Why do humans have such large brains ?
This evolutionary mystery has challenged scientists for ages , but some researchers are using genetics , specifically those genes that can only be found in Homo sapiens , for an answer .
ARHGAP11B , a gene found only in humans , is known for its role in expanding neocortex , the part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions such as language and planning .
In experiments detailed in a new study published today in the journal Science , researchers inserted the gene into the fetuses of marmosets , who , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t carry the gene .
The team found that after 101 days , the neocortices of the monkeys ’ developing brains were larger and had more folds in the tissue than normal monkey fetuses without the gene .
Having more folds in this part of the brain is important because those folds increase the surface area available for brain cells , or neurons , without making the brain too big for the skull .
Demonstrating that the human gene fulfills a similar purpose in the brain of another primate provides new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and may point the way to future treatments for brain disease .

Brain Gene Tops the List for Making Humans, Human
by Courtney Sexton/Smithsonianmag.com
Why do humans have such large brains? This evolutionary mystery has challenged scientists for ages, but some researchers are using genetics, specifically those genes that can only be found in Homo sapiens, for an answer.
ARHGAP11B, a gene found only in humans, is known for its role in expanding neocortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions such as language and planning. In experiments detailed in a new study published today in the journal Science, researchers inserted the gene into the fetuses of marmosets, who, like humans, are primates, but don’t carry the gene. The team found that after 101 days, the neocortices of the monkeys’ developing brains were larger and had more folds in the tissue than normal monkey fetuses without the gene.
Having more folds in this part of the brain is important because those folds increase the surface area available for brain cells, or neurons, without making the brain too big for the skull. Demonstrating that the human gene fulfills a similar purpose in the brain of another primate provides new insight into how humans may have evolved and may point the way to future treatments for brain disease.

Contrail Science

Well , it looks like the cat is out the bag .
The secret government has slipped up and allowed the release of a History Channel special that spills the beans on the whole Chemtrail program !
Several clips from this show are available on youtube : The unfortunate thing about the show is that , regarding “ chemtrails ” it ’ s all theory and zero facts .
Far from “ validating ” any chemtrail theory , the show simply repeats the theory .
What ’ s more it ’ s basically just a platform for William Thomas to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been spouting for the last ten years , totally ignoring both science and common sense .
For Example : Thomas : I think most of us in North America have been wondering about these plumes criss-crossing the sky in grid patterns , rows , and the now-familiar X ’ s , and many of us have wondered what these trails are .
Well , actually no – most people don ’ t wonder what these plumes are .
And for those that do , we know EXACTLY what they are .
They are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and time again , with vast amounts of scientific and historical evidence behind the explanation .

Contrail Science – Well, it looks like the cat is out of the bag. The secret government has slipped up and allowed the release of a History Channel special that spills the beans on the whole Chemtrail program!
Several clips from this show are available on youtube:
The unfortunate thing about the show is that regarding “chemtrails” it’s all theory and zero facts. Far from “validating” any chemtrail theory, the show simply repeats the theory.
What’s more, it’s basically just a platform for William Thomas to repeat the same nonsense he’s been spouting for the last ten years, totally ignoring both science and common sense. For Example:
Thomas: I think most of us in North America have been wondering about these plumes crisscrossing the sky in grid patterns, rows, and the now-familiar X’s, and many of us have wondered what these trails are.
Well, actually no – most people don’t wonder what these plumes are. And for those that do, we know EXACTLY what they are. They are contrails. This has been explained time and time again, with vast amounts of scientific and historical evidence behind the explanation. What evidence does Thomas give? None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
In fact, Thomas’s entire theory is based on a simple misconception that he continues to repeat over and over, totally ignoring all evidence to the contrary. He claims that “normal” contrails vanish in a few seconds, and that “chemtrails” last for hours. This is demonstrably untrue. Contrails last for a varying amount of time-based on the weather at the altitude they form. They can last for hours, and spread out to cover the sky. Any book on clouds will tell you this, and spreading contrails have been observed since 1921.
Yet Thomas manages to get his nonsense into the show:
VO: They first appear to be simply contrails, coming from high flying jet airplanes. But these trails linger in the sky for many hours, some for even an entire day, forming an artificial cloud
It seems that, like Thomas, the writers of the show chose to ignore the fact that THIS IS WHAT CONTRAILS SOMETIMES DO!!
You simply need to read the Encyclopædia Britannica article on vapor trails (contrails):
Contrail, streamer of cloud sometimes observed behind an airplane flying in the clear, cold, humid air. It forms upon condensation of the water vapor produced by the combustion of fuel in the airplane engines. When the ambient relative humidity is high, the resulting ice-crystal plume may last for several hours. The trail may be distorted by the winds, and sometimes it spreads outwards to form a layer of cirrus cloud.
Read “A Field Guide to the Atmosphere“, by Schaefer and Day, 1981:
“Sometimes [contrails] are ephemeral and dissipate as quickly as they form; other times they persist and grow wide enough to cover a substantial portion of the sky with a sheet of cirrostratus“ (Page 137)
Or read, all these articles on contrails. In particular, the one titled “Airborne Observations of Contrail Effects on the Thermal Radiation Budget“, from 1970:
The spreading of jet contrails into extensive cirrus sheets is a familiar sight. Often, when persistent contrails exist from 25,000 to 40,000 ft, several long contrails increase in number and gradually merge into an almost solid interlaced sheet.
Contrail development and spreading begins in the morning hours with the start of heavy jet traffic and may extend from horizon to horizon as the air traffic peaks. Fig. 1 is a typical example of midmorning contrails that occurred on 17 December 1969 northwest of Boulder. By midafternoon, sky conditions had developed into those shown in Fig. 2 an almost solid contrail sheet reported to average 500 m in depth.

The History Channel is an entertainment channel, pure and simple. They do shows on UFOs, Psychics, Ancient Astronauts, etc, all without any real pretense of being scientifically objective. They want an entertaining story, and if that means ignoring the facts, and interviewing on the people with the most entertaining theory.
I’m sorry that “It’s just Contrails” is a boring theory. But it’s the only theory that actually has ANY science behind it.


