thelibertybeacon--2020-07-01--Organisation with something to hide persecutes honest surgeon

The following article is from John Carlton , founding member of the Free People Alliance , in support of Dr Mohammad Iqbal Adil , whose courageous stand we featured recently on UK Reloaded , although one of the videos featured in the article has since been taken down by YouTube as part of the great cover-up by the criminal cartels behind the Coronavirus Psyop .
The persecution of a highly skilled and valuable surgeon capable of saving many lies and his suspension not for inability to do his job but for ( gasp ! )
speaking his mind contrasts sharply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and professed devotion to the NHS .
If they care that much about the NHS and its staff , why stand by and allow a pharmaceutical front group to spit on our cultural values of fair play , justice and the freedom of ideas by enacting the injustice of a rigged hearing to destroy the career of an NHS surgeon for expressing his opinion ?
It is an indicator of the degree to which someone is determined to cover up crimes – present and planned – against the NHS and the British people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staff are pressured into keeping silent .
One wonders just how big and ugly is the can of worms upon which the lid is being kept so tightly screwed .
GMC targets Surgeon for exercising his Right to Free Speech Our dear friend , Dr Adil , is being persecuted by the GMC for speaking out against COVID19 and the lockdown .
The GMC have unlawfully suspended Dr Adil ’ s license to practice for 12 months for speaking his professional viewpoint on the Covid-19 pandemic and the far-reaching effects of the lockdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wellbeing .
His videos on social media have been appreciated by many thousands of people across the world in helping to reduce the stress and fear created by the mainstream media .
Dr Adil is a consultant surgeon with over 30 years experience in the NHS helping patients will life-threatening conditions .

Dr Adil made two requests for an adjournment so that he could instruct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both requests were rejected by the GMC .
The GMC did not provide Dr Adil with the documentation bundle of 247 pages prior to the hearing – after the hearing started he was given just 90 minutes to read the 247 pages of documents and to prepare his defence .
Dr Adil has had his license to practice suspended for a period of 12 months , also implying that if he speaks out again he will not get his license back .
This action by the GMC is part of a campaign to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speaking their truth or saying anything against the mainstream media narrative relating to Covid-19 .
We are mid launching a CrowdJustice appeal to win his license back and open the door for all doctors to speak their truth without fear or threat – this will open the floodgates for many doctors to tell us what they know is true but have so far been muzzled under threat of sanctions from the GMC .

Looking for someone to blame for the post-lockdown case spike that has some states reimposing coronavirus lockdown measures? Go no further than your local small businesses, say media outlets urging a return to lockdown.
Many states have reported unsettling rises in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, so much so that states like Texas and Florida have put the brakes on allowing bars, restaurants, and other places people gather to resume operations in the last week, insisting it’s too dangerous to continue.

But this rush to pin the case increases on small businesses reopening ignores several other potential causes of the uptick – the most obvious being the massive protests against police brutality that have thronged the streets of American cities large and small for the past month, rarely taking note of anything like social distancing and sometimes degenerating into rioting and violence. The focus on small businesses also ignores the continued role of big-box stores and chain restaurants – which have also seen heavy traffic as restrictions are lifted, yet somehow seem immune (no pun intended) to the media scoldfest.

It’s entirely possible some of these people really did catch the virus from their one night out drinking with friends after three months of faithful lockdown. Yet even as media outlets appeared to delight in fingering beloved neighborhood bars or popular restaurants for supposedly reigniting the flames of the pandemic, the George Floyd protests that convinced many to ditch their scrupulous adherence to social distancing and join the roiling mass of humanity in the streets demanding justice seem to have flown under their radar.

US hospitals saw a steady decline in COV+ patients from 4/15 to 6/15. in the last 10 days, they have seen a change in this trend many have sought to blame this on “re-opening” but his this a credible claim? perhaps not infection to hospital is 11-14 days. so let’s look back pic.twitter.com/tNQS0OyeMo — el gato malo (@boriquagato) June 26, 2020
Not only does statistical analysis appear to show the start of the demonstrations coinciding with a reversal of fortunes for the US’ pandemic numbers, but states with higher post-lockdown numbers weren’t necessarily the ones throwing wide open the doors to their bars and restaurants, either.
how would one even make that case? i suppose one could argue that this is being driven by localities and the US aggregate is not meaningful. but this thesis seems fraught. every state in the US is following the same pattern of bottoming on easter and re-opening in late april pic.twitter.com/XzUM12MXVR — el gato malo (@boriquagato) June 26, 2020
There’s no definitive way to trace transmission of the virus to the protests, of course – certainly not when New York City’s contact tracers are forbidden from even asking the people they call if they’ve attended one. And given the unalloyed enthusiasm most mainstream news organizations displayed for the protests, it would be downright embarrassing for them to admit that it’s possible to catch a virus while demonstrating for racial justice.

