On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared “The probable cause of AIDS has been found.” By the next day, “probable” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as “the AIDS virus.” Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS.

There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations.

What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays—to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with "speaking truth to power"—a true champion of the underdog.

Ha visitato i bunker di lusso costruiti in Sud Dakota.

Niemand im deutschen Fernsehen ist so verspottet und beschimpft worden wie Markus Lanz. Spätestens nach dem Ende von 'Wetten, dass ..?' schien der Moderator erledigt, 'einer wie er dürfte eigentlich nie eine Talkshow moderieren', schrieb die Frankfurter Rundschau noch 2019. Wenige Jahre später hat Markus Lanz aus seiner Talkshow eine der wichtigsten politischen Bühne des Landes gemacht, ohne ihn wäre Karl Lauterbach wahrscheinlich nie Bundesgesundheitsminister geworden.
