Multiple datasets and scientific analyses show that masks are effectively useless vs. Covid. [Thread.]

“As you can see, except for a slight edge in October, masked districts fare 2-4x worse than un-masked districts.”
emilyburns.substack.com/p/case-rates-f…
“This pattern is remarkably similar to that visible in Emily Oster’s data from the 2020/21 school year... un-masked schools showed higher case rates early in the year, around October, but later in the year, case rates in masked schools vastly outstripped them."
Forced mask schools have consistently run parallel with mask optional schools or have even surpassed them in case rates, as @ianmSC shows in this chart compiled during the Omicron surge.
"Because the CDC assumes mask work (lol), they specifically instructed schools to treat possible transmission between two masked students differently, leading to contact tracers potentially mislabeling those who wore masks as 'primary' infections."

Fraud.
ianmsc.substack.com/p/yet-another-…
In a recent CDC study, the researchers used a *predictive model* to argue that case rates in mask mandate schools were lower than in partial mask schools when the *actual* case rates in partial mask schools were LOWER.👇
The U.K.'s Office for National Statistics corroborates scientific research that shows children who 'sometimes' wear masks have lower case rates than those who 'never' or 'always' wear them at work/school.🔻
Mask mandate states have zero case wave distinguishability from free states.
“Cloth masks do little to prevent the spread of COVID-19, or other airborne diseases, a new study finds. Researchers... found that 90 percent of particles could get through cloth masks, making them effectively useless during the pandemic.”
dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
“Tests characterizing breath particle concentration, breath volume, and ideal mask filtration efficiency were also performed"...

Here are the results. Pink and green are common masks worn by the general public.
Cloth vs. surgical vs. nothing. Essentially no difference.
Add to all of this that the highest mask compliance nations in the world (95%+ mask compliance) all see zero benefit from wearing them in reducing case rates: China, Hong Kong & South Korea.
Thus, at every level the mask mandate argument breaks down:

1. Laboratory examination of cloth & surgical masks
2. Examination of case rates in school/community settings
3. Interstate data b/w mask mandate and free states (U.S.)
4. Cross-national comparative data

🧵The Shadow Government: New Evidence the Biden Presidency Was Almost Entirely Run by 'Autopen'

“I'm going to get in so much trouble for saying all this. But these are the people who ran our country for the last four years.”

The shadow government is being dragged into the light. The disturbing developments about where our money has been going are flooding in on a daily basis.

But less forthcoming is the answer to a question that has been on Americans’ minds about a four-year absence of leadership that looks absolutely vacuous in relief to the vigorous and unrelenting Trump presidency: Who actually ran the Biden presidency?

A tantalizing lead has surfaced, courtesy of a report by the Heritage Foundation’s @OversightPR.

"Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency. We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature."

According to newly released evidence, nearly every document in the federal register bearing Joe Biden’s signature during his presidency was not signed by the man himself—but by an autopen.

The only known autopen exception? Biden’s letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.Image
Image
As you can see, the signature is not only different, but underlined.

You might recall that the letter itself was a bizarre hodgepodge of statements cobbled together into a “resignation letter” that did not fit the moment of a president who was about to lose his chance at re-election, as well as incur damage to his legacy.

So, did Joe Biden actually sign his resignation letter? Or was it signed for him? We may never know the truth. But it does raise the possibility that it is a forgery.

There could be serious legal ramifications if Joe Biden’s signature was “forged” by autopen to make presidential authorizations in name only.

We will unpack the legal ramifications of the development, including a consideration of whether such “executive decisions” are constitutional; delve into the historical background on the autopen and its use by U.S. presidents; and dig up extremely suggestive leads on who was actually running the Biden presidency in absentia via autopen.

My extended analysis of the signatures of “Joe Biden” at the federal register is that the claim that the Biden administration was largely run by “autopen” appears to hold up.Image
You can survey former President Joe Biden’s signatures at the Federal Register.

Here are samples taken at random for each year of Biden’s presidency.

House Oversight Project finds the "Biden presidency" was almost entirely run by autopen signature.

"We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency," says @OversightPR.

"All used the same autopen signature except for the the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature."

