  Bird Flu Terror: Egg Rationing Hits U.S. Grocery Stores Ben Bartee An accurate accounting of just how many chickens have been slaughtered in the name of The Science™ — in the name of combatting a virus that has never been shown to transmit from human to human and is vanishingly rare even with the occasional fraudulent PCR positive they can gin up — would be difficult to ascertain. But even by corporate state media metrics, it’s in the  hundreds of millions . Via  CBS News  (emphasis added): “Whether it's ducks or chickens,  since the current strain of bird flu, H5N1, reached the United States in 2022, over 148 million birds have been ordered euthanized .

  THE CULTURAL PRODUCTION OF TERROR How Regime Change is ruining your life Frank Wright We inhabit a vast machine of cultural production . This means that for a century the methods by which we are governed using mass culture have been constantly refined to produce a total system of control.
