Did FBI seize tape of Hillary Clinton killing child at Diddy party?!

Did the FBI just seize a tape of Hillary Clinton killing a child at a Diddy “Freak Off” party?! Take a look at the shocking claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : FBI seized tape of Hillary Clinton killing child at Diddy party!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed / suggested that FBI just seized a tape of Hillary Clinton killing a child at a Diddy “Freak Off” party!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) rambling and confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

FBI Seize Diddy Tape Showing Hillary Clinton Killing Child at ‘Freak Off’ Party

Seized footage from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ notorious parties allegedly feature Hillary Clinton in scenes that will upend the political establishment in Washington D.C. and send shock waves around the world.

Diddy now sits in prison, fearful that he will not survive long enough to face his day in court, while rumors circulate that Hillary is anxious she will be the next powerful figure to be exposed.

Hillary has survived countless scandals, but this time, there’s no covering it up — the tide has turned, the truth is being laid bare, and it’s about to rock the entire system to its core.

Now, Diddy is facing life behind bars and plans to use these tapes to strike a deal, potentially exposing numerous celebrities who were associated with him.

While this might help Diddy, it could spell trouble for Hillary Clinton, who is known to be among those implicated.

Pizzagate is real and the elite are desperate to cover up evidence of the conspiracy. Hillary Clinton can’t stop talking about it and she is clearly living in fear of the Diddy revelations coming out.

Show less

Truth : FBI did not seize tape of Hillary Clinton killing child at Diddy party!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

FBI did not seize any tape of Hillary Clinton killing a child

Let me start by simply pointing out that there is no evidence the FBI seized any tape of Hillary Clinton killing a child at a Diddy “Freak Off” party.

If the FBI actually seized a tape on Hillary Clinton killing a child anywhere, it would have led to a criminal investigation, and she would have been arrested. Yet, Hillary Clinton remains free, and not under investigation for any crime.

In fact, the FBI has never once said that it seized any tape of Hillary Clinton at any Diddy party, never mind one in which she is seen killing a child! If it ever made such a shocking announcement, it would have been widely reported by media outlets all over the world. But that never happened… because it was made up!

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence to back up its claims.

Hillary Clinton message to Diddy is fake!

The cover image used in The People’s Voice article and video has a censored screenshot which purportedly shows Hillary Clinton messaging Diddy:

Diddy, I need 2 boys… Let’s fillet his face.

That is definitely a fake screenshot. Think about this for a moment. If this was a real screenshot, why would The People’s Voice censor the rest of it? Surely, it would be extremely shocking and would have driven even more traffic for its article.

And how exactly did The People’s Voice obtain this allegedly private message between Hillary Clinton and Sean “Diddy” Combs? Did it hack into Hillary Clinton’s and/or Diddy’s phones?

Needless to say, The People’s Voice article provided no source for this shocking screenshot, which suggests that this is yet another fake message screenshot like those they posted before – example, example, example.

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 think twice about sharing anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Gavin Creel die suddenly from turbo cancer?!

Did Broadway star Gavin Creel die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine-induced turbo cancer?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Gavin Creel died suddenly from turbo cancer!

Right after news broke that Gavin Creel died at just 48 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the Broadway star died suddenly from turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Hello Dave : Fully Vaccinated Actor Gavin Creel, Star Of Broadway’s Hello, Dolly! Dead At 48 after being diagnosed with metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer in July 2024. #turbocancer 💉

Wayne Root : Excess deaths exploding like never in history. This 48 yr old Broadway star does of “aggressive turbo cancer.” Covid vaxx causes turbo cancer. Wanna bet? Ask his survivors if he was vaxxed? To act on Broadway? 100% chance. Get your head out of your ass.

Jon Munro : Tony Award Winner Gavin Creel Dead at Age 48: Cause of Death Revealed

YEAH… if JABBED, the JAB did it as it is causing TURBO CANCERS everywhere! FAUCI MUST BE INDICTED, along with THOUSANDS of others!

Show less

Truth : Gavin Creel did not die suddenly from turbo cancer!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists…

Gavin Creel died from metastatic cancer

Gavin Creel (born Gavin James Creel on 18 April 1976) was a Tony Award-winning American actor, singer, and songwriter who starred on American Horror Stories, and is best known for his work in musical theatre.

In July 2024, Gavin Creel was diagnosed with metastatic melanotic peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma – a rare and aggressive type of cancer affecting the connective tissue surrounding peripheral nerves. Creel died under hospice care at his Manhattan home on 30 September 2024, at the age of 48.

Such malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumours are aggressive, and have a poor prognosis. Even if caught early and surgically removed, research has shown that there is a local recurrence rate of 42%, a distant metastasis rate of 27%, and a mortality rate of 26%.

It was worse for Gavin Creel because his cancer was already “metastatic” by the time it was detected. In other words, it had already spread to other parts of his body. Hence, it is not surprising that his prognosis would be so grim, and he would die so quickly after diagnosis.

Turbo cancer does not exist

I should point out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and after billions of doses have been administered worldwide in the past 3.5 years – there is still no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.

In Creel’s case, it appears that he was diagnosed late, and the aggressive cancer had already spread (extensively?) to other parts of his body.

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!

Unknown if Gavin Creel was vaccinated against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Gavin Creel was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has not publicly mentioned his vaccination status. It is possible that Gavin Creel was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

Ironically, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Grayson Murray, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless he (or his family) reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Gavin Creel was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely misinformed, or lying to you. None of us know that.

Playbill article shows Gavin Creel was vaccinated against flu

Some people claiming that Gavin Creel was fully-vaccinated have shared a screenshot of a Playbill article, highlighting this section:

Into the Woods stars Andy Karl, Stephanie J. Block, Gavin Creel, and more received their free vaccines following a matinee performance this past weekend.

What you may not realise is that – the Playbill article was referring to the flu vaccine, and not the COVID-19 vaccine. In short, Gavin Creel received the flu (influenza) vaccine in October 2022, not the COVID-19 vaccine.

Did Suge Knight accuse Diddy of blackmailing Obama?!

Leave a reply

Did Suge Knight accuse Diddy of blackmailing Barack Obama?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Suge Knight accuses Diddy of blackmailing Barack Obama!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed that Suge Knight just said that Diddy has been working with the FBI and has blackmail material on Barack Obama!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) rambling and confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Suge Knight Claims Diddy Holds ‘Blackmail Material’ on Barack Obama

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been working with the FBI his whole career and has blackmail material on some of the most powerful people in America – including former President Barack Obama.

This allegation comes from Suge Knight, the incarcerated former CEO of Death Row Records and a long-time associate and rival of Combs.

Knight appeared on Chris Cuomo’s News Nation show on Wednesday and dropped a series of bombshells regarding Diddy’s influence over powerful figures including Barack Obama.

Knight pointed out Diddy’s leverage over Obama was so powerful that he once had the former president get his friend out of prison after he was jailed on drug charges.

Knight claims that the rapper has been intricately linked to pedophilia and elite power dynamics since the outset of his career.

He continued to note that despite his reputation as Diddy’s rival, he was friends with the mogul for many years and declared that his recent arrest came as a surprise because he had been “involved with the FBI for most of his career.”

Suge also admitted the rapper will not be safe in jail and is unlikely to make it to trial.

Show less

Truth : Suge Knight did not accuse Diddy of blackmailing Barack Obama!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Suge Knight never mentioned Barack Obama

Let me start by pointing out that Suge Knight never mentioned Barack Obama in his NewsNation interview with Chris Cuomo.

If Suge Knight actually accused Diddy of blackmailing Barack Obama, such a shocking news would have been reported by news outlets and celebrity websites all across the world. Barack Obama might even be forced to make a public statement.

Yet, there was not even a hint of such a scandal involving Barack Obama on social media, never mind any legitimate news report, because it was all made up!

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence to back up its claims.

Barack Obama did not release any Diddy friend over drug charge

Suge Knight also did not claim that Barack Obama ordered the release of a friend of Sean “Diddy” Combs who was jailed on drug charges.

There is also no evidence that Barack Obama ever ordered the release of any of Diddy’s friends who were imprisoned on drug charges.

Yet again, The People’s Voice article did not provide any evidence to back up that claim.

Suge Knight only accused music execs

In his NewsNation interview with Chris Cuomo, Suge Knight only accused music executives of being responsible for the misconduct of musicians like Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In a call from prison, the former CEO of Death Row Records, who is currently serving 28 years for running over and killing a man, told Chris Cuomo that his artists used to smoke only weed, but allegedly got into heavier drugs after signing on with other record labels.

Those guys … they introduced cocaine to my artists. So once they got on cocaine, once they got on drugs, once they got on alcohol, then that’s when the weird stuff happened. I think that’s what took Puffy [Combs] down that lane.

Suge Knight then went on to accuse Clive Davis, Russell Simmons, and Andre Harrell of using “alcohol, drugs” to compromise Diddy’s “manhood”.

[Combs] was taught that. He got Usher as a kid … alcohol, drugs, sex. Justin Bieber — and see they do these things to take control. … You choose to be gay that’s your preference, but they’re doing this to people for control.

To be clear – none of those music moguls were ever charged for those allegations made by Suge Knight, or charged with any drug or sex crimes.

Did Taylor Swift lose $125M after Kamala Harris endorsement?!

Leave a reply

Did Taylor Swift lose $125 million in brand deals, after endorsing Kamala Harris against Donald Trump?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Taylor Swift lost $125M after endorsing Kamala Harris!

Right after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris against Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential election, people started claiming or suggesting that Taylor Swift lost $125 million in brand deals as a result of her decision.

SpaceX Fanclub : Taylor Swift Loses Brand Deals Worth $125 Million After The Big Endorsement

Pamala Trago : Good she needs to be exposed for the demonic influence she is 💯

Sam Ghannoum : Good, you ungrateful singer and movie stars 🔥
Taylor Swift unexpectedly lost $125 million brand contract after a massive advertising campaign. 😂

Truth : Taylor Swift did not lose $125M after endorsing Kamala Harris!

This is yet another example of fake news circulating about Taylor Swift and Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…

No evidence Taylor Swift lost brand deals over Kamala Harris endorsement

First, let me just point out that there is no evidence Taylor Swift lost any brand deal over her endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential election.

