🚨 Actor Terrence Howard just stunned Bill Maher with a barrage of jaw-dropping claims.

Howard held nothing back: from ivermectin and cancer to JFK to “breaking the buck” rituals inside the entertainment industry.

What he said during this podcast will leave you speechless.

🧵 THREADImage
📍Bookmark this post — it might be the wildest collection of clips we’ve ever packed into one thread.

Are you ready for these?
It began with a simple but chilling question.

On Club Random, Terrence Howard leaned in and asked what many have quietly wondered since RFK Jr. entered office:

“Did they pull something out on him to make him change his stance?”

Howard didn’t hesitate. He wanted to know what happened to the man he once met—the one who had been so strongly against vaccines like MMR.

“What happened to him, man? RFK. No, what happened to him?” he said. “He was so against MMR vaccines, so against that. And then he gets into the office——and I’ve seen him, I’ve met him.”

“Did they pull something out on him to make him change his stance? Or.....”

Bill Maher didn’t offer a defense. Instead, he gave a glimpse into how Washington wears people down.

“Well, you know, as Mario Cuomo used to say, you run for office in poetry, you govern in prose. You know, once you get in, you know, once you are the sheriff things are a little different,” Maher said.

He suggested that even getting confirmed might have required RFK Jr. to say things he didn’t truly believe.

“First of all, just to get confirmed, he probably had to say a few things that he’s not completely on the page with.”

Once you’re in, Maher implied, survival demands compromise.
The conversation shifted, but the underlying theme stayed the same—how the systems in place aren't what they seem.

Howard opened up about his view of vaccines, painting a darker picture of their purpose.

“The entire process that they’re working on, it’s not to build humanity up. I don’t see it. It’s more so to tear us down,” he said.

Maher pressed him: “Who are we talking about?”

Howard didn’t miss a beat.

“I’m still talking about the government as a whole, either Democrat or Republican," he said. "Because if you go back to, like, for me, when the vaccines first were coming out, and I was talking about—not the COVID vaccine, just me dealing with my children—about, am I going to do vaccines to give them in school? And I was like, no, I don’t want to give them the MMR and all of that.”

Maher agreed: “They don’t need it now.”

Howard then shared a little-known shift that he believes changed everything about vaccines—and their effects.

“No! And when we were kids back in 1969 when I was born, and they gave me the shot, it was delivered with duck embryo DNA. Then in 1970, when they got the abortion clinics, they started using human DNA.”

He explained the critical difference:

“The duck embryo DNA would not bond. It would deliver the vaccine, it would deliver the little protein that was necessary, but it didn’t have any match to your DNA, so it would be taken out of the body. But because they’re using human DNA cells from the abortion clinics, those now bond into our cells and try to bond with it.”

According to Howard, the consequences of that change are now visible everywhere.

“That’s why we have all the psoriasis now. Did you see that much psoriasis back in the ’80s? Back when you were—when I was a child—I didn’t see it.”

Now, back to the story you came for. Image
The deeper they went, the more the conversation exposed how little trust remains in major industries—starting with Big Pharma.

Maher explained how pharmaceutical companies don’t necessarily discard failed or dangerous drugs.

“It’s also a known fact that when they come up with a drug, and it doesn’t work on one thing—or sometimes because it works too well, in other words, it kills you—they don’t throw it away exactly. Because that’s bad money after good. Okay,” Maher said.

He continued, “What they do is they repurpose it. They do that many times. You know, it didn’t work on cancer, but we got a whole stockroom of it. No, I’m sure it’s not quite like that. But it is suspicious to me.”

Howard didn’t miss the opening. He stepped in with a bold claim that turned the conversation toward cancer treatment itself.

“What made the cancer go away was the ivermectin, the antiparasitics, all of those things that they were saying, ‘Oh, that you give to dogs,’ things of that nature,” Howard said.

He explained why he believes cancer isn’t simply a random mutation, but something cells naturally fight against.

