After working at Theranos Inc. for eight months, Tyler Shultz decided he had seen enough. On April 11, 2014, he emailed company founder Elizabeth Holmes to complain that Theranos had doctored research and ignored failed quality-control checks.

The reply was withering. Ms. Holmes forwarded the email to Theranos President Sunny Balwani, who belittled Mr. Shultz's grasp of basic mathematics and his knowledge of laboratory science, and then took a swipe at his relationship with George Shultz, the former Secretary of State and a Theranos director.

"The only reason I have taken so much time away from work to address this personally is because you are Mr. Shultz's grandson," wrote Mr. Balwani to his employee in an email, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Shultz quit the same day. As he was leaving Theranos's headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., he says he got a frantic cellphone call from his mother, who told him Ms. Holmes had just called the elder Mr. Shultz to warn that his grandson would "lose" if he launched a vendetta against the blood-testing startup.

Comment: It has been shown time and time again that whistleblowing results in no consequences for the company or institution involved but comes at a great cost to the whistleblowers themselves.

Butcher of Libya defeated: Libyan tribes happy Trump elected, attacks stopped immediately as jihadists mourned Hillary's loss

The Libyan tribes called yesterday to express their great happiness in the election Donald J. Trump to be the next President of the USA. They also wish to thank all the American people for standing up against corruption and evil. They, the people of Libya know first hand the evil that this woman is capable of by her war crimes and lies committed in 2011 to destroy their country. They have suffered for over 5 years with her "behind the scenes" support of the illegal occupation of their country by her radical Islamic mercenary proxy army, her support of the 4% of Libyans that are radical Islamic terrorists and their forcibly installed puppet governments.

The tribes of Libya have spies in every sector of Libya. They informed me that they knew there was to be an attack on their country this coming week-end (Nov 12th & 13th). The attack was to target oil fields and the Libyan National army now fighting the radical Islamic terrorists. They know that the attack was to be staged out of Qatar directed by Hillary Clinton.

They stated: "When Donald Trump won the election, all attacks ceased to exist, they have all stopped".

Interview with a French ISIS member: "We'll stop when France stops bombing the Middle East", beheading enemies of God is "a pleasure"

"I migrated to Syria one year ago, but now I am sad," Rachid Kassim, a 29-year-old French jihadist tells me, in his first-ever interview. "A lot of us are jealous of brothers who attack in dar ul-kufr," he said, using the Arabic term denoting non-Muslim lands. "We believe that even a small attack in dar ul-kufr is better than a big attack in Syria. As the door of hijrah [migration] closes, the door of jihad opens. If I stayed in dar ul-kufr, I would do an attack there."

Words like these from jihadists like Kassim have heightened the concerns of security agencies across Europe and North America. If supporters of the Islamic State are prohibited from traveling to join their ranks in Syria and Iraq, will they instead turn their gaze inward? Over the last several months, Kassim has been quite vocal on Telegram, a messaging application, which also allows individuals to create channels where they can broadcast their message to the masses. Telegram has increasingly become the platform of choice for jihadist movements, particularly after Twitter became more committed to shutting down pro-jihadist accounts.

Comment: These are the kind of guys Hillary and her type love. They loved them in Iraq. They loved them in Libya. and They love them in Syria. These are the kind of guys Putin, Assad and Nasrallah are fighting against in Syria. Anyway you look at it, the U.S. is responsible for this entire problem. Maybe now the U.S. can take some responsibility and actually be part of the solution instead of just perpetuating the problem? We'll have to wait and see.

Eight schoolchildren have been killed along with two adults in fresh attacks on educational and health facilities in government-held western Aleppo, government SANA news agency reports.

The pupils, aged 7 to 12, were killed when a rocket hit a basic education school in the al-Forqan neighborhood, a SANA reporter on the scene said. The attack also wounded 27 other children, including a girl whose leg had to be amputated, the report said.

In separate attacks, two people were killed and 32 injured in the al-Shahbaa neighborhood at the Faculty of Law, al-Basel Hospital for Cardiac Surgery, and Fawzi al-Jesri School, the agency added.

SANA called it a "terrorist" attack, without specifying which extremist group was responsible.

Flashback Multicultural Suicide

Fueling the Western paralysis in dealing with radical Islam is the late 20th century doctrine of multiculturalism.

Multiculturalism is one of those buzzwords that does not mean what it should. The ancient and generic Western study of many cultures is not multiculturalism. Rather, the trendy term promotes non-Western cultures to a status equal with or superior to Western culture largely to fulfill contemporary political agendas.

On college campuses, multiculturalism not so much manifests itself in the worthy interest in Chinese literature, Persian history, or hieroglyphics, but rather has become more a therapeutic exercise of exaggerating Western sins while ignoring non-Western pathologies to attract those who see themselves in some way as not part of the dominant culture.

Office Depot accused of running a tech support scam

Office Depot employees have been selling unnecessary tech repair services after telling customers that their laptops and computers were infected with malware, reporters from Seattle TV station KIRO 7 said this week after being tipped off by a former employee.

The whistleblower told KIRO 7 reporters that Office Depot employees were forced by internal procedures to run a PC diagnostics scan known as PC Health Check.

The procedure would, in most cases, return results that appeared to show a malware infection on the user's PC. Here, Office Depot employees would intervene with a sales pitch, offering to repair the computers, an operation that incurred additional charges of $180 or higher.

Employees had daily quotas for PC repair services

Store managers handed employees daily quotas of the number of PC Health Check scans they were supposed to run and kept track of how many PC repair services employees secured.

KIRO 7 reporters tested the whistleblower's claims by taking six out-of-the-box computers to Office Depot centers in both Washington and Oregon. Office Depot employees diagnosed four of the six laptops with a malware infection and offered the reporter to fix it for an extra charge.

To validate Office Depot's PC Health Check scan, reporters took the same laptops to IOActive, a Seattle-based security firm. IOActive's employees said that none of the laptops had any traces of malware.

The perversity of Western values: Celebrities cry over election results, but not over war victims

Victim of US-backed violence in Aleppo, Syria
Celebrities crying over election results shows their disconnect with the rest of the world, where millions are suffering from US-sponsored wars and destruction.

Watching videos of idiotic celebrities bitch, moan and cry over the fact that Crooked Hillary lost the election would be funny, if there weren't a tragic element about it. Donald Trump, who had the entire establishment and more rigged against him, still managed to pull off a sensational victory.

But for the professional losers called celebrities, this is not enough. They are crying, they are making threats, they are being hysterical, some are even encouraging hooliganism.

But where were their tears when Saddam was illegally removed from power and executed like an animal? Where were they when Crooked Hillary's Islamist terrorists waged a war against the government of Libya and murdered Gaddafi as he begged for mercy? Where were they when President Yanukovych was forced to run for his life from fascist mobs? Where are they now that President Assad is trying to destroy ISIS and Al Qaeda?

The loss by Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential elections, and the surprise win for Donald Trump, rather than exposing the Right's alleged underbelly of racism, bigotry, xenophobia and homophobia, has instead revealed something much more surprising, and potentially catastrophic for Western civilization as we know it: the cult of political correctness, obsession with identities, and a radical Left fringe that has ponerized inclusion and empathy to the point of authoritarianism. Whether it's on the domestic front of gender pronouns, safe spaces, and micro-aggressions, or on the foreign front of humanitarian intervention, human rights and the responsibility to protect, Western liberal values have lost all meaning.

On this edition of The Truth Perspective, we'll be discussing this trend, how it came about, and where it suggests we are headed.

Right-wing extremists behind vicious attack on Greek refugee camp

Migrant camp

A makeshift camp on the Greek island of Chios has been set ablaze in what was reportedly as an attack by far-right extremists who pelted refugees with 15 kilogram-rocks and petrol bombs, setting tents on fire. Police used tear gas and stormed the camp.

Authorities and volunteers, as well as the refugees themselves, give different accounts of the events leading to Thursday night's clashes. According to police, the migrants looted two local shops, stealing alcohol and fireworks that they then set off at the camp. They also purportedly threw rocks at a police unit located nearby, to which police retaliated with tear gas, while making multiple arrests.

However, eyewitnesses say that some 60 members of the far-right neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party hurled boulders at the migrants, as well as Molotov cocktails that set their makeshift tents ablaze, while at the same time blocking the exits to prevent the refugees from leaving.

Several migrants, including a woman pregnant with twins, were hospitalized in the aftermath of the attack. Gabrielle Tan, an aid worker with Action from Switzerland, wrote on Facebook, adding that the woman lost both of her unborn children on Friday morning due to the stress she had endured.

Pointless Trump inauguration day protests planned

Protesting Trump's inauguration misses the point. America's establishment is bipartisan, democracy pure fantasy.

Deep state duopoly power runs things - one-party state governance with two right wings, independents entirely shut out. Mainstream media are press agents for wealth, power and privilege exclusively.

Election-rigging made Trump president. Power brokers decided Hillary was too scandal-ridden to serve effectively. Her deplorable public record defeated her.

Will Trump continue dirty business as usual or go his own way?

Likely more of the former, less of the latter - with at least three reasons to be relieved he won.
