The Viral Hit Piece by the Magazine Proven Untrue by Hospital
The magazine noted recently for such tales like 'The Rape on Campus', now updates their story. Note that they refused to issue a 'retraction' nor a 'correction'. They merely posted the Hospital's comments at the top of their article. Their claim was from the testimony of Dr. Jason McElyea who said the hospital was being overrun by patients overdosing on Ivermetcin, particularly based on Horse Dewormer medication. The problem with the story was that Dr. McElyea had not worked at the hospital in two months, nor ever treated any ivermectin overdoses.Northeastern Hospital System Wrote:All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care. We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community’s support.

From Rolling Stone magazine, another piece of fake news that went viral.Two senior officials have resigned over Biden’s plans to move forward without prior approval
Both Marion Gruber (Director of the FDA's Office of Vaccine Research & Review) and Phil Krause (Deputy Director) resigned and told Politico that they were at odds with Peter Marks, the FDA's top vaccine official, and displeased that the CDC is making decisions that they felt were the perogative of the FDA.Paul Offit (FDA Advisory Committee Member) Wrote:The administration’s booster plan; it wasn’t the FDA’s booster plan. The administration has kind of backed themselves up against the wall a little bit here.
Note that the CDC is now pushing back at the Biden Administration, demanding more time as well.Tensions excalate as Nuclear-Capable Bombers Flew into the Nation's Defense Zone!
Taiwan's Air Force scrambled against nineteen military aircraft from China, including four H-6 Bombers which are capable of carying nuclear weapons. This comes a week after Taiwan's Defense Ministry suggested that China could paralyze Taiwan's defenses through both soft and hard electronic attacks.
Note that this incursion into Taiwan airspace came right after European lawmakers expressed solidarity with Taiwan, China's demand of nations to remove ambassadors from China, and other recent actions.Woman Drops iPhone in Water only for a Whale to bring it back!
The most unexpected story to read is that of Isa Opdahl who was boating in Norway, and dropped her iPhone in the water. Lost it was, until a Beluga whale came up to the surface with the phone in its mouth for the woman to take back.
And the video that went viral is in the article!

UAE to launch probe targeting asteroid between Mars, Jupiter
The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to send a probe to land on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter to collect data on the origins of the universe.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The United Arab Emirates on Tuesday announced plans to send a probe to land on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter to collect data on the origins of the universe, the latest project in the oil-rich federation's ambitious space program.
A successful landing would see the UAE join an elite club of the European Union, Japan and the United States, which have completed the feat on either an asteroid or a comet. The probe would remain behind on the asteroid, transmitting back to Earth information on the composition of the asteroid as long as its batteries remain charged.
The project targets a 2028 launch with a landing in 2033, a five-year journey in which the spacecraft will travel some 3.6 billion kilometers (2.2 billion miles). The spacecraft would need to slingshot first around Venus and then the Earth to gather enough speed to reach an asteroid some 560 million kilometers (350 million miles) away.
It's still under discussion what data the Emirates will collect but the mission will be an even greater challenge that previous ones, given the spacecraft will travel both near the sun and far from it, said Sarah al-Amiri, the chair of the UAE Space Agency and a minister of state for advanced technology.

Hundreds of Student in Loudoun County, Virginia walked out to protest on-campus rapes!
Does this sound familiar? Not long ago, there was news of a Father arrested at a Loudoun County school meeting after being enraged when the school dismissed his statement that his daughter was raped in the bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt. The school infact stated that there was no incident and the boy did not exist, only to find that he was transferred to another school where another rape was performed.
The demonstration took place after a 15-year-old boy was found guilty Monday of a May 28 attack on a teenage girl inside a bathroom at Stone Bridge High School. Does this sound familiar? Weeks before at a Loudoun County school meeting, the father of the victim was arrested as the school claimed the boy never existed! In fact, after speaking out and being arrested, the school board send a letter to have the father labeled domestic terrorists.
It turns out, the school transferred the boy to Broad Run High School where another rape had occurred. It was outside Broad Run where students could be heard chanting Loudoun County protects rapists.” Organizers said the demonstration was to “show solidarity to victims of sexual violence and demand safety in our schools,” and anyone participating were asked to wear white and make protest signs.
I would point out that the DOJ created a snitch line to report on parents within 5 days of receiving a letter from the National School Board Association that referred to the parent's actions aas hate crimes. The NSBA now apologized, but DOJ Merrick Garland has refused to rescind his memo.Mind you, a former President is being blasted as