“Because cancer, I don’t believe—and from looking at it—a cancer isn’t just some deformity that happens to a given cell. Correct. Cells have a fight against it.”

To Howard, the answers were never as far away as we were told—they were just hidden.
But Maher wasn’t done swinging.

In a moment that stunned even the most skeptical listeners, he turned his fire directly at the left—and their demonization of ivermectin during COVID.

Maher laid it out as simply as anyone could.

“The fact that it was demonized by the left is one of the things that I would say, I could come up with a larger list of things that, you know when people are like, oh you know why aren't you just all on our team?”

“Because your team does some shitty stuff too.”

He called out the nonsense behind pretending ivermectin was somehow evil.

“And pretending that ivermectin was somehow evil, it wasn’t evil. It won the Nobel Prize in 2015.”

“They say it cured probably more people [than] except penicillin.”

Maher kept pressing the obvious question that so many refused to ask.

“Okay, was it crazy to think it could work on Covid?”

“Because, again, we’re all individuals. This one-size-fits-all medical treatment bugs me.”

In an era when questioning the narrative could get you canceled, Maher made it painfully clear why trust in "the science" was never blind—or deserved.
From the decay of medicine, the conversation took aim at another broken system: America's poisoned food supply.

Maher didn’t mince words.

“I just think that when money gets involved, they will find a way to manipulate seeds or—you know—they do it with our food supply is shit,” he said.

He explained how natural diversity in food was sacrificed for corporate profits.

“There used to be like so many different kinds of wheat, but because of—the economics. And it was more economical.”

Howard took it one step further.

“And that’s where Monosat [Monsanto] came in. They’re just keeping the same...”

Once money became the mission, Howard and Maher agreed, food stopped being nourishment—and started becoming another industrial product.
But the darkest revelations were still ahead.

This one will stay with you, especially after connecting the dots on Harvey Weinstein and P. Diddy.

That’s when Howard opened up about a disturbing reality that he said still lingers behind the glitz of Hollywood—the old practice of “breaking the buck.”

He described a brutal method from the days of slavery:

“They would tie him to a log or barrel, and a bunch of the overseers would rape him. When he walked around with the slaves, now he didn’t have the confidence. His whole—he was broken. And it was called breaking the buck.”

According to Howard, that system never truly ended—it just adapted to the modern entertainment industry.

“That’s still taking place.”

Today, he said, young artists are still pressured into submission.

“They go and see someone, and they tell them, ‘Okay, yeah, you can have a deal. Perform fellatio on me and you get your deal.’”

Howard pointed to artist Petey Pablo, who he says tried to expose what was happening—and paid a steep price.

“He was kicked out of the music business. No radio station would play his stuff. You look for Petey Pablo—he’s not around anymore.”
The shadows got even darker when the conversation turned to the infamous Diddy parties.

Maher cracked a nervous joke when Howard rummaged through his bag.

“Uh oh. Well, this is how it started at the Diddy parties. Yeah. The guy reaches into a bag, and the next thing you know, you’ve got somebody’s d*ck up your butt,” Maher joked.

He kept pressing the point, asking if Howard could believe who showed up at those parties—mentioning Justin Bieber by name.

Howard didn’t laugh it off.

“Yeah, but he shouldn’t have been there at 14,” he said, shifting the mood back to something dead serious.

Howard made it clear that even if a child is assaulted, it doesn’t take away their manhood.

“If some child is r*ped, it doesn’t take it [man card] away,” he said.

Maher asked him to explain: “What is man card meaning?”

Howard replied, “The man card is your integrity, your dignity,” before quipping, “It’s your butt.”

Maher laughed, teasing, “Oh wait, is it your integrity, or is it your butt?”

Howard shot back, “That [your butt] is your integrity. That’s because that goes to your intestines.”