veteranstoday--2020-06-21--The Shooting Of Rayshard Brooks

The Shooting Of Rayshard Brooks

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard ’ s decision to charge officers Garrett Rolfe and Devin Brosnan was clearly political , no offense intended .
The decision to charge Garrett Rolfe with felony murder was particularly egregious .
Howard is clearly backing Joe Biden in November and was hoping to pile pressure on the President , who by the way does know where Finland is !
( He once cut a deal in Helsinki – I ’ m pretty sure he knew which country he was in ! )
Let us review the facts , dispassionately , that is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bunch of left-wing loonies , no offense intended .
An African-American on probation for child cruelty offenses ( not your average family man then ) , Rayshard Brooks , decided to have a few drinks on his young daughter ’ s birthday and go out to his local Wendy ’ s for a delicious burger , possibly with fries .
Sadly he never made it , so we don ’ t exactly know what he had in mind for his last meal .
He was sufficiently intoxicated to fall asleep , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sent for , unsurprisingly , since he was holding up the sober customers .
He was initially polite and cooperative with the officers , then he failed a breathaylzer test , by some margin .
( He was about one-third over . )
Possibly influenced by the paranoid MSM reporting of the still-unexplained death of poor George Floyd in Minneapolis , Rayshard overreacted , wrestled the officers to the grounds and decided to punch one of them .
He then seized one of the officer ’ s Tasers and decided that it would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the general direction of the officers .
One of them , Garrett Rolfe , fired back , three times , hitting Rayshard twice in the back .
At least one of the officers seems to have administered CPR , but sadly the gunshot wounds were fatal and there was nothing that the officers or anyone else could do .
Garrett Rolfe was fired by the Atlanta Police Department before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation ( that ’ s the GBI , not the FBI ) had completed its investigation into the shooting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ APD officers , unsurprisingly , are staying away from work in large numbers .
Rioters then decided to burn down the Wendy bar , as though the Wendy staff had shot Rayshard Brooks .
( Even in Georgia it ’ s a bit unusual to have armed staff behind the counter in a Wendy ’ s ) .
I ’ ve heard of flame-grilled burgers , but very frankly that was taking things to extremes .
I intend no offense to the memory of the late Rayshard Brooks when I say that his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer ’ s conducted energy weapon might well have got him shot in Vermont , never mind Georgia .
Attorneys for the Brooks family , BLM activists and others are going around claiming that a Taser is a non-lethal weapon , which is not strictly true , indeed around 1,000 suspects have been killed with Tasers .
They ’ re less-lethal , not non-lethal .
The left are missing the point , with respect – the problem for an armed officer facing a Taser is not necessarily that he might be killed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue then becomes what happens to the officer ’ s firearm .
There are disputes of fact about how many times the Taser was fired and what it ’ s ‘ magazine ’ capacity was .
Some Tasers , like the X3 , can fire three shots .
Newer versions , like the X7 , can only fire two , but with improved accuracy .
There is no dispute that Officer Rolfe was within Taser range when he fired back .
I seriously doubt that a Georgia jury is going to bring in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s far from clear that either officer committed any offense at all .
Rayshard Brooks was shot whilst resisting arrest .
He would still be alive today had he continued to cooperate with the officers .
I doubt that the boys at the State Board of Pardons and Paroles encourage their parolees to add DUIs to their rap sheet .
( Massachusetts maybe , but not Georgia . )
Therefore Rayshard may have been looking at some jail time , but at least he would have been alive .
Nothing has emerged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ review my position on the death of George Floyd .
I still think that causation is going to be a problem for the prosecution .
I ’ ve not yet commented on the shooting of shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick GA on Feb 23rd .
I don ’ t think that we ’ ve yet had the full story .
I ’ m far from convinced that Gregory and Travis McMichael are racists .
It ’ s difficult to believe that it ’ s a coincidence that Gregory McMichael was a recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As presently advised I ’ m not buying the “ Ahmaud was an innocent African-American jogger out for a jog ” line being pushed by black activists and the MSM .
With every respect to the McMichaels it ’ s not entirely clear to me that lethal force was necessary to secure a citizen ’ s arrest , which seems to be what they were doing , or thought they were doing .
At the same time there may well have been justification for an arrest .
In fairness the death toll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been fairly low until now , but that all changed yesterday evening .
A couple of hours after a BLM demo ended in Forbury Gardens , a pleasant little spot , even though it ’ s in Reading , a 25 year old Libyan Moslem on probation , named today as Khairi Saadallah , ran into the gardens waving a large knife , shouting something which may well turn out to have been “ Allahu Akbar ” .
He then proceeded to stab people , sadly killing three of them .
It took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declare it a terrorist incident .
With every respect they were a bit slow on the uptake , not that many people were buying “ this is just an everyday stabbing with multiple fatalities at the site of a BLM demo type incident ” after the SAS turned up , in police uniforms of course , to raid the man ’ s flat .
The next question is who the Libyan ’ s accomplices were .
I doubt that he turned up on a Number 800 bus – I think they have rules @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
No , I ’ m not referring to his press briefing .
I ’ m referring to the incident on Wednesday when an alleged Kurdish protestor tried to run in front of his ministerial Jaguar , which was then shunted from behind by a police Range Rover .
The timing is interesting , coming only three months after the failed assassination attempts in March on the PM and Dominic Cummings , with less than 14 days to go before the EU transition agreement deadline .
The Kurd in question was stopped by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in front of the PM ’ s Jag .
It is highly unusual for a vehicle in a protection detail to ram the principal .
Watch this space .
It is unclear at this time whether this was an ordinary case of the Prime Minister ’ s official automobile being rammed or something more sinister .
Questions are being asked , by the way , about how much the SNP leadership in Edinburgh knew about the March attempt .
They were desperate for an extension to the transition period .
Politics in Scotland @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the reasons why we had to knock off Mary , Queen of Scots ( after a fair trial , of course ) , who was even more of a nuisance than Nicola Sturgeon , no offense intended .
