The Real Anthony Fauci, the Movie
Before the recent obsession with all things pumpkin spice in autumn, this has always been the season to take in mainstream entertainment like new plays, books, art openings, fall fashion, and film. Considering the cancel culture environment, there has been a spate of new work issued – miraculously it seems – with big titles like “The Real Anthony Fauci, the Movie” by RFK, Jr., (brief review below), “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM” by The Daily Wire featuring Candace Owens, and “My Son Hunter” by Robert Davi. Political candidates Kari Lake, Darius Mayfield, Andy Biggs and others have been producing short films, not just books this campaign season too.
I watched Part I of The Real Anthony Fauci, the Movie by Jeff Hays based on the book by RFK, Jr. of the same name. The book has sold over a million copies yet it did not make The New York Times bestseller list and no mainstream media has reviewed it.
If you haven’t read the book (click the image below), this film is a must watch. And maybe more importantly, a must share with family and friends.
The Real Anthony Fauci gets a thumbs up for its straightforward reportage. The film maker, Jeff Hays, does not go in for any obvious tricks other documentarians lean on.
(I might be referring to how award-winning documentarian, Ken Burns, ruined his reputation built on past successes like The Civil War with his latest work, a three-part PBS series, “The U.S. and the Holocaust.” By all accounts, it is a blame the United States opus, hanging America for its involvement with Germany before WWII as it absurdly places J6 in the same bin. Donald Trump is fingered as the greatest threat to democracy since the Civil War. Guardian write-up here.)
To my eyes and ears there is little propaganda in this film except for two things: 1) RFK claims on camera that Fauci was seen by the public as a “soothing figure” (with a gravelly voice only a mother could love no less) in the early days of the pandemic compared to Donald Trump, whom he says is “narcissistic, anti-science, and bombastic”; and, 2) Toward the end, he makes an unsubstantiated claim that Donald Trump took a million dollars from Pfizer to pay for an inauguration party in 2017 – three years before Wuhan. I don’t cotton to such casual slurs and regularly fight against on social media. I hung in nevertheless and will try to track down if his inauguration party claim is true.
In the first 50 minutes or so, you’ll see a slew of doctors and researchers such as Drs. Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Pierre Kory, Michael Yeadon tell us how we got the lockdowns, the masks, the mandates, the vaccines, along with the censorship and de-platforming. They talk about the origins of the virus too. I assume you are familiar with this cast of characters. All were instantly shamed and maligned by the media and the Fauci smear machine for just asking common sense questions. Most have been de-platformed.
You’ll also hear from Naomi Wolf. Her book, The Bodies of Others, is seminal. It is indispensable reading. Again, I may be preaching to the choir but try to share her book with family and friends. (Admittedly, impossible for me.)
Even if you’ve sought out information on your own, you may still have questions. I picked up a few things I did not know:
- The C.I.A. ran a ‘table top simulation’ of the pandemic with the WEF a few months before the first case was reported from China. Participants said a pandemic would require using the Marshall Plan to contain. It was complete with fake fake news accounts. It was chilling.
- People in various alphabet agencies – the CDC etc. – were aware of the Covid-19 virus as early as September, 2020.
- Fauci was anti-mask until China’s George Gao said a few months in that ‘the world has to wear masks.’ He changed his tune; so did the WHO.
- The so-called Five Eyes countries were heavily involved, from the beginning, in getting vaccines to market and then covering up Wuhan Lab involvement, according to RFK.
- Germany, a Five Eye country, was poised at one point — working with the C.I.A. — to spy on the ‘vaccine-hesitant’ population. RFK claims the C.I.A. outsources spying on U.S. citizens using the Five Eyes.
Halfway in, RFK graphically illustrates a string of what we’re now calling ‘died suddenly’ cases.
The second half of the film is perhaps even more enlightening than the first since it deals almost exclusively with how Dr. Fauci became a ‘star’ as a result of the AIDS disease. From 1985 on, Fauci ran the NIAD with an iron fist using the same tactics we’ve seen him apply to the Covid pandemic. One might say that AIDS – later repackaged as HIV which is a whole story in itself that I have not been aware of – was a dry run for the scandemic.
Celia Farber, author of “Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS” refers to Dr. Fauci in her book and on camera for this film as having, “practiced social engineering during the AIDS crisis.”
Thanks to The Dole Act passed in the 1980s and under Fauci, the NIH, CDC, and NIAD could partner with pharmaceutical companies to “personally file for patents, collect royalties, and distribute monies as he saw fit.”
One part of the film details a little-known or now forgotten Fauci-Pharma partnership to immunize foster children with experimental vaccines in New York City and New York State. What happened to these children will make you weep.
Eager to see if RFK takes more gratuitous pot shots at Donald Trump in Part II. It is available now and it is free to watch for a limited time. Click the image above, the link in text, or find it here:

Now Playing in Arizona: The Kari and Tulsi Show
First, color me stunned by the incredible rise of former local Arizona news anchor, Republican Kari Lake as she campaigns for governor of Arizona. She has presidential material written all over her. Her America First message, impeccable yet no-nonsense style, and infectious energy seems to be taking Arizona by storm. Her notoriety is making her a target from the politics-of-destruction leftist Democrats (I choke on that word now) and their media.
