White Fibrous Clots and VAERS Data Manipulation: A Call for Urgent Investigation

Introduction The safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) has been a cornerstone of public health messaging, yet alternative voices on platforms like Substack and X challenge this narrative with disturbing reports. Laura Kasner’s March 2025 Substack post, “A Horrifying Breakthrough in the WHITE FIBROUS CLOT Saga,” details claims by a scientific team led by retired organic chemist Greg Harrison, who analyzed white fibrous clots found by embalmer Richard Hirschman. These clots, reportedly distinct from typical blood clots, contain high phosphorus, sulfur, and tin, with low iron, magnesium, and potassium, and are hypothesized to stem from mRNA vaccine lipid nanoparticles. Concurrently, WelcomeTheEagle’s Substack, run by a self-described VAERS auditor, alleges systemic manipulation of VAERS data, including the deletion, alteration, and undercoding of adverse event reports, further obscuring…

Mainstream Media, Sinclair and Affective Misalignment in American Politics

The term “fake media,” popularized by President Donald Trump, has ignited a firestorm in American politics, encapsulating a battle over truth, trust and tribalism. Trump’s claims of media bias reflected his genuine intent to expose distortions in mainstream reporting, resonating with millions skeptical of institutional narratives. However, mainstream media, often controlled by centralized corporate entities like Sinclair Broadcast Group, acts as a major pillar of social psychosis, amplifying polarizing movements and narratives that drive societal division. While numerous issues contribute to polarization, many stem largely from mainstream media sources, whose emotionally charged counter-narratives to Trump fuel affective misalignment—where opposition to his perceived exaggerations leads to embracing equally manipulative propaganda. This dynamic has eroded bipartisan cooperation to near-zero, setting a dangerous precedent for democratic governance. Mainstream Media as a…

Progress and Situation with Accelerated Moving Events in Chicago

Introduction Accelerated Moving Events (AMEs) are a cornerstone of Chicago’s strategy to address homelessness, offering a streamlined process to connect unhoused individuals and families with permanent housing and support services. Initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, AMEs compress the housing process into a single day, allowing participants to view apartments, complete applications, and select furniture, all with the support of case managers and nonprofit partners. This article explores the progress, successes, challenges, and current situation of AMEs in Chicago, focusing on their impact on homeless encampments, the broader fight against homelessness, and the pivotal role played by former Ald. James Cappleman in their advocacy and design. Origins and Structure of AMEs AMEs emerged in 2020 as part of the Expedited Housing Initiative (EHI), a response to the heightened risks…

Underground Cities, Trillions Missing, and the 9/11 Gold Mystery: Exploring Catherine Austin Fitts’ Claims

In a conversation that continues to spark intrigue and speculation, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Catherine Austin Fitts made explosive claims to Tucker Carlson regarding the possibility of a secret underground city, built using trillions of unaccounted-for dollars. According to Fitts, this construction was planned for a “near extinction event,” and the groundwork was laid during the George W. Bush administration. Her allegations raise questions about missing funds, shadow government infrastructure, and even the mystery of the gold reportedly missing from beneath the World Trade Center after 9/11. Fitts’ Allegation: A Hidden City for the Elite? Fitts has long maintained that vast sums of U.S. government funds—into the trillions—have effectively vanished over the past several decades. In interviews and publications, she suggests that this money…

Why Our Administration Ceased Gain-of-Function Research: A Comprehensive Overview

The decision to cease Gain-of-Function (GoF) research in the United States was not abrupt, nor was it purely political—it was the result of a long and troubling accumulation of scientific, ethical, and procedural concerns. The tipping point came in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with mounting evidence suggesting the need for caution, accountability, and re-evaluation of high-risk biological experimentation. Two crucial sources—an unilaterally attended Congressional hearing in September 2022 and a long-classified MK-ULTRA document released in December 2024—reveal the context and catalysts that led to the policy shift. What is Gain-of-Function Research? Gain-of-Function research involves manipulating pathogens to enhance their properties, such as transmissibility, virulence, or host range. Though potentially useful for understanding disease progression and preparing vaccines, such work also carries grave biosafety risks, particularly when…

Navigating the Mental Health System: An Interview with Jason Page on Chicago Writes

In a compelling episode of Chicago Writes, a program hosted by the Chicago Writers Association, W.C. Turck sat down with Jason Page, the author of the Mental Hospital Survival Guide: How to Protect Yourself and Others from Abuse, now in its fourth edition.

Reimagining Farm-to-School: Aligning Local Food Systems with Make America Healthy Again

The recent decision by the Trump administration to defund the USDA’s Patrick Leahy Farm to School program, alongside cuts to other local food initiatives, has sparked debate about its alignment with the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) initiative. Critics argue that dismantling these programs, which connect schools with fresh, local produce, undermines efforts to improve child nutrition and community resilience. However, a closer look reveals that the defunding stems from a shift in priorities—fiscal restraint, skepticism of ideologically driven programs, and a focus on broader agricultural goals. While the Farm to School program has merits, it faces challenges like scalability and administrative complexity. This article explores why the program was defunded, its potential weaknesses, and long-term prospects to ensure healthy food access in schools while aligning with MAHA’s…

The CDC FOIA Office Closure: Legal Concerns and Prospects for FOIA Requests

Introduction In April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shuttered its entire Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office as part of a broader Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reorganization under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This unprecedented move, affecting approximately 22 staffers, has halted the CDC’s ability to process FOIA requests, leaving requesters with automated replies stating that the office is on administrative leave and unable to respond. This article explores the legality of the closure, its implications for transparency, and the prospects for FOIA requests moving forward, drawing on recent developments and expert analyses. Background: The HHS Reorganization and FOIA Office Layoffs On April 1, 2025, HHS initiated a mass reduction-in-force, cutting 10,000 employees across its agencies, including the CDC, Food and…

The Chicken Cull Controversy: How Misguided Policies and Public Fear Drove Egg Prices Skyward—and How the Current Administration Fixed It

The Avian Flu Panic and the Slaughter of Millions Since the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak began in February 2022, the U.S. poultry industry has been gripped by a crisis that sent egg prices soaring to unprecedented levels. Over 166 million birds, predominantly egg-laying hens, were culled in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. This mass slaughter was driven by a longstanding USDA policy of “stamping out,” which mandates the depopulation of entire flocks if even a single bird tests positive for HPAI. The policy, in place across multiple administrations, was rooted in fears that the virus could devastate the poultry industry and, in rare cases, pose a public health risk. However, the testing methods used to detect HPAI have faced scrutiny for their…