Maher closed the moment with a final jab: “My man card is never expired, okay? … I don’t think my butt has anything to do with my man card.”
As the conversation wound down, Howard introduced one final WILD theory—one that tied the deep state, the Fed, and the JFK assassination together.

Howard asked Maher about JFK:

“Did you hear what I heard about what got him killed?”

Maher answered carefully.

“Oh, I think we all know generally what got him killed, but what’s your theory?”

Howard answered without hesitation.

“The night before he had signed an executive order, ordering that the Federal Reserve would no longer be printing the dollars, that the U.S. government will now print the dollars.”

Maher pushed back slightly.

“The Federal Reserve is the U.S. government.”

Howard corrected him.

“The Federal Reserve is a separate entity.”

He connected JFK’s fate to another president who challenged the same system.

“What I’ve researched and found, it was comparable to what happened to Abraham Lincoln. He wanted to do the same thing. Start printing money himself, instead of having the Federal Reserve.”

Howard explained why this battle over money mattered.

“Say Congress needs $20 billion—they print the $20 billion, but they never print up the interest. So they were always going to be in debt.”

In Howard’s view, JFK and Lincoln both tried to free America from that endless debt trap—and both paid the ultimate price.

Your nerves don't tell your brain that something hurts.

They send energy, and that energy can be redirected.

A little girl's legs had hurt every day for 7 years. Not one minute of relief. Then her mom stuck a patch on her. Within seconds she was sobbing:

"Mom, it's gone. It's completely gone."

This was no ordinary patch. It's closer to an antenna — and it came out of a military project. 🧵
A five-foot antenna and an 80-pound backpack. That’s what one man on every deployed Navy SEAL team had to haul out of a plane in 2012, and if that antenna broke on the jump, the team couldn’t communicate back.

Mike Hammond wasn’t trying to build a wellness product. He was a serial entrepreneur fresh off a company exit when a friend from business school asked him to invest in a military antenna project out of Utah. The mission: shrink that five-foot rig into something a soldier could actually carry.

They did it. In Mike’s words, “they basically shrunk that five foot antenna down to the size of a credit card by shifting it to work on electrical microcurrents instead of magnetic fields.”

Then came the part that matters for you: your body runs on those same microcurrents. It’s the current keeping your heart beating while you read this. And when something hurts, your nerves fire that same energy up to your brain.

The patch is, quite literally, an antenna for it. Mike explains: “when your nerves create that energy that goes up to your neural pathway to the brain, when it hits our patch, it’s easier for that energy to go into the patch instead of up to the brain.”

You can feel it happening. Put it on and the patch gets warm. “Well, that’s your energy going into the patch. That’s why it warms up.”

No drugs enter your body. Nothing shocks your nerves like a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit. And after five clinical trials, Mike says the results keep repeating: “it’s going to work on 85% of people, most are going to have results within 15 minutes and the average decrease is going to be over 60%.”

He adds: “It’s actually floored our doctors how similar every single trial’s been, even with different types of elements.”

And the track record at scale, according to Mike: “we’ve sold over 800,000 of these in the last few years and we haven’t had anyone call us with side effects because we’re not putting anything into the body.”
Tired of chronic discomfort slowing you down? Back, knees, shoulders, that time of the month. You don’t have to keep reaching for pills or messy creams.

Signal Relief is a reusable, drug-free patch with patented micro-antenna technology. When your body fires those frantic signals to your brain, the patch quietly intercepts them, so you feel relief, often in just minutes.

Clinically tested, lasts up to a full year, and backed by a 45-day money-back guarantee.

You’ve got nothing to lose but the ache.

How many times have you heard someone say: “I got the flu shot, and I still got the flu anyway”?

Bill Maher says he once got the flu shot and “immediately” came down with the flu.

Lara Trump’s mother had an even worse experience. As a nurse, she got the flu shot every year—and “every time [she’d] ever gotten it, [she’d] get the flu immediately after it.”

Now, she doesn’t get it anymore.

Why do so many people get sick after the flu shot?

