Journalistic Deceit: An Example Of Why You Can't Trust The News Media.

I was looking at the website for channel 45 news, a local ABC affiliate in Winston Salem NC, when I saw a story in the "Trending" column headlined "Iranian news outlet reports over 36,000 killed in protests, marking historic bloodshed". I've been following reports on the protests since they began, and the number of deaths from the protests has generally been counted in the low thousands, not tens of thousands. So I read further in the story to learn what ABC 45 knew that others didn't. 

The story said "Iranian news site, Iran International, reported on Sunday that over 36,000 people have been killed during the height of the protests that took place earlier this month". There was no explanation of who Iran International is, but at first I assumed it's a news agency within Iran. But if so, why were they reporting ten times more deaths than the Iranian government? I did some digging and found that Iran International is owned by Volant Media, a company based in the United Kingdom. Volant Media doesn't reveal their ownership. But according to Wikipedia, it is "reportedly linked to Saudi Arabia, [and] it (Iran International) is aimed at Iranians and people interested in Iranian news, culture, politics, society and sports. Iran International has been heavily criticized by the Iranian government for actively encouraging Iranians into anti-government protests and riots by spreading fake news and propaganda and has been described as a tool of Mossad by Barak Ravid. During the Mahsa Amini protests on 9 November 2022, the Iranian Minister of Intelligence Ismail Khatib announced that Iran International had been declared a terrorist organization by the Islamic Republic of Iran, accused of inciting riots protesting the government."

"According to Middle East Eye, Iran International is a media platform for the Iranian opposition. The channel is known for raising the profile of Reza Pahlavi, the last heir apparent to the former Iranian throne, by constant coverage and repeatedly interviewing him."

Reza Pahlavi is the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last shah of Iran who eventually became a bribed puppet of the CIA.

It seems apparent that Iran International is essentially a propaganda agency posing as a legitimate news source. And I suspect if its true ownership could be discovered, we'd see funding from America's CIA, the United Kingdom's MI6, and Israel's Mossad.

We should question why ABC 45, owned by Sinclair Broadcasting, would use a source as obviously biased as Iran International. But they aren't alone. Zionist slop-site 'Breitbart' is also quoting them.

Yes, the same number of victims is repeated by Breitbart, and the source of that number is Iran International. Initially, Breitbart also reported that Khamenei had fled to a fortified bunker, but they've since removed that part of the story. But another news site still makes the claim: The Times of Israel.

They write: "Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding in a Tehran bunker, according to the opposition-affiliated Iran International news site". The news site 'India Today' also made the claim, and also gave credit to Iran International as their source. So in one day we have at least four news sites (and probably hundreds more if you count all the stations owned by Sinclair) that published unverified information portraying the leaders of Iran as horrible murderers.

The point of my post isn't to take sides either for or against Iran. The point is that what at first appears to be a legitimate news article on a local television station's website is in reality a biased story from a sketchy source that seems to have an agenda. And this same source is also being used by other news sites around the world.

The average reader doesn't have the time to find out where their news is coming from. Most find sites they like and then trust they're being told the truth.

But as I've revealed here, when you scratch beneath the surface you often find that what you thought was journalism is actually manipulation.

Notes From Clown World: December 26, 2025.

It's been a while since I posted the last "Notes From Clown World". So much has happened in 2025 that I couldn't keep up with it all. And much of it was so toxic I chose to pivot away from my blog for a while rather than examine the ugliness that seems to be everywhere now. But with Christmas behind me I had a quiet night to scroll through the news and a few hundred posts on Telegram, and here's some of the madness that I found:

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to dominate the news. I find it all very interesting but at the same time I don't expect the crime syndicate controlling our federal government to actually open up the files and disclose the truth. President Trump and his lap-girl Pam Bondi are still dancing around the subject, claiming they have the files, then saying there are no files, and finishing with "it's a scam from the Democrats". Although some files have now been released to the public, what we've been given are photos with no context and documents that are almost completely blacked out.

