COVID Lab Leak Revisited
We are still trying to figure out the origin of the COVID-19 novel viris three years after the fact. This year, we are leaning toward the lab origin theory.
Other theories include, but are not limited to: Chinese wet market, bats, natural occurrence, etc.
The U.S. government has recently done a reassessment of COVID-19’s origin in China.
At it’s most basic, the origin doesn’t matter. The thing that matters is that the government is allowed to come out and say things now that many, many people were saying then without getting banned, canceled, losing your job, or death threats.
It’s a double standard.
East Palestine Residents Suffering from Illnesses Associated with Chemical Exposure
Medical professionals are associating rashes, headaches, and respiratory problems with the chemical spill causes by the Feb. 3, train derailment.
Residents and workers have been diagnosed with bronchitis and other conditions that local hospital workers think are associated with recent chemical exposure.
U.S. Averaging One Chemical Accident Every Two Days
2023 is going rough for the U.S. in the area of environmental accidents. It has come to light that we are average 1 accident every 2 days.
That is unacceptable, but is only going to get worse as we continue to ignore our crumbling infrastructure.
Officials seem deadlocked by political attacks. Then they respond by asking their attackers for help instead of criticism and continue to do nothing.
5% Shigellosis Stomach Bug Cases Now Drug Resistant
That number was 0 in 2015. Shigellosis is a bacterial infection that affects the intestines and causes inflammatory diarrhea.
The National Congress of American Indians Retires Iconic “Crying Indian” Ad
If you were present for 1970s and 80s television, then you probably remember the environmental ads depicting Iron Eyes Cody, the “crying indian”.
The National Congress of American Indians was given the rights to the famous ad and has officially retired it stating “it was always inappropriate”.
15-Minute Cities A Conspiracy Theory?
You’re darn right, they are.
What is a 15-Minute City?
The basic concept is making cities more accessible by placing everything people need within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their homes. I think Dollar General is already on board! 😆
Jokes aside, the reason conspiracy theorists are jumping on this is because it’s been embraced by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The WEF is, according to Wikipedia, “an international non-governmental and lobbying organisation based in Cologny, canton of Geneva, Switzerland.”
It’s a think tank of unelected officials who someone manage to get the attention of world leaders probably through financial means. The WEF pushes for concepts that conspiracy theorists have been challenging for decades like:
Climate change
Globalism
New World Order
One World Government
The WEF was started by Klaus Schwab. Schwab is credited with sinister quotes like, “By 2030, people will own nothing and be happy.”
RAIDER 1 News was unable to find a solid source for the origin of that quote. Even so, we must approach organizations like the WEF with caution.
Conspiracy Theorists see 15-Minute Cities as a step toward the total surveillance state/social credit system.

Documentary of the Week
Route 91 Uncovering the Cover Up - 2022
I've been fascinated by this since it happened. I followed the news on it for months after it happened...which wasn't much except for a few dedicated YouTube creators.
Then they started coming after people...whoever "they" is and YouTube started pulling content.
Earlier this year (2022), Mindy Robinson released this documentary and I was pleased to find it contained much of the original research some of those creators were doing and video clips long scrubbed from YouTube.
Please, please, please go to her channel and show her some love as she has given me permission to mirror this content here. Mindy's original video - https://radioraider.com/route91
