ROME—The strange case of a top Vatican cardinal who Pope Francis dismissed in September has just taken a Machiavellian turn that would make Dan Brown proud. Giovanni Angelo Becciu, the Vatican’s former secretary of state and, until recently, head of the Holy See’s saint-making wing, has been accused of funneling some $800,000 of the pope’s charity money to Australia to buy false testimony against his archrival, Cardinal George Pell, while he was on trial for sexually abusing choir boys in Australia more than 30 years ago. Becciu adamantly denies all wrongdoing, issuing a statement Monday in which he said, “I categorically […]
The assholes have their masks on now as Trump is hauled away, hiding from his debate loss while (probably) faking COVID Bush 43 hates Trump? Have we heard from Cheney and Rumsfeld? Dick and Donald have been relatively silent and they are the real power behind the GOP’s muscle, their control of the JSOC which kept America in war during 8 years of Obama, crippling White House attempts to wrest control of the military from Pentagon traitors and private contractors paid by the Saudi’s.

According to the hacktivist collective, the files provide, for the first time, “a detailed map” on the British intelligence services’ clandestine operations in Syria to fund, arm and provide a sanitized, publicly acceptable media voice to an array of opposition militants and jihadists seeking to topple the Assad government. Anonymous, the international hacking group behind the 2018 publication of documents detailing the UK government’s Integrity Initiative media manipulation project, has released a new trove of dozens upon dozens of files on a separate, clandestine project by the British and American governments to handcraft a broad, pro-opposition, anti-Assad propaganda narrative which has […]

… by Preston James Traditionally, the business of starting wars has been a long arduous process of geopolitical and economic manipulations and numerous provocations. With the development of the War on Terror, it has become much faster and easier for the folks that really run things to start wars so they can make huge war profits and further expand and centralize the governments they control in order to gain even more totalitarian power. The idea of declaring a ongoing “forever war” with no end ever, against a single concept began with the War on Poverty under LBJ. This idea of fighting […]
New research has discovered that coronavirus tests may be finding traces of dead virus cells from weeks-old infections, resulting in false positives that inflate the scale of the pandemic. The study was carried out by experts from the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine and the University of the West of England. It found there was a risk of “false positives” because of how Covid-19 testing is being conducted. The scientists discovered that, despite people with Covid-19 being infectious for only around a week, one test used to detect the disease can still give a positive reading weeks after the […]

Texas medical board takes warning shot at Dr. Stella Immanuel, others touting COVID ‘cure’ by Todd Ackerman/Houston Chronicle In an apparent warning shot at Dr. Stella Immanuel, the Texas agency that regulates the practice of medicine has advised physicians it can take action against those who promise a cure for COVID-19. The Texas Medical Board issued a statement about such claims Friday, just a few days after Immanuel, a Houston pastor-doctor, very publicly touted hydroxychloroquine as a cure for the disease. Numerous studies have found the drug does not show any benefit against COVID-19 and the Food and Drug Administration has cautioned about its use […]

A man who crossed into North Korea and put the city of Kaesong on high alert because he had symptoms resembling coronavirus is unlikely to have been a transmitter of the deadly contagion, Seoul’s health officials have claimed. The man in question – who fled from the North three years ago – returned to his homeland on July 19. He reportedly showed up in Kaesong, his home city, and on-site medical screening returned “uncertain results,” Pyongyang’s state media reported. Fearing that he could become North Korea’s patient zero, the authorities immediately called a meeting to address an emergency “that may lead […]

A Chattanooga restaurant was viciously harassed and threatened with arson after a local news station incorrectly reported they had donated food to a pro-police rally, ultimately forcing them to cancel the catering order. A caller threatened to burn down Shuford’s Smokehouse last week after a news outlet mistakenly reported that the 33-year-old Chattanooga barbecue spot had donated food for a pro-police ‘Back the Blue’ rally to be held that Saturday. It was far from the only threatening phone call the restaurant received, but it was enough to convince them to cancel the $1,000 order. Also on rt.com Tennessee newspaper apologizes after […]
