Nolte: Twitter Community Notes Expose PolitiFact’s Lies Protecting Weingarten
JOHN NOLTE
4 May 2023
The far-left PolitiFact, a disgraced site that fabricates fact checks to protect Democrats, was exposed as the liar it is and will always be by a Twitter “Community Note.”
As we all know, the shrill and anti-child Randi Weingarten, this hideous woman who leads the American Federation of Teachers, championed every anti-science coronavirus protocol out there, from masking small children to closing schools.
Good heavens, as late as February 2022, this sadist Weingarten was calling for little kids to be masked, and by then, we all knew how these useless masks impaired childhood development. Even after the mask mandate was lifted for adults—who face more risk from the China Flu than kids—Weingarten laughably argued that lifting the mask mandate for adults was appropriate, but that it was also appropriate to keep masking those kids.
Worse than masking for children were the school closings she repeatedly championed. Straight through to 2022(!), Weingarten screamed bloody murder when schools attempted to reopen.
Here’s a sample…
The left-wing Guardian in July 2020: ‘Reckless, callous, cruel’: teachers’ chief denounces Trump plan to reopen schools
The left-wing New York Times in January of 2022—2022!— “As More Teachers’ Unions Push for Remote Schooling, Parents Worry. So Do Democrats.”
U.S. News: “Teachers Union Considers Strikes Over School Reopenings”
Here’s an incredible compilation of Weingarten pushing to keep schools closed:
Note the dates in that video… as late 2021!
Now, of course, because she knows corporate media outlets like PolitiFact will lie and cover for her, Weingarten is doing what His Fraudulency Joe Biden is doing—trying to gaslight the public into believing she was always a champion for opening schools.
To the surprise of no one who knows how these shameless propagandists operate, PolitiFact ran to Weingarten’s rescue this week with a gazillion words of spin, dishonesty, lies of omission, and water-carrying (I don’t link to fake news). But thanks to Twitter’s Community Notes, PolitiFact is not getting away with it this time.
Nope, PolitiFact’s tweet of its shameless Weingarten spin has now been fact-checked with real facts:
“Politifact is misrepresenting Weingarten’s positions,” the Community Note accurately explains. “She called attempts to reopen schools in the fall of 2020 ‘Reckless, callous, cruel.'”
The only thing I would add to that note is: “Politifact is [DELIBERATELY] misrepresenting Weingarten’s positions.”
In the replies, Twitter owner Elon Musk used emojis to say PolitiFact’s pants are on fire.
And I really love this…
As an “official” fact checker, PolitiFact could get everyone on Facebook banned who dares to tell the truth about how hard Weingarten worked to keep schools closed. Of course, the fascists at NewsGuard could do the same with their fascist rating system.
Despite all the proof of Weingarten’s monstrous lobbying to keep schools closed—and you’ll see more proof below—that’s how the Nazis at PolitiFact and NewsGuard operate. They turn a lie into a “fact” and then blacklist anyone who tells the truth.
All PolitiFact does is lie.
Nothing else.
PolitiFact only lies.

