Levitating Rocks
The most entertaining and optimistic story from the Internet over the last week was the advent of a room-temperature superconductor material known as LK-99.
The material is a combination of lead-apatite and copper and conducts electricity without giving off any waste heat. Other superconductors already exist, but they require extremely cold temperatures to work.
LK-99 was first discovered by a team of researchers in South Korea. One of the researchers published a paper last Friday with instructions on how to make the material.
The technology has been called “the holy grail of modern material science and applied physics.”
It has the potential to eliminate energy loss in transmission lines, generators, and transformers. It could also allow for new technology like levitating trains, quantum desktop computers, and lossless batteries.
In other words, the discovery of LK-99 is a huge deal because it could revolutionize the energy sector and improve the lives of everyone on earth.
This week, 𝕏 has been filled with videos of people attempting to replicate the original South Korean team’s findings. Posts with clips of levitating rocks are becoming increasingly common.
On Monday a US lab based in Berkley published a paper claiming to verify LK-99 as a superconductor.
News of the discovery has yet to filter out to the broader public, but if LK-99 turns out to be legit, we’ll be hearing a lot more about it soon.
Fauci’s Boss
Last weekend, two articles from The Australian shed new light on the origins of Covid-19.
The articles contained bombshell claims from Anthony Fauci’s former boss Robert Kadlec, who said Fauci worked to cover up the virus’s creation at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Kadlec is a former Air Force officer who’s served two decades in US government biosecurity programs. In 2020, he oversaw Operation Warp Speed, the program that led to the mRNA Covid vaccines.
Kadlec told The Australian, “I think Tony Fauci was trying to protect his institution and his own reputation from the possibility that his agency was funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers who, beyond the scope of the grants received from the National Institutes of Health, may have been working with People’s Liberation Army researchers on defensive coronavirus vaccines.”
In 2021 testimony before Congress, Fauci denied ever having funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, famously telling Senator Rand Paul, “Senator Paul, you do not know what you’re talking about.” Last year, Fauci reiterated his denial to the Senate.
Emails revealed by FOIA request have since shown that Fauci worked behind the scenes to steer researchers away from the lab-leak hypothesis, which was shut down as misinformation by the media and fact checkers. Fauci later awarded millions in grants to a group of scientists who changed their minds from the lab leak to natural origins hypothesis.
In February of this year, the Wall Street Journal reported that both the Department of Energy and FBI concluded the virus most likely came from a lab.
In response to the WSJ article, the Biden Administration emphasized there was “no definitive answer” to the question of the virus’s origins. Last month, the White House suspended funding for the WIV as retaliation for the lab’s withholding of information from investigators about coronavirus studies in mice.
Last week, Senator Paul referred Fauci for prosecution to the Department of Justice for lying to Congress about the NIH’s funding of gain-of-function research. Paul said in an interview, “everything he’s been telling us from the very beginning has been a lie […] We’ve documented that it’s a lie, and it’s a felony to lie to Congress.”
While the walls appear to be closing in on Fauci, he may actually be more of a fall guy than the mastermind of the US biosecurity industry.
Kadlec is interesting figure in this regard. The Australian article is his first ever public interview, and, given his past, it’s easy to argue that nothing he says should be taken at face value.
RFK Jr’s The Real Anthony Fauci has a lot to say about Kadlec. Here are a few facts and opinions from the book:
Kennedy describes Kadlec as “a Dr. Strangelove knockoff with deep ties to spy agencies, Big Pharma, the Pentagon, and military contractors who profiteer from the spread of bioweapons alarmism”
Kadlec was part of a group of UN weapons inspectors who searched for (fictional) Iraqi WMDs which were used to justify US military intervention
Kadlec Served in George W. Bush administration as Special Assistant for Biodefense Planning, working closely with neocon warhawks Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz
Journalist Whitney Webb said Kadlec is “enmeshed in the world of intelligence, military intelligence and corporate corruption, dutifully fulfilling the vision of his friends in high places and behind closed doors”
Journalist Alexis Baden-Mayer observed, “Kadlec created the biodefense industrial complex as we know it. And he rules it like a czar.”
