Doctor Maja Marinkovic is the co-director of the Center for Gender-Affirming Care at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego and has received compensation from a company that is under investigation for advertising one of their products for off-label use as a puberty blocker.

A site that tracks public records related to the pharmaceutical industry called Caredash reports that Marinkovic has received $4,824 from Endo Pharmaceuticals in payments that were directly related to Supprelin and Supprelin LA, drugs that are used off-label as puberty blockers.

ProPublica even found that in 2018 Marinkovic received the ninth most amount of money of any physician in America for Supprelin LA. In total, Marinkovic has received $9,571 from pharmaceutical companies between 2015 and 2021, which is more than 96% of pediatricians in the U.S.

National security search engine: Google's ranks are filled with CIA agents

Google - one of the largest and most influential organizations in the modern world - is filled with ex-CIA agents. Studying employment websites and databases, MintPress has ascertained that the Silicon Valley giant has recently hired dozens of professionals from the Central Intelligence Agency in recent years. Moreover, an inordinate number of these recruits work in highly politically sensitive fields, wielding considerable control over how its products work and what the world sees on its screens and in its search results.

Chief amongst these is the trust and safety department, whose staff, in the words of then Google trust and safety vice president Kristie Canegallo, "[d]ecide what content is allowed on our platform" - in other words, setting the rules of the internet, determining what billions see and what they do not see. Before Google, Canegallo had been President Obama's Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Implementation and is currently Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security.

"We lied, we cheated, we stole"

Many of the team helping Canegallo make calls on what content should be allowed in Google searches and on platforms like YouTube were former CIA employees. For example:

Question Everything

Let Us Think For You

The average person in the First World receives more information than he would if he lived in a Second or Third World country. In many countries of the world, the very idea of twenty-four hour television news coverage would be unthinkable, yet many Westerners feel that, without this constant input, they would be woefully uninformed.

Not surprising, then, that the average First Worlder feels that he understands current events better than those elsewhere in the world. But, as in other things, quality and quantity are not the same.

The average news programme features a commentator who provides "the news," or at least that portion of events that the network deems worthy to be presented. In addition, it is presented from the political slant of the controllers of the network. But we are reassured that the reporting is "balanced," in a portion of the programme that features a panel of "experts."

Customarily, the panel consists of the moderator plus two pundits who share his political slant and a pundit who has an opposing slant. All are paid by the network for their contributions. The moderator will ask a question on a current issue, and an argument will ensue for a few minutes. Generally, no real conclusion is reached — neither side accedes to the other. The moderator then moves on to another question.

So, the network has aired the issues of the day, and we have received a balanced view that may inform our own opinions.

Or have we?

UK TV presenter collapses during live debate with Prime Minster candidates

liz truss
The latest Tory leadership debate between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss has been cancelled after the presenter fainted on air.

The Sun and TalkTV debate, hosted by journalist Kate McCann, abruptly halted around halfway through after a loud crash was heard.

TalkTV said McCann was "fine" but the channel had been given medical advice not to continue.


Comment: Did the channel also suggest she get vaccinated?


Comment: The majority of the details about the debate itself above, are, for the most part, guff, because whoever becomes the next PM will be subject to pushing the same establishment agenda, whether they like it or not.

What's starkly absent from the above report is whether Ms McCann's fainting episode was perhaps related to the experimental covid jabs that have caused a significant number of professional sports people to collapse mid performance, some who even 'died suddenly'. And that's just those in the public eye, because the true number of those injured and killed by the jabs, across the planet, is at least likely to be in the hundreds of thousands; even mainstream science and media have since admitted that they can cause a variety of harmful side effects.

Notably, a coroners report was recently released by the husband of a BBC radio presenter which said that she was killed by the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Those willing to fight are left behind while the unwilling are drafted, according to the US newspaper

Kiev's "secretive and arbitrary" military recruitment, which leads to the drafting of soldiers who are unwilling to serve, is affecting the morale of the Ukrainian troops fighting against Russia, the New York Times has reported.

There are "signs, five grueling months into the war, that the sense of unity is fraying at the edges" within the Ukrainian military, the paper pointed out in a report on Monday.

Some soldiers are unhappy that they have done "long, hard service," while many others managed to stay away from service, it said.

