Did King Charles just die from cancer at the age of 75?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : King Charles III Just Died From Cancer!
Some people are claiming that King Charles III just died from cancer at the age of 75! Here are just some examples:
TRACKER DEEP : BREAKING: SOURCE REPORTS KING CHARLES HAS DIED AFTER SUCCUMBING TO PROSTRATE CANCER AT THE AGE OF 75
US Civil Defense News : 🚨🚨🚨Update: British King Charles III has died of cancer at age 75!! 🔥🔥🔥
US Civil Defense News : 🚨Update: The Royal Family is saying the news of King Charles death is still not public or ‘official.’ They are still planning a major news conference soon…
THE NAIROBIYAN™ : Who will takeover as the king or queen now that King Charles III has died
Ghost Ezra : BREAKING: SOURCE REPORTS KING CHARLES HAS DIED AFTER SUCCUMBING TO PROSTATE CANCER AT THE AGE OF 75
If King Charles III actually died from any cause, it would have officially announced on the official website, and on the BBC. Yet, there has been no such announcement.
On the other hand, the UK Embassy in Ukraine officially announced that King Charles is not dead:
News about King Charles III death is fake
Fact #2 : King Charles III Death Announcement Is Fake
Other people are sharing what appears to be an official announcement by Buckingham Palace, which states simply:
THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE BY ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS
The King passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon.
Monday, 18th March 2024
Even though this announcement was dated today – Monday, 18 March 2024, it was not posted by Buckingham Palace. We also know that it’s fake, because:
The announcement does not appear to be formatted properly as previous official statements.
Statements issued by Buckingham Palace would not be labelled as issued by Royal Communications.
Fact #3 : King Charles III Does Not Have Prostate Cancer
Here’s another clue why this is a fake claim – King Charles does not have prostate cancer.
On 5 February 2024, Buckingham Palace issued a statement informing the public that when King Charles underwent a procedure for benign prostate enlargement, his doctors discovered an unspecified cancer.
During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.
Buckingham Palace declined to reveal what type of cancer King Charles was diagnosed with, and would only confirm that it was not prostate cancer.
No further details are being shared at this stage, except to confirm that His Majesty does not have prostate cancer.
Fact #4 : No One Offered Any Evidence
Quite a number of people are claiming that an unnamed “source” reported that King Charles died from prostate cancer. However, none of them actually offered any evidence such a source exists.
Interestingly, this rumour appears to have first appeared in Russian media, instead of the notoriously inquisitive and free media in the United Kingdom!
Russia’s Gazeta, for example, reported on its Telegram channel that Russian media reported King Charles III died, only to later update it with an announcement that:
Buckingham Palace told TASS that Charles III is alive. He continues to perform work duties and engage in private affairs.
Fact #6 : Rumour Came Right After Major Announcement Fake News
Coincidentally (or perhaps not), this rumour came right after people falsely claimed that the British Royal Family told people to look out for an impending major announcement.
Fact #7 : This Is Just Royal Family Fake News!
This appears to be yet another example of fake news about the British Royal family, like these examples:

Did the British Royal Family just say there will be a major announcement soon?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Royal Family Will Make A Major Announcement Soon!
Some people are claiming that the British Royal Family will make a major announcement soon! Here are just some examples:
Global Eye News : The British Royal Family has said there will be a Major Announcement at any moment.
SR ⁶⁹ : The British Royal Family has said there will be a Major Announcement at any moment. Fingers crossed 🤞
No Evidence Royal Family Will Make A Major Announcement Soon!
This appears to be another example offake news circulating on social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Royal Family Never Said There Will Be Major Announcement Soon
Let me start by simply pointing out that the British Royal Family has not said anything about a major announcement soon.
There may, or may not be, a major announcement soon, but the British Royal Family has not said anything. It certainly did tell people to watch out for an impending major announcement!
Fact #2 : Royal Experts Never Said Anything Either
Not even the usual royal experts / commentators have said that the Royal Family is about to make a major announcement.
They would never have kept quiet about such a juicy gossip. Yet none of them confirmed that any major announcement was forthcoming from the Royal Family.
None of those who claimed that the British Royal Family “said there will be a Major Announcement” soon, or at any moment, actually provided any evidence to back up their claims.
That’s because it didn’t happen. Even those who should known better did not appear to have done any basic verification, before posting it on their social media accounts.
Or perhaps, they were merely interested in trolling or gaslighting people for traffic and engagement, because that’s what makes money!
Fact #4 : This Is Just Royal Family Fake News!

Is French First Lady Brigitte Macron a transgender woman who was really born a man?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-03-17 : Added more details about Brigitte Macron and Jean-Michel Trogneux. Originally posted @ 2024-03-15
Claim : French First Lady Brigitte Macron Was Born A Man!
Some people are claiming that French First Lady Brigitte Macron was born a man, who later transitioned into a transgender woman!
Candace Owens : Stop everything and watch this! Not a joke or an exaggeration to say that barring political assassinations, this is likely the biggest scandal that has ever happened in politics in human history.
I looked into this expecting it to be an insane conspiracy theory and it is anything but. It took 3 years of research for the journalists to unpack this series. It would take 3 seconds for Macron to dispel these rumors and yet they seem unable to. The implications are WILD.
Candace Owens : This episode is blowing up so I just want to say—After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man. Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as establishment.
I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying. I do not intend to let up on this story and I am calling on other journalists to look into this explosive story and report accordingly.
Jim Ferguson : Alert: Is the first lady of France actually a man! Is Macron Gay.
According to a researcher, Brigitte Macron was born as Jean-Michel Trogneux, a man. But president Macron’s wife said she was being targeted by a transphobic rumor and she would file a complaint.
The source of this information on Brigitte Macron’s past life was in articles published in September in the journal Faits et Documents citing extensive evidence of a massive cover-up about a trans figure in the Elysee.
France’s first lady dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.
On French social networks the hashtag #JeanMichelTrogneux has been trending for several weeks now. On November 7, the Twitter account “Le journal de la macronie”, launched the quest for finding Brigitte’s “lost brother” who has disappeared without a trace.
The hashtag has generated close to 80 000 mentions, in particular on “anti-tax and far-right accounts”, noted the Visibrain site. A Russian television station has demanded an investigation into the rumours.
The journalist Natacha Rey, who is the author, said she had firm evidence that the first lady was born Jean Michel Trogneux, a transgender male. Rey has been researching the shady past of Brigitte and the curious disappearance of her alleged “brother”.
Jean Michel Trogneux was last spotted in the company of the highly controversial Joseph Doucé (since found murdered) in the late eighties of the previous century, around the time when Brigitte appeared, said Rey. The pastor was the first advocate of gay marriages and trans surgery and head of a pedophile ring. Many suspect that Doucé had played a role similar to that of Jeffrey Epstein: Blackmailing those in power.
• The Dailey mail posted an article claiming Brigitte Macron IS NOT a man. Weird….
• Two photos were released as “proof”
1. The first photo, the boy in the photo looks like Brigitte
2 The second photo looked way too new to look like a 70 year olds childhood photo. —— turns out it was a picture of his daughter.
🔴 It turns out a 3 year Investigation took with journalists working with genealogist’s and what they found was explosive.
– Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean Michel – Jean Michel lived as a man for 30 years, fathered 5 children, and transitioned at the age of 30 to Become Brigitte.
🔴 “Brigitte” is unable to produce ANY PHOTOS of the first thirty years of her life outside what the daily mail published.
• There are NO photos of her and her brother at all,
🔴 According to the genealogists, Jean Michel existed for 30 Years, and then DISAPPEARED when Brigitte then came into existence
🔴 Sometimes Brigitte tells story’s that don’t add up… the math isn’t mathing.
• for example, she recalled living alone during Neil Armstrong moon landing in 1969. — the problem with that is that she would have been 16 years old. — if she is Jean Michel, who is 8 years older, making her 24 at the time.
• What about the story of her ex husband that she had three kids with? — her ex husband doesn’t exist. They can’t find him anywhere. — the MSM trying to prove he exists, they kept “accidentally” showing photos of different men.
🔴 Brigitte Macron sued two of the journalists… for what exactly? —— for violation of Privacy and fundamental personal rights, plus illicit use of her image. —— the journalists were punished with fines and a police visit and raid of her home. —— they interrogated the journalists, told them to produce a list of journalists they were in contact with
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists, and here are the reasons why, with the help of Nicolas Faure and Jonathan Moadab!
Fact #1 : Emmanuel Macron Called Rumours False + Fabricated!
After Candace Owens made those claims on her Daily Wire show, French President Emmanuel Macron called them “false and fabricated“.
The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios. People eventually believe them and disturb you, even in your intimacy.
He also said that the transgender claims about his wife were typical of misogynistic online attacks that women have to put up with. These transgender attacks on Brigitte Macron as similar (example | example | example) to what Michelle Obama has been subjected to.
Fact #2 : Brigitte Macron Family Photo Shows Her As A Girl
Conspiracy theorists claim that Brigitte is the boy on the far left in this Trogneux family photo. But that’s actually her brother – Jean-Michel Trogneux. Brigitte Trogneux is really the little girl sitting on the lap of her mother, Simone Pujol.
Of course, they claim that the little girl is really Christine Haquin or Nathalie Farcy – one of her cousins. They can’t seem to decide who. They also cannot explain why would the Trogneux family included a niece in a family portrait!
In any case, those theories are easily dismissed – Christine Haquin was born in 1957, while Nathalie Farcy was born on 23 September 1959. In other words, they were born about 2-5 years after this photo was taken (circa 1954/1955).
The conspiracy theory claims that Brigitte Macron is really Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux – the boy on the far left in the photo above, and that he disappeared in the 1980s.
That’s not true, because Jean-Michel’s birth certificate shows that he was born on 11 February 1945, while a newspaper cutting shows that Brigette Trogeneux was born a girl on 13 April 1953 – more than 8 years later!
Jean-Michel Trogneux was also seen on television together with Emmanuel Macron. French journalist Jonathan Moadab also tracked Jean-Michel to his house.
Fact #4 : Brigitte Macron Married Her First Husband In 1975
The conspiracy theory claims that Brigitte Macron only became a transgender woman when she was 30 years old. That’s not possible.
Born Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux on 13 April 1953, she married her first husband, André-Louis Auzière, on 22 June 1974 – when she was 21 years old.
According to the conspiracy theory, Brigitte would have been a man when she married Auzière (also a man). That’s not possible, because France did not permit same sex marriage in the 1970s. In fact, France only legalised same-sex marriage on 18 May 2013 – almost 39 years later!
In addition, Jean-Michel married Véronique Christine Dominique on 24 November 1980 – more than 5 years later, and Brigitte attended as a witness!
Fact #5 : Brigitte Macron Gave Birth To Three Children
On top of that, Brigitte Macron gave birth to three children – Sébastien Auzière, Laurence Auzière-Jourdan, and Tiphaine Auzière (photo below). That would not be possible if she was born a biological male.
Transgender women can change their looks, and develop breasts. They, however, lack both ovaries and uterus, and cannot give birth to children. So this claim is utter nonsense.
Fact #6 : Brigitte Macron Won Libel Case On Transgender Rumour
It appears that these transgender rumours were started with the release of a so-called “three-year investigation” by a small, far-right publication called Faits et Documents (Facts and Documents) in September 2021.
However, it only went viral, when two women – Amandine Roy, a clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, a so-called freelance journalist, made those claims in a YouTube video in December 2021.
In February 2022, Brigitte Macron and her three children, as well as her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, filed a libel lawsuit against the two women. Brigitte and her brother, Jean-Michel, also filed a (criminal) complaint for libel.
On Tuesday, 14 February 2023, the judicial court in Lisieux convicted the two women of libel, and fined them €2,000 each. Those fines were later reduced on appeal, but they both remain convicted of libel.
Fact #7 : Viral Photos Were Edited
Some people are sharing photos which they claim show Jean-Michel Trogneux, before she transitioned into Brigitte Trogneux. They are not genuine.
The viral photos were edited from a photo that was taken by Abaca Press on 4 June 2019, showing Brigitte Macron meeting with players and staff at Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines, southwest of Paris, during the French women national football team’s preparation for FIFA World Cup 2019 in France.
Finally, I should point out that Candace Owens provided no actual evidence that Brigitte Macron was born a man, beyond the debunked claims from years ago… and her claim that Brigitte Macron was unable to produce any photos of herself in the first 30 years of her life.
Guys, how easy to debunk this – if you say Candace, no, actually you lived as a man for 30 years, I’ve lived 30 years: I’m going to show you every photo of every year that I’ve lived. Here’s me in college right, here’s me while I was pregnant with my children. Here’s me and my husband on our wedding day.
There would be so many photos that Brigitte should have at her disposal if this is false. Nope – they’re just calling everybody wrong and backwards and transphobic. Just produce the photos.
Instead, the only photos they have produced that are circulating in the media are the photos that I just showed you. And, as I said, the first photo she looks more like the Jean-Michel who she claims is actually her brother, who she won’t just present to the public. If that is in fact your brother, please just go on a walk with him so we can capture it.
It must be a Millennial “thing” (Candace Owens was born in 1989) to take photos of everything, all the time, to share with the world on social media. It’s easy for people today to demand – “photo, or it didn’t happen”.
The thing is – Brigitte Trogneux was born in 1953, and she was not fortunate enough back in those “good old days” to own a smartphone, or have access to social media. Even digital cameras were not common until the late 1990s.
Frankly, even if Brigitte Macron shared any photo she took as a child, conspiracists will likely insist that the photos were doctored, or of a different girl. Hence, the onus lies with the accusers to prove their claims.

