Columbia University economics professor Jeffrey Sachs is now saying he is “99% sure” that the University of North Carolina (UNC) conducted extensive gain of function research beginning in 2015 and that this research led to the development of COVID-19.
Sachs says he is concerned about unregulated research and the lack of global governance for handling dangerous pathogens.
This systemic issue underscores the plausibility of an accidental release from a U.S. lab like UNC.
Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger discuss the compelling evidence supporting the conclusion that COVID came from Ralph Baric’s research at UNC.
Lakota Law's Tokata Iron Eyes talks about the importance of protecting Pe' Sla — a site in the Black Hills in South Dakota of great spiritual significance for the Lakota People — from mining.
The tech company, founded by Peter Thiel, claims they can revolutionize government systems with their AI-powered software.
They’ve been hired by the Department of Defense, the FBI, ICE, and even Wendy’s. Now DOGE will likely hire Palantir as well.
We talked to a former Palantir employee, dug into decades of research and listened to hours of Palantir CEO Alex Karp's own words to carefully unwrap the layers of Palantir’s carefully cultivated sales pitch — and how they capitalize on fear and unrest to make money.
IDF reserves increasingly refusing to go into battle. Draft resistance in Israel.
A battle inside Israel is looming as the nation's many moral and legal contradictions are coming home to roost.
Netanyahu knows his days are numbered.
Is the west abandoning Netanyahu knowing that to keep him in power any longer will only serve to drive international public opinion further against Israel (and its backers) - if that is even possible?
The west will cut their loses with Israel and attempt to rehab its own image as the US-NATO juggernaut is busily in planning mode for the next war using Taiwan as the victim.
They say the West stands for democracy. For freedom of speech. For human rights.
But if you look closely, the truth starts to crack through the surface. Because the West doesn’t actually hate corruption. It doesn’t hate dictatorships. And it certainly doesn’t mind when human rights are crushed—as long as the regime in question stays loyal.
But the moment a smaller nation—especially one they’ve looked down on—dares to align itself with someone the West calls an enemy, everything changes. That’s when the outrage begins. Sanctions are prepared. Headlines are written. Leaders are suddenly labeled as threats. It’s not about values—it’s about control.
And now, a new chapter is unfolding.
This time, the defiance isn’t coming from the Sahel. It’s not Traoré or Assimi Goïta. This time, it’s Namibia. A quiet, stable African country that’s just made a move the West didn’t expect.
Namibia’s president has decided to deepen diplomatic ties with North Korea—yes, that North Korea. The one the West calls a dictatorship, a pariah, a rogue nation. And just like clockwork, the power players in the West are furious.The question now is simple—but dangerous: Will they sanction Namibia?
And perhaps more importantly…
Does the Namibian president even care? What happens next could shake the balance between Africa and the powers that have tried to control it for decades.
Since taking office, Namibia’s new president has done more than just govern—she’s shaken the status quo.
Her name? Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. And like Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, she’s not here to play by old rules. She’s made one thing clear: Her loyalty is to her people—not to foreign powers.
From Luminant Media and director Brian Knappenberger, Turning Point: The Vietnam War offers an unfiltered look at one of the most defining and divisive conflicts in modern history and the profound, lasting impact it has had on America’s global identity and on the lives of countless people.
Following in the footsteps of Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War and Turning Point: 9/11 and the War On Terror, this five episode docuseries showcases a war that was more than just a military failure; it was a political and cultural reckoning that reshaped America, exposed deep divisions at home and shattered trust in the government.
With unprecedented access to CBS News archives, rare Vietnamese footage, declassified government records and previously unearthed White House recordings, the series spans nearly two decades and three different presidential administrations, amplifying often overlooked perspectives.
As both America and Vietnam mark the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, Turning Point: The Vietnam War offers a timely exploration of how the war’s unresolved wounds, unlearned lessons, and enduring consequences continue to shape the world today.
A now-viral video clip is lighting up the internet showing French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German CDU leader Friedrich Merz sitting casually post-meeting… when a mysterious bag of white powder appears on the table.
😳💼
The footage — allegedly taken on their return trip from Kyiv after a high-level diplomatic visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — shows:
A small bag of white powder on the table
Macron subtly pocketing the bag once he notices the camera
Merz tucking away a spoon with suspicious calm
👀 Starmer looking awkwardly at the camera, but remaining silent
🚫 No official explanation, statement, or clarification from any of the leaders' offices
🇺🇦 This took place just after a closed-door session with Zelensky, who has previously gone viral in tabloid rumors over his alleged enthusiasm for cocaine
Were they just waiting for Hunter Biden to join them?
Russian Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova regarding the "cocaine" video of Macron, Starmer and Merz:
"In the video: the President of France, the Prime Minister of Britain, and the Chancellor of Germany.
Having pushed Zelensky into yet another hellish intrigue to sabotage a settlement and continue the bloodshed in Europe, like in the joke, the Frenchman, the Englishman, and the German got on a train and... took a hit.
Apparently, they did it so thoroughly that they forgot to hide their paraphernalia [a little baggie and a spoon] before the journalists arrived.
The fate of Europe is being decided by dependent and temporary figures—in every sense of the word.
Incredible footage. It's as if the Almighty Himself is pulling back the curtain on this foul gathering, so that 'those with eyes may see'.
In 2022, I asked a Western ambassador: 'How can you supply weapons to the unbalanced drug addict Zelensky? He’s been on cocaine for years!'
And I got the reply: 'For the EU, that’s normal — many Western leaders use.'"
Last week there were rather large protests in the capital Taipei against the ruling TPP party and President William Lai.
This news got surprisingly little coverage in western media, which usually is so keen on showing all kinds of “people’s power” movements when they occur against governments the west doesn’t like.
But this time, rather a wave of silence.
To discuss this and more, hear from Dr. Joanna Lei, a Taiwanese business woman, media executive and former law maker for the Kuomintang Party in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
The US-NATO wishes to use Taiwan as the hammer against China - just like how Ukraine is the hammer being used against Russia.
Maybe the people in Taiwan have figured out they are being used in this deadly western game.