Since 2001, Kadlec has designed several nightmarish bioterrorism simulation calleds “Corn Terrorism”, “Lousy Wine”, and “Dark Winter”; in the simulations, government “war-gamed how to use police powers to detain and quarantine citizens, how to impose martial law, how to control messaging by deploying propaganda, how to employ censorship to silence dissent, and how to mandate masks, lockdowns, and coercive vaccinations and conduct track-and-trace surveillance among potentially reluctant populations”
Kadlec began recommending federally mandated vaccinations and quarantines as early as April 2001 as a response to his own bioterror war-game scenarios
Up until now, Fauci has been mostly untouchable by American media and the Biden Administration.
It’s worth considering the possibility that Kadlec chose to throw Fauci under the bus to protect his own name as a form of limited hangout, with Fauci as the sacrificial lamb to distract from the larger story of US bioweapon programs.
So far, American media has mostly ignored Kadlec’s claims. It’s not clear what, if anything, would cause them to begin reporting negatively on Fauci.
From the jump, nothing has been straightforward about the pandemic’s origins. Decoding the narrative requires healthy skepticism, a discerning eye, and willingness to speculate in the absence of the full story.
The pandemic may be over, but the story of its beginning is still unraveling. Stay tuned.
UFO Hearing
Thursday, Congress held hearing to investigate claims of UFO whistleblowers.
The hearing’s mic-drop moment came when congresswoman Nancy Mace asked whistleblower David Grusch about the military’s knowledge of aliens.
Under oath, Grusch said “non-human biologics” were recovered from UFO crash sites.
Another whistleblower, David Graves, told Congress that UFO sightings “are not rare or isolated. They are routine.”
The hearing kicked off yet another lively online debate about UFOs, aliens, and the government suspicious methods of disclosure.
On 𝕏, participants clustered into three rough groups.
1) Wow aliens are real
2) The congressional hearing is a psychological operation to distract from other more important news stories like political corruption
3) Aliens are real, but the congressional hearing is still a psyop and does not represent authentic disclosure
Of particular interest were CIA documents circulating on 𝕏 from the 50s about the agency’s plan to use UFOs to distract the media from its attempt to overthrow the Guatemalan government
It’s tough to say what the purpose of the hearing was, but it’s undeniable that it was historical in nature.
Someone, or something, is deciding to push the public conversation about extraterrestrials forward now after years of inaction and (in retrospect) gaslighting of UFO whistleblowers.
Whether they’re real or not, it appears likely aliens will be with us, at least in the news and halls of Congress, for the foreseeable future.
Trump’s Indictment Hat Trick
Donald Trump has been indicted for the third time this year.
Yesterday afternoon, special prosecutor Jack Smith announced four charges against the former President related to the events of January 6th: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to deprive people of civil rights, and two counts of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
Importantly, Trump was not charged with Insurrection or Seditious Conspiracy. Being found guilty of either would disqualify him from being President.
By this point, it is not surprising that the Trump indictment inspired dismay among his supporters, who questioned the timing of the charges and political motivations of the people behind it.
The Trump Campaign released a statement accusing the Department of Justice and Biden Administration of election interference.
Trump is set to be arraigned tomorrow.
Dogey Treats: News Bites
𝕏
𝕏 announced a legal complaint again the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). In a post, 𝕏’s official account accused the group of “actively working to assert false and misleading claims about X and actively working to prevent public dialogue.” Officially, CCHD is a UK charity, but the complaint calls it an activist organization “masquerading as a research agency.” Media outlets have frequently relied on the group’s reports to claim that hate speech is rising on 𝕏, an accusation which 𝕏 disputes. In a post, Elon said of the CCHD, “Their actual goals have nothing to do with hate speech and everything to do with censorship of public dialogue.” He said he looked forward to putting the group’s donors under deposition. RFK Jr wrote that the CCHD is “a foreign-funded dark money hate group that works with U.S. government agencies to defame and censor critics of the corrupt collusion between Big Pharma and its captive regulators.” In another post, he said he’s “happy to join @elonmusk in a libel lawsuit suit against this sketchy outfit.”
Ye was reinstated to X.
US Politics
Kentucky Representative James Cover said banks submitted 170 suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department regarding the Biden family, alleging their involvement in money laundering, human trafficking, and tax fraud. Hunter Biden’s plea deal for tax evasion fell apart on Wednesday after a judge questioned why it protected Biden from future prosecution. On Monday, Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer testified to Congress that Joe Biden had close knowledge of his son’s business dealings, contradicting the President’s earlier statements.