Was Brigitte Macron really born a man called Jean-Michel Trogneux?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Brigitte Macron Was A Man Called Jean-Michel Trogneux!
Some people are claiming that French First Lady Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman who was born a man called Jean-Michel Trogneux!
These rumours started with the release of a so-called “three-year investigation” by a small, far-right publication called Faits et Documents (Facts and Documents) in September 2021. However, it only went viral, when two women – Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey, made those claims in a YouTube video in December 2021.
These claims were revived in March 2024, by American conservative commentator Candace Owens on her Daily Wire show.
Candace Owens : Stop everything and watch this! Not a joke or an exaggeration to say that barring political assassinations, this is likely the biggest scandal that has ever happened in politics in human history.
I looked into this expecting it to be an insane conspiracy theory and it is anything but. It took 3 years of research for the journalists to unpack this series. It would take 3 seconds for Macron to dispel these rumors and yet they seem unable to. The implications are WILD.
Candace Owens : This episode is blowing up so I just want to say—After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man. Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as establishment.
I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying. I do not intend to let up on this story and I am calling on other journalists to look into this explosive story and report accordingly.
It then went viral again, with many right-wing conservatives and conspiracy theorists repeating them, or sharing her video.
Proven : Why Brigitte Macron Is Not Jean-Michel Trogneux!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists, and here are the reasons why, with the help of Nicolas Faure and Jonathan Moadab!
French journalist Jonathan Moadab started his own investigation in 2021, when those rumours first went viral. At first, he believed that Brigitte could really be Jean-Michel, but he soon found out that they are two different people from the same family!
Fact #1 : Brigitte Trogneux’s Birth Was Announced In Newspaper!
Let me start by pointing out that after Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux was born on 13 April 1953, her family announced it in the local newspaper:
SOCIAL NOTEBOOK
Anne-Marie, Jean-Claude, Mary-vonne, Monique and Jean-Michel TROGNEUX have the great joy of announcing the birth of their little sister Brigitte.Amiens, 1, rue Delambre.
CARNET MONDAIN
Anne-Marie, Jean-Claude, Maryvonne, Monique et Jean-Michel TROGNEUX ont la grande joie de vous annoncer la naissance de leur petite sœur Brigitte. Amiens, 1, rue Delambre.
The newspaper announcement specifically stated that her name was indeed, Brigitte at birth, and that she was born a female. You will also note that it mentioned her brother – Jean-Michel.
The carnival should have stopped for anyone who bothered to dig a bit deeper into this story, but no… this photo must be fake, or the Trogneuxs or Macrons must have used a time machine to go back to 1953 and pay for that fake announcement to be printed!
Fact #2 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Was Born Earlier + Still Alive!
In January 2022, Jonathan Moadab obtained an extract from Jean-Michel’s official birth certificate, showing that he was born as a male, at 4 o’clock on 11 February 1945. That’s 8 years before his sister, Brigitte Trogneux!
In addition, he found that Jean-Michel Trogneux was listed on the French electoral roll in 2022, which confirms that he still exists as a separate person from Brigitte Macron (née Trogneux).
But of course, these can be faked, right? The Illuminati and the New World Order can make short work of such documents, no?
Fact #3 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Married After Brigitte!
The supplementary update in the birth certificate extract also stated that Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux married and subsequently divorced Véronique Christine Dominique in 1980 and 1987 respectively.
Jean-Michel, therefore, cannot possibly be Brigitte Trogneux since his sister married her first husband, André-Louis Auzière, on 22 June 1974 – more than 5 years earlier!
Fact #4 : Brigitte Trogneux Witnessed Her Brother’s Wedding!
On top of that, Moadab obtained a copy of this administrative document, which appears to show that Brigitte attended her brother’s wedding to Véronique Christine Dominique!
Could both Jean-Michel and Brigitte Trogneux have attended the wedding as the same person at the same time? That would be quite the miracle!
Fact #5 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Did Not Disappear!
The conspiracy theory claims that Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux disappeared in the 1980s. That’s not true. While Jean-Michel Trogneux is a very private person, he was actually seen on television with French President Emmanuel Macron!
Jonathan Moadab asked two different friends of Jean-Michel Trogneux, who never met each other, to confirm that that man in the video was Jean-Michel Trogneux. Both persons “vigorously stated that Jean-Michel Trogneux existed, and that he was the man in those images“.
Finally, Jonathan Moadab went to Jean-Michel Trogneux’s house, and rang his doorbell. Naturally, Jean-Michel was not happy to see him, and asked him to leave. But he actually met the man himself, and confirmed that he does indeed exist.
Fact #6 : Jean-Michel + Brigitte Won Their Libel Lawsuit!
In February 2022, Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux joined his sister Brigitte Macron, and her three children, in filing a libel lawsuit against the two women who made those transgender claims. They also also filed a (criminal) complaint for libel.
Obviously, it would not be possible for Jean-Michel to jointly file the lawsuit with Brigitte Macron, if they are one and the same person!
On Tuesday, 14 February 2023, the judicial court in Lisieux convicted the two women of libel, and fined them €2,000 each. Those fines were later reduced on appeal, but they both remain convicted of libel.

Did Olivia Munn get turbo breast cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Olivia Munn Got Turbo Breast Cancer From COVID-19 Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Olivia Munn revealed that she underwent four surgeries including a double mastectomy, some people immediately claimed or suggested that she suffered turbo breast cancer from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Erin Elizabeth Health Nut News : Celebrity and curvy bikini model, Olivia Munn , announced she had a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer just months ago after all of her Covid shots.
We see this so much and it’s so prevalent. #TurboCancer. You think Benadryl and Prozac are bad? Try the jabs
Caroline : Olivia Munn just had a double mastectomy due to an aggressive form of breast cancer. She was also a big advocate for the COVID vaccine.
Doctors and researchers who were censored and silenced during the pandemic warned us this might happen.
Mama45 : Olivia Munn reveals breast cancer diagnosis, underwent double mastectomy – Cancers are up 400% since the roll out of the vaccines. Just so you know.
The All American : Actress Olivia Munn has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year – having undergone four surgeries in the last 10 months. She is also Pfizer vaccine advocate and recipient. Are you awake yet? The vaccine kills. #VaccineGenocide #vaccineinjuries
Truth : Olivia Munn Did Not Get Turbo Breast Cancer From COVID-19 Vaccine!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Olivia Munn Was Diagnosed With Luminal B Breast Cancer
Let me start by with a recap of what led to Olivia Munn being diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer.
On 13 March 2024, Olivia Munn posted on Instagram that she was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer, and shared what happened. Here’s a quick summary:
In February 2023, she took a genetic test to check for 90 different cancer genes, including BRCA – the most well-known breast cancer gene. She tested negative, and so did her sister, Sara.
In the winter of 2023, she had a mammogram, which did not find anything.
Her OBGYN Dr. Thais Aliabadi decided to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score, which turned out to be 37%.
She was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, and then a biopsy.
The biopsy showed that she had Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts. This was 2 months after her mammogram came back normal.
30 days after her biopsy, she had a double mastectomy.
For those who want to read her full statement, here it is:
In February of 2023, in an effort to be proactive about my health, I took a genetic test that checks you for 90 different cancer genes. I tested negative for all, including BRCA (the most well-known breast cancer gene). My sister Sara had just tested negative as well. We called each other and high-fived over the phone. That same winter I also had a normal mammogram.
Two months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the past ten months I have had four surgeries, so many days spent in bed I can’t even count and have learned more about cancer, cancer treatment and hormones than I ever could have imagined…
I wouldn’t have found my cancer for another year – at my next scheduled mammogram – except that my OBGYN, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, decided to calculate my Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score.
The fact that she did saved my life.
Dr. Aliabadi looked at factors like my age, familial breast cancer history, and the fact that I had my first child after the age of 30.
She discovered my lifetime risk was at 37%.
Because of that score I was sent to get an MRI, which led to an ultrasound, which then led to a biopsy.
The biopsy showed I had Luminal B cancer in both breasts. Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer.
30 days after that biopsy I had a double mastectomy.
I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next.
I’m lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options.
I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day.
Ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. Dr. Aliabadi says that If the number is greater than 20%, you need annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30.
That short gap of 2 months between her negative mammogram and her breast cancer diagnosis led to claims that it was turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccines. I will show you why that’s just not true.
Fact #2 : Mammograms Screening Isn’t 100% Accurate
Just because Olivia Munn had a “normal” mammogram two months before her breast cancer diagnosis, it doesn’t mean she didn’t actually have breast cancer by then. Olivia Munn’s breast cancer was likely missed by her mammogram.
According to the US Cancer Institute, mammogram screening will miss about 20% of breast cancers that are present at the time of screening, but that can be as high as 30% (source). Such false-negative results are more common in younger women (like Olivia Munn) with denser breasts, or when the tumour is small.
That is likely why her doctor decided to assess her breast cancer risk, and send her for an MRI and then, an ultrasound. In fact, Olivia Munn shared her story so that women are aware of the need to conduct their own Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score. As her doctor advised, those whose scores exceed 20% will need “annual mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 30“.
Fact #3 : Luminal B Breast Cancer Is More Aggressive
Luminal B breast cancer is estrogen receptor-positive, and HER2-negative. About 15%-20% of breast cancers are of the Luminal B type, and they tend to appear in younger women (like Olivia Munn).
As Olivia Munn shared, “Luminal B is an aggressive, fast moving cancer“. Since her Luminal B breast cancer was missed on mammogram, and it took an MRI and an ultrasound to detect it, it was likely in the early-stage.
Luminal B breast cancer can be treated with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and if small enough, with a lumpectomy. However, Luminal B breast cancer has a high recurrence rate, so she likely underwent the double mastectomy to eliminate the risk of a future recurrence.
I should also point out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.
What Olivia Munn described are normal characteristics of Luminal B breast cancer. There is nothing to suggest that her breast cancer went “turbo” after she received her COVID-19 vaccination sometime in 2021. There isn’t even a plausible correlation (never causation) between her breast cancer diagnosis in early 2024, to her COVID-19 vaccination some three years ago!
Needless to say, anti-vaccine activists provide no evidence to back their claims that vaccinated people are dying from turbo cancer. Ironically, they even accused unvaccinated people (and fellow anti-vaxxers) like Kirstie Alley of dying from turbo cancer!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Kate Middleton Plans To Retire From Royal Duties!
People are sharing a Music Mundial article (archive) which claims that Kate Middleton is planning to retire from her royal duties after undergoing abdominal surgery!
Kate Middleton is reportedly planning to retire from her royal duties due to the pressures of royalty
The Princess of Wales would be tired of having a public life as a royal
Among the recent controversies in the British monarchy, it was also revealed that Kate Middleton is reportedly planning to retire from her royal duties due to the pressures of royalty during her recovery process after she underwent abdominal surgery.
According to recent reports, the Princess of Wales shook her marriage to Prince William after living a “desperate struggle with the constant pressures of life in the royal fishbowl, which has clearly taken a terrible toll on her physical and mental health“.
Following Kate’s abdominal surgery, she spent a month and a half away from public duties, which “only strengthened her resolve to quit“. For his part, given the situation, “William is beside himself over her decision” and he is also concerned that “she’s become emotionally unstable“.
Kate Middleton “knew when she married William her life would change forever, but never in her wildest dreams thought it would be this intense!“. Over the years, she has been “painted the villain, a racist” and that is the reason she “wants to retreat“.
No Evidence Kate Middleton Plans To Retire From Royal Duties!
This appears to be nothing more than celebrity rumour created to generate page views, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Rumour Started At The National Enquirer
Let me start by pointing out that the rumour appears to have started at The National Enquirer, the infamous tabloid that falsely reported that Kate Middleton was pregnant with twins! The rumour was then posted by Radar Online:
While Kate reportedly hasn’t officially decided, the 42-year-old keeps pushing back the date when she’ll return to public life.
“Kate’s desperate struggle with the constant pressures of life in the royal fishbowl has clearly taken a terrible toll on her physical and mental health,” a senior palace source told the National Enquirer.
“She spent weeks staying out of the public eye after her operations — and it’s only strengthened her resolve to quit,” the source added.
“William is beside himself over her decision,” the source told the outlet. “He’s stunned his wife could ever consider such a move.”
“He made sure she knew what she was getting into when she married him and she’s done a brilliant job,” the source continued. “He’s concerned she’s become emotionally unstable, but she insists she’s finally seeing clearly!”
Interestingly – no one else has been able to corroborate this new claim by The National Enquirer. Neither royal experts, or reputable media outlets. Not even other tabloids!
Fact #2 : Kate Middleton Should Start Royal Duties By Easter
Instead, palace sources refuted those claims, stating on 12 March, that Kate Middleton is “recovering well and will be back by Easter“. That’s just over 2 weeks away – on March 31.
Another palace source also toldUS Weekly that the Princess of Wales is “extremely eager to get back to work“:
Kate’s extremely keen to get back to work. This has been one of the most challenging months for Kate as a royal, and she’s praying the fuss [over the Mother’s Day photo] dies down as soon as possible.
Kensington Palace had earlier stated, back in January, that the Princess Catherine would only return to public life after Easter. So, it appears that the Kate Middleton is eager to return to royal duties, and is not trying to delay her return to public life.
But whether the Princess of Wales starts working by the end of this month, or in April, multiple sources have indicated clearly that Kate Middleton fully intends to return to her royal duties.
Again, no one has been able to actually show any evidence Kate Middleton intends to retire from royal duties.
In fact, the UK Ministry of Defense announced on March 5, that the 2024 Trooping the Colour would be “reviewed by Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales” on June 2024. It was another indication she fully intends to return to royal duty.
That post, and related information, were removed the next day though, probably because they preceded the official announcement by Kensington Palace that the Princess of Wales was officially returning to her royal duties.
Fact #3 : Kate Middleton Posted The Mother’s Day Photo
Let us not forget (even though she probably wished it never happened!) that Princess Catherine posted that infamous Mother’s Day photo that Prince William took on his Canon camera, which she later edited.
Princess Catherine even posted the photo with her personal message (indicated by her C sign-off):
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. C
That is not the sign of someone who wants to leave the (harsh) limelight of royal duties and public life. If Princess Catherine wanted to retire, as some have claimed, she would not have bothered to have that photo taken, never mind actually edit the photo herself, and then post it with a personal message!
Instead, it appears that the couple decided to post that informal photo and message to reassure the public that the Princess of Wales was recovering well, and would soon be returning to public life.
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

Fact #4 : Kate Middleton Is An Adult
Let me just end by pointing out that Princess Catherine is an adult. She’s 42 years-old, and the mother of three children. No one can force her to return to royal duties if she doesn’t want to.
If she wants to retire from her royal duties, she will do so, regardless of what the British royal family wants. What are they going to do if she refuses? Bound and gag her and push her out with a smiley face mask???

