As “mainstream” news collapses, independent news thrives: Gateway Pundit saw 34% increase in 2021

There is nothing mainstream about “mainstream news.” Increasing evidence suggests that so-called ‘legacy’ news sources such as NYT, WaPo, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc. are probably being secretly funded by US government intelligence agencies.

The public’s trust in such media has plummeted in recent years. Mainstream news lost 65% of its social media interactions, and 8% of its unique visits or more.

But independent news sources are attracting increased trust and readership. The Gateway Pundit news site saw a 34% traffic increase in 2021, while Mainstream Media saw a 36% decrease.

This was despite the fact that there has been a broad censorship campaign against thegatewaypundit.com. Gatewaypundit was banned by Twitter in 2021. Ninety-five percent of Facebook traffic to the site was eliminated. T-Mobile now blocks text links to The Gateway Pundit. Google smears the site and blocks their ads and blocks traffic to the site.

Another US Postal worker accused of stealing mail

USA TODAY reports that “[a] Florida letter carrier has been arrested for allegedly stealing about 4,000 pieces of mail, mostly greeting cards from a local retirement community.”

Miranda Delee Farleigh, 25, allegedly stole cards and letters for months, searching them for money. Farleigh worked as a contract mail carrier for the USPS for six years and worked with a route that included The Villages retirement community in Orlando, Florida.

“Miranda Farleigh admitted to me that she had been rifling mail containing greeting cards in order to steal currency and/or gift cards,” according to Keith. “Farleigh confessed that while she had been working in the official capacity as a mail carrier, she had targeted the outgoing mail that was dropped off by residents in The Villages.”

More Californians flee: U-Haul reports it can’t keep its rental trucks and trailers in the state

U-Haul annually surveys which states its rental trucks and trailers are traveling to and from. California has been among the leading net-losers in recent years; and this year California was far-and-away the national leader in U-Haul rentals leaving but not returning.

In 2020 the State lost more equipment than Illinois, which had the final spot in 2019. San Francisco departures accounted for 58% of all one-way U-Haul traffic from March through June, causing limited equipment supplies in the area.

“For a good part of this year we’ve had far more customers than we’ve actually had equipment to serve these customers,” said Victor Vanegas, area district vice president for U-Haul, in a video statement. “We rely actually on inbound equipment to serve a lot of these customers so when the net is out, not in, it’s a little more difficult to serve these customers.”

Arrivals into the Bay Area were down 31% from March to December 2020, compared with the same time period in 2019.

More government lies about the environment exposed: there is no mass die-off of species.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. The California Academy of Sciences has conceded that in 2021, at least 70 new plant and animal species were discovered. “The new species include 14 beetles, 12 sea slugs, nine ants, seven fish, six scorpions, five sea stars, five flowering plants, four sharks, three spiders, two sea pens, one moss, one pygmy pipehorse, and one caecilian.” In 2020 a new species of whale was discovered off the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Now there is news that the giant sea bass–a fish widely reported to be on the verge of extinction by government-supported scientists–is actually thriving in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Mexico. The fish is commonly caught by Mexican fisherman and sold by the pound every day at Mexican fish markets.

To our surprise, we found giant sea bass everywhere in the fish markets and fishing grounds from our very first assessments. The fishmongers were never out of the fish; instead, they would ask us, “How many kilos do you need?” It was clear that for fishers in Mexico, the species is still common in the sea, and therefore, in their nets. It is still possible to find big fish up to 450 pounds 200 kilograms, and the average catch was around 26 pounds (12 kilograms).

British scientist Matt Ridley (pictured) has exposed popular claims that the world’s species are experiencing mass extinctions as gross exaggerations.

Chinese government raids dozens of homes at midnight, busses hundreds to “quarantine camps”

The Sun is reporting that “CHINESE authorities reportedly raided dozens of homes in the middle of the night and forced people onto buses to quarantine camps under the world’s strictest lockdown.” The Chinese government claims it is controlling one of its worst outbreaks in a single city since the beginning.

“The 13 million people living in the northern city of Xian have been banned from leaving their homes – even for essential reasons like buying food.”

“It is not known exactly how many people were ordered to leave during the midnight eviction, but one person reported seeing 30 buses, while another claimed up to a thousand people were moved, BBC News reports.”
“[S]tarving residents have been begging for food on social media.”

“State-owned newspaper Global Times reported there was a shortage of deliverymen as many were under quarantine themselves.”

Australian government locks down unvaccinated citizens, barring them from work or exercise

Australia has quickly become one of the greatest tyrannies in human history–supposedly in response to a disease “pandemic” that has (at most) a 3/10ths of 1% death rate for those infected.

PJ Media reports that citizens who fail to submit to government-sponsored COVID-19 injections are prohibited in one province from even going to work or exercising. They are locked in their homes 24/7. Those who defy the lockdowns will be arrested and taken to concentration camps.

India arrests citizens who cheered Pakistan’s victory over India in cricket match–for sedition

Uttar Pradesh, India. October. The Guardian reports that “Indian police have arrested seven Muslim youths for allegedly celebrating Pakistan’s victory over India in a cricket match.” The prospective charges: sedition, cyberterrorism and “promoting enmity among groups.”

“[F]ederal cabinet minister Sidharth Nath Singh, told NDTV news channel that Uttar Pradesh police would take the strictest possible action against anyone for exulting in India’s defeat in Sunday’s T20 World Cup cricket game in Dubai.”

Emails reveal government pushing reporters to smear scientists who criticize government COVID actions

“In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to “follow the science.” In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research.”

The emails show that in October 2020, Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci sought to compel media outlets to suppress, censor and ignore “the Great Barrington Declaration,” a statement by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya against blanket pandemic lockdowns. Kulldorff, Gupta and Bhattacharya favored a policy of protecting high-risk populations such as the elderly but not otherwise restricting most individuals.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “That didn’t please the lockdown consensus enforced by public-health officials. . . .” Collins and Fauci “used their authority to stigmatize dissenters and crush debate.” Collins and Fauci went into action smearing the Declaration and its signatories as fringe elements. Dr. Bhattacharya—one of the targets of the smears—said in a recent interview that Collins “basically said that we wanted the virus to spread – rip through the population. And Dr. Fauci said the same thing . . .”

Bhattacharya points out that “Dr. Collins sits on top of over $40 billion worth of money that go to other scientists to fund research. When he says he wants a devastating takedown, well, he has the resources to go find people to do that. And you can see from the strategy that they use, they essentially went to friendly press, spread their propaganda and lies about the Great Barrington Declaration in order to not engage with the ideas in it.” “[M]illions of people are starving as a consequence of lockdown. They didn’t want to address those harms. And so instead they engaged a propaganda campaign.”

Government-supporting media sources are struggling to maintain their “mass formation psychosis” in the wake of Dr. Malone interview

The phrase “mass formation psychosis” was widely searched for after the eminent Dr. Robert Malone was interviewed on the widely watched Joe Rogan podcast. Malone said that Twitter and other social media sites permanently deleted him due to “horizontal” collusion between all mainstream media and government information sources. Malone, the inventor of Mrna technology and a critic of COVID-19 mrna injection mandates, has been scrubbed from the internet establishment for disputing the government-imposed narrative.

Critical observers uniformly acknowledge that all major establishment media sources are on the same page regarding the push to promote Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 “vaccines” and deny the efficacy of natural immunity or non-vaxx treatments. But many do not recognize that government is secretly driving the narrative—even among seemingly private tech platforms.

It has recently been leaked that the US Dept. of Homeland Security is “working with” mass media platforms to get the platforms to push government-approved messaging regarding the alleged pandemic. Messaging which strays from the government narrative is described as “misinformation” and deleted. The US Congress is also pushing to openly pay for pro-government “journalism” even as “journalism” in other once-free nations is already paid for by government.

Overregulation is killing private medical practice

Devorah Goldman, writing in the Wall Street Journal, reports that her father’s rheumatology practice in Brooklyn has been swamped with patients from far-flung states because many other private practices have closed permanently.

Overregulation by medical authorities is destroying private medical practice.
In 1983, more than 75% of physicians owned their own practices. By 2018 that figure had dropped to 46%. Now, according to a 2020 survey by the Physicians Foundation, 12% of all U.S. doctors either closed their offices during the pandemic or were planning to do so within the year. Some 59% agreed that the pandemic would “lead to a reduction in the number of independent physician practices in their communities,” and half agreed that “hospitals will exert stronger influence over the organization and delivery of healthcare as a result” of the pandemic.
“[T]here are simply fewer places to seek care, and many of those that are available are bureaucratic mega-facilities.” Theodore Dalrymple lamented that government influence over medicine has been growing constantly. The UK government “now dictates conditions of work and employment, the number of hours worked, the drugs and other treatments that may be prescribed.” Doctors “are less and less members of a profession; instead, they are production workers under strict bureaucratic control.”
