With the advent of the Wuhan virus in early 2020, the country has been severely disrupted, metaphorically turned upside down. We’ve gone from ubiquitous mask wearing to locking down the economy to the release of untested vaccines to now harsh vaccine mandates. And all though this torturous process, freedoms that were once taken for granted in the U.S. have been steadily chipped away. We’ve even witnessed the 2020 presidential election being stolen. by increasing mail-in voting, extended time for voting, and overriding state election laws by a number of governors and attorneys general. Containing the Wuhan virus was the pretext for this, and it made extensive cheating possible.
Looking back at what has transpired, a question must be asked: Is this whole COVID mess the result of a series of random accidents and bad decision by those in authority? Or is it a subterfuge that has been planned out in advance? The latter point brings us to conspiracy theory territory.
Conspiracy theories are a mixed bag. Many are outright crazy, colorfully so. However, some others actually have substance. Today, what is often labeled a conspiracy theory is nothing more than something the ruling class finds uncomfortable being discussed. Using their wealth and influence, the elite direct government agencies and their media stooges to ridicule and lambaste any debate that puts them in a bad light. That’s the reality we live in.
Consider this. A number of conspiracy theories have been floating around from, say, the 1960s. Each in turn has been debunked many times over by official government sources and the corporate media. Fine. But given what is now known about the clandestine war waged against President Trump by elements in the federal government, even some in his own administration, and the corporate media, should the idea of any conspiracies be dismissed out of hand??
Here’s a recent example to make the point. Remember the “straight-shooting conservative” Bill Barr? He said that after a “thorough” investigation , his Justice Department determined Jeffrey Epstein’s “definitely” committed suicide in his heavily guarded cell at Rikers Island in 2019. The media accepted that as the “official” […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