Instead of stoking anger aimed at school boards and administrators, who are just trying to keep our kids safe,... we should be making it easier for teachers and schools to give our kids the world-class education they deserve, and safely while they are in the classroom.
This statement by Obama just before the fore-mentioned sexual assaults which found that the school board attempted to cover it up. And it's been reported prior to this that books containing adult content were found within the Fairfax High School Library, some images from within one book within the original link and intentionally blurred.
Confirmed by the pentagon, it contradicts the State Department's claim
Sen. Jim Inhofe Wrote:One of the many confusing things about this whole thing is that we really don’t know how many Americans are left in Afghanistan. The administration’s number of U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan keeps changing. We all understand that. It’s very confusing.
This was Senator Inhofe's statement which led him to believe that the administration has been constantly presenting contradictory if not confusing numbers since the August 31 withdrawal. However, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl came forward with more accurate figures.
Secretary Colin Kahl Wrote:In terms of how many American citizens we estimate are currently in Afghanistan, the Department of State is in contact with 196 American citizens who are ready to depart –and arrangements are being made for them to do so, either via air or over ground – and another 243 American citizens have been contacted and are not ready to depart, either because they want to stay in Afghanistan or aren’t ready.
So clearly, the US State Department has been refusing to tell the truth. Biden cannot say that he's not being told yet again. The deposed prime minister was detained when the military seized power in a coup
The military led by General Abdel-Fattah Burhan staged a coup and seized power that was condemned worldwide, only to be followed by pro-democracy demonstrations that included roadblocks, burning tires and other makeshift barricades in major cities such as the capital of Khartoum. Troops had fired on the crowd, killing four according to a doctor on the scene.
General Burhan claimed that he held Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdock and his wife for their own safety. And now released, one may wonder if the so-called 'heavy security' may also be viewed as a form of house arrest according to sources. An official would not confirm if they were free to leave or even make outgoing calls.
The coup comes only a month before General Burhan was to transfer leadership of the Sovereign Council to civilian control.
The indictment by Durham alleged that Former Clinton Attorney, John Sussmann told then FBI General Council James Baker that he was not working for any client when he requested to present data against then-candidate Donald Trump, tying him to Russia, said data now proven false.
Now Durham plans to call Baker to testify. Baker left the FBI in May 2018 after serving as their top lawyer, and was a confidant of former FBI Director James Comey. And Baker had confirmed he was involved in the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Suveillance Act) warrant to surveil then-Trump candidate Carter Page, the warrant relying on the unverified and now discounted Steele Dossier.
This Tuesday, US District Judge Christopher Cooper asked the Government and Sussmann's defense to continue moving forward in their discovery process. During the hearing, government prosecutors said, at this point, that they had provided Sussmann’s attorneys with 6,000 documents – amounting to up to some 80,000 pages.

Sun Releases Significant Solar Flare
The Sun emitted a significant solar flare peaking at 11:35 a.m. EDT on Oct. 28, 2021. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event.
This flare is classified as an X1-class flare.
X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, etc. Flares that are classified X10 or stronger are considered unusually intense.

