Nicolas Maduro Venezuela is home to the world’s biggest crude reserves, but the country exported only 1.245 million barrels a day last year, the lowest since 1990. This is what happens when a dictator runs a sector of the economy in socialist style and launches an immediate money grab.

Doctor who tweeted that she would ‘purposely give Jews the wrong medications’ still has her medical licence despite being condemned by the Cleveland Clinic where she worked after it emerged she has been posting anti-Semitic messages for years

A doctor who tweeted that she would ‘purposely give all the Jews the wrong meds’ has been found to have been posting anti-Semitic messages on social media for years.
Dr Lara Kollab, 27, a former resident at The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, wrote in now-deleted posts that she hoped ‘Allah will kill the Jews’ and referred to Jewish people as ‘dogs’.
The Cleveland Clinic has since condemned Dr Kollab, who retains her medical license, and confirmed that she is no longer working at the hospital.
*** end quote ***
Clearly, this is unacceptable in the USA.
Not that she can NOT have racist views. But she can’t overtly threaten to harm people.
For that reason alone, she should lose her medical license.
She can always do pharma sales calling on only Jewish doctors?
That sounds like a plan.

Censorship vs. Suppression
By eric – January 1, 2019
*** begin quote ***
Libertarians – me included – have wrestled long and hard with this one: Is it censorship when private entities do it?
No – not in a legal sense. Because these private entities do not have the power to forbidpublication, per se.
But they do have the power to suppress (and even to punish) publication when the entities at issue effectively control the means of publication – and so it amounts to the same thing as censorship.
*** and ***
There is no Internet Samizdat – nor can there be. There is just the Internet, which is the only known means for the dissemination of information in the digital age.
There is also the fiction that the handful of entities which effectively control it and all the critical peripherals – which includes both “social media” and online advertising and online payment mechanisms- are private and so we can’t – as Libertarians – object to their machinations.
Nonsense.
They may be privately owned, but so is Tesla – and it is very Libertarian to object to the rent-seeking and crony-capitalism of Tesla. Because Tesla – and the online entities under discussion – leverage the government for their private gain.
Where, after all, did the Internet come from? Was it the privately-funded creation of Goo-gul? Or did Goo-gul, et al, exploit what the taxpayers had been forced to finance the development of?
At the least, we are due some kind of refund.
What’s happened is even more obnoxious than what Jefferson wrote about being forced to provide money for the distribution of opinions one finds repellent – because it’s not just that. One is also precluded even from using one’s own money – whatever’s left, after all the tiers of government theft – to publish opinion contrary to the opinions one finds repellent.
Lech Walesa, phone home.
*** end quote ***
I constantly wonder why a grassroots (libertarian?) movement has not formed behind the idea of using the Internet Giants reliance on “safe harbor” to their detriment. They all rely on the “safe harbor” protection from copyright infringement. But, now, they are exercising “editorial control” and so probably can be held accountable for “infringement”.

Ex-Marlins President Brags About Fleecing Fans, Taxpayers in $1.2 Billion Team Sale
JERRY IANNELLI | DECEMBER 18, 2018 | 1:18PM
*** begin quote ***
At this point, every single person who worked for the Miami Marlins when Jeffrey Loria owned the team should be under strict FBI surveillance. Robert Mueller should be stalking these people. They keep revealing themselves to be vampires.
Case in point: Loria’s former team president, David Samson, hopped onto a stage at ESPN personality Dan Le Batard’s birthday party over the weekend and bragged about fleecing Miami taxpayers and sports fans after Loria sold the team for literally a billion dollars. Samson then flipped off the crowd. Had there not been security, he might have been guillotined, though Le Batard and Samson now claim that this was some sort of planned “skit.” If true, the skit sucked.