If Taylor Swift actually lost any major brand deal, never mind $125 million worth of brand deals, it would have been widely reported not just by the mainstream media, but also celebrity blogs. It would also have sparked outrage by Swifties – Taylor Swift fans for the uninitiated.

Yet, there has been no credible reporting, not even by hyper-competitive celebrity blogs. Even Taylor Swift fans have not fallen for this hoax. That’s because it never happened.

It was just satire

These claims appear to be based on an Esspots article (archive). Here is an excerpt:

Taylor Swift Loses Brand Deals Worth $125 Million After The Big Endorsement

In what can only be described as a seismic shift in the world of pop culture and product placements, Taylor Swift, America’s sweetheart-turned-political commentator, has reportedly lost brand deals worth a staggering $125 million. The reason? Her latest “big endorsement,” which seemed to hit all the wrong notes with some of her biggest sponsors.

It may not be readily apparent, but if you look carefully, you will see that the Esspots article is labelled as Satire. At the very bottom of the article, it is also stated “NOTE: This is SATIRE, Not Real.”

The graphic used by SpaceX Fanclub (which appears to be linked to Esspots) has a Rated Satire overlay on the upper left corner, and its Facebook post (archive) has a disclaimer – This is Satire.

Esspots said Taylor Swift endorsed a vegan cryptocurrency

While the title and lede appears to suggest that Taylor Swift was “cancelled” by big brands over her endorsement of Kamala Harris, the Esspots article (archive) actually said that it was over her endorsement of a “vegan cryptocurrency”!

Here is an excerpt of the relevant section:

Was it a presidential candidate? A new movement? A cause everyone can get behind? No. In a twist that no one saw coming, Swift endorsed…a vegan cryptocurrency backed by none other than Elon Musk’s second cousin.

Her exact words? “This crypto is the future, and honestly, we need to save the planet—and our portfolios.”

It appears that many people did not bother to read the Esspots article beyond the first 2-3 paragraphs, and jumped to the conclusion Taylor Swift lost $125 million in brand deals over her endorsement of Kamala Harris.

The truth is – the satirical article by Esspots claimed that Taylor Swift just endorsed a vegan cryptocurrency. Needless to say, there is no such thing as vegan cryptocurrency.

Esspots is a satire website

Esspots identify itself as a satire website. If you look at their About Us page, it’s stated clearly that it is dedicated to bringing you “fake news and absurdity”:

Did Celine Dion attend her son’s wedding in a wheelchair?

Was Celine Dion forced to attend her son’s wedding in a wheelchair after suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2024-09-13 : Added new video, and updates.

Claim : Celine Dion attended her son’s wedding in a wheelchair!

People are sharing videos on YouTube, TikTok and social media platforms, which claim to show Celine Dion attending her son’s wedding in a wheelchair, after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome.

It’s just so heart breaking to watch !!

Singer Celine Dion attending her son’s wedding, she was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition known as stiff-person syndrome.

A reminder that health is the most important aspect of life…..

shishillah : Celine Dion gets up from her wheelchair to dance with her son

christfm993 : So pathetic. Everything in Life is temporary. The famous successful singer Celine Dion can no longer walk nor lift any part of her body.

Truth : Celine Dion did not attend her son’s wedding in a wheelchair!

This is yet another example of fake news created to go viral on YouTube, TikTok and social media platforms, and here are the reasons why…

Celine Dion revealed her diagnosis in December 2022

First, let’s start with a quick recap on Celine Dion’s Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis.

Celine Dion (born Céline Marie Claudette Dion on 30 March, 1968) announced in an emotional video on 8 December 2022, that she had been struggling with health issues for a long time.

She did not mention how long ago she started experiencing muscle spasms, but they became so “severe and persistent” that on 19 October 2021, she delayed her Las Vegas residency. Then on 15 January 2022, she was forced to cancel the US and Canadian concerts from 9 March to 22 April 2022.

It was only recently that the muscle spasms Celine Dion was suffering from was diagnosed as Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) – a rare neurological disorder with features of an autoimmune disease.

I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. And it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.

Recently I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome which affects something like one-in-a-million people.

While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms I’ve been having.

Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.

That lady was Kathy Poirier, not Celine Dion

The lady in the wheelchair was not Celine Dion, but a 55 year-old mother called Kathy Poirier from Florida.

Kathy Poirier suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a progressive nervous system disease that causes a loss of muscle control.

When her 28 year-old son, Zak Poirier, married Anja d’Adesky, 27, on 9 April 2022, she had already lost the ability to walk, and arrived in a wheelchair.

Kathy Poirier and her sons

Kathy Poirier danced with her son at his wedding

The viral videos were edited to show Celine Dion (really Kathy Poirier) being lifted to hug her son who tears up, before she is placed back on her wheelchair.

In the real video, Kathy actually danced with her son on his wedding day! In his now-deleted Instagram post, Zak explained:

My Mom was diagnosed with ALS shortly before I graduated law school. Since that time, I’ve watched her bravely fight her diagnosis and challenge the odds against her.

Despite not being able to stand on her own, my Mom and I shared a dance at my wedding. She inspires me every day to be humble, kind and selfless. Love you Mom.

On that day, Zak and his two brothers escorted her to the dance floor for the mother-son dance. The three brothers then lifted her off the wheelchair.

With his brothers holding her upright, Kathy Poirier was able to dance with Zak that day. Her sons then lowered her back onto her wheelchair while their guests gave them a standing ovation.

Their wedding planner, Root to Stems also posted a video on Instagram, which went viral last year.

Celine Dion can still stand and walk

Just to be clear, Celine Dion is not suffering from ALS, but from SPS – Stiff Person Syndrome.

As of September 2024, Celine Dion is able to stand and walk on her own, as well as sing and act. In fact, she just finished a commercial for L’Oréal Paris.

This is just another fake video

This is just another example of fake videos created by content creators to go viral, and here are other examples you may have seen:

Did Queen’s Brian May suffer stroke from COVID-19 vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Queen guitarist Brian May just suffer a stroke from the COVID-19 vaccine?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Brian May suffered a stroke from COVID-19 vaccine!

Right after Brian May revealed that he suffered a minor stroke a week ago, some people immediately suggested that the Queen guitarist may have been injured by the COVID-19 vaccine.

The People’s Voice : Queen Guitarist Brian May, Who Promoted Covid Vaccines During Pandemic, Unable To Use Arm Following Stroke

Fully vaccinated and boosted Queen guitarist Brian May, who promoted the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines during the pandemic, has revealed he suffered a stroke earlier this week leaving him unable to use his arm.

Like many other vaccinated celebrities, he had news to share about a sudden and unexpected medical emergency.

Sudden And Unexpected : Fully vaccinated and boosted Queen guitarist Brian May, who promoted the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines during the pandemic, has revealed he suffered a stroke earlier this week leaving him unable to use his arm.

Lidiya Angelova : Brian May promoted so called COVID-19 vaccines. Stroke is a common adverse reaction to these gene products. The problem is that many innocent will die and get sick because listened to him.

Covid Vaccines were NEVER SAFE : Pfizer Covid 2021 Batch strikes again? Brian May suffers stroke. Same Brian May who pushed and promoted the experimental COVID vaccines.

Show less

Truth : Brian May did not suffer a stroke from COVID-19 vaccine!

It is now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to immediately blame all injuries or deaths on the COVID-19 vaccines.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 vaccines…

Fact #1 : Brian May suffered from a minor stroke

On 27 August 2024, Sir Brian May (born Brian Harold May on 19 July 1947) mentioned that he suffered “a small health hiccup“, which forced him to miss his wife’s performance at the Albert Hall the night before.

On Wednesday, 4 September 2024, the Queen guitarist finally revealed that he had suffered a minor stroke, and was taken to Frimley Hospital in an ambulance.

That little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke.

All of a sudden, out of the blue, I didn’t have any control over this arm, so it was a little scary, I have to say.

Notably, Brian May was not diagnosed with Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) – a rare side effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

Fact #2 : Brian May temporarily lost control of his arm

Brian May revealed that he suddenly lost control of his left arm. That is not one of the symptoms of TTS. May also said that he was now fine, and can play the guitar again with full control of his left arm.

The good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days.

Fact #3 : TTS occurs soon after AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination

It is simply impossible for Brian May to suffer a blood clot from the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, because it would have occurred within days or weeks.

TTS, which is also known as Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT), occurs soon after a person receives the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and has a very specific diagnostic criteria:

Received the vaccine 4 to 42 days prior to symptom onset
Any venous or arterial blood clot (often cerebral or abdominal)
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) of less than 150 x 10⁹/L
Test positive for PF4 heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Markedly elevated D-dimer (> 4x the upper limit of normal)

Now, we obviously do not have Brian May’s medical report, and we don’t know whether he actually received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (instead of a different COVID-19 vaccine).

But we do know that the UK government stopped using the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in winter 2021. So even if Brian May received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, it wouldn’t have caused TTS / VITT some 3 years later!

Fact #4 : COVID-19 blood clot risk is much higher

What you may not know is that COVID-19 infections greatly increases the risk of developing blood clots – up to 41% in positive patients, and up to 95% in severe COVID-19 cases.

Blood clots can also develop (through different mechanisms) with smoking and the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCP). Back in May 2021, we created this table to better demonstrate the risk:

	Risk	Difference
Thrombocytopenia in severe COVID-19 cases	Up to 95%	45,238X
Thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 cases	Up to 41%	19,524X
Dying from COVID-19 Infection	0.25% to 10%	119X to 4762X
Thrombosis from OCP (Adult)	Up to 0.46%	219X
Thrombosis from Smoking	0.18%	85.7X
Thrombosis from OCP (Adolescents)	Up to 0.01%	4.8X
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (AstraZeneca Vaccine)	0.0021%	Baseline

Steve Kirsch : New normal. It’s so obvious that it’s the Covid shots causing this.

Tommy Robinson : ‘Fatman scoop’ becomes the latest in a huge line of people to “die suddenly” on stage or on a sporting field in the last few years. We all know what’s happening. #ArrestFauci

Naughty Beaver : Fatman Scoop, vaccinated, “Died suddenly” on stage in the middle of a performance.

