There is a reason why we’re looking at this idiocy which sprang forth on Twit/X tonight, a full blown conspiracy theory, just like Athena popping out of Zeus’ head. That reason is to study how these CTs come into being. If you go out and ask the average American on the street, “Where was Barack Obama born?” a great many of them are going to tell you “Africa.” Why? Because Donald Trump made up this vicious birther conspiracy some years back and it’s the old adage come to life, “A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on.” With Trump back in office, CT is going to be all the rage. So learn how these things happen. Because you’re going to be seeing a lot of them. (Pssst: We don’t have an extradition treaty with Russia.)

This is why we are where we are. This right here. The Cillian account pushing this garbage has in his/her profile: “What’s the difference between conspiracy theory and the truth? Six months.” That’s straight out of Joseph Goebbels playbook.
Get ready to be bored to death because my mantra, which I may scream from time to time, or figure out how to write in blood on the internet, is going to be, “WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST DISINFORMATION IN REAL TIME.” We got here due to disinformation. Nothing else.
You see the insanity? Fauci is accused of killing more people than Hitler, when he isn’t busy torturing dogs, and he also supposedly made billions of dollars off of COVID. He didn’t make a dime beyond his usual salary, which is a good one due to his length of service, but it’s not billions.
But people believe this. I personally know a woman in California who believes the dog torturing and the grifting for billions gossip about Fauci. There are plenty of ignorant people like her who have demonized this man, because they don’t bother to check out what is gossip and hearsay. They just believe whatever they’re told. And Trump is the father of the Fauci lie, just like the birther lie, because he needed a scapegoat and fast.
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. That is the story of Anthony Fauci.
Dr. Fauci is a MAGA scapegoat. Joe Biden hoped the pardon would end this and for practical purposes, it will. But now there’s a new angle, the barter for Ukraine war CT, and there’s new life breathed into the Fauci hate.
It is appalling that America has sunk to this level.

Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year was catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Shocked I say, shocked!
PZ, call these liers out for what the are!
My congress critter will not even accept my emails. His name is Andy Harris. Trumpuplican extrordnaire.
The most disgusting part of this, to me is that Trump is the actual culprit responsible for the deaths of many Americans from COVID. I’m sure he also profited from the pandemic. SMH
It’s too bad that COVID didn’t kill off enough of the *right* people (mainly everyone who voted for Trump in 2016, in 2020 and, most importantly, in 2024).
This is sickening! What the hell is wrong with people? Know why the crime went down the last few years? Because a good number of thugs were locked up after Jan 6. They should be there for a good long time except for the fact we managed to end up with the head thug in the White House. These violent morons will be his street gangs, his brownshirts, his militia. We defeated these same people in the Civil War, and again in WWII. They keep coming back and they need to be stopped. It’s criminal that Rump has managed to eliminate many of the gains we’d made from the last two Dem Administrations with his ‘cut off our nose to spite our face’ actions in his two terms. His Sado-Populism (see Timothy Snyder YT talks) is not about the future but manipulating the past to serve his dark ends. He needs to be stopped.
Dr. Robert Redfield, appointed by Trump as head of the CDC during his first term, endorsed the same pandemic policies as Dr. Fauci. But MAGAts give him a pass, if they even know who he is. Typical MAGA hypocrisy.
Maybe there is an argument to be had for letting viruses run amok…take out the anti vaccine crowd. The only problem is the collector of dead whale heads isn’t going to provide them anymore for anyone. The avian flu is just around the corner.
Their imaginations are so wild, they could write action movies for Mark Wahlberg.
Would they take trump instead? I think Dr. Fauci will be in great demand once again.