Dustin Moskovitz, who co-founded Facebook, is behind a campaign to “BAN RFK” from the Democratic primary ballot. RFK hit back at Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for accusing him of anti-Semitism, and criticized the Biden Administration for refusing to release the government’s JFK assassination files. In a podcast with Matt Hoffa, he addressed the topic of Satanism among political elites.
The DOJ dropped a campaign finance charge against Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF contributed over $5M to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. Here is a list of all the political organizations he donated to. Bankman’s former crypto exchange FTX confirmed that it plans to relaunch. Rumors circulated on 𝕏 that Bankman was behind a recent scam token.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Ice Cube said race is overemphasized in American life: “Race — it takes up too much space. I think a lot of people make a lot of money off of the races fighting against each other and bickering, and they are the ones who push it in our face all the time."
Congressman Jim Jordan released documents on X called the “Facebook Files” that showed the White House pressuring Meta to censor posts which contradicted the government’s official pandemic narrative.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell froze in the middle of a speech and was escorted from this podium. The moment went viral on X and led to a discussion about instituting term limits for politicians. Elon weighed in by liking a PBD post about forced retirement, calling for a constitutional amendment, and suggesting a cognitive test should be required to hold public office.
Trump announced a plan to end gender-affirming care in all fifty states: “On day one, I will sign an executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on children […] I will keep men out of women's sports… and I will sign a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation.”
Senate Democrats voted down an amendment to provide oversight to US aid to Ukraine.
Elon wrote, “Unless there are a few issues where you at least slightly disagree with your political party, then you are not in a political party, you are in a cult”
Global Financial System
Fitch downgraded the US’s long-term foreign currency debt rating, indicating lost confidence in its fiscal management. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called the decision “arbitrary” and “outdated.” PacWest, California’s third-largest regional bank, failed and was acquired by Bank of California. Regional Bank Heartland Tri-State was closed by regulators.
A coalition of African nations including Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso threatened to go to war against the US-backed African Union and ECOWAS over western Neo-colonialism. The point of contention is Niger’s President, who was recently removed for corruption. The US-led bloc is attempting to reinstate the President against the will of Niger’s military. Burkina Faso’s president Ibrahim Traoré said, “Africa's time of slavery to Western regimes is over, and the battle for full independence has begun ... either homeland or death.” Traoré recently took strong measures against France and was greeted by enthusiastic crowds after returning from a summit meeting with Russia, which he called “family for Africa.”
Vladimir Putin announced Russia would give 25,000-50,000 tons of free grain to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, Central African Republic, and Eritrea.
Jack Dorsey tweeted a map of the world turned upside down.
Vivek Ramaswamy vowed to reduce headcount at the US Federal Reserve by 90% if he is elected President.
Last week, Joe Budden TV reported that Michael Jordan sold his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets to cover losses from shorting GameStop.
Health
Dr. Paul Marek released a twelve-part protocol of metabolic interventions to control cancer.
A Chinese bio lab was shut down in California by the CDC. Authorities found more than 20 “infectious agents” including coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes, as well as 1000s of vials of unlabeled fluids of suspected biological material.
YouTube took down an interview between James O’Keefe and RFK Jr for violating its “medical misinformation” policy. The video is still up on X.
Chase Bank shut down the business and personal accounts of alternative health writer Joseph Mercola and his team.
Pfizer’s Q2 revenues were down 54% from last year. A clip circulated on 𝕏 of Moderna CEO from 2019 predicting a pandemic. The CDC will reportedly recommend yearly Covid shots. A peer-reviewed study found that 1 in 35 people who received Moderna’s Covid vaccine had heart damage.
Dr. Vinay Prasad said, “The FDA is like Pfizer's lap dog. It's a little puppy dog that does whatever Pfizer says. It's enriching Pfizer and screwing the American people...There is no credible data that ever supported the booster that I was compelled by my employer to get at the risk of being fired.”
A peer-reviewed study found “statistically significant positive correlations between mortality rates of developed nations and the number of early childhood vaccine doses that are routinely given.”
The CDC warned that the tick-born illness alpha-gal, which causes red meat allergy, is an emerging health concern.
An investigation found that both the NIH and Pfizer are bankrolling “gender-affirming care” research and propaganda.
New research linked Autism to the microbiome. The research was seen as a positive development: “The good news is the autoimmune disease can be treated, just like Crohn’s is treatable … if the doctor is able to make the right diagnosis.”
