The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Dr. Stella Immanuel, the pro-hydroxychloroquine doctor who was derided by the fake news media for attempting to save lives near the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, is striking back against CNN.
Immanuel has launched a $100 million lawsuit against CNN and host Anderson Cooper for what she believes were false and defamatory statements made against her character.
Warren Buffett Resigns From Gates Foundation Board
Update (1200ET): In a statement, Bill Gates responded to Warren Buffett's decision to leave the Gates Foundation board by saying he was grateful for all the wisdom and leadership Buffett has shown.
I will always have a deep sense of accountability to Warren, paying close attention to the data to track our progress and identify areas where we can do better. But the value of Warren’s gift goes beyond anything that can be measured.

Towards A Critical Data Practice
Liliana Bounegru, Jonathan Gray (eds)
The Data Journalism Handbook: Towards a Critical Data Practice provides a rich and panoramic introduction to data journalism, combining both critical reflection and practical insight. It offers a diverse collection of perspectives on how data journalism is done around the world and the broader consequences of datafication in the news, serving as both a textbook and a sourcebook for this emerging field. With more than 50 chapters from leading researchers and practitioners of data journalism, it explores the work needed to render technologies and data productive for journalistic purposes. It also gives a ‘behind the scenes' look at the social lives of datasets, data infrastructures, and data stories in newsrooms, media organizations, startups, civil society organizations and beyond. The book includes sections on ‘doing issues with data', ‘assembling data', ‘working with data', ‘experiencing data', ‘investigating data, platforms and algorithms', ‘organizing data journalism', ‘learning data journalism together' and ‘situating data journalism'.
Completely rewritten for 2020 with over 550 pages and 30 chapters. It is time to look at OSINT in a different way. For many years, and within the previous six editions of this book, we have relied on external resources to supply our search tools, virtual environments, and investigation techniques. We have seen this protocol fail us when services shut down, websites disappear, and custom resources are dismantled due to outside pressures. This book aims to correct our dilemma.

Investigative Journalism Manuals
Phi Beta Iota: Includes data journalism, teaching and training. This is the “high art” that the Mainstream Media (MSM) does not practice. Citizen journalism, while promising, is still in the mob stage and lacks professionalism.
Superb on passive online research — nothing on overt human and ground truth eyes on OSINT.
