We have a LOT of people to thank for this clusterfuck clown show. But the ME/CFS advocates are the ones people trusted to sort this out.
They betrayed that trust and obfuscated WORSE than any other organized opposition.
ME/CFS groups should hang their heads in shame.

@jeterfan28 @julietlandau @DavidSi50785942 @coinsedgemedia @buiosegreta @bonniegrrl @RipperGiles17 @RiverCityOtter @ParkerTechGuy @BuffyLookBook Turns out Long COVID, pediatric strokes, pneumonia & lots of other problems happen because COVID isn’t a respiratory disease, like the flu.

It’s a vascular disease. Like SARS 1 in 2003, hantavirus, dengue and Marburg.

The mechanism is organ damage via blood vessel injury. 4/🧵

North Dakota Senator @SenJohnHoeven and @SenTimKaine's bipartisan legislation to maintain wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park passes in the Senate.

The legislation now goes to the House of Representatives.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park Wild Horses Protection Act, S. 1377, would require Interior to keep a genetically diverse herd of at least 150 horses in the park’s South Unit, develop a management plan within 120 days, and publicly report annually on population, structure, and health. It would bar removals except for genetic management, emergencies, or public health and safety.

NPS had considered plans that could have removed the park’s roughly 200 horses or reduced/managed them toward much lower numbers. In April 2024, after public backlash and political pressure, NPS terminated its “Livestock Plan and Environmental Assessment,” leaving the horses in place but without the kind of permanent statutory protection this bill would provide.

The Park Service argues the horses are not technically “wild horses” under the federal Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, and NPS classifies them as livestock, not native wildlife. NPS says Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s enabling law does not require or authorize livestock, and its management policies prioritize native ecosystems and natural/cultural resources.

Locals and advocates argue the horses are part of the park’s historic landscape and visitor experience. They are strongly associated with the Badlands, open-range ranching, Theodore Roosevelt’s time in Dakota Territory, and North Dakota identity.

When Theodore Roosevelt National Park was established in 1947, free-roaming horses already existed in the area. Some were likely ranch horses that had escaped or been released and then reproduced on their own. A 2024 population-genomics paper describes free-roaming horses in the Badlands at the time the park was created, including animals owned or branded by local ranchers that were allowed to forage and reproduce and later recaptured.

What are "Nakota" horses?

The name “Nokota” was coined by Leo Kuntz, one of the brothers who began buying park horses at NPS auctions. The Kuntz brothers and later the Nokota Horse Conservancy built a private breeding program to preserve horses they believed represented the older Badlands type.

Nokota advocates argue that the old Badlands horses were a composite of several sources: Indigenous horses, ranch horses, Spanish-influenced horses, draft/harness horses, Thoroughbreds, and other working-horse bloodlines used in the Dakota badlands.

The Nokota Horse Conservancy specifically points to Lakota/Hunkpapa horses, “Indian ponies,” ranch breeding by figures such as the Marquis de Morès and A.C. Huidekoper, and the persistence of blue roan, a color they associate with northern Plains horses.

One often-repeated claim is that some of the horses may trace partly to horses confiscated from Sitting Bull’s band after his surrender. The evidence here is historically suggestive but not ironclad. The better-supported version is more cautious: the old Badlands horse population likely included Indigenous-bred horses and ranch-bred horses from the same regional horse economy, rather than being a pure or directly traceable “Sitting Bull horse” line.

In the 1980s, park administrators decided to change the appearance and marketability of the herd. The Conservancy says dominant park stallions were removed or killed and replaced with outside stallions, including an Arabian, Quarter Horses, two BLM feral stallions, and a part-Shire bucking horse. It says the rationale was partly to improve appearance and sale value at auction.

For decades, NPS tried to eliminate or sharply reduce them. Historical accounts describe early removals, shooting, roundups, sales, and even horses sold to a zoo as feed for large cats. Around 1970, the park shifted toward retaining a herd as a “historic demonstration” of the open-range ranching era after recognition that Roosevelt had written about wild horses in the Badlands.

Before the recent backlash, the park had older management guidance that contemplated far fewer horses. The AP reported that a 1978 environmental assessment set a population objective of 35–60 horses, while advocates argued that a viable, genetically healthy herd needs something closer to 150–200 reproductive horses.

Footage from the Wheatland, Wyoming Off- Range Corral yesterday.

As of May 2026, BLM reported 58,025 wild horses and burros in off-range facilities: 20,350 in corrals and 36,459 in off-range pastures, plus 1,216 in public off-range pastures. BLM’s total off-range capacity was listed as 78,751 animals.

In 2024, BLM reported $101 million in off-range holding costs.

This facility was built to hold up to 3,500 wild horses and burros on more than 200 acres. It began receiving animals in January 2021 and was completed later that year.

