Zach Vorhies
In mid-September 2019, Maryam Henein published a video interview with Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies.1 The interview is broken into four parts, all of which have been included in a playlist further below.

In the featured video above, Vorhies and Maryam Henein, a journalist and functional medicine consultant, discuss Google's suppression of natural health information from holistic health sites such as Mercola.com with Sayer Ji, founder of Greenmedinfo.com — another victim of Google's censorship.

I also recently interviewed Vorhies for nearly two hours and will release that incredibly detailed video in the near future. In it, he discusses the tactics Google used to intimidate him into submission after they learned he had turned into a whistleblower.

Trans athlete Rachel McKinnon is a cheat and a bully

So why are we humoring him?

Rachel McKinnon — the so-called defending "world champion" of women's track cycling — is a man. I'll repeat that so my meaning cannot be misconstrued. He is a man.

Maybe my kind-hearted reader is offended by this blunt phrasing. Why am I calling McKinnon a man — when, perhaps for complicated reasons, he would rather be called a woman? Why don't I compromise and call him a "trans woman," as others do? Or be polite and address him by "she/her" pronouns, like everyone else in the media?

Woman found dead in house with 140 snakes seemingly strangled by python in Oxford, Indiana

Python
A 36-year-old woman in Oxford, Indiana, was recently found dead in a makeshift "snake sanctuary" that was home to 140 snakes. The victim, Laura Hurst, was found lifeless on the floor of the home with a reticulated python around her neck. It's a bizarre story from top to bottom, and it starts with the home's owner, who happens to be the local sheriff.

As the Journal & Courier reports, Benton County Sheriff Don Munson owns the home but doesn't actually live there. He's apparently a snake enthusiast and was (or perhaps still is) a snake breeder who sells the animals. Hurst is reported to have owned some of the snakes in the house, and Munson lives right next door.

Help Mother Nature: Don't drive electric cars, ignore paper bags & forget about organic food

Eco-consciousness has become a winning marketing strategy, but products sold as eco-friendly often aren't. From solar panels to paper straws, many of our supposed environmental saviors are making the problem worse.

The fight against climate change is poised to make a lot of people very, very rich. The world is expected to invest some $90 trillion in new infrastructure to stave off climate doom over the next ten to 15 years, according to a report from the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, and manufacturers of consumer products want a piece of the action, with study after study revealing customers will pay more for "sustainable" and earth-friendly products. A third of consumers buy based on a brand's environmental impact, according to Unilever, with a fifth explicitly favoring green messaging.

Not all products sold as sustainable, however, actually are. In fact, some are worse for the environment than the products they've replaced. But there is a reluctance to tear away from the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with doing good for the planet, even when the virtue one is signaling is wholly imaginary.

Comment: What a mixed bag of information. But the author(s) are right to point out the futileness and/or hypocrisy of most "green" purchases. The problems are real, but way more complicated than the tiny, feel-good suggestions being marketed to the average customer. One of the most practical ways to address all the problems above, if even a small way, is to buy from local farmers and small businesses.

New Epstein autopsy photo reveals broken neck bones

Epstein fractures
© lawandcrime.comNewly released photo shows three fractures in Epstein's neck.
A never-before-seen photo from Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy shows the late pedophile suffered three fractures to his neck — injuries a forensic pathologist hired by his family claims are more consistent with homicide than suicide.

Epstein, 66, had two breaks on each side of his thyroid cartilage, near the Adam's apple, and one above it on the left side of his hyoid bone, according to the image provided to Law&Crime Wednesday by Dr. Michael Baden.

"Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation," said Baden. "I've not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case."

In suicidal hangings, the binding "usually goes up under the mandible — the jaw bone — which is a tough bone. It doesn't fracture," Baden explained. "In manual strangulation, or ligature strangulation, fractures can occur."

Baden, the host of HBO's Autopsy, was hired by the pervert's brother, Mark Epstein, to observe his autopsy after he was found hanged Aug. 10 in his Manhattan lockup, while awaiting trial on child sex-trafficking charges.

Question

Gutsy Trevor Noah asks Hillary how she killed Jeffrey Epstein

A "vast right-wing conspiracy" still hounds Hillary Clinton, who was jokingly asked by The Daily Show host Trevor Noah how she managed to kill pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan jail cell.

"I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?" Noah asked, drawing laughter from Clinton, 71, and the New York studio audience on Thursday.

"Because you're not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president," he continued.

"Honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman to the right?" the host asked the former presidential candidate and ex-secretary of state.

"Well, it's a constant surprise to me," responded a chuckling Clinton, who was appearing alongside her daughter, Chelsea, 39, to promote their new joint project, The Book of Gutsy Women. "Because the things they say, and now, of course, it's on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous, beyond any imagination that I could have," she said.

"And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to get them so upset."

A car bomb detonated at a busy marketplace in the Syrian border town of Tal Abyad, the Turkish Defense Ministry said. There are dozens of casualties and injuries, Ankara claims.

The town is located right on the border and is part of a divided city, continuing into Turkey where the injured were taken to hospitals. A total of 20 people were wounded, while at least 13 were killed in the blast.
The Defense Ministry accused the Syrian-Kurdish militia group known as the People's Protection Units (YPG), of planting the bomb in the car. No group claimed responsibility for the blast at the time of writing.

Comment: Sputnik, 2/11/2019: Turkey says YPG behind the blast
The injured were taken to a hospital in the Turkish town of Akçakale. The Turkish armed forces have strengthened security on the border with Syria following the explosion. According to our correspondent, women and children are among the dead, and 23 people were injured. The explosion occurred in Suluk - a town within the Tell Abyad District of the Raqqa Governorate in Syria.

Animals are not people: Disentangling animal rights vs. animal welfare

ELEPHANTS
"Animal rights" activists are determined to "break the species barrier" and create legal standing for animals to sue in court. Of course, the animals would be oblivious to these actions. "Animal standing," as the issue is known, is really a Trojan horse to allow animal rights extremists to seek court rulings enforcing their own ideology.

The Nonhuman Rights Project is leading this charge. Having failed to win personhood for chimpanzees — alarmingly, the idea gained support from one high court judge — it is now pursuing a case in New York to determine whether "Happy," an elephant at the Bronx Zoo, should be granted a writ of habeas corpus. (Ponder the surreality of those words!) From The Guardian story:
Lawyers representing an elephant have argued in a New York City court that their trunked client be considered a person, in a fresh attempt to upend human dominance over this designation.

Happy the elephant is, contrary to her sunny name, being detained by the Bronx Zoo "illegally", due to her personhood, and must be released, according to the pachyderm's self-appointed legal team.

The case's instigator, an animal rights group, hopes it will cause a legal breakthrough that will elevate the status of elephants, which the group calls "extraordinarily complex creatures" similar to humans that should have the fundamental right to liberty.

Comment: Animals do not - and cannot - have rights. Groups like PETA are trying to piggyback a radical ideology on the very real and valid concern for animal welfare. But consider what they actually want. If animals have rights - like humans - then anyone who kills an animal for food could be charged with murder. Anyone who eats meat could be charged with the equivalent of cannibalism. Pet ownership and animal husbandry would be the equivalent of slavery, and calling someone a damn dirty dog would be hate speech. Training dogs to sniff out drugs and diseases would also be questionable: did the dogs choose to be trained in such professions?

The ideology is absurd and dangerous, but as with so many other facets of the hyper-liberal agenda, speaking out against it makes you an easy target, as if by denying animal rights you are arguing in favor of torturing animals and mistreating them in various ways. Just as countering far-left talking points can leave you vulnerable to accusations of sexism, racism, transphobia, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, etc.
