Today’s Top 5:
We told you last week that there would come a time you wouldn’t know what to believe!
1.There Is Now A Deep Fake Video Of Ron DeSantis Dropping Out Of The 2024 Race
A video of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announcing that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race has been making the rounds on social media—but it is of course a deep fake, a video created by artificial intelligence.
It was reportedly created by satirist C3PMeme on YouTube, and subsequently posted to X and other platforms.
And that even the media itself would be duped …
2.Daily Beast Falls for Fake Interview (While Wrongly Accusing John Solomon of Fake Trump Interview)
You have to love it when liberal media gets hoisted with their own petard.
The Daily Beast had to issue a pretty huge correction to a story they ran regarding an interview John Solomon and Amanda Head did for Real America’s Voice of former President Donald Trump. The Beast claimed that there were questions raised about the Trump interview, that it was glitchy and made people wonder if it was AI.
And there were even stories out where they were blocking the roads and there was an ebola outbreak at the event!
3.‘Mudpocalypse’ Hits Burning Man, 73,000 Trapped In ‘Toxic’ Lake Bed In Nevada Desert
On Sunday evening, a White House official said President Biden was briefed on the situation at the Burning Man festival located in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Some decided not to wait and walked 5 miles to get out of the muck! So much for counterculture, eh?
4.Watch as celebrities and influencers try to escape the sludge of Burning Man 2023
Burning Man organizers told more than 70,000 attendees to shelter in place after heavy rain on Friday turned the festival’s desert landscape into a sludgy mess.
The nine-day festival held annually in Nevada is known for attracting billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, as well as all kinds of celebrities and influencers.
Among the thousands of stranded visitors at this year’s festival were celebrities like Chris Rock, as well as social media influencers with millions of followers, who are chronicling their journey to escape the sludge.
And the depopulation effort is back in the news again … this time in a new survey!
5.FDA, CDC Hid Data on Spike in COVID Cases Among the Vaccinated: Documents
COVID-19 cases among vaccinated seniors soared in 2021, according to newly disclosed data that was acquired by U.S. health agencies but not presented to the public.
Humetrix Cloud Services was contracted by the U.S. military to analyze vaccine data. The company performed a fresh analysis as authorities considered in 2021 whether COVID-19 vaccine boosters were necessary amid studies finding waning vaccine effectiveness.
Humetrix researchers found that the proportion of total COVID-19 cases among the seniors was increasingly comprised of vaccinated people, according to the newly disclosed documents.
WORLD NEWS
Putin says he won’t renew the grain deal until the West meets his demands. The West says it has
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that a landmark deal allowing Ukraine to export grain safely through the Black Sea amid the war won’t be restored until the West meets Moscow’s demands on its own agricultural exports.
Ukraine and its Western allies have dismissed the Kremlin’s demands as a ploy to advance its own interests.
Still, Putin’s remarks dashed hopes that his talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could revive an agreement seen as vital for global food supplies, especially in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Kim Jong-un expected to make rare trip to Russia for Putin meeting
North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un is set to travel to Russia this month to discuss with President Vladimir Putin supplying weapons for the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine, the New York Times first reported Monday.
The big picture: News of Kim’s rare trip abroad comes as Moscow officials said they’re discussing inaugural joint naval exercises with their Pyongyang counterparts and after the White House expressed concern about deepening military ties between Russia and North Korea.
Driving the news: National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement that “arms negotiations” between Moscow and the Pyongyang “are actively advancing.”
Ukrainian parliament sacks defense minister
The vote follows Aleksey Reznikov’s letter of resignation, which he tendered at the president’s request
Ukrainian lawmakers have overwhelmingly voted to relieve Aleksey Reznikov of his duties as defense minister. He tendered his resignation on Monday, a day after President Vladimir Zelensky announced plans to replace the official.
The vote tally, shared on social media by a member of parliament, showed 327 votes in favor of dismissing Reznikov, and just four against.
Reznikov had held the post since November 2021. He attended the parliamentary hearing to brief the legislature on what he considered his main achievements in office, such as securing massive amounts of Western military aid to fight against Russia.
Okinawa forced to allow new US military runways
A Tokyo court has ordered the prefecture to approve the new air strips despite public opposition
Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture will have to allow new US Marine Corps air strips to be built on its main island regardless of public opposition to Washington’s increasing military presence in the region, a Tokyo court has ruled.
The Japanese Supreme Court made its ruling against Okinawa on Monday, saying plans approved by the central government in Tokyo were valid. Construction of the new runways, which had been suspended during the legal dispute, must now be allowed to resume.
Australian State to Drop COVID Vaccine Mandates for Health Workers
Queensland’s government is set to remove a significant COVID-19 vaccination mandate that has led to the resignation or dismissal of thousands of staff over the last two years.
The final decision will come after a two-week consultation with various stakeholders including staff, unions, and patient safety advocacy groups, Queensland’s Health Minister Shannon Fentiman said. The decision could allow unvaccinated public health staff to head back to work in a fortnight.

