COVID-19 vaccination campaigns around the globe have failed to meet fundamental standards of safety and efficacy, leading to mounting evidence of significant harm. More than 81,000 physicians, scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected government officials, 17 professional public health and physician organizations, 2 State Republican Parties, 17 Republican Party County Committees, and 6 scientific studies from across the world have called for the market withdrawal of COVID-19 vaccines. As of September 6, 2024, the CDC has documented 19,028 deaths in the United States reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) by healthcare professionals or pharmaceutical companies who believe the product is related to the death...#8 Healthy People Don’t Need AI-Created mRNA Jabs - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, Tracy Smith, Snow White, Careless, and Tim Boyer on X
The billionaires clamoring to influence President Trump and accelerate artificial intelligence, specifically its position in healthcare, are undoubtedly driven by the massive profits at stake. Stock in Moderna—a deep state and DARPA partner that received $590 million from Joe Biden to enhance mRNA capabilities a mere two days before the former president vacated the White House—surged after Oracle’s Larry Ellison declared at a press briefing held by President Trump that artificial intelligence (AI) would soon be used to analyze blood tests and develop customized mRNA cancer vaccines within 48 hours. What? Considering the sheer failure of mRNA technology during the pandemic, why not, for example, put those billions into a nationwide project using AI to personalize a person’s diet using whole, organic, and local food to cure a detected illness?#7 California Independence Could Be On 2028 Ballot - James Bickerton for Newsweek, Rep.

#6 The Legal Legacy of Netflix's Docudrama "Making a Murderer" - Traci Ciepiela for UncoverDC, Isabella Maria DeLuca, and AntiCorporatism on X
Is it the end of the Making a Murderer case with an appellate decision on January 15th? You may not realize, but after the end of the major 2015 Netflix Docudrama "Making a Murderer," it wasn't the end of the case. Not only was there a second season of the docudrama, Candace Owens took a stab at explaining what the docudrama left out in the Daily Wire's "Convicting a Murderer," but there have been several appeals ongoing since. A decision by the appellate court in Wisconsin earlier this month seems to allow for an attempt at an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, or new evidence will have to be uncovered if there is a chance for the case to continue.#5 Trump Invites Nearly All Federal Workers to Quit Now, Get Paid Through September - Andrea Hsu for NPR, Elon Musk, Sahil Kapur, and Nick Sortor on X

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pulling the security protections and clearance of retired Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley, and has ordered the Pentagon’s inspector general to review Milley’s actions while serving as the nation’s top uniformed officer to determine if a demotion is warranted, two defense officials confirmed late Tuesday. The inspector general review will include “an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen Milley’s conduct so that the Secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” said Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot...

#2 Trump Signs Executive Order to Restrict Transgender Care Access for People Under 19 - Kiara Alfonseca for ABC News, Elon Musk/Matt Walsh, End Wokeness, and Charlie Kirk on X
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19. The order would move to restrict medical institutions that receive federal funding from providing such care -- including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries -- calling on the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to "take all appropriate actions to end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children." The executive order does not appear to restrict these procedures for non-transgender people under 19...

And Now for Something Special 
New Class of Matter Behaves Like a Solid and a Granule in Way Never Seen Before - Andy Corbley for Good News Network, 3Dnatives, Mario Nawfal, and Eric Martin Willen on X
From the depths of the engineering department at California Technical Institute comes a big one: a new class of matter. Though scientists are trained not to be, maybe laboratory director Chiara Daraio was being hyperbolic when she described the new material as such, but she and the team that invented it claim it behaves as both a solid and a grain. The materials are called polycatenated architectured materials, or PAMs, and when they are compressed, they act like the hard crystalline latticework like a solid, but when they are subjected to sheer force or lateral force, they behalf like a Newtonian liquid, or more specifically, like a grain—such as sand or rice simply—reorganizing their structure to accommodate the motion...
