Young liberal girls are increasingly and disproportionately depressed
Plus, Russell Brand does Tucker. The lab leak. (What lab leak!?) The 'Censorship Industrial Complex.' And more!

Young liberal girls are the most depressed of all
The rise of the smart phone and the rise of depression happened at the same time. It does not appear to be a coincidence. Author and social psychologist, Jon Haidt, delves into the problem of tanking mental health in our young people, and why it’s showing up in liberal kids more than conservative ones, girls more than boys. Reprinted in The Free Press, too.

Instagram: After years of censorship, the lab leak theory is now mainstream
For almost 3 years, alternative media has been pointing to evidence that the Covid-19 virus originated in the Wuhan lab, during Fauci funded research. This chatter was constantly censored from mainstream social media and for the most part ignored or heckled in the legacy press. Above, DreamRare pulls video showing the hypocrisy. An excellent analysis on the coverup is in The Defender.

Journalists testify before Congress; highlight the danger of a blinded mainstream media
Former NYT writer, Jenny Holland, on the Congressional testimony last week of two seasoned journalists, Shellenberger and Taibbi.
Shellenberger put it beautifully when he said there is now in operation a “censorship-industrial complex” that has devolved into “fight[ing] domestic misinformation, which is just saying we need to fight people who are saying things we disagree with online. That’s all that means. It’s not a slippery slope. It’s an immediate leap into a terrifying mechanism that we only see in totalitarian societies.
Holland follows with
Liberals and progressives need to free themselves from the mind prison created by the massively sophisticated disinformation war that has been waged upon them by their once trusted representatives. Taibbi and Shellenberger’s testimony was an important moment in that war.

Tucker Carlson’s biggest crime is doing good journalism, says The Spectator
Hecklers has avoided much of Jan 6 because it’s rife with political mud-slinging. For the record, we lump CNN and Fox in the same mainstream media pile of poo.
That said, we give credit where it’s due and shout out Tucker for his recent coverage of Jan 6. We know many of you have been schooled to hate this man (who apparently hates Trump “passionately”) but we think The Spectator got it right as they explain, “the Fox host has gone to some lengths to avoid being irresponsible.”
He’s been given thousands of hours of Capitol surveillance video by House Majority Speaker Kevin McCarthy — and he’s using it to show that what happened on January 6, 2021 is not the simple story of a “deadly insurrection” most US politicians and journalists have had us believe.
The picture is never as one sided as the mainstream media wants you to think. Is justice is being served — or just politics?

Speaking of Tucker…
Rumble: So I went on Fox News and this happened…
Russell Brand was in the U.S. for a comedy tour when he happened to stop by Tucker Carlson and Fox News wearing his super hippy yoga garb (the way we love him). He was talking about censorship and Congress’s fat pharma lobby and things we all should care about. Now, guess what the MSM is calling him?

New Yorkers embrace street justice
With the city’s mayor and police asking New Yorkers to unmask, the people are taking the law into their own hands. “We don’t rely on cops to stop muggings and thefts. We rely on ourselves.”

According to CDC documents, Covid shots have never been tested alongside other vaccines; encouraging multiple shots at once is unfounded
Moderation is key! Except when it comes to vaccines apparently. The CDC recommends you get flu, Covid, and monkeypox… all in one visit.
Hecklers recommends multiple doses of common sense.

Republicans are right about E.S.G. (environmental, social, governance factors) but for the wrong reasons
Woke corporations are a marketing gimmick; the real problem is corporate capitalism, says Robert Reich, former secretary of labor. Like always, corporations care about shareholders profits, not the environment. The only way to change their ways is by penalizing them for their ills… something that won’t happen without campaign finance reform.

Doctors around the world say it’s time to stop the shots
Recently “COVID-19” and “Fauci” have been trending on Twitter. And when you click on those hashtags, you don’t get regurgitated government messaging.
Instead, you get declarations like this one from Dr. Eli David, which has been viewed 1.2 million times: “Fauci was wrong about lockdowns, masks, double-masks, Remdesivir, vaccine, boosters, and virus origin.”