German car industry issues energy-price warning
The country is losing its status as a major production hub due to rising costs, Hildegard Muller says
The future of
Germany’s car production is at risk due to “toxic” energy prices, the president of the Association of the Automotive Industry, Hildegard Muller, has warned.
Germany “is losing dramatically its international competitiveness” as the location for the automobile industry because of soaring energy costs, Muller stated in an interview with the head of Microsoft Germany, Marianne Janik, on Monday.
Other countries are becoming more attractive for important industries such as battery or semiconductor manufacturing, which is a worrisome message for Germany amid an already unfavorable economic situation in the country, she said.
According to Muller, soaring energy prices have become “toxic” for the country’s medium-sized suppliers. They warn that investment will no longer flow into Germany but instead will shift away to other
EU countries or to the US.

The Senate trial of suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton begins this morning!
Texas Prepares for Historic Impeachment Trial Against Attorney General Ken Paxton
The Texas Senate will convene Tuesday for a historic impeachment trial against state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who is accused of accepting bribes and abusing his office.
Paxton became the third official in state history to be impeached when the House approved 20 articles of impeachment in May. The last time a statewide official was convicted on articles of impeachment happened in 1917, with former Gov. James Ferguson (D).
U.S. probing 100 incidents of Chinese nationals entering military bases, weapons sites
‘Right now, they don’t know how to deal with it’
More than 100 incidents where Chinese nationals have accessed or neared U.S. military bases and other sensitive locations have sparked suspicions of a wider espionage campaign driven by Beijing, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials.
The FBI, Department of Defense and other agencies have dubbed the situation, where Chinese nationals appear to feign accidentally approaching high-security U.S. military installations and other federal sites, “gate crashing,” and held a review in 2022 to figure out a way to tamp down on the incidents, the WSJ reported, citing the officials. The officials said the practice appears intended to stress-test security measures at the military sites as a form of low-effort reconnaissance or espionage.

‘Dangerous’: Law Professor Sounds Alarm on Attempts to Disqualify Trump
Even Rep. Adam Schiff is pushing that idea … that the Supreme Court will agree with him!
An attempt to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on 2024 presidential ballots based on a theory derived from the Constitution’s 14th Amendment was dismissed by a prominent law professor on Tuesday.
A theory that has recently been floated in the media claims that the former president could be blocked from ballots under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment via the Disqualifications Clause, which states that individuals who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” cannot hold office. Proponents of the claim say that President Trump engaged in “insurrection” during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach.
But George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley stated that the new theory is “not simply dubious but dangerous.”

