The documentary I'm putting together is VERY long, + is really more like a freshman-level university course on scientific controversies. First of its kind. Will include curated reading materials, short videos, thought-provoking conversations + some relevant comedy.
From 2018:

The “climate crisis” is the biggest scam in scientific history. There's not one shred of empirical evidence that we are facing a crisis because the planet is slightly warmer than it was during the depths of the Little Ice Age.
When I became @UN Secretary-General, climate change was already an enormous threat.
Today, its impacts are all around us.
And those who did the least to cause the climate crisis are paying the highest price.
We need climate justice. Now.

Too many scientists (and even mathematicians) forgo their obligation to audit the foundations of their own field, instead judging the strength of the foundation by the size of the house built on top of it.

Virology is a pseudoscience.
The supposed "spike protein" is just an artifact of adding a protein-cleaving enzyme to a petri dish containing monkey kidney cell breakdown products. The enzyme ruffles up the protein coat on the round debris, creating the famous spiky shape.

Everyone calling seed oil sceptics a cult is defending a cooking oil that has to be deodorised before anyone will eat it.
You're defending something humans managed two million years without, until a soap company put it in the kitchen in 1911.
Something that can't leave the seed without a petrol solvent, or look like food without bleach.
Something that leaves the refinery carrying trans fat and a carcinogen Europe now caps in baby formula.
Something that has more than doubled in our diet, and more than doubled in our body fat.
Over the same century, the heart attack went from a medical curiosity to the world's biggest killer.
Since 1990 alone, diabetes has quadrupled and obesity has doubled.
And a liver disease nobody had even named in 1980 now turns up in a third of adults.
You're defending the raw material for the body's own cannabis, the munchies chemical, in the middle of an obesity crisis.
A fat that breaks down inside your fat cells into an aldehyde that stops them listening to insulin.
A fat whose breakdown products climb as the liver gets worse.
A fat that goes rancid inside cholesterol particles until the artery wall turns them into plaque.
A fat that stays in your body for two years, so you're still paying for it long after the receipt's gone.
You're defending an oil that lowered cholesterol in trials and saved nobody.
An oil that was given to heart attack survivors in place of animal fat, and killed more of them than leaving them alone did.
An oil whose biggest trial, 9,000 people swapping butter for corn oil, was hidden in a basement for forty years.
And you're doing it all on the word of a heart charity built on the soap company's money.
But sure, we're the cult.

I’ve been a university professor for 15 years, political economy, Duke University, pro-capitalist, thus a minority, and can attest that for decades these schools have price-gouged & indoctrinated millions of students. They’ve destroyed instead of developed young human capital. Deliberately. So a majority of millions would rule and vote socialist. As is happening. Utterly grotesque.
WILD: University of Michigan students PROVE just how STUPID and BRAINWASHED they truly are when they were asked to define what socialism is, while a Fox poll shows nearly half of young Americans still view it favorably.
“Socialism doesn't mean like anti-capitalism. Based off what I learned in my Gov class, it's basically like spending more money on helping society.”
“Socialism to me is a concept in politics where everybody gets a little bit of everything. Everybody benefits and everybody is really taking care of kind of that social net that you see in other types of politics.”
“I think a lot of people get the economic system of Socialism confused with the government system of Communism.”
We are SCREWED if we do not change how the younger generations views capitalism.

🚨 THE CITY OF LONDON IS BUILDING AN ANTI-WALL STREET EMPIRE IN BRAZIL
Everyone talks about American influence over Brazil. The CIA. Washington. Wall Street.
But what if we’re overlooking another financial power operating in plain sight?
🇬🇧 THE CITY OF LONDON.
Here’s what makes this so fascinating:
🇧🇷🇬🇧 1. BRAZIL IS AN OFFICIAL TARGET
The City of London Corporation openly identified Brazil as a priority market for British financial services. Its ambitions include infrastructure financing, pension funds, asset management and capital markets.
🇧🇷🇬🇧 2. BRAZIL’S PENSION MONEY
London has actively courted Brazilian pension funds, bringing UK asset managers to handle international investments.
Think about the implications: Brazilian retirement savings generating fees and control for London’s financial institutions.
🇧🇷🇬🇧 3. LULA AND THE CITY OF LONDON
In 2024, Lula’s government announced plans to make London the primary listing centre for future Brazilian ESG sovereign bonds.
A $2 BILLION Brazilian sustainability bond had already been listed in London.
🇧🇷🇬🇧 4. THE REGULATORS ARE TALKING TOO
Brazilian financial regulators have held formal discussions with British authorities about capital markets, insurance and asset management.
This isn’t merely about trade. It’s about the rules governing international money.
For decades, America’s financial power has rested heavily on the dollar and Wall Street.
But London possesses its own enormous network of banks, investment managers, insurers and global capital markets.
The City Of London isn’t just a financial district. It’s a separate jurisdiction, with its own police and military system, effectively a country of its own at the center of London, controlled by an elite global network that no government fully oversees… and it runs global finance.
Foreign nations including Netherlands, France and Germany pulled out over 500 Tonnes of Gold OUT of the U.S. and storing it in London.
The famous City of London banker @LordBelgrave dropped the poster months before Lula’s surprise election win.
Brazil wasn’t an accident, it was already the City of London’s plan.