Several passengers have reportedly been injured after two trains collided near Salisbury, southern England, with authorities declaring the crash a “major incident”.
Wiltshire Police and Network Rail said the collision happened between Salisbury and Andover on Sunday at around 6:45pm at Fisherton Tunnel near Salisbury Station.
“We are currently at the scene of a train crash involving two trains between Andover and Salisbury. We are responding with the fire and ambulance service at the site close to London Road, Salisbury,” Wiltshire Police said in a statement.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service declared the crash a “major incident”. Around 50 firemen from multiple local fire services are in attendance, according to The Guardian.
The trains involved were the Great Western Railway (GWR) 17:08 service between Portsmouth Harbour and Bristol Temple Meads and the South Western Railway (SWR) 17:20 from London Waterloo to Honiton.
Network Rail, which manages most of the rail infrastructure in Great Britain, said the rear carriage of the 17:08 GWR service “derailed after striking an object on its approach to Salisbury station”.
“The derailment knocked out all of the signalling in the area. Subsequently, the 17.20 South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Honiton then collided with the Bristol train,” Network Rail added.
British Transport Police (BTP), ambulance, and the fire service are in attendance. Around a dozen people are believed to be injured.
All passengers have been evacuated from the trains. A BBC reporter claimed that none of those injured was in serious condition, and that one of the trains was on its side.
Canary Islands (AP) — A volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma that has been erupting for six weeks spewed greater quantities of ash from its main mouth Sunday, a day after producing its strongest earthquake to date.
Lava flows descending toward the Atlantic Ocean from a volcanic ridge have covered 970 hectares (2,400 acres) of land since the eruption began on Sept. 19, data from the European Union’s satellite monitoring service, showed. On the way down the slope, the molten rock has destroyed more than 2,000 buildings and forced the evacuation of over 7,000 people.
But authorities in the Canary Islands, of which La Palma is part, have reported no injuries caused by contact with lava or from inhaling the toxic gases that often accompany the volcanic activity.
Experts said that predicting when the eruption will end is difficult because lava, ash and gases emerging to the surface are a reflection of complex geological activity happening deep down the earth and far from the reach of currently available technology.
The Canary Islands, in particular, “are closely connected to thermal anomalies that go all the way to the core of the earth,” said Cornell University geochemist Esteban Gazel, who has been collecting samples from the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
“It’s like a patient. You can monitor how it evolves, but saying exactly when it will die is extremely difficult,” Gazel said. “It’s a process that is connected to so many other dimensions of the inside of the planet.”
Signs monitored by scientists —soil deformation, sulfur dioxide emissions and seismic activity— remained robust in Cumbre Vieja. The Spanish Geographic Institute, or IGN, said that a magnitude 5 quake in the early hours of Saturday was not just felt on La Palma, but also in La Gomera, a neighboring island on the western end of the Canary Islands archipelago.
IGN said the ash column towering above the volcano reached an altitude of 4.5 kilometers (15,000 feet) on Sunday before heavier wind scattered it. Many nearby towns and a telescope base further north that sits on a mountain at 2,400 meters above sea level (7,800 feet) were covered in a thick layer of ash.
I might add some Spanish politician suggested they could bomb the slopes
to detour the lava to open fields to keep people safe. The outrage of the general public would overwhelm him not long after those comments.