In Maui Fires, Defying Police Blockades Proved Life-Saving
Christy Albinson still has nightmares. The nightmares of children are the worst, she says, nearly a month after the tragic Lahaina wildfire in West Maui.
“I’ve been traumatized. My dreams have been pretty whacko. They’re horrible—children buried in the sand. I’m spooked,” Ms. Albinson, 47, said.
And when the panic attacks strike without warning, it’s all she can do to remain calm.
Sometimes, the question crosses her mind: Why did she survive when so many others died?
It’s not so much survivor’s guilt as it is a simmering anger—a feeling that the outcome could have been different for so many if emergency management officials had responded differently.
All Ms. Albinson knows is that people who stayed in their vehicles in traffic perished in the smoke and flames.
Judge Strikes Down Florida Congressional Map as ‘Unconstitutional’
A Florida judge struck down congressional district lines approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis, ruling that the map was “unconstitutional” as it diluted minority voting power in the region.
“This Court will declare the enacted map unconstitutional and enjoin the Secretary of State from using that map in future congressional elections,” said the Saturday ruling (pdf) by Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh. The map will be returned to the Legislature for a redrawing as “plaintiffs have shown that the Enacted Plan results in the diminishment of black voters’ ability to elect their candidate of choice in violation of the Florida Constitution.”
DeSantis Super PAC Halts Voter Canvassing in 4 States to Refocus Resources Elsewhere
A super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s 2024 run for the White House said it’s pausing voter canvassing in four states and investing some of the freed-up field resources into three early-voting states.
Never Back Down, the PAC supporting Mr. DeSantis’s presidential bid, is suspending door-knocking operations in Nevada, California, Texas, and North Carolina, The Epoch Times has learned.
Instead, the PAC will be refocusing its efforts and investing some of those field resources into Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina—three early-voting states.
Sidney Powell Alleges Falsehoods in Georgia Trump Indictment
Lawyer and former prosecutor Sidney Powell alleged false claims in the indictment against former President Donald Trump in Georgia.
Ms. Powell, who’s a co-defendant in the case, contradicted several claims in the indictment in an Aug. 30 court filing, asking for her case to be tried separately from the other 18 defendants, including President Trump.
Most of the charges don’t involve her and those that do “fatally depend on demonstrably false premises,” the filing said.
New Debate Rages Over Age Limits for Politicians After McConnell’s Latest Freeze
Days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) froze for 30 seconds while speaking to reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky, voters and political insiders are debating whether there should be age limits in place for anyone seeking political office.
The episode is similar to one Mr. McConnell experienced in the U.S. Capitol last month where he froze while speaking to reporters and has raised questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus or finish his term in office.
“I think he’s having mini-strokes,” Deborah Barnes, an unaffiliated voter in Alexandria, Virginia, told The Epoch Times. “He just stared straight ahead and it looked like his face went pale while people were asking him questions. I think he should retire and take care of his health.”
Mass. Calls Up National Guard for Help With Migrants
Massachusetts Democrat Gov. Maura Healey has activated the National Guard to help provide food, transport, and other care for migrant families living in emergency shelters.
Healey announced in a statement over the weekend that up to 250 National Guard members will be called on to assist with providing medical care, food, and transportation, as well as helping children enroll in local schools. The governor previously issued a state of emergency to help deal with the recent influx of migrant families to the state.
“We’re grateful to the brave men and women of the National Guard for stepping up to help us ensure that every family in emergency shelter has their needs met, including access to food, transportation, medical care, and education. While we work to implement a more permanent staffing solution, the National Guard will provide an efficient and effective means of delivering these services and keeping everybody safe,” Healey said in a statement.
Bill Gates Pushes National ID System
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is pushing a national identification system that will enhance the slave state for the ruling class. The Seattle-based Gates Foundation, guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, has actively endorsed the Modular Open-Source Identification Platform’s (MOSIP) undertakings with a $10 million pledge.
These billionaire rulers are putting a lot of money and energy into making sure they can track, trace, and surveil every single slave on this planet. Gates is also neck deep in making sure that all of the slave class gets the “vaccines” that the rulers are desperate to make sure people get as many as they can convince them to get.
The Foundation’s aim seems to focus on propelling a universal digital identification framework, especially targeting low to middle-income economies. But as history has shown, with such advancements often come potential pitfalls, particularly regarding personal privacy.
Adapting MOSIP to each nation’s unique requirements means collecting and customizing vast amounts of personal data from the slave class. The system, despite its boasts of an 80+ vendor ecosystem, raises many red flags.
Georgia Alternate Electors Sought to Emulate 1960 JFK–Nixon Challenge, Transcript Shows
A transcript of the Dec. 14, 2020, meeting of the Georgia alternate electors shows that the group convened following the advice of President Donald Trump’s legal counsel, seeking to emulate a 1960 challenge to election results in Hawaii by then-Vice President Richard Nixon.
Alternate electors David Shafer, former chair of the Georgia Republican Party, and Cathy Latham were among the 19 indicted this month for challenging the 2020 election results in Georgia. Prosecutor Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, said that these actions constituted a “criminal racketeering enterprise” and conspiracy to defraud citizens of their vote.
The 98-page indictment names the electors, President Trump, the attorneys who advised the president and electors in 2020, and several others who spoke to election witnesses during the challenge of the vote. The 19 individuals were charged with violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, in addition to 40 other charges.

Tribe Getting Piece of Minnesota Back More Than a Century After Ancestors Died There
Golden prairies and winding rivers of a Minnesota state park also hold the secret burial sites of Dakota people who died as the United States failed to fulfill treaties with Native Americans more than a century ago. Now their descendants are getting the land back.
The state is taking the rare step of transferring the park with a fraught history back to a Dakota tribe, trying to make amends for events that led to a war and the largest mass hanging in U.S. history.
“It’s a place of holocaust. Our people starved to death there,” said Kevin Jensvold, chairman of the Upper Sioux Community, a small tribe with about 550 members just outside the park.

