Health Editor’s Note: Does this sound familiar? Imagine a cover-up. Who would do that? It took almost 30 years from the time of this German air attack on British and U.S. ships , in the harbor of Bari, Italy, to learn the truth about the military disaster that took place and how this disaster make an impact on the lives of Americans with cancer. Soldiers rescued from the air attack, started to develop huge blisters on their skin, extreme thirst, pain, cardio-circulatory failure, and they died. After much denial it was discovered that an allied ship, the John Harvey, was carrying mustard gas for a chemical stockpile at Foggia, 75 miles from Bari, to improve U.S.’s chances to retaliate against a German chemical attack.
Failing to admit there was mustard gas in the area and that quite probably that mustard had escaped into the environment harmed and killed many soldiers before treatment could begin to save some of them. When looking at blood samples Then it was discovered that the nitrogen mustard gas attacked and killed the white blood cells, really wiped them out.
It was postulated that if it killed white cells and blood forming organs with such abandon, that perhaps it could be used to control leukemia, a cancer of the blood which produces too many white cells, which is the most common type of cancer in children. During 1943, and during the war, it was decided that research into this promising therapy would have to wait. Sulfur mustard toxicity, which, when mixed with the oil dumped into Bari Harbor, produced a more potent toxic soup, experimental nitrogen mustard compounds.
Investigation into the toxin’s effects on the human body was able to be studied due to the chance exposure to nitrogen mustard compounds, by the poor soldiers on the bombed ships, of which one contained the mustard gas. This type of research would have normally not been completed because usual research on living volunteers would have been impossible.
The idea was to turn this incident, with its results, into something that would be helpful. But bottom line was the mention of mustard gas was expunged from all medical records. Alexander’s preliminary report of his 10 day investigation of the Bari Harbor catastrophe was classified. No one wanted Hitler to use this mustard gas incident as an excuse for a gas offensive. But guess what! The Germans knew that the source of the mustard gas was the harbor. and they had sent down their own diver, Italian Fascist frogman, who found the M47 bomb casing which proved the chemical weapons were American.
The military research into this poison gas was used to find a chemical that would selectively kill cancer cells. The precursor of chemotherapy was discovered. On August 7, 1945, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, the plans for the Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research was launched…..Carol


veteranstoday--2020-08-19--NEO: The Strange Case of Beirut’s Missing Port

By Gordon Duff and New Eastern Outlook of the Russian Academy of Science ( Est : 1816 ) On the afternoon of August 4 , 2020 , two explosions occurred in Beirut ’ s port area .
One was small , the other one left a crater 550 feet across and , according to most recent reports , over 100 feet deep , perhaps well over .
Reports on events have been the subject of a massive disinformation campaign , a massive censorship campaign and , as usual , rewriting history , science and physics to fit “ alternative facts.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it right and sticks to his guns when challenged .
During a press conference regarding the event , President Donald Trump made the following statement : He was immediately attacked in the media , across the board , and mention of his answer was banned on Facebook as was the president ’ s remark .
Then the next day in a press conference , President Trump “ doubled down ” on his answer : Question : You called this an attack , are you confident that this was an attack and not an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would seem like it based on the explosion .
I met with some of our great generals and they just seem to feel It was .
It was not a…some kind of a manufacturing explosion type of event .
This was a…seems to be according to them , they would know better than I would , but they seem to think it was an attack .
It was a bomb of some kind.
” That day , Secretary of Defense Mike Esper stated that he “ believed ” President Trump was mistaken .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ back his statement .
From CNN : “ Washington ( CNN ) Defense Secretary Mark Esper is downplaying any differences he had with the White House ’ s assessment as to what caused the deadly explosion in Beirut after his speculation that the blast was likely the result of an accident drew push back from the White House .
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows went even further when asked about Esper ’ s assessment that the explosion was likely an accident , saying : “ From Secretary Esper ’ s standpoint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Tuesday , Trump said that he had spoken to some of ‘ our generals ’ and that they had assessed the explosion to be a bombing attack.
” The next day , the White House put out a short announcement that Secretary of Defense Esper would not be asked to join the new administration should Donald Trump be reelected in November .
Let us then examine why Trump said what he said , why Esper backed down but also why social media and the MSM are carrying an alternative narrative and now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies , never said what he said .
Trump is no longer attacked , he has simply been “ obliqued ” by an orchestrated disinformation campaign , but why ?
Let ’ s look at what happened , what everyone agrees upon , and move from there .
The first explosion was small and started a fire in a warehouse .
The second explosion , based on the crater size and 3.5 Richter scale reading was equal to 6 kilotons of TNT or at least 12 kilotons of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nitrate and heavy fuel oil which can only be exploded with a shockwave , typically using TNT .
These figures come from real explosives experts familiar with nuclear testing .
You see , only nuclear explosions typically put out multiple kiloton level blasts and only nuclear weapons experts have any experience whatsoever in studying cratering and blast effects of such explosions .
There are no “ conventional explosive experts ” who specialize in exploding fertilizer or rocket plants .
This job description does not exist nor do any so-called experts .
Key to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are hundreds of “ facts , ” missile sightings , eyewitness and video , plane sightings , eyewitness and many videos , and a series of narratives that closely resemble “ big lie ” propaganda .
As is the case , if one looks at everything then nothing is settled .
Simply put , the disinformation campaign is predicated on this being a blast of 2750 tons of fertilizer abandoned in Lebanon 6 years ago , a story not everyone is comfortable with including sources inside the Lebanese government .
We begin with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Minister , in a story from Mideast Monitor : “ Former Lebanese Interior Minister and current MP , Nohad Machnouk , has become the first senior Lebanese politician to blame Israel for the blast at Beirut Port last week .
During a press conference , Machnouk said Israel was “ clearly ” responsible for the huge explosion which has killed over 200 people and wounded thousands .
‘ This operation in Beirut was carried out by Israel in a clear and explicit manner , ” Machnouk said .
“ It is clear we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and therefore no one dares to claim responsibility for it.
’ The high-ranking politician served as Lebanon ’ s interior minister in 2014 and again in 2016 .
He is a member of ex-Prime Minister Saad Hariri ’ s Future Movement , the country ’ s Sunni bloc and opposes the Hezbollah movement .
In the aftermath of the explosion , he said : ‘ This is the first time since the Phoenician era that we don ’ t have a port in Beirut.
’ ” Privately , a former Defense Minister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosion and credited it to an Israeli attack , first by a sea based small missile , which started a fire and then an air attack from an F 16 which launched , according to the source , a missile with a tactical nuclear warhead , much as described by President Donald Trump , quoting his Pentagon sources .
Similarly , in response to claims this was a fertilizer explosion , a spokesman for Hezbollah , speaking directly to VT Bureau Chief Nahed al Husaini in Damascus made the following observation .
Thus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only real fact we can all agree on and that one is hard science , ammonium nitrate fertilizer can ’ t explode without extreme effort and certainly not under the circumstances as seen in Beirut .
Attempts to “ massage ” science and technology to conform to disinformation are underway but as yet unsuccessful .
The best thing written on this comes from a Lebanese mining engineer writing in response to claims Beirut was a “ fertilizer explosion.
” “ I have to say I disagree with this gentleman .
The moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ yes ’ or ‘ no ’ question posed to him when asked if a match tossed on a pile of ammonia nitrate would initiate a catastrophic explosion , he hesitated for a few seconds before answering and I knew immediately that whatever he was going to say was may be a bit cloudy and opaque .