This is criminal. The Biden "presidency" didn't have a real president. People should go to jail for this.Image
@OversightPR Don't give me the "but Trump does it too!"

Here is what it looks like when Trump signs major pieces of legislation or executive orders. Get the difference?
I would contend that any Biden staffers who USURPED presidential authority (carried out major executive functions without explicit or documented presidential authorization) should go to prison for treason against the United States.

The American people did not elect STAFFERS to run the United States. They elected a president and deserved one. But that is exactly what they did not get under the sham Biden "presidency." It is ELECTION FRAUD.

America and the European Union are at a crossroads.

The European Union needs America. But America does not need the European Union.

But it's not just U.S. taxpayer support for NATO that the European Union needs to provide for its own security. It needs America's military presence and warfighting ability.

The great majority of Europeans are unwilling to fight in wars to defend their nations from foreign aggressors.

One reason is because the EU has imported millions of migrants who have no loyalty to the governments or interest in preserving national cultures.

If you compare non-EU European states with EU member states you'll find a shocking difference: 61% of the former are willing to fight in wars, as opposed to just 32% in the latter, according to 2024 Gallup polling.

Popular support for EU member states is crumbling. This is why the European Union needs an external enemy to focus on, such as Russia, to "rally around the flag."

But in the EU's case, it is the Ukraine flag. That cause is wearing thin.

While many believe Russia is a strong and united foe that threatens Europe, this is a false perception. Only 32% will say on the record that they will fight in wars, while 20% say they won't and 48% say 'they don't know.' (It should be noted that it is illegal in Russia to say that you won't fight in a war. This is one cause for discrepancies you might find on Reddit and elsewhere that shows higher support in Russia.)

The United States has been experiencing its own collapse in popular support, which the Trump administration is attempting to reverse. Support for fighting in wars has been dropping in the U.S. since the first Gulf War, but it fell even further under Biden. Gallup polling shows that only 41% of Americans would be open to fighting in wars.

This has led to a crisis in military morale and a drop in recruitment. It will be a major challenge for the Trump administration to restore America's willingness to fight.

The Trump administration has a chance to accomplish this task because it is rejecting the disastrous path that the European Union has taken.

By securing the border and limiting foreign migration, reforming the military so that it focuses on warfighting, respecting the constitutional rights of citizens, and seeking a foreign policy of "peace through strength," the Trump administration can return America to its rightful place as a strong and great nation.Image
Image

Ed. Note: In addition to summarizing EU-US relations, this post attempts to clarify posts misrepresenting Russians' willingness to fight in wars. These "polls" tend to grossly overestimate support and tend to falsely lionize Russia.

Secondly, there are a number of articles, such as by CNN, that seek to downplay America's support for NATO. These stories attempt to reject President Trump's claims that the US pulls the weight for NATO by arguing the US only pays a small percentage of the defense budget — namely, 15.8%.

However, this is only counting DIRECT spending and it is not accounting for INDIRECT spending that supports NATO's mission. The U.S. has by far the largest military budget of any NATO member and has extensive military operations in Europe.Image

More background: NATO's constant expansion beyond its foundational mission of promoting freedom and defending Europe from the former Soviet Union. Image

NEW: @ElonMusk really has George Soros figured out.

"George Soros is a systems hacker. He is a genius arbitrager. He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a non-profit then lobby politicians to send a ton of money to that non profit so you can take what might be a $10M donation and leverage it into a $1B NGO."

"Then the government continues to fund it every year, and it will have a nice sounding name like 'The Institute for Peace,' but really it's a grafting machine."

BINGO.

A State within A State: The Progressive Left's 'Shadow Government' Revealed

"The system of NGOs, charities, and trusts constitutes an unaccountable 'parallel government' designed to transform the US into a globalist fiefdom run by privileged elites."
thekylebecker.com/p/a-state-with…
‘A State within a State.’

That’s what Mikhail Gorbachev called the KGB, the Russian version of the “deep state,” after the August coup of 1991.

The former Soviet premier invoked the term with the triumphal declaration: “There will no longer be a state within a state.”

