Biden’s National Science Foundation Has Pumped Nearly $40 Million Into Social Media Censorship Grants and Contracts


National Science Foundation (NSF) spent $38.8 million on government grants and contracts to combat “misinformation” since the start of the Biden administration.

Facebook Says U.S. Military Operation Targeted the Middle East and Russia

Meta has removed several accounts on Facebook and Instagram associated with the U.S. military.

The U.S. influence network, linked to individuals associated with the U.S. military, operated across many internet services and focused on Afghanistan, Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.

Meta says it removed 39 Facebook accounts, 26 Instagram accounts, 16 Facebook Pages, and 2 Facebook groups for violating the "coordinated inauthentic behavior" policy.

A dead giveaway the accounts were fake was that they were posting during U.S. business hours.

In many cases, the campaigns criticized Iran, China, and Russia, focusing on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But, of course, no one's going to care about this kind of interference...

Death of teenager three weeks after Covid jab ‘a significant public concern’, inquest told

A teenager who was given the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine died just three weeks later, an inquest has been told. The death of Joseph McGinty, 14, was a “significant public concern”, coroner Pat O’Connor admitted, revealing that the court had submitted a request for information on the effects of the jab from the US-based pharmaceutical giant.

Joseph received the vaccine on August 20, 2021, suffering what the court termed a significant medical deterioration shortly afterwards.

He spent the night of September 1 at Mayo University Hospital before being discharged the next day, attending hospital a week later for review.