I ’ ve worked in the open pit mining industry all my life as a surveyor and a blasting technician .
For my last two years at a large open pit coal operation in the British @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the blast patterns and deciding which explosive product to load into the drill holes .
We used ANFO , a mixture of ammonia nitrate and diesel fuel .
The AN stands for ammonia nitrate and FO stands for fuel oil or diesel fuel .
We used a product called HANFO or what is called heavy anfo .
It was called heavy anfo because it had a higher concentration of diesel fuel in its mixture , hence the term Heavy anfo .
Both anfo and heavy anfo have to be used in dry holes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the diesel component would wash out and the ammonia nitrate by itself would not ignite .
In those instances we would line the drill holes with plastic liners and then load the anfo or heavy anfo into the plastic liners .
If it still proved too wet , we went to a very expensive product called Magnafrac .
It was a slurry based emulsion that was more or less water proof , but still , if left to sit too long , the slurry would decompose and fail to ignite .
Heavy anfo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anfo .
That means more bang for the buck or more explosive energy .
The name of the game was always to blast the most amount of rock with the least amount of actual product loaded .
This is called the powder factor .
The lower you can keep the powder factor and still break the host rock , the cheaper the cost .
Anfo cheapest , hanfo , more expensive , Magnafrac very expensive which drove the powder factor up .
The goal was to maintain a balance .
I ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , helped the blast crew tie the pattern in with DET cord and basically pulled the trigger .
We used blasting wire connected to a blasting machine like you see in the old movies where the bad guys are trying to blow up railroad tracks .
In the early 90 ’ s , the wire and blasting machine was replaced with a much more efficient system we called non-electric blasting .
There was no electric charge produced to run down the yellow blasting wire to the DET cord and initiate the blast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called ‘ shock tube ’ .
It was a small diameter hollow plastic tubing about 3 or 4 millimeters in diameter that had a very small powdery dusting of an explosive called ‘ pentlandite ’ a type of your basic TNT .
It was called shock tube for a reason because it was non-electric .
It is basically a fundamental shock wave generator , ( shock tubes ) either compressed air-driven or detonation-driven ) .
It produces a ‘ blast shock wave ’ .
This is the lead shock wave that then in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the explosive .
To initiate the detonation there was a small , for lack of a better word , I will say clacker , that you could step on .
The non electric energy released when the clacker was stepped on was sufficient to ignite the very minute amount of powdered explosive in the shock tube that ran and initiated the DET cord which of course ran into each drilled hole filled with the actual explosive product used in the blast pattern itself .
Now here is where the rubber meets the road @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inert elements and components that combined or by themselves couldn ’ t blow up a box of Kleenex .
The key to all this were the 500 gram TNT detonators placed at the bottom of each drill hole at the bottom of the explosives .
We generally used 2 500 gram TNT detonators per hole .
That is where the ignition took place .
Now listen carefully , it takes a TNT detonation to initiate or ignite a load of Anfo , Hanfo or Magnafrac .
What I mean by that is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the violence of a TNT initiation before it itself will actually detonate .
I ’ ve watched Anfo catch fire and burn numerous times .
It won ’ t explode , it will just burn .
And if it doesn ’ t have the diesel fuel mixture it won ’ t even do that .
Ammonia Nitrate is a commercial fertilizer .
The company employees were each given two twenty Kilo bags of Ammonia Nitrate every spring to fertilize their lawns .
It will quite literally turn a brown lawn a vibrant green @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in about 1993 , at least at the mine I was employed at during that time span .
An automobile or truck perhaps running at speed , exploding and slamming into a mound of anfo etc .
might be able to deliver the explosive force necessary to detonate the explosive product .
Or the shock wave required .
( or a missile or bomb ) We used to make the ammonia nitrate prills off mine site at a facility that was used by the explosive company that provided all the explosive product to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , explosive company that is global in scope .
And I will add that in all my time working with them and handling the various products , they/we used , they had a stellar safety record .
I ’ ve probably missed a lot and/or left out some information but this is all that I can recall to mind without having to refer to my various texts and notes .
So were there pumps , in this storage facility , was there fuel oil saturating the ammonia nitrate that gradually was absorbed over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if ammonium nitrate was stored in Warehouse 12 as some claim , it was fertilizer and could never explode .
The rationale for carrying this broad explanation with more than a bit of unnecessary detail is simple , it can be checked at any university that has a program for mining engineers , reviewed by any chemist and certainly any explosives expert , even those with no familiarity with nuclear weapons .
Beirut has a hole the size of a nuclear crater and destruction at levels unimaginable .
An American president has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that left a 500 foot crater .
The US has no such conventional weapon .
The Mark 84 penetrator will leave a 50 foot wide crater 36 feet deep , around 6200 square feet .
The crater in Beirut is approximately 700,000 square feet in area .
Thus , we reiterate , Trump said bomb , Esper said accident then Esper announced officially that he really doesn ’ t have a clue what he is talking about .
What can we prove ?
Fertilizer , like so many people have in their garages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to blow us all to kingdom come .
We can prove only a fool would listen to the mainstream media .

During a press conference regarding the event, President Donald Trump made the following statement:
“We will be there to help. It looks like a terrible attack.”
He was immediately attacked in the media, across the board, and mention of his answer was banned on Facebook as was the president’s remark. Then the next day in a press conference, President Trump “doubled down” on his answer:

I am also very suspicious of the UN’s decision about the Hariri assassination after an investigation of 15 years and one billion dollars at this sensitive time for Lebanon. The Israelis were quick to get a shot in that the Lebanon government should punish Hezbollah for the crime.
Did the Israelis have anything to do with the UN decision? … Jim W. Dean ]

…from PressTV, Tehran
Lebanese President Michel Aoun says it is “impossible” that a recent deadly explosion in the capital Beirut was triggered by a blast from a deposit of arms belonging to the Hezbollah resistance movement.
In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera published on Tuesday, Aoun stressed that Hezbollah did not store weapons at the Beirut port.
Asked about those pointing the finger of blame at the resistance group for the incident, he said, “Impossible, but serious events like these light up spirits and imagination,” adding that “even this lead will be investigated.”
Aoun also underlined the need to listen to all the hypotheses regarding the blast that rocked Beirut two weeks ago, killing at least 178 people, wounding more than 6,000 others and causing damage amounting to $10-15 billion.
“Although it seems that (it) has been an accident, I want to avoid being accused of not having listened to every voice,” Aoun said.
The Lebanese president further noted that many people claimed seeing airplanes fly by the port just before the explosion and, although “not very credible,” they should be listened to.
On 4 August, 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored the Beirut port blew up, obliterating the city’s main commercial hub and damaging buildings across a wide swath.
The cause of the blast, the most destructive in the country’s troubled history, is still unclear and a probe is looking into whether it was caused by neglect, an accident or external interference.
Earlier, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah denied accusations that his group had weaponry warehoused at the Beirut port.
Hezbollah would wait for results of the investigation, but if it turns out to be an Israeli act of sabotage, the regime would then “pay an equal price,” he said.

– First published … August 18, 2020 –
An UN-backed tribunal says it has not been able to establish any link between a 2005 blast in Beirut that killed Lebanon’s former prime minister Rafiq Hariri and the Hezbollah resistance movement or the Syrian government.
The so-called Special Tribunal for Lebanon (SDL) read out a summary of the 2,600-page verdict at The Hague on Tuesday after trying for 15 years and spending some $1 billion to prove allegations of association between the explosion and the Lebanese resistance movement or Damascus.
“There is no evidence that the Hezbollah leadership had any involvement in Mr. Hariri’s murder and there is no direct evidence of Syrian involvement,” said Judge David Re.
Lebanon’s an-Nahar daily ran the headline, “International Justice Defeats Intimidation” even before the decision was announced, referring to extensive attempts by certain parties within and outside the country to implicate the resistance group in the crime.
Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah had also said on Friday that he was not concerned about the proceedings and that if any members of the resistance movement were claimed to be guilty, Hezbollah would stand by their innocence.
The tribunal, however, did not stop short of echoing those who have been trying to make the unfounded allegations against the resistance group and Damascus.
“The trial chamber is of the view that Syria and Hezbollah may have had motives to eliminate Mr. Hariri and his political allies,” the judge said.
Observers said the latter part of the verdict showed that the countries that forced the United Nations Security Council into forming the tribunal in the first place — based on unproven hypotheses, without any legal basis, and in violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty — were still influencing the verdicts that it issues.
Hezbollah — which has rejected the jurisdiction and independence of the court — has denied any link to or interest in the atrocity.
The group has invariably proven itself as a unifying factor in the country, including by forcing Israel into retreat in the occupying regime’s 2000 and 2006 wars on the country.
Israel’s Channel 1 once alleged an association between four people with alleged links to Hezbollah and the 2005 explosion.
The tribunal considered the allegations worthy of its consideration and convicted one of the four, whom it identified as “the main defendant.”
Even with regard to the four, lawyers appointed by the tribunal itself said there was no physical evidence linking them to the crime and that they had to be acquitted.
Hezbollah has condemned the tribunal for serving as an opportunity for Tel Aviv to achieve its “unachieved” goals in Lebanon.

Kevin Barrett, VT Editor, interviewed by Press TV
Mike Pompeo has been leading the charge in the Trump administration to try to trigger the snapback provisions in the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA. And this has led to a chorus of derision and mockery from all over the world, not just from sources one would expect, like Foreign Minister Zarif from Iran, but from elsewhere as well even including from John Bolton, who was (Pompeo’s) former extremely hawkish anti-Iran colleague.
Everybody is laughing at Pompeo at this point because Pompeo’s position is that even though the United States has left the JCPOA and is out of the deal, it is still somehow in the deal, and able to trigger snapback. Pompeo also claims that the United States is going to unilaterally trigger multilateral sanctions.
So, everyone is scratching their heads and wondering what Mike Pompeo is smoking. He thinks that he can be in and out of the deal at the same time. He thinks he can impose unilateral multilateral sanctions. This violates elementary logic in a rather amusing way.
It’s like Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland, saying you can believe six impossible things before breakfast. Well, Pompeo has already got two of them. And it is also reminiscent of the complete lack of logic in the US-Iran policy. They’re basically running on fumes, and they’re desperately clutching at these illusory remedies for their bankrupt position by invoking these kinds of crazy contradictions.
You know, maybe Pompeo is living in a quantum world where Schrodinger’s cat can be alive and dead at the same time, the US can be in and out of the deal at the same time and sanctions can be unilateral and multilateral at the same time. But nobody else is in that quantum world. And he’s gonna have to come back to Earth at some point.
So, why are the so-called Americans—people like Pompeo are really, of course, representing Netanyahu, Trump was inserted into the Oval Office by Netanyahu’s people, precisely to carry out all of these insane Likud policies—so why are they so desperate? Why are they acting so irrationally, out of sheer desperation?
I think the reason is that they have won a certain battle in terms of trying to remake the Middle East region, on behalf of Israel, but they’ve lost the war. Because they’ve painted themselves into a corner, both in terms of global public opinion and now regional public opinion as the Emirates have made this treasonous deal with the Israelis alienating the entire region, the entire Arab world.
And this is at a moment when the Arab oil states are in serious decline. They’re about to really step off the stage of history, as discussed in Patrick Cockburn’s column “There’s a Historic Change Taking Place in the Middle East.”
He points out these Arab oil states, because of the collapsing price of oil, among other things, are now essentially about to lose their whole base and their population is going to be impoverished. And the leadership, such as the leaders of the Emirates, and the Saudis and the other Persian Gulf sheikhdoms in particular, are all going to be overthrown.
So who will be left? The countries that have actual economies other than just oil, countries that are not just gas stations in the desert. And that includes not just Turkey, of course, which has a strong economy, but also Iran, which has built its own DIY – Do It Yourself — local economy because of all the sanctions.
Iran is not dependent on oil exports partly because it’s been sanctioned so heavily. So now it’s the leading auto manufacturer in the region. It’s putting satellites in space. And once it gets through this Trump sanctions period which is happening because Trump and his people have alienated the whole world, Iran will come roaring back.
Meanwhile, the Arab world will see massive unrest, as the poor majority of pious Muslims gets on board with the Islamic Revolutionary spirit against their extremely corrupt Zionist secularist elite rulers.
And all of this does not bode well for the genocidal Zionist entity occupying Palestine. No wonder they’re so desperate.

We’re probably going to see more of this kind of insanity—hopefully, nothing that will lead to any explosions of extreme violence or larger war—but you can’t put anything past them, as we saw with that presumably Israeli bomb that destroyed the port of Beirut.

Kristin Urquiza, who blistered Gov. Doug Ducey in viral COVID-19 obituary, speaks at Democratic National Convention
[ Note: When George H.W. Bush called for a “compassionate conservatism” during his 1988 election campaign, he seemed to be attempting to fill a vacuum in the GOP agenda that had glorified the wealth accumulation of the prior seven years, and he hinted that there could be something more to life and politics.
Britain’s former Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli said, “The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.”
In 2020, voters are waiting and watching for signs of some sort of healthy dialog to come from a bipartisan leadership, and, by chance, this brings us to last evening’s speeches at the Democratic National Convention.
Kristin Urquiza said the U.S. needs a leader who approaches the pandemic from a data-driven, science-based perspective, and her brief address put the responsibility squarely at the feet of those state and national leaders who had labeled this version of the coronavirus a hoax or had prematurely announced that the pandemic was over. ]

Original Politico article by Kyle Cheney and Connor O’Brien
A panel of inspectors general had named Glenn Fine — the acting Pentagon watchdog — to lead the group charged with monitoring the coronavirus relief effort. But Trump on Monday removed Fine from his post, instead of naming the EPA inspector general to serve as the temporary Pentagon watchdog in addition to his other responsibilities.
That decision, which began circulating on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning, effectively removed Fine from his role overseeing the coronavirus relief effort, since the new law permits only current inspectors general to fill the position.“Mr. Fine is no longer on the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee,” Dwrena Allen, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon inspector general’s office, confirmed.
Fine’s removal is Trump’s latest incursion into the community of independent federal watchdogs — punctuated most dramatically by his late Friday ouster of the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, whose handling of a whistle-blower report ultimately led to Trump’s impeachment.
Trump has also begun sharply attacking Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm, following a report from her office that described widespread testing delays and supply issues at the nation’s hospitals.“Another Fake Dossier!” Trump tweeted, mentioning Grimm’s tenure as inspector general during the Obama administration. He didn’t mention, though, that Grimm has been serving as a federal watchdog since 1999, spanning administrations of both parties.
Trump’s targeting of Atkinson drew an unusual rebuke from Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Justice Department who also oversees a council of inspectors general. Horowitz said Atkison handled the whistle-blower matter appropriately and defended the broader IG community.
“The Inspector General Community will continue to conduct aggressive, independent oversight of the agencies that we oversee,” he said in a statement after Atkinson’s ouster. Atkinson, too, issued a lengthy statement Saturday accusing Trump of removing him for following whistleblower laws.
Lawmakers were given notice Tuesday that Trump had designated Sean O’Donnell, the inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency, to take over the Pentagon watchdog’s office in addition to his current post. That designation negated Fine’s appointment to the coronavirus oversight panel.
“Yesterday, the President nominated Mr. Jason Abend for the position of DoD Inspector General,” Allen said. “The same day, the President also designated Mr. Sean W. O’Donnell, who is the Environmental Protection Agency Inspector General (EPA IG), to serve as the Acting DoD IG in addition to his current duties at the EPA.”
The new coronavirus law includes multiple layers of oversight, the most powerful of which is the panel of inspectors general given wide latitude to probe any aspect of its implementation. Fine was named by fellow inspectors general to lead that panel just last week. Now, his colleagues will be forced to make a new selection.
Fine had been the acting Pentagon watchdog since early 2016 after joining the Defense Department inspector general’s office in 2015 during the Obama administration. He was previously the Justice Department’s inspector general from 2000 to 2011, spanning three administrations of both parties.
Current and Former Health Officials, Physicians, and Scientific Experts Sign Letter Denouncing White House Attacks on NIAID Director
by Center for Science in the Public Interest
Nearly 3,500 of the nation’s leading public health experts are speaking out against White House attacks on National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and are calling on President Donald Trump not to sideline science or scientists as the country continues to reel from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The signers include two former Commissioners of the Food and Drug Administration, two former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a former Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, a former Surgeon General, several leading medical journal editors, and hundreds of the nation’s most prominent physicians, researchers, and public health experts.
The open letter to President Trump was drafted by former FDA Associate Commissioner Dr. Peter Lurie, now President of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and epidemiologist and longtime AIDS activist Gregg Gonsalves, now of Yale School of Public Health, who began circulating the open letter on Friday evening.
“This week and last, the White House mounted a campaign to discredit one of our nation’s leading scientific experts, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has advised six Presidents on epidemics….read more:

The reported collision comes days after a US assassination strike on a jihadist trainer based in Idlib, Abu Yahyah al-Uzbeki, who was alleged to work alongside the Al-Qaeda-linked Hurras ad-Din group. The strike is believed to have used an R9X Hellfire missile, a special non-explosive munition that unleashes six sword-like blades before impact – dubbed the “ninja bomb.”

Though Damascus has repeatedly slammed the American presence in Syria as illegal and a violation of the country’s sovereignty, Washington continues military operations in several regions, carrying out intermittent strikes around Idlib and embedding soldiers with Arab and Kurdish proxy groups in the south and northeast.