Did a palace aide admit that Kate Middleton was placed into a medically-induced coma, after post-surgical complications?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Palace Aide Admitted Kate Middleton Was In Medical Coma!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that a palace aide admitted that Kate Middleton was placed into a medically-induced coma, after post-surgical complications!
Palace Aide Admits Royals Placed Kate Middleton In ‘Medically Induced Coma’
Kate Middleton’s life is in “grave danger” following unexpected complications following surgery earlier this year and the royal family’s decision to put her in a medically induced coma, according to a member of Prince William’s royal household.
Spanish journalist Concha Calleja, a former royal reporter for Buzzfeed before they shuttered, is standing by her claims that Princess Kate was put into a “medically induced coma” after her abdominal surgery earlier this year.
According to Spanish news outlet Casa de Borbon, the reporter responded to a palace source denying the ordeal.
“I reaffirm what I said…This happens when you touch a nerve, it is annoying. I fully trust my source. What happens is that they feel upset because we have discovered the truth,” she said, as per English translation.
The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic for abdominal surgery last month, and according to the palace, she was released after a fortnight of recovery.
According to the official narrative, Middleton is currently on a bed rest at her home in Windsor and isn’t expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.
However, following a series of PR gaffes and bizarrely photoshopped images, the number of people in the world who currently believe anything coming out of the palace right now is zero.
According to Calleja, the royal household has not been honest about Kate’s dire predicament.
Citing an “aide from the royal household,” Calleja claims Kate’s life is in “great danger” due to postoperative complications that the doctors “didn’t expect” and the royal household’s decision to induce a coma.
No Evidence Palace Aide Admitted Kate Middleton Was In Medical Coma!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : It Was An Old Claim
Let me start by pointing out that this isn’t a new story. The claim that Kate Middleton was placed in a medically-induced coma was made more than 1.5 months ago!
On 28 January 2024 – a day before Kate Middleton was discharged from the hospital after her abdominal surgery, Spanish journalist Concha Calleja claimed on the Fiesta show (archive) that the Princess of Wales’ life was “in great danger” after the operation, and they placed her in a coma.
The doctors had to take drastic decisions at that moment because of the complications that arose. The decision was to put her in an induced coma. They had to intubate her. There were serious complications that they didn’t expect because the operation went well, but the postoperative period didn’t go so well.
Concha Calleja then claimed that Kate Middleton’s recovered was “possibly going to require a lot of assistance“, and that “practically an entire hospital is being set up” in her home.
Fact #2 : The Claim Was Quickly Refuted
Calleja’s shocking claims were quickly refuted by Kensington Palace, with a palace source calling it “total nonsense”, and pointing out that she never even attempted to verify with the palace.
It’s total nonsense. No attempt was made by that journalist to fact-check anything that she said with anyone in the household. It’s fundamentally, totally made-up, and I’ll use polite English here: it’s absolutely not the case.
The very next day after Calleja made her shocking claims, Kensington Palace said that Kate Middleton. was discharged from the hospital, and had already returned home to continue her recovery.
The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress.
If she was ever in a medically-induced coma, it wasn’t for very long, because Kate Middleton only stayed for 13 days in the hospital!
But to be clear – there is no actual evidence that Kate Middleton was ever in a medically-induced coma.
Fact #4 : Concha Calleja Never Provided Any Evidence
Despite the denial by palace sources and Kate Middleton’s discharge from the hospital, Concha Calleja stuck to her guns.
I still stand by everything I’ve said, despite the regrets. I have touched nerves, and nerve always hurts, and that is what has happened. There has not been a single statement denying this, not a single one. I trust my source.
However, she noticeably did not provide any evidence to back up her claim, beyond what was allegedly said by an anonymous palace source. It is also uncertain how the palace aide would be privy to Kate Middleton’s condition, as she was still in the hospital at that time.
Fact #5 : Concha Calleja’s Claimed Were Never Corroborated
I should also point out that no other royal expert or journalist have been able to corroborate Concha Calleja’s claims. And it was not for the lack of trying, that’s for sure!
To date – the only person to ever claim that Kate Middleton was placed in a medically-induced coma due to post-surgical complications was Concha Calleja.
Fact #6 : Kate Middleton Was Seen Alive + Well
The People’s Voice article claimed that “the palace did not provide any proof to show that the Princess of Wales is alive and well“. Perhaps that’s because Kate Middleton was already seen in public… at least TWICE!
On 4 March (more than a week ago!), paparazzi took photos of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, sitting in a vehicle being driven by her mother, Carol, near Windsor Castle.
On 11 March – 3 days ago, she was seen leaving in a car with Prince William, just hours after she apologised for digitally editing her Mother’s Day photo.
These two photos clearly show that Kate Middleton is alive and well enough to go out without medical staff present. They suggest that Kensington Palace was telling the truth when it stated that the Princess of Wales was recovering well.
On top of that, Kate Middleton herself posted a photo taken by Prince William for Mother’s Day:
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

Fact #7 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Kate Middleton hinted at a divorce after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring in the controversial Mother’s Day photo?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Kate Middleton Hinted At Divorce By Not Wearing Wedding Ring!
Some websites and people are suggesting that Kate Middleton hinted at a divorce from Prince William, after she was spotted not wearing her wedding ring in the controversial Mother’s Day photo!
Music Mundial : Kate Middleton confirms she didn’t wear her wedding ring in her new photo. Neglect or declaration of divorce?
The new post for Women’s Day of the princess with her three children had a small signal of editing, which she later apologized for, confirming the photo is real and that she was conscious of the lack of her important jewel that symbolizes her union with Prince William.
Harry will have all the fun then : Why isn’t Kate Middleton aka Princess of Wales wearing her wedding ring, though? Has she served divorce papers on Prince William?
Daily Diaries Friday : Prince william wants to divorce kate middleton and that’s why kate doesn’t have a wedding ring
No Evidence Kate Middleton Hinted At Divorce By Not Wearing Wedding Ring!
Let’s take a look at the claims, and see what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : Kate Middleton Edited Mother’s Day Photo
First, let me just give you a quick recap on the Kate Middleton Mother’s Day photo controversy.
In order of Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, Kensington Palace shared a new photo of Kate Middleton with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Soon after, multiple photo agencies recalled the photo because it appeared to be a “manipulated” photo. In other words – there were signs that it was edited.
On 11 March 2024, Kate Middleton posted on their official @KensingtonRoyal account that she edited the photo herself.
Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C
To be clear – Kate Middleton never said that she edited out the ring. In fact, she made no mention of her engagement ring!
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) March 10, 2024
Fact #2 : Photo Was Taken By Prince William
I should also point out that the photo was taken by Prince William. If you look at the original post, you can see that it was labelled as taken by The Prince of Wales.
The exact date was not provided, only that he took it in 2024. So it could hypothetically been taken before her planned abdominal surgery on 16 January 2024.
If they were in the midst of a divorce, I highly doubt Kate Middleton would ask Prince William to take that photo!
Fact #3 : It Was A Mother’s Day Photo!
People are wondering – why isn’t Prince William in the photo? Simply explained – that was a photo for Mother’s Day. It would be very odd if Prince William was in that shot!
In fact, when it was Father’s Day, the couple released a photo of Prince William (alone!) with his three children, taken by portrait photographer, Millie Pilkington.
Does this Father’s Day photo, which was not taken by Kate Middleton, suggest that Prince William wanted to divorce the Princess of Wales??? Of course, not!
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 18, 2023
Fact #4 : Kate Middleton Does Not Always Wear Her Rings
Kate Middleton does not normally wear her engagement ring – the massive (in size and cost!) sapphire ring that she inherited from Princess Diana. Instead, she often wears a Welsh gold wedding band.
Neither were seen in the Mother’s Day photo, but that’s not something shocking, because she was at home when Prince William took that photo. Many people don’t wear their wedding rings at home.
Others have pointed out that it is also possible that Kate removed her ring before her surgery, and had yet to put it back on because of swelling that had not subsided.