Truth : Fatman Scoop did not die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine!

It is now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to immediately blame all injuries or deaths on the COVID-19 vaccines.

Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 vaccines…

Fact #1 : Fatman Scoop’s cause of death is still unknown

Let me start with a quick summary of the circumstances around his sudden death.

On Friday, August 30, 2024, Fatman Scoop (born Isaac Freeman III on August 6, 1971) was performing at the Town Center Park in Hamden, Connecticut, when he suddenly suffered a medical emergency and collapsed on stage.

His collapsed was caught on video. Fatman Scoop was seen climbing onto a platform, and struggling to go around the DJ. He then said, “If you came to party…” and pausing a moment before saying breathlessly “make some noise“, and then he collapsed out of view.

Medics tried to revive Fatman Scoop, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital. The next morning, his manager – DJ and producer Birch Michael, announced his death “with the heaviest of hearts“. And Fatman Scoop’s family then posted their statement, saying that “the world lost a radiant soul, a beacon of light on the stage and in life“.

Neither Fatman Scoop’s manager, nor his publicist Chanel Rae, or his family, have stated his cause of death. They certainly did not blame the COVID-19 vaccines for his death.

In fact, it has been speculated that an energy drink he consumed may have contributed to his death. Sharron Elkabas, the CEO of Fatman Scoop’s PR firm, told The Hollywood Reporter that the hiphop artist drank an energy containing stimulant compounds before his performance:

He had an energy drink before going on stage. He never drank energy drinks, but he did before this show.

Fatman Scoop also shared earlier that he suffered from COVID-19 and cellulitis in April. How bad was it? Did that COVID-19 infection, or his cellulitis, play any part in his death months later? Who knows?

The truth is – none of us know what caused Fatman Scoop’s death. Until and unless his family, or the Connecticut Medical Examiner reveals his official cause of death, no one knows for sure how he died – whether it was a heart attack, a cardiac arrest, or something else.

Fact #2 : Fatman Scoop was not vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fatman Scoop has publicly stated in an interview with Lil Jon that he was against the COVID-19 vaccines, and did not want to take it. He also stated (wrongly) that “the vaccine only MASKS the symptoms”.

I don’t want the vaccine. I’ll take my chances. No vaccine for me.

It is therefore impossible for Fatman Scoop to die from any COVID-19 vaccine side effect. After all – he never got vaccinated against COVID-19!

With that, Fatman Scoop now joins the list of unvaccinated people whose sudden deaths (or injuries) were abused by anti-vaccination activists for their agenda, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Will those anti-vaccination activists apologise? I highly doubt it. They will likely just move on to the next sudden death / injury…

Fact #3 : Vaccine side effects appear with hours / days

Some people have also claimed (without evidence) that Fatman Scoop may have changed his mind, and got vaccinated against COVID-19.

But even if Fatman Scoop ended up getting the COVID-19 vaccine, he would have received his doses at least three 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.

Is Stallone opening anti-woke coffee shops to counter Starbucks?!

Is Sylvester Stallone opening a chain of anti-woke coffee shops to counter Starbucks?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Stallone is opening anti-woke coffee shops to counter Starbucks!

Some websites are claiming that Sylvester Stallone is opening a chain of anti-woke coffee shops called Knockout Brews to counter Starbucks!

Top News In USA / Animal News / Food News : Breaking: Sylvester Stallone to Open Chain of Anti-Woke Coffee Shops to Compete with Starbucks

2024 News : Breaking: Sylvester Stallone to Open Chains of Anti-Woke Coffee Shops to Counter Starbucks

Here is an excerpt from those articles, which is extremely long and (intentionally?) confusing. So feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

In a bold move that melds celebrity entrepreneurship with cultural commentary, Sylvester Stallone has announced his plans to open a chain of coffee shops, envisioned as a direct counter to Starbucks, focusing on a ‘no-nonsense’, traditional coffee experience. This new venture, dubbed “Knockout Brews,” aims to offer an alternative to what Stallone describes as the “overly politicized atmosphere” of mainstream coffee chains.

The idea came to Stallone after a visit to a local Starbucks, where he felt the environment had become too infused with corporate advocacy and cultural statements, which he believes detracts from the simple pleasure of enjoying a good cup of coffee. “Coffee should be about comfort, about a moment of peace in your day,” Stallone remarked during the announcement of his new business venture. “Knockout Brews is about bringing that back, focusing solely on quality and service, leaving politics out the door.

Stallone’s vision for Knockout Brews is clear: to provide a coffee shop experience that prioritizes the product and the customer without venturing into social or political discussions. The decor of each location will feature a blend of rustic and modern aesthetics, with memorabilia from Stallone’s films subtly incorporated to enhance the brand’s identity without overpowering the core focus on coffee.

Knockout Brews plans to source beans from non-conflict zones, emphasizing quality and sustainability. The menu will be straightforward, eschewing the often complex and exotic offerings of larger chains for classic coffee drinks done right. “We’re going back to basics, but we’re going to nail those basics,” Stallone asserted.

In addition to coffee, Knockout Brews will offer a selection of pastries and simple, hearty breakfast items, all sourced from local suppliers whenever possible. Stallone is keen on supporting local economies, stating, “It’s about community, about sitting down and enjoying a moment of your day without any agenda.”

Truth : Stallone is not opening anti-woke coffee shops to counter Starbucks!

This is yet another example of fake news created to generate page views / ad revenue, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Slyvester Stallone is not opening any coffee shop

Let me start by pointing out Sylvester Stallone is not opening any coffee shop, much less a chain of them to compete with Starbucks.

We know that for sure because he never mentioned opening a coffee shop even once in his official website, or official social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, or X (formerly Twitter), where he shares personal photos and highlights, as well as his latest ventures and projects.

In addition, such a major venture would have been covered widely, not just by celebrity websites and blogs, but also the mainstream media across the world. Why would such a momentous decision only be covered by some unknown websites???

Simple answer is – it was all made up! Sylvester Stallone isn’t opening up any coffee shop, much less a whole chain of them to compete with Starbucks, which has over 38,000 outlets globally!

Unsurprisingly, none of those websites ever provided any evidence to back up their claims, not even a photo of the announcement event.

Fact #2 : They Were AI-Generated

I also ran the text through generative AI detectors, and they all confirmed that the “article” about Sylvester Stallone opening anti-woke coffee shops were created using AI writing tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.

QuillBot : 100% of text is likely AI-generated

Scribbr : 80% chance your text is generated by AI

ZeroGPT : 78.76% your text is AI/GPT generated

Copyleaks : AI content detected

Undetectable AI : Your content is detected as written by AI

Thanks to the ease in creating large amounts of text using generative AI, it appears that many people are creating these nonsensical websites filled with fake stories to generate page views, and ad revenue.

Did Paris Olympics mock Christians with Last Supper parody?!

Leave a reply

Did the Paris Olympics mock Christians with a “woke” Last Supper parody featuring drag queens?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Paris Olympics mock Christians with Last Supper parody!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that the Paris Olympics mocked Christians with a “woke” Last Supper parody featuring drag queens!

Dr. Eli David / Ms Paroo / dinesh / Eddie :

Even as a Jew, I am infuriated by this outrageous insult to Jesus and Christianity… How do you feel about it as Christians?

Visegrád 24 : Gratuitous blasphemy at the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris.

The Art of Purpose : The opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics feature Trannies and drag queens re-creating the last supper. What is wrong with the French?

Michael Clary : The opening ceremony of the Olympics making fun of Christ and the Last Supper. Is anyone out there still denying that LGBTQ is a demonic cult?

Show less

Truth : Paris Olympics did not mock Christians with Last Supper parody!

This is yet another example of misinformation being propagated on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was Not A Parody Of The Last Supper

Let me start by pointing out that The Olympic Games already stated that its opening ceremony show was an “interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus“. In other words, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics did not feature a “woke” parody of The Last Supper, with drag queens.

The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.

#Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony

Show less

The official Olympics account on X posted this before the controversy and baseless claims blew up on social media, so it is pretty interesting to see that many people are unaware…

After the controversy blew up, Thomas Jolly – the Paris Olympics 2024 artistic director who created that tableau, said that it had nothing to do with Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper painting, telling the news channel BFMTV on Sunday, 28 July that:

It’s not my inspiration and that should be pretty obvious. There’s Dionysus arriving on a table. Why is he there? First and foremost because he is the god of celebration in Greek mythology and the tableau is called ‘Festivity’.

He is also the god of wine, which is also one of the jewels of France, and the father of Séquana, the goddess of the river Seine. The idea was to depict a big pagan celebration, linked to the gods of Olympus, and thus the Olympics.

You will never find in me, or in my work, a desire to mock or denigrate anyone. My aim was to create a ceremony that heals and a ceremony that reconciles, but also a ceremony that reaffirms the values which are those of our Republic of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity freedom, and absolutely not to mock anyone.

Show less

Jolly also said that his intention was to capture France in all its diversity because "in France, we have the right o love each other, as we want, with whoever we want, in France we have the right to believe and not to believe. In France, we have many rights."

Fact #2 : The Scene Had Nothing To Do With The Last Supper

The screenshots being shared on social media appear to be cropped (intentionally?) to make them appear similar to The Last Supper painting.

But if you watch the opening ceremony, or look at the unedited photos, you will quickly realise that it doesn't really depict The Last Supper painting.

For one thing - the "table" wasn't even a table at all. Rather, it was the catwalk on which models showed off the latest fashion by France's most promising young designers. In addition, the scene had dozens of performers, not just 13 men representing Jesus Christ and his twelve disciples - including women, at least one child, and at least one drag queen.

The show also featured the Greek God Dionysus painted blue, and covered in flowers and fruit. He was even seen sitting on a platter of flowers with a gigantic steel cover over him. That certainly does not look like Jesus Christ, if you ask me... even in the most artistic imagination! Of course, the blue Dionysus was somehow (miraculously) missing in those controversial screenshots and photos!

Ultimately, it looks like the controversy was fuelled by the mischievous, or simply fortuitous, cropping of the photos or screenshots, that make them appear to be similar to The Last Supper painting.