‘Sure I’ll agree to an interview, as long as it’s on CNN+…’
Taking on Dana Bash at CNN who is accusing her of being an election denier…watch and learn!
Watch Kari flip the script on fake news reporters hectoring her about denying election results…
Admittedly, I am observing Lake through the lens of my own echo chamber, but other than Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, I have not seen many Republicans – in or out of office – push back against so-called journalists as effectively as Kari. Imagine what she knows about the inner workings of today’s corporate media.
We’re cheering for Lake in her bid for governor of Arizona for good reason. She gives us hope. She is trying to beat back election fraud (yes, all but proven in AZ and elsewhere) allowed by Democrats and RINOs. She would declare a state of emergency due to the invasion at the border and has clearly articulated her intention to fight off efforts from various factions who are pushing everything from child vaccine mandates to hormone blockers and trans surgeries for teens. Bogus CRT education would hopefully end under Kari Lake.
Trump recently headlined two rallies in Arizona for Lake and fellow Republicans on the slate. Blake Masters is running against Democrat Mark Kelly in a close Senate race; Mark Finchem is up for Secretary of State against Adrian Fontes the Democrat who would replace incumbent Secretary of State Katie Hobbes; and, Abe Hamadeh is ahead in his race for Arizona Attorney General. He would replace Republican incumbent Mark Brnovich, who astonishingly is working to stop all election integrity efforts mounted in AZ since the 2020 election. It looks like the attention paid to Lake is having a spillover effect. As of this writing, Lake is up 11 points in the polls.
Fox News – article here – comes closest to asking the most important question in this race: Why hasn’t Katie Hobbs recused herself from overseeing this election since she is Secretary of State and running for governor at the same time?
What the heck happened to the practice of ‘recusal’ due to conflict of interest?
To my knowledge, no one in either party is demanding Hobbs recuse herself for her role as Secretary of State in charge of overseeing elections.
Hobbes is the living embodiment of Josef Stalin who famously said:
On to Tulsi…
Color me gob smacked by Tulsi Gabbard’s announcement last week that she was leaving the Democrat party citing differences between her and the “war mongering elitist cabal…who don’t care about democracy.”
I was and have been highly skeptical of the Tulsi Show having seen how her brand of attractiveness and articulateness caused many Republicans (particularly men LOL) to suspend critical judgment of her record as a liberal Democrat who served in Congress and ran for president in 2020.
She quickly followed her announcement with her endorsement of Kari Lake and subsequently shared the stage with her at a campaign event. Gob smacked times two or is it three?
Gabbard took to Truth Social saying,
“Kari Lake isn’t afraid to call out the warmongering elitist cabal of permanent Washington and the Military Industrial Complex, and their propagandists in the mainstream media.”
I said I would observe Tulsi after the first announcement – and she gave us more to chew on. We have two tangible actions to judge her by that go beyond whatever policies she articulated in the past. Republicans are either gaga over her or see her as an opportunist. I still don’t know. Trump reportedly said he would consider including Gabbard in his cabinet.
Video of her announcement and her appearance with Lake last week.
Ye and Candace Broke the Internet over a T-shirt!…and then Ye broke it again!!
Candace Owens and Kanye Ye West put on a pretty good show last week when they unveiled a White Lives Matter line of clothing under Ye’s Yeezy label during Paris Fashion Week. I was totally on board with how the event came off. I happened to catch Candace Owens’ podcast which aired the next day. She is so on point these days. I hung on her every word.
Owens is outraged by the outrage that with all the problems in the black community, and she ticks off a string of damning facts, that the internet blew up over her and Ye wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt.
The media chose not to cover the stats the duo presented about the high number black baby abortions (more black babies are aborted in New York City than are born, 117,626 black babies were killed in 2018, for instance), black education (3 out of 4 black men in grade school don’t meet writing standards; 80% of black boys don’t meet math standards), or black crime (40% of homicides are committed by blacks), etcetera.
Ye wore a sonogram image of a fetus around his neck; the kids in the fashion show sang religious songs. One of the money quotes from Ye’s speech before the show has to be: “I perform for an audience of one, God.”
Here’s how the flap has gone down so far…
October 3, Paris, France: White Lives Matter T-shirt Breaks the Internet
October 4, Paris, France: Candace Owens discussing the ‘tremor’ the White Lives Matter T-shirt caused when she and Ye wore it in Paris. Owens passionately shares the real facts about black America, calling out the BLM for using George Floyd’s death to sell poor blacks on voting for Democrats. Ye declared, “BLM is a scam. It’s over. Your welcome” after the White Lives Matter show. For Owens, the greatest irony is that no one considers the truth about the black community to be an outrage – they save their outrage for “me and Kanye wearing a white lives matter t-shirt.” “Kanye and Candace are the real problem in America,” she says.
October 6-7, Los Angeles, CA: Days after the fashion show, Tucker Carlson sits down with Ye to talk White Lives Matter in a two-part interview.