Did Justin Bieber say that Jay-Z rapes and murders children in Satanic rituals?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Justin Bieber Said Jay-Z Rapes + Murders Kids In Satanic Rituals!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that Justin Bieber told his church congregation that Jay-Z rapes and murders children in Satanic rituals!
Justin Bieber: ‘Jay-Z Rapes and Murders Children in Satanic Rituals’
Jay-Z is a powerful Luciferian with elite connections whose boasts about selling his soul to the devil do not tell half the story of the depravity involved in the upper echelons of the entertainment industry.
But don’t take my word for it. That’s according to former acolyte Justin Bieber who has blown the whistle on the dark heart of the entertainment industry and music business and revealed exactly what young stars like himself are expected to do to stay in the game.
Terrified. Traumatized. Destroyed. These were some of the words Justin Bieber used to describe his experience of growing up in the entertainment industry, surrounded by sharks, predators and fully-paid up Luciferians.
Speaking to his church congregation in Beverly Hills on February 28, Bieber revealed that Sean “Diddy” Combs is far from the only powerful predator in the music business.
According to a member of the congregation, Bieber acknowledged it is an open secret in the industry that Jay-Z and close associates rape and murder children in occult Satanic rituals as part of their contract with the devil.
It has long been known that Jay-Z is a disciple of Aleister Crowley, the English occultist and founder of the Luciferian religion Thelema.
The religion is founded upon the idea that the 20th century marked the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, in which a new ethical code would be followed; “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”.
According to Jay-Z, Satanism is the “real American religion” and he openly praises Lucifer in his music.
Truth : Justin Bieber Did Not Say Jay-Z Rapes + Murders Kids In Satanic Rituals!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Evidence Justin Bieber Ever Said That
The People’s Voice claimed that Justin Bieber told his church congregation on February 28 that Jay-Z rapes and murders children in occult Satanic rituals.
However, a quick check showed that The People’s Voice is the only source for this shocking claim. This is surprising since celebrity blogs and mainstream media outlets have, and certainly would have, reported on such controversial claims… if Justin Bieber he actually made them.
Yet, no one else has apparently seen or heard Justin Bieber claim that Jay-Z and his close associates rape and murder children in occult Satanic rituals!
Unfortunately, but perhaps not surprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claims.
Fact #2 : Jay-Z Never Called Satanism The Real American Religion
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that Jay-Z said that “Satanism is the real American religion”. There is no evidence Jay-Z ever said that. If he actually said that, it would have been covered widely by celebrity blogs and even the mainstream media.
Yet, there is no legitimate news coverage of Jay-Z ever calling Satanism the “real American religion”, and The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its claim.
Fact #3 : Jay-Z Did Not Wear That Sweatshirt In D.O.A. Video
The People’s Voice article claimed that Jay-Z wore the “Luciferian moral code” of “Do What Thou Wilt” across chest in his D.O.A. video. That’s easily disproven.
Anyone who watched Jay-Z’s D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune) music video can clearly see he never wore any sweatshirt with the words “Do What Thou Wilt“. He only wore a plain black t-shirt, and a black leather jacket.
Jay-Z actually wore that “Do What Thou Wilt” hoodie / sweatshirt in the making-of video for “Run This Town“. If The People’s Voice cannot even get this right… you have to wonder – what else did they get wrong?
Incidentally, there are tons of such “Do What Thou Wilt” hoodies available on Amazon – here, here, here, and here. Do people buy them as a statement of their beliefs, or just because they look pretty neat? Who knows?
Fact #4 : Do What Thou Wilt Refers To “True Will”
The central axiom of Thelema – “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” refers to the pursuit of one’s true path – the “True Will”, which is essentially one’s “calling” or “purpose” in life, and not the ordinary wants and desires of the ego.
Fact #5 : Thelema Is Not Satanism
Thelema is a new religious movement founded by English mystic and occultist, Aleister Crowley. It is not Satanism, because it’s not based on Christianity, and has no concept of Satan or the Devil.
Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Is Taylor Swift performing three different Satanic rituals at her Eras Tour concerts?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Taylor Swift Is Performing Satanic Rituals At Era Tour!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that an entertainment industry insider has revealed that Taylor Swift is performing Satanic rituals at her Eras Tour concerts!
Industry Insider Reveals Taylor Swift Is Performing ‘Satanic’ Rituals At Eras Tour Concerts
Taylor Swift is performing three different “demonic rituals” during her Eras tour concerts to tens of thousands of people without them realizing, according to a music industry insider who has blown the whistle on the Satanic practices of some of the world’s highest-earning industry celebrities.
According to Shane Lynch, a Christian who spent decades touring the world with chart-topping Irish group Boyzone, Taylor Swift’s is following in the footsteps of her peers at the top of the music industry by selling her soul to the devil.
“I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realizing and recognizing,” said Ward. “You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.”
Even down to Taylor Swift – one of the biggest artists in the world – you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground, to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage,” said Lynch, 47, a born-again Christian.
“But to a lot of people it’s just art and that’s how people are seeing it, unfortunately.”
It comes after earlier this month Taylor went viral for flashing a hand gesture that some interpreted as “the sign of the horns” – a Satanic symbol. Swift was belting out her hit Cruel Summer during her show when people noticed the tell-tale movement.
It’s far from the first time Swift has been called out for cursing her audience. Anton Lavey, the founder of the church of Satan, explained the specific curse Swift used.
Truth : Taylor Swift Is Not Performing Satanic Rituals At Era Tour!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Shane Lynch Provided No Evidence
Let me start by pointing out that Shane Lynch, who was formerly a member of Boyzone, did indeed claim that Taylor Swift was performing “Satanic rituals” at her Eras Tour concerts.
I think when you’re looking at a lot of the artists out there, a lot of their stage shows are Satanic rituals live in front of 20,000 people without them realising and recognising. You’ll see a lot of hoods up and masks on and fire ceremonies.
Even down to Taylor Swift – one of the biggest artists in the world – you watch one of her shows and she has two or three different demonic rituals to do with the pentagrams on the ground, to do with all sorts of stuff on her stage. But to a lot of people it’s just art and that’s how people are seeing it, unfortunately.
However, Shane Lynch provided no evidence to back up his claims that Taylor Swift was performing two or three different “demonic rituals” at her Eras Tour concerts.
Wearing hoods or masks isn’t Satanic, neither are “fire ceremonies”, whatever those are. There is also no evidence of any pentagram on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stage at any venue.
Fact #2 : Devil’s Horns Are Not Satanic
The People’s Voice article called “the sign of the horns” a Satanic symbol. That’s not true.
The hand gesture that Taylor Swift flashed (and so did Ice Spice at the Super Bowl) is also referred to as “devil’s horns”. However, it is not demonic or Satanic. In fact, several cultures use it to ward off evil spirits!
It was popularised by Ronnie James Dio of the heavy metal band, Heaven & Hell and the rock band Black Sabbath, who copied it from his Italian grandmother who often used it. In the Italian culture, the sign of the horns is a protective gesture like the pentagram. Called el corna, it is used traditionally to ward off the “evil eye” (mallocio).
It’s not the devil’s sign like we’re here with the devil. … It’s to ward off the Evil Eye or to give the Evil Eye, depending on which way you do it. So it’s a bit like “knocking on wood.”
The sign of the horns is also used by Hindus and Buddhists. The hand gesture is called “Karana Mudrā“, and is used to “expel demons” and remove “sickness or negative thoughts“. So the showing the sign of the horns is actually the OPPOSITE of worshipping Satan or evil spirits.
In modern times, the devil’s horns / sign of the horns has become a common rock ‘n’ roll gesture, and a mainstream way of saying, “Hell, yeah!“, or “Rock on!”
Fact #3 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Find out why Thomas Kingston – Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband, did not die suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine, and what was his real cause of death!
Claim : Thomas Kingston Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!
Right after news broke that Thomas Kingston died suddenly at just 45 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested that the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, and Pippa Middleton’s ex died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine!
𝕏NEWS NANCY𝕏 : 🚨UK — Thomas Kingston, has died suddenly. He was 45. Reports: No foul play. Source: Buckingham Palace
We all know how common it is for a healthy 45-year-old man to die. Oh wait — it’s only BECOME common since the MANDATED rollout.
I’d like to say rest in peace, but NO ONE should be resting in peace until their family cares enough to INSIST on using the available vaccine technology to trace the death of origin.
🔄 Share this or just consider yourself complicit.
Cillian : Since Prince William pushed the COVID jabs, urging the “younger generations” to take it and claiming that “social media is awash with misinformation”:
• Two Royals – including his father, King Charles – have been diagnosed with cancer.
• His paternal grandparents (Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip) have both died.
• Thomas Kingston – his cousin-in-law – has “died suddenly” at 45.
• His wife, Kate Middleton, was hospitalised and has not been seen for more than two months.
At what stage does it become more than just a coincidence? 🤔💉
Herd Immunity News : News: Where is WEF KC3 On Excess Deaths?: The Death Of Thomas Kingston: Inquest to open into death of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s son-in-law. All we know so far is that Mr Kingston #DiedSuddenly.
For a Monarch who increasing speaks out on ‘climate change’, support for the meat grinder of Ukraine and doing more for illegal migrants KC3 is remarkably silent on the JAB deaths, in particular, involving a member of the Royal Family. Perhaps this is due to his Royal Majesty’s hearty backing for these faulty, inadequately tested medical interventions himself?
Yet again, like so many other untimely deaths, millions of people around the world will conclude that this is yet another death related to the CV19 JAB. We know that 90% of the UK population took at least ONE of these deadly trial meds. However we don’t know if Moderna, AstraZeneca or Pfizer played a part in this poor man demise?
The sudden death of the 45-year-old financier came as a “great shock”, his wife and family said in a joint statement. #Excessdeaths are sitting around 110k since 2021, as record numbers perish well before their time.
As the elites focus their attention of endless, pointless wars and genocide, it’s no surprise that the silence is deafening on these sickening stats.
Thomas Kingston : Cause Of Death Was Not Vaccine SADS!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media platforms like Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Thomas Kingston Died From Gun Shot
Let me start by simply pointing out that Thomas Kingston did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, because he died from a “traumatic head wound“, with a gun found near his body.
This was revealed at the Gloucestershire Coroner’s Court on 1 March 2024, in an inquest into his sudden death, after a post-mortem was conducted.
According to senior coroner Katy Skerrett, Thomas Kingston had lunch with his parents at their family home in the Cotswolds on Sunday, 25 February 2024. His father then took their dogs on a walk, and on his return, Thomas was not in the house.
His father later found Thomas Kingston with “a catastrophic head injury”, after forcing entry into a locked outbuilding, and a gun was found at the scene. Police and paramedics were called to the scene at about 6 PM, after an unnamed family member made a 999 call.
These brief circumstances are as follows. Mr Kingston was visiting his parents’ home in the Cotswolds. On February 25 2024 he ate lunch with his parents. His father went out to walk the dogs.
On his return Mr Kingston was not in the house and after approximately 30 minutes his mother went to look for him. His father forced entry on a locked out building when no reply could be gained.
He found Mr Kingston deceased with a catastrophic head injury. A gun was present at the scene. Emergency services were called. Police are satisfied the death is not suspicious.
post mortem has been undertaken by Dr Jones, a consultant histopathologist, and a provisional cause of death has been given as a traumatic wound to head.
Having been satisfied with identification, initial cause of death and the brief circumstances surrounding Mr Kingston’s death, I can formally open this inquest. I now adjourn it to a date to be fixed. That concludes the opening of the inquest into the death of Thomas Henry Robin Kingston.
The official cause of death for Thomas Kingston was “a traumatic wound to the head“. While the inquest did not expressly say so, it appears that Thomas Kingston committed suicide by gun.
Obviously, no vaccine – not even the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine – can pull the trigger of that gun to cause a traumatic wound to Thomas Kingston’s head!
Until and unless his family (or the authorities) reveal his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Thomas Kingston was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Thomas Kingston was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received his doses more than two years ago! He cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination. Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days or weeks.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Did Bill Gates say that India’s digital ID must become mandatory in the United States?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Bill Gates Says India’s Digital ID Must Become Mandatory In US!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that Bill Gates said that India’s digital ID must become mandatory in the United States!
Bill Gates Says India’s Digital ID Must Become Mandatory in America
Bill Gates has called for the digital ID system in India to become mandatory in America and other Western nations as a matter or urgency.
Gates recently announced on his blog that he is visiting India, and made sure to boast that the Gates Foundation is involved in what he calls “efforts that are saving millions of lives.”
Infowars.com reports: This is a reference to India’s production of another of Gates’ “passions” – vaccines. As for DPI, Gates expressed his “admiration” for the country’s massive biometric identity DPI component, Aadhaar, and the fact that over 12 billion transactions are processed by it.
And, the Microsoft founder has another “passion” – agriculture. He made sure to note that he would be visiting a monitoring center where agriculture meets Aadhaar. More whopping numbers: the government uses the center in Odisha that has a registry of 7.5 million farmers to give them “real-time guidance,” Gates said.
It sounds like a surveillance state dream, at least as far as the “right” infrastructure is concerned: “Officials can keep track of who is growing what,” Gates continued, but he says this is done for the sake of providing those farmers with “advice.”
It has almost become a rule that projects like DPI effectively get tested in developing countries, orchestrated by globalist financial institutions like the World Bank.
Gates mentions that the developments around the implementation of DPI in Odisha are monitored by the World Bank, as well as Ethiopia and Sri Lanka, ostensibly in order for the example to be replicated there.
Truth : Bill Gates Did Not Say India’s Digital ID Must Become Mandatory In US!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Bill Gates Never Said India’s Digital ID Must Implemented In US
Let me start by pointing out that Bill Gates never said that India’s digital ID must be implemented in the United States, never mind made “mandatory”.
If Bill Gates actually suggested making India’s digital ID mandatory in the United States, it would not only have been reported widely by the mainstream media, and lambasted by people who don’t like such ideas. Yet, there was no such report, not even some social media outrage.
That’s because that never happened. The People’s Voice article, unsurprisingly, offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.
The source of this nonsensical claim is a blog post by Bill Gates on his (upcoming) trip to India, called “India’s innovations are still changing the world“. Nowhere in that post does he mention implementing India’s digital ID, or making it mandatory in the United States.
Fact #2 : Aadhaar Is Not Mandatory In India
Aadhaar (आधार), India’s digital ID system, provides a 12-digit unique identity number based on the persons biometrics – 10 fingerprints, 2 iris prints, and a photo of the person’s face, as well as demographic data.
However, Aadhaar is not mandatory, and is an “opt-in” system, because it was developed to help provide targeted delivery of financial aid and other subsidies, benefits and services to the people of India.
In fact, the Supreme Court of India issued an interim order on 23 September 2023, that “no person should suffer for not getting Aadhaar“, and that the government cannot deny a service to a resident who does not possess Aadhaar, as it is voluntary and not mandatory.
Fact #3 : US Federalism Makes It Difficult For National ID
The United States of America is one of the few developed countries to not have a national identity card. It’s not for a lack of trying – there have been proposals to nationalise its ID cards.
Anyone, including Bill Gates, can call for a national identity card, whether digital or physical. So what? It’s not the first time anyone has suggested it, and it won’t be the last time either.
However, the United States was founded upon the idea of federalism, so attempts to create a national identity card have failed so far. As a result, Americans have to resort to using a number of documents to prove their identity or citizenship.
Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did football legend Cristiano Ronaldo just die suddenly in a tragic car crash?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-02-27 : Added new updates. Originally posted @ 2023-04-18
Claim : Cristiano Ronaldo Just Died Suddenly In Tragic Car Accident!
People are claiming on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and social media that football legend Cristiano Ronaldo just died suddenly in a tragic car accident, with photos of the car accident and his funeral procession!
Very Sad News 10 minutes ago! Cristiano Ronaldo Super star Food ball CR7 lost his life in a car accident in Portugal
Truth : Cristiano Ronaldo Did Not Die Suddenly In Tragic Car Accident!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page / video views and advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Cristiano Ronaldo Is Still Alive + Well!
Cristiano Ronaldo (born Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro on 5 February 1985) is still very much alive and well, as of Monday, 5 February 2024!
Of course, you will want “proof of life”, don’t you? Ronaldo posted a photo of himself after scoring his 750th goal in club football on Wednesday, 25 February 2024, on Instagram.
That post came at the Al Nassr game in the Saudi Pro League against Al Shabab. After Al Nassr was given a penalty kick, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball into the back of the net. His total goal count is now 877.
Fact #2 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death
These social media posts, as well as YouTube and Facebook videos have been circulating for months now, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported on Cristiano Ronald’s death!
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world’s best footballers and a mega celebrity. His death would have been covered extensively by the media across the globe!
Yet, no legitimate media outlet has reported that Cristiano Ronaldo died recently from any cause. Why should you believe no-name websites, or random YouTube / Facebook / TikTok videos?
Fact #3 : Viral Car Accident Photo Was From 2009
The viral photo of a badly damaged car is genuine, and shows a car in which Cristiano Ronaldo drove and crashed. However, that happened many years ago, when the Portuguese footballer was just 23 years old!
At 10:20 am on 8 January 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo crashed his Ferrari sports car into a roadside barrier in a tunnel on the A538 Wilmslow Road near the Manchester airport, on the way to train with the Manchester United team.
The car was badly damaged, with one of the front wheels sheared off and thrown over a hundred metres away. However, Cristiano Ronaldo was not injured, and got out of his car by himself, and later went on to train that morning.
Because Cristiano Ronaldo never died in a car crash or hospital, these fake news creator have to resort to using photos from other funerals.
In this example, the fake news creator merely added an inset photo of Cristiano Ronaldo with an arrow, a crying emoji and a LIVE chyron, to a photo of the funeral procession of IRA veteran Bobby Storey, which occurred on 30 June 2020.
If you take a closer look, you will see a bagpiper and Argos – a retailer operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. You may also notice that everyone’s white! That’s because the photo was taken in Belfast, not Portugal!
Cristiano Ronaldo is Portuguese. Why on Earth would his funeral be held in Ireland?! And why would his family want a bagpiper at his funeral?!
Fact #5 : Cristiano Ronaldo Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Cristiano Ronaldo death hoax is, ironically, just another fake fact check article by MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:
News of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the February 2024 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the 39-year-old footballer is alive and well.
Rumors of the footballer’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Cristiano Ronaldo’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the Portuguese footballer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (February 25, 2024), our beloved footballer Cristiano Ronaldo passed away. Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in Funchal. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 39-year-old footballer was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major Portuguese network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a footballer of Cristiano Ronaldo’s stature would be major news across networks.
Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Cristiano Ronaldo Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.
Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.
Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Did a child rape victim testify that Michelle Obama raped her when she was a man?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Michelle Obama Raped Child When She Was A Man!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that a child rape victim testify that Michelle Obama raped her when she was a man!
Child Rape Victim Testifies ‘Michelle Obama Raped Me When She Was a Man’
A child rape victim has blown the whistle and testified about the cult of pedophilia operating in the White House during the Obama years, alleging that both Obama and Biden raped her during their time in office.
Multiple powerful pedophiles stalked the halls of the White House during Obama’s presidency, according to Ally Carter, none more shameless than then Vice President Biden whose secret security staff have long been aware of his sick predilections.
But the culture of pederasty did not stop at the top during the Obama years. It permeated the entire system and goes much deeper than you might expect. According to …. alleges she was also raped by Michelle Obama and this is where things get really disturbing.
Presidents. Vice Presidents. Art collectors. Hollywood executives. Climate czars and pizza shop owners. Let’s face it, it’s one big depraved cult and thank god you ain’t in it.
Government agencies and the public are all complicit to the horrors of child trafficking, according to Ally Carter who told Stew Peters that Child Protective Services, the FBI, CIA and local law enforcement are all involved.
Truth : WHO Did Not Warn Everyone Will Have Cancer Within 20 Years!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : This Is An Old Claim From 2020
Let me start by pointing out that this is an old claim from 2020, when a woman who called Ally Carter posted on Instagram that Barack Obama and Joe Biden raped her.
She claimed to have been trafficked in underground tunnels that run under schools, cemeteries, and Universal Studios to elites living in Hollywood, the Buckingham Palace, and the Getty Museum since she was thirteen years old.
Stew Peters interview mentioned in the The People’s Voice article occurred on Wednesday, 10 November 2021 – more than 2 years ago!
Fact #2 : None Of Those Claims Were Ever Proven True
Despite these claims surfacing many years ago, Ally Carter never provided any evidence that:
she was sold to Joe Biden multiple times, or
there are millions of sex abuse victims like her, or
some sex abuse victims had their limbs cut off so they cannot fight back against the abuse, or
some abusers drained their victims’ blood to use as a fountain of youth, or
CPS (Child Protective Services) buys, sells, and trades children
Needless to say, The People’s Voice article provided zero evidence to back up those claims.
The claims that Michelle Obama is a transgender woman who was born a man is not only false, it’s absurdly ridiculous, because she gave birth to two girls – Malia Obama and Sasha Obama.
For those who are wondering – transgender women cannot give birth, or suffer miscarriages, as they were born men, and lack both ovaries and uterus. And no, Malia and Sasha Obama were not adopted.
Even if you ignore the fact that she gave birth to two girls, Michelle Obama grew up as a female. Her family and friends only knew her as a girl and then, a woman. Never as a boy or a man who later became transgender.
Michelle Obama sometimes shares photos of her childhood on her Instagram account. They are all proof that she grew up as a girl, never as a boy.
On the other hand, all these claims that she was born a boy has never been backed by any evidence. Ally Carter certainly offered no evidence that Michelle Obama was born a man.
In fact, if Ally Carter truly was raped by Michelle Obama, she would have know that Michelle was a woman through and through…
Fact #4 : Barack + Michelle Obama Photo Is Fake
On top of that, The People’s Voice article and video used a fake cover photo, which shows a masculine Michelle Obama with a feminised Barack Obama.
It is an “upgraded” version of the fake Barack and Michelle Obama Christmas photo that went viral in 2022.
Here is our comparison, which shows the original Christmas photo that Michelle Obama posted on her Instagram account on 25 December 2014, and the edited photo which went viral in 2022.
Why would anyone need to doctor this photo if Michelle Obama was really a man???
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did the US Navy JAG just execute Oprah Winfrey?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : US Navy JAG Executes Oprah Winfrey
On 23 February 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) claiming that Oprah Winfrey was just sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno!
As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
JAG Executes Oprah Winfrey
The case of JAG vs. Oprah Winfrey reached a theatrical conclusion Monday morning when Winfrey was executed at Guantanamo Bay for having aided and abetted the enemy, FEMA, in depriving Hawaii residents and tourists of life and property during last summer’s Maui inferno.
Although her execution had been scheduled for February 14, JAG postponed the hanging until the 19th, for reasons JAG hadn’t expatiated on at the time of this writing. Real Raw News summarized Winfrey’s tribunal in an earlier article.
The hangman placed the loop of rope around Winfrey’s neck and a cloth sack over her head. The admiral gave the order that prompted the hangman to flip the switch that triggered the pivoting door beneath Winfrey’s paunchy legs. She dropped without uttering a squeak, and was pronounced dead three minutes later.
Upon receiving notification of Winfrey’s death, Real Raw News asked GITMO sources whether JAG, or any military entity, has authority to prosecute and sentence civilians.
“When President Trump gave us provisional control, it gave us the authority. The moment Oprah Winfrey aided the Deep State, she became indistinguishable from it. The two were inextricably linked,” our source said.
The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.
Fact #1 : Oprah Winfrey Was Not Arrested / Sentenced To Death
Let me just start by pointing out that Oprah Winfrey has not been executed, arrested, or sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno, or any other reason.
Oprah Winfrey is a mega celebrity, and one of the richest women in the world, with a net worth of $3.5 billion as of May 2023. If she was ever arrested, it would have been international news.
Yet, no legitimate media outlet, not even celebrity blogs, have reported that Oprah Winfrey was in any legal trouble, never mind arrested, sentenced to death, and then executed by hanging!
We know this for sure because Oprah herself posted about her speaking with Tyler Perry on resilience and forgiveness in her latest “The Life You Want” class on 23 February 2024.
You may note that this occurred four days after the US Navy JAG (Judge Advocate General) supposedly executed Oprah Winfrey by hanging, on 19 February 2024.
The claim that the US Navy JAG executed Oprah Winfrey for being an accessory to mass murder in the 2023 Maui fire is absurd.
The Judge Advocate General’s Corps is the military justice branch of the American military. It has no powers or jurisdiction over civilians like Oprah Winfrey. The civilian justice system is separate from the military justice system. JAG officers can only prosecute US military service members.
Only in rare exceptions are JAG officers allowed to prosecute civilians. For example, if the civilian committed a crime on a military base, or while working in a foreign country and the local laws allow it. They can also prosecute civilians with special authority from the President, or Congress.
Fact #3 : JAG Officers Cannot Arrest Anyone
JAG officers are not law enforcement officers. They are really military lawyers, and have no powers to arrest anyone – not even military personnel.
They can investigate crimes, defend or prosecute service members accused of those crimes. But JAG officers cannot actually arrest anyone. They certainly cannot act as judge, jury, and executioner!
It is also hilarious that Real Raw News readers actually believe the bullshit that someone sentenced to death would be executed just days later.
That may be possible in a country like North Korea, but certainly not in the United States, where death row inmates wait an average of 178 months – about 15 years after their sentencing, before they are executed.
In fact, none of the six Gitmo inmates charged with capital crime in the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and the attack on USS Cole in 2000, have actually been trialled to date, never mind convicted and sentenced to death.
Fact #5 : US Military Has Not Executed Anyone Since 1961
Even though the US military has killed many combatants intentionally, and civilians as collateral damage, they have not executed prisoners since 1961.
There are four US military inmates on death row, but none of them have been executed so far.
Fact #6 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website
Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.
That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Truth : Celine Dion Did Not Die Suddenly In Hospital!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported Her Death
These YouTube videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported her death or car accident!
When Celine Dion announced that she was suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome, the media breathlessly reported it around the globe.
Celine Dion is not just a famous singer. She is a national treasure in Canada, and a music legend. If she fell and broke a nail, you can be sure that celebrity blogs would have excitedly reported it, if not the mainstream media.
Yet, no legitimate media outlet or even a celebrity blog reported that Celine Dion was involved in any car or plane crash, much less died in a hospital of a “dangerous, incurable disease”. That’s because it never happened!
Fact #2 : Celine Dion Is Still Alive!
The truth is – Celine Dion (born Céline Marie Claudette Dion on 30 March, 1968) is very much still alive, as of Saturday, 24 February 2024! Of course, you guys want “proof of life”, right?
Well, on Sunday night, 4 February 2024, Celine Dion appeared at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, to present the award for the Album of the Year to Taylor Swift. The 55 year-old singer walked out by herself to “The Power of Love”, which Taylor Swift sang along to with the crowd.
Thank you all. I love you right back. When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart.
Those who have been blessed enough to be here, the Grammy Awards, must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music bring to our lives and to people all around the world.
And now it gives me great joy to present a Grammy Award that two legends — Diana Ross and Sting — presented to me 27 years ago.
Wearing a pastel gown and brown coat, Celine Dion would later be photographed embracing Taylor Swift after the awards show. Needless to say – Celine Dion is very much still alive. She doesn’t even need to use a wheelchair, even though she is still suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome!
I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of two examples used in many of these videos.
This is a pretty good Photoshop effort, although you can see how Celine Dion’s dark brown hair suddenly became grey hair. And of course, you have to wonder why Celine Dion would still has her makeup on!
The truth is the fake news created edited the photo of Jan Key – a 65 year-old lady from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who was hit by a car on November 21, 2019.
The photo was taken by her daughter, Kitty Jenkins, on November 26, after Jan Key underwent a second surgery for her broken arm and collarbone. She underwent emergency surgery five days ago to treat her broken leg.
This photo, on the other hand, is a pretty bad Photoshop edit of a photo taken at the August 2018 funeral of Oliver Dragojević – a famous Croatian singer and composer.
To make it look like a Celine Dion funeral, the fake news creator added Lady Gaga appearing to cry, and unbelievably – René Angélil was edited in, with a portrait of Celine Dion magically floating in front of him.
For those who are not aware, René Angélil was Celine Dion’s manager who eventually married her on December 17, 1994. The only problem is – René Angélil died many years ago – on January 14, 2016 from throat cancer!
But I would like to give a special Bad Photoshop award to the fake news creator who came up with this gem.
Not only did he/she use the visage of a smiling Celine Dion, it was stitched on so badly, it’s really, REALLY funny!
Celine Dion, who was supposed to be dying in hospital from a terrible car accident, not only has both her eyes open and smiling, it looked the accident smashed her face sideways!

