NYC fired 5,511 teachers over COVID shots, far more than first reported
Attorney Jimmy Wagner obtained New York City Department of Education records showing 5,511 teachers were fired under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. That total dwarfs the 914 Department of Education firings the city reported in February 2022. Teachers for Choice founder Michael Kane estimates at least 10,000 educators were lost once resignations are counted. Fired educators, including 32-year veteran Helene Moffatt, are still fighting their dismissals in court.
Federal Judge Strikes Down New York’s Civilian Body Armor Ban, Citing Second Amendment
wp-admin/post.php?post=1311690&action=editU.S. District Judge John Sinatra ruled on Oct. 21 that New York's ban on the sale and purchase of body armor violates the Second Amendment, according to a 47-page ruling. The decision in Heeter v. James, issued in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, blocks the state from enforcing a 2022 law that made it a crime for most civilians to buy or sell bulletproof vests.
Every Japanese Citizen Should Be a Prepper
Japan's Emergency Appeal Is a Wake-Up Call Japan is not a hypothetical disaster zone. It is the living laboratory of the Ring of Fire, a nation that has been reminded time and again that the ground beneath its feet is not a guarantee. So when Tokyo's leadership begins telling citizens to prepare their own supplies, I do not hear bureaucratic noise. I hear a signal. The Japanese government's disaster prevention push is not alarmism -- it is common sense arriving years late.
Why You Will Survive the Coming Chaos (Even If You’re Not Fully Prepared)
Introduction: You're More Prepared Than You Think I hear the fear in your voice. It's the AI doomerism, the diesel shortages, the trucker strikes, the empty-shelf panic that flickers across your news feed every few weeks. I believe most people are drowning in it, oscillating between paralyzing fear and willful denial, and neither state does them any good [1]. But you are different.
Children’s hospital vaccinates unconscious children
Children's Hospital Colorado has vaccinated over 18,000 pediatric patients under deep sedation or general anesthesia during surgical procedures since 2020. The practice targets children with neurocognitive conditions who cannot tolerate awake vaccinations. Medical literature warns vaccine reactions can be mistaken for surgical complications, creating diagnostic confusion. Parental consent obtained in high-pressure preoperative settings raises concerns about truly informed decision-making.
A practical addition to any emergency preparedness plan
Storing heirloom seeds helps households prepare for emergencies when fresh produce or gardening supplies may be difficult to obtain. Saving seeds from successful harvests also reduces the need to buy new seeds every year and helps preserve traditional varieties that may be difficult to find. Prepare seeds properly and remove dirt, plant debris, hulls and chaff before storage. Discard weak or damaged seeds, and dry the remaining seeds thoroughly to reduce the risk of mold and fungal growth.
America’s race to power the AI data centers beckons a nuclear renaissance
For most of the last forty years, nuclear power in America has been a story of cancellations, closures and cost overruns. This fall the story turned. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a construction permit for the Tennessee Valley Authority to build a small modular reactor at its Clinch River site in Tennessee. The agency says this clears the way for the nation’s first commercial small modular reactor and that its review took 14 months. The approval is one piece of a larger pattern.
EU allocates $736 million for online censorship under the ruse of tackling “hate speech” and “disinformation”
The European Union has allocated $736 million for online censorship programs and is expanding its ability to punish journalists and citizens for speech deemed objectionable, often without judicial oversight. German journalist Huseyin Dogru became the first European citizen sanctioned under the EU's regime for allegedly spreading Russian propaganda, resulting in a "civil death" where he is restricted to a €506 ($567) monthly allowance and cannot hold a job or bank account.
My Case for Choosing Abundance Reality
Introduction: The Artificial World Is Not Reality Most people are living inside an engineered artificial world, not the real world. The artificial world is a constructed reality in which nearly everything you consume -- your money, your news, your food, your medicine, your politics and your energy -- has been altered, degraded or weaponized against you. Artificial scarcity in money, news, food, medicine, democracy and energy is deliberately induced, not natural.