Residents in Springfield, Ohio, are sounding the alarm over illegal immigration in their community as Breitbart News revealed that an illegal alien is accused of causing a school bus accident that left 11-year-old Aiden Clark dead on his first day of school.
Hermanio Joseph, a 35-year-old illegal alien from Haiti, has been formally charged with aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of Aiden Clark, who was on his way to his first day of school when his school bus was hit and ultimately overturned.
According to police, Aiden Clark was killed after being ejected from the bus. Joseph’s bail was increased to $150,000 this week. Joseph arrived at the United States-Mexico border in August 2022 and was released into the U.S. interior after being given a Notice to Appear (NTA).
Early last week, residents attended a city council meeting to express their anger, disgust, sadness, and concerns to local elected officials. A number of residents expressed outrage over the arrival of thousands of Haitian illegal aliens like Joseph in their community even as Mayor Warren Copeland sought to repeatedly interrupt them.
“I watched them come in on buses … I don’t know how they got them here and I don’t know who is responsible,” one woman said. “Did we become a sanctuary city? The people want to know.”

White House Proposes Expansive New Rule for Americans Selling Firearms
The Biden administration has proposed a rule that would essentially classify any American who sells guns as a firearms dealer, thereby tightening gun control measures in the country.
At present, individuals can engage in selling firearms for profit without having to be a registered firearm dealer. The new rules would classify gun sales under business activities and require that individuals engaged in it get a license as well as undertake background checks.
“Specifically, the proposed rule, if finalized, would clarify that an individual would be presumed to be ‘engaged in the business’ of dealing in firearms—and therefore be required to become a licensed firearms dealer and run background checks—if they meet certain conditions,” said an Aug. 31 White House statement.

Social Credit Lite? Unraveling Australia’s Orwellian Crackdown on Bank Clients
The phenomenon of de-banking – the freeze or closure of personal or business accounts based on “reputational risks,” including views that may conflict with those of the government, has been gaining steam in many Western countries once touted as bastions of free speech and liberal democracy. Now, the Land Down Under seems to be the latest victim.
Australia’s second largest bank is taking a headlong jump toward a social credit-style nightmare once thought to be limited to the realm of gritty, fictional cyberpunk dystopias, arming itself with the authority to de-bank clients for a broad range of reasons associated with speech.
The National Australia Bank’s (NAB) terms and conditions, set to step into effect November 1, feature a new “unacceptable account conduct” addendum enabling the banking behemoth to “investigate instances where it identifies or is made aware that an account or an electronic banking service is being used in a financially abusive manner.”

Michigan EV Plant’s Chinese Backer Promotes Communist Propaganda
A China-based company behind the U.S. taxpayer-funded electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Michigan has published reports showing some employees raising their fists pledging loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while others tour a museum wearing what look like Red Army uniforms.
Gotion High-Tech is the China-based parent company of Gotion Inc., which is developing an EV battery plant near Big Rapids, and it recently published reports and video footage showing its staffers participating in pro-communist activities at an apparent work retreat.
Gotion Inc. secured a $1 billion taxpayer support for its factory near Big Rapids, at an overall cost of $2.4 billion, according to reports. Concerns about the deal have been raised by Michigan residents, Republicans, and environmental groups.

DeSantis Slams Claim That Climate Change Is Responsible for Hurricane Idalia
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized claims that climate change was responsible for Hurricane Idalia, which caused extensive damage in northwestern Florida last month.
During a tour on Sunday, the governor and GOP presidential candidate responded to a question about President Joe Biden’s statement that the climate was allegedly responsible for a spate of natural disasters, including Idalia.
“Well, I think if you look, there was a storm that went on this almost exact track in 1896. And it had 125-mile-an-hour winds just like this one,” Mr. DeSantis said in response. He was referring to a storm that hit more than 120 years ago, or just a few decades after the United States began its industrialization process—and years before the widespread use of gas-powered cars.