Fact #4 : Celine Dion Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Celine Dion death hoax is, sadly, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:
News of singer Céline Dion’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the February 2024 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the singer best known for hit songs like S’il suffisait d’aimer, My Heart Will Go On or Pour que tu m’aimes encore is alive and well.
Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Céline Dion’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the singer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (February 22, 2024), our beloved singer Céline Dion passed away. Céline Dion was born on March 30, 1968 in Repentigny. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 55-year-old singer was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a singer of Céline Dion’s stature would be major news across networks.
Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Celine Dion Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.
She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.
Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.
Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Is Donald Trump going to use Oprah Winfrey’s money to pay the $355 million fine for fraudulently overvaluing his properties?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the FACTS really are!
Claim : Trump Will Use Oprah’s Money To Pay $355 Million Fine!
On 20 February 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) claiming that Oprah Winfrey was just sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno!
As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Deep State Won’t See a Dime of Trump’s Money
When Deep State Judge Arthur Engoron—a man who looks like death walking—ruled that President Trump must pay $355 million in fines for allegedly overvaluing Trump Organization properties to secure low-interest bank loans, Trump naturally expressed shock and outrage on his social media platform, Truth Social.
According to one source, the besieged president and his closest advisors met at Mar-a-Lago’s inner sanctum shortly after the verdict. Trump reportedly assured them that although he had sufficient liquidity to cover the unjust fines without auctioning off real estate, such as Trump Tower, he would “never in a million years” dissolve his empire or yield to Deep State corruption.
If Trump, for whatever reason, decides to pay, he could do so without sacrificing a nickel, RRN has learned.
A JAG source in Pensacola, Florida, said Trump has acquired an unexpected benefactor: Oprah Winfrey.
“We’ve informed the president we’ve confiscated more than enough of Oprah’s assets to cover the cost,” the source said.
As reported previously, a military tribunal this month sentenced Winfrey to death for her role in perpetrating last summer’s Maui inferno. Immediately after her conviction, JAG started identifying and seizing Winfrey’s assets, including four properties in three states, $34 million cash, a fleet of luxury vehicles, $25 million in jewelry, and other unspecified resources.
“We’ve only hit the tip of the iceberg. She’s sheltered a lot overseas. But I can say we’ve made progress. Trump said Oprah’s cash should get used to fight the deep state, not fund it, and that’s what we’ll use it for,” our JAG source said.
Truth : Trump Cannot Use Oprah’s Money To Pay $355 Million Fine!
The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.
Fact #1 : Oprah Winfrey Was Not Arrested / Sentenced To Death
Let me just start by pointing out that Oprah Winfrey has not been arrested, or sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno, or any other reason.
Oprah Winfrey is a mega celebrity, and one of the richest women in the world, with a net worth of $3.5 billion as of May 2023. If she was ever arrested, it would have been international news.
Yet, no legitimate media outlet, not even celebrity blogs, have reported that Oprah Winfrey was in any legal trouble, never mind arrested and/or sentenced to death!
We know this for sure because Oprah herself posted about her experience flying to NYC to take part in the photoshoot for the cover of the last issue of British Vogue, on 8 February 2024.
Could she have made it for the photoshoot, if she was supposedly arrested and jailed in Guantanamo Bay, before being courtmartialed, and sentenced to death???
The claim that the US Navy JAG convicted Oprah Winfrey for being an accessory to mass murder in the 2023 Maui fire, and sentenced her to death, is absurd.
The Judge Advocate General’s Corps is the military justice branch of the American military. It has no powers or jurisdiction over civilians like Oprah Winfrey. The civilian justice system is separate from the military justice system. JAG officers can only prosecute US military service members.
Only in rare exceptions are JAG officers allowed to prosecute civilians. For example, if the civilian committed a crime on a military base, or while working in a foreign country and the local laws allow it. They can also prosecute civilians with special authority from the President, or Congress.
Fact #3 : JAG Cannot Confiscate Civilian Property
The claim that JAG can confiscate Oprah Winfrey’s assets is also laughable. As the military justice branch of the American military, JAG cannot confiscate civilian property.
Even if somehow permitted to do so under the Justice Department’s asset forfeiture program (2023 guidelines), it would require the minimum oversight of:
the Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) or investigative agent in charge of the administrative
forfeiture matter (and, if applicable, the AUSA in charge of the related criminal matter);
investigative agents; and
appropriate USMS representatives.
In short, even in the MAGA / QAnon fantasy world where Oprah Winfrey’s assets were somehow confiscated, it would be under the oversight of the US Justice Department.
Even in the MAGA / Canon fantasy world where Oprah Winfrey was somehow sentenced to death, and had her assets seized, there is no reason why those assets should ever be given to Donald Trump!
The seized assets would belong to the US government, and can be used as it sees fit. And there is simply no reason why it should divert some of those seized asset to a private citizen, even if he is called Donald J. Trump.
The truth is there is no way Oprah Winfrey’s money is ever going to be used to pay Donald Trump’s massive fine for fraudulently overvaluing his properties!
Fact #5 : Donald Trump’s Assets May Be Seized!
Ironically, Donald Trump may have his own assets seized to pay for the massive $355 million fine, with another $100 million in pre-judgement interest!
On 21 February 2024, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that she is prepared to seize assets from Donald Trump if he is unable to find the cash to cover his civil fraud fine.
We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day.
Fact #6 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website
Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.
That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Did McDonald’s just lose its legal battle against Jamie Oliver over its toxic pink slime meat?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : McDonald’s Loses Legal Battle With Jamie Oliver!
People are claiming on social media that McDonald’s just lost its legal battle against British chef Jamie Oliver over its toxic pink slime meat!
Keep it Real : [McDonald’s loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world’s largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how buyers are made.
Colin Young : Did anyone hear Jamie Oliver took McDonald’s to court last week and winning the case stating their food wasn’t suitable for human consumption
Didn’t think you would but it’s true
Absolutely disgusting 🤮
Amanda RN :🚨 [McDonald’s loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world’s largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how burgers are made.
According to Oliver, the fat parts of meat are “washed” with ammoniac hydrogen and then used in the packaging of the meat “cake” to fill the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, already this meat was not suitable for human consumption.
Oliver, a radical activist chef, who has waged a war against the food industry, says: We’re talking about meat that would be sold as dog food and after this process it’s served to humans. In addition to the quality of meat, ammonium acid is harmful to health. Oliver says this: “The process of the pink crap”.
What sane human being would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydrogen in the mouth of a child?
In another of his initiatives Oliver has demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: after selecting the “best parts”, the rest: fat, skin, cartilage, visuals, bones, head, legs, are subjected to a mec split smoothie canica – it’s the euphemism that engineers use in food, and then that blood pink paste is deodorant, bleached, re-refreshed and repainted, dipped in flour and fried melcocha, this is left in usually partially hydrogenated oils, that is, toxins.
The food industry uses ammonium hydrogen as an anti-microbial agent, which allowed McDonald’s to use meat in its burgers, which is not suitable for human consumption.
But even more disturbing is the situation that these substances based on ammonium hydrogen are considered ‘lawful components in the production process’ in the food industry with the blessings of health authorities worldwide. So consumers will never be able to discover what substances they put in our food.
Truth : McDonald’s Did Not Lose Legal Battle With Jamie Oliver!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on WhatsApp, and social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : There Was No McDonald’s – Jamie Oliver Lawsuit
Let me start by pointing out that there was no legal battle between McDonald’s and Jamie Oliver. McDonald’s did not sue Jamie Oliver, and Jamie Oliver also did not sue McDonald’s.
Fact #2 : Jamie Oliver Did Not Target McDonald’s
Jamie Oliver did not actually target McDonald’s. So there is really no reason for McDonald’s or Jamie Oliver to sue one another.
In the episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution that aired on 12 April 2011, Jamie Oliver spoke out against Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB), which he derisively referred to as “pink slime”.
Fact #3 : Jamie Oliver Did Not “Discover” Pink Slime
While much has been made about Jamie Oliver’s “battle” against pink slime, he did not create that term, and he wasn’t even amongst the first to speak out against LFTB, which has been sold since 2001.
The term “pink slime” was reportedly coined by USDA microbiologist Gerald Zirstein in a 2002 email to his colleagues. He was, arguably, also the first to criticise LFTB.
I do not consider the stuff to be ground beef, and I consider allowing it in ground beef to be a form of fraudulent labeling.
Michael Moss from The New York Times posted not one article, but at least two articles on the safety of LFTB – on 3 October 2009, and then on 30 December 2009,.
Two years later, ABC News would air a series of reports on LFTB in March 2011. It was only after the extensive coverage by ABC News that Jamie Oliver actually featured LFTB on his show.
Despite its gross sounding name and look, LFTB is simply meat that has been separated from the fat in beef trimmings, and treated with ammonia to kill pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli.
The LFTB technology basically recovers meat that would otherwise be wasted and thrown away. Think of LFTB as low-fat beef paste. Regular ground beef consists of about 30% fat, while LFTB only has about 5% fat.
Fact #5 : McDonald’s Stopped Using LFTB In 2011
McDonald’s announced on 31 January 2012, that it stopped adding Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) to its burgers since the beginning of 2011, and that it was no longer available in its products since August 2011:
At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world.
In other words – McDonald’s made the decision to stop using LFTB in its burgers in early 2011 – months before ABC News or Jamie Oliver covered LFTB. It was only in August 2011 that all of its LFTB-based products were cleared out of its supply chain.
Fact #7 : Ammonia In LFTB Isn’t Toxic
Even though McDonald’s no longer uses “pink slime” in their burgers, I should point out that the amount of ammonia used in LFTB isn’t dangerous.
The amount of ammonia present in Lean Finely Textured Beef (LFTB) is actually comparable to ammonia levels present in existing foods:
Food
Ammonia Level
American Cheese
813 ppm
Unblended LFTB
400-500 ppm
Ketchup
411 ppm
Onions
342 ppm
Blended Beef Patty
with 15% LFTB
200 ppm
Ground Beef
101 ppm
Ammonium hydroxide isn’t just used to treat LFTB meat trimmings, it is also used to produce a wide variety of foods like cheese, puddings, chocolate, and even as a leavening agent in bread. In fact, the ammonium hydroxide is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognised as Safe) by the US FDA, when used in appropriate concentrations.
Fact #8 : LFTB Uses Ammonium Hydroxide Gas
In his viral video, Jamie Oliver is seen showing a front loading washing machine filled with meat, with ammonia-based cleaning products in the background. He then pours from a bottle marked with “Ammonia” and a skull and crossbones symbol into a large tub filled with pieces of beef.
That is not an accurate reflection of how LFTB products are made, because the ammonium hydroxide used in the LFTB process is gaseous, not liquid. In addition, the LFTB process only uses the ammonium hydroxide gas to increase the pH of the separated meat trimmings, from 5.7 to 9.6 (source).
If there ever is a lawsuit over that Jamie Oliver video, he would be hard-pressed to explain how that demonstration accurately replicates how LFTB meat is really produced.