This thread explores why that happens—and what really happens inside the body right after a vaccine. 🧵
For decades, vaccines have been marketed as “safe and effective.”

No questions. Nothing else to consider. Safe and effective. Full stop.

But a mountain of buried medical research and endless reports from the vaccine-injured show a very different pattern—one that has repeated for more than a century.

In disease after disease, across multiple countries and multiple eras, vaccines have a weird habit of triggering or worsening the very illnesses they are supposed to be preventing.

Strange.

This occurrence isn’t fringe. It’s documented, replicated, and historically well known.

But millions of people—doctors, teachers, parents, friends—pretend it isn’t.

And even when they do offer a protective effect for some disease, they can leave your immune system weakened and vulnerable to other infections that can end up killing you. Just look at what happened in Guinea-Bissau.

You've heard of Flock cameras, but have you heard of NEMA nodes? Those unassuming little plugs on virtually every streetlight in America, silently turning your city's lighting grid into an always-on, AI-powered surveillance mesh that knows exactly where you sleep, drive, and walk... every single night.

What started as 'smart energy saving' has morphed into the backbone of a nationwide tracking system — powering cameras, sensors, and data fusion that governments and tech giants can tap into with a few clicks. No warrants needed when the infrastructure is already watching.

Tonight, @zeeemedia pulls back the socket on NEMA nodes: how they fit into the bigger surveillance grid, and why your local streetlight might know more about you than your own phone. 🧵
Flock cameras became a household name for a reason. The license plate reader network has been tied to documented cases of police officers misusing it to stalk women, and researchers have demonstrated how easily the systems can be hacked and abused, with reports suggesting predators have exploited that weakness.

But while public attention stayed on the cameras, a quieter buildout was happening overhead. Modern LED streetlights across America are being fitted with NEMA control nodes, small modules mounted on top of the fixture. In their simplest form, these are just photocells that turn the light on at dusk and off at dawn. But the newer generation are smart lighting controllers that let a municipality or utility monitor the light, dim it remotely, detect failures, and manage energy use.

The concern being raised is what else they can carry. Modern nodes can include wireless communication, and while the node itself generally does not contain a camera, many are being installed with the ability to add camera capabilities later. The infrastructure goes in first. The sensors come after.

The scale is already significant. In Washington D.C. alone, roughly 75,000 streetlights have reportedly been upgraded with advanced Internet of Things capable nodes. Much of this buildout accelerated during the COVID lockdowns, when infrastructure went up across cities while residents were told to stay home, and most of it went unnoticed.

A registered nurse with 30 years of experience treating chronic pain says she saw “TEN TIMES” the positive effects after combining DMSO with castor oil for her peripheral neuropathy.

Castor oil already has anti-inflammatory properties.

But adding DMSO is where she says it “got interesting.”

That’s because DMSO “isn’t just a treatment, it’s a carrier,” Danielle Minetti explained.

“It can pull medications and nutrients right through the skin barrier deep into the body.”

When Danielle combined it with castor oil, she says the results increased “ten times.”

DMSO acted as the delivery system, carrying the castor oil deeper into the areas where she needed relief most.

But DMSO’s potential extends far beyond peripheral neuropathy.

And if you’re one of the 5 million Americans living with carpal tunnel syndrome, this is where the DMSO story gets really interesting.

Because it turns out carpal tunnel may not be caused by overuse after all. 🧵
Somewhere between the wrist pain that shows up after years of typing and the keyboard sitting under your fingers right now, there’s a design decision nobody remembers making.

It wasn’t an accident. It was a deliberate engineering choice made to solve a mechanical problem.

But that problem that stopped mattering almost a century ago. And the fix that’s still shaping our hands today has far outlived it.

Early typewriters had a real problem: type two adjacent keys too quickly and the mechanism would jam.

The fix was mechanical, not electronic. Spread the commonly paired letters as far apart as possible so fingers physically couldn’t hit them fast enough to jam the machine.

