The News Cycle is almost impossible to track these days. At least, to do so fully.
That’s where we come in.
In the Badlands News Brief, the Badlands Media team is going to take you through a few news items of interest from the previous day in an attempt to give you an overview of the biggest goings-on relevant to the Truth Community while introducing you to some brief, original commentary from our growing team of citizen journalists.

Now, onto the news from Monday, February 13 …
Domestic Chernobyl Hits East Palestine, Ohio
Badlands’ own Woke Societies is leading the charge of citizen journalists exposing the ongoing ecological disaster spilling out of Ohio while the media continues to focus the public's attention on everything BUT what’s happening within its own borders.
Check out his full, viral Twitter thread by clicking the linked Tweet below. — Badlands Media
Our Take : “While we are all being distracted with objects in the sky, potential World War, and the Super Bowl, a Chernobyl-sized disaster is unfolding in Palestine, Ohio … and not a single major media outlet is making a peep about it.
Reports of journalists being arrested for asking questions have surfaced, and it appears there is a cover-up of epic proportions occurring.
Meanwhile, the country’s Secretary Of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg makes no mention of this disaster. He did, however, make sure to voice his opinion on there being too many ‘white employees’ working on trains in this country, so there’s that.” — AbsoluteTruth1776
If Biden Blew Up Nord Stream 2, Should He Be Impeached for Committing an Act of War Against a Nuclear Power without Congressional Consent?
I can’t confirm or deny whether there was US Govt/Military involvement in the Nordstream 2 pipeline attack, but it is highly important to understand what the historic equivalent of this is, if this event really did take place as reported, that US Military personnel planted explosives on the Nordstream 2 pipeline and later remote-detonated it.
The historic equivalent is the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, which was the sparking event that resulted in World War I.
That’s where we are right now. Like in World War I, that event started alliances to fall in place that hadn’t even been solidified previously. If this Nordstream 2 event gets further investigated, and proven true that the U.S. was behind it – it’s as if we shot Archduke Ferdinand. — The Gateway Pundit
Our Take: “Biden’s list of impeachable offenses stretches from here to Ukraine.
We should all have realized by now that Biden is a fall guy. I can see it now: "Uh oh, I guess Biden was in cognitive decline after all, and that's why he collapsed our economy and got us involved in World War III, whoopsie!"
It might behoove us to wait and see who ends up benefiting the most from this.
Is this an impeachable offense? Sure, Donald J. Trump's attempted impeachment demonstrated that you can impeach a president based solely on hearsay. The question is: will this be the first offense that Congress takes seriously?
The offenses started piling up the day Biden was installed, most notably the intentionally demographic-changing open border edicts that are in direct defiance of existing federal law.
The question on a lot of people's minds is, "Who was this play on behalf of?"
The verdict is out, but the general consensus is that all roads lead to Switzerland.” — Ryan DeLarme
Michigan State University shooting leaves five wounded; manhunt underway for suspect
A gunman opened fire inside an academic hall on Michigan State University's campus on Monday evening, leaving at least five people wounded, according to police.
The suspect, described as a short Black male wearing black pants, a blue jacket, and red shoes, was still on the run as of 11:30 p.m.
All five victims, some of whom have life-threatening wounds, were transported to Sparrow Hospital for treatment.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers from several different agencies were involved in the search for the suspect. — FOX News
Our Take: “With the impending release of names on Epstein’s list, the very high likelihood that the United States blew up the Nordstream pipeline, and the impending ecological disaster in Palestine, Ohio—not to mention the litany of other issues facing the Biden Administration—one has to wonder, at what point do we begin to consider that objects floating through the sky and mass shootings may in fact be perpetrated for the purpose of distracting the populace?
Red herrings. Wagging the dog, if you will. Look here, not there.
One has to wonder what, exactly is coming that requires so many distractions and narratives to develop at one time.
Or, as General Flynn put it: ‘shiny objects.’” — AbsoluteTruth1776
New York Congresswoman questions if China’s spy balloon is 'decoy' by the CCP
New York GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney questions if the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina is meant to be a distraction for something else that the Chinese Communist Party is behind.