Did Ice Spice flash demonic hand gestures, while openly wearing a Satanic inverted cross, and a Balenciaga outfit?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Ice Spice Showed Satanic Cross + Gestures At Super Bowl!
Some people have been posting a video and photos purportedly showing Ice Spice flashing demonic hand gestures at Super Bowl LVIII, while watching the game with Taylor Swift. They also claim or suggest that Ice Spice openly wearing a Satanic inverted cross, and a Balenciaga outfit, is evidence she is a Satanist!
End Wokeness : Demonic hand gestures on the big screen, upside down cross, Balenciaga sleeve.
Not even hiding it.

Ronald Kelly : This is sickening! Ice Spice flashing the sign of the horns, showing off an upside down cross, and wearing Balenciaga

Texas 🇺🇸 : EVIL & THE DEMONIC ON DISPLAY!
The Super Bowl, Ice Spice, Taylor Swift and friends, and the demonic president Joe Biden! 👇
It looks like Taylor Swift’s guest, Ice Spice, throwing up demonic signs while wearing an upside down cross, making sure the world sees it on the big screen with Balenciaga on her sleeve.
Truth : Ice Spice Did Not Show Satanic Cross + Gestures At Super Bowl!
Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of conspiracy fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter)…
Fact #1 : Devil’s Horns Are Not Satanic
The viral video clip which shows Ice Spice flashing the devil’s horns with her hands is genuine, and was recorded during Super Bowl LVIII on 11 February 2024. At that time, the American rapper was watching the game with Taylor Swift.
However, the hand gesture that is often referred to as “devil’s horns” or “sign of the horns” isn’t demonic or Satanic. In fact, several cultures use it to ward off evil spirits!
It was popularised by Ronnie James Dio of the heavy metal band, Heaven & Hell and the rock band Black Sabbath, who copied it from his Italian grandmother who often used it. In the Italian culture, the sign of the horns is a protective gesture like the pentagram. Called el corna, it is used traditionally to ward off the “evil eye” (mallocio).
It’s not the devil’s sign like we’re here with the devil. … It’s to ward off the Evil Eye or to give the Evil Eye, depending on which way you do it. So it’s a bit like “knocking on wood.”
The sign of the horns is also used by Hindus and Buddhists. The hand gesture is called “Karana Mudrā“, and is used to “expel demons” and remove “sickness or negative thoughts“. So the showing the sign of the horns is actually the OPPOSITE of worshipping Satan or evil spirits.
In modern times, the devil’s horns / sign of the horns has become a common rock ‘n’ roll gesture, and a mainstream way of saying, “Hell, yeah!“, or “Rock on!”
Fact #2 : The Inverted Cross Isn’t Satanic Either!
The inverted cross that Ice Spice wore at Super Bowl LVIII is also real, and was designed by Alex Moss. However, that inverted cross isn’t Satanic or demonic either.
Thanks to horror movies, and conspiracy theories, some people believe that the upside-down or inverted cross is satanic, or the symbol of a Satanist. But it is actually the Cross of St. Peter – an ancient symbol of St. Peter’s crucifixion in Christianity.
In Christian history, St. Peter insisted that he be crucified upside down as he did not believe that he was worthy of being crucified in the same way as Jesus Christ. Hence, the Catholic Church uses the upside down cross (without a corpus) to represent St. Peter.
In fact, the Pope – as a successor of Peter, employs the inverted cross as a symbolic reminder of Saint Peter’s martyrdom. As long as the upside down cross does not have a corpus (a figure of Christ), it is not satanic or demonic.
Fact #4 : No Evidence Balenciaga Is Satanic
Bizarrely, some people are pointing out that Ice Spice wearing a Balenciaga outfit is evidence that she is Satanic.
As far as I can determine – there is nothing Satanic or demonic about a Balenciaga outfit. Needless to say – none of those who made those claims have actually provided any evidence that Balenciaga fashion is Satanic or demonic, or that Satanists wear Balenciaga to show their devotion to Satan.

Did Mel Gibson call Prince William the Antichrist, and the future king of the NWO’s one world government?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Mel Gibson Called Prince William The Antichrist!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Mel Gibson just told staff and associates that Prince William is the Antichrist, and the future future king of the one-world government ushered in by the New World Order!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Mel Gibson: ‘Prince William Is the Antichrist’
Hollywood star Mel Gibson has told staff and associates that Prince William is the antichrist and he will be the future king of a one world government ushered in by the New World Order.
According to Gibson, the Illuminati elite have gone into overdrive promoting their evil agenda on the world stage, preparing humanity for the next stage of their Luciferian master plan.
Case for the prosecution: Ice Spice, who accompanied Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl, throwing up Satanic hand symbols while wearing Balenciaga and an upside down cross. The fact this scene almost looks normal says everything you need to know about the times we are living in.
The Satanic messaging has never been so blatant and ubiquitous and Gibson has a warning for those who think this is just a game: things are about to get very crazy, very quick.
Explaining that he has met Prince William twice and he always has demonic entities trailing along behind him, Gibson claims that William has already taken up the role behind the scenes.
Gibson has been preparing to direct Lethal Weapon 5 and staff and associates in Los Angeles have been presented with photos and video evidence that Gibson says confirms his claims.
Explaining that the first time he met Prince William, there was a demon feasting on a lamb behind him, Gibson says “everybody is talking about it” and William’s role as king is an open secret among the global elite.
As Gibson claimed, videos have been uploaded to the internet of demonic entities following Prince William wherever he goes in the world.
In 2004, the Rothschild-controlled Associated Press published a photograph of Prince William posing with a lamb like Jesus Christ, who the Bible calls the lamb of god.
To the unaware, the photo is completely innocent. But to insiders familiar with freemasonry and the Book of Revelations, Prince William is identified in the photo as the antichrist.
The antichrist has been described in art and literature as handsome and charming, and a master of lies and deception. Freemasons call him the Baphomet, or Goat of Mendes.
The antichrist is commonly illustrated with cloven hind hooves. Why is William holding a cloven hind hoof in the photograph?
According to Gibson, the photo was a secret communication by the British royal family on behalf of the the global elite announcing Prince William’s ascension to the role of Illuminati king.
“It’s actually a political position more than a religious one,” said Gibson, explaining that William’s role as the king of a one world government will be made known to humanity after a false flag global disaster brings humanity together in a state of desperation, seeking a savior which will arrive in the form of global government.
No Evidence Mel Gibson Called Prince William The Antichrist!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Evidence Mel Gibson Called Prince William The Antichrist
The People’s Voice article claimed that Mel Gibson told his staff and associates that Prince William is the Antichrist, and the future king of the New World Order’s one world government.
However, a quick check showed that it is the only source for this Prince William is the Antichrist quote attributed to Mel Gibson, which is surprising since celebrity blogs and mainstream media outlets have, and certainly would have, reported on such controversial claims… if he actually made them.
Yet, no one else has apparently seen Mel Gibson call Prince William the Antichrist. In fact, I can find any evidence Mel Gibson ever commented on Prince William! There is also no evidence Mel Gibson ever met Prince William either.
Unfortunately, but perhaps not surprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claims.
Fact #2 : Princess Diana Died In A Car Crash
The People’s Voice article claimed that Princess Diana was sacrificed in an Illuminati blood ritual.
That is easily disproven – Princess Diana and her partner, Dodi Fayed, died from injuries sustained in a fatal car crash in Paris, France.
The many photographers who were following their car, witnessed the crash. Some rushed to help the victims, while others took photographs. Needless to say – no one ever claimed to have witnessed Princess Diana being sacrificed in an Illuminati blood ritual.
Yet again, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence that Princess Diana was sacrificed in an Illuminati blood ritual.
The People’s Voice article claimed that Mel Gibson is preparing to direct Lethal Weapon 5 in Los Angeles.
Well, Mel Gibson has been “preparing” to do that for years now. As of 19 February 2024, there is still no evidence that Lethal Weapon 5 has actually been “green-lit” for production this year.
In November 2021, Gibson revealed in a London interview that he was “in talks” to helm and direct Lethal Weapon 5, to honour his friend and the director of its previous films – Richard Donner, who passed away in July 2021.
Then in 2022, Mel Gibson expressed confidence in a Screenrant interview that Lethal Weapon 5 could arrive in 2023. However, that never happened.
Finally, Daniel RPK – a “semi-reliable industry insider” suggested that in December 2023, that Lethal Weapon 5 was in the works, with shooting expected to start in 2024, with Mel Gibson directing and reprising his role of Martin Riggs. He also suggested that Danny Glover will return as Roger Murtaugh.
That said – no one else – not Mel Gibson himself, Warner Bros or Danny Glover, have confirmed the rumour.
Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Amy Schumer just reveal that she developed VAIDS after getting her third COVID-19 booster dose?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Amy Schumer Developed VAIDS After Third Booster!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Amy Schumer just revealed that she developed VAIDS after getting her third COVID-19 booster dose!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Amy Schumer Says She Developed VAIDS After Third Booster
Amy Schumer has revealed that she developed full-blown Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of getting multiple COVID jabs.
The comedian was forced to come clean about her diagnosis when people began speculating about her poor health after a recent appearance on television where she appeared extremely bloated.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face. I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right, it is puffier than normal right now. I have endometriosis, an auto immune disease that every woman should read about,” Schumer posted on social media.
The sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by “altered cytokine responses”. Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by our immune system in response to infection. The more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS.
Truth : Amy Schumer Did Not Develop VAIDS After Third Booster!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Amy Schumer Did Not Say She Developed VAIDS
The People’s Voice article claimed that Amy Schumer “revealed that she developed full-blown Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of getting multiple COVID jabs“.
Amy Schumer has not made any statements claiming that she developed full-blown VAIDS after getting multiple COVID-19 vaccine injections.
As usual, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.
Fact #2 : Amy Schumer Was Diagnosed With Cushing’s Syndrome
On Tuesday, 13 February 2024, Amy Schumer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where people noticed that her face appeared puffier than usual.
After her puffy appearance went viral on social media, Amy posted on Instagram that she was going through “some medical and hormonal things” due to endometriosis.
I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now. I have endometriosis an auto immune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay.
Later, she would be diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome, which was caused by getting steroid injections in high doses.
ISo finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I’m healthy was the greatest news imaginable. It has been a crazy couple weeks for me and my family.
Just in case there is any confusion, endometriosis is not AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which is caused by HIV – the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Why would anyone claim that Amy Schumer developed AIDS when she clearly stated that she has endometriosis???
Fact #4 : Cushing’s Syndrome Isn’t AIDS Either
While high doses of steroid suppresses the immune system, it isn’t AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which is caused by HIV – the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines do not cause Cushing’s syndrome.
Fact #5 : Vaccine AIDS Does Not Exist
This is silly, but let me also point out that there is no medical disease called VAIDS – Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It appears to be something made-up by anti-vaccination activists to scare people.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Nothing else causes AIDS. Certainly no vaccine, not even the COVID-19 vaccine, causes AIDS.
Robert Charles Gallo – one of the two scientists who independently discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was responsible for AIDS, said in response to the 2021 claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that COVID-19 vaccines cause AIDS:
[I]t’s hard to believe anyone would claim that the covid-19 vaccine causes AIDS. We know what causes AIDS.
I don’t know what your president said. So I don’t want to be too critical. But it is obvious that neither the covid-19 vaccine nor any other vaccine causes AIDS.
Just in case you think that Amy Schumer might have developed endometriosis from her COVID-19 vaccinations, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
For one thing – endometriosis affects roughly 10% of women in their reproductive age, since time immemorial.
But more to the point – Amy Schumer had been struggling with endometriosis for years. While she did not reveal when she was first diagnosed with endometriosis, she revealed that she had her uterus and appendix removed in September 2021, after years of suffering.
So, it’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out. The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.
There was a lot, a lot of blood in my uterus and I’m, you know, sore and I have some, like, gas pains.
Amy Schumer also revealed in August 2020 (before the COVID-19 vaccines were approved!) that she “couldn’t be pregnant ever again” due to how her endometriosis affected her fertility.
To be clear – Amy Schumer’s endometriosis isn’t new, or related to the COVID-19 vaccines. She has been suffering from endometriosis for many years.
Interestingly, the cover photo of The People’s Voice article were taken from Amy Schumer’s September 2021 Instagram posts. So it appears they knew she was suffering from endometriosis for many years, and it had nothing to do with multiple vaccine booster doses.
The People’s Voice article pointed to a study which purportedly showed COVID-19 vaccines causing VAIDS in children. That’s not true.
The study did not mention AIDS, VAIDS, or even immunodeficiency. It was also conducted only in a laboratory, using blood samples from 29 children – none of whom were found to have developed any side effect or disease from their COVID-19 vaccinations!
Fact #8 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Was Oprah Winfrey just sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the FACTS really are!
Claim : Oprah Winfrey Was Just Sentenced To Death!
On 16 February 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) claiming that Oprah Winfrey was just sentenced to death, for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno!
As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
JAG Convicts Oprah Winfrey, Sentences to Death
The U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps and Office of Military Commissions last week convicted Oprah Winfrey of accessory to mass murder and ultimately decreed that she get hanged by the neck until dead for abetting Deep State criminals and contributing to malicious loss of life during last summer’s Maui inferno.
As reported previously, JAG investigators apprehended Winfrey on December 3, 2023, while she was in Los Angeles to visit friend and fellow television personality Gayle King, a broadcast journalist for CBS News. She had missed her appointment with King because investigators had intercepted her limousine near a museum near Interstate 405, and the vehicle’s other occupant, Winfrey’s personal chauffer and valet, was tragically gunned down while reaching in his breast pocket for “presidential immunity” paperwork investigators had mistaken for a firearm.
Shortly after that, JAG shipped Winfrey to Guantanamo Bay, where they held her in pretrial confinement until the commencement of her military tribunal last Tuesday, February 8.
Winfrey was taken to GITMO shortly after, and she will face a military tribunal.
Our source said the charges against Winfrey are vast and substantiated by solid evidence to be presented at the tribunal. For example, JAG says Winfrey had foreknowledge of the firestorm that ravaged parts of Maui in October. A week before the blaze, Winfrey hired contractors to coat the entirety of her Maui estate with fireproof resin. Hers was one of a few opulent estates to survive the inferno magically. Winfrey was part of a villainous group that planned to raze Maui to the ground and rebuild a “smart 15-minute city” on the ashes. “That’s just one of many crimes,” our source said. “We have her dead to rights, and all will be revealed at her tribunal.”
Our source said the individual now publicly portraying Winfrey is a shoddy body double.
“Soon after the arrest, another Winfrey made public appearances. Only this Winfrey was somehow 200 pounds lighter. These fat celebs seem to love Ozempic, but even that isn’t going to get rid of 200 pounds of flab in three days. Oprah, the real Oprah, will probably hang for what she’s done,” our source said.
The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.
Fact #1 : Oprah Winfrey Was Not Sentenced To Death
Let me just start by pointing out that Oprah Winfrey has not been sentenced to death for being an accessory to mass murder in the Maui inferno, or any other reason. In fact, she has not even been arrested or jailed for any reason!
Oprah Winfrey is a mega celebrity, and one of the richest women in the world, with a net worth of $3.5 billion as of May 2023. If she was ever arrested, it would have been international news.
Yet, no legitimate media outlet, not even celebrity blogs, have reported that Oprah Winfrey was in any legal trouble, never mind sentenced to death!
We know this for sure because Oprah herself posted about her experience flying to NYC to take part in the photoshoot for the cover of the last issue of British Vogue, on 8 February 2024.
Could she have made it for the photoshoot, if she was supposedly jailed in Guantanamo Bay, before being courtmartialed, and sentenced to death???
The claim that the US Navy JAG convicted Oprah Winfrey for being an accessory to mass murder in the 2023 Maui fire, and sentenced her to death, is absurd.
The Judge Advocate General’s Corps is the military justice branch of the American military. It has no powers or jurisdiction over civilians like Oprah Winfrey. The civilian justice system is separate from the military justice system. JAG officers can only prosecute US military service members.
Only in rare exceptions are JAG officers allowed to prosecute civilians. For example, if the civilian committed a crime on a military base, or while working in a foreign country and the local laws allow it. They can also prosecute civilians with special authority from the President, or Congress.
Fact #3 : Office of Military Commissions Has No Powers Over Civilians
The claim that the Office of Military Commissions convicted Oprah Winfrey for being an accessory to mass murder in the 2023 Maui fire, and sentenced her to death, is also ridiculous.
The Office of Military Commissions conducts military tribunals to try individuals for their unlawful conduct in war. The 2023 Maui fire was a natural disaster, and not a war. The Office of Military Commissions would not be involved in conducting any military tribunals over the Maui inferno.
Fact #4 : Real Raw News Is A Fake News Website
Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.
That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Does a viral video really show Taylor Swift holding up a Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! flag at the 2024 Grammy Awards?!
Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Taylor Swift Showed Trump Won Flag At 2024 Grammys!
People are sharing a video on X (formerly Twitter), which appears to show music superstar Taylor Swift holding up a flag that proclaimed Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! while being photographed on the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Viral Video Was Edited
Let me start by pointing out that the viral video was edited, with the addition of the red-coloured “Trump Won, Democrats Cheated!” flag and two hands holding them up.
It may not be obvious to most people, but if you look carefully, you can see several obvious signs of digital manipulation:
The Trump Won flag does not ripple or flutter at all. The folds remains still throughout the video, even when Taylor Swift appears to move the flag.
Taylor Swift’s fingers does not even twitch or move at all, even when she appears to move the flag.
Taylor Swift’s left hand has a white outline – a photo editing (masking) artifact, which is most clearly seen at the end of the video, against the black background.
In the first two seconds of the video, you can see her left hand (in black gloves) appearing just under the flag. Brightening the image shows the right hand (in black gloves) appearing under the flag too.
It is therefore no surprise that the video has been labelled by X (formerly Twitter) as Manipulated media. However, X has apparently made no attempt to remove the obviously edited video from its platform.
Fact #2 : Taylor Swift Did Not Hold Trump Flag At 2024 Grammys
To be clear – Taylor Swift did not hold up, or show, any Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! flag at the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet.
We know this to be true, because the original video that was posted by Variety on 4 February 2024, shows her standing for photos with her left hand on her waist.
The original Variety video also showed Taylor Swift wearing long, black evening gloves. The edited video, on the other hand, showed naked fingers.
If you use an image editor to brighten the shadows, you can clearly see both of her hands in those black gloves appearing just under the red Trump Won flag.
But you don’t even need to do that – in the first two seconds of the edited video, you can see Taylor Swift’s left hand hold onto the fabric of her white dress.
Fact #4 : Taylor Swift Unlikely To Endorse Donald Trump
While Taylor Swift has yet to endorse any candidate for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, it is very unlikely that she would ever endorse Donald Trump.
For one thing – Taylor Swift only endorsed Democrats so far. She endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the 2018 midterm elections in Tennessee. Her 2018 post, in particular, made it clear her values did not align with those of the GOP.
I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.
I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.
I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn.
As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values.
I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.
So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