We know from the Piper Alpha cover-up that the SNP approves of mass-murder in principle .
There is no point the SNP saying ‘ we didn ’ t know about the plan to blow up the oil rig until afterwards ’ .
I ’ m sure they didn ’ t .
The point is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a mass-murder you can ’ t thereafter be heard to say that you disapprove of mass-murder .
One sign of whether a dodgy political party is under pressure or not is the number of its MPs who start dying from stress-related illnesses , or who decide to have a stroke or a heart attack .
An SNP MP close to party leader Nicola Sturgeon sadly suffered a cerebrovascular incident the week before last .
It will be interesting to see if there are more .
This week has seen the announcement of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Development , the silly government department set up by Tony Blair .
Sensibly , the PM just announced the decision rather than have it put on the agenda for discussion by the Cabinet .
Since , with the honorable exception of Home Secretary Priti Patel , the Cabinet consists of house-trained idiots , no offense intended , all that a Cabinet discussion would have ensured was the rehearsing of nonsense trotted out by officials .
Whilst the nonsense would have been official it would still nonetheless have been nonsense .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poverty in the Third World , reducing inequality and doing good .
Obviously those can ’ t be the real reasons for the policy , otherwise they would have never have found their way into official pronouncements .
( I ’ m not saying that it ’ s impossible for a Cabinet Office statement to be true – all I ’ m saying is that there is a lack of precedent for it . )
The real purpose of overseas aid is to bankroll Third World dictatorships and institutionalize poverty by ensuring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s important to remember that there are no meaningful checks on what happens to the money once it arrives in Africa , the South Pacific or wherever .
There are checks on what happens to the money eventually of course .
The occasional well has to be dug in the occasional village in order to fool Cabinet Ministers , journalists , MPs and other naïfs into believing that something is actually being achieved .
There are no checks whatsoever on what happens to the cash before it ’ s spent .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would give the game away .
It ’ s usually left in the account and blocked .
A line of credit in an equivalent amount is then opened up offshore , leveraged and traded in the offshore money markets , with the lending and trading banks making nice profits as well .
There are four major problems with this : ( 1 ) It increases the rewards for being in control of a country ’ s treasury , encouraging coups , civil wars and instability – most Third World countries are about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) The offshore profits are not disclosed so the country in question loses out on the tax revenues .
( 3 ) Offshore trading programs are controlled from Frankfurt , so the Third World leaders in question are beholden to Germany or German clients such as the PRC , and Third World leaders laugh all the way to the bank , whilst ignorant Western policy-makers , if that is not a tautology , are left puzzled as to why throwing large amounts of cash at the problem have failed to solve it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hosing gasoline on them sometimes have the same difficulty .
With almost casual cruelty German police have notified the Met by letter that they believe that Madeleine McCann is dead .
The McCanns themselves were left largely in the dark .
That is not the way these things should be done .
When trying to get messages through to the poor parents I always relied upon someone sympathetic , not that it mattered , since they bought into crude Leicestershire Police smears about me .
Since Madeleine is not only dead , sadly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves , they ought to know .
There is no need , however , to add to the cruelty they have already inflicted upon the parents by rubbing it in .
There are also the twins to consider .
The Portuguese Police seem to agree that poor little Madeleine is dead , but they think that they she was murdered in Portugal , which is silly , since she was reliably sighted in three different countries after being taken out of Portugal and never went back there .
They want Christian Brueckner tried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much chance of Brueckner getting a fair trial in Germany , sadly .
They don ’ t do fair trials in Germany – they ’ re just not a German thing .
Looks like the FDA are backing Biden in November , always assuming that he can still remember which office he ’ s running for and who he ’ s running against .
Their decision on Hydroxychloriquine looks political to me .
There ’ s an interesting article on the UK trial by Tina Brooker on Unity News Network : https : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported – and so far as I know the article has not been denied – this is a scandal , implicating the WHO as well as the Cabinet Office , which effectively controls the NHS .
No one recommending the use of Hydroxychloriquine was arguing for the administration of fatal doses .
It rather looks as though the UK trial was distorted by massive over-dosing , leading to a number of patient deaths .
I suspect that the last thing we will see in the cases of these deaths are proper Coroner ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if we did they might prove interesting !
It rather looks to me as though the Cabinet Office have some questions to answer .
In the meantime I would advise any foreign government considering acting on the results of the UK trial to press for detailed information on dosing , together with precise details of what other drugs were administered in conjunction with the Hydroxychloriquine .
The most reliable clinical trial still appears to be the Marseilles trial in France .
Well done the President for firing Geoffrey Berman , the with respect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ District of New York , who made such a spectacle of himself in respect of HRH the Duke of York .
Berman had to go .
Entirely coincidentally , as followers of my Twitter feed will know , I wrote to the Attorney-General on June 9th urging Mr Berman ’ s dismissal , on the grounds both of discourtesy towards HRH in his public statements and with respect unethical conduct .
Since I never received a reply I am not for one moment asserting that my letter had any effect .
Let ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
The desperately sad news of Dame Vera ’ s untimely passing was received on Thursday .
The poor girl was only 103 .
Few artistes in history have had the impact that Dame Vera , the Forces Sweetheart , did .
She not only entertained the troops , in the nicest possible way , but she shared their dangers .
Getting to Egypt , India and Burma in the middle of World War II was no joke , and Dame Vera was a high value target for both the Germans and Japanese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2009 , with a compilation album , no mean feat at the age of 92 .
Her wartime performances will always be remembered and will always be associated with our brave defiance of the Nazi .
God rest her soul .
A State Funeral would not be inappropriate .

