🚨 JUST IN: Fraud Czar JD Vance just dropped a BOMBSHELL saying Nick Shirley has been 100% VINDICATED, $90M in fraud has been raided in Minnesota, and more is coming "In one of the most horrifying cases charged today, a recipient who needed 24-hour care was supposed to be receiving exactly that through a Minnesota Medicaid benefit program. But he received nothing...he was found dead." "One day before this man died, the fraudster in question had tried to bill for the non-existent services, the services that if they had been provided, this man might actually be with us today!" "I was shocked when I watched Nick shirley's bombshell investigation of migrant fraud in Minnesota, which called attention to the now infamous Quality Learing Center." "This morning, the ringleader of the $250 million Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme in Minnesota was sentenced in federal court to over 40 years in prison, bringing justice to the countless schoolchildren and families she had scammed. And on top of that, today, federal law enforcement launched a massive raid in Minneapolis!" "Across the city, agents have arrested 15 people for suspected fraud that amounted to $90 million." "In 2018, Minnesota tried to provide housing services for the homeless. They estimated that the cost of the program would be $2.5 million a year. By 2024, the program had exploded to $104 million annually, and almost all of that, almost all of it, was because of fraud." "As a result, the state had to shut down the program and can no longer provide those services to Americans in need!" "The victims in the cases announced by DOJ today also include disabled Americans who rely on community support to live full, independent lives." "If you're committing fraud, our task force will find you. We'll come after you, and we will not rest until justice is served. Don't defraud the American taxpayer."

Please help if you can. Young Cody Hudson (FL) has been hospitalized over 30 days from mid June to present and in March, he ALSO spent almost 30 days in another hospital- AND in between the March and June hospitalizations, when he was re-hospitalized- I could not care for him on my own, so his dad had to go on FMLA to help. Cody was so injured and ill that he needed a Medivac flight to his current Level 1 trauma center where he has now been hospitalized for over a month. Since 2021, Cody has endured multiple life or death- critical care events or Catastrophic blood clotting and cardiac or stroke events and he is only 26. Since June, our family has no income as dad has missed 90 days without pay on FMLA and is starting back in his position August 1st- but our family will go WITHOUT INCOME until the end of August (more than a month away) starting August 1st we will ALSO navigate a new medical insurance and a second set of annual insurance co-pays for this year as dad goes from one state contract to the new one. We are at the end of our rope financially with so much critical medical need and are put faith before fear as we rely on the decency and kindness of others to survive this uncharted territory as we care for Cody- We can’t do this alone, we need your help. Cody needs your help. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please watch my video as I have kept a vigil over my son in each hospitalization with his dad as we navigate these unsteady waters that our family faces and our son endures after Cody’s 2021 Civid-19 vaccine injury left him with a heart wrenching, aggressive, treatment resistant, terminal autoimmune blood clotting disorder.

SM Krishna: A personal tribute I woke up today to the news of the passing of Sri SM Krishna, one of the most progressive and visionary former Chief Minister of Karnataka. Though my personal interactions with him have been limited to a few interactions at public events, the loss seemed deeply personal. As I booked tickets to Bengaluru to pay my last respects to the great man, I realised how deeply I was inspired by him in a multitude of ways. Mr. Krishna was the CM of Karnataka when I was in school, when I was first forming my worldview of politics and public life. It was the days when I was contesting my school elections for Head Boy and was tasting action in democracy for the first time. Naturally, as CM, Krishna dominated the newspapers and TV channels and I would follow his interactions with great interest. Also, it was the time when Dr. Rajkumar was abducted by Veerappan and we would have school holidays declared regularly. Many school children of my age, we would watch news with curiosity to know if the CM would declare another holiday. In all those interviews, the CM’s poise, his weighted choice of words and his resoluteness impressed my young mind. This inspired me deeply and drew me to him. The more I followed him, as a young boy interested in politics, the more I wanted to model myself after him. Mr. Krishna was in many respects a leader ahead of his times. At a time when