Tucker asks about him about the meaning of the sonogram picture he’s wearing around his neck.
“I wear it because I care that there are more black babies in New York City being killed than there are bing born.”
Tuckers says, “I’m beginning to see why they don’t like you.”
He told Tucker his troubles with the media began years ago:
“It started when Trump was running for office and I liked him and every single person told me if I said I liked Trump that my career would be over, that my life would be over. They basically said if I wore the MAGA hat, I’d be killed.”
The same thing happened after wearing the white lives matter t-shirt says Ye.
Interspersed with wild claims that he is ‘one of the five best writers of all time,’ Ye spits out simple truths like, “The majority of the media have a godless agenda.”
Tucker says, “I’m beginning to see why people don’t like you.”
At one point in the conversation, Ye criticizes Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and former White House advisor:
“After talking to them, and really sitting with Jared and sitting with Josh [Kushner’s brother]… I was like, ‘Wow, these guys have really been holding [former US president Donald] Trump back and being very much a handler,”
Tucker interjects that Kanye seems to make moving, impassioned pleas that go nowhere. It’s clear a lot of people don’t want him to get his message out, he adds.
But What Did Ye Say that Got Him Banned from Instagram?
October 7-8 – The backlash toward Ye and Candace for wearing White Lives Matter t-shirts was swift. The fashion community was apoplectic on social media claiming, for example, West is “legitimizing [white] extremism.” Boycotts over the t-shirts began to gather steam but the final blows came later.
Mark Zuckerberg removes Ye’s Instagram account when Ye calls out Sean Combs in an exchange that seems to indicate Ye is anti-Semitic. Mind you, this is the first time Ye took to Instagram since 2020 after the election.
West and Combs exchanged barbs. This is the message that triggered his Instagram ban:
“Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” West captioned the Instagram post “Jesus is Jew.”
Everyone in the fashion and entertainment industries began to call for corporations to cut ties with Ye. Contracts are cancelled. Ex-wife Kim Kardashian distances herself. Vogue editors issue formal statements of disavowal.
Kanye calls Gigi Hadid a zombie and a Karen and posts an incriminating anti-Israel tweet by Hadid that the New York Post published. She is a runway model who makes $10K/hr. walking for fashion designers. Her father is a Jordanian billionaire real estate developer. She and her equally highly paid and high profile model sister, Bella, are pro-Palestinian or at least they were. The post has since been taken down.
Elon Musk welcomed Kanye back to Twitter after Mark Zuckerberg banned him from Facebook and Instagram where these spats took place.
Meanwhile, Ye announced he is buying Parler which is headed by Candace Owens’ husband.
October 9 – Ye says he’ll go Death Con 3 on the Jewish people
October 19 – Piers Morgan interview is more explosive than the Tucker interview
October 22 – Ye announces he wants to build ‘tiny planned cities called Yecosystems.’ The Guardian covered it as well as Rolling Stone.
October 25-27 – When Cancel Culture Comes for Ye
A few weeks into the controversy, Kanye’s contracts with Balenciaga, Adidas, Vogue, The Gap, and Foot Locker have been cancelled. Variety reported that CAA dropped him as a client and confirms that a completed documentary on his life will not be released. This particular cancellation runs counter to free speech in my opinion. I’d like to see it.
The Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone magazine ran articles predicting Ye’s self-sabotage will ruin him predicting he won’t recover from the losses.
Owens stood up to the exits with this post on October 25th:
Jews everywhere are speaking out. I have never seen my Jewish friends on social media as angry about anything as they are now.
Ye spoke truth about white lives mattering. Call it peak Ye. White lives do matter and because of BLM’s influence in the media and with corporate America, no one is allowed that obvious rebuttal. Worse, we are slammed for stating the obvious: All Lives Matter. Ye loves white people and hates Jews? Or so it seems. That’s an impossible needle to thread in today’s culture.
Give West credit for calling out BLM, the corporate wokies, and the sheer hypocrisy of celeb culture.
Back in the day and it’s been nearly twenty years of days, no one called out BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) as being anti-Semitic. Founded by a ‘Palestinian,’ BDS has a clearly articulated extremist mission to destroy Israel. No one called out elite schools like Harvard for being anti-Semitic for divesting investments in Israel. BDS further required institutions divest from corporations with investments in Israel.
No one paid attention to students on campuses like Columbia, Brown, UC Berkeley, Hampshire College et al who were openly discriminating against Jewish students across a range of actions from verbal insults to staging anti-Israel protests that demonized Jews. A report issued by the ADL on Anti-Israel Activism attests to these facts.
Anti-Semitic demonstrators hung banners over the 405 in L.A. this week featuring a Nazi symbol and Nazi salute. One L.A. local news station reported that flyers were being circulated accusing Trump’s campaign of being ‘run by Jews.’ Who is responsible for these acts? Link to this news segment at end of this article.
But what I want to know is this: Does canceling Ye for anti-Semitism actually kill two birds with one stone? What happens to his White Lives Matter push from here?