CyberScoop Wrote:Nicaragua’s government has, for years, weaponized Facebook to try to discredit student protesters and boost official narratives, new findings show.
Facebook’s takedown of nearly 1,000 accounts, 140 pages, 24 groups and 363 Instagram accounts as part of an alleged troll farm run by the Nicaraguan government and the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) party represents “one of the most cross-government troll operations we’ve disrupted to date, with multiple state entities participating in this activity at once,” the company announced Monday.
The effort spanned multiple government institutions, including the Supreme Court and Nicaraguan Social Security Institute, the company said. It also involved a “complex network of media brands across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Blogspot and Telegram,” along with websites tied to news and political blogs.
The groups, pages, and Instagram accounts were popular: Roughly 585,000 accounts followed one or more of the pages; about 74,5000 accounts joined one or more of the groups, and about 125,000 accounts followed one or more of the Instagram accounts, the company reported. The activity dated back to 2018.
The company’s report claims that “although the operators posed as regular citizens of Nicaragua,” the investigation found that “much” of the activity “was operated from government-linked entities.”
It's weird to see Facebook fighting for some third world nation's civil liberties out of the blue. I wish they did so almost every single day. 
Breitbart Wrote:Rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who is fully vaccinated, has canceled his Halloween concert after testing positive for the Chinese coronavirus.
The 59-year-old musician canceled a concert on Saturday in Miami Beach, Florida, after testing positive for the virus in a breakthrough case. A spokesperson for Bon Jovi confirmed to Asbury Park Press that the rocker is “fully vaccinated and feeling fine.”
Before the start of the concert, Bon Jovi’s brother Matt Bongiovi told would-be audience members of the musician’s diagnosis, adding that he was unable to perform, the report adds.
“There was a lot of disappointment from the fans but understanding that Jon’s health is more important,” said fan Kerry Splitter.
A reporter for WSVN posted a video of Bon Jovi leaving what appeared to be a hotel lobby on Saturday, adding that the rocker had canceled his Miami concert after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The show was part of the Runaway Tours “Halloween Weekend Getaway,” where Bon Jovi was scheduled to perform an “acoustic storyteller performance” at the Loews South Beach venue, reports Asbury Park Press.
Moreover, the rocker is reportedly scheduled to receive an Intrepid Lifetime Achievement Award on November 10 at the Salute to Freedom Gala, which will take place on the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City.
There was no word on whether the concert would be rescheduled.
I guess stuff happens and it'll never asks you for permission to finally take place.Breitbart Wrote:Actor Alec Baldwin told reporters Saturday he is “extremely interested” in limiting the use of firearms on movie sets in the wake of his fatal shooting while producing his latest film Rust.
New Mexico’s Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation when a 42-year-old cinematographer was killed on October 21, 2021, after Baldwin discharged a prop gun.
The cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, was shot in the chest, and 48-year-old director Joe Souza was also shot and wounded.
He said, “I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms on film sets is something I’m extremely interested in.”
Baldwin then asked reporters to remember how many guns have been fired on film sets during the past 75 years and stressed that those guns were fired “mostly without incident.”
However, he added, “We have to realize that when it does go wrong, and it’s this horrible catastrophic thing, some new measures have to take place.” He went on to suggest rubber guns or plastic guns as alternatives to functional guns that normally fire blanks.
Hollywood weapons expert Bryan Carpenter responded of the Hutchins’ death and Souza’s by suggesting Baldwin ignored the number rule of gun safety.
The New York Post quoted Carpenter stressing that the No. 1 rule as, “Loaded or unloaded, a weapon never gets pointed at another human being.”
He stressed that rules of gun safety apply even on a movie set, where “you never let the muzzle of a weapon cover something you don’t intend to destroy.”
Does he really think it's a matter of using rubber guns?What about the making of dozens of violent movies every year?
Really, it's not hard to just catch on camera how a fake villain threatens the victim and then cut it right there before resuming the moment it gets hit but not by a real bullet and without a real weapon pointing at any real person. A dummy should suffice, right?
Just my "one cent".

BLes via Google Translate Wrote:As US President Joe Biden traveled to Rome to attend the G20 summit, an international scandal broke out in El Salvador that is barely covered by mass media.
According to the official account of Nuevas Ideas (New Ideas), president Nayib Bukele's party, two congressmen of the coalition that maintains the absolute majority in the Legislative Assembly (Congress) were recorded negotiating with a representative of the United States Embassy to break with Bukele in exchange for money.
This is the businessman Roy García, who introduces himself as a lobbyist for the US Embassy, and offers perks to the congressmen José Ilofio García and Gerardo Balmore Aguilar, in exchange for forming an anti-Bukele bloc with between 15 and 20 congressmen and take away the absolute majority from Nuevas Ideas.
...
The US Embassy did not deny anything but detached from Roy García, who, they say, does not represent the US Department of State in political matters.
So was it a local move? Or is the Biden administration via its embassy deeply involved in this scandal? Or is Bukele trying to make us think he's a victim to distract us from something far more serious than what Roy García was trying to pull off there?ElAmerican Wrote:The embassy of Joe Biden’s government denied this Sunday “categorically” the accusations that its diplomatic representation in El Salvador allegedly supported a “conspiracy” against the ruling party Nuevas Ideas (NI).
“The U.S. embassy categorically denies the accusations made in a recording recently published on the Twitter account of Nuevas Ideas,” a spokesman said.
...
He added that “the people speaking in the audio are not representatives of the U.S. Embassy” and that it “does not support one political party over another.”
...
“Our goal in El Salvador remains the same as it has for years: to create opportunities and help improve security so that Salvadorans are not forced to leave their country,” he concluded.
Well, the Biden Administration has denied it categorically and claimed that they only cooperate with El Salvador whenever there's a chance to do so. Even if they were speaking the truth here, it's just another low blow for the current administration following Sleepy Joe's appearance demonstrating how much attention he's paying to the latest summits.Is Biden too old for the job?
Or are they about to tell the world that Kamala Harris should get promoted any time soon?
AP News Wrote:The failed assassination attempt against Iraq’s prime minister at his residence on Sunday has ratcheted up tensions following last month’s parliamentary elections, in which the Iran-backed militias were the biggest losers.
Helicopters circled in the Baghdad skies throughout the day, while troops and patrols deployed around Baghdad and near the capital’s fortified Green Zone, where the overnight attack occurred.
Supporters of the Iran-backed militias held their ground in a protest camp outside the Green Zone to demand a vote recount. Leaders of the Iran-backed factions converged for the second day on a funeral tent to mourn a protester killed Friday in clashes with security. Many of the faction leaders blame the prime minister for the violence.
Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi suffered a light cut and appeared in a televised speech soon after the attack by armed drones on his residence. He appeared calm and composed, seated behind a desk in a white shirt and what appeared to be a bandage around his left wrist.
Seven of his security guards were wounded in the attack by at least two armed drones, according to two Iraqi officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give official statements.

