Mon 20 Sep: Med Evil - Mask Daze - Death Jab - Under Mat - Parents Rights - 26 States - Harvest Moon: The medical tyranny is intensifying as injustice builds. Needle evil has so many adherents. Masks, school prisons, teachers unions, forced jabs, social division, it all swirls in a bad stew. They seek to divide, and the scamdemic is a perfect tool. Project Veritas has another brave truth teller. Vax deaths hidden under the mat. The HIV factor will be news soon. How quickly the hospitals turned malicious. Even the FDA posts internal critics. Saved from wolves, eaten by shepherds. What? The Constitution doesn't specifically protect parents rights? A movement grows. The first goal is 26 states. Never forget that this fight is helping the boss. It's harvest moon and time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Fight hard, because our freedom is at stake. by The Tore Says Show

How to vaccinate yourself (and others) against misinformation: Bad information, and the things that make us vulnerable to it, can spread like a virus. It's everywhere and at this point even the most savvy news consumers need to be in the habit of checking things twice. And with the rise of Artificial Intelligence and deepfakes, the problem will only get worse. But we're not without weapons. Models show that misinformation spreads just like an illness, and research also shows that we can inoculate ourselves from the worst of it. And we can help our family and friends do the same. How do we do that? Just like real vaccination, it starts with a little bit of the virus itself, to help us learn what we're fighting...