Epstein was obviously a bad character, most likely working for Mossad and the CIA, and his operation trapped hundreds of politicians, corporate leaders, and celebrities in a web of pedophilia, sex trafficking, sick rituals, and the lust for power, and the web was enforced by blackmail and extortion. We don't know the names of every person involved, but some have speculated that the operation was so large and included so many famous people that the truth could bring down governments and institutions. 

Was Trump involved in the crimes, or is he merely protecting the system that allowed it all to happen? Obviously I can't say yet, but Trump's behavior, especially his hateful comments toward Thomas Massie, does nothing to support his case. The more he talks, the guiltier he looks. 

What makes it all worse is the delusional behavior on social media, with the MAGA cult siding with Trump no matter what evidence is produced, and the radical left refusing to believe that any Democrat could possibly be a part of the scandal. 

Clown world indeed.

Gangsta's be rollin'.

In addition to the Epstein scandal, it's not looking good for Trump with reference to his numerous pardons. Geopolitics Prime recently reported on how several of his pardons were for people connected to what some call the "Jewish Mafia":

From Geopolitics Prime:

"Connecting the dots: Trump keeps pardoning healthcare fraudsters linked to this one pro-Israel sect.

The president has made a mockery of his MAHA agenda by handing out clemency to healthcare execs responsible for costly and sometimes deadly criminal schemes.

See if you can spot a pattern:

🔴 Philip Esformes: Nursing home mogul behind what the DoJ says was the “largest health care fraud scheme” ever prosecuted, convicted in 2019 on a $1.3B fraud, bribery and money laundering scheme, including the drugging of patients with oxycontin and fentanyl to extend their stay at his facilities.

Got 20 years, but pardoned by Trump in late 2020 on the recommendation of Jared Kushner and the Chabad-Lubavitch movement-linked Aleph Institute. Rearrested for domestic violence in late 2024. Case dropped a month later.

🔴 Sholam Weiss: Racketeer, money launderer and wire fraudster who siphoned $450M from the National Heritage Life Insurance Company in the 90s. Slapped with an 845-year prison sentence, which he tried to evade by fleeing to Europe.

Pardoned by Trump in 2021. Also linked to Chabad.

🔴 Salomon Melgen: Got 17 years in prison in 2017 over a $42M fraud scheme involving unnecessary eye surgeries using Medicare. Sentence commuted by Trump in 2021, even though Melgen was a Democrat megadonor.

Pardon lobbied for by the Aleph Institute.

🔴 Daniela Gozes-Wagner: convicted on a $50M fraud scheme in 2017, sentenced to 10 years. Trump commuted her sentence in 2020.

Why? You guessed it, Aleph Institute lobbying.

🔴 Eliyahu Weinstein: Convicted to 24 years for real estate fraud targeting his own Orthodox Jewish community in Lakewood, NJ. Sentence commuted by Trump in 2021. Weinstein immediately returned to fraud, this time involving medical supplies. Handed a new 37-year sentence in November 2025.

Will he be freed again? Watch this space.

WaPo (Washington Post) says 27 of the 238 people granted clemency by Trump 1.0 were linked to the Aleph Institute, its Tzedek Association sister agency, and other lobbyists working with them.

At least Biden had the autopen. What’s Trump’s excuse?"

"We've basically been desensitized to the fact that our rulers are evil deviants. At this point, they tell us what they're doing to rub it in our faces because they know we'll do nothing." -- Nick Hudson

Finally for this installment of Clown World, I found this article about chemtrails published in Rolling Stone magazine. Rolling Stone used to be focused on the music industry, but these days it's more of a leftist-flavored propaganda site owned by the ruling elite. The article is behind a paywall, and I'm not willing to pay for garbage, but the cover image gives you a pretty good idea of what they're trying to convince us of. 

Obviously your first question should be, "why is a music magazine talking about chemtrails?". 

