How an Influential Medical Journal Laundered Progressivism as ‘Public Health’

Funded in part by the left-wing billionaire George Soros, a ‘Lancet’ committee proposes a raft of radical policies in the name of ‘public health’

The Lancet last week released a sweeping and much vaunted report on “public health and policy in the Trump era.” Its first key finding is that Donald Trump “politicised” science, which “posed a uniquely urgent threat to health.”

The report, “Public Policy and Health in the Trump Era,” offers a host of “science-led” proposals it claims would mitigate that threat, from the implementation of the Green New Deal and a complete ban on coal mining to higher taxes, cuts to defense spending, and Medicare for All.

Combat the surge in attacks on Asian American with … more police!

The media have lit up in recent weeks with stories and cable news segments about a “surge” in anti-Asian American violence across the country. Presumably, we should be looking for a solution, but not a single person on CNN or MSNBC is suggesting the most obvious one: more policing.

But there’s a problem. There’s no federal data on trends in crimes against Asian Americans — these claims come mostly from nonprofit advocacy groups and from city governments such as New York and Oakland, California. And while, again, there isn’t much data on the subject, virtually every incident caught on video shows a black male perpetrator.

Censored Hunter Biden Laptop Story Comes Back Around to Bite Twitter

The former Delaware computer repair shop owner who gave Rudi Giuliani and the FBI emails alleged to be from Hunter Biden’s laptop has again sued Twitter for defamation. John Paul Mac Isaac claimed that Twitter defamed him by censoring a New York Post story over its alleged use of “hacked materials.” Due to Twitter’s suppression of the story, Americans branded Mac Isaac a hacker, costing him business opportunities and ultimately leading him to shut down his business, the lawsuit claims.

Texas crisis will reshape energy policy-making everywhere as wind-power collapse puts renewables under scrutiny

The North American energy policy community, a space already filled with plenty of hot air streaming in from the global warming conflict, now faces a new jet stream of cold winds blowing down via the polar vortex. There’s no point getting bogged down in the climatic origins of the polar vortex; suffice to say that its recent acceleration has had a devastating impact on North American weather patterns.

Gurski: If the head of a spy agency speaks publicly, shouldn’t we listen?

The heads of security intelligence agencies seldom open up. When they do, it is a sign to pay attention.

Canadians witnessed a very rare event recently. The director of CSIS, David Vigneault, gave a speech – virtually, of course – to the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Ottawa. In this all too infrequent occurrence, he talked about what keeps him up at night as the head of Canada’s premier spy agency.

Media’s censorious gatekeepers are mad — because they’re losing power

With Donald Trump out of office and de-platformed, you’d think mainstream media gatekeepers would be happy. You’d think wrong.

Though the media-Big Tech regime is doing its best to silence opponents and seize control of the high ground, the news from within is grim. They aren’t happy with how things are going.

That’s because they know they’re losing. Some are losing audiences and revenues. But more important, they’re losing control of the narrative.

Facebook makes a power move in Australia – and may regret it

Facebook makes a power move in Australia – and may regret it

For years, Facebook has been in a defensive crouch amid a slew of privacy scandals, antitrust lawsuits and charges that it was letting hate speech and extremism destroy democracy. Early Thursday, though, it abruptly pivoted to take the offensive in Australia, where it lowered the boom on publishers and the government with a sudden decision to block news on its platform across the entire country.

That power play — a response to an Australian law that would compel Facebook to pay publishers for using their news stories — might easily backfire, given how concerned many governments have grown about the company’s unchecked influence over society, democracy and political discourse. But it’s still a startling reminder of just how much power CEO Mark Zuckerberg can wield at the touch of a figurative button.

Topple the oligarchs.

Palestinians: EU Facilitating Hamas Victory

“The EU and other international parties perfectly well see that Hamas will run in upcoming election and again promise Palestinians to continue the “armed struggle’ against Israel. They can perfectly well hear Hamas saying that its goal is to “liberate Palestine, from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.” It seems that Hamas’s goal — finishing what Hitler started, annihilating the Jews — is precisely what the EU and the international community secretly, or unconsciously, want.”

Killings surge in Syria camp housing Islamic State families

BEIRUT (AP) — The deaths stacked up: a policeman shot dead with a pistol equipped with a silencer, a local official gunned down, his son wounded, an Iraqi man beheaded. In total, 20 men and women were killed last month in the sprawling camp in northeastern Syria housing families of the Islamic State group.

The slayings in al-Hol camp — nearly triple the deaths in previous months — are largely believed to have been carried out by IS militants punishing perceived enemies and intimidating anyone who wavers from their extremist line, say Syrian Kurdish officials who run the camp but say they struggle to keep it under control.

Boo Hoo.

Wielding a large kitchen knife, Abdullah al-H H, a 20-year-old Syrian, allegedly stabbed the couple, who were visiting Dresden on 4 October.

He was charged last Thursday (11 February) with murder and attempted murder, according to Deutsche Welle.