political leaders were deeply influenced by socialism to the point of opposing industrialisation and urbanisation, Krishna was a clear believer in free markets, industrialisation and the need for urbanisation to create mass level prosperity. It was under his leadership that Bengaluru emerged as the country’s IT capital, leveraging its unique educational and human resource capabilities. Most of the now big IT services firms of the country received immense policy support during Krishna’s time. Bengaluru also saw its infrastructure develop rapidly. From the metro to the flyovers to the ring roads to the work on the new airport - all received tremendous attention under SM Krishna. He clearly understood that cities are the engines of growth and prosperity and that they needed to be given the political and financial capital needed. Even to this day, unfortunately, many political leaders and parties do not understand this and continue to ignore our urban development needs. Perhaps, this distance from socialism also had a role in his sartorial choices. While it was expected that political leaders should dress in the modest Khadi and shun flamboyance in an attempt to resonate with the poor masses, Krishna was flamboyant, stylish and savvy. He dressed well, like how the leader of an aspiring global city should. I have never seen him dressed shabbily ever, even in photos from the hospital bed. There was something regal about his appearance. I have googled so many of his pictures to try and buy similar clothes, ties and pocket squares. He is undoubtedly the most stylish politician of Karnataka. Mr. Krishna’s term as CM was not a bed of roses. The abduction of Dr. Rajkumar was one of the most difficult challenges that faced him and the way he handled the issue tactically, coordinating with CM Jayalalitha and also initiating track two dialogues with the forest brigand, and finally ensuring the release of Rajkumar is a lesson for many in crisis management and diplomacy. Unfortunately, the state suffered continuous drought during his CM-ship and despite his best efforts, the farmers crisis across the state remained quite acute and even led to the eventual loss of the Congress Party in the elections. Despite these challenges, his leadership transformed Bengaluru and created tremendous wealth for people of Karnataka. If Karnataka is among the wealthiest states in the country and Bengaluru is the richest city in the country in terms of per capita income, Krishna’s role is significant. While SM Krishna will be remembered for his developmental role, his crisis handling skills and his contribution to modern Bengaluru, he will mostly be loved by Kannadigas for the decency and dignity with which he carried his public life - a value so rare in Indian politics. All his interviews, in both English and Kannada are a treat to watch for his command over the languages and the depth in which he addressed the subjects and importantly for the decency with which he addressed all, including his sharpest rivals. His dignified personal conduct won him many admirers across political divides - even traditional BJP voting families like mine were ardent supporters of Krishna. It was like homecoming when Krishna joined the BJP in 2019, inspired by PM Modi. An ardent connoisseur of arts, Mr. Krishna and his wife Prema were often spotted at the cultural and theatre circuit of Bengaluru. I have seen him and his wife at the Rama Seva Mandali Ramotsava music festival many times. He was in the mould of our Mysuru Maharajas who were not only great patrons of our classical arts, but were passionate connoisseurs themselves. A state’s cultural life gets enriched with such political leaders. Even a year ago, I met Mr. Krishna at a play where we both were guests and I got an opportunity to take his blessings. In many ways, SM Krishna deeply influenced me in my formative days as a young school boy aspiring to get into politics. From his dignified public conduct to his focus on industrialisation and urbanisation to his impeccable sartorial choices - his influence was immense. I was delighted when he joined the BJP just before the 2019 elections and even came to campaign for me. He was not in the best of health then, but despite that, he stood in the heat in the campaign vehicle for more than an hour and even indulged my selfie videos. His support meant a lot to me personally. As we bid farewell to him, those of us in public life must resolve to conduct our politics in his mould - dignified, accommodating, progressive and prosperity creating for our people. I appeal to CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar to institute an award in Sri SM Krishna’s name to honour those who make a significant contribution to the development of Bengaluru - it will not only inspire many to work for our city but also keep the memory of an inspired life alive. As a proud Kannadiga and a Bengaluru boy, I thank Sri SM Krishna for everything. Go well, Sir.

