Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
With the news that baseball legend Hank Aaron received the experimental Moderna mRNA injection about 2 weeks before his death at the age of 86, people are naturally inquiring as to whether long-time talk show host Larry King, who just died at the age of 87, also received one of the non-FDA approved experimental COVID mRNA shots? Larry King had reportedly been in the hospital due to the fact that he had tested positive for COVID19. Reporter Dave Jordan (@DJNYC1), a friend of Larry King's son, Larry King Jr., tweeted on January 15, 2021: "I just wrapped an interview with my friend La...

*"America in the Post-Freedom Era"* by Jeff Thomas "In June of 2015, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president of the US. At that time, his candidacy was looked upon as a joke, and indeed, well into the campaign in 2016, both Democrat and Republican politicians treated a win by Mister Trump as a ridiculous impossibility. Yet, at that time, I predicted that he’d win, as I believed that he would become an ideal tool for the Ruling Elite in their pursuit of far greater objectives than a mere presidency. It was clear at the time that Mister Trump was a textbook narcissist who ...