Nothing has emerged since last week to cause me to review my position on the death of George Floyd. I still think that causation is going to be a problem for the prosecution.
I’ve not yet commented on the shooting of shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick GA on Feb 23rd. I don’t think that we’ve yet had the full story. I’m far from convinced that Gregory and Travis McMichael are racists. It’s difficult to believe that it’s a coincidence that Gregory McMichael was a recently retired investigator for Glynn County Police Department. As presently advised I’m not buying the “Ahmaud was an innocent African-American jogger out for a jog” line being pushed by black activists and the MSM.
With every respect to the McMichaels it’s not entirely clear to me that lethal force was necessary to secure a citizen’s arrest, which seems to be what they were doing, or thought they were doing. At the same time there may well have been justification for an arrest.
The Forbury Gardens Terrorist Attack
In fairness the death toll at BLM demos in the UK has been fairly low until now, but that all changed yesterday evening. A couple of hours after a BLM demo ended in Forbury Gardens, a pleasant little spot, even though it’s in Reading, a 25 year old Libyan Moslem on probation, named today as Khairi Saadallah, ran into the gardens waving a large knife, shouting something which may well turn out to have been “Allahu Akbar”. He then proceeded to stab people, sadly killing three of them.
It took Thames Valley Police until this morning to declare it a terrorist incident. With every respect they were a bit slow on the uptake, not that many people were buying “this is just an everyday stabbing with multiple fatalities at the site of a BLM demo type incident” after the SAS turned up, in police uniforms of course, to raid the man’s flat. The next question is who the Libyan’s accomplices were. I doubt that he turned up on a Number 800 bus – I think they have rules about carrying knives onto buses in Reading.
The Johnson Car Crash
No, I’m not referring to his last press briefing. I’m referring to the incident on Wednesday when an alleged Kurdish protestor tried to run in front of his ministerial Jaguar, which was then shunted from behind by a police Range Rover.
The timing is interesting, coming only three months after the failed assassination attempts in March on the PM and Dominic Cummings, with less than 14 days to go before the EU transition agreement deadline. The Kurd in question was stopped by police before he was able to get in front of the PM’s Jag. It is highly unusual for a vehicle in a protection detail to ram the principal.

Questions are being asked, by the way, about how much the SNP leadership in Edinburgh knew about the March attempt. They were desperate for an extension to the transition period. Politics in Scotland have always been fairly bloody, one of the reasons why we had to knock off Mary, Queen of Scots (after a fair trial, of course), who was even more of a nuisance than Nicola Sturgeon, no offense intended.

An SNP MP close to party leader Nicola Sturgeon sadly suffered a cerebrovascular incident the week before last. It will be interesting to see if there are more.
Abolition of DFID
This week has seen the announcement of the long-overdue abolition of the Department for International Development, the silly government department set up by Tony Blair. Sensibly, the PM just announced the decision rather than have it put on the agenda for discussion by the Cabinet. Since, with the honorable exception of Home Secretary Priti Patel, the Cabinet consists of house-trained idiots, no offense intended, all that a Cabinet discussion would have ensured was the rehearsing of nonsense trotted out by officials. Whilst the nonsense would have been official it would still nonetheless have been nonsense.
According to the Cabinet Office overseas aid is about addressing poverty in the Third World, reducing inequality and doing good. Obviously those can’t be the real reasons for the policy, otherwise they would have never have found their way into official pronouncements. (I’m not saying that it’s impossible for a Cabinet Office statement to be true – all I’m saying is that there is a lack of precedent for it.)
The real purpose of overseas aid is to bankroll Third World dictatorships and institutionalize poverty by ensuring the continued Chinese domination of Africa. It’s important to remember that there are no meaningful checks on what happens to the money once it arrives in Africa, the South Pacific or wherever.
There are checks on what happens to the money eventually of course. The occasional well has to be dug in the occasional village in order to fool Cabinet Ministers, journalists, MPs and other naïfs into believing that something is actually being achieved. There are no checks whatsoever on what happens to the cash before it’s spent.
It never leaves the account of course – that would give the game away. It’s usually left in the account and blocked. A line of credit in an equivalent amount is then opened up offshore, leveraged and traded in the offshore money markets, with the lending and trading banks making nice profits as well.
There are four major problems with this:
(1) It increases the rewards for being in control of a country’s treasury, encouraging coups, civil wars and instability – most Third World countries are about as stable as Scotland.
(2) The offshore profits are not disclosed so the country in question loses out on the tax revenues.
(3) Offshore trading programs are controlled from Frankfurt, so the Third World leaders in question are beholden to Germany or German clients such as the PRC, and
(4) The money supply in the countries in question is increased, leading to higher inflation, or, depending upon the amount traded, hyper-inflation, such as in Zimbabwe. (Central banks are usually chasing inflation when they print currency, not causing it.)
Third World leaders laugh all the way to the bank, whilst ignorant Western policy-makers, if that is not a tautology, are left puzzled as to why throwing large amounts of cash at the problem has failed to solve it. Firefighters trying to put out fires by hosing gasoline on them sometimes have the same difficulty.
Developments in the McCann Case
With almost casual cruelty German police have notified the Met by letter that they believe that Madeleine McCann is dead. The McCanns themselves were left largely in the dark. That is not the way these things should be done. When trying to get messages through to the poor parents I always relied upon someone sympathetic, not that it mattered, since they bought into crude Leicestershire Police smears about me.
Since Madeleine is not only dead, sadly, but was killed by the Germans themselves, they ought to know. There is no need, however, to add to the cruelty they have already inflicted upon the parents by rubbing it in. There are also the twins to consider.
The Portuguese Police seem to agree that poor little Madeleine is dead, but they think that they she was murdered in Portugal, which is silly, since she was reliably sighted in three different countries after being taken out of Portugal and never went back there. They want Christian Brueckner tried in Portugal.
There’s not much chance of Brueckner getting a fair trial in Germany, sadly. They don’t do fair trials in Germany – they’re just not a German thing.
Hydroxychloriquine
Looks like the FDA are backing Biden in November, always assuming that he can still remember which office he’s running for and who he’s running against. Their decision on Hydroxychloriquine looks political to me.
There’s an interesting article on the UK trial by Tina Brooker on Unity News Network:https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/the-hydroxychloroquine-scandal-a-crime-against-humanity.
If the dosages are as reported – and so far as I know the article has not been denied – this is a scandal, implicating the WHO as well as the Cabinet Office, which effectively controls the NHS. No one recommending the use of Hydroxychloriquine was arguing for the administration of fatal doses.
It seems that the UK trial was distorted by massive over-dosing, leading to a number of patient deaths. I suspect that the last thing we will see in the cases of these deaths are proper Coroner’s inquests with a jury, but if we did they might prove interesting!
It rather looks to me as though the Cabinet Office have some questions to answer. In the meantime I would advise any foreign government considering acting on the results of the UK trial to press for detailed information on dosing, together with precise details of what other drugs were administered in conjunction with the Hydroxychloriquine. The most reliable clinical trial still appears to be the Marseilles trial in France.
Geoffrey Berman
Well done the President for firing Geoffrey Berman, the with respect impertinent ex US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who made such a spectacle of himself in respect of HRH the Duke of York. Berman had to go.
Entirely coincidentally, as followers of my Twitter feed will know, I wrote to the Attorney-General on June 9th urging Mr Berman’s dismissal, on the grounds both of discourtesy towards HRH in his public statements and, with respect, unethical conduct. Since I never received a reply I am not for one moment asserting that my letter had any effect. Let’s just call it a happy coincidence!
Dame Vera Lynn CH DBE
The desperately sad news of Dame Vera’s untimely passing was received on Thursday. The poor girl was only 103.
Few artistes in history have had the impact that Dame Vera, the Forces Sweetheart, did. She not only entertained the troops, in the nicest possible way, but she shared their dangers. Getting to Egypt, India and Burma in the middle of World War II was no joke, and Dame Vera was a high value target for both the Germans and Japanese.
She last topped the UK charts in 2009, with a compilation album, no mean feat at the age of 92. Her wartime performances will always be remembered and will always be associated with our brave defiance of the Nazi. God rest her soul. A State Funeral would not be inappropriate.