Today I sit down with Adam Blake (adamblake), Co-founder and CEO of Mavria. Adam spent a little more than a year leading the DOGE team inside the Department of Energy. He has been a private person for 15 years, and last week he broke his silence with a tweet that got over 2 million views. I have known Adam since 2004. I had just gotten to TCU, and the school paper named him Entrepreneur of the Year for the real estate he was buying around campus. One lunch with him at a Chipotle changed the trajectory of my life. He went on to build a commercial solar company that did around 2,000 projects across 17 states, then sold a software company to Vista Equity Partners. In early 2025 a friend called about DOGE. Within about a week he was on a plane to DC, and two weeks after that he was sitting in the West Wing with Elon Musk and the Secretary of Energy. The executive order that set a goal of three new nuclear reactors going critical by July 4th, 2026 put his team in charge of making it happen. Everyone thought it was impossible. It got done. Along the way he got death threats over an anonymous quote that the chairman of the NRC later denied under oath. Now he is building Mavria with two of the people who were in those rooms with him, backed by a $30M pre-seed from a single investor. His view is simple. AI is power, and America has to build a lot more of it. Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (01:18) Why He Decided to Speak Publicly Now (04:37) From Campus Real Estate to Brightergy to Zego (09:03) The Week That Took Him From Coronado to the West Wing (13:02) What DOGE Was Actually There to Do (19:52) Inside the DOGE Team, Working Under Elon (24:53) Why He Calls Washington the Hunger Games (28:08) The Tijuana Sewage Crisis Nobody Has Fixed (31:45) Three New Reactors by July 4, 2026 (35:02) Death Threats Over a Story That Was Never True (41:52) Why Fear Is Not a Strategy on AI (49:09) Why It Takes a Decade to Plug Into the Grid (55:30) Winning Back Public Trust on Data Centers (1:02:29) Spec Builds, Modular Factories, Smaller Data Centers (1:08:52) Why Big Tech Should Behave Like a Nation State (1:14:15) Inside Mavria, His New Infrastructure Company (1:19:45) Loving the Country More, Hating Politics More

Cody Hudson is a 2021 Florida C-19 vaccine-injured college student. His case is peer reviewed and published. After Rituxan/Rituximab treatment during his March hospitalization for two strokes and two blood clots in the heart, Cody experienced complete B-cell destruction to suppress the immune driver of his treatment-resistant blood clotting disorder antibodies. He still experiences strokes, DVT, pulmonary embolism, and microclotting even while fully anticoagulated. His T cells are now handling the heavy lifting for his immune system as we try to stabilize the disorder. Part of his story appears in this video describing the March 2026 hospitalization. We are working on a longer documentary that will cover what happened after that hospitalization on June 16, at home, when Cody experienced a massive flare of his insidious autoimmune blood clotting disorder, that suddenly brought on 30 to 40 pounds of localized lymphatic edema in both legs over three days! He then felt crushing chest pain, and we rushed him to the hospital. After a couple of hours at the hospital ER, he suffered a massive blood pressure drop and went into A-fib. During this ER visit- right in front of our eyes, he developed a large, severe microclotting wound over his left lower leg & foot that destroyed skin & tissue, creating a third-degree burn-like wound from below the knee down over the foot. To save his life, he required cardioversion twice—one chemical and one electrical. His heart ejection fraction was only 15%, and the situation was so severe that the hospital wanted to amputate his leg and move him to comfort care. His dad and I called our state surgeon general, who has followed Cody’s case closely. He and Senator Ron Johnson arranged a Medevac helicopter flight on Father’s Day to a level-one trauma center. We have been here with Cody for about a month. He was scheduled for skin grafting on the top of his foot after new skin failed to grow for 24 days, but surgery was delayed due to new bowel bleeding. He also developed myocarditis while on high-dose steroids. While awaiting surgery, his feet and lower legs began to show healing. I have been aggressively using silver gel products to treat the leg wound. At first I was reprimanded for not using hospital products, but then plastic surgery noted the new tissue growth. After seeing my comparison photos, they ordered silver sulfadiazine. Cody has been in this hospital about 30 days. About three weeks in, he developed pressure/bed sores and I used honey calcium alginate on the wounds, which closed completely within about eight hours. Quickly! Hospital “butt cream” and zinc products had not worked. I handle all Cody’s wound care, with the wound care team, dermatology, and ortho checking regularly. With his B cells destroyed by Rituxan, we must stay hyper-vigilant against infection. These large wounds can easily become infected, boggy, or necrotic. Infection is my biggest concern. Please continue praying with us that Cody avoids infection. His bowel is still bleeding, so the skin graft surgery is on hold, but we hope he can avoid it. Cody is tough as nails—in severe pain but fighting hard through this latest flare. He can’t fight this alone and we can’t fight this alone! We love you all for caring, checking in on Cody’s case, supporting our family, and helping his dad and me stay at his side. I feel desperately sorry for any family member stuck in the hospital who doesn’t get to stay with their loved one. I know that if Cody didn’t have us vigilantly watching over him and ensuring his legs receive the best possible products and care, he would have lost his leg by now. For him, amputation is a life-or-death situation, especially with a blood clotting disorder that does not respond to blood thinners. So we really, really need those prayers! To all those who follow his case, pray, support, send notes of encouragement, donate, and repost—we are so grateful for your prayers and support. 🫶🙏

