1/n Many thanks to @PamelaBrownCNN for hosting me on @CNNSitRoom explaining the recent history of H5N1 how it was introduced into the U.S. wild bird population in 2022; got introduced into hens and caused the price of eggs went up; then in early 2024 it transitioned into dairy cattle but transmission to humans was prevented through milk pasteurization. And now mink…

The two most damaging psyops in American history:
1) Peter Thiel, Jeffrey Epstein, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn et al working with the Russians to steal the 2016 election
2) Elon Musk buying Twitter to redpill enough people to steal the 2024 election
The PayPal Mafia is the problem.
This interview makes me sick. Where is Musk’s sympathy for Ukrainian civilians??
Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.
Watch every second of his response.
"We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing."
"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day."
"I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they're virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing."

Ten years on, the Brexiters plan to leave the EU and cosy up with the US looks even more disastrous and ill thought out. That their Brexit was boosted by Putin makes it even more historically catastrophic. We mustn’t forget the people who did this or let them near power again
Weird coincidence that I mention @wallaceme. Looks like Lord Ashcroft’s fluffer, doyenne of oligarchs, just happened to retweet a convicted fraudster to attack our journalism. Why? Because we constantly expose his old chums for their Brexit shenanigans bylinetimes.com/2026/06/23/w…

Scheduled for @CNNSitRoom tomorrow (Monday) around 10:20 AM eastern, to discuss H5N1 on an Utah mink farm over the summer, the risks to humans and why U.S. pandemic preparedness needs to up its game for one health issues and zoonotic spillover.

We are being “Starlinked”. Many accounts are complaining about their reach being hampered. X isn’t free media if it’s limiting our visibility.

I'd appreciate it if @elonmusk stopped shadowbanning everyone he disagrees with. I earned a blue check under Twitter and got more than 50K followers. Since Musk took over, I've paid his monthly feel but I've gained virtually no followers and Musk's algorithms ensure that I get almost no traffic.
@IAPonomarenko I've written two books about Trump and Russia(House of Trump, House of Putin and American Kompromat) and it goes back to 1980 when Russia first began to cultivate him. They own him. He was a stupendously bad businessman and they bailed him out again and again--over decades.

This is demonstrably true. Previously, each Vatnik Soup thread received between 300k and 5M impressions. Now, we're lucky if we get 100k.
Our annual views have dropped from 700M to 280M. Posts about Ukraine shared by accounts with millions of followers barely get any traction, whereas our more generic posts about AI, for example, can get millions of views.
Ukraine is still one of the hottest topics on this platform, yet voices supporting the country are being throttled, just like Starlink/Starshield was.

Elon claims Ukraine broke Starlink's rules by using it for drone strikes.
But Ukraine was using Starshield, the military version of Starlink. The Pentagon had signed contracts with SpaceX to provide thousands of Starshield terminals to Ukraine.
According to the Wall Street Journal and CBS News, Musk himself ordered the restrictions that disrupted Ukrainian drone operations.
Elon is deliberately mixing up Starlink and Starshield to shift the blame.