Vaccine injury compensation, family loss and the fight for answers
Episode 3 of "Vaccine Education for Mama Bears" explored how the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program handled claims involving alleged vaccine-related injuries or deaths, including eligibility requirements, deadlines and compensation limits. Dr. H discussed the importance of medical records, claim procedures, attorney fees and the program's funding through an excise tax on covered vaccines, while raising concerns about fairness, transparency and access to compensation.
NHS nurse denied vaccine damage payment after COVID-19 vaccine trial injury
Marie-Claire Hoyle, an NHS advanced nurse practitioner, volunteered for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine trial in 2020. She experienced a rapid and severe neurological deterioration after receiving the trial dose, losing the ability to use her hands and suffering lasting impairment. Hoyle's claim was rejected by the U.K.'s Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme, which requires a 60% disability threshold.
The Empty Shelves in Italy Are Not a Fluke — They Are the Opening Act of a Global Food Collapse
The Engineering of a Global Food Collapse I watched the grocery store footage from southern Italy this week with a sick feeling in my gut. The shelves were stripped bare -- not because of a nationwide shortage, but because truckers are protesting sky-high diesel prices and key distribution routes are blocked. In a country that's one of Europe's agricultural giants, stores are running out of basic foodstuffs. A localized trucker strike should not empty the bread aisle in a modern economy. But it did.
Forecasters: U.S. Winter Likely Wetter and Warmer, Snow Chances Shift South
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Thursday, Oct. 15, that parts of all 39 states will see a wetter-than-usual winter – with much of Montana and parts of Oregon, Idaho, Wisconsin and Michigan drier than normal [1][2]. El Niño Pattern Drives Outlook El Niño is a natural, temporary warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that shifts global weather patterns and generally raises global temperatures [3].
Why the Pillars of Our World Are Being Taken Down on Purpose
The Civilizational Rug Pull Explained For nearly 25 years, I've documented the patterns of control, deception, and engineered collapse, and I write this not as a detached observer but as someone who has watched the same playbook deployed numerous times. Now they are activating it again. The world is now accelerating toward a precipice, but the nature of the threat has fundamentally changed. This is not a conspiracy of accidents.
When parenting choices collide with medical authority
In Episode 5 of Vaccine Education for Mama Bears, Dr. Henry Ealy recounts taking his young son to the hospital over concerns about possible pneumonia. According to Ealy, hospital staff questioned his son's vaccination status and the disagreement allegedly escalated to a threat to involve Child Protective Services.
Building a seed bank that actually works
Heirloom seeds are essential for long-term self-sufficiency because they are open-pollinated, meaning you can save and replant them year after year to produce identical plants. Focus your garden on calorie-dense staple crops for survival. Prioritize about 70% to 80% of your growing space for high-energy foods like potatoes and corn, which provide the calories and protein needed to sustain a household.
To Grow Food, Build Soil—Not Gardens: What William Bond Taught Me About Permaculture
The Interview That Made Me Rethink Gardening On a recent Decentralize TV episode, my co-host and I sat down with William Bond for an interview that I expected to be filled with the usual gardening tips -- how deep to plant, when to water, which fertilizer to buy, and so on. What I got instead was a fundamental reframing of the entire enterprise. Bond's core message hit me with profound wisdom: soil is the base building block, not the act of gardening itself.
The golden trinity: How turmeric, black pepper and ginger support good health – NaturalNews.com
Turmeric contains curcumin. This natural compound has antioxidant properties that may help support overall wellness. Black pepper improves curcumin absorption. Its piperine content can increase curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%. Healthy fats, such as coconut oil or whole milk, may further enhance absorption. Ginger adds complementary benefits.

Eight firefighters out of options as Supreme Court refuses religious vaccine exemption case
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear two COVID-19 vaccine mandate cases over religious exemptions. The refusal leaves in place a ruling that lets nearly 1,000 United Airlines workers sue together over unpaid leave. That case now returns to a Texas federal court and could take years to resolve. Eight Washington firefighters lost their last chance to challenge their department’s denial of religious exemptions.