Fact #3 : The Last Supper Was Artistic Interpretation

I should point out that no one actually knows what the real last supper that Jesus Christ had with his twelve disciples actually looked like. The famous painting that everyone compared the Paris Olympics opening show to, was a mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci, who lived almost 1,500 years after the birth of Jesus Christ.

Needless to say - Leonardo da Vinci did not witness the actual last supper of Jesus Christ, and his disciples. The Last Supper was therefore, da Vinci's artistic interpretation, and does not actually show what happened. After all, who would actually sit like that in real life - only on one side of an extremely long table???

If the Paris Olympics was somehow based on The Last Supper, then it would be mocking da Vinci's painting, and not the event itself.

If anyone should be insulted, it would be fans of Leonardo da Vinci, and not Christians per se... unless they actually believe that Jesus Christ and his twelve disciples really sat only on one side of a table for their last supper together???

Or do they believe Leonardo da Vinci travelled back in time, and actually witnessed the scene to accurately depict it in his famous painting? Interesting...

Did Sylvester Stallone just die suddenly in the hospital?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2024-07-27 : Added new updates, including new Facebook and MediaMass claims.

Truth : Sylvester Stallone did not die suddenly anywhere!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by people to generate likes, engagement, page views, gain followers, or income from advertising, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Sylvester Stallone Is Still Alive + Well!

Hollywood legend, Sylvester Stallone (born Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone on July 6, 1946), is still very much alive and well, as of 26 January 2024.

For those who readily believe claims that Sylvester Stallone has died without even asking for evidence, here are some recent “proof of life”…

On Friday, 26 July 2024, Sylvester Stallone posted a video at the set of the second season of Tulsa King.

This group knows how to work hard. Times almost up on the set of Tulsa King Season 2. 🥊

As you can see, Sly Stallone is still very much alive and well, even regularly keeping in shape in his gym – weeks and months after these fake YouTube videos claimed that he died in a hospital, at home, or even on the street!

Fact #2 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported His Death

These YouTube videos have been circulating for months and years, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported his death.

Sylvester Stallone is a Hollywood icon, starring in the Rocky and Rambo movies, as well as more recently, The Expendables movies.

No legitimate media outlet reported that Sylvester Stallone was sick, much less died suddenly in a hospital!

If Sylvester Stallone did indeed die, the worldwide media would have reported on his death. Yet, no one but an unknown Facebook page, small YouTube and TikTok channels picked up on his tragic death? That’s because it never happened.

Fact #3 : The Photos Were Edited

The photos used in these videos were edited from real photos, with some celebrities added in to make it look genuine. In this example, the fake news creator added overly large heads of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.

The actual photo is of the February 2019 funeral of Argentinian footballer, Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash off Alderney on 21 January 2019.

The photo was taken by Associated Press, and shows Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois and Emiliano Sala’s brother, Dario, helping to carry his coffin at his funeral on 19 February 2019.

Even when it comes to the really good photo-editing efforts, there are still some clues to show you that these were edited images.

In this example, you can see that Sylvester Stallone’s chin appeared to be cut out. More damning is pillow which had a Queensland Health logo on it.

Unless Sylvester Stallone happened to be filming in Queensland, Australia; there is no way he would end up being treated in its hospital!

Fact #4 : Sylvester Stallone Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Sylvester Stallone death hoax is, ironically, also being driven by a fact check article by the MediaMass Project.

News of actor Sylvester Stallone’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the July 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 Rambo or Rocky is alive and well.

Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Saturday after a ‘R.I.P. Sylvester Stallone’ 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 (July 25, 2024), our beloved actor Sylvester Stallone passed away. Sylvester Stallone was born on July 6, 1946 in New York. 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 78-year-old actor, director and producer 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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Sylvester Stallone’s stature would be major news across networks.

Show less

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Sylvester Stallone Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Sylvester Stallone’s unnamed rep confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps of celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Angelina Jolie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Gibb, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Celine Dion, Clint Eastwood, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justine Bieber, Lionel Messi, Lucy Liu, Madonna, Melanie Laurent, Mike Tyson, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks.

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 Jack Black say “Don’t miss Trump next time” at concert?!

Leave a reply

Did Jack Black say “Don’t miss Trump next time” at a concert after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Jack Black Said “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time” At Concert!

Some people are claiming that Jack Black said “Don’t miss Trump next time” at a concert after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump!

Benny Johnson : Jack Black in front of an audience: “Don’t miss Trump next time”

Kyle Becker : “Don’t miss miss Trump next time.” @JackBlack makes an absolutely sick remark about the Trump assassinat*on attempt at a Tenacious D concert. There is no place for this kind of hateful rhetoric in America.

Chuck Callesto : BREAKING NOW: Actor Jack Black tells crowd at Tenacious D Concert “DON’T MISS TRUMP next time.”

iamyesyouareno : Jack Black: “don’t miss Trump next time.” What a fat piece of shit.

Morgan J. Freeman : Thoughts on Jack Black saying in front of an audience: “Don’t miss Trump next time”

Show less

Truth : Jack Black Did Not Say “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time”!

This is yet another example of fake news surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Video Was Recorded In Australia

Let me start by confirming that the video is genuine. However, it was recorded in Sydney, Australia; and not in Canada or the United States, as some are claiming or suggesting.

While people can be heard laughing at the comment, the audience were largely Australians who play no part in American politics.

Fact #2 : Jack Black Never Said “Don’t Miss Trump Next Time”

More importantly, Jack Black never said “Don’t miss Trump next time” in that video. It was his Tenacious D bandmate, Kyle Gass, who made that comment.

On 14 July 2024 – one day after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the rock duo known as Tenacious D – Jack Black and Kyle Gass played at the ICC Sydney Theatre.

During that concert, they celebrated Kyle Gass’ 64th birthday, with a robot presenting a birthday cake to Kyle on stage. Jack Black sang a birthday song to Gass, and then asked him to “make a wish”.

At that point, Kyle Gass looked at the camera and said, “Don’t miss Trump next time”, at which point the 9,000-strong crowd can be heard cheering and laughing.

There are several videos circulating online, but the one below appears to be the most common. Regardless of which video you saw – they all show the same thing. It was Kyle Gass, not Jack Black, who said “Don’t miss Trump next time”.

So you have to wonder – did those people who claimed that Jack Black said “Don’t miss Trump next time” actually watched any of those videos???

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Jack-Black-Dont-Miss-Trump-Next-Time-video.mp4?_=1

Fact #3 : Kyle Gass Birthday Wish Was Reported Widely

Kyle Gass’ controversial birthday wish was reported widely by the mainstream media, and also drew condemnation in both the United States and Australia.

Daily Mail : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate makes vile concert outburst about Trump shooting

New York Daily News : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate to shooter: ‘Don’t miss Trump next time’

The Independent : Jack Black’s Tenacious D under fire for Donald Trump joke hours after shooting

7News : Jack Black’s Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass suffers intense backlash over sick Donald Trump joke hours after assassination attempt

Variety : Jack Black’s Tenacious D Sparks Uproar After Kyle Gass Remarks, ‘Don’t Miss Trump Next Time’

So how is it possible for people to still claim that Jack Black made that controversial comment???

Fact #4 : Australian Senator Called For Tenacious D Deportation

In fact, one Australian federal senator was apparently so outraged, he called for Tenacious D to be deported:

Tenacious D should be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at their Sydney concert.

I condemn in the strongest possible way the call to political violence by Tenacious D in Sydney on Sunday.

To advocate and or wish for the assassination of a President is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape or form.

This was not a joke, he was deadly serious when he wished for the death of the President.

While it is questionable that the senator would know about Kyle Gass’ state of mind when he made his birthday wish, what is clear is that it was not Jack Black who made the comment.

It does not appear that the Australian government is moving to deport Tenacious D over the comment, but the concert on Tuesday night (16 July 2024) has been postponed until further notice.

Truth : Celine Dion Did Not Get Stiff Person Syndrome From Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created or propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Celine Dion Did Not Get Stiff Person Syndrome From Vaccine!

Let me just start by pointing out that Celine Dion most definitely did not develop Stiff Person Syndrome from the COVID-19 vaccine… because she had been suffering from it for over a decade!

Céline Dion (born Céline Marie Claudette Dion on 30 March, 1968) announced in an emotional video on 8 December 2022, that she had been struggling with health issues for a long time. In fact, she first developed signs and symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome more than 14 years earlier!

In a 23 May 2024 interview with Vogue, Céline Dion shared how she first noticed symptoms of the rare disorder. It was 2008 and Dion was on her “Taking Chances World” tour, when she shared, “quite rapidly, I was having difficulty controlling my voice“.

Then, during her Las Vegas residency and five more tours, she noticed her muscles stiffening and she eventually needed support while walking.

In a 11 June 2024 interview with Hoda Kotb on the Today show, Celine Dion also revealed that she ignored her condition to care for her ailing husband, who was suffering from throat cancer, as well as her family. She also tried to hide her condition from her family, but eventually, her symptoms became too much to ignore:

My husband as well was fighting for his own life. I had to raise my kids, I had to hide. I had to try to be a hero.

Feeling my body leaving me, holding on to my own dreams… I could not do this anymore. Lying for me, the burden was too much. Lying to the people who got me where I am today, I could not do it anymore.

It was only when the COVID-19 pandemic hit that Céline Dion was forced to slow down her pace, and it gave her time to finally get some answers.

When the pandemic arrived, I said to myself, the universe makes no mistakes, and I will take this time — this opportunity — to search.

After additional testing, her doctors finally diagnosed her with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) – a rare and incurable neurological disorder with features of an autoimmune disease.

Her symptoms became so “severe and persistent” that on 19 October 2021, she delayed her Las Vegas residency. Then on 15 January 2022, she was forced to cancel the US and Canadian concerts from 9 March to 22 April 2022.

To be clear – Celine Dion first noticed symptoms of Stiff Person Syndrome more than 11 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and more than 13 years before COVID-19 vaccines became widely available. Her condition also progressively deteriorated years before the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines.

So she definitely did not develop Stiff Person Syndrome from the COVID-19 vaccine, and neither did the COVID-19 vaccine exacerbate her condition.