3 Methods to Wash Laundry When the Power is Out
Methods of off-grid washing vary. A well-designed portable clothes washer can eliminate a good deal of the physical labor involved, and there are numerous options. Only you can determine what is the most effective way for you to do your laundry when there’s no power.
Here are a some of suggestions:
Method 1: Buckets and Plunger
If you are strong, want to get strong, or have kids that need to burn energy, I recommend the 5-gallon bucket and plunger method. It is cheap to make and simple to store. This is what you need:
Supplies
- Two 5-gallon buckets (home improvement store, some restaurants give them away for free)
• Lids for buckets. Washing can be done without a lid, as we have learned, but a lid is better!
• A new plunger, average quality is the minimum. This one was designed specifically for off-grid laundry use.
Instructions
- Take one of the 5-gallon buckets and drill holes all around the side of it.
- Drill holes in the rubber part of the plunger, if you’re using a traditional plunger and not the one we’ve linked to.
- If you choose to use a lid, drill a hole in the lid that is large enough to place over the stick of the plunger.
- Put the bucket with holes inside the other bucket.
- Add water, soap and clothes. Allow enough room for agitation!
- Grab a chair, put the bucket in front of you, and pretend you are plunging the toilet for about 10 minutes.
- Dump dirty water out, fill it with clean water, and continue plunging.
- When you are finished rinsing, place the outer bucket inside the bucket with holes and press or sit on it. Most of the water will drain from your clothes.
- Hang to items to dry using your preferred method.
Method 2: Buckets, Washboard, and Wringer
This method uses more tools to lessen the physical labor.
Supplies
- At least two very large buckets. Try to find some 20 gallon tubs at the big box store.
- Rapid Washer
- Wash board
- A clothes wringer, if possible. If you don’t have the funds to purchase an actual clothes wringer, a mop bucket wringer will work as well. You need something that will get as much water out as possible to help the clothes dry quicker.
- A clothes line outside or some sort of rack inside to hand the clothes out to dry.
Instructions
- Start with warm water in one bucket with a minimal amount of soap. You need soap to clean but too much and it will take longer to get the soap out of your clothes.
- Place clothes in the bucket and just let soak for a couple hours or overnight. Much of the surface dirt will come out of your clothes.
- Use the Rapid Washer (or your hands) to agitate the water. The Rapid Washer helps circulate the water and separate the dirt from the clothes.
- In the second bucket, place your rinse water. Wring out as much of the dirty wash water that you can and put the clothes in the rinse bucket
- Agitate again to get soap out of the items and wring.
- The first bucket of dirty water is then dumped and refilled to make a second rinse bucket.
- If you need to do a second load of laundry, you can reuse the first rinse bucket and repeat the steps.
Method 3: The Lavario
A more sophisticated retail solution is the Lavario Portable Clothes Washer. My husband and I had a chance to give this a try and were impressed with the sturdy construction, effective design, and the easy, smooth operation of washing our clothes. Read my full review of the Lavario, including a video showing us using it.
Other Options
If you are determined to permanently wash without electricity, there are other options to be explored. For instance, a bicycle-powered washing machine or a large hand-cranked machine can be purchased. Antique stores and auctions often have non-electric washing machines from many years ago that are still functional. These vary in price and quality.
Additionally, if you must use your home as your car, modifying one of these options may be worth considering to save money on the laundromat.

Outbreak Alert: Meningococcal Disease Kills 5 In Virginia
Twenty-seven people have been infected with meningococcal disease and another 5 have died in Virginia. The disease is “rare but” causes “serious illness.”
This outbreak, caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis type Y, has been reported in eastern, central, and southwest Virginia since June 2022, according to the Virginia Department of Health. The outbreak is “statewide” and only one person was vaccinated for Neisseria meningitidis type Y out of the 27 reported cases.
“This development is three times the expected number of cases during this time period,” the department said in a news release Wednesday. Most of the cases are in residents of eastern Virginia, where a regional outbreak was first announced in September 2022, according to the release. There were three deaths and 12 cases reported in the most recent alert from the department in March 2023, prior to Wednesday’s notice.
The CDC and mainstream media are pushing vaccines as a preventatitve measure. The Virginina Department of Health says that you should not share lipsticks, toothbrushes, or vapes, and that you should practivc good hygiene.
Taking a garlic immune booster can do wonders to help your immune system strengthen up with the changing seasons. Garlic as medicine can be a powerful ally.
As the weather transitions from winter to spring, you might find yourself needing an immune booster to keep your body strong. As we shed our winter coats a little too soon, and spring allergies begin to lower our immunity, we need an immune booster to keep the common cold at bay.
What’s your natural wellness aid? At the first sign of a cold, a sore throat, fatigue that hints of fighting illness, a pain in my ear … I take some raw garlic. I would say I “eat” raw garlic, but I am hardly eating it. It is more like taking important medicine.
A Dose of Garlic
Select the best garlic you can find. Hard-neck garlic is stronger than soft-neck, so maybe it is more vibrant in its medicinal strength as well. I do not know if regular grocery store garlic is irradiated and weakened or killed off. It would be a good test.
Peel a garlic clove. Using a non-serrated knife, slice the garlic clove as thin as you can (or as thin as you need for swallowing). Slice into slivers, like almond slivers.
Swallow the pieces like a pill, wash down with water. I put the pieces on a spoon with some honey. This makes it really easy to swallow, coats the throat with honey and protects it from garlic juice, and adds some benefits for allergies or sore throats.