veteranstoday--2020-06-21--Tony Fauci is Corrupt to the Core!

Tony Fauci is Corrupt to the Core!

VT looked at Ken McCarthy and found two issues , one of course that anything he states in this interview ever happened and the second , that McCarthy seems to be “ self created ” around a very strange Wikipedia ( read it yourself to see how “ strange ” it is -KB ) which appears to be an advertisement .
Then again , if you are in advertising , you don ’ t have to be real nor , it seems does a single word you say either .
-Gordon Duff , whose background is far more “ real @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McCarthy ’ s ( Kevin being sarcastic ) Listen to the full interview HERE Is Anthony Fauci one of the most institutionally corrupt individuals of our time ?
That ’ s what today ’ s Truth Jihad Radio guest , Ken McCarthy , says .
Ken McCarthy , an early Internet commercialization pioneer who specializes in seeing what ’ s hidden in plain sight .
He tracks what he calls the CoVid Con and other atrocities at Brasscheck.com/video “ The two great experts on Tony Fauci , unfortunately , are deceased .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis .
And he was very outspoken about Fauchi as a fraudulent scientist .
And then there was a great gay rights activist journalist named Terry Michael who who could really get into the mechanics of Tony ’ s various con jobs .
Unfortunately , they ’ re passed away .
So I ’ m standing on the shoulders of giants .
But I ’ m also just reading the newspaper .
“ One of Tony Fauci ’ s jobs is bioweapons .
He has a whole division @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s called biodefense .
A lovely euphemism !
And when we had the potential smallpox attack—around 9/11 , there was a fear that the bad guys were going to hit us with smallpox—he was charged with coming up with a smallpox vaccine and deploying it .
” And so he is a biowarfare guy .
It ’ s one of the reasons he ’ s been he ’ s been protected for so long .
“ Let ’ s let ’ s get to some just plain vanilla stuff that I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t talk about when it comes to Tony Fauci .
The first one may not be a big secret because it comes up a lot , but it merits meditation upon .
And that is that this guy has had the same federal job for thirty six years .
It ’ ll be 37 years this year he ’ s had the same job in the federal bureaucracy .
That is unusual .
That means you ’ ve had to survive many different presidents , many different parties , many different regimes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s always there .
Now , I only know one other guy that pulled that off in American history : J. Edgar Hoover .
“ We ’ re talking deep state .
Fauci survives because he does what the deep state wants him to do .
He ’ s also a superb politician .
And that ’ s very important .
He ’ s got an M.D .
degree .
But the idea he ’ s a physician is a joke .
The idea that he ’ s a scientist is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mullis hadn ’ t passed away last summer because he could really be talking to this .
Fauci is not a scientist .
What he is is just a world class bureaucrat .
And that ’ s why he has survived for 36 years .
That and the fact that he does what deep state people would like him to do .
“ Now , here ’ s a little trivia question .
And you would think in our money mad culture , this would have come out .
There are two million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government as employees .
Who do you think the third highest paid employee in the entire federal bureaucracy is ?
It ’ s Tony Fauci .
Now , how do you bury that ?
That ’ s just a factoid you ’ d think somebody would come out with .
Of two million people , he ’ s not in the top one percent of the one percent .
( He ’ s in the .00015 percent ! )
“ He also has another little side gig , which is he is allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speaking , for making appearances .
He gets all kinds of awards .
And it all goes to , you know , Tony Fauci , his hip pocket bank .
There ’ s no law against him receiving honorariums even when the group giving him money is a group that ’ s funded by him .
So , for instance , the Albany Medical Center gave him half a million dollars for ‘ science innovation.
’ Now , it just happens that Albany Medical Center lives on on NIH grants .
“ Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very important , which is AIDS .
And we could do several shows on AIDS , but we ’ ll just stick to the plain vanilla facts .
Over half a trillion , over five hundred billion dollars , has been spent on AIDS research since 1981 .
It dwarfs all other illnesses per capita .
It ’ s not even close .
And the guy that ’ s been in control of that—and this may be why he kept the job and didn ’ t try something else—has pretty much been Tony @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power .
In the medical research world and the scientific research world , it ’ s not like you have an infinite number of potential markets .
There are only a few sources of money .
One of them is the NIH .
It ’ s a hugely important source .
And this has been the source of Tony Fauci ’ s personal power , which is extreme .
So if you ’ re a medical researcher or a bio-researcher and you want to have a career , you want to put food @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a row , you better not make this man mad , or write about or talk about or publish anything that ’ s not part of his agenda , or your career is over .
“ The great esteemed virologist Peter Duesberg of UC Berkeley , who is one of the great scientists of our age , was literally hounded ( out of his career ) .
He had his tenure .
He was highly regarded all over the world .
But he still needed funding and Fauci made sure that Duisburg got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questioning the HIV causes AIDS formula .
“ Basically , anybody that wants to have a career knows—it ’ s very clear—you don ’ t cross Tony Fauci or you don ’ t have a career any more .
So that ’ s all the science researchers and medical researchers in the United States and the world .
Universities , same thing .
They are entirely dependent on grants for research .
So they ’ re not going to be happy if one of their professors stands up and starts questioning the science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s got all the universities in his pocket .
“ And then if you ’ re an aspiring bureaucrat and you want to be a health commissioner of a state—which , by the way , is one of the best paid jobs in state government .
It ’ s very , very common for the state health commissioner to be getting three hundred thousand dollars or more per annum .
And interestingly enough , a lot of these guys really have no public health degrees .
The guy that ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now is a member of Council of Foreign Relations .
He ’ s an anesthesiologist specializing in pediatric cardiology .
* But he has absolutely no training in epidemiology , and yet he ’ s the person making all the decisions for New York State .
And these decisions he ’ s making are quite catastrophic .
So if you want a job like that without having proper qualifications , it ’ s good to have Tony Fauci vouching for you .
“ So speaking of New York State and speaking of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came and went really fast .
But Chris Cuomo apparently had COVID .
And there was a little thing on CNN and it it came up and then it disappeared really fast .
But I recorded it .
It was Chris Cuomo praising and thanking Fauci for calling him every single day of the week personally .
Think about that .
We ’ ve got a newscaster on CNN getting personal calls from Tony Fauci .
Now , who ’ s his brother ?
Andrew Cuomo .
“ One of the things that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” I ’ ve known you guys since you were kids.
” And that ’ s true .
Mario Cuomo and Tony Fauci know each other very well .
We ’ ve talked about researchers loving Tony Fauci ’ s money .
Well , government officials love AIDS money .
There ’ s a lot of it .
It ’ s distributed very liberally .
And New York State got a whole bunch of it .
And I ’ m sure it ’ s still getting a whole bunch of it .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the the fantastic propagandist .
Tony Fauci would give Dr. Goebbels a run for his money .
Well , Tony Fauci ’ s accomplished something not too dissimilar .
So one thing that a an investigative journalist could do , if they would get the doughnut out of their mouth and actually do some work—and none of them do—is just to look at the enormous size of the bureaucracy that is Tony Fauci , his personal domain .
He has eight separate divisions that he ’ s running .
One of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which I mentioned earlier .
Now , here ’ s where it gets important .
Each one of these divisions has its own communications director .
And the office of the director , which is Tony Fauci , has a communications director and a deputy director .
So that that is ten , count them , ten full time guys whose only job is to spout the Tony Fauci party line .
“ And that ’ s just the directors .
I don ’ t know how many staff people there are .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that ’ s not easy to find out .
But the directors they do disclose .
But let ’ s say it ’ s just 10 guys , 40 hours a week .
That means he has four hundred hours a week every week , 52 weeks a year to tell the Tony Fauci story .
“ Who ’ s on the other side of that ?
Who is countering Tony Fauci ’ s story ?
” ( Kevin Barrett : “ Truth Jihad Radio !
” ) “ Right .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve got 400 hours a week from guys whose whole bread and butter is to promote and defend this guy .
And then we have us , the ragtag irregulars , fighting a guerrilla action .
You know who ’ s going to win ?
Now it gets even worse because he ’ s been at this for 36 years .
So he ’ s got a Rolodex .
So if you or I pick up the phone and want to talk to Chris Cuomo or to anybody in the news media , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pick up the phone , let alone return our call .
Everybody ’ s going to return Tony ’ s call .
So not only does he have the manpower to just pump out propaganda nonstop , he also has , you know , a thick Rolodex of people that are ready , willing and able to talk to him within the journalism world .
“ You occasionally have a science and medical writer that will that will go up against Fauci .
Believe it or not , the former Times of London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did some looking into the whole AIDS story , found it suspect scientifically , and started to speak out about it .
Well , he ’ s not employed any more .
“ So Fauci has a lot of control over who ’ s going to be the medical and science correspondent of various newspapers and magazines .
But it ’ s even worse than that because 95 % of the people reporting on the COVID story are liberal arts grads .
They studied Russian literature or English composition or whatever .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which means they ’ re very easy to snow .
“ I was in Princeton University ’ s undergraduate neuroscience program in the late 70s before it was co-opted by the pharma industry .
And I did not get my degree in that after all .
But I was in the program .
I ’ m not a super scientist , but I do know my way around chemistry and biology and anatomy and physiology .
And I ’ m not easily bullshitted .
However , most of the people that are writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that is a real big , serious problem .
“ Now , the other problem related to this is an infrastructure problem .
If you turn on the evening news , you ’ re going to see 50 to 70 percent of the ads are pharmaceutical products .
Several network news programs are actually stamped and underwritten by pharmaceutical companies .
So you don ’ t have to be a conspiracy theorist to realize that if somebody ’ s showing up at a TV news outlet ’ s door every week with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way , you know , some industries run hot and cold in their advertising .
They ’ re going to advertise a lot at Christmas , but not a lot in August .
But the pharma guys just show up every week .
And I ’ m going to guess they don ’ t negotiate too hard on the rate card .
They ’ re probably paying the full rate .
So people think , “ oh , well , you know , they ’ re trying to get us to buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get us to to pester our doctors into prescribing these various drugs.
” And I ’ m sure that ’ s part of it .
“ But another huge part of it is—remember Archer Daniels Midland ?
” ( Kevin Barrett : “ How could we forget ?
Their name gets repeated all the time on PBS and places like that.
” ) “ Yeah .
And why ?
That ’ s payment to make sure that we never look at corn syrup and the fact that it ’ s barely corn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basically a toxic brew that creates diabetes .
“ That ’ s an interesting side story .
But it ’ s illustrative of what we ’ re talking about tonight .
My professor at at Princeton was a guy named Bart Hubbell .
He mapped the dopamine pathway in the human brain .
This guy is a significant neuroscientist .
He started doing research in the early 2000s on the impact of corn syrup on the brains of rats .
And he discovered neurological damage .
And would you believe that a ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ syrup for the masses ’ or something , started a massive letter writing saying ‘ save our corn syrup.
’ I mean , it was just ludicrous .
But the pressure was so extreme and Princeton was so craven that they basically told Professor Hubble to back off .
And he did .
So that ’ s science in America today .
And Tony Fauci is one of the main henchmen in controlling science to the negative .
“ Medical science is really fascinating .
They ’ re good at inventing diseases .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ leg syndrome , which which has a pharmaceutical cure , you ’ ll be happy to know .
We won ’ t get into the AIDS thing .
But there are people who have catastrophic collapses of their immune systems .
There ’ s absolutely no doubt about that .
It is a horrible thing to have happen .
But AIDS as we know it through the media lens is a manufactured situation .
And that ’ s Tony Fauci ’ s political base and money pump .
Half a trillion in research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve got the video of this , you can look it up—in 1984 , when he got his job from the Reagan administration with the help of George Bush , Fauci promised an AIDS vaccine , in 1984 !
It was just around the corner !
It ’ s 2020 .
We don ’ t have an AIDS vaccine , but we have spent half a trillion dollars .
“ AZT was a chemotherapy that was developed to treat a kind of cancer .
And it was determined to be too dangerous for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thanks to the hysteria they helped build around AIDS , got it reclassified .
And it was given to millions of people .
There are researchers that believe somewhere between 200,000 and 500,000 people died of AZT consumption because AZT is a mutagen .
It ’ s a carcinogen .
And it actually destroys the immune system , which is—and this is not subject to debate—that was on the warning label .
“ So fast forward to the present .
He ’ s doing the same thing with COVID .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a travesty , it ’ s such a catastrophe , it ’ s such an emergency that we ’ re gon na throw out all the normal safeguards for developing vaccines .
My understanding is one of the things they ’ ve thrown out is animal testing .
It has gone straight to people , including children .
“ And the Zika virus : There were some birth defect cases in Brazil .
Tragic , obviously .
And what nobody points out was they were all rural people living amongst these horrific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without limit .
And so they were most likely pesticide poisoning .
But they decided that it was the Zika virus , and the Zika virus was coming to America .
And I have a little clip where Fauci ’ s talking about how he met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to create a plan to help protect the United States , to repel Zika from coming to its shores .
They ’ re called virus hunters , these guys , among scientists that that follow these things.. And they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that it turns out to be a fantastic money pump for Pharma and IHSS .
“ And the ( COVID ) playbook : You have to look at where this outbreak took place .
Well , no one clearly has .
You know , that weapons grade bio lab .
No question about it .
But the thing that people seem to forget or ignore or didn ’ t know or whatever about Wuhan is it is the most polluted city on earth .
I mean , it ’ s an absolute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day on their way to work in Wuhan .
So that combined with some kind of viral problem and a less than ideal medical system could result in a lot of chaos in the hospitals .
And chaos in hospitals , overwhelmed hospitals translates into a lot of unnecessary deaths .
“ Same problem in Northern Italy .
People may not be aware of it , with Venice and all these beautiful places , that it ’ s the industrial belt of Italy , with very polluted air .
And it is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a lot of old people , really bad air quality , and they have a problem with the flu every year .
Now , this was an unusually big one , but they get overwhelmed every year .
“ Now , let ’ s go to New York City .
This is really important .
And I ’ ll do this really fast .
Cuomo put out a do-not-resuscitate order , a blanket do-not-resuscitate order , in March .
And he kept it running , I think , till about mid-April .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If somebody was out , you don ’ t do anything to bring them back .
That might have contributed to some people that could have survived dying .
“ Cuomo also ordered nursing homes to take actively contagious patients .
That went on for two months before he rescinded that one .
But the big one was the ventilators .
And this is something , again , you don ’ t have to be an investigative scientist to know .
You just have to ask a few questions .
The whole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal .
They ’ re on eight to 12 major drugs .
And we ’ re not talking about taking a pill .
We ’ re talking about , they wire you .
You ’ ve got drips of fentanyl to kill the pain of having this thing shoved down your neck .
They ’ ve got things that are paralytics which keep you from moving .
Very , very , very powerful drugs .
Do you think you get up and have lunch when you ’ re on a vent ?
No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tube .
And then you ’ ve got these ventilators pumping these people ’ s lungs at the wrong setting , which apparently happened quite a bit .
That one nurse who ’ s a former army nurse , she said that she worked in two hospitals , one in Florida , and they didn ’ t have a single ( COVID ) death .
“ And she ’ d worked in two different hospital settings and she had been a combat nurse and she knows her way around .
And she said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about it , they were putting people on those vents who were having just garden variety panic attacks—no COVID at all—in the public hospitals .
She talked about one guy , 37 years old , who came in .
She said he did not have respiratory distress .
He was having a panic attack .
And when she wasn ’ t looking , one of the residents talked him into getting on a vent .
“ All this , the pushing of the vents , the do not resuscitate , the ordering of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with healthy patients in the nursing homes—all this came out of Andrew Cuomo ’ ss office .
And we ’ ve got to look at the fact that Andrew Cuomo and Fauci are close .
( Kevin Barrett : “ It ’ s almost as if they wanted to maximize the problem.
” ) Well , you know , you would think that .
And these catastrophes happen in public hospitals .
And I have an experience of visiting somebody in a public NYC hospital once .
And they are absolute hellholes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Calcutta .
I mean , they ’ re horrible .
So I can imagine anything going on in those things .
There are people without resources .
And then , of course , we have the added thing , which is people couldn ’ t be there with with their advocates , with their families , with their friends .
You went in and you were there alone .
And God knows what would happen to you .
“ So just to sum all this up : This is not Fauci ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been pumping hysteria for 36 years .
He always gets it wrong .
He was wrong about swine flu .
He was wrong about bird flu .
He was wrong about Zika .
He was wrong about Ebola .
He wildly exaggerated AIDS .
And he always is wrong in the favor of pharmaceutical companies .
And he ’ s always wrong in favor of ‘ we ’ ve got to develop a vaccine now .
We have to throw out all the rules.
’ “ And his wife is Christine Grady , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National Institute of Health and the head of the section on Human Subject Research .
She is the person that makes decisions on what ’ s ethical to do with human subjects .
That ’ s his wife .
They ’ ve been married since 1986 .
How did the news media miss that ?
She ’ s author of a book called The Search for an AIDS Vaccine .
Somewhere in the book , she says , ‘ it ’ s the vaccines that saved humanity .
You know , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire history of modern medicine.
’ Now , I think good nutrition and and and proper sanitation were the greatest inventions of modern medicine .
“ Again , you don ’ t have to be a great investigative reporter to just say , who ’ s he married to ?
And get the name and then see what does she do for a living .
And she ’ s the person that makes the ethics calls for drug and vaccine development at the NIH .
“ So the main thing I want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been doing this for 36 years .
He controls an enormous infrastructure of propaganda and research money and media control and political control within the science and medical world .
And he always errs on the side of hysteria .
And he always errs on the side of things that are gold rushes for pharma .
That ’ s Tony Fauci.