Chemtrails, also called "geoengineering", have gone from being a fringe conspiracy theory to accepted fact, with extensive research proving that something other than contrails are being sprayed out of aircraft on an almost daily basis. It's actually funny, in a tragic sort of way, that anyone could look up and see all the narrow white streaks crisscrossing the sky that expand into wide bands and later become a blanket of gray clouds as far as one can see, and think, "that's totally normal". 

I don't claim to know what the purpose of the chemtrail program is. It could be a mad attempt to block the sun and cool the planet, or it could be the poisoning of humanity to create disease and cull the population. Or maybe it's something else entirely. But whatever it is, Rolling Stone doesn't want you to think about it too much. Just accept what they say and go back to sleep.

Chemtrail clouds over Alamance County, North Carolina. This is the actual sky, not a retouched photo.

As we close out 2025 I implore all of you to stay vigilant, informed, and energized. 2026 is predicted to be even more chaotic as the ruling elites try to hide their crimes and tighten their grip on humanity.

We're rapidly becoming inhabitants of a global slave colony and no one is coming to save us. It's up to us to stop the mad men in their tracks, bring them to justice, and restore our God-given freedom.

Spraying Resumes Over Central North Carolina.

After chemtrails became a talking point across America, it seemed like the spraying slowed down or stopped in North Carolina. I actually saw many days with clear blue skies. But I also saw even more days with huge puffy white clouds that seemed out of place in the summer sky. Something about them didn't seem natural. Equally unnatural were the frequent storms and resulting flooding that we saw throughout the spring and summer. And I couldn't help but wonder if the spraying was still happening, hidden above the clouds.

In any event, we had a few days of cloudless blue skies this week and right on cue, the chemtrails airplanes emerged from their hangars and began pumping out poison onto the innocent, unsuspecting people and animals living below. The three photos above are from Sunday, September 21 2025 north of Winston Salem NC. As bad as it looks, it's mild compared to what I saw a year ago, September 2024 (image below) in the same general location:

Despite the passing of state laws in some states banning chemtrails and increased pressure from the public, whoever is authorizing the spraying seems determined to continue, regardless of the law and regardless of the toxic effects the spraying may have on the environment.

Unfortunately it's unlikely we'll learn the truth about it all because we're governed by what is effectively a division of a global crime cartel that rules the world as if it owns it.

And most of us, sadly, are too sedated and apathetic to do anything about it.

Trump Is Rapidly Expanding The American Police State.

The American police state that I've been warning about since I was 16 years old is no longer a mere possibility. It's not even a probability anymore now that it's coming into clear focus. We've moved past wondering if it will happen or when it will happen because it's happening now, under the direction of Donald Trump and with the full support of his most faithful fans, most of whom have apparently never read the U.S. Constitution.

To be fair, Trump didn't lay the foundation for the authoritarian surveillance society we see being built around us. He's only pulling together all the pieces that past presidents, Democrat and Republican, have forced upon us over the past several decades, topped off with newly developed digital technology powered by artificial intelligence.

Bill Clinton got us used to militarized federal agents doing the work of his power-mad attorney general, Janet Reno. George Bush III gave us the massive 9/11 psyop and trauma event, followed by the "Patriot Act" that erased so many of our freedoms with little outcry from Americans who just wanted to feel safe. Barack Obama made it legal for propaganda to be used against U.S. citizens. Donald Trump, in his first term, allowed Americans to be "locked down", a term usually reserved for prisoners, allegedly to combat COVID-19 despite no evidence that lock downs would accomplish anything other than destroy the economy. Joe Biden was a heavy promoter of censorship, working with social media companies to silence dissent. He also threatened to send the National Guard door to door to enforce vaccine compliance.

Now we have Trump version 2.  Trump v2 has introduced censorship to combat "antisemitism", concentration camps disguised as "illegal immigrant detention centers", biometric airport security systems, further militarization of the police, and a partnership with Palantir that will radically increase the amount of data the federal government has on us. Trump has also used the National Guard in Los Angeles to support ICE raids, and he's now federalized law enforcement in Washington DC and promises to do the same in other large cities. Add to that bi-partisan efforts to introduce digital ID's and to eliminate the anonymous internet, and we're right at the point where the gates slam shut in the dystopian digital prison we're going to find ourselves permanently trapped in.

