  1. I like the way mysterious masked dinosaur man thinks!

  2. *spoiler alert*. As with the Oscars, people in striped Pajamas win all the prizes.

    • I’m sure we can dig up something out of the now defunded and closed NPR/PBS. Although would this be like kicking a dead horse? The whole thing seems strange to me that they would shut it down. The parasitic class definitely has a reason why they closed it down. What that reason is I can not put my finger on it.

  3. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7WzmJQDaHMQ Have a go at Rutte, with his daddy-oh remark and his totally fake diplomacy as a renowned liar he proved to be in Holland, born in Wassenaar where their family dog, a german shepherd, was locked up in the hall closet during the night. Everyone should know he’s had a perverted life: he stayed true to his origins and would demolish the earth if he could, he would..

  4. Make a special mention on Tucker Carlson’s feeble attempt of covering the destruction at the WTC on 9/11.

    • thanks for those links. Ive shared them with my red pill fence sitting friends, including a lecture about avoiding denial, and chucked it in the who sculpted the Easter island heads file. We certainly get our share of mystery in this life.

  5. I’d like to nominate the BBC, in the UK, for it’s “unbiased” news reporting. This institution is supposed to follow a Royal Charter to ensure its neutrality, when reporting news.
    It was bad enough when the BBC lies were spewing out of Syria, several years ago, but how they thought that they could get away with this one really does beggar belief.
    This institution has been idealogically captured for the 40 years, at least, when I have given it any heed.
    It tried to scare everyone into taking covid treatments and under-reported all the injuries and negative stories surrounding these interventions. It held nobody to account and has always soft balled the questions to our politicians.
    However, the icing on the cake to which I previously hinted, is the heavily edited Trump speech; which happened shortly before the rioting at the Capitol building.

  6. My vote for Fake news of 2025 ? Maryland Man, Charlie Kirk was shot with a 30.06 probably takes the cake but I am not sure if it qualifies as fake news. Global warming is probably my favorite bit of BS but that has been going on for along time.

    I am looking forward to the awards and the return of the Kent Brockman like character.

  7. I’m not sure how to word this, but it seems that the way ‘they’ (meaning all propaganda pushers and mainstream narratives in millions of different ways) frame Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel as the GOOD and SACRED heroes of the world story (saving world democracy!), while the rest of the world sees this as utterly FAKE. Benjamin Netanyahu is demonic, clearly.

    Other ideas:

    1. Charlie Kirk ‘assassination’: Charlie Kirk is probably on an island somewhere sipping martinis with Epstein. That whole immediately-covered-up scene seemed entirely fake, but I don’t know how to prove given all the mis & dis dialog.
    2. Bombing Venezuelan ‘drug’ boats to protect American freedom.

    I’m looking forward to Corbett and Broc collaboration in 2026!

  8. I’ll definitely go for Charlie Kirk’s murder, and his “supposed” wife attempt to open doors for herself in politics… The whole thing sounds like a cheap theater play with many, many blunders.

    Oh, and the Snake Eyes film with Nicolas cage as Charles Kirkland and his murderer bearing an identical name us our Charlie Kirk’s killer and the similarity between the murders…

    Thank James, looking forward to watching our Dinos show! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Reporting on President Trumpโ€™s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, NBC News claimed โ€œthere is no evidenceโ€ that non-citizens vote in โ€œsignificant numbers.โ€

    IN FACT, a rigorous study conducted by Just Facts
    https://www.justfacts.com/news_non-citizen_voter_registration
    found that roughly 1.0โ€“2.7 million non-citizens illegally voted in 2024.
    Furthermore, repeated attempts to debunk the study epically failed, including those by NPR, the New York Times, the BBC, Snopes, and a cadre of scholars.

  10. I really enjoyed the release of the Epstein files as one of the best fake news stories of the year. Top notch fakery.

    Other best fake news stories that come to mind are the two measles deaths, which actually were deaths due to hospital mistakes. Or Charlie Kirks murder, which was clearly not from a lone gunman who used a magic bullet and who changed clothes and disassembled a gun and reassembled a gun a few times and also made a very strange confession that sounded really fake. The US bombings on Iran, and all the stories about fighting the war against narcoterrorism and the kidnapping a foreign leader because “drugs”. All great fake news.