BBC Wrote:A family in Peru who thought they had bought a dog soon realised they had an Andean fox on their hands after it attacked other animals in their area.
The Sotelos bought the puppy for $13 (£9.50) from a small shop in the capital, Lima, believing it was a purebred husky.
But after a while, they received complaints from neighbours about their so-called dog named Run Run.
The canine impostor has since been caught by wildlife officials.
It became clear there was a case of mistaken identity when Run Run began to chase guinea pigs, chickens and ducks to kill or eat them, provoking the anger of neighbours.
"About a month ago, a woman from around here said that it ate three of her guinea pigs. And then two or three days ago, a local grandmother came and said that it killed guinea pigs," owner Maribel Sotelo told Reuters news agency.
Run Run turned out to be an Andean fox, which has thin legs, a bushy tail, a pointed head and prominent ears, but it is more closely related to wolves and jackals than foxes.
The National Forest and Wildlife Service in Peru says wild animals are often bought by traffickers from Amazonian areas and are illegally sold in Lima.
I guess he was a heinous criminal and had to be arrested no matter what, right?BBC Wrote:Britney Spears has described the termination of a legal arrangement that controlled many aspects of her life for 13 years as "the best day ever".
"I think I'm gonna cry," she told her 35 million Instagram followers.
A judge in Los Angeles on Friday ended the conservatorship set up by the 39-year-old singer's father in 2008 with immediate effect.
Fans had gathered outside the LA court to support Spears, who had described the guardianship as abusive.
Her father Jamie earlier said it was "necessary", but agreed it was time for her "to re-take control of her life".
"Her life was in shambles and she was in physical, emotional, mental and financial distress," lawyers representing Jamie Spears said in earlier court filings.
The conservatorship had power over her finances and career decisions plus major personal matters, such as her visits with her teenage sons and whether she can get remarried.
...
As part of the ruling, Judge Penny said an accountant who served as a temporary conservator should retain some powers to settle ongoing financial issues.
13 years is quite a long time for being treated as a kid while still being an adult.
Anyway, no state should be able to tell you whether or not you can marry or remarry at any given time.

Yahoo News Wrote:The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating “questionable vials” labeled "smallpox" and found in a freezer last night at a Merck facility outside Philadelphia, according to an alert sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership on Tuesday night.
There were reportedly a total of 15 questionable vials, according to the unclassified "For Official Use Only" alert, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News. Five of the vials were labeled as “smallpox” and 10 were labeled as “vaccinia." The vials were secured immediately.
The discovery of the vials prompted a lockdown of the facility, which has since been lifted. The FBI and CDC launched investigations, which remain ongoing.
“There is no indication that anyone has been exposed to the small number of frozen vials. The frozen vials labeled ‘Smallpox’ were incidentally discovered by a laboratory worker while cleaning out a freezer in a facility that conducts vaccine research in Pennsylvania,” a CDC spokesperson told Yahoo News.
...
The CDC will arrive on site tomorrow to take custody of the vials and transport them to another facility for testing, the alert notes. No personnel were reportedly exposed to the material.