Fact #2 : COVID-19 Vaccines Do Not Cause Stiff Person Syndrome

Many anti-vaccination activists are pointing out that Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) is one of the 1,291 Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) found in 9 pages of a Pfizer document that was released by the FDA.

As I explained back in March 2022, the “List of Adverse Events of Special Interest” (AESI) is NOT a list of side effects caused by the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. Rather, that was a list of 1,291 potential adverse events that Pfizer was specifically looking for when vaccinated people send in their reports through VAERS or the Yellow Card systems.

Just because Stiff Person Syndrome is in the AESI list does not mean the vaccine causes it. It is just one of the many adverse events Pfizer wanted their post-authorisation safety teams to look out for. To be clear – there is no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can possibly cause Stiff Person Syndrome.

Fact #3 : AESI List Is Generic + Includes Irrelevant Adverse Events

While anti-vaccination activists keep insisting that the AESI list is a list of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine side effects, that’s nonsense. The AESI list is generic and not specific to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, because it was determined before clinical trials even began!

That’s why the AESI list includes diseases caused by other viruses – Herpes, MERS, Varicella; as well as “exposure to SARS-CoV-2” and other “communicable disease”.

The list also included manufacturing and lab test issues, like “Manufacturing laboratory analytical testing issue, Manufacturing materials issue, Manufacturing production issue“. Even product supply issues were included – “Product availability issue, Product distribution issue, Product supply issue“.

They are obviously not vaccine side effects, nor related in any way to the performance or safety of the vaccine.

Did Jodie Devos die suddenly from vaccine turbo cancer?!

Leave a reply

Did opera singer Jodie Devos die suddenly from turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccines?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Jodie Devos died suddenly from vaccine turbo cancer!

Right after news broke that Jodie Devos died at just 35 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the Belgian opera singer was killed by turbo cancer caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

DiedSuddenly : Jodi Devos was only 35 years old & beautiful. Another vaccinated celebrity has died suddenly. Cause of death: turbo cancer

Erin Elizabeth : 🚨‼️Breaking: stunning young fit, beautiful and barely 35, another celebrity died. She was fully vaccinated. Cancer.

Truth : Jodie Devos did not die from vaccine turbo cancer!

It is now tradition for anti-vaccine activists to immediately blame all injuries or deaths on the COVID-19 vaccines. Here are the reasons why this is yet another example of fake news about the COVID-19 vaccines…

Jodie Devos died from breast cancer

Jodie Devos (born 10 October 1988 in Libramont-Chevigny, Belgium) was a Belgian operatic coloratura soprano who released three critically-acclaimed solo albums, and performed in concerts all over the world.

She died from breast cancer in Paris on 16 June 2024, surrounded by her family. Her agency, Intermezzo, announced her death:

It is with infinite sadness that we announce the death of our artist Jodie Devos in Paris on June 16, 2024

Hundreds of people attended her funeral at the Saint-Aubin Cathedral in Namur on Saturday, 22 June.

It is unknown when her breast cancer was diagnosed, but she had to cancel several prior engagements. She last performed publicly at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris in April this year, and was supposed to sing at the same venue on 20 June.

The Belgian News Agency reported that she died from “the effects of aggressive breast cancer“. Her agency said that she died from “breast cancer that had forced her to cancel several engagements“.

Turbo cancer does not exist

I should point out that there is no such thing as “turbo cancer”, and after billions of doses have been administered worldwide in the past 3 years – there is still no evidence that any COVID-19 vaccine can cause cancer, or make cancer go “turbo”.

Breast cancer can be detected late, or progress rapidly. For example, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive and invasive type of breast cancer that is more common in younger women, and is extremely difficult to treat.

Unknown if Jodie Devos was vaccinated against COVID-19

Despite claims or suggestions that Jodie Devos was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Jodie Devos was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in Belgium.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family (or the authorities) reveal her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Jodie Devos was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

COVID-19 vaccine side effects appear within hours / days

Even if Jodie Devos was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses about three years ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

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.

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 Monday, 24 June 2024! Of course, you guys want “proof of life”, right?

Well, just last week, Celine Dion appeared at a screening of her documentary – I Am: Celine Dion in New York City on Monday, 17 June 2024. She looked well, wearing a silky white blouse top and matching maxi skirt, as she posed as the screening.

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!

Fact #3 : Celine Dion Death Photos Were Edited

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!

What a terrible, terrible Photoshop edit! If you are going to cheat people, at least put in some effort!

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 June 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 Saturday (June 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 56-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.

Show less

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.

The statement from Celine Dion’s unnamed rep confirming that she is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps of celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Angelina Jolie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Gibb, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justine Bieber, Lionel Messi, Lucy Liu, Madonna, Melanie Laurent, Mike Tyson, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, Sylvester Stallone, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks.

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.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

Did Robert De Niro support Israel against Palestinian supporters?!

Leave a reply

Did Robert De Niro confront a group of Palestinian supporters in support of Israel?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Robert De Niro Supports Israel Against Palestinian Supporters!

People are sharing a video, claiming or suggesting that it shows Robert De Niro confronting a group of Palestinian supporters in support of Israel!

Im Tirtzu: It’s so refreshing to see more people not letting narrative take over their common sense. Well done Robert De Niro, thank you for supporting Israel!

I LOVE watching them eat their own!💯

The Jewish Voice : Legendary actor Robert DeNiro stands up publicly and quite vocally in support of Israel. With anger and defiance in his voice, he says that the looming threat of Hamas is “real” and that this is not a movie. He reminds those listening that Hamas has vowed to replicate the horrific massacre of October 7th, again and again and that the world should wake up to the dangers that the international terror organization presents to the Western world.

Spitfire: DeNiro has had enough of the animals he helped create😂😂

I LOVE watching them eat their own!💯

It was even covered by Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, which triumphantly declared (archive):

Watch as Robert De Niro Confronts pro-Palestinian Protesters in New York

Actor Robert De Niro expressed support for Israel when he confronted pro-Palestinian protested on set of his new film. ‘If you’re going to keep talking nonsense, then you gotta go home’

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Robert-De-Niro-stands-with-Israel-video-small.mp4?_=3

Truth : Robert De Niro Did Not Support Israel Against Palestinian Supporters!

This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Robert De Niro Was Acting On ‘Zero Day’ Set

Let me start by confirming that the video is genuine, and shows Robert De Niro saying:

This is not a movie. This is real. Right now, you gotta listen, you gotta work, you gotta get your job done.

Stand by, offer your support, prayers, that’s great. But you gotta do it from behind the barricade. And if you’re going to keep talking nonsense, then you gotta go home.

These people are dangerous, and they say they are going to do it again! Again! We don’t want that. You don’t want that. None of us want that.

Come all, let’s all get serious.

However, it does not show Robert De Niro confronting Palestinian supporters in support of Israel. It actually shows Robert De Niro acting on the set of the Netflix TV series, Zero Day, in New York City on 27 April 2024.

At around 0:13 of the viral video clip, you can see actor Jesse Plemons just behind and to DeNiro’s right.

From about 0:15 onwards in the video, you can see a woman to his left repeatedly looking at a tablet and at Robert DeNiro, as if she was checking to see if he was following the script.

Needless to say – the video has nothing to do with Palestine, or Israel, or the October 7 attack by Hamas.

Fact #2 : ‘Zero Day’ Has Nothing To Do With Israel / Palestine

Just in case you are wondering – Zero Day is an upcoming TV series from Netflix. While its plot is not known, it has been described as a political conspiracy thriller that is centred around a devastating global cyberattack.

In that scene, De Niro’s character, former American President George Mullen, appeared to be talking to firefighters and paramedics carrying wounded people on stretchers, and not pro-Palestinian supporters.

As far as we can tell – Zero Day has nothing to do with Israel or Palestine. It is certainly not based on the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, as the project started in November 2022, and casting started in April 2023.

Fact #3 : Video Was Originally Released Earlier

The viral video clip was released earlier on TikTok, and those posting it did not claim that it had anything to do with the pro-Palestine protests. In fact, they clearly used hashtags referring to the Netflix miniseries, Zero Day.

Even Breitbart – hardly the fount of truth, commented on the original video clip (archive), stating that Robert De Niro was acting at the scene of Zero Day, with Jesse Plemons in the background.

It was only from 1 May onwards that someone added subtitles, and a false overlay stating “Robert De Niro Stands with Israel!”

Fact #4 : Robert De Niro’s Rep + Netflix Confirmed It’s Fake

After the video went viral, Newsweek contacted the staff of the Zero Day miniseries, and both Robert De Niro’s rep, and Netflix, confirmed that the viral video clip was fake and had nothing to do with the pro-Palestinian protests.

Stan Rosenfield of Rosenfield Media Group, which represents the award-winning actor, said the video that is circulating that insinuates De Niro is arguing with protesters is “100 percent fake.”

“It is 100 percent a scene from Mr. De Niro’s Netflix TV series, Zero Day, where his character is talking to extras,” Rosenfield told Newsweek Tuesday in a phone interview.

A spokesperson for Netflix also verified that the images were captured during a rehearsal for the series.

Did Stormy Daniels Wear Mushroom Dress To Trump Trial?!

Did Stormy Daniels wear a mushroom dress to the Donald Trump trial in New York?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Stormy Daniels Wore Mushroom Dress To Trump Trial!

People are claiming or suggesting that Stormy Daniels wore a mushroom dress to mock Donald Trump at his “hush money” trial in New York!

Mayor of Funkytown : Stormy Daniels chose to wear this dress today to court. I can’t imagine why. 🤣

Truth : Stormy Daniels Did Not Wear Mushroom Dress To Trump Trial!

This appears to be another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Photo Of Mushroom Dress Was Edited!

Let me start by quickly pointing out that the viral photo of Stormy Daniels wearing a mushroom dress is fake. It was most definitely edited by simply adding orange mushrooms to the original photo.

If you look carefully, you can see that the mushrooms were simply added to her blue dress, and they do not change with the folds of her dress.

It was actually edited from a photo taken when Stormy Daniels went for her television interview on The View in New York, in April 2018. She wore a shiny blue dress that day, without any mushrooms on it.