    Oh, actually, my favorite had to be DOGE and the breakup between Trump and Elon. That was the best. Really drama filled for maximum entertainment.

  11. Has anyone else read this paper on Charlie Kirk? It solidified that this whole thing was fake after I got my first inkling after they caught the guy in 33 hours hahaha come on, get a new script already! https://mileswmathis.com/kirk.pdf

    The next step after realizing that this was entirely manufactured is to realize that maybe all of our history has been (including ancient history too folks)…..then, that’s when the fake world starts to fall away as you reject it and a beautiful world of wonder opens up inside us and all around us <3

  12. My first nominee is the US government’s accusation that Venezuela’s President is guilty of narco terrorism, whatever that is.

    My second nominee is the killing of Charlie Kirk.

    My third nominee is the shooting of Agent Orangeโ„ข.

  13. Finally, one of my favourite time of the year. I am looking forward to it James!!

    My nominations:

    1) The UK Government with introducing Digital ID to tackle illegal immigration
    September 2025

    “Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme”: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g54g6vgpdo

    It’s just for immigration, trust us guys….

    Then, followed by 10th October 2025
    “Government to consult on digital IDs for 13-year-olds”: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjvrgd48evo

    Finally, followed by 16 December 2025
    “The UKโ€™s Plan to Put an Age Verification Chaperone in Every Pocket”: https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-demands-nude-image-blocking-on-devices

    To continue in 2026…

    2) Donald Trump as the Peace President

    Something that you have already covered a lot James, e.g: https://corbettreport.com/nwny2026/

  14. biggest ongoing fakes:

    “cease fire in Gaza”. I. offensive F. has killed and continues to kill innocents daily while media (theirs) claims there is a cease fire on.

    “the deep state will get called out and perp walked”. one year later zero found guilty, but lotsa attention wasted.

  15. The time is 21:12….very RUSH ๐Ÿ˜€

  16. So many qualified nominees, where to start..

    How about the many countries(US, England, Australia, New Zealand, etc) trying who tried to convince us everyone must prove their age online to keep kids safe. Because COPPA apparently doesn’t exist.

    Trump and everyone from the mainstream propoganda networks who keep telling us the economy is fine while they stop production of the penny, gold and silver start their trek to the moon, and many of us where laid off for longer than we’ve ever been because companies are scared, and hiring is so broken.

    I think more than ever this is the year to nominate Zionists like the government of Israel who keep telling us everyone is an anti-semite while they commit genocide in Palestine, commit terrorist acts throughout the Middle East, and make announcements about how they didn’t kill Charlie Kirk (What an odd thing to say..).

    Bondi, Trump, Patel, and everyone at the DOJ for pretending the Epstein files didn’t exist, do exist, we have them, we never saw them, hurry up and redact them!!

  17. I nominate all the fake herbalists, permaculture designers, regenerative ag promoters and other Chatbot (LLM) generated slop pushing scammers on Substack (there is a frightening amount of them and they are increasing exponentially).

    Here are a few examples.

    1. In the note below I share my experience with a publication that goes by “Agy – The Buffalo Herbalist” related to a comment about A.I. Generated content, where she deleted all my comments and then blocked me out of the blue.

    https://substack.com/profile/43807786-gavin-mounsey/note/c-195826164

    I suspected her content may be A.I. generated based on her erratic behavior and censorship so I ran her writing through an AI detector and sure enough 100% LLM generated slop (and people go to this lady for health and herbalism advice! scary mix).

    • 2. “Benjamin Life” of the “omniharmonic” Substack publication.

      https://omniharmonic.substack.com/

      I recently came his publication that was rapid firing machine gunning articles out about ecology and regenerative living and the articles had that chatbotty vibe to them. Aside from some vague romanticization of past statist regimes, the actual content was filled with many truths, just felt un-human.

      So I asked the guy if he uses AI for writing. Unlike most that use the tech and do not tell people upfront on their publication, He was honest and said he does (but explained how he does it so much more responsibly and considerately then other people of course).

