Narrative Keepers in a Panic!
by Chris Martenson

They pulled out all the stops as they tried, unsuccessfully, to install a bogus narrative that something called “commotio cordis” was the reason Damar collapsed during a live televised national NFL game.

2022 Year In Review
by Chris Martenson

2022 was a year of incredible events and developments. Too many to pick from, but let’s give it go.