In 2022, there was a strangles outbreak.

After the 2024 North Lander gather, BLM said Wheatland received about 2,555 horses from that gather alone.

How long are they kept there?

It can be weeks, months, or longer, depending on age, health, processing status, demand from adopters, whether mares have foals, and whether the animal is selected for transfer to another facility or pasture. BLM’s own 2024 FAQ notes that some mares and foals were being allowed “as much time as needed to settle,” especially because some mares gave birth after arrival.

They are sorted, monitored, fed hay, watered, medically processed, identified, and then moved into adoption, sale, transfer, or long-term pasture pathways.

BLM says horses at Wheatland receive daily observation by BLM staff, contracted facility staff, and a contracted veterinarian, with farrier care as needed. They are fed alfalfa hay and have unlimited water, with supplementation as needed.

A 2024 BLM Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program assessment rated Wheatland 97% compliant, but still found non-compliances: some animals needing supplemental feed had not been separated from the general population, some intact 2–3-year-old stallions had remained intact for months, and some animals who met BLM euthanasia criteria had not been euthanized.

During a 2022 assessment, Wheatland met 83% of applicable standards and was rated “Complies,” but the report noted insufficient staffing, limited small pens for sick/injured/special-care animals, no shade or windbreaks for compromised pens, drainage concerns, sharp edges, a high number of horses in body condition score 3, spoiled/moldy hay observed in several pens, inadequate simultaneous access to hay, and delayed freeze marking/Coggins testing after intake.

BREAKING: Undercover footage shows the nightmarish warehouse cells where NYC carriage horses are trapped in deplorable conditions when not in dangerous NYC traffic.

These poor animals have a HORRIFIC LIFE of walking the busy streets , in and out of congested traffic in hot and cold temperatures. These horses NEVER touch grass, never graze in pastures and no socialization with other horses .

They have NO pasture for grazing and interacting with other horses as herd animals NEED to be healthy and they are denied proper veterinary care.

THIS HAS TO STOP. TAKE ACTION BELOW TO END THIS ABUSE.

Everyone can call NYC Council Health Committee Chair Lynn Schulman at 718.544.8800 and press 0 to leave a message to ask her to cosponsor and fast- track #RydersLaw Intro 967 to end this criminal horse abuse!

NEW YORKERS: please make a quick call or send an email to your own New York City COUNCIL MEMBER urging them to POST sponsor and pass intro 967,

Here is why Fauci and Francis Collins’ SILENCE on the 🚬🔫 Furin Cleavage Site in the SARS2 spike is particularly damning and haunts me to this day...

they KNEW it pointed to SARS2 being lab construct.

They KNEW it meant a virus adapted to be highly transmissible in humans.

In 2021, Bruce Patterson, a pioneering researcher of HIV, told them he was finding (through proteomics blood testing of Long Covid patients) the spike protein and its S1 subunit persisting in the blood post C0VID, causing immune exhaustion in some people.

He was having good results treating these Long C0VID patients with an HIV drug, Maraviroc.

Bruce said he and Ram Yogendra presented this to Fauci and Collins and then they were ghosted by NIH officials, no funding, no followup.

Their findings meant that the human host enzyme Furin was cutting the spike protein at the Furin Cleavage Site into the highly toxic S1 + S2 subunits.

This released them into the body where the S1 was found to persist CHRONICALLY in the monocytes causing endothelial inflammation, and an HIV-like immune exhaustion.

In other words, when Patterson informed the NIH that the spike and S1 were implicated in an HIV-like sequelae of C0VID, #TheyKnew that the HIV gene analogs,
which they had tried to cover up (by getting Prashant Pradhan et al. and Montagnier & Perez’s research showing HIV gene analogs in SARS2 discredited),
from the GoF spike protein chimera were functioning in the body like the HIV proteins: gp120, Gag, Tat and Nef. See @ dbdugger
for the many similar parallel pathological mechanisms between the SARS2 spike protein and the HIV proteins.

Fauci & Collins knew in 2021 that SARS2 sequelae could be an HIV-like condition of immune deficiency called Long Covid and they KEPT SILENT.

They also urged mandates of an mRNA product which recreated a full length Spike Protein with a full Furin Cleavage Site in the body, causing a similar pathology of Long Vaxx in some patients.

"Sixty-two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth."

- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

In the latest episode of "In Defense of Virology," Simon Wain-Hobson discusses how unscrupulous scientists try to turn unsupported claims into accepted "facts" by repeatedly citing references that don't actually support the statements being made.

Using the 2020 paper "The Origin of COVID-19 and Why It Matters" by David Morens, Jeff Taubenberger, and colleagues as a case study, Simon explains how this "citation game" has been used again and again by virologists to create the false appearance that there is overwhelming evidence for a natural origin of COVID-19.
