    Randy Olson|Dec 23, 2021

    In the video below, Dr. John Campbell of the United Kingdom explains information regarding the spread of the omicron "strain" of COVID-19 in recent weeks.

  • Withholding truth (OPINION)

    Randy Olson|Dec 9, 2021

    It's disturbing to see the level of truths, facts and accurate information that is withheld from the public debate around COVID-19. Fortunately, the information is out there if you really want to know what's happening. This also slides over to the debate around vaccination. Did you know? If you have a large amount of excess body fat, it minimizes the ability of the COVID-19 jab to do its job properly? Science spells that all out. In laymen's terms, if you have a large amount of excess body fat,...

  • White Coat Waste Project exposes Fauci-backed horrors (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Dec 2, 2021

    Without the work of the White Coat Waste Project, we may have never learned about the grotesque, vile horror taking place under the watch of the National Institute of Health and their wretched leader, Tony Fauci. The White Coat Waste Project receives all of its funding from small donors. They have long utilized a "Bernie Sanders-esque" fundraising model. This gives them a large, grassroots base of support. In spite of the best efforts of the major media and all of his followers to protect him,...

    Did you know that COVID-19 has thousands of variations by now? Thousands.

  • (OPINION) Giving out donuts to spur more vaxxing?

    Randy Olson|Nov 18, 2021

    We have to be the dumbest nation on earth, giving out free donuts to coax a person into getting vaccinated against COVID-19. And that same donut creates a biological response that lessens the impact and efficacy of that vaccination (according to science, but why bother with science?) The stupidity does extend to Minnesota, where reporters caught comments by folks complaining that some college campuses do not have posters that promote vaccination. This was reported in the Star Tribune on...