Fact #2 : Stormy Daniels Confirms Photo Was Edited

Stormy Daniels herself refuted the viral photo, stating that it was photoshopped from her 2018 appearance on The View.

I keep seeing this stupid dress photo. And although it is funny, it is not real. This is a photoshopped photo from my 2018 appearance on The View.

Fact #3 : Stormy Daniels Has Not Attended Trump Trial

Stormy Daniels also pointed out that she is not in New York City, and has not attended Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial. In fact, she is “currently directing a TV show in a completely time zone”!

It is scary how gullible a lot of people are because I’m not in NYC and haven’t been to court yet. I’ve been directing a TV show in a completely different time zone.

Fact #4 : Viral Photo Based On Infamous Mushroom Line-Up!

Just in case you are wondering what the fuss is about, the mushrooms are a reference to the infamous October 2018 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, in which Stormy Daniels picked out President Donald Trump’s penis from a mushroom line-up.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Stormy-Daniels-Trump-mushroom.mp4?_=4

Since then, Donald Trump has be associated with short and fat mushrooms. Anytime people speak of Trump and mushrooms in the same sentence, it is in reference to his penis shape and size.

Truth : Bruce Willis Did Not Die At Home After Years Of Suffering!

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 Sunday, 21 April,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, 2023, or even April 2024 as alleged by people on social media. He’s very much still alive!

In fact, on Sunday, 21 April 2023, his family posted a video on Instagram, showing him with his granddaughter Louetta.

Fact #3 : Bruce Willis Death Photos Were Edited

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.

Recommended : The Sara Lee Car Accident / Death Video Scam!

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 April 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 Saturday 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 Saturday (April 20, 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 69-year-old actor 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 American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of an actor of Bruce Willis’ stature would be major news across networks.

Show less

Their claim of a viral R.I.P. Bruce Willis Facebook page is false. There is no such Facebook page. It is their standard fake fact check spiel for fake celebrity deaths.

The statement from Bruce Willis’ unnamed reps confirming that he is not dead is exactly the same as statements from other reps of celebrities MediaMass claimed were victims of death hoaxes, like Angelina Jolie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry Gibb, Brad Pitt, Celine Dion, Clint Eastwood, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dolly Parton, Harrison Ford, Justine Bieber, Lionel Messi, Lucy Liu, Madonna, Melanie Laurent, Mike Tyson, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Pattinson, Simon Cowell, Sylvester Stallone, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks.

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.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Fake Celebrity News

Did Mandisa Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did American Idol star Mandisa just die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Mandisa Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Mandisa died suddenly at 47 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the American Idol alumnus and Christian gospel singer was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Steve Kirsch : Mandisa, Grammy award-winning ‘American Idol’ alum, dead at 47. Died suddenly.

Covid vaccines are the #1 cause of sudden death according to statistics that I was able to gather on timing.

Oddly, nobody else is gathering these statistics. I wonder why?

K-Pop Singer-Songwriter Park Boram Found Dead at 30.

No cause of death #diedsuddenly

TxGuy2022 : Vax nap? ‘American Idol’ alum, gospel singer Mandisa dead at 47 – Fox News

FUNinoUSA : Another celebrity. #GoneTooSoon. #CovidVaccines lead to @DiedSuddenly_. Sad. Lovely person. 🙏🏼😢 @resilient333 @toobaffled @MakisMD

Show less

No Evidence Mandisa Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Mandisa’s Cause Of Death Has Not Been Determined

Let me start by pointing out that Mandisa’s cause of death has not been determined. So it would be ludicrous for anyone to claim that she died from the COVID-19 vaccines.

On Thursday, 18 April 2024, Mandisa (born Mandisa Lynn Hundley on 2 October 1976) was found dead in her Nashville-area home.

Mandia’s representative, The Media Collective, issued a statement confirming her death, and stating that her cause of death is not yet known:

We can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased. At this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details. We ask for your prayers for her family and close knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.

To be clear – neither Mandisa’s representative nor her family knows her cause of death.

Fact #2 : Franklin Police Is Investigating Her Death

Max Winitz, a spokesperson for the Franklin Police Department. said that its officers are involved in an “active death investigation” on Friday, 19 April 2024 – a day after Mandisa was found dead.

While he declined to confirmed her identity, he said that the death was being “Actively investigated”:

What I can confirm is that our officers responded to a residence for a death investigation Thursday evening, and it’s being actively investigated.

Until and unless the police, the coroner or her family announces her cause of death, or releases her autopsy report, anyone who claims that Mandisa died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Mandisa Suffered From Depression

Although her cause of death has not been determined or revealed, suicide appears to be a possibility. Mandisa revealed in a 2017 interview with ABC News that she struggled with depression, and even contemplated suicide.

It got pretty bad — to the point where if I had not gotten off that road I would not be sitting here today.

I was this close to listening to that voice that told me, ‘You can be with Jesus right now, Mandisa. All you have to do is take your life.’

Now, that does not necessarily mean Mandisa committed suicide. She could easily have died from a cardiac arrest, a heart attack, a stroke – common medical episodes that have been killing people long before COVID-19 vaccines were invented.

Again, we should wait for the police investigative report, and her official cause of death, and not make baseless claims on social media!

Fact #4 : Unknown If Mandisa Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Despite claims or suggestions that Mandisa was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Mandisa was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States.

Until and unless her family (or the authorities) reveal her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Mandisa was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear With Hours / Days

Even if Mandisa was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses more than two years ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

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.

Please help us FIGHT FAKE NEWS by sharing this fact check article out, and please SUPPORT our work!

Don’t forget to protect yourself, and your family, by vaccinating against COVID-19!

Dolly Parton Just Died Suddenly From Cancer?!

Legendary singer Dolly Parton just died suddenly from cancer?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2024-04-20 : Updated with new version and new details.

Claim : Dolly Parton Just Died Suddenly In Hospital!

People are sharing YouTube and Facebook videos claiming that legendary singer Dolly Parton just died suddenly in a hospital of cancer or a stroke, with titles like :

With heavy hearts as we report sudden death of 76-year-old singer Dolly Parton, goodbye and rest.

Truth : Dolly Parton Did Not Die Suddenly From Cancer!

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 : No Legitimate Media Outlet Reported Her Death

These YouTube and Facebook videos have been circulating for months now, but people don’t seem to notice that no legitimate media has reported Dolly Parton’s death.

Dolly Parton is such a big celebrity and a legend in the music industry, her death would have been covered globally by the media and celebrity blogs.

Yet, no legitimate media outlet, nor celebrity blog, has reported that Dolly Parton died recently from any cause. Why should you believe no-name websites, or random YouTube / Facebook videos??

Fact #2 : Dolly Parton Is Still Alive + Well!

Dolly Parton (born Dolly Rebecca Parton on May 13, 1946) is still very much alive and well, as of Friday, April 20, 2023, when she posted on Instagram with players from the New York Yankees at the Yankee Stadium.

And just two days earlier, she posted an Instagram photo promoting the pre-order of her upcoming cookbook – Good Lookin’ Cookin’ (US | UK | AU).

All those posts came many weeks to months after those YouTube and Facebook videos claimed that she died suddenly from cancer, a stroke, or some “dangerous disease”.

Fact #3 : The Videos Provided No Evidence For Her Death

To generate ad money, the videos must engage you long enough, so they come up with some story that Dolly Parton was suffering from “cancer”, a “dangerous disease” or a “stroke”, and they drag out the video with details about Dolly Parton’s life.

In any case, after watching the videos, you will realise that none of them actually provided any evidence that Dolly Parton died from cancer, or any dangerous disease.

That may anger you, but it doesn’t matter. They got you to watch the video, generating income for them. And they know that most people will not realise that, and forward the fake news to their family and friends!

Fact #4 : They Videos Used Stock Photos

To make their videos more convincing, these fake video creators add faces of celebrities like Sylvester Stallone and Blake Shelton to the fake Dolly Parton funeral photos.

Take for example, this photo of Sylvester Stallone apparently leading the pallbearers carrying Dolly Parton’s coffin. Not only is Stallone smirking (odd for a funeral, isn’t it?), his head looks strange – it’s too large and you can see a second ear just right ear!

That’s because the fake news creator use the funeral photo from Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries that was taken on Sunday, January 21, 2018 by Getty photographer, Charles McQuillian, in her hometown of Limerick in Ireland.

The fake news creator had to make Sylvester Stallone’s head larger to cover up the face of the man in the real photo, but even so, was not able to cover up the man’s right ear completely.

The fake news creator also added a photo of Dolly Parton. In the real photo, you can see that the man was not holding anything.

Fact #5 : Dolly Parton Death Hoax Is Driven By Fake Fact Check Too

This Dolly Parton death hoax, ironically, also bring driven by another fake fact check article by MediaMass Project.

News of singer Dolly Parton’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the April 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 9 to 5, I Will Always Love You or Jolene is alive and well.

Rumors of the singer’s alleged demise gained traction on Monday after a ‘R.I.P. Dolly Parton’ 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 Thursday (April 18, 2024), our beloved singer Dolly Parton passed away. Dolly Parton was born on January 19, 1946 in Sevierville. 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 78-year-old singer, songwriter and actress 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.

Did Park Boram Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did K-pop star Park Boram just die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Park Boram Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Park Boram died suddenly at just 30 years of age, some people immediately claimed or suggested the K-pop star was killed by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Hello Dave #excessdeaths / ⚜️Cassandre🐦Colibri✝️ :

K-Pop Singer-Songwriter Park Boram Found Dead at 30.

No cause of death #diedsuddenly

Nabootique : K-Pop star Park #BoRam dies aged 30 after collapsing at friend’s home from cardiac arrest.

This is getting crazy. The clot shots are killing thousands of young people. #Covid #myocarditis #DiedSuddenly

Bailey leo : So Many Young People Dying Since That Evil Jab! !

Show less

No Evidence Park Boram Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Park Boram Reportedly Suffered Cardiac Arrest

On Thursday night, 11 April 2024, Park Boram (born Park Bo-ram 박보람 on 1 March 1994) was drinking with two friends at a residence in Namyangju, Gyeonggi, when she excused herself to go to the washroom.