Such were the heady times of the early 1990s in Russia after the formal demise of the U.S.S.R.

But the people’s victory was short-lived. The KGB, led by the ‘Grey Cardinal’ Col. Vladimir Putin himself, was staffed with survivors who were bent on adapting and eventually conquering the fledgling Russian ‘democratic’ state.

In the 1970s, the United States had its own version of ‘perestroika’: The “Halloween Massacre.” That’s when the Carter administration conducted a mass purge of CIA personnel on October 31, 1977, led by Admiral Stansfield Turner, the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The new administration pared down 20% of the U.S. human intelligence (HUMINT) assets in the Intelligence Community’s workforce. This included 649 jobs cut through attrition, 154 forced retirements, and 17 outright firings. The layoffs targeted seasoned covert officers—some with roots back to the CIA’s 1947 founding—earning the event its grim moniker from the press and outraged insiders.

Seem familiar?

The Trump administration came into office with a whirlwind. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), under the stewardship of tech billionaire Elon Musk, has shined a bright light on the “shadow government” that was running the United States during the ineffectual and disastrous Biden administration.

DOGE’s forced transparency has unleashed unparalleled caterwauling in the establishment press, which has only furthered suspicions of the deeply embedded shadow government that subsists on waste, fraud, and abuse in the U.S. government.

More provocative than the line items DOGE has singled out for elimination, such as funding Sesame Street in Iraq and transgender surgeries in India, is the astounding realization that the entire U.S. system of NGOs, charities, and trusts constitutes an unaccountable “parallel government” that is designed to engineer consensus and transform the United States into a globalist vassal state run by privileged elites.

@DataRepublican, who runs an outstanding website where citizen journalists can research the vast web of corruption between U.S. agencies and so-called Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), put it this way:

“I’ve said it again, I'll say it again. Taxpayer-funded NGOs function as a parallel government. Even worse, many sitting members of Congress are directly involved in them. They see themselves as the real government, prioritizing debates with other bureaucrats on the global stage over serving the people they represent. This is why critical issues like healthcare, education, and help for Helene victims are consistently neglected.”

This is a point I’ve made repeatedly as well: If you want to stop the transition of the United States into a post-constitutional oligarchy run by unelected elites and bureaucratic apparatchiks, stop the U.S. government’s funding and sheltering of billionaire trusts, fraudulent “charities,” and so-called Non-Governmental Organizations.Image
The Origin of the ‘Shadow State’ in the United States

If you want to trace the origin of the “shadow government” in the United States, it is imperative to start with the Wilson Administration.

Woodrow Wilson, a former Princeton president and progressive idealist, entered office in 1913 with a vision to remake America—and the world—through centralized control and expert rule. His administration marked a pivot from constitutionally limited government to a system where unelected insiders dictate public policy in the shadows and engineer public “consensus” to gain an ill-gotten stamp of imprimatur.

If we want to understand the development of the “parallel government” in America, let us take a look at the premier “Non-Governmental Organizations” that have led to the growth, development, and installation of a “state within a state.”

George Soros and the Trump 'Counter-Color Revolution'

"Donald Trump is now carrying out his own ‘counter-color revolution.’ It’s red, white, and blue."

Billionaire George Soros has maintained a long-standing, secretive alliance with the U.S. foreign policy establishment—including USAID—in a corrupt partnership to act as an “agent of chaos” to bring about regime change in nations around the world.

Soros infiltrated the foreign influence machinery crafted by the Reagan administration in the 1980s to further the goal of promoting “anti-communism” in Central and Eastern Europe, before co-opting that same machinery after the formal demise of the Soviet Union in order to propagate globalist objectives.

America was on the brink of succumbing to this whole-of-society plan to radically alter the nation into an unrecognizable, post-constitutional republic.

But, miraculously, Donald Trump’s unlikely election victory in 2024 marks a turning point in American history.

Due to Big Tech reforms at social media platforms like X, now under the ownership and stewardship of populist, free-speech advocate Elon Musk, we can start to build our own consensus on what went wrong and how we can dramatically course correct.

Let’s reflect on how the nation was brought to the edge of tyranny, as well as explore actionable ways to reform the institutions of America so that we can prevent the ultimate “colored revolution” of fundamentally transforming the United States.