Chinese AI agent Artex just hacked 68,000 South Korean bank customers
by Lance D Johnson, Natural News: A security tool built to find cracks in digital walls may have become the crowbar that pried them open. South Korean investigators say hackers turned Artex, a Chinese-made, open-source AI agent, against at least seven financial firms and walked away with the personal data of 68,000 people. The culprits remain faceless, the attribution remains unproven in public, and the guardrails arrived only after the damage was done.
Six Lighting Options for Power Outages, EMP Events
A report published by Survival Sullivan states that electromagnetic pulses (EMP), whether caused by solar flares or man-made sources, can disable electronics and the power grid, and that Faraday cages may protect devices [1][2]. The article, titled "6 Ways to Light Your Way When the World Goes Dark," also states that blackouts occur regularly and that the aging U.S. power grid is failing more often, with the average number of minutes Americans spend without electricity increasing year after year.
Why MAHA Is Fracturing
Why MAHA Is Fracturing It now seems clear that the Make America Healthy Again movement is fracturing because its leaders chose power over principle, and the people who built this coalition are now watching it get hijacked by the very institutions the health freedom pioneers set out to dismantle.
Why portable solar chargers are essential gear for preppers and outdoor enthusiasts
Reliable off-grid energy is just as important as food and water, especially as the power grid becomes less dependable due to storms and cyberattacks. Solar chargers are simple and self-sufficient. These devices use photovoltaic cells to capture sunlight, convert it to electricity and store it in a battery. This allows you to run phones and small devices silently without needing any grid power.
A nation caught between history and hubris
Berlin has reoriented its defense strategy, becoming Europe's largest bilateral arms supplier to Ukraine ($10B annually) while dismantling diplomatic ties with Russia, reviving fears of a militarized "Fourth Reich" and echoing pre-WWII-era tensions. Centuries of geopolitical rivalry and divergent worldviews—shaped by Germany's methodical planning vs. Russia's resilience-driven urgency—fuel a strategic impasse, framing the 21st-century Ukraine conflict as a modern proxy war.
Georgia’s largest health system will fire workers who refuse the flu shot, including remote workers and contractors
Emory Healthcare will fire employees who skip its flu vaccine requirement by mid-November. Workers must get the shot or an approved medical or religious exemption by Nov. 1 or face unpaid suspension. A Cleveland Clinic preprint found vaccinated employees had a 27% higher flu risk in 2024-2025. CDC estimates show flu vaccine effectiveness has ranged from 19% to 60% since 2009-10. Many healthcare workers are skipping flu shots as Moderna's new mRNA vaccine arrives.
U.S. Deploys Patriots to Shield Saudi Oil and Qatari Gas Facilities
The United States has deployed two additional Patriot missile batteries to the Persian Gulf region, sending one to Saudi Arabia and one to Qatar to defend key energy infrastructure against potential Iranian strikes, according to U.S. officials and a regional source cited in a report published Friday [1]. The deployment places American air defense assets over two of the world's most consequential energy sites.
Pilot Admits Alleged Plan to Crash Flydubai Flight in Israel After Midair Attack
A pilot suspected of assaulting a colleague aboard a flydubai flight has admitted that he intended to crash the aircraft in Israel, according to media reports citing unidentified sources [1]. The incident occurred Wednesday aboard a flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv that issued an emergency signal and made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. According to the same report, the suspect Hamam Al Hammami was transferred Thursday from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates.
Reports: Creatine Occurs Naturally in Meat and Fish; Supplements Remain Concentrated Source – NaturalNews.com
Dietary creatine occurs only in animal-based foods, according to a report from NaturalNews.com published Sept. 20, 2026 [1]. The report identifies beef, pork, chicken, herring, salmon, tuna and cod as natural sources of the compound, which is stored in muscle tissue and supports the production of phosphocreatine, a fast-acting energy reserve used during short bursts of intense activity [1].