Fauci, Top Biden officials subpoenaed in lawsuit alleging they colluded with social media to suppress free speech

biden fauci
Top-ranking Biden administration officials — including Dr. Anthony Fauci — and five social media giants have 30 days to respond to subpoenas and discovery requests in a lawsuit alleging the government colluded with social media companies to suppress freedom of speech "under the guise of combatting misinformation."

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on Wednesday served third-party subpoenas on Twitter, Meta (Facebook's parent company), Youtube, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Schmitt and Landry on Tuesday filed discovery requests seeking documents and information from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Fauci, its director; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre; Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy; and former Disinformation Governance Board executive director Nina Jankowicz.

Survey: Student behavior among major reasons teachers are leaving their jobs

In a survey conducted by Chalkboard Review, it was revealed that a vast majority of midwestern teachers that are leaving their jobs are leaving because of pay, students' behavior or progressive politics in the classroom rather than reasons like Covid-19 or school shootings, amongst other reasons.

The survey issued three preliminary questions and four main questions, with 615 K-12 teachers in the midwestern states of Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio responding.

Of those that included salary as a main reason for leaving their position, 319 teachers listed student behavior as their biggest reason to resign from their position, followed by 138 who said progressive political activity, and 134 who said that salary is insufficient.

Comment: The interview

More from Chalkboard Review:
Of the responders with salary as an included primary reason, 319 of the 615 responders listed student behavior as their biggest reason to leave the classroom, followed by 138 for "progressive political activity" and 134 for "salary is insufficient".

When pay is listed as an ancillary reason in contribution to another factor, the numbers shift dramatically. 447 of 615 responders listed unchecked student behavior as their primary reason for leaving the classroom. 128 listed "progressive political activity", while only nine listed parental harassment.

Given this, it's beyond incredible that Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers and Becky Pringle of the National Education Association would cite Republicans' and parents' "politicization" of the classroom as the reason for the teacher shortage. It's not even a secondary or tertiary issue — it's forty-nine times less important to teachers than the behavioral crisis.

Furthermore, 356 of the 615 teachers reported that they were a member of a teachers union this previous year. It's not just non-union teachers that are reporting these issues.

I was surprised to see that only 21% of responders answered "yes" to returning to the classroom of the district if their complaints were reported to have been dealt with.

In this first survey, I conclude that it's reasonable (at the very least) to cast extreme doubt on union and education advocacy organizations claiming that pay and parental harassment are the primary issues for teachers leaving.

When salary is listed as a contributing factor, 93.35% of Midwestern teachers claim that their resignation is due to student behavior and progressive political activity required in their classrooms.

France threatens air-conditioned shops to keep doors shut under penalty of a fine

door france
© Loic VENANCE / AFPA notice announcing air-conditioning inside, as the air temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius in the centre of Nantes, western France, on July 13, 2022.
Leaving the doors open when the air conditioning is on leads to "20 percent more consumption and... it's absurd," French Minister of Ecological Transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher told RMC radio.


Comment: There will be few small and medium businesses that could afford to blithely leave their doors open when energy prices have, in some cases, tripled. The only businesses that would float this logic are the super stores, and it's unlikely the government, that is usually in bed with these businesses, is going to fine them, and, even if they did, the fine would mean little to their profits.


The minister said there were also plans to restrict the use of illuminated signs.

"In the coming days, I will issue two decrees: the first will widen the ban on illuminated advertising, whatever the size of the city, between 1am and 6am", with the exception of airports and stations, Pannier-Runacher told the
Journal du Dimanche newspaper.


Comment: The energy 'crisis' apparently doesn't extend to airport advertising?


Comment: The government is often to seeking to 'educate' the public these days. In the not so distant past - the old normal - reeducation was often used humorously to refer to draconian government rule.

The totalitarian diktats began in earnest with the contrived coronavirus crisis, and now the government seeks another avenue to exert control over the minutiae of our everyday lives under the guise of the 'energy crisis'; this ominous oversight also serves to acclimatize people into thinking this kind of behaviour from the government is justified.

Notably the British government said itself recently that they hope the soaring cost of energy will 'naturally' cause people to use less. There was no mention on how this means its most vulnerable will be the ones who will be freezing in their houses this winter. And this was apparently just one of their many ingenious solutions to the looming rolling blackouts, that will actually be a direct result of their proxy war on Russia.