But first, let us take a detailed look at the “Soros empire” — how this radical billionaire spread his sprawling network around the globe, and how Donald Trump is carrying out his own “counter-color revolution” to untangle this web and free the American people from its malign influence.Image
The Origins of Soros’s Influence: A Fusion of Wall Street and State Department Interests

George Soros established the Open Society Foundations in 1979, initially as a financial maneuver benefiting his heirs. However, in the early 1980s, Soros aligned himself with the Reagan administration's newly formed National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID to operate as a key conduit for U.S. intelligence efforts aimed at dismantling the Soviet Union.

This collaboration, first realized under the guise of promoting civil society, allowed Soros to leverage his financial acumen in currency speculation while ensuring alignment with U.S. strategic interests.

As @MikeBenzCyber explains:

"Soros was speculating on the currencies of countries in Central and Eastern Europe while he had partnerships with the State Department in advance knowledge of operations to overturn those countries’ governments. This was the ultimate version of insider trading."

This is a critical analytical link between Soros and his sprawling empire:

"[Soros] basically had the ultimate insider trading, which is that he knew what countries were going to be toppled and therefore what would happen to their currency and could speculate through his hedge fund activities way in advance of that.

And then beyond that, you also have the benefits of anti-communism from the stuff he was doing because all of these communist countries held collectively trillions of dollars, especially with Russia of publicly held assets. The moment you become a private economy, all of those assets go up in a fire sale to London and Wall Street stakeholders. That is not only did they get to do the Forex speculation, not only did they get the Chamber of Commerce proceeds, but then they also got to dumpster dive at bargain basement prices for all the formerly federally held, publicly held assets of the people who lived in those countries, so that George Soros and the Harvard Endowment and all these civil society people could leverage those financial arms to gobble up the assets."

That's why when George Soros says he built his empire in the shadow of the former Soviet Empire, that's where that empire comes from.

Or you can watch George Soros himself explain it.

“When the Soviet Empire collapsed… I moved in and picked up the pieces… So this is how the Soros Empire is replacing the Soviet Empire,” he said.

The end of the Cold War saw Soros emerge as one of the primary financiers of post-Soviet transitions, enabling Western financial interests—especially those tied to the hedge fund community—to acquire massive stakes in privatized industries of formerly communist nations. This alignment of incentives between Wall Street and Washington cemented Soros as a linchpin of global regime change operations.
The Role of Open Society Foundations and USAID in Color Revolutions

Through partnerships with USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, Open Society Foundations seeded activist networks, opposition parties, and media outlets across post-Soviet states. These tactics became evident during the "color revolutions" of the early 2000s, particularly in Serbia (2000), Georgia (2003), and Ukraine (2004), where OSF-funded groups played pivotal roles in orchestrating mass protests and facilitating political upheavals.

While framed as efforts to promote democracy, their activities have actively shaped global political landscapes, particularly through the engineering of "color revolutions" in post-Soviet nations and, more recently, through attempts to influence domestic U.S. politics. The profound impact of these operations highlights how foreign regime change tactics have been redirected toward suppressing domestic populist movements, raising serious concerns about sovereignty and democratic accountability.

@KanekoaTheGreat highlights this in the case of Internews, an OSF partner:

"Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation in the 1990s to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s."

In Georgia, OSF-funded Rustavi-2 TV was instrumental in galvanizing support for the Rose Revolution, with former Internews director Marc Behrendt acknowledging:

"Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets."

A similar pattern followed in Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, where OSF-backed Telekritika became a key outlet in opposing the pro-Russian government.

These “colored revolutions” exemplified the formula: Soros-funded civil society groups, foreign-trained activists, and media operations combined to create an environment ripe for political turnover aligned with Western strategic goals.

These tactics are presented as promoting “democracy,” whereas the goal is actually for globalists to impose a “rules based order” that is dictated by unelected transnational elites. It is not simply George Soros and his network promoting such goals, but the entire vast network of radical “philanthropy” groups, ranging from the Ford Foundation to the Rockefeller Foundation to the Gates Foundation.
