Just received the latest edition of "VERDICT", the February 2024 edition of the newsletter from JUDICIAL WATCH. Guess what one of the main articles is? "Corruption Chronicles--Soros-Tied Facebook Censorship Board Considers Suppressing Anti-Immigration Speech". Soros has several people that sit as "judges" on the Facebook Meta Censorship Board. Almost everyone sitting on Facebook's censorship board is NOT AN AMERICAN!!!!! One is the former principal at Oxford University & British newspaper editor. One is a human rights attorney & program manager at Soros' Open Society Initiative for West Africa. Another is Julie Owono, executive director of a Paris-based nonprofit that advocates for "privacy and freedom of expression" (Yeah, right!). Another is Nighat Dad (or as I call him, Nightmare Batshit), a Pakistani attorney, founder of Digital Rights Foundation. Another is Tawakkol Karman--not American--who sits on the advisory board of "Transparency International". Another is Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Denmark's former prime minister & currently on the board of the European Council on Foreign Relations (remember the CFR???) and trustee at the International Crisis Group. Catalina Botero-Marino is the dean of a Colombian law school (not Columbia Law School in NYC) called Universidad de Los Andes, which received over $1.3 Million from Soros' funded Open Society Foundation (OSF). Kenji Yoshima, a Japanese law professor at NYU law school, who serves on the BOD of the Brennan Center for Justice (leftist law group). Suzanne Nossel, an Obama Administration official, is on the advisory board of the left-wing think tank "Foreign Policy for America". And, an Egyptian academic named Khaled Mansour, director of the nonprofit Crisis Action, that has received over $2.5 MILLION from OSF since 2017. All of these NGOs have received Millions of Dollars from Soros' Open Society Foundation in order to undermine the United States from within and without with their censorship and disinformation programs run and aided by the CIA and ex-Nazi George Soros.

People change, Shellenberger has. From being Anti to PRO Nuclear Power, From wearing a Face diaper, to Identifying the first 3 people to have CCP virus, worked at the Wu Han Lab. Matt Taibbi, Racket News "Censorship Industrial Complex.”, Twitter Files, Escape the WOKE Matrix, San Francisicko, How Progressives ruin Cities. Seems a large catalog of Opposition to democrat progressives and globalism. Our USA Republic is under MULTIPLE threats, the open Border is #1. USA needs all the help it can get in 2024. I voted Trump 2016, .2020 and Pray I can in 2024.

I'd like to believe you're correct in this. It's a shame all the lies and deception have caused us to look askance at everyone. I do think that if he's genuinely changed, he needs to denounce his former positions and opinions completely.

Thanks for your investigative work. I wasn’t aware of this part of the Schellenberger story. But let’s not be hasty in “throwing out the baby with the bath water.” He’s taken some positions on the fake climate change narrative and energy that are worth crediting him for. Have you spoken to Shellenberger? I’d love to hear his explanation of your findings. Many good people operating in panic-mode spoke foolishly at the beginning of the COVID scare. Has Shellenberger been red-pilled, perhaps?

True.....but to say such outlandish and decisive things on March 16, 2020....they day we were all told to go home and hide under the bed with our masks on.......even us regular people knew that was over-kill. Even some of my liberal friends and work mates thought so.....then guys like Shellenberger indoctrinated them and cast them aside for not following orders.

Do not forget who jumped to all these very damaging conclusions..............based on nothing.

We need more CIA double agents like Michael D. Shellenberger who are arguing broadly and persuasively (with statistics) against the false narratives of: 1) racially biased policing, 2) climate alarmism, 3) violence against transgender people, 4) the harms of nuclear power.

We need more CIA agents from Mennonite parents (like MDS) who have provided primary information broadly via Congressional testimony (and other published work) revealing the multi-pronged, federally-funded network of NGOs and private companies which operate to censor voices which run contrary to the Security State narrative.

We need more like M.D. Shellenberger who are providing supporting research for the Missouri vs. Biden 1A case which is working its way to the US Supreme Court.

We need more CIA agents like Shellenberger, Michael D., who are willing to write best selling books about the hoax that is Climate Change (Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, 2020) and then his follow-up book, (San Fransicko, 2021) about how Progressives (Democrats) are destroying US cities with their homeless and drug policies.

We need more CIA double agents who are converting former radical progressives (like Shellenberger, MD) by awakening them to the problems of a hugely funded, unaccountable, intelligence community, which is preying on US citizens while using the CIA tools developed to destabilize foreign regimes.

If publicly falling for the early 2020 Covid fear porn meant you are a CIA agent, then over half the country works for Langley. If everyone who erroneously pushed for lockdowns was a spook, then Trump and De Santis are both guilty.

Is it possible that MSD is a spy? The last 4 years have taught me anything is possible. But if he is a spy, he’s doing a terrible job of supporting the CIA sponsored Truman Show.

We revolutionaries haven’t even overthrown the elites yet. Don’t you think it’s a little early to pull out the guillotine?

"Don’t you think it’s a little early to pull out the guillotine?"

One of the most challenging but eternal problems with the citizenry, and with humanity in general, is the urge to inflexible judgment. That's how people, every one of us imperfect and limited, can get to killing each other over disagreements about "the truth". Once again this conceit is reaching a frenzied peak.