Confirmed: New Twitter Files Drop Reveals Fauci Lied Under Oath – Took Over White House COVID Response Twitter Account
By Jim Hoft
Apr. 20, 2023 7:10 pm
The day before Thanksgiving, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, deposed Anthony Fauci (head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [NIAID]) at the National Institutes for Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May that the Missouri and Louisiana Attorneys General filed a lawsuit (Missouri v. Biden) against the Biden Administration, including Joe Biden himself, Anthony Fauci, the Department of Homeland Security and nearly a dozen federal agencies and Secretaries.
The suit alleges a massive coordinated effort by the Deep State, the permanent administrative state, to work with Big Tech to censor and manipulate Americans – from average citizens to news outlets – on issues including the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell, 2020 Election Integrity, COVID-19 origin and extent skepticism, COVID-19 vaccine skepticism, among other issues.
As Gateway Pundit has previously written, the Attorneys General, along with Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and several other individuals sued the Biden Administration – including Anthony Fauci – for censoring speech surrounding COVID-19, among a large number of other topics.
Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and attorney John Burns were present at the deposition and witnessed the octogenarian squirm, stall, and lie for seven hours.
While the deposition uncovered no smoking guns, the sheer volume of things Fauci “couldn’t recall” or “couldn’t remember,” along with his obvious attempts at providing misleading and deceptive responses, collectively damned his testimony.
No reasonable observer could find his testimony to be credible. Simply put: he lied even when the truth would have made a better story.
Here are some observations and highlights from the Fauci deposition that we reported on earlier:
** Fauci claimed that he had no knowledge that his communications team did not coordinate with social media companies to stop “misinformation and disinformation” until he was forced to admit that he actually did know of certain instances of coordination.
** Fauci continued to push the now-debunked assertion that COVID-19 was a naturally occurring virus.
** Fauci said disinformation and misinformation (information he disagrees with) puts lives at risk.
** Fauci refused to define “gain of function” research saying it was too broad of a term to define.
** Fauci’s other method of lying was simply to pretend that he didn’t understand something, and then hope the lawyer asking the question wouldn’t be able to catch him in the lie. For example, he very obviously lied at one point when he claimed he didn’t know what Meta (parent company of Facebook) was, until he was forced to admit that he did, in fact, know what Meta was.
** Another Fauci tactic: when forced to admit he had made a communication or reviewed a key record at a key time, or knew or worked with a key individual, he would try and downplay each negative fact by (1) downplaying the significance of the communication, (2) suggest that while he reviewed the key record, he didn’t really read it carefully, or (3) with false humility suggest that he was not an expert in X field and so did not fully understand the scientific study at issue, or (4) claim that, while he did “know” said individual, he doesn’t really know them that well because he meets so many doctors and scientists as part of his job.
** Other Fauci deceit tactics: throwing subordinates under the bus. Fauci is a famous survivor among bureaucrats. One way he has survived this long is by only taking credit for wins and pawning off losses on hapless subordinates. This trend continued in his deposition, in which he brazenly argued that, while he is the head of the NIAID and its $6 billion dollar budget, he repeatedly didn’t have any knowledge about what his immediate direct reports were doing right under his nose. Fauci supports accountability, so long as he has a subordinate to sacrifice.
** Fauci argued that Hydroxychloroquine was “dangerous” and had “toxic” side effects. This is absurd, because HCQ is one of the safest medicines known to man, but also because the COVID “vaccine” has killed te

Not sure yet, but investigations are still ongoing, and this will probably be one more nail in his coffin.

Lock him up.
If he didn't ship the gain of function our own people declared too dangerous to experiment on in the US to overseas countries (China and Ukraine that we know of)... the Covid outbreak would not have occurred as early as it did.
And now, we learn that there were two releases of Covid.

TWITTER FILES: WHO Stealth-Edited Vaccine Info To Help Twitter Censor Tucker Carlson
BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, APR 28, 2023 - 06:00 AM
Authored by Paul Thacker, former lead investigator for Sen. Chuck Grassley, via The DisInformation Chronicle (emphasis ours),
In a revisit to his famed critique of the media “Manufacturing Consent,” MIT’s Noam Chomsky explained in a 2018 interview that money and elites shape and censor the news, ensuring journalistic complicity in protecting corporations and those in power.
“The myth is that the media are independent, adversarial, courageous, struggling against power,” Chomsky said. “That’s actually true of some. There are often very fine reporters, correspondents. In fact, the media does a fine job, but within a framework that determines what to discuss, not to discuss.”
Much of this framework was exposed in a blistering account by a Columbia Journalism Review investigation that documented years of faulty reporting and journalistic failures in coverage of Trump by media outlets including the New York Times and Washington Post—many times in articles that later won journalism prizes. One of the few Americans to challenge the official framework of acceptable narratives was a controversial and polarizing Fox News TV talking head, hated by the mainstream reporters for daring to throw darts at liberal pieties.
Nonetheless, the majority of reporters have shrugged aside their colleagues’ reporting fiascoes and the damage done to their own reputations, and continue to blame most failures in journalism on one person: Tucker Carlson.
So it was not surprising that reporters began a week-long celebration this Monday when Fox fired Tucker. But years before Fox canned him, Twitter Files show that the bird company sought to clip Tucker’s wings when he reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) did not recommend that children get the COVID-19 vaccine.
When Tucker’s June 2021 report on the WHO’s vaccine recommendations hit Twitter, the WHO stealth edited their COVID vaccine page to remove language Tucker cited in his op-ed. The following day, Twitter officials began discussing Tucker’s essay and how to limit its impact without calling attention to Tucker and creating “political risks” for Twitter by directly censoring Fox News.
“Given that this article’s narrative is related to ‘big tech censorship’, I want to be mindful that taking action at the URL level could lead to this particular article gaining more traction rather than mitigating the harm,” emailed one Twitter executive.
4. Twitter then punished Tucker Carlson for this op-ed.

