Best of the Web: Big Pharma singling out, hunting down dissenting doctors

Doctor Mary Bowden resign covid
© KPCR 2Dr Mary Bowden's resignation comes days after Houston Methodist suspended the doctor's hospital privileges and accused her of "using her social media accounts to express her personal and political opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine and treatments."
Technocrats at Big Pharma cannot tolerate dissenting doctors, especially those who have successfully treated COVID with early therapies. Thus, they are using every possibly lever to destroy their careers and silence them. This anti-competitive practice could be stopped by local, state or federal government and/or courts, but they are silent. This highlights that it is Technocrats who are in control now, not government.

Is this behavior legal? Absolutely not. When a local business is targeted and destroyed by arson, investigators always turn to the two most common perpetrators: First, the owner and secondly, to any competitor that wants to put them out of business. Criminal anti-competitive behavior is always wrong but the chances of holding any Big Pharma accountable is near zero.

Technocracy is the clear and present danger to America, but stopping it is up to the people themselves. โ€” TN Editor

Dr. Mercola writes:

November 4, 2021, the Biden administration announced two major COVID jab policies aimed at two-thirds of American workers.1 At the time, 70% of American adults had supposedly acquiesced to the novel gene therapy, but that was not enough.

In violation of the U.S. Constitution, Biden charged the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to create a rule that all employers with 100 employees or more must have a fully "vaccinated" staff or face stiff fines.

At the same time, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) implemented a requirement that forced health care workers at facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid to be fully "vaccinated" or lose their jobs.2

Best of the Web: The Kurdish project in Syria would be a 'new Israel' in the Middle East

YPG kurds syria soldiers
© REUTERS / Rodi SaidKurdish fighters from the People's Protection Units (YPG) take part in a military parade as they celebrate victory over the Islamic state, in Qamishli, Syria March 28, 2019.
Syrians accuse the Western-backed Kurdish enclave in the country of using ethnic cleansing and child soldiers against them to form a new anti-Arab state. The parallels with Israel's creation in the 1940s are striking.

Kurdish forces in Syria have been lauded by many in the West as being fighters for freedom and an autonomous society. But, unless you've been following independent researchers and the Syrian media, you might be unaware of the crimes the US-backed group have been committing over a number of years.

On November 25, the Daily Sabah (a website not sympathetic to the Syrian government) reported on one of their most sickening practices. It revealed,
"YPG/PKK terrorists detained three more 15-year-old girls - Hediyye Abdurrahim Anter, Evin Jalal Halil and Ayana Idris Ibrahim - in Amuda in Hassakeh province on Nov. 21 to forcibly recruit them as 'child fighters.' The terror group detained two children, aged 13 and 16, in early August. And two children aged 16 and 13 were kidnapped Aug. 23."

Comment: It is shameful how the Kurdish leadership has repaid Syria for its protection and hospitality. Syria is the only country that has been a consistent friend to the Kurds, yet they have thrown in with the Empire, in a mistaken belief that they will thereby achieve autonomy.

Dr. Frederick Seitz: "I have never before witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report."

Dr. Tom Segalstad: "The IPCC global warming model is not supported by the scientific data."

RECORD COLD GRIPS SIBERIA (-68.3F)

Last winter (2020-21) held historically cold across vast swathes of transcontinental Russia โ€” it went down as northern/central Asia's 'longest and harshest' winter on record. But now this year, the chill has started even earlier...

Extreme frosts have struck Siberia this week. A low of -55.7C (-68.3F) was observed in Delyankir on December 1.

Such a reading would be considered rare for January or February, let alone the first morning of December. It's also one just 0.7C and 2.8C above the city's all time November and December low temperature records, respectively.

Best of the Web: Germany announces de facto lockdown for the unvaccinated and considers compulsory jabs

Angela Merkel

Germany announced a de-facto lockdown for the unvaccinated on Thursday, which will bar them from most businesses and venues except grocery shops and pharmacies.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the measures were necessary in order to curb coronavirus infections that again topped 70,000 newly confirmed cases in a 24-hour period.
"The situation in our country is serious," Mrs Merkel told reporters in Berlin, calling the measure an "act of national solidarity".
The general vaccine mandate could come into force as early as February if approved by lawmakers.

Those who have proof of recent Covid recovery will not be affected by the measures, local media reports.


Comment: Papers, please. Is history itself repeating again?

Germany and Austria need to be careful this time around: to avoid allowing fascism and tyranny to become a disguise for a public care policy and thus, in the process, hijack the freedom and basic human rights of people.

Have we learned the lesson?

Best of the Web: Prognosticator of prognosticators Jim Cramer wants nationwide vaccine mandate: 'Have the military run it'


Comment: "Trump was a dictator, but it's not dictatorship when we dictate!"...