thelibertybeacon--2020-06-30--Stumbling Towards Catastrophe: The New Cold War With China

Stumbling Towards Catastrophe : The New Cold War With China With tensions between the US and China at an all-time high , experts warn the two powers are closer to a military confrontation than ever before .
A war with China should be unthinkable in Washington since the conflict could be catastrophic to the entire world as the threat of it erupting into a full-blown nuclear war is very real .
But with a deteriorating trade relationship , tension over the Covid-19 pandemic , increased US Navy activity in the Pacific , new sanctions aimed at Chinese officials , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the unthinkable is becoming more and more likely .
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced new sanctions on Friday aimed at “ current and former ” Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) officials , accusing them of violating Hong Kong ’ s autonomy .
Hong Kong has served as a stage for recent US meddling , with Washington openly supporting the protests that rocked the city since March 2019 .
The Trump administration accused Beijing of violating Hong Kong ’ s autonomy with a new national security law made for the city @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Some Chinese officials justified passing the law by pointing to the foreign interference in the demonstrations – that interference included Congress hosting protest leaders and passing legislation to confront Beijing over the former British colony .
China ’ s concern with foreign interference is clearly outlined in the national security bill , which includes “ collusion with foreign and external forces ” on a list of criminal offenses the bill aims to combat .
The Senate just passed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act , which would sanction “ foreign individuals and entities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ failure to preserve Hong Kong ’ s autonomy.
” The new legislation is the Senate ’ s response to the Hong Kong national security law .
Congress is also keen on confronting China militarily , with lawmakers working out a plan to give the Pentagon funds to increase its footprint in the region , a plan dubbed the “ Indo-Pacific Deterrence Initiative.
” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has repeatedly identified China as the Pentagon ’ s number one priority .
President Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act into law on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enable even more sanctions against Chinese officials over China ’ s treatment of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province .
The Trump administration published a document last week that listed 20 Chinese companies and accused them of being arms of China ’ s military , the People ’ s Liberation Army ( PLA ) .
Although nothing in the document substantiated the claim , it opens the possibility of Washington taking actions against the companies listed , like sanctions , which have become a staple of the administration .
The telecommunications company Huawei @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegedly run by the PLA .
Huawei , a major player in 5G technologies , has been banned from the US .
The Trump administration is working hard to prevent other countries from doing business with Huawei and continues to pressure its allies into not accepting the company ’ s 5G technology .
The common accusation against Huawei is that its equipment could be used to spy on other countries , an accusation that rings hollow coming from the US , a country that can track cell phones all over the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NSA contractor Edward Snowden .
These latest economic provocations came after the US and China signed the Phase One trade deal in January .
According to The Wall Street Journal , when Mike Pompeo met with China ’ s top diplomat Yang Jiechi ( Pictured ) in Hawaii on June 18th , Yang warned Washington ’ s recent meddling in Beijing ’ s affairs could jeopardize the trade deal .
Yang listed Hong Kong and Taiwan as areas where the US meddles and expressed “ strong dissatisfaction ” with President Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The increase in tensions between the US and China is due in large part to the Covid-19 pandemic .
Top officials in the White House , including the president , have accused Beijing of a cover-up in the early days of the outbreak .
In an interview with Fox News last week , White House trade advisor Peter Navarro was asked if the phase one trade deal was over .
Navarro responded , “ it ’ s over , ” his reasoning being the fact that the Chinese officials who signed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not mention the pandemic .
Navarro claims the White House first heard of the pandemic after the Chinese diplomats ’ plane took off , although Covid-19 was already in the news days before .
Navarro quickly recanted his statement on the trade deal and said he was taken “ wildly out of context ” in the interview .
“ I was simply speaking to the lack of trust we now have of the Chinese Communist Party after they lied about the origins of the China virus and foisted a pandemic upon the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took to Twitter to ensure that the trade deal is still “ fully intact.
” In the early days of the Trump administration , Navarro and former White House strategist Steve Bannon ( Pictured ) fought hard to push President Trump to put tariffs on Chinese goods , a battle they won .
Bannon , a self-described ultra-hawk when it comes to China , has been crusading against the CCP since he left the White House .
In a recent interview with Asia Times , when asked if Washington should pursue regime change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I don ’ t think Asia can be free , until we ’ ve had regime change in Beijing .
And I am an absolute advocate of that.
” Bannon denied rumors that he was joining the Trump campaign for 2020 but ensured many of his friends and colleagues will be on the president ’ s team .
“ One hundred and twenty percent of my time right now is spent on taking down the Chinese Communist Party , with the Committee on the Present Danger , ” Bannon said .
The Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) is an incredibly hawkish think-tank started by Bannon and neoconservative Frank Gaffney in 2019 .
On June 5th , the CPD published an essay titled “ To the Americans Who Are on Their Knees , ” which Gaffney and CPD chair Brian Kennedy called “ the single most important call in a generation aimed at enabling our countrymen and women to recognize and respond appropriately to a present danger.
” The essay addresses the protests that erupted across the US in the wake of the killing of George Floyd .
The author @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the “ catspaw ” of foreign powers .
“ First , the police will be defunded ; second , the Revolution will defund the US military ; third , the Chinese and Russians will bomb and invade the country , ” the essay reads .
This tirade could be dismissed as the ramblings of a crazed hawk , but a link to the essay remains in prominence on the CPD ’ s front page , and the think-tank ’ s message gets through to the White House .
The group recently sent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him for releasing the list of 20 companies that are allegedly run by the PLA and gave the president advice on possible steps forward .
Some of the tamer rhetoric coming from the CPD and right-wing populists like Bannon resonates with many Americans .
There are real concerns regarding US reliance on Chinese manufacturing , something that was exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic when the US faced shortages of personal protective equipment .
The loss of American jobs to China is another talking point that gets through to people on the right and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among both groups that corporations sold out the American people when they exported manufacturing to China .

Stumbling Towards Catastrophe: The New Cold War With China
by Dave Decamp
With tensions between the US and China at an all-time high, experts warn the two powers are closer to a military confrontation than ever before. A war with China should be unthinkable in Washington since the conflict could be catastrophic to the entire world as the threat of it erupting into a full-blown nuclear war is very real. But with a deteriorating trade relationship, tension over the Covid-19 pandemic, increased US Navy activity in the Pacific, new sanctions aimed at Chinese officials, and hostile rhetoric coming from the Trump administration, the unthinkable is becoming more and more likely.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced new sanctions on Friday aimed at “current and former” Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials, accusing them of violating Hong Kong’s autonomy. Hong Kong has served as a stage for recent US meddling, with Washington openly supporting the protests that rocked the city since March 2019. The Trump administration accused Beijing of violating Hong Kong’s autonomy with a new national security law made for the city, a bill designed to quell protests.
Some Chinese officials justified passing the law by pointing to the foreign interference in the demonstrations – that interference included Congress hosting protest leaders and passing legislation to confront Beijing over the former British colony. China’s concern with foreign interference is clearly outlined in the national security bill, which includes “collusion with foreign and external forces” on a list of criminal offenses the bill aims to combat.
The Senate just passed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which would sanction “foreign individuals and entities that materially contribute to China’s failure to preserve Hong Kong’s autonomy.” The new legislation is the Senate’s response to the Hong Kong national security law. Congress is also keen on confronting China militarily, with lawmakers working out a plan to give the Pentagon funds to increase its footprint in the region, a plan dubbed the “Indo-Pacific Deterrence Initiative.” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has repeatedly identified China as the Pentagon’s number one priority.
President Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act into law on June 17th, a bill that will enable even more sanctions against Chinese officials over China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province. The Trump administration published a document last week that listed 20 Chinese companies and accused them of being arms of China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Although nothing in the document substantiated the claim, it opens the possibility of Washington taking actions against the companies listed, like sanctions, which have become a staple of the administration.
The telecommunications company Huawei was included in the list of companies allegedly run by the PLA. Huawei, a major player in 5G technologies, has been banned from the US. The Trump administration is working hard to prevent other countries from doing business with Huawei and continues to pressure its allies into not accepting the company’s 5G technology. The common accusation against Huawei is that its equipment could be used to spy on other countries, an accusation that rings hollow coming from the US, a country that can track cell phones all over the world, as revealed by the leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
These latest economic provocations came after the US and China signed the Phase One trade deal in January. According to The Wall Street Journal, when Mike Pompeo met with China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi (Pictured) in Hawaii on June 18th, Yang warned Washington’s recent meddling in Beijing’s affairs could jeopardize the trade deal. Yang listed Hong Kong and Taiwan as areas where the US meddles and expressed “strong dissatisfaction” with President Trump’s signing of the Uyghur Human Rights Act.
The increase in tensions between the US and China is due in large part to the Covid-19 pandemic. Top officials in the White House, including the president, have accused Beijing of a cover-up in the early days of the outbreak. In an interview with Fox News last week, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro was asked if the phase one trade deal was over. Navarro responded, “it’s over,” his reasoning being the fact that the Chinese officials who signed the agreement in Washington on January 15th did not mention the pandemic. Navarro claims the White House first heard of the pandemic after the Chinese diplomats’ plane took off, although Covid-19 was already in the news days before.
Navarro quickly recanted his statement on the trade deal and said he was taken “wildly out of context” in the interview. “I was simply speaking to the lack of trust we now have of the Chinese Communist Party after they lied about the origins of the China virus and foisted a pandemic upon the world,” Navarro said. President Trump took to Twitter to ensure that the trade deal is still “fully intact.”
In the early days of the Trump administration, Navarro and former White House strategist Steve Bannon (Pictured) fought hard to push President Trump to put tariffs on Chinese goods, a battle they won. Bannon, a self-described ultra-hawk when it comes to China, has been crusading against the CCP since he left the White House. In a recent interview with Asia Times, when asked if Washington should pursue regime change in Beijing, Bannon said, “I don’t think Asia can be free, until we’ve had regime change in Beijing. And I am an absolute advocate of that.”
Bannon denied rumors that he was joining the Trump campaign for 2020 but ensured many of his friends and colleagues will be on the president’s team. “One hundred and twenty percent of my time right now is spent on taking down the Chinese Communist Party, with the Committee on the Present Danger,” Bannon said. The Committee on Present Danger: China (CPD) is an incredibly hawkish think-tank started by Bannon and neoconservative Frank Gaffney in 2019.
On June 5th, the CPD published an essay titled “To the Americans Who Are on Their Knees,” which Gaffney and CPD chair Brian Kennedy called “the single most important call in a generation aimed at enabling our countrymen and women to recognize and respond appropriately to a present danger.” The essay addresses the protests that erupted across the US in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. The author claims the American left leading the movement is the “catspaw” of foreign powers. “First, the police will be defunded; second, the Revolution will defund the US military; third, the Chinese and Russians will bomb and invade the country,” the essay reads.
This tirade could be dismissed as the ramblings of a crazed hawk, but a link to the essay remains in prominence on the CPD’s front page, and the think-tank’s message gets through to the White House. The group recently sent a letter to President Trump, praising him for releasing the list of 20 companies that are allegedly run by the PLA and gave the president advice on possible steps forward.
Some of the tamer rhetoric coming from the CPD and right-wing populists like Bannon resonates with many Americans. There are real concerns regarding US reliance on Chinese manufacturing, something that was exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic when the US faced shortages of personal protective equipment. The loss of American jobs to China is another talking point that gets through to people on the right and the left. There is a consensus among both groups that corporations sold out the American people when they exported manufacturing to China.
Despite the rhetoric, the fact that the US and China are each other’s largest trading partners has its benefits. This fact is enough to discourage officials on both sides from turning this Cold War into a hot one. But as trade relations sour, and President Trump openly considers completely “decoupling” from China, the risk of a shooting war is much higher.
The prophetic Justin Raimondo put it best in a March 2008 column titled, “Why They Hate China.” Justin wrote:
“If goods don’t cross borders, then armies soon will – a historical truism noted by many before me, and with good reason. Let it be a warning to all those anti-free trade, antiwar types of the Right as well as the Left – you’ll soon be jumping on the War Party’s bandwagon when it comes China’s turn to play the role of global bogeyman. The way things are going, that day may come soon enough.”
Justin’s words are something to reflect on while the US and China are careening towards war and people on the left and the right continue to demonize Beijing. While there are real concerns to be had with China’s human rights abuses, US intervention will undoubtedly make the situation worse. And hawks like Steve Bannon disguise their neocon hopes of regime-change in a country of 1.4 billion people as populist rhetoric to fool Americans into consenting to this new Cold War. Washington has a history of stumbling into catastrophe in East Asia. From Manila to Pyongyang, US adventurism in the region has left millions dead in its wake, a war with China will kill millions more — a potential catastrophe that must be avoided.

Gresham’s Law and the Covid-19 pandemic
By Jacob Puliyel, M.D.
Gresham’s law holds that bad money drives out good money. If there are two coins with the same face value, but of different intrinsic value (assume that one is made of a more precious metal) the coin with less intrinsic worth (bad coin) will be used for currency transactions and the more valuable coin will go out of circulation.
This law applies to the pharmaceuticals today. If there are two drugs of comparable efficacy, the drug that costs more (bad coin) will drive out the good drug (less expensive one) out of the market. It is unfortunate that we are experiencing this in the midst of the humanitarian tragedy of the Covid pandemic.
The present pandemic is caused by a novel virus and mankind has no experience with how to deal with it. There are no drugs or vaccines we know will work. To fight the virus, one approach is to re-purpose approved drugs developed for other uses. A variety of drugs on the market can be tested for efficacy against the new virus. We will discuss the testing of two such drugs against Covid-19.
Remdesivir is a candidate drug. It had been developed for the Ebola virus but it was not found to be effective against it. A generic version of the drug manufactured by Hetero costs Rs 5000 to Rs 6000 ($65-$80 USD) per vial. The 11 vials needed for a 10-day course costs Rs 55,000 ($728 USD). Remdesivir was subjected to a clinical trial against Covid-19 and the early results of this study were published by Beigel and colleagues in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on 22 May 2020. There was no statistically meaningful benefit for survival with use of the drug, but among those that survived, recovery time was reduced by four days to a median of 11 days instead of 15 days. The US FDA has approved this drug for compassionate use.
Hydroxychloroqunin (HCQ) is another drug under consideration. It is an antimalarial drug that costs Rs 68 for 10 tablets and a course of treatment requires 12 tablets. The WHO studied this drug in 400 hospitals in 35 countries. It was called the Solidarity trial. However, on 22 May 2020, on the same day that the Remdesivir report appeared in the NEJM, another famous medical journal, The Lancet, published a report that HCQ caused 35% more deaths due to adverse effects of the drug in another trial. Within three days of the publication of the Lancet paper, the WHO suspended the Solidarity study.
India, however, decided to defy the WHO and continue its trial of HCQ. During the period when the Solidarity study was suspended, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) wrote to the WHO, that Solidarity schedule was employing four times the recommended dose of HCQ. The WHO schedule prescribed 1600 mg of the drug on the first day and total of 9600 mg for the full course of treatment. This dose was likely to be toxic and potentially fatal. Dr Vinod Paul in the Niti Aayog was of the opinion (New Indian Express 29 May) that the drug given in the correct dose was useful against Covid in India.
It turned out that the Lancet paper about HCQ deaths was fraudulent and used fabricated data. The Lancet paper was retracted within 13 days of publication. On 3 June, the WHO resumed the Solidarity HCQ study. In spite of the warning about the drug dosage from the ICMR, the same toxic dose was continued.
Ten days later, Dr Meryl Nass, an US physician and expert on adverse reactions with drugs, wrote in her blog on 14 June 2020 about the lethal dose of HCQ being used in the Solidarity trial. People on Twitter, took it up. Three days later, on the 17 June, the WHO announced that it was suspending the HCQ trial because ‘there was no reduction in mortality’ with the drug, without any mention of the controversy about the drug dosage being used. No data was published.
By a strange coincidence, on the same day the WHO stopped its HCQ trial, the UK announced that it was stopping its trial of HCQ (called the Recovery trial) because they found simultaneously, that there was no reduction in mortality with the drug. The UK Recovery trial was funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF) and it was also using the same toxic dosage as the Solidarity trial. No data was provided about the other outcome measures like the reduction in time to recovery.
Clearly there are different standards operating here for the two drugs. Clearly there are different standards operating here for the two drugs.
One can see the contrast here between the trials with the two drugs. The Remdesivir trial reported in the NEJM had found no reduction in mortality but the trial was continued on the basis of an improvement in recovery time among survivors. This was not reported on in the HCQ study. Clearly there are different standards operating here for the two drugs.
We cannot let matters rest here. The Lancet paper was retracted but we need to investigate who was really behind this effort to fraudulently discredit HCQ. “Surgisphere” is reported as the organisation that manufactured the data, but who got them to do this? Did they get any extraordinary help from the journal for publication?
Was this a concerted effort by pharma to discredit the less expensive drug? While it is made to appear as a rogue company “Surgisphere” appears to have done this to improve its visibility, it is necessary to have a deeper investigation into the motives and involvement of others, including publishers.
Further, one needs to know who was responsible for putting lives at risk by recommending toxic doses of HCQ in Solidarity and Recovery trials. One cannot assume this was an unintentional mistake, as the dose was not corrected even after the error was pointed out by the ICMR. We need to get to the bottom of this and those involved need to be discredited and weeded out, if we do not want bad science, like bad coins, taking over the world. If this is not done, in all probability, the results of the ICMR HCQ study will not be allowed to be published. Gresham’s Law of Pharmacotheraputics–only expensive drugs will show positive results.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