VT looked at Ken McCarthy and found two issues, one of course that anything he states in this interview ever happened and the second, that McCarthy seems to be “self-created” around a very strange Wikipedia (read it yourself to see how “strange” it is -KB) which appears to be an advertisement.
Then again, if you are in advertising, you don’t have to be real nor, it seems does a single word you say either. -Gordon Duff, whose background is far more “real” and “transparent” than Ken McCarthy’s (Kevin being sarcastic)
Listen to the full interview HERE
Is Anthony Fauci one of the most institutionally corrupt individuals of our time? That’s what today’s Truth Jihad Radio guest, Ken McCarthy, says.
Ken McCarthy, an early Internet commercialization pioneer, specializes in seeing what’s hidden in plain sight. He offers this readily available basic information on the background of Tony Fauci in hopes of shaming professional journalists who, three-plus months into the Shutdown, have not done the first bit of research into the man’s public history and track record.
Excerpts from the interview
“The two great experts on Tony Fauci, unfortunately, are deceased. One guy that could get into the science was Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis. And he was very outspoken about Fauchi as a fraudulent scientist. And then there was a great gay rights activist journalist named Terry Michael who could really get into the mechanics of Tony’s various con jobs. Unfortunately, they’re passed away. So I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. But I’m also just reading the newspaper.
“One of Tony Fauci’s jobs is bioweapons. He has a whole division in his little unit there at NIH that’s called biodefense. A lovely euphemism! And when we had the potential smallpox attack—around 9/11, there was a fear that the bad guys were going to hit us with smallpox—he was charged with coming up with a smallpox vaccine and deploying it.
” And so he is a biowarfare guy. It’s one of the reasons he’s been protected for so long.
“Let’s get to some just plain vanilla stuff that I’m surprised the media doesn’t talk about when it comes to Tony Fauci. The first one may not be a big secret because it comes up a lot, but it merits meditation upon. And that is that this guy has had the same federal job for thirty-six years. It’ll be 37 years this year he’s had the same job in the federal bureaucracy. That is unusual. That means you’ve had to survive many different presidents, many different parties, many different regimes, many different social changes. And yet he’s always there. Now, I only know one other guy that pulled that off in American history: J. Edgar Hoover.
“We’re talking deep state. Fauci survives because he does what the deep state wants him to do. He’s also a superb politician. And that’s very important. He’s got an M.D. degree. But the idea he’s a physician is a joke. The idea that he’s a scientist is a joke. And I wish Kary Mullis hadn’t passed away last summer because he could really be talking to this. Fauci is not a scientist. What he is is just a world-class bureaucrat. And that’s why he has survived for 36 years. That and the fact that he does what deep state people would like him to do.
“Now, here’s a little trivia question. And you would think in our money-mad culture, this would have come out. There are two million people getting a paycheck from the federal government as employees. Who do you think the third highest-paid employee in the entire federal bureaucracy is? It’s Tony Fauci. Now, how do you bury that? That’s just a factoid you’d think somebody would come out with. Of two million people, he’s not in the top one percent of the one percent. (He’s in the .00015 percent!)
“He also has another little side gig, which is he is allowed and does quite frequently receive honorariums for speaking, for making appearances. He gets all kinds of awards. And it all goes to, you know, Tony Fauci, his hip pocket bank. There’s no law against him receiving honorariums even when the group giving him money is a group that’s funded by him. So, for instance, the Albany Medical Center gave him half a million dollars for ‘science innovation.’ Now, it just happens that Albany Medical Center lives on NIH grants.
“Here’s another one that’s very important, which is AIDS. And we could do several shows on AIDS, but we’ll just stick to the plain vanilla facts. Over half a trillion, over five hundred billion dollars has been spent on AIDS research since 1981. It dwarfs all other illnesses per capita. It’s not even close. And the guy that’s been in control of that—and this may be why he kept the job and didn’t try something else—has pretty much been Tony Fauci. And this gives him tremendous power. In the medical research world and the scientific research world, it’s not like you have an infinite number of potential markets. There are only a few sources of money. One of them is the NIH. It’s a hugely important source. And this has been the source of Tony Fauci’s personal power, which is extreme. So if you’re a medical researcher or a bio-researcher and you want to have a career, you want to put food on your table for 40 years in a row, you better not make this man mad, or write about or talk about or publish anything that’s not part of his agenda, or your career is over.
“The greatly esteemed virologist Peter Duesberg of UC Berkeley, who is one of the great scientists of our age, was literally hounded (out of his career). He had his tenure. He was highly regarded all over the world. But he still needed funding and Fauci made sure that Duisburg got no funding as soon as Duesberg was questioning the HIV causes AIDS formula.
“Basically, anybody that wants to have a career knows—it’s very clear—you don’t cross Tony Fauci or you don’t have a career anymore. So that’s all the scientific researchers and medical researchers in the United States and the world. Universities, same thing. They are entirely dependent on grants for research. So they’re not going to be happy if one of their professors stands up and starts questioning the science of anything Tony Fauci says. So he’s got all the universities in his pocket.
“And then if you’re an aspiring bureaucrat and you want to be a health commissioner of a state—which, by the way, is one of the best-paid jobs in state government. It’s very, very common for the state health commissioner to be getting three hundred thousand dollars or more per annum. And interestingly enough, a lot of these guys really have no public health degrees. The guy that’s running New York’s public health right now is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. He’s an anesthesiologist specializing in pediatric cardiology.* But he has absolutely no training in epidemiology, and yet he’s the person making all the decisions for New York State. And these decisions he’s making are quite catastrophic. So if you want a job like that without having proper qualifications, it’s good to have Tony Fauci vouching for you.
“So speaking of New York State and speaking of the Cuomos, this is something that came and went really fast. But Chris Cuomo apparently had COVID. And there was a little thing on CNN and it came up and then it disappeared really fast. But I recorded it. It was Chris Cuomo praising and thanking Fauci for calling him every single day of the week personally. Think about that. We’ve got a newscaster on CNN getting personal calls from Tony Fauci. Now, who’s his brother? Andrew Cuomo.
“One of the things that Fauci said—this is on tape, thankfully—”I’ve known you guys since you were kids.” And that’s true. Mario Cuomo and Tony Fauci know each other very well. We’ve talked about researchers loving Tony Fauci’s money. Well, government officials love AIDS money. There’s a lot of it. It’s distributed very liberally. And New York State got a whole bunch of it. And I’m sure it’s still getting a whole bunch of it.
“Let’s talk about Tony Fauci, the fantastic propagandist. Tony Fauci would give Dr. Goebbels a run for his money. Well, Tony Fauci’s accomplished something not too dissimilar. So one thing that an investigative journalist could do, if they would get the doughnut out of their mouth and actually do some work—and none of them do—is just to look at the enormous size of the bureaucracy that is Tony Fauci, his personal domain. He has eight separate divisions that he’s running. One of them, of course, is biodefense, which I mentioned earlier. Now, here’s where it gets important. Each one of these divisions has its own communications director. And the office of the director, which is Tony Fauci, has a communications director and a deputy director. So that is ten, count them, ten full-time guys, whose only job is to spout the Tony Fauci party line.
“And that’s just the directors. I don’t know how many staff people there are. That’s hidden. You know, that’s not easy to find out. But the directors they do disclose. But let’s say it’s just 10 guys, 40 hours a week. That means he has four hundred hours a week every week, 52 weeks a year to tell the Tony Fauci story.
“Who’s on the other side of that? Who is countering Tony Fauci’s story?” (Kevin Barrett: “Truth Jihad Radio!”) “Right. It’s amazing. So we’ve got 400 hours a week from guys whose whole bread and butter is to promote and defend this guy. And then we have us, the ragtag irregulars, fighting a guerrilla action. Do you know who’s going to win? Now it gets even worse because he’s been at this for 36 years. So he’s got a Rolodex. So if you or I pick up the phone and want to talk to Chris Cuomo or to anybody in the news media, they’re not even gonna pick up the phone, let alone return our call. Everybody’s going to return Tony’s call. So not only does he have the manpower to just pump out propaganda nonstop, but he also has, you know, a thick Rolodex of people that are ready, willing, and able to talk to him within the journalism world.
“You occasionally have a science and medical writer that that will go up against Fauci. Believe it or not, the former Times of London guy when AIDS was on the ascendancy did some looking into the whole AIDS story, found it suspect scientifically, and started to speak out about it. Well, he’s not employed any more.
“So Fauci has a lot of control over who’s going to be the medical and science correspondent of various newspapers and magazines. But it’s even worse than that because 95% of the people reporting on the COVID story are liberal arts grads. They studied Russian literature or English composition or whatever. They have absolutely no scientific training whatsoever, which means they’re very easy to snow.
“I was in Princeton University’s undergraduate neuroscience program in the late 70s before it was co-opted by the pharma industry. And I did not get my degree in that after all. But I was in the program. I’m not a super scientist, but I do know my way around chemistry and biology and anatomy and physiology. And I’m not easily bullshitted. However, most of the people that are writing these stories are super easily bullshitted, and that is a real big, serious problem.
