Sharing a reader comment:
"What we saw with the medical professions during Covid was not a sudden failure caused by the stress of the Covid pandemic, but rather a symptom of the corrupt transformation of medicine that began decades ago. Unfortunately this process accelerated during Covid and is accelerating even faster post-Covid.

The transformation of medicine from being patient centered independent practice into a profit generating racket seems to be driven by a Medical Industrial Complex consisting of the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance industry and large non-profit academic and multi-hospital medical centers. Of course like many other essential businesses and services it has been politicians (local and national) who have carved out monopolies that allowed for corrupt politically connected businesses to transform medicine into the racket it has become.

The pharmaceutical industry drove the response to Covid by developing a profitable but unsafe and ineffective vaccine. Effective early outpatient therapies were demonized by academic journal publisher who latter had to withdraw published papers because data was fraudulent. Likewise profitable patented medications were promoted that latter proved to be as ineffective as the vaccine and even more dangerous.

In many states, regulatory agencies threatened the medical licensing of physicians who were willing to prescribe early outpatient therapies like HCQ and Ivermectin. In states where physicians were not harassed about prescribing FDA approved off label, the majority of patients chose the vaccine over offers to have HCQ or Ivermectin on hand to start treatment early for infections.

Perhaps the worst examples of government misconduct was when the FDA refused to issue an Emergency Use Authorization for a large study using hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a trial to reverse hypoxia and avoid the use of mechanical ventilators. The case studies and small controlled clinical studies demonstrated that HBOT was able to reverse Covid hypoxia and avoid mechanical ventilator use with faster recoveries and lower mortality.

Yes, many physicians lost the trust of patients, but we should not lose sight of the other factors that created the environment for such a catastrophic response to the pandemic. What is needed is outrage by citizens and demands for investigations, accountability and policy changes to slow or reverse the corruption of medicine in our nations."

From Alexander Mercouris - LIVE STREAM PROBLEMS TODAY

This is very frustrating.

I understand that people can see me but I cannot see any messages.

I am going to try going back in again, and in the meantime please everyone accept my apologies

Trump got his Big Beautiful Bill passed but I don't see any new coherence so far in his foreign policy.

Meanwhile the Russians are now pounding Ukraine every night to an extent that we have never seen before and which the West has no answer to and the Iranians are refusing to negotiate unless they get guarantees Trump cannot give. Arnaud Bertrand has written a powerful piece (behind a paywall) about how behind all the threats and the bombast the US continues its global retreat.

https://arnaudbertrand.substack.com/p/is-trump-orchestrating-a-full-on?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=4076906&post_id=167785066&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=8tdc5&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

To be clear, a global 'retreat' is EXACTLY what the US in its own best interests needs at this time IMHO but I doubt that there are many people in policy circles in Washington who would agree with me (amongst the wider American public it is of course an entirely different matter)....

…It is the occult oligarchy that runs the Western Empire, headquartered at the City of London. The oligarchy’s constraint, however, is that they can’t be seen as the instigators of a first-strike nuclear attack. Instead, their game is to provoke another power into using nukes. Then they can emerge from their shadows as peacemakers (and creditors of the subsequent reconstruction). Preferably, the nukes should be fired by Russia, Iran or Pakistan.
Failing that, Israel will do. Israel probably wouldn’t survive such a sinister misadventure, but as far as the occult oligarchy running the Empire is concerned, Israel is expendable. This is nothing personal: they’ll happily sacrifice Israel and millions of Jews for even a thin hope of preserving their Empire…

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