Donald Trump can say he wants to "Make America Great Again" until he runs of out of breath, but who is he making it great for? Apparently MAGA is for the tech, banking, pharma, and military oligarchs who are increasingly running not only America but the entire world. The new authoritarian surveillance society isn't being built for our benefit. It's being built to silence us, track us, and control us, so that the oligarchs can take our homes, our wealth, and our freedom, and never have to worry about us storming their castles to try and get it back.

I've found two videos that help to make my point. The first is "A Police State For Your Safety" (5 mins, 45 secs) by Greg Reese. It's a quick overview of where we are and where Trump is taking us.

The second video is "This Is Tyranny" by Aaron and Melissa Dykes (31 mins, 50 secs). The Dykes think something big is being prepared for by our government, saying "Mass civil unrest is obviously coming in the not-too-distant future or they wouldn’t be gearing up for it so damn hard. What is happening isn’t okay at all, but it’s definitely being normalized at breakneck speed."

We still have the power to keep the freedom we still have and gain back the freedoms we've already lost. Unfortunately the left mistakenly thinks all they have to do is make sure the Democrats win the next few major elections. They're blind to the role that Democrats have played in getting us to this point. And Republicans have put their faith in a man who seems to have sold his soul to the gods of power and money. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are going to legislate us back to the nation our Founding Fathers envisioned and created. Our government has become a dangerous, insatiable monster that demands more and more but refuses to give anything back.

There probably is no political solution. But if we do nothing, future generations of Americans will know nothing but lives of constant surveillance, zero privacy, and the feeling of a policeman's boot standing on their throats.

Israel Uses Starvation As An Inhumane Weapon Of War.

"You'll get hell." How Israeli officials justify using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.

A photo essay by Humaira Ahad / PressTV

Israeli policy in Gaza is using starvation as a weapon of war, with regime officials openly advocating blockade tactics to displace, kill, and exterminate Palestinians.

The faces of starvation: Huda used to run barefoot across the courtyard. Now, she slumps against a wall, too weak to stand. She is one of over a million children enduring Israel's starvation campaign in Gaza.

Hunger as a weapon: This is not accidental. Israel has weaponized food, water, and medicine - turning hunger into a method of war. Over 100 Palestinians - 80 of them children - have already died from starvation and dehydration.

A policy with deep roots: "We'll deprive Gaza of water, and the Arabs will leave." - Levi Eshkol, Israeli Prime Minister, 1967. This policy didn't begin in 2023. It's decades old, and now more explicit than ever.

The 'Calorie Limit' strategy: In 2007 Israeli officials calculated the minimum calories Palestinians needed to avoid famine - then blocked food just above that line. "The idea is to put Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger," said Dov Weissglas, advisor to then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Starvation goes public: Today, Israeli officials no longer hide it.

"Starve the Gazans and impose a siege to the max." - MK Moshe Saada

"The food and aid depots should be bombed in order to create military and political pressure." - Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir

"Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza - no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell, you will get hell." -- Gen. Ghassan Alian

Systematic deprivation: Fuel, food, and water are blocked. UN-cleared trucks are turned back or attacked. Officials brag about cutting off Gaza's lifelines.

"We don't give them food - they will have to leave." - Daniella Weiss

Dehumanization: "They are human animals. No electricity. No water. No gas. We are fighting animals." - Top Israeli Generals and Ministers.

This language is used to justify mass starvation.

Gaza's grim choice: "Stay and starve, or leave." That's the ultimatum. Not for Palestinian resistance fighters, but for over 2 million civilians, half of them children.

This is not war. It is extermination by hunger.

Zionists Made Genocide Cheap.

Amid Gaza’s deepening humanitarian crisis, Israels Zionist regime and the United States have turned hunger into a weapon and aid centers into slaughterhouses, where a loaf of bread is pursued at the risk of death.

Gaza genocide:
