newswars--2020-01-29--Medical Experts Slam FDA’s Cozy Relationship With Big Pharma

Anyone who has paid the least bit of attention to the doings of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) in recent decades knows that accusations of “ regulatory dereliction and corporate capture ” are no exaggeration .
In fact , where regulation and approval of drugs and biologics are concerned , the mainstream media—including outlets such as Reuters , Slate , The New Republic and PBS—are rife with stories of FDA misconduct .
The latest FDA critique comes not from the popular press , however , but from three high-powered experts affiliated with Harvard Medical School—who air @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Medical Association ( JAMA ) .
With combined degrees in medicine , law , business and public health , the trio examines trends at the FDA since 1983 , reviewing evolving regulatory standards and drug approval processes over a nearly four-decade period .
The review reveals a troubling shift toward FDA use of “ less data ” to approve drugs and biologics—alongside an escalating reliance on pharmaceutical industry payments to cover the salaries of the very FDA reviewers issuing the approvals .
Watch Mike Adams ’ latest report where he shares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies must complete three phases of clinical trials on new drugs or biologics ( including vaccines ) before the companies can submit an application to the FDA for approval .
However , both companies and patients have often pushed for a faster FDA turnaround— “ seen as a means of getting drugs to patients more quickly as well as allowing pharmaceutical companies to realize sales revenues sooner.
” As outlined by the Harvard authors , five “ special programs ” introduced from 1992 on allow pharmaceutical companies to dispense with some of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clinical trials ) under some circumstances .
The five programs—ushered in through legislation such as the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act ( PDUFA ) and the 2012 Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act ( FDASIA ) —include the Orphan Drug Act ( 1983 ) ; the Fast Track program ( 1987 ) ; Accelerated Approval ( 1992 ) ; Priority Review ( 1992 ) ; and Breakthrough Therapy ( 2012 ) .
All five seek to speed up drug development and “ reduce evidentiary requirements ” for drug approval .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ substantially changed drug approval at the FDA , ” according to the Harvard authors , who report that in 2018 , four out of five drugs ( 81 % ) benefited from one or more forms of expedited approval .
As one example , the proportion of drugs approved via the 1983 Orphan Drug Act ( ODA ) more than doubled , going from 18 % in the decade after the Act ’ s passage ( 1984-1995 ) to 41 % ( 2008-2018 ) .
The original premise underlying the ODA ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an “ orphan drug ” ( a drug for a rare disease ) might—in the FDA ’ s words— “ reasonably expect the drug to generate relatively small sales in comparison to the cost of developing the drug and consequently to incur a financial loss.
” However , a 2017 analysis reported that orphan drug status now confers significant market advantages : “ Due to lower [ research and development ] costs .
.
.
, expedited regulatory reviews , and minimal competition .
.
.
, rare-disease-targeting orphan drugs are now amongst @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the market in the world.
” Up until 2010 , children ’ s hospitals could obtain orphan drugs at a congressionally mandated discounted rate ( 30 % to 50 % ) , but after the Affordable Care Act eliminated the discounts , hospital officials began complaining about a jeopardized “ ability to care for some of the sickest children with the most complex health care needs.
” Another outcome of the changing regulatory environment , conclude the JAMA authors , is that the FDA increasingly issues its approvals on the basis of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approvals in the mid-1990s ( 1995-1997 ) —versus only about half ( 53 % ) of new approvals in 2015-2017—benefited from at least two “ pivotal ” clinical trials .
As “ regulatory standards and approval come to rely on less substantial evidence , ” say the authors , “ the benefits of earlier access [ to drugs ] must be weighed against the possibility that patients will be exposed to drugs with benefit-risk profiles that may turn out to be less favorable than expected or for which clinical benefit is never confirmed.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ companies to substitute surrogate measures for clinically meaningful endpoints in clinical trials , a replacement enabled by the 1992 Accelerated Approval program .
( A “ surrogate ” measure or marker is a lab measurement or physical sign expected—but not proven—to predict the effect of the drug or biologic . )
Nearly three out of five pivotal efficacy trials ( 59 % ) for new drug approvals relied on surrogate measures in the most recent time period ( 2015-2017 ) , versus 44 % in 2005-2012 .
In 2004—a dozen years after surrogate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admitted that no surrogate markers had ever been validated ( “ that is , shown to predict the effect of the treatment on the clinical outcome of interest ” ) , adding that “ there are a number of difficulties in interpreting trials that use surrogate markers as primary measures of drug effect.
” As the JAMA authors put it , “ a surrogate measure that does not predict actual patient benefit may accelerate approval of a drug that presents risk but could be of little clinical use.
” The PDUFA legislation passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ light to make payments to the FDA ( called “ user fees ” ) in exchange for expedited approval of drugs and biologics .
For the FDA , user fees have turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving .
In 2018 alone , according to the Harvard trio , user fees covered “ 80 % of the salaries of review personnel responsible for the approval of new drugs.
” From 2013-2017 , user fees amounted to $ 4.1 billion , up from $ 330 million over the period from 1993-1997 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ By way of comparison , the user fee amount that flowed in from industry from 2013-2017 ( five years ) is roughly the same as the total compensation ( $ 4.2 billion ) slowly and begrudgingly awarded by the taxpayer-funded National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program since 1988 ( 32 years ) .
In an editorial accompanying the JAMA review , a former FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner wrote that “ The overall picture is not of a struggling FDA , but rather of a regulatory process that has evolved over time into a thicket @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and generous incentives.
” Others who commented on the JAMA findings alluded to the potential for user fees to introduce conflicts of interest into the FDA ’ s regulatory process—but stopped short of issuing any accusations .
Dr. Steven Joffe of the University of Pennsylvania stated : “ There is certainly a potential for conflict in the [ FDA ’ s ] decision-making between the interests of the regulated industry and the interests of the public ’ s health , and so it would be better if the bulk of the agency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , taxpayers—whose interests it is charged with protecting .
However , I do not mean to imply that the agency ’ s decision-making has in fact been compromised by this arrangement.
” Dr. Sidney Wolfe , director of Public Citizen ’ s Health Research Group , was more blunt when interviewed by PBS ’ s Frontline about the pharmaceutical industry ’ s “ inroads into the FDA.
” Dr. Wolfe noted that when drug companies started “ paying cash right up front , for FDA review , ” the FDA “ started looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instead of the public and the public health , which should be the client.
” Referring , in addition , to the FDA ’ s aversion to controversy—and an appalling lack of congressional oversight—Wolfe suggested that the FDA ’ s watchwords have become : “ Please the industry .
Avoid conflict .
Look upon our role as getting out as many drugs as possible.
” In 2000 , Wolfe commented on the withdrawal from the market of drugs that had received expedited FDA review—including widely used allergy and diabetes drugs—stating that “ [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is being abused.
” In 2016 , the author of an article in the Journal of Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics agreed that there is a firm basis for this conclusion , pointing to the fact that 57 % of “ fast-track molecules received a black box warning ” from 2011-2015 and furnishing a lengthy table of significant adverse event alerts issued for products with fast-track designations .
From 1998 to 2018 , states the JAMA review , the FDA approved 42 new vaccines , which fall under the even less stringent category of biologics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expedited approval , including Merck ’ s disastrous Gardasil vaccine—fast-tracked in six months in 2006 .
In 2014 , the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation and then quickly approved Pfizer ’ s meningococcal group B ( MenB ) vaccine , a vaccine now widely administered to college students despite “ limited quantifiable safety data.
” In the context of hype about potential pandemics , vaccine scientists continue to push for more fast-track approvals .
Others argue that biologics need longer review times , speculating that “ [ e ] xpedited approval may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one.
” As the most vaccinated generation of American children ever has developed historically unprecedented levels of chronic illness , the FDA continues to bestow its regulatory largesse on drugs designed to profitably manage these chronic conditions , including drugs for vaccine-linked conditions such as atopic dermatitis and asthma .
In 2018 , for example , the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation to the Genentech and Novartis biologic omalizumab ( marketed as Xolair ) —already approved for young people ages 12 and up for severe asthma ( 2003 ) and chronic hives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s indications to life-threatening food allergies .
This , despite prior safety review warnings that prompted the FDA , in 2014 , to approve label changes to describe Xolair ’ s “ slightly higher risk of heart and brain adverse events.
” The FDA also noted at that time that it could not rule out a potential risk of cancer .
In 2016 , Genentech paid user fees to the FDA when it submitted a request to extend Xolair ’ s target population to 6- to 11-year-olds .
The fact that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last place on the FDA ’ s priority list is , in some respects , unsurprising , particularly to those who have followed the agency ’ s behavior with regard to vaccine approvals and regulation ( see list of further reading below ) .
Other recent reports paint an equally unflattering picture of the FDA and its dereliction of duty .
For example , a 2015 discussion in Slate described the agency ’ s shocking “ pattern of burying the details of [ scientific ] misconduct ” and mused , “ For an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bogus medical science , the FDA seems to be spending an awful lot of effort protecting the perpetrators of bogus science from the public.
” Reuters was no less scathing when it published a special report in December 2019 about the FDA ’ s half-century-long efforts to minimize the dangers of asbestos in talc-based baby powders and cosmetics ; Reuters concluded , “ Again and again since at least the 1970s , the agency has downplayed the risk of asbestos contamination and declined to issue warnings or impose safety standards.
” In 2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another aspect of the FDA ’ s and U.S. government ’ s close relationship with the pharmaceutical industry , pointing to the government ’ s central role in drug development and the boondoggle that this represents for taxpayers .
According to TNR : A 2020 letter in JAMA Internal Medicine calls attention to the fact that when the FDA allows drugs or medical products to proceed to market without thorough premarketing clinical studies , postmarketing studies become “ the principal way [ that ] adverse events and risks become apparent.
” Yet here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ short , they state , with a high rate of misclassification of adverse events , including deaths .
The letter-writers also refer to recent news reports “ that the FDA allowed [ medical ] device manufacturers to file reports of malfunctions in a hidden database.
” What is the result of this type of nontransparent behavior ?
At a minimum , the JAMA Internal Medicine writers warn , public and physician perceptions of safety will be “ inaccurate ” —increasing the odds of adverse events befalling an unsuspecting public .

Anyone who has paid the least bit of attention to the doings of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in recent decades knows that accusations of “regulatory dereliction and corporate capture” are no exaggeration.
In fact, where regulation and approval of drugs and biologics are concerned, the mainstream media—including outlets such as Reuters, Slate, The New Republic and PBS—are rife with stories of FDA misconduct.
The latest FDA critique comes not from the popular press, however, but from three high-powered experts affiliated with Harvard Medical School—who air their appraisal in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
With combined degrees in medicine, law, business and public health, the trio examines trends at the FDA since 1983, reviewing evolving regulatory standards and drug approval processes over a nearly four-decade period.
The review reveals a troubling shift toward FDA use of “less data” to approve drugs and biologics—alongside an escalating reliance on pharmaceutical industry payments to cover the salaries of the very FDA reviewers issuing the approvals.
Watch Mike Adams’ latest report where he shares his expert insight.
“Special programs” = special shortcuts
Ordinarily, drug companies must complete three phases of clinical trials on new drugs or biologics (including vaccines) before the companies can submit an application to the FDA for approval. However, both companies and patients have often pushed for a faster FDA turnaround—“seen as a means of getting drugs to patients more quickly as well as allowing pharmaceutical companies to realize sales revenues sooner.”
As outlined by the Harvard authors, five “special programs” introduced from 1992 on allow pharmaceutical companies to dispense with some of the customary requirements (such as phase 3 clinical trials) under some circumstances. The five programs—ushered in through legislation such as the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) and the 2012 Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA)—include the Orphan Drug Act (1983); the Fast Track program (1987); Accelerated Approval (1992); Priority Review (1992); and Breakthrough Therapy (2012). All five seek to speed up drug development and “reduce evidentiary requirements” for drug approval.
These legislative and regulatory initiatives have “substantially changed drug approval at the FDA,” according to the Harvard authors, who report that in 2018, four out of five drugs (81%) benefited from one or more forms of expedited approval. As one example, the proportion of drugs approved via the 1983 Orphan Drug Act (ODA) more than doubled, going from 18% in the decade after the Act’s passage (1984-1995) to 41% (2008-2018). The original premise underlying the ODA’s passage was that a pharmaceutical company developing an “orphan drug” (a drug for a rare disease) might—in the FDA’s words—“reasonably expect the drug to generate relatively small sales in comparison to the cost of developing the drug and consequently to incur a financial loss.”
However, a 2017 analysis reported that orphan drug status now confers significant market advantages: “Due to lower [research and development] costs . . . , expedited regulatory reviews, and minimal competition . . . , rare-disease-targeting orphan drugs are now amongst the most expensive and profitable drugs on the market in the world.” Up until 2010, children’s hospitals could obtain orphan drugs at a congressionally mandated discounted rate (30% to 50%), but after the Affordable Care Act eliminated the discounts, hospital officials began complaining about a jeopardized “ability to care for some of the sickest children with the most complex health care needs.”
Another outcome of the changing regulatory environment, conclude the JAMA authors, is that the FDA increasingly issues its approvals on the basis of “less data.” Eighty-one percent of new approvals in the mid-1990s (1995-1997)—versus only about half (53%) of new approvals in 2015-2017—benefited from at least two “pivotal” clinical trials. As “regulatory standards and approval come to rely on less substantial evidence,” say the authors, “the benefits of earlier access [to drugs] must be weighed against the possibility that patients will be exposed to drugs with benefit-risk profiles that may turn out to be less favorable than expected or for which clinical benefit is never confirmed.”
The FDA also increasingly allows drug companies to substitute surrogate measures for clinically meaningful endpoints in clinical trials, a replacement enabled by the 1992 Accelerated Approval program. (A “surrogate” measure or marker is a lab measurement or physical sign expected—but not proven—to predict the effect of the drug or biologic.) Nearly three out of five pivotal efficacy trials (59%) for new drug approvals relied on surrogate measures in the most recent time period (2015-2017), versus 44% in 2005-2012. In 2004—a dozen years after surrogate measures came into widespread use—an FDA official admitted that no surrogate markers had ever been validated (“that is, shown to predict the effect of the treatment on the clinical outcome of interest”), adding that “there are a number of difficulties in interpreting trials that use surrogate markers as primary measures of drug effect.” As the JAMA authors put it, “a surrogate measure that does not predict actual patient benefit may accelerate approval of a drug that presents risk but could be of little clinical use.”
User fees = conflicts of interest
The PDUFA legislation passed in 1992 gave pharmaceutical companies the green light to make payments to the FDA (called “user fees”) in exchange for expedited approval of drugs and biologics. For the FDA, user fees have turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving. In 2018 alone, according to the Harvard trio, user fees covered “80% of the salaries of review personnel responsible for the approval of new drugs.” From 2013-2017, user fees amounted to $4.1 billion, up from $330 million over the period from 1993-1997 (an 1142% increase). By way of comparison, the user fee amount that flowed in from industry from 2013-2017 (five years) is roughly the same as the total compensation ($4.2 billion) slowly and begrudgingly awarded by the taxpayer-funded National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program since 1988 (32 years).
In an editorial accompanying the JAMA review, a former FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner wrote that “The overall picture is not of a struggling FDA, but rather of a regulatory process that has evolved over time into a thicket of special programs, flexible review criteria, and generous incentives.” Others who commented on the JAMA findings alluded to the potential for user fees to introduce conflicts of interest into the FDA’s regulatory process—but stopped short of issuing any accusations. Dr. Steven Joffe of the University of Pennsylvania stated:
“There is certainly a potential for conflict in the [FDA’s] decision-making between the interests of the regulated industry and the interests of the public’s health, and so it would be better if the bulk of the agency’s budget came from the public—i.e., taxpayers—whose interests it is charged with protecting. However, I do not mean to imply that the agency’s decision-making has in fact been compromised by this arrangement.”
Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen’s Health Research Group, was more blunt when interviewed by PBS’s Frontline about the pharmaceutical industry’s “inroads into the FDA.” Dr. Wolfe noted that when drug companies started “paying cash right up front, for FDA review,” the FDA “started looking upon the industry as their client, instead of the public and the public health, which should be the client.” Referring, in addition, to the FDA’s aversion to controversy—and an appalling lack of congressional oversight—Wolfe suggested that the FDA’s watchwords have become: “Please the industry.

Implications for children and adolescents
From 1998 to 2018, states the JAMA review, the FDA approved 42 new vaccines, which fall under the even less stringent category of biologics. A number of these vaccines received expedited approval, including Merck’s disastrous Gardasil vaccine—fast-tracked in six months in 2006. In 2014, the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation and then quickly approved Pfizer’s meningococcal group B (MenB) vaccine, a vaccine now widely administered to college students despite “limited quantifiable safety data.” In the context of hype about potential pandemics, vaccine scientists continue to push for more fast-track approvals. Others argue that biologics need longer review times, speculating that “[e]xpedited approval may cure an autoimmune disorder and incite another one.”
As the most vaccinated generation of American children ever has developed historically unprecedented levels of chronic illness, the FDA continues to bestow its regulatory largesse on drugs designed to profitably manage these chronic conditions, including drugs for vaccine-linked conditions such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. In 2018, for example, the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation to the Genentech and Novartis biologic omalizumab (marketed as Xolair)—already approved for young people ages 12 and up for severe asthma (2003) and chronic hives (2014)—to extend the drug’s indications to life-threatening food allergies. This, despite prior safety review warnings that prompted the FDA, in 2014, to approve label changes to describe Xolair’s “slightly higher risk of heart and brain adverse events.” The FDA also noted at that time that it could not rule out a potential risk of cancer. In 2016, Genentech paid user fees to the FDA when it submitted a request to extend Xolair’s target population to 6- to 11-year-olds.
Putting the public last
The fact that the public’s health seems to occupy last place on the FDA’s priority list is, in some respects, unsurprising, particularly to those who have followed the agency’s behavior with regard to vaccine approvals and regulation (see list of further reading below). Other recent reports paint an equally unflattering picture of the FDA and its dereliction of duty. For example, a 2015 discussion in Slate described the agency’s shocking “pattern of burying the details of [scientific] misconduct” and mused, “For an agency devoted to protecting the public from bogus medical science, the FDA seems to be spending an awful lot of effort protecting the perpetrators of bogus science from the public.” Reuters was no less scathing when it published a special report in December 2019 about the FDA’s half-century-long efforts to minimize the dangers of asbestos in talc-based baby powders and cosmetics; Reuters concluded, “Again and again since at least the 1970s, the agency has downplayed the risk of asbestos contamination and declined to issue warnings or impose safety standards.”
In 2018, The New Republic shed light on another aspect of the FDA’s and U.S. government’s close relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, pointing to the government’s central role in drug development and the boondoggle that this represents for taxpayers. According to TNR:
Of the 210 medicines approved for market by the FDA between 2010 and 2016, every one originated in research conducted in government laboratories or in university labs funded in large part by the National Institutes of Health [emphasis added]. Since 1938, the government has spent more than $1 trillion on biomedical research, and at least since the 1980s, a growing proportion of the primary beneficiaries have been industry executives and major shareholders. Between 2006 and 2015, these two groups received 99 percent of the profits, totaling more than $500 billion, generated by 18 of the largest drug companies. This is not a “business” functioning in some imaginary free market. It’s a system built by and for Wall Street, resting on a foundation of $33 billion in annual taxpayer-funded research.
A 2020 letter in JAMA Internal Medicine calls attention to the fact that when the FDA allows drugs or medical products to proceed to market without thorough premarketing clinical studies, postmarketing studies become “the principal way [that] adverse events and risks become apparent.” Yet here, too, the FDA is falling short, they state, with a high rate of misclassification of adverse events, including deaths. The letter-writers also refer to recent news reports “that the FDA allowed [medical] device manufacturers to file reports of malfunctions in a hidden database.” What is the result of this type of nontransparent behavior? At a minimum, the JAMA Internal Medicine writers warn, public and physician perceptions of safety will be “inaccurate”—increasing the odds of adverse events befalling an unsuspecting public.

According to the report, projected deficits will rise from 4.6% of GDP in 2020 to 5.4% in 2030. To put that into perspective, the CBO tells us:
Other than a six-year period during and immediately after World War II, the deficit over the past century has not exceeded 4.0% for more than five consecutive years. And during the past 50 years, deficits have averaged 1.5% of GDP when the economy was relatively strong (as it is now).”

Joe Biden has gone viral yet again for putting his hands on a voter in Iowa.
To put that into perspective, last February, the national debt topped $22 trillion. When President Trump took office in January 2017, the debt was at $19.95 trillion. That represented a $2.06 trillion increase in the debt in just over two years. The borrowing pace continues to accelerate. The Treasury borrowed $800 billion through just two months late last summer.

Uncle Sam will run a massive budget deficit this year despite relatively healthy economic growth, at least according to CBO projections. The report predicts 2.2% GDP growth for the fiscal year, primarily due to strong consumer spending.
CBO projections tend toward the conservative side and assume no changes in current spending and tax law. The 2020 deficit projection represents an $8 billion increase from the CBO’s August estimates.
There are some signs that consumers may be close to being tapped out. Americans have sustained the bubble economy by spending money they don’t have. Consumer debt has set new records month after month. But the rise in debt has slowed in recent months and could signal that American consumers are getting close to their credit card limits.
In other words, the CBO may well be overestimating the potential for economic growth.
Regardless, these are the kind of budget deficits one would expect to see during a major economic downturn. The deficit peaked in 2009 at $1.4 trillion as the government enacted emergency measures to cope with the 2008 financial crisis. Uncle Sam is approaching these deficit levels despite having what Trump keeps calling “the greatest economy in the history of America.”
Generally, during economic expansions, government spending on social programs shrinks and tax revenues climb with increased economic activity. Revenues have increased over the last year, even with the Republican tax cuts, but they haven’t kept pace with the increase in government spending.
Through the first three months of the current fiscal year, the deficit ballooned to $356.6 billion. That was an 11.8% increase from a year ago. In just three months, Uncle Sam blew through $1.16 trillion. Spending through the first three months of FY2020 is up 6.5% over the spending through the first three months of fiscal 2019. According to the CBO, federal outlays are projected to rise from $4.6 trillion in 2020 to $7.5 trillion in 2030.
The CBO report says the projected increase in debt poses “significant risks to the fiscal and economic outlook, although those risks are not currently apparent in financial markets.” It says the growing deficits could affect the economy in two significant ways.
That growing debt would dampen economic output over time, and
Rising interest costs associated with that debt would increase interest payments to foreign debt holders and thus reduce the income of US households by increasing amounts.
The reality is America’s fiscal condition is circling the drain. The bottom line is that the spending trajectory is unsustainable. If the US government is running $1 trillion deficits now, what will the country’s financial situation look like when the next recession hits?

Facebook is now so censorship happy that it is blocking links to Jordan Peterson videos sent between two people via private message .
A screenshot posted to The Donald Reddit forum titled “ THE DYSTOPIA IS NOW .
Facebook censored a PRIVATE MESSAGE I sent because it has a link to Jordan Peterson ’ s Bible Lecture Series ” illustrates the ridiculous new standard .
When the user attempted to send a link to Peterson ’ s video to his friend , the URL was blocked and replaced with the text , “ This message was removed because it includes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Standards.
” Facebook appears to have a clear bias against biblical discussion .
As we previously highlighted , the company banned a peace-loving quote by St. Augustine of Hippo , a Catholic theologian and philosopher , saying it was “ hate speech ” .
In addition to blocking links that contain thought crimes , when Facebook suspends a user , it also prevents them entirely from using its messenger function .
For many people , Facebook messenger is their only means of communication with friends and loved ones , meaning that if an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was suspended , it could actually result in real world harm .
Given that the social media giant openly incited violence against people it deemed “ dangerous individuals ” ( including yours truly ) , it ’ s unsurprising that they would put people deemed to be thought criminals at risk .

newswars--2020-01-30--Tennessee State Rep. Files Bill To Officially Designate CNN As FAKE NEWS

In a move that is sure to please President Trump , a State Representative in Tennessee has introduced legislation that would officially designate CNN , as well as The Washington Post , as fake news .
Republican Rep. Micah Van Huss filed the bill Wednesday , with the summary describing it as “ A RESOLUTION to recognize CNN and The Washington Post as fake news and condemn them for denigrating our citizens.
” Taking to social media , Van Huss , a former Marine who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan , declared “ I ’ ve filed HJR 779 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s tired of fake news and Republicans who don ’ t fight.
” The legislation insists that The Washington Post and CNN have drawn a “ line between Trump opponents and Trump supporters ” by describing Trump voters as “ cultists.

” Infowars reported on the segment , aired last November on CNN , where Brian Stelter brought on ‘ cult expert ’ , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ titled The Cult of Trump .
The pair urged viewers that the President is a ‘ pathological liar ’ , and displays ‘ the characteristics of destructive cult leader ’ .
They further suggested that ‘ mind controlled ’ Trump supporters need to be ‘ deprogrammed ’ and broken out of their ‘ bubbles ’ .
“ WHEREAS , it is fascinating to see this latest ‘ cult-of-Trump ’ meme coming from the left , because they are the true masters of deploying mobs to demand total conformity and compliance with their agenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can see the cult-of-Trump meme as a classic case of psychological projection ; after all , accusing someone ’ s perceived opponent of exactly what one intends to do is a very old tactic ; and WHEREAS , the mainstream media is in a panic because President Trump has opened the eyes of many average Americans who are tired of politics as usual.
” The crux of the legislation argues that all of this “ oversimplifies the way people think and feel about their own beliefs and those on the other side of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ therefore the media outlets pushing this agenda should be recognised as “ fake news and part of the media wing of the Democratic Party.
” “ BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that we condemn them for denigrating our citizens and implying that they are weak-minded followers instead of people exercising their rights that our veterans paid for with their blood , ” the bill asserts .

newswars--2020-01-30--How Viral Pandemic Benefits The Globalist Agenda

The world today suffers from highly fragile economic and geopolitical conditions .
This is not news to most people in the liberty movement that have been tracking the downward spiral for years , but it is news to a majority of average Americans who rarely venture to get in-depth information on any issue .
The fact of the matter is , even though there are millions of us who are aware of the danger , we are still in a minority .
This creates a serious set of frustrations .
When the common citizen is oblivious to the existence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them the source of that threat becomes a waste of time .
How can they see the root of the problem if they don ’ t even know the problem is there ?
Yes , the world is on the verge of a violent sea-change , but this is not the most important issue .
The most important issue is that this precarious situation is not the product of random chance , simple greed , base human frailty or an “ overly complex ” system as mainstream experts will predictably claim ; it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to serve the interests of a select few .
A nurse in New York called in to The Alex Jones Show to report that she believes she has been dealing with the coronavirus in The Big Apple and how they have trained for that very scenario .
The globalist agenda is complicated in design but simple in its goals : Order out of chaos .
Create or exploit every crisis to manipulate the public into consenting .
But consent for what ?
As Richard N. Gardner , former deputy assistant Secretary of State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a member of the Trilateral Commission , wrote in the April , 1974 issue of the Council on Foreign Relation ’ s ( CFR ) journal Foreign Affairs ( pg .
558 ) in an article titled ‘ The Hard Road To World Order ’ : Global pandemic , whether a natural event or deliberately engineered , actually serves the purposes of the globalist establishment in a number of ways .
First and foremost , it is a superb distraction .
The general public , overcome with fears of an invisible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them at any moment , will probably forget all about the much bigger threat to their life , liberty and future – the subsequent collapse of the massive ‘ Everything Bubble ’ and the globalist “ solution ” that a pandemic can trigger .
The coronavirus is only a moderate threat in comparison to economic crisis .
That said , I want to confront a few issues concerning the virus itself before we get to the economic question .
I have seen a lot of delusional assumptions and outright disinformation being spread by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
First , the notion that it was caused by Chinese citizens “ eating bats ” or being exposed to a live animal market is rather ridiculous .
We ’ ve seen NO hard evidence whatsoever that this is true , and I believe the narrative is a cover for the fact that the city of Wuhan where the virus outbreak began is the home of not one but TWO level 4 biohazard labs .
I have a hard time ignoring the strange “ coincidence ” of the high level biohazard labs in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus was launched by chance due to the odd diets of central Chinese people .
Given the evidence it appears that the coronavirus was gestated in a lab , not in someone ’ s bat and snake soup .
In 2017 , scientists outside of China warned that these labs were not secure and that a virus might escape one of the facilities .
I would use the term “ escape ” loosely , as there is a possibility that this event was created intentionally .
The virus itself has certain hallmarks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dormant period without visible symptoms ) and the current strain is probably derived from the one the Chinese stole a year ago from a lab in Winnipeg , Canada .
But it gets even weirder .
Only three months ago , John Hopkins , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum ( a hive of self-professed globalists ) ran a “ pandemic simulation ” called “ Event 201 ” specifically focused on Coronavirus .
Not Ebola , or Swine Flu or even Avian Flu – but CORONAVIRUS .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ South America , blamed on animal to human transmission ( pigs ) .
The conclusion of the exercise was that national governments were nowhere near ready , scoring 40 out of 100 on their preparedness scale .
The simulation projected over 65 million deaths worldwide .
Event 201 played out almost exactly as it has been in China today .
Some very disingenuous or perhaps rather stupid people have been arguing that this kind of thing is “ normal ” , claiming that we are “ lucky ” that the elites have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ save us ” from a coronavirus outbreak .
I assert that Event 201 was not a simulation but a war-game to study the possible outcomes of an event the globalists already knew was coming .
Set aside the fact that before almost every major crisis event and terrorist attack for the past few decades authorities were running simulations for that exact event right before it happened ; does anyone really believe that Event 201 is pure coincidence ?
Another false assumption that needs to be addressed is the idea that a viral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or at least , not the US .
This odd bias is one that I don ’ t think most cultures except Americans suffer from ; the belief that they are untouchable and that the system will always avert crisis .
From the responses I have been seeing lately many Americans are living in a fantasy world .
Even now , the investment world is placing full stock and hope in the prediction that the Federal Reserve will step in to disrupt any economic downturn related to the pandemic .
Even if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone be naive enough to believe the central bank can do anything about how a viral outbreak damages the economy ?
Central banks can do nothing but create debt , and debt will not beat back the coronavirus .
In terms of delusional optimism on the pandemic itself , the arguments range from “ screening of travelers is too comprehensive to allow the virus to spread here ” and “ as long as the virus destroys China , who cares… ?
” This is a narrow view of the situation .
The screening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basic questions which can be evaded with lies .
But beyond that , the virus is already here .
It was circulating through China for at least a few weeks before it was ever addressed by government authorities or the CDC .
It also is reported to be asymptomatic , which means it remains dormant , yet also contagious , for up to two weeks before symptoms become visible .
This is a far worse scenario than the ebola scare in 2014 , in that the coronavirus is able to hide effectively .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to slow the spread is to shut down ALL international travel , which the CDC and the WHO have no intention of doing right now , not that it matters anymore with over 110 suspected cases in the US already .
So , let ’ s be realistic .
If the virus is as communicable as the CDC and independent scientists claim , then we will see the effects here in America .
Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste… But what do globalists have to gain directly from a coronavirus pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Interestingly , a representative from Johnson and Johnson , one of the companies that may end up designing a “ vaccine ” for the Cronavirus , suggested during Event 201 that a “ centralized ” global economic authority in charge of funding and procuring vaccines for various nations in crisis was an option for solving the pandemic .
Gee , that sounds strangely similar to what globalists have been demanding for many years now , and the pandemic just happens to offer a perfect excuse for the creation of such a one-world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a system would be temporary according to the life of the pandemic , but this will be a lie .
In terms of the economic effects , even if the virus were to stay primarily in China , the Chinese economy is , in basic terms , the largest in the world ; it is the biggest exporter/importer and it is central to the now interdependent global economy .
If China ’ s economy goes down , even for a short time , this will send shockwaves through all other national economies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last year I published an article titled ‘ Globalists Only Need One More Major Event To Finish Sabotaging The Economy ’ .
To summarize the situation : The globalist establishment has created the largest financial bubble in modern history through central bank stimulus , inflating a highly unstable artificial rally in markets while also creating new highs in national debt , corporate debt and consumer debt .
The economic fundamentals have been sending alarms for the past two years , and the ‘ Everything Bubble ’ is showing signs of implosion .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the farce collapses by itself .
The globalists need scapegoats , but they also need an event or wave of events so distracting that people will not be able to discern what really happened .
The reason why globalists want a collapse is simple – They need crisis in order to manipulate the masses into accepting total centralization , a global monetary system and global governance .

The world today suffers from highly fragile economic and geopolitical conditions.
This is not news to most people in the liberty movement that have been tracking the downward spiral for years, but it is news to a majority of average Americans who rarely venture to get in-depth information on any issue. The fact of the matter is, even though there are millions of us who are aware of the danger, we are still in a minority.
This creates a serious set of frustrations. When the common citizen is oblivious to the existence of a threat, trying to explain to them the source of that threat becomes a waste of time. How can they see the root of the problem if they don’t even know the problem is there?
Yes, the world is on the verge of a violent sea-change, but this is not the most important issue. The most important issue is that this precarious situation is not the product of random chance, simple greed, base human frailty or an “overly complex” system as mainstream experts will predictably claim; it is a deliberately engineered chaos box designed to serve the interests of a select few.
A nurse in New York called in to The Alex Jones Show to report that she believes she has been dealing with the coronavirus in The Big Apple and how they have trained for that very scenario.
The globalist agenda is complicated in design but simple in its goals: Order out of chaos. Create or exploit every crisis to manipulate the public into consenting. But consent for what?
As Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations under Kennedy and Johnson, and a member of the Trilateral Commission, wrote in the April, 1974 issue of the Council on Foreign Relation’s (CFR) journal Foreign Affairs (pg. 558) in an article titled ‘The Hard Road To World Order’:
“In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion,’ to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.”
Global pandemic, whether a natural event or deliberately engineered, actually serves the purposes of the globalist establishment in a number of ways. First and foremost, it is a superb distraction. The general public, overcome with fears of an invisible force of nature that can possibly kill them at any moment, will probably forget all about the much bigger threat to their life, liberty and future – the subsequent collapse of the massive ‘Everything Bubble’ and the globalist “solution” that a pandemic can trigger.
The coronavirus is only a moderate threat in comparison to economic crisis. That said, I want to confront a few issues concerning the virus itself before we get to the economic question.
Virus Disinformation
I have seen a lot of delusional assumptions and outright disinformation being spread by people in regards to this potential pandemic. First, the notion that it was caused by Chinese citizens “eating bats” or being exposed to a live animal market is rather ridiculous. We’ve seen NO hard evidence whatsoever that this is true, and I believe the narrative is a cover for the fact that the city of Wuhan where the virus outbreak began is the home of not one but TWO level 4 biohazard labs.
I have a hard time ignoring the strange “coincidence” of the high level biohazard labs in Wuhan in favor of the idea that the virus was launched by chance due to the odd diets of central Chinese people. Given the evidence it appears that the coronavirus was gestated in a lab, not in someone’s bat and snake soup. In 2017, scientists outside of China warned that these labs were not secure and that a virus might escape one of the facilities.
I would use the term “escape” loosely, as there is a possibility that this event was created intentionally. The virus itself has certain hallmarks of being engineered (including its long dormant period without visible symptoms) and the current strain is probably derived from the one the Chinese stole a year ago from a lab in Winnipeg, Canada.
But it gets even weirder.
Only three months ago, John Hopkins, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum (a hive of self-professed globalists) ran a “pandemic simulation” called “Event 201” specifically focused on Coronavirus. Not Ebola, or Swine Flu or even Avian Flu – but CORONAVIRUS. The simulation features the spread of coronavirus in South America, blamed on animal to human transmission (pigs). The conclusion of the exercise was that national governments were nowhere near ready, scoring 40 out of 100 on their preparedness scale. The simulation projected over 65 million deaths worldwide.
Event 201 played out almost exactly as it has been in China today. Some very disingenuous or perhaps rather stupid people have been arguing that this kind of thing is “normal”, claiming that we are “lucky” that the elites have been running simulations in advance in order to “save us” from a coronavirus outbreak. I assert that Event 201 was not a simulation but a war-game to study the possible outcomes of an event the globalists already knew was coming. Set aside the fact that before almost every major crisis event and terrorist attack for the past few decades authorities were running simulations for that exact event right before it happened; does anyone really believe that Event 201 is pure coincidence?
Another false assumption that needs to be addressed is the idea that a viral threat will not strike the West, or at least, not the US. This odd bias is one that I don’t think most cultures except Americans suffer from; the belief that they are untouchable and that the system will always avert crisis. From the responses I have been seeing lately many Americans are living in a fantasy world. Even now, the investment world is placing full stock and hope in the prediction that the Federal Reserve will step in to disrupt any economic downturn related to the pandemic.
Even if the Fed intended to intervene, why would anyone be naive enough to believe the central bank can do anything about how a viral outbreak damages the economy? Central banks can do nothing but create debt, and debt will not beat back the coronavirus.
In terms of delusional optimism on the pandemic itself, the arguments range from “screening of travelers is too comprehensive to allow the virus to spread here” and “as long as the virus destroys China, who cares…?” This is a narrow view of the situation.
The screening process is terrible, and usually involves basic questions which can be evaded with lies. But beyond that, the virus is already here. It was circulating through China for at least a few weeks before it was ever addressed by government authorities or the CDC. It also is reported to be asymptomatic, which means it remains dormant, yet also contagious, for up to two weeks before symptoms become visible. This is a far worse scenario than the ebola scare in 2014, in that the coronavirus is able to hide effectively. The only thing that can be done to slow the spread is to shut down ALL international travel, which the CDC and the WHO have no intention of doing right now, not that it matters anymore with over 110 suspected cases in the US already.
So, let’s be realistic. If the virus is as communicable as the CDC and independent scientists claim, then we will see the effects here in America.
Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste…
But what do globalists have to gain directly from a coronavirus pandemic beyond simple chaos that can be exploited?
Interestingly, a representative from Johnson and Johnson, one of the companies that may end up designing a “vaccine” for the Cronavirus, suggested during Event 201 that a “centralized” global economic authority in charge of funding and procuring vaccines for various nations in crisis was an option for solving the pandemic.
Gee, that sounds strangely similar to what globalists have been demanding for many years now, and the pandemic just happens to offer a perfect excuse for the creation of such a one-world financial authority. They might claim that such a system would be temporary according to the life of the pandemic, but this will be a lie.
In terms of the economic effects, even if the virus were to stay primarily in China, the Chinese economy is, in basic terms, the largest in the world; it is the biggest exporter/importer and it is central to the now interdependent global economy. If China’s economy goes down, even for a short time, this will send shockwaves through all other national economies and supply lines.
In May of last year I published an article titled ‘Globalists Only Need One More Major Event To Finish Sabotaging The Economy’. To summarize the situation:
The globalist establishment has created the largest financial bubble in modern history through central bank stimulus, inflating a highly unstable artificial rally in markets while also creating new highs in national debt, corporate debt and consumer debt. The economic fundamentals have been sending alarms for the past two years, and the ‘Everything Bubble’ is showing signs of implosion. It is only a matter of time before the farce collapses by itself. The globalists need scapegoats, but they also need an event or wave of events so distracting that people will not be able to discern what really happened.
The reason why globalists want a collapse is simple – They need crisis in order to manipulate the masses into accepting total centralization, a global monetary system and global governance. They are also rabid believers in eugenics and population reduction.At the very least, a global pandemic is a useful happenstance for them; but the timing of the coronavirus event and their highly accurate “simulation” only three months ago also suggests their potential involvement, as it comes right as the implosion of the Everything Bubble was accelerating.
Consider this: Even if a pandemic does not kill a large number of people, it still disrupts international travel, it disrupts exports and imports, it disrupts consumer behavior and retail sales, and it disrupts domestic trade. If it does kill a large number of people, and if the Chinese government’s response is any indication, it could result in global martial law. With many economies including the US economy already in a precarious balancing act of historic debt vs. crashing demand and useless central bank repo market intervention, there is little chance that the system can withstand such a tsunami.
Make no mistake, the crash has already begun, whether the virus hits the US hard or not. The only question is, will this be the trigger event that accelerates the collapse process that is already in motion?
I took my time in publishing this article because I believed it was important to first watch the Chinese, CDC and WHO response to the virus. If they dealt with the situation quickly then there was a chance that it would have only minor influence on the financial system. They did not deal with the situation quickly or decisively. In fact, over 5 million people left the Hubei region of China before active quarantine and treatment procedures began. The situation has spiraled out of control in China and it is clear that the government is now lying through its teeth about the number of sick and dead.
I would not be surprised if we discover in the next two weeks that the death tally is in the thousands, and the sickness rate is actually in the hundreds of thousands. The fact that China has now quarantined over 50 million people in 16 cities suggests the danger is much higher than they have admitted. If this is the case, then at the very least, the Chinese economy is about to take a massive hit. If the virus doesn’t spread, the economic damage will.
Pandemic Smokescreen, Economic Collapse And “Climate Change”
Look at it this way – The US and China are still currently in the middle of a trade war. The Phase 1 deal was always a joke, because it demands that China quadruple its purchases from the US within the next 1-2 years. This was never going to happen, but the false hope (along with corporate stock buybacks) lifted global stocks out of reversal. Now, there is no chance that China will meet the requirements of the Phase 1 deal and that will soon become evident, as China’s economy will grind down under the weight of the pandemic.
If Trump continues tariffs against a nation in the state of a viral emergency he will look like a monster (which I believe is his job as a globalist puppet pretending to be a conservative nationalist). In the meantime, global trade becomes muddled and the last structural supports of the system snap in half.
With global supply lines frozen and travel eventually restricted, trade will stall. There is no way around this. This is not just about China, it is about all nations. And, ultimately, this is not even about the coronavirus, it is about the financial time bomb that the globalist establishment created. It is about our economic interdependency and the house of cards we have become. In the wake of calamity, the globalists will call for even MORE interdependency. They will claim tragedy struck because we were not “centralized enough”.
Another advantage of the viral crisis is that the establishment will undoubtedly blame the “climate change” and “global warming” hoax for its impetus. Even though there is absolutely no concrete evidence linking human carbon emissions to climate change or viral outbreaks, given enough public fear globalists will attempt to link the three things together as if it is a proven fact. Not only will they have a rationale for an economic collapse THEY created, but they can also present a virus engineered by humans in a lab as an “act of nature”, and use it as a rationale for implementing carbon controls
In the next issue of my Wild Bunch Dispatch Newsletter I will be outlining solutions and preparedness options for surviving a pandemic scenario; all is not lost if this event does accelerate as the globalists predicted in their Event 201 model. It is still hard to say with certainty, but this appears to be the “black swan” that the globalists were waiting for (or planning) all along. Remaining vigilant in terms of the pandemic is recommended, but do not forget about the economic disaster that will inevitably follow as the coronavirus continues to spread.