      So I asked why he does not tell people upfront that the articles are written with generative AI tech. Here is part of his response (I can link the comment, or screenshot if he deletes it for context if anyone is interested):

      โ€œI tried that initially but it felt like it devalued the work which I stand behind entirely.. ..Personally, I’ve embraced it because it allows for a prolific output that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Before Al, I could produce one thoroughly researched essay every 1-3 months. Now I’m producing work every week which feels somehow important given how accelerated collapse and rebirth feels.โ€

      So he doesnโ€™t want to scare people away from becoming a subscriber because they donโ€™t like reading AI generated content, so he doesnโ€™t tell them it is AI generated, but then also says he stands behind the writing entirely?

      Hmm something does not quite add up there for me. I shall put that under the umbrella of Fake News!

    • 3. The very popular substack publication titled “Lies are Unbekoming” by the pseudonym screenname “Unbekoming”

      https://unbekoming.substack.com/

      Tereza Coraggio of Third Paradigm posted an expose on that publication which I will quote below.

      “Every day, the prolific Substacker Lies Are Unbekoming posts 2-3 lengthy book reviews, essays or interviews, prefaced with AI art. Elegantly written, the book summaries include a detailed intro, a clever analogy, a one-minute elevator explanation, a 12-point summary, the golden nugget, and 30 Q & A…

      So whatโ€™s my problem?

      – Uses undisclosed AI to generate content, which any HS teacher would call deceptive writing.

      – Back when his writing was authentic, he was fooled by now-known opposition controllers and IAโ€”intelligence assets.

      – Presents now as having impeccable skills, superhuman intelligence, and a library of research at his fingertips, all of which give him a borrowed authority.

      – Prioritizes volume over engagement, either with the ideas of the author or the arguments of commenters who have engaged with those ideas.

      – Mixes psyops with research indiscriminately, giving equal credibility to any view that differs from the accepted narrative.

      – Misspells authorโ€™s name in titles, not reading the AI content that got it right.

      – Censors comments challenging the authenticity of opposition speakers, then deletes any evidence of censoring comments.

      – Defeats his own purpose of discerning truth from lies by not using his own mind, the only intelligence there is.

      Even though itโ€™s self-evident that this level of output isnโ€™t humanly possible, Unbekoming makes no mention of AI. Heโ€™s never responded to Good Citizenโ€™s AI detector showing that his content had a 100% AI probability:

      Good Citizen writes:

      Alazon Scribesโ€”this is how Substack becomes a GPT Wikipedia Readerโ€™s Digest, of regurgitated formulaic writings. For those too young to remember Readerโ€™s Digest on supermarket shelves, they were the first to embrace these same โ€œwritingโ€ and marketing templates, which pioneered the condensed, easily digestible content model that promised maximum information in minimum time:

      – Formulaic headlines that promise insider knowledge

      – Bite-sized, pre-digested, and regurgitated information

      – Continuous subscriber engagement tactics

      – Standardized template formats

      – Gift subscription pushes during holidays

      – โ€œYou may have already won $10 million!โ€ sweepstakes

      – Multiple renewal notices with escalating urgency”

  18. This isn’t officially a fake news story, yet… but Mark Felton, a WWII historian with a popular YouTube channel, has been investigating the death of Heinrich Himmler on May 23, 1945 while in British custody and he indicates the British may have presented a fake body to cover up what may have really happened to him around his death. It’s not proof of a fake news story but it is an extraordinary report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYXWOxZf5-U&t=303s.

    Can’t wait! Best to you and dino man.

    • The “body of Hitler” was a female.
      And investigators could trace him all the way to Argentina. (See Hunting Hitler).

      So I suspect that a lot of coverups have been going on.

  19. I’m sure we can dig up something out of the now defunded and closed NPR/PBS. Although would this be like kicking a dead horse? The whole thing seems strange to me that they would shut it down. The parasitic class definitely has a reason why they closed it down. What that reason is I can not put my finger on it.

    • I don’t know either… so hang out with my 2 cents guessing… State sponsored podcasters are cheaper and easier to control… Liked your comment.