WATCH: Perfectly healthy 17-year-old Sean Hartman was found dead beside his bed 33 days after receiving his Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Canadian Independent sat down with Sean Hartman's dad, Dan Hartman, for his first-ever in-person interview to hear his son's tragic story. Sean's story has garnered international attention and resulted in a lawsuit being filed against Pfizer and the Canadian government. Sean was a normal, typical, perfectly healthy 17-year-old from a quaint little town in Beeton, Ontario. He was deeply passionate about playing hockey, spending countless hours on the ice honing his skills and dreaming of a bright future. With his whole life ahead of him, filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, Sean's sudden and tragic passing has left his dad with many unanswered questions. As the 2021 fall hockey season approached, Sean found himself facing a mandatory vaccination requirement from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association to participate in the sport. On August 25, 2021, Sean received his first and only dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. Four days later after Sean's first Pfizer shot his dad says he developed “brown circles around his eyes, a rash, vomiting, an extremely sore shoulder, opposite to his injection shoulder” and was taken to the emergency department. According to Dan the doctor at the emergency department did not do any blood work, a D-dimer or troponin test and says his son was just given a pain reliever for his shoulder and sent home. Thirty-three days after Sean's first Pfizer shot, he was found dead on the floor beside his bed. An autopsy was performed, and the pathologist determined that Sean’s cause of death was "unascertained," meaning an inability to determine a specific cause. Dan eventually filed a claim with Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), introduced as Canada's first-ever vaccine injury program in 2021, but the claim was denied within a month due to insufficient evidence. Following the VISP denial, Dan sought a second opinion from U.S. pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, who determined that Sean’s cause of death was from spike protein from the Covid-19 vaccine in his adrenal glands. Dan has since filed an appeal with the Vaccine Injury Support Program providing them with the pathology report from Dr. Cole. The VISP has yet to respond to the appeal. Dan then started a GiveSendGo fundraising campaign, hired a lawyer and filed two separate lawsuits one against Pfizer and another against the Attorney General of Canada, the Department of Health Canada and former Minister of Health Patty Hajdu suing them for millions of dollars in damages for malfeasance in public office, deceit fraud, negligence, and more. Recently, the Canadian government made Dan an offer, which he describes as "a bullshit offer," and he has declined it. The government's offer to Dan was that if he withdrew his case against them immediately, they wouldn't pursue any legal or court-related fees against him going forward. Dan insists that he is fully committed and not backing down; he wants his day in court and is determined to pursue it relentlessly until that day arrives. A top cardiologist, Dr. Peter McCullough from the United States, has been secured and has agreed to fly to Canada to testify in court on behalf of Dan. Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist with degrees from Baylor University, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, University of Michigan, and Southern Methodist University. The Canadian Independent will continue to monitor this story and bring any new developments as they come.

WATCH: Perfectly healthy 17-year-old Sean Hartman was found dead beside his bed 33 days after receiving his Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The Canadian Independent sat down with Sean Hartman's dad, Dan Hartman, for his first-ever in-person interview to hear his son's tragic story. Sean's story has garnered international attention and resulted in a lawsuit being filed against Pfizer and the Canadian government. Sean was a normal, typical, perfectly healthy 17-year-old from a quaint little town in Beeton, Ontario. He was deeply passionate about playing hockey, spending countless hours on the ice honing his skills and dreaming of a bright future. With his whole life ahead of him, filled with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, Sean's sudden and tragic passing has left his dad with many unanswered questions. As the 2021 fall hockey season approached, Sean found himself facing a mandatory vaccination requirement from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association to participate in the sport. On August 25, 2021, Sean received his first and only dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. Four days later after Sean's first Pfizer shot his dad says he developed “brown circles around his eyes, a rash, vomiting, an extremely sore shoulder, opposite to his injection shoulder” and was taken to the emergency department. According to Dan the doctor at the emergency department did not do any blood work, a D-dimer or troponin test and says his son was just given a pain reliever for his shoulder and sent home. Thirty-three days after Sean's first Pfizer shot, he was found dead on the floor beside his bed. An autopsy was performed, and the pathologist determined that Sean’s cause of death was "unascertained," meaning an inability to determine a specific cause.