"You have a president that is now getting inundated with these types of bizarre crossings," Tenney told "Just the News, No Noise" Monday. "And I wonder, are they surveillance? Probably. Do we know? No. But we should. The other thing is, are these decoys? Is there something else going on that we should know about that China is doing and the Chinese Communist Party is involved?"
Yesterday the U.S. military shot down a suspicious object over Lake Huron. Previously, the United States downed three objects within a week that were believed to be surveillance balloons.
The New York congresswoman noted that China has done other things to undermine U.S. security. — Just the News
Our Take: “Questioning the official narrative on the balloon scandal appears to be the ‘new normal.’ Usually relegated to the domain of those insufferable conspiracy theorists, the congresswomen from NY is asking what many people are thinking: is there something more to the story?
Those in the know might not reveal the truth, or might not be able to any time soon. And perhaps this is the point, as Rep. Claudia Tenney implies.
What's the real agenda, here? Almost everyone agrees the official story is woefully inadequate. Perhaps that's the point. Or, perhaps getting us to question is the much bigger point.
Consider that mass deception often requires that people stop asking questions. Therefore, is it possible that getting us to ask questions is the goal? If so, who or what has this goal in mind?
Certainly those deep state globalists who want blind compliance don't need or want people asking questions. Of course, we can't rule anything out at this point, but the exercise itself is beneficial.
Questioning everything is one of the pillars of discernment, something that is anathema to the powers that be.” — Justin Deschamps
James Clapper now claims he didn’t call Hunter Biden laptop ‘Russian disinfo’
A key signer of the open letter that wrongly suggested The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s emails was part of a “Russian information operation” has accused Politico of distorting “what we said” — more than two years after the fact.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tried Monday to tamp down the growing controversy over the letter that he and 50 other ex-spooks signed after The Post first revealed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop in October 2020.
Their public statement, now the subject of investigations by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, was first reported by Politico and later seized on by then-candidate Joe Biden. — The New York Post
Our Take: “Hunter's laptop really is the gift that keeps on giving.
If we are to believe Rep. James Comer (R-KY,) then we may see these 51 intelligence officials appear before the Judiciary Committee and be grilled in a similar fashion to what we witnessed with the Twitter Execs last week.
I'm still eager to learn how this letter was created and agreed upon by 51 experts only 5 days after the Post story broke. Did 51 intelligence officials all have a whoopsie? It'll be interesting listening to them try to spin this before a GOP led House Judiciary Committee.
Unfortunately, the wording of the letter does at least appear to give them an out (these are professional liars after all) when it states: ‘It is for all these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’
They will try to split hairs and try to claim they didn't actually SAY it was Russian disinformation, just that it had indicators of one.
Regardless, the hearing will still be explosive, and even the fence sitters will have to admit how shady this all is.
Net gains.” — Ryan DeLarme
China says U.S. balloons have flown over its airspace more than 10 times since last year
China's Foreign Ministry on Monday said the United States had illegally flown balloons over its airspace more than ten times since last year, and it reiterated criticism of the U.S. for allegedly overreacting by shooting down a Chinese aircraft.
"Since last year alone, U.S. high-altitude balloons have illegally flown over China's airspace more than ten times without the approval of relevant Chinese authorities," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said, as translated. "The U.S. should change its course and reflect on itself, instead of smearing and accusing China."
The U.S. military has shot down four suspicious aerial objects this month. U.S. officials say at least one of the balloons is part of a Chinese surveillance operation. — Just the News
Our Take: “Sabers continue to rattle as the deep state cranks up the WWIII rhetoric.
The Seep State wants a World War. One could even argue they need it right now in order to create as big a distraction as possible from the abysmal job being done by leftists in positions of power all over the world, and the incoming storm they will all be facing.
Furthermore, they want this war to involve China, Russia, and the U.S. So it comes as no surprise to see China declare that U.S balloons have been violating its airspace as well.” — AbsoluteTruth1776