Did country music star Toby Keith just die suddenly on the way to a Los Angeles hospital, or in the hospital, from stomach cancer?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-02-06 : Added Toby Keith’s true death details. Originally posted @ 2023-06-17
Claim : Toby Keith Died Suddenly On The Way To Hospital!
People are sharing YouTube videos claiming to prove that Toby Keith just died suddenly on the way to the hospital from stomach cancer, with titles like :

Truth : Toby Keith Died At Home After Fighting Cancer!
This is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Toby Keith Died At Home
Toby Keith (born Toby Keith Covel on July 8, 1961) passed away at home on the night of 5 February 2024, surrounded by his family.
He did not die on the way to the hospital, or in a Los Angeles hospital. He died at home in Norman, Oklahoma, where he has a 10,000 square foot home in a sprawling estate.
Those claims were made by fake news creators on YouTube, TikTok, and social media platforms, months and years before he died.
Toby Keith’s death was announced on his official Instagram page, days after he posted a video speaking about how he did an undercover show at the Fillmore club in New York City, as the “Incognito Bandito” band. His publicist, Elaine Schock, also confirmed his death.
Toby Keith also appeared in public on the Bobby Bones Show in early January 2024, speaking about his stomach surgery, and working on his singing. At that time, Toby Keith said that his health was improving.
Toby Keith was 62 years old when he died. He leaves behind his wife, Tricia, and three children – Shelley, Krystal, and Stelen.
Fact #2 : Toby Keith Fought Stomach Cancer
Toby Keith announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer at the end of 2021. He said that he underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery in the past six months since that diagnosis.
Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last six months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax.
In November 2022, Toby Keith told CMT Hot 20 Countdown’s Cody Alan, that he was thinking about getting back to “fightin’ shape” as the cancer treatment was “pretty debilitating”. However, he suggested that everything was looking good.
I’m thinking about getting back to fightin’ shape. I need a little bit of time to just rest up and heal up. It’s pretty debilitating to have to go through all that, but as long as everything stays hunky-dory, then we’ll look at something good in the future.
On June 2, 2023, Toby Keith posted a rare photo of himself to raise awareness for the non-profit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. He looked noticeably thinner, but very much still alive.
Then on July 15, 2023, he posted a video singing at the back of his Uber ride, which had a karaoke machine! He looked much better in this video. By January 2024, he told Bobby Bones that he no longer had “any issues” with his health.
While his family did not announce his cause of death, in all likelihood, Toby Keith died from stomach cancer.
I analysed the photos used in these fake Toby Keith death videos, and traced the origin of two examples used in many of these videos.
This photo used to show Toby Keith unconscious and intubated in a hospital bed is actually a photo of Pittsburgh radio DJ, Sean McDowell, who retired from the WDVE station in May 2019.
In August 6, 2019, he posted these photos on Twitter, revealing that a year ago – on August 6, 2018, he had an operation to fix his heart’s mitral valve.
Exactly 1 year ago today, St. Clair Hospital, Dr. Scott Halbreiner sawed thru my sternum, opened my rib cage, fixed my heart (mitral valve) & then wired me shut! Biggest Thanks Ever to Dr. Halbreiner, Dr. Dave Burkey & the nurses in the CVSU! Because of you guys, I’m still here!
This photo of an intubated man lying in a hospital bed is actually a stock photo with a photo ID of 1745351552 on Shutterstock. It was taken on May 20, 2020, with the following description.
DUQUE DE CAXIAS,(BRAZIL),MAY,20,2020: doctors take care of patients with covid-19 and an intensive care unit (ICU) at hospital são josé specialized in the treatment of covid-19
Fact #4 : Toby Keith Death Hoax Was Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Toby Keith death hoax, ironically, was also being driven by another fake fact check article by MediaMass Project.
News of singer Toby Keith’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the January 2024 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the singer best known for hit songs like Red Solo Cup, I Love This Bar or Should’ve Been a Cowboy is alive and well.
Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Sunday after a ‘R.I.P. Toby Keith’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American singer’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Sunday (February 04, 2024), our beloved singer Toby Keith passed away. Toby Keith was born on July 8, 1961 in Clinton. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 62-year-old singer and songwriter was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Toby Keith Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.
He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.
Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.
Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Were King Charles and his close friends just exposed for raping hundreds of children in an explosive new testimony?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : King Charles + Close Friends Raped Hundreds Of Children!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims King Charles and his close friends was just exposed by an explosive new testimony of raping “hundreds of children”!
Here is an excerpt from the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
King Charles and Close Friends Raped ‘Hundreds of Children’ – Explosive New Testimony
King Charles has been implicated in a massive decades-old pedophile ring at an “elite” British boarding school, according to revelations by a former student and whistleblower who has blown the lid off the horrific scale of the elite’s chosen vice.
According to an award-winning journalist who attended the school as a boy, children at the elite school are routinely beaten, harassed, raped, and driven to suicide.
Inevitably with pedophilia, all roads lead to Rome. In this case Rome’s latest incarnation: the British ‘royal’ family, who, in the words of Stevens, regularly visit Aldenham School to “feed” on children.
According to Stevens, who know goes by the name Phoenix Kaspian, the British royal family led by Charles are “unable to resist raping anything that smells like a child.”
Prince Charles was best friends with Britain’s most notorious pedovore Jimmy Savile, regularly hosting him at royal estates and using him as a sounding board for advice. Charles even asked Savile, who raped hundreds of children over the course of decades in the public eye, to write an etiquette guide to be followed the Queen.
King Charles’s great-uncle and mentor Lord Mountbatten was also accused of raping an 11-year-old boy at a notorious children’s home in the 1970s, adding weight to allegations that the British royal family practice child sacrifice and ritualistic pedophilia as one of their ancient rites and customs.
What are the chances of Charles and Andrew both being best friends with the most notorious international pedophiles of their generation? And what are the chances of King Charles’ mentor also being accused of raping young boys?
Truth : King Charles Was Not Exposed For Raping Children!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : King Charles Was Not Exposed For Raping Children
Let me start by simply pointing out that King Charles was not exposed in any testimony of raping hundreds of children with his close friends.
The People’s Voice referred to an article by Voice of Liberated Children, but even that article does not offer any actual evidence of King Charles raping any children, much less “hundreds of children” with his close friends.
In short – there simply is no evidence, or testimony, by any victim or witness to the raping of any child or children by King Charles and his close friends.
Fact #2 : One Aldenham Teacher Was Convicted Of Rape
There has been no evidence of child abuse at the Aldenham School, as far as I can tell. There was only one known case of rape involving an Aldenham school teacher called Alun Pickford.
Alun Pickford was convicted on 21 July 2023 of raping an 18 year-old girl in the early 1990s, while he was a junior teacher at the Aldenham School. While the girl was a student at that time, she does not appear to be studying at Aldenham.
According to the Hertfordshire Constabulary, Alun Pickford invited the teenage girl to stay overnight at his one-bedroom flat on the Aldenham school estate, offering to sleep on the sofa while she slept in his bed. However, he entered the bedroom that night and got into bed with her.
The teenage girl confided in a friend about the incident, but did not take the matter further until she reported the rape to police in 2020.
There is no evidence of other rapes at the Aldenham School, or that other teachers were involved. There is also no evidence of any child sex ring at Aldenham School, with hundreds of children getting raped.
Fact #3 : King Charles Was Not Involved With Aldenham
King Charles never went to the Aldenham School, and was never involved in the governance of the school.
In fact, he appears to have only met once with student ambassadors (Head Boy Subhan Iqbal and Head Girl Sarah Dean) from the Aldenham School in March 2016.
Therefore, it is odd that anyone should accuse him of raping children studying at Aldenham when he has zero involvement with that boarding school.
Fact #4 : Prince Andrew Screenshot Is Fake
The People’s Voice article and video used a cover photo which appears to feature a screenshot of a social media post by Prince Andrew. That is most certainly fake, because Prince Andrew no longer has any social media accounts.
He never had any official Facebook page, and deleted his official Twitter and YouTube accounts, and took his Instagram account private in January 2022, after Queen Elizabeth II stripped him of his military titles.
Needless to say, The People’s Voice provided no evidence Prince Andrew called King Charles’ recent cancer diagnosis “fake”, and said that ‘kids were killed”.
And it is odd that the screenshot was censored with only two statements visible. Why censor it if it’s genuine?
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Truth : Simon Cowell Did Not Die Suddenly In Hospital!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death
These YouTube videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported his death.
Never mind his wealth, Simon Cowell is a celebrity in his own right. Even if he did not die, the worldwide media would have reported on his car accident or hospitalisation.
No legitimate media outlet reported that Simon Cowell was hospitalised, never mind dying suddenly in a car crash. That’s because it never happened!
Fact #2 : Simon Cowell Is Still Alive + Well!
Simon Cowell – the long-time judge on Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent is still very much alive and well, as of Monday, 12 February 2024.
Of course, you need actual “proof of life”, right? Well, Simon Cowell posted a video of Shadow Ace performing on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League.
As you can see – Simon Cowell is not dead, or in the hospital. He certainly does not look like he’s dying in a hospital!
I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of four examples used in many of these videos.
This photo that shows Simon Cowell on a hospital bed, was edited from a real photo of a kidney transplant patient called Gerhard van Tonder. The photo was taken in October 2021 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Healthcare professionals will immediately notice that Simon Cowell is not intubated despite being mysteriously hooked up to a ventilator!
If you look carefully, you will also notice that Simon Cowell’s head is oddly larger than normal – to superimpose over Gerhard’s head in the real photo.
If you zoom into the fake photo, you can even see a white border around Simon Cowell’s head – a clear sign it was added to the photo.
The photo of this white SUV was taken on July 17, 2019 on Highway 6 near Freelton, Ontario, Canada. The driver was a 38 year-old woman, not Simon Cowell.
This photo was also misappropriated from another car accident, this time in the Selma neighbourhood in the San Fernando Valley, on May 9, 2021.
The driver was a 57 year-old woman who died in that accident. Again, not Simon Cowell.
This fake photo is a pretty good edit, albeit showing Simon Cowell smiling with his eyes closed – odd for someone who was dying or has already died.
But it was really a photo of Blake Bargatze, a 24 year-old man, who was being treated at a South Florida hospital for COVID-19 in March 2021.
Bargatze, unfortunately, did not qualify for the COVID-19 vaccine at that time, and got infected. His condition grew worse over time, and he eventually had to be placed on an ECMO machine to let his lungs heal.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and he ended up with a double-lung transplant in June 2021, to save his life.
Fact #4 : Simon Cowell Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Simon Cowell death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fake fact check article by the MediaMass Project, which keeps “updating” the dates in their fake fact check article:
News of television host Simon Cowell’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the February 2024 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the creator of Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor is alive and well.
Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Simon Cowell’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the British television host’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Saturday (February 10, 2024), our beloved television host Simon Cowell passed away. Simon Cowell was born on October 7, 1959 in London. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 64-year-old television host was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.
Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major British network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a television host of Simon Cowell’s stature would be major news across networks.
Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Simon Cowell Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.
He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet.
Hidden in the description page for the MediaMass Project is a disclaimer that they are a “satire” website. That’s the usual “cover” for websites peddling fake news.
Regardless of their reasons, anything posted by MediaMass.net must be considered as fake news, until proven otherwise.