Childhood Allergies Linked to Gut Health — Could Taking Antibiotics be the Problem?
A new study suggests that major childhood allergies may have a link to the makeup of someone’s gut bacteria. Moreover, researchers in Canada believe antibiotics could be exacerbating this problem.
A team from the University of British Columbia says that the composition of an infant’s gut microbiota can help predict — and potentially prevent — conditions like hay fever. The study examined 1,115 children from birth to age five, with over half of them developing at least one type of allergy.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome May Be Linked to Vaccine Anaphylaxis
A new tick-borne meat allergy known as alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is making headlines as nearly half a million Americans have reportedly become affected by the potentially life-threatening condition. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cases of AGS are rising and have increased by about 15,000 cases each year between 2017 and 2022.
The recently discovered condition has also been reported in those receiving vaccines containing hydrolyzed gelatin and other byproducts from affected animals, which could explain why some may experience anaphylaxis or meat allergies after vaccination.
Anaphylaxis is an acute, life-threatening hypersensitivity disorder characterized by a generalized, rapidly evolving, multi-systemic allergic reaction.

Fauci Touts Face Masks While Admitting to Ineffectiveness
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that face masks may not be effective on populations when looking at the “pandemic as a whole” but persists in his stance that people need to follow authorities’ recommendations and wear them.
In an interview with CNN on Saturday, Dr. Fauci was asked about a review published in late January at the Cochrane Library, which said there was no evidence to prove the spread of COVID-19 infection could be reduced by the use of face masks. Dr. Fauci admitted that “when you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong.”
But he then went on to insist that when talking “as an individual basis of someone protecting themselves or protecting themselves from spreading it to others, there’s no doubt that there are many studies that show that there is an advantage.”

New Yorkers Advised to Mask Up for Holiday Weekend as COVID Fear Spreads
New Yorkers are being advised by health authorities to consider wearing masks during the Labor Day weekend as COVID-19 cases have spiked and amid a broader resurgence of pandemic hysteria that is fueling a “we will not comply” trend that opposes any new mandates.
NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have urged New Yorkers to take extra precautions, including resorting to “proven prevention tools” like donning masks.
According to the latest data from the New York City Health Department, there have been 825 daily cases of COVID-19 on average over the past week. While this is several times higher than the seven-day average of 230 cases reported on July 4, it is far lower than the 2,000-plus cases around this time in 2022.

People Rarely Transmit COVID-19 Before Experiencing Symptoms: Lancet Study
In a blow to the COVID-19 “silent spreader” narrative that has been used to push for universal masking, including controversially among schoolchildren, a recent study published in The Lancet suggests that people who are non-symptomatic rarely have the ability to infect others.
Silent transmission is the idea that those who are infected with COVID-19 but show no symptoms can still spread the virus to other people.
While all relevant studies show that presymptomatic and asymptomatic “silent spreaders” account for some proportion of infections in other people, the degree of silent transmission is less clear.
CDC & FDA Ignored U.S. Military Investigation Revealing Vaccine Failures, New FOIA Documents Reveal
Non-profit organization ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network) has obtained new documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). These documents shed light on the disregard by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) towards a U.S. military investigation that reportedly indicated vaccine failures as early as January 2021.
The FOIA documents, made public by ICAN, suggest that the CDC and FDA may have overlooked crucial information regarding the efficacy of vaccines. According to ICAN’s findings, a U.S. military investigation conducted in January 2021 apparently revealed signs of vaccine failures. However, the CDC and FDA allegedly failed to acknowledge or address these concerns adequately.
“Through FOIA requests, ICAN’s attorneys have obtained a September 2021 presentation delivered to FDA and NIH higher-ups, including Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, Peter Marks, and Janet Woodcock, which indicated shocking levels of waning immunity and breakthrough infection among the vaccinated as early as July 2021,” according to the press release.