Jim Kramer
CNBC host Jim Cramer expressed outrage at Americans who have refused to get vaccinated against the coronavirus and suggested the White House consider creating a universal vaccine mandate for all people in the United States.

"So it's time to admit that we have to go to war against COVID," Cramer said on his long-running business program "Mad Money" on Monday. "Require vaccination universally. Have the military run it. If you don't want to get vaccinated, you better be ready to prove your conscientious objector status in court."

President Biden has not suggested a nationwide vaccine mandate but on Monday assured Americans that the best way to protect themselves and others from all variants of the coronavirus is to receiver a full vaccination course and a booster shot.


Comment: Needless to say, Jim Cramer is a shill and a total tool for corporate-fascist-totalitarian interests - with little to no concern for the welfare of anyone who doesn't give him a paycheck to spout such harmful drivel. No doubt we will be hearing more such mouthpieces lay the coercion and fear-mongering on in the coming months.

Best of the Web: CIA Files Say Staffers Committed Sex Crimes Involving Children. They Weren't Prosecuted

Declassified CIA inspector general reports show a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold agency personnel accountable

Over the past 14 years, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.

Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime. Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible loss of their jobs and security clearances. That marks a striking deviation from how sex crimes involving children have been handled at other federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Administration. CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal state secrets.

The revelations are contained in hundreds of internal agency reports obtained by BuzzFeed News through Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.

Best of the Web: UK PM held 'crowded' Christmas parties in 2020 whilst country was on lockdown

boris johnson christmas mask downing street
More witnesses detail festivities at Downing Street while the rest of the public were told not to mingle
Boris Johnson is under intense pressure to explain why No 10 staff seemingly held two parties during lockdown last winter as insiders said the prime minister attended one gathering and remarked on how packed it was.

Witnesses have come forward to detail party games and festivities beyond midnight in Downing Street during the winter 2020 lockdown, expanding on reports first made in the Daily Mirror.

Johnson and his press secretary did not deny the events took place though they simultaneously insisted no Covid rules were broken. Without elaboration, they said on Wednesday that they "don't recognise" some of the reports.

Comment: Since the beginning of the contrived crisis there have been endless scandals exposing the hypocrisy of those in society, particularly high level politicians, but even mayors and teachers, who will readily flout the tyrannical restrictions they deem others must suffer, including young children.

For some, such as the teachers, it's likely that they're looking for any outlet to release the pent up stress from the nearly two years of draconian measures and are almost oblivious to what they're doing, however, others, particularly those legislating the restrictions are almost certainly aware of what they're doing but they believe that the nonsensical rules simply do not apply to them, because they're special and not part of the 'great unwashed'. What does that say about the psychology of those people?

Here are just a few of the latest examples:

Austria's politicians:


President Biden & Prince Charles:


Israel's politicians:


UK teachers:

The FAA accidentally disclosed more than 2,000 flight records associated with Jeffrey Epstein's private jets
Domestic flight records associated with Jeffrey Epstein's private jets, provided by the FAA, reveal more than 700 previously unknown flights.
  • Insider requested all flight-history data associated with four planes owned by Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The FAA rejected the request but later provided the records in response to an unrelated request.
  • The new FAA records include hundreds of previously unknown flights made by Epstein's jets.
  • They corroborate Insider's reporting on Epstein's travel patterns as documented in court records and flight-signal data.
  • A searchable database now contains 2,618 flights made by Epstein's private jets from 1995 to July 6, 2019.
In January 2020, Insider asked the Federal Aviation Administration for all the agency's flight records, including departure and arrival data, associated with a fleet of private jets owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Filed under the Freedom of Information Act, our request seemed to have a decent chance of success: The agency in 2011 released its entire database of US-based flights to The Wall Street Journal.

Northern Territory police say they don't believe three teenagers who allegedly absconded from Darwin's Howard Springs COVID-19 quarantine facility this morning came into contact with members of the community.

At a COVID update press conference, NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner confirmed the teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17, tested negative for the virus yesterday.

He said all three were from the Binjari community near Katherine and had been sent into quarantine as close contacts of positive cases.

NT Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker said officers found the trio on the edge of Palmerston and arrested them after a chase on foot.

He said the young people are still being interviewed but "early indications" were they had not had any contact with members of the public.

Best of the Web: CIA review shows US intelligence community 'struggled' to brief Trump in 2016

The U.S. intelligence community "struggled" to brief former President Trump in the weeks before he entered office, according to a newly published account of his transition released by the CIA's academic center.

John Helgerson, a retired intelligence officer who wrote the chapter on Trump's transition in the CIA's book on briefing presidents, wrote that Trump's transition to the White House in late 2016 and early 2017 was "far and away the most difficult" experience the intelligence community (IC) had briefing new presidents.