When Park Boram did not return for an extended period of time, her friends looked for her and found her “slouched over the sink, unconscious” at around 9:55 PM. They called for an ambulance, while one of her friends performed CPR, and attempted to revive her.

Park Boram was reportedly suffering from a cardiac arrest when the police and emergency services reached her. She was transported t to the Hanyang University Guri Hospital, while receiving CPR, but was ultimately declared dead at 11:17 PM.

Fact #2 : Cause of Death + Autopsy Report Not Revealed Yet

An autopsy was conducted on Park Boram on Saturday, 13 April 2024, to determine her cause of death, while the police is conducting its own investigation into her death.

Until and unless the police, the coroner or her family announces her cause of death, or releases her autopsy report, anyone who claims that Park Boram died suddenly from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Heavy Drinking Can Cause Sudden Cardiac Death

Park Boram was reportedly drinking heavily before her sudden collapse and death. This is important, as alcohol is known to have “an immediate effect on cardiac rhythm“, and previous studies have shown that “a notable proportion of sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) occur after alcohol intake“.

2022 Finnish study suggests that majority of alcohol-related SCD occur at the late stage of inebriation.
2024 Korean study suggests that moderate and heavy drinking was associated with significantly increased risk of atrial fibrillation

The autopsy will determine whether Park Boram’s alcohol consumption was a contributing factor to her death. So please wait for the autopsy report, and/or her cause of death, to be revealed.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Park Boram Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Despite claims or suggestions that Park Boram was fully-vaccinated, there isn’t any actual evidence that she ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

It is possible that Park Boram was unvaccinated against COVID-19, because the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the South Korea.

Until and unless her family (or the authorities) reveal her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Park Boram was vaccinated or otherwise, is likely lying to you. None of us know that.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear With Hours / Days

Even if Park Boram was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, she would have received her doses more than two years ago! She cannot possibly have suffered from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Truth : Taylor Swift Did Not Wear “I Love Vaccines, Abortions” Necklace!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news circulating on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Taylor Swift Necklace Photo Was Edited

Let me start by pointing out that Taylor Swift did not wear any necklace that said “I Love Vaccines, Autism, Abortions, Homosexuals, Sex Changes and Crime“.

If she actually wore something like that, it would have been reportedly by the mainstream media, as well as celebrity blogs. Yet, there was no legitimate media report, not even outrage by right-wing conservatives on social media.

That’s because it never happened – the photo was edited to falsely show that the pendant had the words “I Love Vaccines, Autism, Abortions, Homosexuals, Sex Changes and Crime“.

Fact #2 : It Was A Kobe Bryant Necklace

The silver necklace that Taylor Swift wore that night was designed by Vanessa Bryant – Kobe Bryant’s widow, for the Mambacita x ZC capsule collection sold by the jeweller Zoë Chicco.

The pendant featured Kobe Bryant’s famous quote – Bet on yourself, surrounded by a circle of diamonds.

As you can see in the photo of the actual necklace, the pendant does not say “”I Love Vaccines, Autism, Abortions, Homosexuals, Sex Changes and Crime“.

Fact #3 : Vanessa Bryant Highlighted Taylor Swift’s Necklace

After fans share the photo of Taylor Swift wearing the Kobe Bryant necklace-pendant, Vanessa Bryant reposted the photo, adding “We Love You Taylor“, a love emoji, and a Swifties sticker.

Fact #4 : Taylor Swift Is Close To Kobe Bryant + His Family

Taylor Swift has known Kobe Bryant and his family for many years. In 2015, Kobe Bryant actually made a surprise appearance at Swift’s concert in Los Angeles, where he unveiled a special banner to celebrate Swift’s 16th sold-out performance at the Staples Center.

In his 2019 interview on The Jordan Harbinger Show, Kobe Bryant said that he was a big fan of Taylor Swift, and revealed that she was close to his daughters even before she became a megastar.

I think it’s important to listen to people who do great things, you know? So it’s not just genre specific but it’s like, Taylor’s been at the top of the game for a very, very long time. How and why?

She’s a sweet kid. I mean, she was a sweetheart to my girls before she even blew up and became Taylor Swift. So that’s why I’ll always, if she needs anything from me, I’m always there.

Sadly, on 26 January 2020, Kobe Bryant and his 13 year-old daughter, Gianna, died in a helicopter crash, together with seven other people. Taylor Swift quickly paid tribute to the NBA legend.

My heart is in pieces hearing the news of this unimaginable tragedy. I can’t fathom what the families are going through. Kobe meant so much to me and to us all. Sending my prayers, love, and endless condolences to Vanessa and the family and anyone who lost someone on that flight.

Vanessa Bryant later created the Mamba and Mambacita Foundation in memory of her husband and daughter.

Fact #4 : Taylor Swift Wore Necklace In January 2024

I should also point out that Taylor Swift did not wear the necklace “last night” as in 4 April 2024.

That photo was taken on Thursday, 11 January 2024, when Taylor Swift was spotted walking to the Electric Lady Studios in New York City, wearing a fuzzy zebra-print jacket, olive green T-shirt and a pair of black leggings, with Ivy Park sneakers, a pair of sunglasses and a round necklace pendant.

Fact #5 : This Is Just Taylor Swift Fake News

As a megastar, it is inevitable that Taylor Swift would be a target of misinformation and fake news. Here are other Taylor Swift fake news that I fact checked:

Was the British Royal Family just formally accused of running the largest sex trafficking operation in the world?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Royal Family Was Formally Accused Of Sex Trafficking!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that the British Royal Family was just formally accused of running the largest sex trafficking operation in the world!

Diana Wallace : NEW INFO‼️ “Sir” Lucian Grainge CEO of Universal studios who is being investigated in the P. Diddy lawsuit on charges of running a pedophile sex trafficking ring has ties to the royal family. Here is a photo of Prince William “bestowing his knighthood.”

Matt Wallace : The Royal Family is formally being accused of running the largest sex trafficking operation in the world 🚨

A photo has resurfaced showing “Sir” Lucian Grainge being knighted by Prince William. “Sir” Lucian is now being investigated in the P. Diddy lawsuit in coordination with the alleged pedophile ring ⚠️

Prince Harry’s close ties with Sean Diddy Combs are in the spotlight after a litany of shocking sexual assault allegations in a case being brought by one of his former producers, Rodney Jones ⚠️

A witness said Prince Andrew ‘spent weeks’ at Jeffrey Epstein’s home and another accused him of participating in illegal activities with underage girls on Epstein Island. He participated in a now infamous interview where he was caught lying repeatedly ⚠️

Meanwhile, many believe they did something bad to Kate Middleton and are faking her “public appearances” to distract us.

Truth : Royal Family Was Not Formally Accused Of Sex Trafficking!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists and conspiracists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Royal Family Was Not Accused Of Sex Trafficking

Let me start by simply pointing out that the British Royal Family has not been formally accused of sex trafficking, never mind running the largest sex trafficking operation in the world!

These claims appear to be based on the civil lawsuit filed by record producer Rodney Jones Jr. (also known as Lil Rod). The lawsuit (PDF) named many defendants. However, none of them were members of the British Royal Family:

Sean Combs (Mr. Combs)
Justin Dior Combs (J. Combs)
Lucian Charles Grainge (Mr. Grainge)
Ethiopia Habtemariam (Ms. Habtemariam)
Kristina Khorram (Ms. Khorram)
Chalice Recording Studios (CRS)
Love Records (LR)
Motown Records (MR)
Universal Music Group (UMG)
Combs Global Enterprises (CGE)
John and Jane Does 1-10
ABC Corporations 1-10

To be clear – the British Royal Family has not been formally accused of running any sex trafficking operations.

Fact #2 : It Was A Civil Lawsuit

The lawsuit that was filed by Lil Rod was a civil lawsuit. In other words – none of the defendants were “formally accused” of any crime.

Fact #3 : Lucian Grainge Is Not Part Of Royal Family

Sir Lucian Charles Grainge – the Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group, is one of the defendants mention in the Lil Rod lawsuit. However, Lucian Grainge is not a member of the British Royal Family.

Fact #4 : Being Knighted Does Not Make Part Of Royal Family

Hilariously, some people are suggesting that since he was knighted by Prince William in 2016, Lucian Grainge is a member of the British Royal Family, and ergo, the Royal Family is being investigated for running the P. Diddy sex trafficking operation.

To be clear, being knighted grants Lucian Grainge the right to use the honorific Sir, but it does not make him a member of the British Royal Family!

Fact #5 : Knighthood Is Decided By UK Government

While the King (or a member of the Royal Family acting on his behalf) confers knighthoods, the selection or recommendation is undertaken by the Prime Minister after thorough vetting by the UK government (source).

Fact #6 : Lucian Grainge Accusations Were Just Amended!

The original lawsuit (PDF) was filed on 26 February 2024, but significantly amended on 25 March (PDF). The amended lawsuit now adds Cuba Gooding Jr. to the list of defendants, but significantly changed its accusations against Lucian Grainge and other defendants.

The original lawsuit, for example, claimed Rodney Jones Jr. witnessed Lucian Grainge disappearing “for hours” into Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ bedroom, and claimed that Grainge sponsored and attended several Love Album listening parties, and either knew or should have known that Combs was drugging people at those parties.

Mr. Jones recalls seeing Defendant Grainge15 visiting Mr. Combs home in Miami, Florida, and Los Angeles, California.

According to Mr. Jones, whenever Defendant Grainge visited Mr. Combs at his homes, it would be in the evening, and he and Mr. Combs would disappear for hours in Mr. Combs bedroom.

Defendant Grainge sponsored and attended several Love Album listening parties at Mr. Combs’ home in Los Angeles, California. These parties were sponsored by Defendants MR, LR, and UMG. As evidence above, these parties had sex workers and underage girls present.

During these parties, Defendant Grainge knew or should have known that Mr. Combs was drugging the attendees through laced bottles of DeLeon Tequila, and Ciroc Vodka.

The amended lawsuit, however, appears to remove all that, and simply claim that Lucian Grainge had a duty to ensure that the money Universal Music Group and Motown Records gave to Sean Combs was not being used for illicit purposes:

As the general business partners of Sean Combs and Love Records, Inc., and the financial backer for the creation of the Love Album, Defendant Lucian Charles Grainge, in his capacity as CEO of UMG, Motown Records, and Universal Music Group, had a duty to ensure that the financial support they provided to Sean Combs and Love Records was not being used for sex workers, drugs, and laced alcohol.