Back and forth emails find Twitter officials scrambling to control vaccine information and limit damage to the WHO. According to a previously reported Twitter File, Twitter began helping their client Johnson and Johnson market the pharma company’s COVID vaccine in early 2021 while simultaneously removing tweets for what they called vaccine “misinformation.” In the end, Twitter apparently chose to ignore Tucker’s op-ed itself and annotate tweets for “vaccine misinformation” if the tweet were to “explicitly advance the claims in the op-ed itself.”
The Twitter employee who first brought attention to Tucker’s op-ed was policy communications specialist, Elizabeth Busby. Busby joined Twitter in 2020 after leaving the Senate, where she was deputy national press secretary to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a frequent critic of Tucker Carlson. Busby’s work history includes a stint at SKDKnickerbocker, a PR and lobby shop closely aligned with the Democratic party. Busby now leads “trust and safety communications” at Twitter.
A peek behind the paywall...
Shortly after countries began authorizing COVID vaccines, the WHO published an evaluation of vaccine safety and efficacy on April 8, 2021. The guidance evaluated four vaccines: AstraZenca/Oxford, Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer/BionTech. At the time, the WHO advised people to take whichever vaccine was available, stating that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective for most people 18 years and older.
For children, the WHO advised against COVID vaccines:

WE WERE RIGHT: Latest Twitter Files Release Uncovers Lies that Russian Accounts Impacted 2016 Election
By Joe Hoft
Apr. 27, 2023 7:30 am
The latest Twitter Files release (#21) provides more evidence that the narrative that Russian accounts were materially impacting US elections was a lie. This is exactly what TGP said years ago.
Before the 2016 Election, the Hillary and Obama gang was scared that President Trump might win and then look into their crimes so they created the lie that candidate Trump was tied to Russians.
The fact was that the Obama Administration, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had allowed the sale of a significant amount of US uranium to the Russians for millions. In return the Clintons received millions and we don’t know how much the rest of the Obama Administration received. This action is referred to as Uranium One.
The Obama Administration participated in a crime spree. It spied on the Trump Administration, gave billions to Iran, opened the southern border, created sanctuary cities, backed corrupt Soros activities, and now we know participated in human trafficking of minors.
As Banks Fail and Americans Scramble to Protect Retirement Accounts With Physical Gold and Silver, A Faith-Based Company Shows Them How
These people were conflicted and they did not want to get found out. So they made up Russia collusion.
To make their false narrative appear real, those involved in the Russia collusion lie went to Twitter and asked Twitter to identify Russian accounts interfering in the 2016 Election. The Obama and Clinton lackeys then used this information to claim Russian interference.
TGP in February 2018 determined that the Russian bots that the left was saying interfered in the 2016 election only garnered 175k retweets. It was all a lie.
The latest Twitter file thread dug deeper into this narrative. When first requested to list Russian accounts by corrupt Senator Warner, Twitter only found 179 accounts.
Twitter was forced to change how it identified Russians and the result was to include basically anyone as a Russian. Even Green Party candidate Jill Stein was labeled a Russian.
The corrupt and dishonest Big Media (Mainstream Media) used this BS to push the Trump-Russia BS narrative. It was all a lie.
A couple of Clemson professors became experts in the ‘let’s call everything a Russian’ lie.
After years of pushing the Russia bot lie, one Clemson professor said that Russian trolls are not as prevalent as you think.
TGP was right. And again, as we uncover the truth, individuals at Twitter, corrupt Senator Warner and the rest of his gang, and so-called “experts” are now properly identified as people who cannot be trusted and never should be again.
