statements described.”

A June 2020 email from Cuomo’s former assistant allegedly revealed that he had made edits to the report before its release. He requested that it include language emphasizing how “community spread among employees or possibly visitation by family and friends were relevant factors” in the deaths. His edits were included in the final version of the report.

Additionally, congressional documents allegedly uncovered that Cuomo’s aides requested “two copies” of the report be sent to his residence before its release.

Cuomo fired back at the criminal referral by filing his own against the subcommittee.

The former governor’s criminal referral reads, “This interrogation far exceeded the Subcommittee’s jurisdiction and appears to have been an improper effort to advantage the interests of private litigants against Governor Cuomo, warranting investigation by the Department of Justice.”

Richard Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, stated, “This taxpayer-funded farce is an illegal use of Congress’s investigative authority.”

“The governor said he didn’t recall because he didn’t recall. The committee lied in their referral just as they have been lying to the public and the press,” Azzopardi stated.

ALERT: Why ‘bombshell’ deepfake video days before election is a threat

We’ve been warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence for decades, and now it’s finally here.

Most recently, the state-run media went nuts over an AI-generated image of Donald Trump in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform, but that’s not the kind of “deepfake” that Americans should be concerned about.

“Deepfake images, audio and video, are reaching a level of sophistication that far surpasses anything we’ve seen before now,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” says, reading from his new book, “Propaganda Wars.”

This is a massive issue, especially considering that there are more elections happening simultaneously across the globe than ever before in human history.

“We’re one of the last,” Glenn says. “So have deepfakes been used in the last year? Yes. Warning, usually in the last day or two because there’s not enough time to combat it. So right before everybody goes in for the final day, something is released on one of the candidates, and it shows them doing something or saying something.”

And this has already happened in America.

Just last year in Chicago, there was a mayoral race that was extremely contentious between Brandon Johnson and Paul Valas.

Right before one of the rounds of primary voting, a deepfake audio of Valas was released in which he was flippantly discussing cops killing people as if it were a good thing.

“None of this was true. It was a deepfaked audio; none of it was real, but it circulated widely right before the election, and Brandon Johnson ended up doing a lot better than people thought,” Justin Haskins, co-author of “Propaganda Wars,” tells Glenn.

Johnson, who is African-American, then went on to win the race.

“Johnson was the anti-establishment, socialist candidate, presented himself to the African-American community as ‘I’m going to represent you,’ and here you had audio of the other candidate saying, ‘I don’t care if black people get killed by cops,’” Haskins says.

“There’s no way of actually tracking the specific correlation between this and the outcome of the race; it’s just not possible. But that’s the whole point. It creates all sorts of uncertainty and confusion, and we don’t know how many people were impacted by this. Maybe not enough to swing the election, but maybe it was enough to swing the election,” he adds.

Shocking voter-fraud risk: Dallas County ballots allegedly accessible online

Barry Wernick, a Republican running for Texas House District 108, reported Tuesday that he filed a complaint with the Texas secretary of state against the Dallas County Elections Department after he claimed he found his actual ballot posted online.

Wernick, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, shared the news on X, explaining how he made the shocking discovery.

‘Irreparable damage may have already been done.’

According to Wernick, he went to the DCED’s website to view his sample ballot and was redirected to the Clarity Elections portal.

Clarity Elections is an election night reporting portal that is operated by SOE Software.

“After clicking on the link & being transferred to the Clarity Elections portal, instead of seeing a sample ballot, I viewed a downloadable & printable .pdf file of my actual die-cut mail-in ballot with a colored stamp of the initials (HG) of Election Administrator Heider Garcia,” Wernick stated.

Wernick shared a screenshot of Garcia’s initials at the bottom of the ballot. He noted that the online ballot’s markings were consistent with an actual ballot and not a sample.

The images of the online ballot were “not locked, encrypted, or watermarked in any way,” Wernick added.

He called for the DCED to immediately take the ballots offline.

“Because there is no law against publishing an actual mail-in ballot, anyone with access to a registered voter’s legal first name and last name and the same voter’s birth date could easily and legally print out or digitally manipulate that voter’s ballot,” he continued. “Then that person could illegally and potentially surreptitiously inject it into the system thereby disenfranchising and diluting my vote, in this instance, and any other registered voter’s vote without getting caught.”

Wernick added, “Irreparable damage may have already been done. But enjoining Dallas County Elections Department from publishing this information could mitigate any future potential damage to our election system.”

Blaze News replicated the process Wernick used to access his ballot by using another Texas voter’s information. The results were identical: The ballot displayed online lacked a “sample” watermark, included timing marks, and featured Garcia’s initials at the bottom, just like Wernick’s.

Rick Weible, who appeared in Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary “Vindicating Trump” and has repeatedly attempted to expose the vulnerabilities of the Election Systems & Software accumulator, said, “This ballot can be printed and used for swaps and injections … no timing marks or initials should be on any sample ballot.”

In a statement to Blaze News, the Texas secretary of state said, “I cannot speak to any formal election complaints because that information is considered private.”

“I can point out that printing a sample ballot does not provide a means for it to be inserted into the election process as there are checks for ballots both for in-person voting and voting by mail. There is not a way for voters to use a sample ballot in place of a regular ballot,” the secretary of state added.

The Dallas County Elections Department and SOE Software did not respond to a request for comment.

Liz Wheeler interviews doctor known for exposing COVID corruption, but YouTube says NOPE

When Liz Wheeler invited cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on the show to discuss his research on the corruption in the medical industry, especially regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, she had a feeling the episode would be censored by YouTube.

And she was right. All Liz was able to post was a tiny clip of her conversation with Dr. McCullough.

In the 30-second clip she was able to play, it’s clear why YouTube, which we know has sold out at the expense of preserving free speech, would shoot down Liz’s episode.


– YouTube

www.youtube.com

Here are just two lines from Dr. McCullough:

“The vaccines – it’s like a religious belief, and if you confront somebody on their religious belief, you know around the time of an election, people are going to start to react badly.”

“Think about the transgender disaster that’s going on right now and being promoted by HHS. Think about the corruption in the CDC, the NIH, and FDA. We’re looking at a major house cleaning and a change in philosophy oriented toward patient safety and freedom of choice — medical freedom of choice, free of mandates and other types of constraints.”

“YouTube won’t let me play the rest of my episode,” Liz laments, adding that the “conversation with Dr. McCullough is fascinating.”

Unfortunately, Liz “can’t even tell you the topics [they] discussed without risking a strike.”

However, you can watch the full episode, which covers Dr. McCullough’s work on COVID, medical freedom, and cardiology, as well as his explanation on how deadly the COVID vaccine is and what individuals who received the jab can do to protect themselves. The episode also includes Liz and Dr. McCullough’s discussion over what the medical establishment might look like under a potential second Trump administration, what’s on the horizon for patients, doctors, and all Americans, and Dr. McCullough’s take on RFK Jr.’s plan to “Make America Healthy Again.”