Did Taylor Swift murder a fan, and drink his blood in a satanic blood ritual, in order to join the Illuminati?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Did Taylor Swift Murder Fan In Illuminati Blood Ritual?!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Taylor Swift murdered a fan, and drank his blood, in a satanic blood ritual in order to join the Illuminati!
Here is an excerpt from the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Taylor Swift ‘Murdered a Fan’ In Satanic Blood Ritual To Join Illuminati, Insider Claims
Taylor Swift murdered a young fan in a Satanic blood sacrifice ritual, according to production staff from Swift’s concert movie who allege the pop superstar was also forced by music industry Illuminati to drink the young boy’s blood.
It has long been claimed Hollywood stars and entertainment industry celebrities need to join the Illuminati to make it to the top of the industry, but few people outside of the Illuminati inner-circle truly understand what this means.
Back in 2009, Swift was initiated into the entertainment industry Illuminati as part of a televised occult mega-ritual known as the VMAs.
According to production staff, it was at this time that Swift took the life of one of her young fans at an industry party, in a private room, surrounded by middle-aged industry executives who witnessed the act and later defiled the body after inviting Taylor to drink the boy’s blood.
This is when Swift’s work began to be tainted with the codes and symbolism of the occult elite.
Truth : Taylor Swift Did Not Murder Fan In Illuminati Blood Ritual!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Taylor Swift Did Not Murder Anyone
Let me start by simply pointing out that there is no evidence Taylor Swift murdered anyone, neither fan or enemy, in order to join the Illuminati.
If there was even a whiff of such a crime, it would have been covered breathlessly by the media all over the world, and the many celebrity blogs. Yet, no legitimate media outlet or celebrity blog mentioned this juicy story?
The People’s Voice certainly offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim. Perhaps it will at least lodge a police report and give them the evidence? I won’t hold my breath for that…
Fact #2 : That Photo Was Taken In October 2015
The People’s Voice article and video used a pixelated photo of Taylor Swift with a fan. Was this supposed to be the fan she was alleged to have murdered?
But we know that it can’t possibly be the child Taylor Swift was accused of murdering in 2009, because the photo was taken in October 2015 – some 6 years later!
If that was not the child that Taylor Swift allegedly murdered, then why did they use that photo?
On top of that – that photo does not show Taylor Swift with a little boy. That child is actually a 6 year-old girl called Taylor Rayburn.
Taylor Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, noticed Taylor Rayburn at Taylor Swift’s concert in Atlanta, Georgia, and invited her to sit together during the show.
After the show, Andrea Swift invited Taylor Rayburn, who was suffering from a rare form of kidney cancer, to meet her daughter for a hug and photo op. Taylor Rayburn’s mother would later post the photos above on Facebook, with the caption:
Thank you Mrs. Andrea and Taylor Swift for making my child’s year! She needed this!
Taylor and her entourage were the sweetest and most humble people. She is just like you see on tv…I think we were all star struck!:)
This is a night she will always remember!! She left saying, ‘I can’t tell if this is a dream or for real!’ So amazing!
Isn’t it disgusting that some people would stoop so low as to use this little girl’s photo to create fake news???
Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did E. Jean Carroll admit she was “100% lying” to help President Biden destroy Donald Trump?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : E. Jean Carroll Admits Lying To Help Biden Destroy Trump!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that E. Jean Carroll admitted on CNN that she lied about being raped in order to “help Biden destroy Trump”!
Here is an excerpt from the article, which is long and (intentionally?) rambling. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Trump Rape Accuser Admits She’s “100% Lying” To Help Biden Destroy Trump
Donald Trump rape accuser E. Jean Carroll admitted on CNN Monday morning that she lied about being raped in order to “help Biden destroy Trump.”
Carroll joined CNN This Morning where boasted that Trump “was like nothing” when she saw him in person while in court.
“He’s an emperor without clothes. It’s like looking at nothing. It was like, nothing,” she said with a crazed look in her eye.
Of course, the Democrat party and Washington D.C. establishment are using lawfare to paint Trump as a criminal and using Carroll to take votes away from the 45th President.
Asked how she plans on using the tens of millions of dollars the judge ordered Trump to pay her, the accuser said she often talks with her lawyer about the “good” they’re going to do with the money.
“We’re not going to waste a penny of this. We have some good ideas we’re working on,” she told CNN, admitting some of them are specifically aimed at stopping Trump from being elected.
Truth : E. Jean Carroll Did Not Admit Lying To Help Biden Destroy Trump!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : E. Jean Carroll Did Not Admit Lying To Help Biden Destroy Trump!
This is really silly, but let me start by pointing out that E. Jean Carroll did not ever say that she was “100% lying” about being raped to help President Biden destroy Donald Trump, as alleged in The People’s Voice article.
If she really said that on CNN, it would have been major news covered by other news outlets in the United States, especially conservative news outlets like Fox News and OANN. It would also have gone viral on social media, with conservative and right-wing personalities criticising her for lying in a court of law.
However, there is no evidence E. Jean Carroll ever made such a confession, and The People’s Voice offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.
Fact #2 : E. Jean Carroll Won Two Defamation Lawsuits Against Trump
E. Jean Carroll (born Elizabeth Jean Carroll on 12 December 1943) has always said that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in late 1995 or early 1996 in the Bergdorf Goodman store in New York City.
She confided in two friends, Lisa Bimbach and Carol Martin, shortly after the assault. She would later sue Donald Trump twice for defamation, winning twice. That would not be possible if E. Jean Carroll admitted lying about being raped or sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.
Fact #3 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Did Bruce Willis just die suddenly on the way to the hospital?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2023-01-27 : Updated with new details and versions. Originally posted @ 2023-05-30
Claim : Bruce Willis Just Died On The Way To The Hospital!

Truth : Bruce Willis Did Not Die On The Way To The Hospital!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate income from page views and YouTube advertising, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death
These YouTube videos have been circulating for weeks and months, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media reported Bruce Willis’ death.
Never mind the slew of ridiculously terrible movies he participated in before his retirement, Bruce Willis remains a Hollywood mega star. His diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) got front page news all over the world!
If Bruce Willis really did die, whether from his dementia, a car accident, or a heart attack, the worldwide media would have reported it. Such momentous news would not have been left to a bunch of small-time celebrity death blogs / small YouTube and Facebook channels!
The truth is – no legitimate media outlet reported that Bruce Willis died suddenly from any cause, because it never happened
Fact #2 : Bruce Willis Is Still Alive + Well!
Bruce Willis did not die, and is still very much alive and well, as of Saturday, 27 January, 2024. That was when he posted a photo of himself on his official Instagram account.
Bruce Willis officially retired from acting in March 2022, after his aphasia diagnosis, and his family announced that his aphasia was caused by frontotemporal dementia on February 16, 2023.
However, Bruce Willis did not die in 2022 or even February, May, August, or December 2023 as alleged by people on social media. He’s very much still alive!
In fact, on Tuesday, January 23, 2023, he posted a video on Instagram, showing him with his grandchildren at the beach.
I analysed the photos used in these videos, and traced the origin of three examples used in many of these videos.
This photo that shows Bruce Willis on a hospital bed, was edited from a stock photo of an old man, taken by Raul Rodriguez. It’s titled “Elderly 80 plus year old man recovering from surgery in a hospital bed“.
In addition, the purple ribbon isn’t used for awareness of frontotemporal dementia, which is relatively uncommon. The purple ribbon is often used to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and pancreatic cancer.
Incidentally, frontotemporal dementia is different from Alzheimer’s disease, affecting a different part of the brain, and presenting with different symptoms.
This photo of a large funeral is not of Bruce Willis, but of Irish makeup artist Cathriona White, taken on October 10, 2015.
If you look carefully, you can spot actor Jim Carrey looking sombre next to the pallbearer. He dated Cathriona White for three years, from 2012-2015. She died from a suicide by prescription drug overdose on September 28, 2015.
The fake news creator just added a photo of Bruce Willis, making it look like Jim Carrey and the lady beside him were carrying it. The truth is there was no photo, and they were just holding hands.
This photo of Bruce Willis’s funeral is also fake. This is actually a photo of Serbian folk singer, Šaban Šaulić, who died on February 17, 2019. His funeral was held on February 22, 2019.
The fake news creator flipped the photo, and superimposed a large and overly bright head of Sylvester Stallone together with a photo of Bruce Willis magically floating in front of him!
Fact #4 : Bruce Willis Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too
This Bruce Willis death hoax, ironically, is also being driven by another fake fact check article by MediaMass Project.
News of actor Bruce Willis’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the January 2024 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his roles in The Fifth Element or Die Hard is alive and well.
Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Thursday after a ‘R.I.P. Bruce Willis’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:
“At about 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (January 25, 2024), our beloved actor Bruce Willis passed away. Bruce Willis was born on March 19, 1955 in Idar-Oberstein. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”
Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 68-year-old actor was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Did Jamie Dornan recently suffer a heart attack from the COVID-19 vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Jamie Dornan Suffered Heart Attack From Vaccine!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which suggests Irish actor Jamie Dornan recently suffered heart attack symptoms that was likely caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, but is instead being blamed on caterpillars by the media!
Here is an excerpt from the article, which is (intentionally?) long and confusing. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Fully Vaccinated Actor Hospitalized With ‘Heart Attack Symptoms,’ Media Blames Caterpillars
Fully vaccinated actor Jamie Dornan was hospitalized after suffering heart attack symptoms and the mainstream media wants you to know that it definitely wasn’t a mRNA vaccine side-effect.
The 50 Shades of Grey and The Tourist leading man became the latest young and healthy person to be struck down with a bizarre heart ailment. But according to the media, Dornan’s health scare was not caused by the vaccines. It was caused by … toxic catterpillars.
Dornan was hospitalized with “heart attack symptoms” during a vacation in Portugal, according to his friend Gordon Smart.
The actor was on a boys’ trip with Good Morning Britain host Smart and other friends last year when he fell mysteriously ill.
Recalling the incident on BBC’s “The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected” podcast, Smart revealed that they first thought they’d had too many drinks the night before — but apparently the culprit turned out to be pine processionary caterpillars, which are toxic.
Smart said, “We had a great time the first day, played loads of golf, went out, lots of wine was drunk and then we got on to espresso martinis.” But the next day, Dornan was “Absolutely dreadful.”
Dornan is the latest in a long line of celebrities and influencers to suffer heart attack symptoms after taking the Covid vaccine during the pandemic.
Many independent publishers have reported on the dozens of healthy individuals, including professional athletes, suddenly dropping dead since the vaccine roll-out.
Hundreds of these young and healthy YouTube influencers have been diagnosed with cancer now – and many of them have admitted they are suffering from rare and aggressive turbo cancers.
Truth : Jamie Dornan Did Not Suffer Heart Attack From Vaccine!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Two Friends Were Hospitalised At The Same Time
I should start by pointing out that it wasn’t just Jamie Dornan who was hospitalised in Portugal. His friend, Gordon Smart, was hospitalised at the same time!
What do you think are the odds of two friends suffering a heart attack from their COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time? Of course, The People’s Voice article offered no evidence that their hospitalisations were due to COVID-19 vaccines.
Perhaps that’s why the long article curiously left out Jamie Dornan’s friend who was hospitalised at the same time! It would have introduced too many inconvenient questions, wouldn’t it?
Fact #2 : Jamie Dornan Did Not Suffer A Heart Attack
The People’s Voice article suggested that Jamie Dornan suffered heart attack symptoms, and is the “latest young and healthy person to be struck down with a bizarre health ailment”. Well, that’s not really true.
Sometime in March 2023, Jamie Dornan went on a golf trip in Portugal with three friends – one of whom was Scottish broadcaster Gordon Smart.
As Gordon Smart recounted the story on a BBC comedy podcast, he (not Jamie Dornan) started feeling some “tingling” in his “left hand” and “left arm”, which he thought was “normally the sign of the start of a heart attack”.
It was Gordon Smart who was taken to the local hospital, where his heart beat was measured at 210 beats per minute (tachycardia). It was at the hospital where he saw Jamie Dornan as well. According to Smart, Jamie Dornan was hospitalised soon after him, after his limbs went numb:
There [Dornan] was with all this stuff attached to this chair saying, ‘Gordon, about 20 minutes after you left, my left arm went numb, my left leg went numb, my right leg went numb. And I found myself in the back of an ambulance.
Gordon Smart never said that Jamie Dornan suffered a heart attack. In fact, Gordon never said he suffered a heart attack either. He only “thought” the tingling sensation he experienced might be early symptoms of a heart attack.
Jamie Dornan himself never spoke about his hospitalisation in Portugal. In fact, a source close to Dornan refuted Gordon Smart’s story:
He never went into the hospital — he even played a game of golf the next day and won.
Fact #4 : It Was Gordon Smart Who Mentioned Caterpillars
The People’s Voice article claimed or suggested that the mainstream media came up with the story that Jamie Dornan’s health scare was caused by toxic caterpillars. That’s not true either.
It was Gordon Smart (again) who mentioned in the BBC comedy podcast that their health scare was likely caused by the pine processionary caterpillars. He said that he received a “phone call from the doctor” a week after the golf trip, to ask if the group came in contact with caterpillars on the golf course.
The doctor also sent him a local news story about processionary caterpillars, which have thousands of tiny hairs that have an irritating protein called thaumetopoei, which can cause rashes and allergic reactions.
It turns out that there are caterpillars on golf courses in the south of Portugal that have been killing people’s dogs and giving men in their 40s heart attacks. It turns out we brushed up against processionary caterpillars and had been very lucky to come out of that one alive.
So there’s my story. The good news is it wasn’t a caffeine overdose, it wasn’t a hangover. It was a poisonous, toxic caterpillar.
Even though Gordon Smart suggested that the caterpillars might cause heart attacks, the truth is – pine processionary caterpillars do not cause heart attacks. They can cause severe rashes, and allergic reactions, but not heart attacks.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
