New York Times Front Page from March 1, 2026; with “American Flag in a Field of Milo” (slide photo, 1999). Good evening. I have plenty to say tonight but I’m going to resist temptation and offer you an especially poignant edition of Starcast from Planet Waves. Right after I did the above podcast, I figured out that the impressive Leo presence in the current sky corresponds to Ari, the lion of Israeli fame.

Jon Rappoport (1938-2026). Photos provided. This special edition of Planet Waves FM is presented in two segments. In the first, I document how Jon Rappoport had solved the entire “covid” mystery by April 8, 2020. And how he had solved the HIV/AIDS mystery by 1988 when he published the book AIDS, Inc.: The Scandal of the Century. I am eternally grateful for his guidance, collaboration and support. In the second segment I do a rousing reading of his astrology chart.

I ran into Del Bigtree, president of Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) and host of The HighWire podcast, at a health freedom event near where I live today. This was at the Stonechurch Farm just outside of Hudson, New York. I began by asking about his organization accepting money from anonymous donor-advised funds (DAFs) run by Vanguard and Fidelity brokerage firms, the for-profit arms of which have significant investments in vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna.

Dear Friend and Listener: Thank you to all who support the Planet Waves FM program and Chiron Return’s journalism projects, mentorship program, media literacy efforts — and help to cover the costs of my reporting. For the past two weeks, I’ve been documenting the tactics and creepy revenue sources of the biggest players in alleged “health freedom journalism.” Haven’t we had enough of that?

On tonight’s program, I return to the ever popular virus issue, or rather the matter of phony fundraising by major organizations abusing the public trust about the “vaccine” for a virus that does not exist.

Tonight’s program addresses the ongoing deception, dissembling and factual mess woven by Del Bigtree on The HighWire when the question of virus existence comes up. Bigtree claims to be against vaccines; that is the entire basis of his organization, the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN). Its revenue was about $15m in 2024, according to ProPublica.