So for this case, I agree, it's premature. I see plenty of evidence of his holding conflicting beliefs across a span of time, but don't yet see them occurring simultaneously, willfully, and/or malevolently. What looks consistent his getting very excited about things, his aversion to "sunlight", and his urge to take charge and "do something". None of which is mortal sin, even when combined.

On a side note, if we are applying criteria fairly, and are distrustful of all Democrats (as Emerald implied yesterday) and especially those who vacillate, then Donald J. Trump should be a real concern:

“Donald Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987; since that time, he has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party.[4]” - Wikipedia (I know, they suck, but this is pretty easily checked.)

Agreed. However, Trump was elected not as a sophisticated policymaker, but as the only person brave/foolish enough to stick his neck out and strike at the monster. The monster that apparently remains invisible to the protected classes. For this reason, and as you must know, all his character flaws, mistakes, crimes, lies, whatever -- certainly including his flip-flopping -- have become largely irrelevant to his supporters. That he's now paying a price clinches it.

Agreed. But my point isn’t about if or why Trump appeals to his base. My point is that Emerald is a vocal and visible rep of his base, and she is maligning Shellenberger using criteria that would be equally damning to Trump. I find that hypocritical.

FWIW, I enjoy Emerald’s writing, believe she deserves more credit for sounding the early alarm on a lot of the efforts by the entrenched Red AND Blue powers to destroy our country. She has been superbly prescient. I just don’t agree with her MDS take, and feel her research conclusions on same are not credible.

I would also take Trump over Biden any day of the week.

And perhaps most importantly, with so many other low hanging scum bags out there (Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, Graham, Schiff, Romney, Frum, Kagan, Nuland, Plaskett, Goldman, Slavitt, ad infinitum) why attack a man who is preaching our Gospel?

I'm grateful to any journalist who fairly digs out *potential* dirty laundry of "my side", whether it turns out to be relevant or not. That's why I read rightist columns for this stuff, knowing that *my* job (as citizen) is then sorting wheat from chaff, because it sure won't be called out by leftists. Non-partisan discipline, if it ever existed, is widely missing today.

"she is maligning Shellenberger using criteria that would be equally damning to Trump."

True, but Shellenberger, as I attempted to point out, has a different public role: He is held to a higher standard of consistency and rationality, specifically because his (public) "reason-for-being" is in rooting out "truth". If Shellenberger were instead a politician, the standard would essentially be on a different dimension -- as a warrior, not a sage.

You do understand that Emerald’s context here is not about run-of-the-mill “truth telling,” right? The Talented Mr. Ripley is a drama about a gay murderer masquerading as somebody else. Emerald is implying rather overtly with her reference to “father” in the “CIA” that Shellenberger is a CIA plant. A man masquerading as something he isn’t.

Are you saying that if the Republican candidate for POTUS (Trump) were a CIA plant that that would be less of a concern for you than if a lesser known independent journalist (MDS) were a plant for the CIA? Because I think it’s pretty clear which one could potentially do the most damage, and it ain’t Shellenberger.

Which takes us back to appropriate standards of scrutiny and hypocrisy.

For them, controlling the narrative is clearly absolutely imperative. At every stumbling block, they pivot, never letting go of the ball, and resume course for the end zone, total control of the world (plus 5%).

Thank you Emerald Robinson for exposing the Shellenberger deception. Now please focus your investigative reporting skills and get to the truth on the persistent rumors that Barack Hussein Obama is a "closet-homosexual".

I posit the "Biggest Liars in the World" are Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama. This is because the two Obamas have hidden from their public persona the fact that BHO is a closet homosexual. Ponder that lie and deception for a moment! If the Obamas will lie and deceive the entire globe about BHO's homosexuality, what other lies and deceptions did those two manifest during BHO's first two terms as POTUS #44 and Obama's de facto third term with Joe Biden #46 as the cut-out/straw-man.

And now that it is obvious Michelle Obama will be the Democratic Party nominee for POTUS after their convention in Chicago in August; what new lies and deceptions will those two Marxists unleash on We the People if Michelle becomes POTUS #47?

particularly since BO said it would be ideal if he would whisper in the ear of the next president and continue to operate another term. He certainly has had that puppet in Biden. MO would likely be equally swayed.

Besides, Joan Rivers, shortly before she died on the operating table for throat surgery, mentioned that everyone knew BO was homosexual (Andrew Breitbart also noted a lack of girlfriends or pictures of any mentioning their dating him, and BO's proximity to a known homesexually oriented church). Joan also mentioned MO being trans.

Funny how people suddenly die on the operating table after saying stuff like this. But I digress.

Fritz, I don’t disagree with you, but I think your assessment that by March 2020, “even regular people knew that (lockdowns etc.) were over-kill” is overly hopeful. Many were still in the throes of mass hysteria. Emerald’s article has made me very skeptical of Schellenberger, but fairness requires that he is given the opportunity to explain his inconsistencies. We don’t want to cannibalize a potential ally on other important issues unnecessarily, if he has indeed been red-pilled on the Plandemic.

This is a new one for me. How does his organization conducting itself in secret promote journalism?

Secrecy and journalism are direct opposites.