“Now, the other problem related to this is an infrastructure problem. If you turn on the evening news, you’re going to see 50 to 70 percent of the ads are pharmaceutical products. Several network news programs are actually stamped and underwritten by pharmaceutical companies. So you don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to realize that if somebody’s showing up at a TV news outlet’s door every week with a wheelbarrow full of money consistently…
By the way, you know, some industries run hot and cold in their advertising. They’re going to advertise a lot at Christmas, but not a lot in August. But the pharma guys just show up every week. And I’m going to guess they don’t negotiate too hard on the rate card. They’re probably paying the full rate. So people think, “oh, well, you know, they’re trying to get us to buy these drugs. They’re trying to get us to pester our doctors into prescribing these various drugs.” And I’m sure that’s part of it.
“But another huge part of it is—remember Archer Daniels Midland?” (Kevin Barrett: “How could we forget? Their name gets repeated all the time on PBS and places like that.”)“Yeah. And why? That’s a payment to make sure that we never look at corn syrup and the fact that it’s barely corn and hardly syrup. It’s basically a toxic brew that creates diabetes.
“That’s an interesting side story. But it’s illustrative of what we’re talking about tonight. My professor at Princeton was a guy named Bart Hubbell. He mapped the dopamine pathway in the human brain. This guy is a significant neuroscientist. He started doing research in the early 2000s on the impact of corn syrup on the brains of rats. And he discovered neurological damage. And would you believe that a ‘grassroots group,’ like ‘corn syrup for the masses’ or something, started a massive letter-writing saying ‘save our corn syrup.’ I mean, it was just ludicrous. But the pressure was so extreme and Princeton was so craven that they basically told Professor Hubble to back off. And he did. So that’s science in America today. And Tony Fauci is one of the main henchmen in controlling science to the negative.
“Medical science is really fascinating. They’re good at inventing diseases. You’ve probably heard of restless leg syndrome, which has a pharmaceutical cure, you’ll be happy to know. We won’t get into the AIDS thing. But there are people who have catastrophic collapses of their immune systems. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. It is a horrible thing to have to happen. But AIDS as we know it through the media lens is a manufactured situation. And that’s Tony Fauci’s political base and money pump. Half a trillion in research money. And interestingly enough—and we’ve got the video of this, you can look it up—in 1984 when he got his job from the Reagan administration with the help of George Bush, Fauci promised an AIDS vaccine, in 1984! It was just around the corner! It’s in 2020. We don’t have an AIDS vaccine, but we have spent half a trillion dollars.
“AZT was the chemotherapy that was developed to treat a kind of cancer. And it was determined to be too dangerous for human use. But Fauci and friends, thanks to the hysteria they helped build around AIDS, got it reclassified. And it was given to millions of people. There are researchers that believe somewhere between 200,000 and 500,000 people died of AZT consumption because AZT is a mutagen. It’s a carcinogen. And it actually destroys the immune system, which is—and this is not subject to debate—that was on the warning label.
“So fast forward to the present. He’s doing the same thing with COVID. It is such a disaster, it’s such a travesty, it’s such a catastrophe, it’s such an emergency that we’re gonna throw out all the normal safeguards for developing vaccines. My understanding is one of the things they’ve thrown out is animal testing. It has gone straight to people, including children.
“And the Zika virus: There were some birth defect cases in Brazil. Tragic, obviously. And what nobody points out was they were all rural people living amongst these horrific soybean plantations where they were spraying glyphosate without limit. And so they were most likely pesticide poisoning. But they decided that it was the Zika virus, and the Zika virus was coming to America. And I have a little clip where Fauci’s talking about how he met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to create a plan to help protect the United States, to repel Zika from coming to its shores. They’re called virus hunters, these guys, among scientists that that follow these things.. And they’re tall tale-tellers and everything works out so that it turns out to be a fantastic money pump for Pharma and IHSS.
“And the (COVID) playbook: You have to look at where this outbreak took place. Well, no one clearly has. You know, that weapons-grade bio lab. No question about it. But the thing that people seem to forget or ignore or didn’t know or whatever about Wuhan is it is the most polluted city on earth. I mean, it’s an absolute hellhole. People were wearing masks every day on their way to work in Wuhan. So that combined with some kind of viral problem and a less than ideal medical system could result in a lot of chaos in the hospitals. And chaos in hospitals overwhelmed hospitals translates into a lot of unnecessary deaths.
“Same problem in Northern Italy. People may not be aware of it, with Venice and all these beautiful places, that it’s the industrial belt of Italy, with very polluted air. And it is the oldest demographic in Europe. So you have a lot of old people, really bad air quality, and they have a problem with the flu every year. Now, this was an unusually big one, but they get overwhelmed every year.
“Now, let’s go to New York City. This is really important. And I’ll do this really fast. Cuomo put out a do-not-resuscitate order, a blanket do-not-resuscitate order, in March. And he kept it running, I think, till about mid-April. That means normal medical care was suspended. If somebody was out, you don’t do anything to bring them back. That might have contributed to some people that could have survived dying.
“Cuomo also ordered nursing homes to take actively contagious patients. That went on for two months before he rescinded that one. But the big one was the ventilators. And this is something, again, you don’t have to be an investigative scientist to know. You just have to ask a few questions. The whole process of intubating somebody is a big deal. They’re on eight to 12 major drugs. And we’re not talking about taking a pill. We’re talking about, they were you. You’ve got drips of fentanyl to kill the pain of having this thing shoved down your neck. They’ve got things that are paralytics that keep you from moving. Very, very, very powerful drugs. Do you think you get up and have lunch when you’re on a vent? No, you’re fed from a tube. And then you’ve got these ventilators pumping these people’s lungs in the wrong setting, which apparently happened quite a bit. That one nurse who’s a former army nurse, she said that she worked in two hospitals, one in Florida, and they didn’t have a single (COVID) death.
“And she’d worked in two different hospital settings and she had been a combat nurse and she knows her way around. And she said, absolutely, positively, no doubt about it, they were putting people on those vents who were having just garden variety panic attacks—no COVID at all—in the public hospitals. She talked about one guy, 37 years old, who came in. She said he did not have respiratory distress. He was having a panic attack. And when she wasn’t looking, one of the residents talked him into getting on a vent.
“All this, the pushing of the vents, the do not resuscitate, the ordering of contagious patients to be put in with healthy patients in the nursing homes—all this came out of Andrew Cuomo’s ss office. And we’ve got to look at the fact that Andrew Cuomo and Fauci are close. (Kevin Barrett: “It’s almost as if they wanted to maximize the problem.”) Well, you know, you would think that. And these catastrophes happen in public hospitals. And I have the experience of visiting somebody in a public NYC hospital once. And they are absolute hellholes. They’re like the black hole of Calcutta. I mean, they’re horrible. So I can imagine anything going on in those things. There are people without resources. And then, of course, we have the added thing, which is people couldn’t be there with their advocates, with their families, with their friends. You went in and you were there alone. And God knows what would happen to you.
“So just to sum all this up: This is not Fauci’s first rodeo. He’s been pumping hysteria for 36 years. He always gets it wrong. He was wrong about swine flu. He was wrong about bird flu. He was wrong about Zika. He was wrong about Ebola. He wildly exaggerated AIDS. And he always is wrong in the favor of pharmaceutical companies. And he’s always wrong in favor of ‘we’ve got to develop a vaccine now. We have to throw out all the rules.’
“And his wife is Christine Grady, chief of the Department of Bioethics of the National Institute of Health and the head of the section on Human Subject Research. She is the person that makes decisions on what’s ethical to do with human subjects. That’s his wife. They’ve been married since 1986. How did the news media miss that? She’s author of a book called The Search for an AIDS Vaccine. Somewhere in the book, she says, ‘it’s the vaccines that saved humanity. You know, they’re the greatest invention in the entire history of modern medicine.’ Now, I think good nutrition and and and proper sanitation were the greatest inventions of modern medicine.
“Again, you don’t have to be a great investigative reporter to just say, who’s he married to? And get the name and then see what does she do for a living. And she’s the person that makes the ethics calls for drug and vaccine development at the NIH.
“So the main thing I want to leave people with is he’s been doing this for 36 years. He controls an enormous infrastructure of propaganda and research money and media control and political control within the science and medical world. And he always errs on the side of hysteria. And he always errs on the side of things that are gold rushes for pharma. That’s Tony Fauci.”

Bright Patches on Saturn’s Largest Moon Are Dried-Up Lake Beds

Research suggests mysterious bright spots seen at the equator of Saturn’s moon Titan may be dried up lake beds, reports Lisa Grossman for Science News. The new research, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, offers an explanation for a phenomenon first observed in 2000.
Titan is the ringed planet’s largest moon and is the second largest moon in the entire solar system. The mega-moon is also the only one known to have a substantial atmosphere.