Murica #1 baby!
This account repeatedly misinforms the public about bacteriophages.
Here is another time they did the same thing:

BREAKING: Gates Foundation Funds First-Ever Creation of 16 Synthetic Viruses Using AI
For the first time ever, mad scientists used AI models to design entire viral genomes, physically manufacture them, and turn them into 16 new functional viruses capable of replicating.
Project leader Brian Hie, who conceived, designed, and supervised the research, disclosed funding from the Gates Foundation.
They used Evo 1 and Evo 2, genomic language models that essentially function like ChatGPT for DNA, predicting nucleotides instead of words and writing complete viral genetic blueprints.
Bioterrorists no longer need to imagine a future in which AI can design pathogens from genetic code... the foundational capability has now been revealed in a major scientific journal.
AI viral genome design technology should be halted before it falls into the hands of bioterrorists or other criminal actors.
People are struggling to connect the dots on why these uber-complex math proofs are a problem. If it helps, think in terms of cryptography or cryptocurrency, + you need to just be assuming that the intelligence community has backdoors into all of these frontier models.

Claude Code just found proof that every app on your phone is listening to your conversations. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. they're using what you say out loud to build your feed. i have the data to prove it.
i've suspected this for months but last week something happened that made me finally check.
i was on a call with my friend and told him i'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend. didn't text it. didn't search it. just said it out loud with my phone on the table. two hours later she opens TikTok next to me and her entire feed is breakups. "signs your relationship is over." "how to heal after a breakup." she looked at me and said "why is TikTok showing me this." i said i don't know. but i did know.
i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and ran Claude Code that same night.
it scanned every app's background microphone activity for the last 90 days. not just the apps that asked for microphone permission. apps that were supposed to only have access to photos or location but were activating the microphone anyway.
what it found:
→ TikTok activated the microphone 347 times while the app was "closed" in the background
→ Instagram → 211 background activations
→ Facebook → 189
→ Snapchat → 94
every activation lasted between 3 and 15 seconds. enough to catch a sentence. every one of them tagged a keyword and cached it locally on the phone with a timestamp.
Claude Code pulled the full keyword cache:
→ "breakup" — tagged 4 hours before her feed changed
→ "moving out" — from a conversation with my mom last Tuesday
→ "wedding venue" — from a call with my sister about her engagement that i never searched once
→ "protein powder" — said it out loud to my roommate, had ads for it within an hour
→ "flight to tokyo" — mentioned it at dinner, saw travel ads the same night
those keywords were sitting in a local cache on my phone organized by app with timestamps. TikTok had the most entries. Instagram was second. every single keyword matched a conversation i had out loud near my phone.
the scariest one was "wedding venue." my sister told me she's getting engaged on a private call. i never searched it. never typed it. within a day my explore page had engagement rings and venue tours.
then Claude Code checked a second phone in the same room. my girlfriend's. same keywords. same timestamps. both phones were picking up the same conversation and tagging it independently.
i asked Claude Code how to shut it down. it mapped every app's microphone access and built a permission audit.
what i did:
→ revoked microphone access from every app that doesn't need it to function
→ disabled background app refresh for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat
→ turned off "Hey Siri" which keeps the microphone in passive listening mode 24/7
→ revoked "nearby interaction" permission which uses ultrasonic audio between devices
Claude Code confirmed all four apps lost background microphone access after the changes. i checked her phone too. same steps. took about 3 minutes per phone.
within 48 hours both our feeds went completely random. generic content. nothing personal. nothing from our conversations. that's when i knew for sure it was real.
the full step by step and the prompt are in the first reply. takes 3 minutes. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone who's ever said "my phone is definitely listening to me." it is. now you can prove it and shut it down.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

China runs a company called JSHP which makes transformers that America has been buying.
Around 2019, President Trump confiscated one of them and what they found was shocking.
The CCP had the ability to remotely shut down or possibly melt down these high voltage transformers.
Trump signed an Executive Order to stop purchasing these transformers from China.
Joe Biden reversed that Executive Order on his first day in office.
In 2019 when Trump signed the Executive Order there were around 365 of these transformers being used in our grid.
As of June 2026 there are now 815 of them that we know of that hooked to our grid.
Regardless of someone’s political views, surely to goodness we can all agree that we shouldn’t be buying critical infrastructure from ANY other country, but especially not from China.

Seriously? Now they want dental hygienists sticking HPV vaccines into 9-year-olds during a teeth cleaning?
West Virginia is pushing a proposal to let dentists and hygienists inject kids with the HPV shot while they’re already in the chair. Because apparently a routine dental visit isn’t enough — they need to turn it into a drive-by jab.
Parents get told it’s “more accessible.” What they don’t get is real answers, proper informed consent, or time to ask why a vaccine for a sexually transmitted virus is being pushed on preteens in a dental office.
Children deserve age-appropriate explanations. Parents deserve transparency. And expanding who can inject them should come with more than a training certificate and a sales pitch.

As he says, there was no real reason. It was simply decided by the Khazars (Rothschilds) to get revenge on Russia for things that happened centuries earlier.
