Tom interviews investigative journalist Sonia Elijah about her book 3/11 Viral Takeover, a five-year, evidence-based chronicle of the COVID era with 941 citations drawn from FOIA releases, emails, and leaked documents. Elijah argues COVID policy reflected a coordinated, censorship-driven response, tracing a timeline of pre-2020 pandemic exercises, media/government coordination, and conflicts of interest. She discusses the WHO’s March 11, 2020 pandemic declaration, alleged suppression of lab-origin discussion, flawed modeling used to justify lockdowns, and problems with PCR testing. The conversation covers propaganda and censorship networks (including the Trusted News Initiative), suppression of early treatments, harms from ventilators and drugs, and allegations of misclassified vaccine trial and safety data, including pregnancy and myocarditis concerns, urging accountability and preparedness against repetition.

Thomas Kurz discusses his upcoming book, Why There Is No Climate Crisis (Kindle in May, print in June), and argues modest warming is largely natural, claiming the IPCC obscures evidence of past climate variability. He explains paleoclimate proxies (oxygen isotopes, carbon-14, beryllium-10) and links climate shifts to Milankovitch cycles, solar cycles, galactic cosmic rays influencing clouds, and ocean oscillations (AMO/PDO). Using temperature reconstructions, glacier, treeline, sea-level, historical freeze, agriculture, insect, and civilization records, he says warm periods brought prosperity while cold periods drove drought, famine, disease, and upheaval. He concludes about half of post-1850 warming is natural, warming is generally beneficial, and future cooling is likely.

Brenda Shaffer discusses her Wall Street Journal piece arguing that current renewable-driven policies undermine energy security by making Western systems less reliable, more expensive, and dependent on concentrated supply chains, often tied to China. She says maritime security failures (Red Sea, Russia-Ukraine, Strait disruptions) show poor preparation, and argues fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix (87%) despite decades of subsidies, while wind/solar remain limited and require backup baseload. She criticizes restricting fossil-fuel finance, especially in Africa, for worsening energy access and development. Shaffer claims UN climate institutions are political, seek taxation power withouBt representation, and that climate movements often oppose both fossil fuels and nuclear. She highlights Germany’s costly energy transition, emphasizes operational energy in warfare, and calls to restore energy security as national security and enable open debate.
