New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

And, can we adopt a zero U.S. military in Canada stance for now? "While there are no American bases in Canada today, 156 active-duty members of the U.S. military are deployed in the country, according to the latest data from Pentagon’s Defense Manpower Data Center."

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule) Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality. Those who survive often lose limbs.

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

I meet a lot of pregnant women at work. A grand total of 0 (ZERO!) have been advised to get a COVID vaccine in pregnancy. I would say the majority have bought into the misinformation that the vaccine is dangerous in pregnancy, which is the opposite of the truth.

This highlights the critical urgency of retracting junk clinical trials like the one below immediately once identified. Instead, the priority is to protect influential medical types from embarrassment, no matter the cost to the rest of us. The Wakefieldization of the medical literature continues.

There's something about recent events that feel like national leaders are becoming indistinguishable from those companies that buy other companies and strip them for parts and personal profit. I feel like Maduro (or VP) just sold Venezuela to US, itself also being stripped for parts.