Donald Zakarin, who is representing Lucian Grainge and UMG called it the worst lawyering he had seen in nearly 50 years as an attorney:

In all that time, I have never seen any attorney display anything remotely like the utter indifference shown by Mr. Blackburn towards his obligations as an attorney.

I have never seen any lawyer, in any pleading, in any court, accuse people and companies of criminal conduct without the slightest basis and then try to file an amended pleading completely jettisoning every allegation underpinning the original claims and substituting completely different and irreconcilable allegations to support the very same claims.

Did Henry Cavill Help Nephew Prove Superman Is His Uncle?!

Leave a reply

Did Henry Cavill go to his nephew’s school to prove that Superman is really his uncle?! Take a look at the viral story + video, and find out what the FACTS really are!

Updated @ 2024-03-29 : Updated with the latest details, and new video.
Originally posted @ 2021-01-27

Did Henry Cavill Help Nephew Prove Superman Is His Uncle?

This cute story of Henry Cavill going to school to help his nephew, Thomas, prove that Superman is his uncle, keeps going viral.

Whether they are posted on Facebook, or in “viral websites”, the story generally goes along these lines, with a picture of Henry Cavill walking his nephew to school :

The day Uncle Cavill had to prove his nephew was not a liar.

Little Thomas, aged only 7, went to school dressed as Superman and the teacher asked why he was dressed like this.

“Because Superman is my uncle,” he replied.

The teacher then explained that Superman didn’t exist, but Thomas insisted, repeating numerous times that he existed, and that he was his uncle. And the kid ended up at the office…

An officer was asked to see him, to warn the child not to live in a fantasy world.

As the doubt remained, she called her brother-in-law, asking him to go to school to “save” her nephew, who was radiant for all his little friends to see that he was really Superman’s nephew!

The news was confirmed in the last few hours by Cavill himself, reiterating that he had saved his nephew from a bad punishment, given his reputation for “telling lies”.

Henry Cavill Did Not Help Nephew Prove Superman Is His Uncle!

As endearing as this story is, it was really fabricated from an old but true story from 2011. Many websites and videos keep resurrecting this story to “go viral” and make money. Here are the facts…

Fact #1 : Superman Uncle Incident Happened In 2011

This incident involving his nephew, Thomas, actually happened in 2011 when Henry first learned that he would be playing Superman in Zack Snyder’s film. This was what Henry Cavill said in his 2013 interview with Jay Leno:

My nephew Thomas was so super excited… he ran to school. Now keep in mind Thomas has got a great reputation for telling stories and just making up stuff to the teacher.

He says, “Well, because my uncle is Superman,” and she’s like, “Oh okay, and she pulls him aside. He got in trouble. [She was like] “this is sad.”

Fact #2 : Henry Cavill Told The Story In 2013 + 2018

Henry Cavill not only recounted this incident in June 2013 in an interview with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, he also repeated the story to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on their show in July 2018.

So all those viral and celebrity websites that claimed that Henry Cavill confirmed this “in the last few hours” lied to you. This is a really old story.

Fact #3 : Henry Cavill Did NOT Go To His Nephew’s School

Thomas’ mother – Henry’s sister-in-law – then explained to the teacher that the boy’s uncle “actually kind of is” Superman.

She did not ask Henry to “rescue” Thomas, so he did not actually go to his nephew’s school to prove that Superman is really his uncle.

Fact #4 : They Were Not Walking To His Nephew’s School

The (fake news) creators misappropriated a photo to make it look as if Henry Cavill was walking his nephew to school to prove that his uncle really is Superman.

The truth is this was one of the photos taken of Henry, who was walking in London with his brother Niki and his family on 7 September 2013. They were NOT going to school to rescue Thomas, that’s for sure!

Fact #5 : Thomas Was Not 7 Years Old When It Happened

Henry Cavill did not mention how old Thomas was when this “Superman is my uncle” incident happened. But in a May 2021 interview with Viva Magazine, he said,

I have two nephews, aged 6 and 4. The older is known for telling wild tales in school and telling lies invented all the time. During one of the classes, the teacher asked pupils to talk about their family members, and what they do professionally. Then, the boy said: “My uncle is Superman.”

So we know that Thomas was 6 years old in 2013, and not 7 years old in 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024, as many viral websites and social media posts are claiming.

We also know that the incident happened sometime between 2011 and 2013. so Thomas was likely between 4 and 6 years old at that time.

Little Thomas would be a strapping 17 year-old teenager in 2024. Even if Uncle Cavill offered to go to his school dressed as Superman, you can be sure he would definitely refuse the offer!

Is Prince Harry Involved In Diddy Sex Trafficking Lawsuit?!

Leave a reply

Is Prince Harry now involved in a sex trafficking lawsuit involving Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Prince Harry Is Involved In Diddy Sex Trafficking Lawsuit!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that Prince Harry is somehow involved in a sex trafficking lawsuit involving Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs!

Dan Wootton : BREAKING: PRINCE HARRY NAMED IN P DIDDY SEX TRAFFICKING LAWSUIT.
But why did MSM ignore the story until I posted the documentation here on X?
Of course there must be due process, but the Duke needs to answer what he knew and whether he was involved..

Concerned Citizen : 🚨🇬🇧🇺🇸 Prince Harry named in P Diddy Sex Trafficking Documents

It’s not going well for the Royal Family right now is it?

Madeleine Case Tweets : Wow!!! 🔥Diddy had cameras in every room at his parties

Are there images of Prince Harry in compromising positions? EVERYONE IS COMPROMISED!!!

Even Mushrooms are mentioned as new drug of choice #PDiddy #PrinceHarry

End Wokeness : H O L Y S H I T

Prince Harry named as one of the famous figures at Diddy’s “sx-trafficking parties”

Is there a Diddy client list?

Show less

Truth : Prince Harry Is Not Involved In Diddy Sex Trafficking Lawsuit!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists and conspiracists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Prince Harry Was Not Named As A Defendant

The civil lawsuit, which was filed by record producer Rodney Jones Jr. (also known as Lil Rod), named many defendants in his lawsuit (PDF). However, Prince Harry was not one of them:

Sean Combs (Mr. Combs)
Justin Dior Combs (J. Combs)
Lucian Charles Grainge (Mr. Grainge)
Ethiopia Habtemariam (Ms. Habtemariam)
Kristina Khorram (Ms. Khorram)
Chalice Recording Studios (CRS)
Love Records (LR)
Motown Records (MR)
Universal Music Group (UMG)
Combs Global Enterprises (CGE)
John and Jane Does 1-10
ABC Corporations 1-10

Fact #2 : Prince Harry Was Mentioned In Passing

Prince Harry was only mentioned once in the entire 73-page lawsuit, and even then, only in passing reference to how Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly gained access to international dignitaries like him.

Affiliation with, and or sponsorship of Mr. Combs sex-trafficking parties garnered legitimacy and access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artist, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry.

In fact, the lawsuit does not even claim that Prince Harry attended any of the “sex-trafficking parties” that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ allegedly hosted. Prince Harry appears to have been “name dropped” as an example of celebrities associated with Combs.

Fact #3 : Prince Harry Last Seen With Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs In 2007

Prince Harry was last seen publicly with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in 2007, when the rapper performed at a concert at the Wembley Stadium in London. To be clear – that concert was not organised by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, nor did he host allegedly host any “sex-trafficking party” after that concert.

It was a charity concert honouring Princess Diana on the 10th anniversary of her death, and featured appearances by Ye (then known as Kanye West), Natasha Bedingfield, Gillian Anderson, David Beckham, Ricky Gervais, and Lily Allen.

Since that concert, Prince Harry was never seen public again with Sean ‘Diddy Combs’, as far as anyone can tell.

Fact #4 : Prince William Was Seen With Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Too!

Interestingly, the lawsuit did not also name-drop Prince William even though he was also seen with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at the same 2007 charity concert!

In fact, it was well-known that the two princes hosted the memorial concert called Concert for Diana, and they helped to bring in many of the world’s best singers to perform, including Elton John, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, and Pharrell Williams.

Like Prince Harry, Prince William was also not seen publicly with P. Diddy since that 2007 charity concert.

Fact #5 : Diddy Ruled Them Out For His Parties

In January 2011, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs actually told Graham Norton on his show that both Prince William and Prince Harry were too mature by then to party with him, so he would not be inviting them to his parties.

Graham Norton : I read that you want to get Prince William and Prince Harry to a Diddy party.

P. Diddy : I don’t think, not anymore. I meant before, you know… Trust me, they are off the list. Before, they were young bucks growing up. They were getting in a lot of trouble themselves. I was like ‘Hey why don’t you come hang out with me?”

Fact #6 : There Was No Media Cover-Up

Claims that there was a media cover-up, or the mainstream media ignored the story, does not appear to be legitimate.

There has been a deluge of media (and celebrity blog) coverage over this story, with scandalous titles screaming that Prince Harry was named in P. Diddy’s sexual assault lawsuit, to fact check articles (like this) pointing out that he was merely name-dropped in that lawsuit.

If there was any hesitancy on the mainstream media’s part to cover story initially, it is likely because they actually read the lawsuit and saw that Prince Harry was merely name-dropped, and was not involved in the lawsuit at all.

Justin Bieber said Jay-Z rapes + murders kids in Satanic rituals?!

Leave a reply

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.

Show less

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.

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:

Is Taylor Swift Performing Satanic Rituals At Eras Tour?!

Leave a reply

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.

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!”

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!

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?!

Leave a reply

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.

Fact #3 : Lethal Weapon 5 Has Not Been Confirmed

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.

Did Amy Schumer Develop VAIDS After Third Booster?!

Leave a reply

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.

Fact #3 : Endometriosis Is Not AIDS

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.

Fact #6 : Amy Schumer Had Endometriosis For Years

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.

Fact #7 : Study Did Not Mention AIDS / VAIDS!

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!

So why would anyone claim that this study showed children developing Vaccine AIDS from the COVID-19 vaccines???

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.