That layout is the same one you’re using right now.Image
That was over a century ago.

Mechanical jamming stopped being a problem once electric typewriters showed up. Computers can’t jam at all.

But the keyboard never changed. Image

YouTuber Dan Schaeffer says he “completely cleared” his sinuses by combining DMSO, purified water, and colloidal silver into a nasal spray.

One squirt up each nose twice a day, and the results were “amazing.”

“No pressure, no nothing.”

Dan’s experience is not an isolated one.

In 1992, Russian researchers found that treating children with sinusitis using a 10% DMSO solution followed by local oxygenation provided complete relief in 49 of 52 cases.

DMSO is a cheap substance you can typically find online for under $30.

Turns out it can do much more for your respiratory system than just clear your sinuses. 🧵
Most people think respiratory infections are something you just have to “ride out.”

You get congested. Your throat hurts. Your sinuses clog. Maybe it turns into a cough, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe it moves into your chest, maybe it doesn’t.

So you take a decongestant, stock up on tissues, drink fluids, wait a few days, and hope it passes.

But that entire model skips one of the most important parts of the story:

Where many respiratory infections actually begin.Image
Respiratory viruses don’t typically start as deep lung infections.

They often begin in the upper airway—the nose, sinuses, throat, and nasopharynx.

That matters because the early stage of the illness may be happening in areas that are much easier to reach than the lungs.

In other words, by the time people are talking about bronchitis, pneumonia, oxygen levels, and hospital care, they may have already missed the window of opportunity.Image

Are flavor enhancers used by nearly every major food brand being developed with cells derived from an aborted baby?

Tonight’s special report presents shocking evidence tracing the dark history of these additives and the powerful companies operating behind the label.

Most people have never heard of HEK293 cells. And two reassuring words—“natural flavors”—are concealing a disturbing story the food industry hoped you would never uncover. 🧵
HEK293 is a human cell line originally derived in the early 1970s from kidney tissue taken from a single fetus, believed to have come from an aborted pregnancy.

The cells are used as laboratory tools, not food ingredients.

Researchers can engineer them to express human taste receptors. When a chemical compound activates one of those receptors, the cells produce a measurable signal showing whether a person may perceive it as sweet, bitter, salty, or cooling.

That allows laboratories to screen thousands of potential flavor compounds without putting each one through a human tasting panel.

Senomyx, a biotechnology company that developed flavor enhancers and taste modulators, described this process in its patents. The patents shown in the report identify HEK293 as a preferred cell line for assays designed to find compounds that produce or modify sweet taste.

The cells remain in the laboratory.

“The cells themselves were not added to food products,” Maria explained. Senomyx maintained that no fetal cells or tissue entered finished consumer products.

That distinction answers what a food physically contains.

It does not settle whether the process used to develop it is ethically acceptable.

Supporters argue that HEK293 has been reproduced in laboratories for decades and is now far removed from the original abortion. They point to its value in medical and scientific research, especially when no suitable alternative exists.

@zeeemedia rejects that calculation.

“It doesn’t matter how many years it’s been since that point, that child was still murdered.”

For people who share that conviction, the question is not simply whether fetal material remains in a soda, cereal, vaccine, or medication.

It is whether that product was created using knowledge obtained through a cell line they believe should never have existed.

The dispute does not end with the final ingredient list.

It begins inside the research process—and the next problem is where that process disappears.
Health insurance in America is broken.

Over 200,000 Americans go bankrupt because of medical bills every year—and many of them already had insurance. On average, 20% of claims are denied, leaving families stuck paying massive out-of-pocket costs after spending thousands on premiums.

But there’s an alternative.

CrowdHealth is a community-powered model that has helped members fund over 40,000 medical bills at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.

So far, 30,000+ members have been helped, saving an estimated $73 million in medical costs.

CrowdHealth isn’t insurance. It’s a way to step outside the broken system and take control of your healthcare.
