The Sackler Family’s Dynasty Of Guilt

A sweeping account of Big Pharma’s first family provides a full and damning picture of their moral culpability for the opioid crisis.

…The FBI might have been onto something. It was not until the FBI files were FOIA’d by Keefe and other researchers that it became publicly known that at least one Sackler brother, and possibly all three, were Communist Party members. Raymond and his wife Beverly Feldman cared enough to transfer their membership to the Boston chapter when they moved there in 1944 and then back again to New York when they relocated. Arthur was close friends with millionaire Soviet spies Alfred Stern and Martha Dodd. One veteran Daily Worker journalist who worked for Arthur told a researcher in 1991 that, as he understood it, “all three Sacklers had been party members early on.”

One guess as to how the Chauvin-Floyd trial might end

One guess as to how the Chauvin-Floyd trial might end

The following are some basic facts established during the three-week trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Both sides have rested their cases, and Chauvin’s defense lawyer, Eric Nelson, is preparing his closing argument for Monday.

George Floyd said many times before he was put on the ground that he couldn’t breathe. It was also established that Chauvin’s knee was not on Floyd’s throat, so that couldn’t have asphyxiated him. Some of the time Chauvin was restraining Floyd, it was established that Chauvin actually had his knee on Floyd’s shoulder blade, where not all of his weight was on Floyd. Rather, he shifted his weight around at times from his knee to his lower leg and foot. Also, it was established that Chauvin’s knee restraint could not have stopped the blood flow in one of Floyd’s carotid arteries, and even if he did, blood would have continued flowing to the brain through the carotid artery on the other side of the neck.

Are fake hate crimes still motivated by racism?

Albion College in Michigan seems to think so

When racist graffiti appeared on the walls of a dormitory at Albion College in Michigan, the college heads and student body were outraged. The graffiti, which included racial slurs, anti-Semitic remarks and multiple references to the Ku Klux Klan, prompted college officials to put forward a $1,000 bounty for anyone with information as to the perpetrator. Albion College President Mathew Johnson warned that ‘if they are Albion College students, they will also immediately be subject to the student conduct process — including the potential for suspension or expulsion’. Criminal charges would follow.

Kerry: China and U.S. ‘Very Important to Try to Keep Those Other Things Away’ to Work on Climate Change

Not right in the head.

…If by “those other things” which “it’s very important for us to try to keep… away,” Kerry means human rights abuses, then what the United States is saying is that climate change takes priority over calling the Chinese Communist Party out and telling them to knock it off when it comes to genocide and forced slave labor against the Uyghurs, pressuring Taiwan to reunify with the mainland, taking action against the Hong Kong protesters, and more.

Two die in Texas after Tesla on auto-pilot crashes into tree & starts massive 4-hour fire that took 32,000 GALLONS of water to extinguish

Two men died after a Tesla ‘on autopilot with no one driving’ crashed into a tree in Houston before starting a huge fire that took 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish.

The fully-electric 2019 Tesla Model S slammed into the tree in Carlton Woods at around 11.25pm on Saturday night before bursting into flames with the passengers still inside.

Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said an investigation had found that ‘no one was driving’ when the accident happened, with one man sitting in the passenger seat at the front and the second sitting in the back.

FedEx shooter Brandon Hole was obsessed with ‘My Little Pony’: report

The teen who shot up an Indianapolis FedEx facility and killed eight people was reportedly part of a bizarre Internet subculture obsessed with “My Little Pony.”

Posts on Brandon Hole’s since-taken-down Facebook page appear to indicate he was a member of the “Bronies” community — a group of mostly adult men who are extreme fans of the kiddie toys and animated television show, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Tense nation readies for Chauvin verdict

The nation is bracing for a verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial over the death of George Floyd, as racial tensions are roiled by two other shocking police killings.

Closing arguments in Chauvin’s trial are expected Monday, after which the jury will begin its deliberations. Chauvin, now 45, was a Minneapolis police officer when he was filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during a May arrest. Floyd was declared dead at a nearby hospital.

Justice has been surrendered to political expedience and the mob so I anticipate a guilty verdict which will or should mitigate the rioting.

GUNTER: Liberals are ‘woke’ spenders with unlimited credit card

GUNTER: Liberals are ‘woke’ spenders with unlimited credit card

I can’t imagine Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland rising in the House of Commons on Monday to deliver the Liberal government’s first budget in over two years – 762 days, to be exact – and announcing she’s had second thoughts about the expected $100-billion infrastructure program.

Liberals never doubt their own genius and they have no shame. So it never occurs to them their plans might be wrong. And even if it did, they would never admit it.

Conrad Black: Erin O’Toole promised boldness and change. We’re still waiting

Conrad Black: Erin O’Toole promised boldness and change. We’re still waiting

“…The latest reliable statistics show that Canada leads the world in percentage of Covid deaths in homes for the elderly: 70 per cent of our total, compared to 27 per cent in the UK and Germany, 33 per cent in Israel, 38 per cent in the United States, 47 per cent in Sweden, and 59 per cent in Spain. If we had just protected the elderly and infirm a year ago, we might have been able to save at least a third of those who have died, at a minimum cost in inconvenience and in money. Why doesn’t Erin O’Toole say something about that? There are more than 40 countries with a higher level of per capita vaccination than Canada. Amongst them are not just obvious scientifically advanced nations like Israel and the United States and the UK, but Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden. Has the official opposition uttered one word about these completely unacceptable, uncompetitive and ultimately death-dealing numbers?”

The New World Order Is Taking Its Mask Off While Telling You to Keep Yours On

New World Order used to be the province of conspiracy theorists. However, the phrase is now descriptive of what we see daily in the news. There is tremendous pressure to reorder society in the West, using the pandemic as a pretext. In America, the result has been an assault on our God-given rights on an unprecedented scale. Political leaders proclaimed they were following the science to protect public health and stripped citizens of their ability to work, to associate, to worship, and even to petition our government.

Posturing is No Policy on Iran

Two months or nine months? This is the question making the rounds with regards to the latest “incident” at Natanz nuclear center where Iran is engaged in a massive uranium enrichment program. Attributed to Israeli secret services, the incident disabled some 5,000 centrifuges put in full operation two months ago as a means of exerting pressure on the new administration in Washington.

Iranian experts say the infernal machine could be back in full gear within two months. Western experts say nine months is a likelier time-span. The “incident” came at a time that Tehran’s envoys were engaged in indirect talks with US diplomats on a possible deal for Iran to reduce its enrichment program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions imposed by Washington, the UN and the European Union.