Reddit polices health claims while drugmakers buy access to its users
Reddit quarantined 54 communities and banned r/NoNewNormal in 2021 amid demands to curb COVID-19 misinformation. Volunteer moderators set their own rules, so the same vaccine post can survive in one forum and vanish in another. Banned users say aggressive moderation silenced legitimate debate, while government pressure on Reddit remains unproven. Drugmakers are courting Reddit users, and a U.K. regulator ruled that a paid Reddit ad for SheMed broke advertising rules.
Power banks: The unsung heroes of every survival kit
A power bank can be an essential emergency tool when storms, earthquakes, floods or other disasters knock out electricity and you need to call someone for help. A charged phone can provide communication, navigation, emergency alerts and access to important information. Keeping devices powered can help maintain communication during a crisis. High-capacity power banks can support more than smartphones.
Wright Says U.S. Power Grid Needs More Generation as Electricity Demand Rises
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. must expand electricity generation and transmission capacity to meet rising demand, according to remarks reported by The Associated Press. Wright pointed to growth from artificial intelligence data centers and electrification as factors increasing load on the power grid. The comments came as the Trump administration pursues policies aimed at boosting domestic energy production, including natural gas, coal, and nuclear projects.
PA Republicans fight health rules allowing warrantless home entry, private student interviews
Pennsylvania Republicans are fighting a 502-page Health Department proposal they call "COVID 2.0." The rules would let officials enter homes and schools without a warrant. Investigators could question students privately without notifying parents. The Department of Health says the update modernizes disease rules unchanged for 25 years. Critics say the state's own cost estimates don't add up and shift compliance burdens onto schools and hospitals.
Handbags that block hackers and EMF
A built-in Faraday pocket is a secret compartment lined with special conductive fabric (made of silver, copper or nickel threads). When you put things like your phone, key fob or credit cards inside, it blocks all wireless signals, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and RFID, making your device invisible and secure from tracking, hacking and data theft. Modern smartphones constantly broadcast your location and are vulnerable to remote hacking and surveillance.

5 Everyday Emergencies Worth Preparing For
A crashed car. A layoff notice. A child's sudden asthma attack. According to Megan Stewart, writing for Survival Sullivan, a preparedness-focused publication, most preppers concentrate on a coming natural disaster or another major event, yet there are everyday emergencies that even most folks have not thought about. The article, titled "5 Everyday Emergencies You Didn't Know You Have to Prep For," states that major disasters receive attention, but everyday incidents are more likely to occur.
Ohio Public Health Order Allows 21-to-25-Day Exclusion of Unvaccinated Students After Disease Cases
Ohio Department of Public Health Director Bruce Vanderhoff signed a public health order in February that permits schools to exclude unvaccinated students for 21 to 25 days when a measles or rubella case is confirmed, or when a mumps or chickenpox outbreak occurs, according to state records.

France’s Macron Demanding EU-Wide Social Media Ban For Kids Under 15 After Losing At Home
French President Emmanuel Macron has asked European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen to draft a new European Union law that would ban social media use for children under 15 across all member states, according to a report published by Reclaim The Net [1]. The request follows the French Constitutional Council’s Aug. 14 decision striking down Macron’s domestic under-15 social media ban as unconstitutional and “disproportionate” [2].
“UNBREAKABLE” on BrightU: Inside the psychology of becoming UNBREAKABLE
Chapter 13 of Mike Adams' "UNBREAKABLE" focused on everyday choices involving food, exercise, learning, growing, sharing and preparedness. Adams argued that fear created helplessness, while knowledge enabled people to take greater control through self-care and preparedness. The concept encouraged deliberate choices about food, health, exercise, education and preparation, emphasizing that individuals could still make meaningful choices even amid uncertainty.

Israel is removing tens of millions of tons of rubble in Gaza and thousands of corpses, as fecal and heavy metal contamination pervade
by Lance D Johnson, Natural News: As the world looks away, Israel is waging a silent war on truth itself, grinding the concrete and bones of Gaza into dust and carting the evidence across borders in a gruesome operation that conceals genocide while poisoning its own land and people. More than 68 million tons of rubble now blanket the Gaza Strip, the detritus of a 34-month assault that has leveled entire neighborhoods, destroyed 85% of universities and damaged over 80% of schools.