1,951 Days and counting: How one vaccine-injured father of seven was abandoned by Health Canada Kevin Street was a top-two wireless salesman, competing with over 400 stores, when he took a shot that changed his life forever. As a father of seven, Street worked 14-hour days without complaint and now, it’s been 1,951 days and counting that he'll never get back. "I felt it go through my body," Street recalls of the moment the COVID-19 injection went in his arm. Within hours, the shakes started. Within weeks, he was soaking through his clothes daily, collapsing on his own back deck while his wife stood over him, certain he was joking, until she realized he wasn't. What followed reads less like a medical file and more like a slow-motion nightmare: full-body tremors lasting up to two and a half years, 13 brain lesions, blood clots, a leg swollen with bruising doctors initially mistook for deep vein thrombosis. According to Street, neurologists called his case "fascinating" — as if he were a specimen rather than a patient. But the injury is only half of his story. The other half is what happened when Street turned to the system meant to help him. For four weeks, emergency room staff tested him for methamphetamines and opioids instead of investigating what was actually happening to his body. It was his wife who ultimately saved his life, driving him to a larger hospital where he found a ward full of patients who looked eerily like him. It was only after years of waiting that Street finally landed a spot in Canada's top disability program, KITE, which admits it cannot fix him, only attempt to ease his suffering. He says that access to most medical services comes through technicalities. A diabetes diagnosis, for instance, unlocks the door to treatment, although not for his actual condition. Even the treatment he did qualify for has become its own quiet cruelty — promised, delayed, and rescheduled again just last week, more than two years after he was first told help was on the way. Then there's the Vaccine Injury Support Program that was recently rebranded, restructured, and lost Street's file entirely. He remains in limbo, told he's still six to twelve months from a decision. When Street finally appealed to his own member of Parliament, the reply he received should alarm every Canadian: the sentiment was that escalating his case would simply mean someone else in the same broken system would wait longer. "We're left here, and we're afraid," Street says. This is what happens when informed consent is skipped, when institutions stall instead of listen, and when a healthy, hard-working Canadian father becomes invisible to the very government that promised “fair access to support” if something went wrong. Five years on, Kevin Street is still waiting to be believed and receive that support. REPORT by Tamara Ugolini 🇨🇦:

(Ready to piss off some demons!) Don’t get mad at me - But you need to hear this from someone. Yeah, this one hits hard and goes deep. The Great Deceiving Spirit was given authority over the Princes of all The earth because of his success with King Ahab. Remember- Satan (Lucifer, Light Bringer, whatever you want to call him) has full dominion over this earth. If not- he would have had no authority to give Jesus dominion over all the Kingdoms. (Just to show it’s a Satan thing) So The Great Deceiving spirit was given command over the Kingdoms, and that was before Christ. The tradition has never expired. And America is not spared from that list. DC is the new Rome, Sodom and Gamora is NYC, and America is Babylon. All of DC is set up to worship Baal. The Masons built this nation for Satan. Research please. Enjoy the video. References below to chew on regarding my statements. 1 Kings 22:19–23 — the throne room scene: • ⁠“I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left. And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’ One suggested this, and another that. Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ the LORD asked. ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said. ‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So now the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you.” 2 Chronicles 18:18–22 — the parallel account, same vision, same deceiving spirit. Daniel 10:13, 20–21 — the princes of the kingdoms: • ⁠“But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia.” • ⁠“Soon I will return to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I go, the prince of Greece will come; but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince.” Daniel 12:1 — “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise.” Revelation 12:7–9 — the war in heaven: • ⁠“Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” Revelation 13:2 — the transfer of authority: “The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.” Ephesians 6:12 — the operating system: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Deuteronomy 32:8 — the original charter, with the footnote the NIV buries: “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.” Footnote: “Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls (see also Septuagint) sons of God.” The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint both read “sons of God” — the Masoretic text swapped it for “sons of Israel” because the original was too dangerous to keep. Psalm 82 — the sentencing: • ⁠“God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the ‘gods’… ‘I said, “You are ‘gods’; you are all sons of the Most High.” But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.’” Daniel 4:17 — “The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.” See 🧵 for all references

As a resident of Donbas, I was asked to tell about the beginning of war in Donbas in 2014. But this is a long story. So I'll do it in a few threads over the next few days. I realized that before I talk about the beginning of the war in Donbas, I need to talk a little about the period before the war. In particular, about Yanukovych's term (because during his term, Russia started taking over Ukraine) and about the Revolution of Dignity. After all, for those who do not know this period, the following story may be incomplete. In addition, Russian propaganda also pays attention to this topic. I have repeatedly seen how Russian propaganda, through its Western servants, distributed the map of the presidential elections in 2010, in which Ukraine is divided in half. At the same time, they claim that this is a map of the pro-Russian population and that these regions should be given to Russia. Yanukovych focused more on economic issues and his program was populist. He spoke "for everything good and against everything bad." And the majority in his program could find something of their own and interpret it in their own way. As for the Ukrainian language, his program stated that it remains the only state language. And the Russian language and other languages ​​have the right to exist in Ukraine. That is, he repeated what was stated in the constitution and how it worked before and after his tenure. Yanukovych's pre-election program was not pro-Russian, he spoke Ukrainian and never advocated joining Russia before the election Yanukovych positioned himself as a politician who is friendly to Russia but who will cooperate closely with Europe. That is, he showed some neutrality between East and West and his neutral path. Like once President Kuchma. And the majority of Ukrainians (until 2014) supported it. The majority of Ukrainians did not support the idea of ​​joining NATO. After all, when we gave up nuclear weapons, the USA, Britain, Russia and other countries guaranteed our sovereignty and territorial integrity. As history has shown, these hopes were in vain and Russia violated the agreements. But some Ukrainians remembered well the history of the extermination of Ukrainians by the Russians and were worried about Russia's attack on Georgia in 2008, which showed that Russia has not changed and will repeat its fascist-imperialist path. They turned out to be right. The share of these Ukrainians, in my subjective opinion, was 20%-30%, including me. It should be noted that these are people who did not want a war with Russia and did not plan it. But based on historical and modern realities, it was suspected that Russia would try to seize Ukraine or part of it in one way or another. And when Yanukovych finally canceled the European integration processes in November, people took to the streets both those who were against the cancellation of this process and those who feared that Russia, through Yanukovych, had started the process of absorbing Ukraine. There was another group of people who opposed the government because of great corruption and the transformation of the state into a totalitarian one. Or those that came out due to a combination of these factors. However, the final factor that pushed the protests into the Revolution of Dignity was the beating of protesters in the center of Kyiv. Then a peaceful and legal rally, which at the time consisted mainly of young people, was surrounded and then beaten by the police. The police beat people lying down. They even beat journalists. Then on December 1, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians came out in response to this brutality, the beginning of the establishment of a dictatorship and the suppression of people's rights. From that time, people did not leave the central square of Kyiv until Yanukovych fled to Russia. The first video shows the beating of protesters in the center of Kyiv. The second video is the start of the Revolution of Dignity in response to this.

🚨 Weigh in 19 🚨 Before #FrankWalks, Frank had not been under 350 pounds in over 20 years and was 500+ pounds in 2016. Here is his monthly progress since we started walking (583 days in a row): Before FrankWalks : 383 pounds Weigh in 1: 373 pounds Weigh in 2: 352 pounds Weigh in 3: 343 pounds Weigh in 4: 340 pounds Weigh in 5: 339 pounds Weigh in 6: 333.8 pounds Weigh in 7: 331 pounds Weigh in 8: 323.8 pounds Weigh in 9: 319.8 pounds Weigh in 10: 324 pounds Weigh in 11: 330 pounds Weigh in 12: 327.8 pounds Weigh in 13: 318.5 pounds Weigh in 14: 321.8 pounds Weigh in 15: 326 pounds Weigh in 16: 314 pounds Weigh in 17: 316 pounds Weigh in 18: 312.5 pounds Here are the results from weigh in 19: ◦315 pounds. Frank has lost 68 pounds since we started walking. ◦Blood sugar: A1C is ~6% down from 10% (years of life expectancy 📈) ◦Diet: Diet remains the biggest challenge and THE blocker of the final breakthrough. After 45+ years of eating junk food, overhauling an entire diet sustainably takes a lot of patience and persistence No excuses, this wasn’t our best month. We need to lock in on diet. Frank is disappointed but knows he screwed up on diet this month and is owning it. Mikey and I are working hard on a plan. I do my best to remind Frank that if we zoom out, his progress is extraordinary and he continues to improve muscle growth, stamina, and overall athleticism everyday. And add YEARS to his life. Most people who lose a lot of weight struggle to keep it off. This is his 3rd lowest weigh in of 19. This is a lifetime sustainability mission, not a diet with a specific weight target. Lots of game left. The greatest reward of this crazy adventure is when we hear from Tank’s Army all kinds of stories of people who have decided to start walking or exercising because of Frank. This hasn’t been a story of easy win after easy win and the Frank Walks community has helped immensely, thank you. We have had setbacks and extremely tough stretches, but Frank always responds. That should be the key takeaway of this story: no matter how down you are, there is always an opportunity for redemption. Frank has been hovering over 300 for a couple of months now, and we can feel the inevitable breakthrough coming. We just gotta keep pushin’ on that mudderf*cking diet. Anudder weigh in in the books

Pastor Rhett Burns makes a fantastic, passionate plea for an amendment which will give more transparency in SBC entities, which ExComm President Jeff Iorg quickly argues against. “Fellow Messengers, For 100 years, the Cooperative Program has fueled our mission to share the Good News of Jesus across America and to the ends of the earth. As a former IMB missionary in Central Asia, I saw how your gifts enabled me to preach Jesus to Muslims who’d never heard His Name. Today, I rise out of love for our Great Commission partnership to ensure it thrives for another century. Trust is the foundation of our cooperation, and transparency builds that trust. This 990-level transparency my amendment secures gives you—the Messengers and churches—the financial information you need… to know you can trust that your missions dollars are being spent rightly… for the Great Commission. What is 990-level transparency? It’s the normal, regular, standard disclosure that almost all nonprofits report. It includes information like: top executive compensation, information on conflicts of interest, top contractors, and how much we’re paying lawyers. Again, this is just the regular, normal scope of information nonprofits disclose. To be clear, this motion would not require anyone to file anything with the IRS—rather entities would give this information to you: the tithe-giver. As we’ve talked about transparency over the last two years I’ve heard a lot of misinformation, so I’d like to separate Fact from Fiction. Fiction: We already have transparency because we have audits. Fact: Audits are a great internal accountability tool, telling you the receipts add up. But they don’t provide for external transparency. Fiction: There are legal reasons why entities can’t tell you what’s on a 990 or it will endanger our tax-exempt status. Fact: Legal reasons don’t keep the WMU or state Baptist colleges from actually filing a 990… with no resulting legal entanglements. Fiction: It will endanger missionaries. Fact: The motion explicitly has protections for missionaries. Fiction: This undermines our trustee system. Fact: It strengthens our trustee system though public accountability for their most fundamental decisions. Friends, it’s good that the EC is trying to improve our business operations and transparency. But let’s not delay adopting the same standard most state Baptist colleges already use. The standard for our work should not lag sister Baptist institutions, let alone secular nonprofits. One last Fiction: The best days of the Cooperative Program are behind us. Fact: Our best days are ahead of us—if we can restore trust through transparency… and see the SBC to its next 100 years of Great Commission effectiveness. We can do this with this amendment. Please vote in favor.”

Pastor Rhett Burns makes a fantastic, passionate plea for an amendment which will give more transparency in SBC entities, which ExComm President Jeff Iorg quickly argues against. “Fellow Messengers, For 100 years, the Cooperative Program has fueled our mission to share the Good News of Jesus across America and to the ends of the earth. As a former IMB missionary in Central Asia, I saw how your gifts enabled me to preach Jesus to Muslims who’d never heard His Name. Today, I rise out of love for our Great Commission partnership to ensure it thrives for another century. Trust is the foundation of our cooperation, and transparency builds that trust. This 990-level transparency my amendment secures gives you—the Messengers and churches—the financial information you need… to know you can trust that your missions dollars are being spent rightly… for the Great Commission. What is 990-level transparency? It’s the normal, regular, standard disclosure that almost all nonprofits report.

Episode 2 of my Immigration Series: Australian immigration policy is genuinely sui generis. Not even Australians fully appreciate this. A potted history: - The only country to have run assisted passage at scale -- around 3.5 million people whose fares were subsidised, sometimes fully, in a program that began in the 1830s and ran for around 150 years, ending only in 1981. - The first country in the world to have a dedicated Department of Immigration (founded 1945). - Probably the only nation in history to have set an explicit population target after WWII -- 1% growth from migration plus 1% from natural increase. - The first country in the world to offer adult migrants English-language training (in 1948, still running) and (I'm pretty sure) a telephone interpreting service for migrants (from 1973). - In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Australia took 60,000 Indochinese refugees -- proportionally more per population than any other country in the world. - One of the earliest countries in the world to introduce mandatory detention for unlawful non-citizens (1992). - Per capita, it's been the world's largest receiver of international students for decades. - The OECD country with the highest share of overseas-born among countries with more than 10 million people -- around 32%, about 8-9x the world average, and projected to climb into the 40s, a level likely not seen in Australia since the 1880s. I discussed the history of Australia's migration exceptionalism with Mark Cully. Mark has written the first truly general history of Australian immigration (to be published later this year). He has direct experience, having served as the inaugural Chief Economist of Australia's Department of Immigration. We discuss the six most decisive decades in Australian migration history, as well as some bigger picture questions: - has migration actually increased Australians' living standards (Mark believes it probably hasn't)? - the three potential constraints on our ability to accept migrants, and which has tended to be binding in practice - what does history teach us about the rise of One Nation? - and much more.

Kevin Street, testifying at the Allison Inquiry about his AstraZeneca COVID vaccine injury: "1951 days ago, I started my life over. Took a shot and I've never been back to work since." The Shot He walked out of his business, went down the hallway, and took the shot. He told the pharmacist it was "a real whopper", he could feel it go in. He still has a lump on his arm. He knew right away something was different. The pharmacist played it off as nothing. The Decline That night, the shakes started. He missed three days of work with what felt like a nasty flu. When he returned, he could only manage two or three hours a day, in full sweats. His immune system went into "flight mode" and never settled down. He'd go home soaked and have to get out of his clothes right away. His employees started telling him: "Kev, you've got to go home." He'd go home, and be back the next day, trying. The Collapse About two weeks in, he told his wife he couldn't do it anymore, things weren't right. He went out to the back deck, having a normal conversation, petting his dog. Then it was "like somebody flicked a light switch." Everything went out. He dropped. When he woke up, his wife was standing over him, thinking he was fooling around. Nothing was ever the same again. The Diagnosis - Multiple brain lesions - Blood clots - Legs swollen, a large black bruise — tested for deep vein thrombosis because he'd had the AstraZeneca shot - Increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier - Seizures that progressed into full-body tremors The Tremors The tremors lasted about two and a half years, he still has them today, just not as severe. At their worst, he would shake on a gurney for up to two hours, so violently that even the people around him got annoyed. He was fully aware the entire time, not like a grand mal seizure. He had no ability to stop it. It would ride out until his brain got tired. Then he'd be a wreck for two or three days. One neurologist brought three others in to observe him. They said it was "fascinating." The ER Ordeal For the first four weeks of ER visits, they kept testing him for methamphetamines and opioids because he presented as an overdose. The window for treatment was slipping away, and his wife watched it happen. They went to Ottawa Civic, where he was put in a ward with 20-25 other people presenting just like him, not COVID patients. That's where he met his first neurologist. The Daily Reality He walks like he's drunk all the time. He has to consciously tell his body what to do, tell his feet when to move, what direction, whether to bend his knee. He has no strength in his joints anymore. If he doesn't pay attention, he'll hurt himself. He can't run or jog, he knows better than to even attempt to make his brain do that. He was told not to stay in a wheelchair, or he'd never walk again. So he stays on his feet, trying to be "as human as possible." The Treatments He did the Peter McCullough protocol for about a year because his blood was in bad shape. They also found that PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic frequency) helps substantially, especially with inflammation in his brain. When he does it, he can function a lot better. The System He's permanently disabled. He was accepted into KITE, supposedly the best program in the world for his disability. But they cannot fix it. All they can offer are things to try to make life a little easier. And those treatments aren't covered. To access certain therapies, he had to be diagnosed with other conditions. He now has diabetes, and with that diagnosis, he can access some types of therapy. But he's been waiting for that therapy for over two years. Just last week, he got another call from Toronto telling him they can't fulfill his appointment and need to rebook again. He applied for support four years ago. They lost his file - twice. He's still waiting, told he's another 6 to 12 months from a decision. He was removed from a nine-week therapy program because he wasn't showing progress - they were treating him as a stroke patient, not for his actual condition. When he reached out to his MP, the response was that if his case is pushed forward, someone else will have to wait longer. "I don't like doing that," he said. "But the fact of the matter is, we're left here and we're afraid." He's afraid to even call and ask where his case stands, because he doesn't want to be seen as "a headache" and pushed back again. Years after these people were injured, they are still without real support. They're being ignored, lost in the system, treated as problems rather than patients, and forced to fight for every scrap of care while their lives quietly fall apart. Kevin's story is one of thousands, and it has to stop. Hopefully the Allison Inquiry represents a small step in the right direction, because these people deserve answers, recognition, and real help. They've waited long enough.