Will there never be a counterattack?
Vin Suprynowicz
*** begin quote ***
Is that counterintuitive — that the GOP leadership would WANT to lose the majority? Not at all.
The ongoing stunt of these one-trick ponies for 30 years now is to win election by vowing to “secure the border,” clean up vote fraud (Did you know surplus Massachusetts Democrats can vote in swing-state New Hampshire — where they have a far better chance of shifting some electoral votes — by simply driving across the state line and saying “I plan to move up here next year”?); halt illegal immigration, repeal socialized medicine (“Obamacare”) and replace it with a free-market system providing better incentives for doctors and other “health care providers,” etc.
Then they get to Washington and say “Of COURSE we’d like to deliver on those promises, but the darned Democrats won’t LET us.”
This works if you’re in the minority, or at least if you don‘t control the House, the Senate, AND the presidency.
*** and ***
THE POTENTIAL TARGETS:
1) Spygate. Listen to former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino lay it all out succinctly and in brief. (He’s even capable of making it funny): https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/11/23/dan-bongino-presentation-of-spygate
2) Vote fraud: When states including California and Nevada are now issuing drivers licenses to illegals, and AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERING THEM TO VOTE when they apply for those licenses, we need sting operations and massive busts not just of the illegal voters, but of the Department of Motor Vehicle employees who are illegally registering them.
3) THE ‘SOCIAL MEDIA’ GIANTS . . . . . . mostly based in Silicon Valley in Commiefornia, don’t even seem to CARE that we all know they’ve started censoring conservative voices on the Internet while allowing those who gleefully call for Trump’s assassination, who call Ivanka a “cunt” and Barron Trump “retarded,” urging that said blameless youth be “locked up in a cell with a male rapist named Bubba” are allowed to keep gleefully churning out their hate.
4) The Media — Furthermore, the FCC (and FTC and SEC, if necessary) could be instructed to specifically ENCOURAGE AND FACILITATE mergers which would tend to create conservative alternative news networks with greater reach, rather than blocking them, until the percentage of conservative, Trump-endorsing networks reaches 40 percent.
5) The Border — The President has Constitutional power to send the U.S. military to the border to protect this nation from invasion; no further act of Congress needed.
6) The traitors — Former Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Iran to advise our enemies on how to avoid or circumvent President Trump’s anti-nuclear embargo.
7) Has anyone at the IRS even looked to see if the Clinton Foundation has violated the terms and restrictions of its tax-exempt, nonprofit charter?

Manufactured Crisis — HPV, Hype and Horror
By Joseph Mercola — Mercola.com
December 10, 2018
*** begin quote ***
The HPV vaccine Gardasil was granted European license in February 2006,1 followed by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval that same year in June.2 Gardasil was controversial in the U.S. from the beginning, with vaccine safety activists questioning the quality of the clinical trials used to fast track the vaccine to licensure.3 Merck, which manufactures and distributes the HPV vaccine Gardasil, has worked with a global health group called PATH4 to get the vaccine approved worldwide.
Lauded as a silver bullet against cervical cancer, the vaccine has since wrought havoc on the lives of young girls across the world.
“Manufactured Crisis — HPV, Hype and Horror,” a film by The Alliance for Natural Health, delves into the all too often ignored dark side of this unnecessary vaccine, interviewing families whose lives have been forever altered after their young daughters suffered life-threatening or lethal side effects following Gardasil vaccination. Says Barbara Loe Fisher, president and cofounder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC):
“The tragic story of Gardasil vaccine is one that is playing out in real time in the homes of trusting parents, who thought they were doing the right thing to try to make their daughters ‘one less,’ and in the 21st century cyberspace forum of public opinion as well as on television.”
*** and ***
Considering the U.S. government’s financial interest in the sale of HPV vaccine, this is about as clear a conflict of interest as you can get, yet Markowitz was allowed to be part of the team that designed the scope and parameters of the review.
Risk Benefit Analysis
In the film, Norma Erickson, president of Sanevax, Inc., an “international HPV vaccine information clearinghouse” in Troy, Montana, points out that while the cervical cancer rate in the U.S. is 12 per 100,000, by Merck’s own admission, Gardasil may cause 2,300 serious adverse events per 100,000.
Is it really reasonable to risk 2,300 serious adverse events — which includes sudden death — in the hopes of preventing 12 cases of cervical cancer out of 100,000?
Trial data from Merck also shows that Gardasil vaccinations may actually increase your risk of cervical cancer by 44.6 percent if you have been exposed to HPV strains 16 or 18 prior to vaccination.20 (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made this document inaccessible, but we’ve saved a copy of it for posterity.)
Professor Marcos Mazzuka, a pediatrician specializing in vaccine injuries in Madrid, Spain, agrees that the HPV vaccine is not safe, and is not worth the risk, as side effects are not limited to rash or fever but are severe and long-lasting.

Veterans Affairs Dept. tells Capitol Hill it won’t repay underpaid GI Bill benefits recipients
*** begin quote ***
For weeks, student veterans across the country have raised an alarm about delayed or incorrect GI Bill benefit payments, which the Department of Veterans Affairs has blamed on computer issues.
But on Wednesday, the department told congressional staffers that it would not reimburse those veterans who were paid less than they were owed, two committee aides told NBC News.
The news conflicts with a promise VA officials made to a House committee earlier this month that it would reimburse those veterans who received less than the full amount they were due.

MAN CONVICTED OF OBSTRUCTION FOR REFUSING TO OPEN HIS DOOR FOR POLICE
Levi Pulkkinen — Oct 17, 2018
*** begin quote ***
If his conviction stands, it could criminalize people who refuse to do things like unlock their phones or garages at police request.
Shouting voices coming from an apartment building broke the suburban quiet in the early hours of March 1, 2016.
A man walking past called officers to the Seattle-area apartment, reporting a loud argument. The yelling had stopped when police arrived outside Solomon McLemore’s Shoreline home, but was replaced by amplified demands from police that McLemore come out or let them in. As the incident stretched on, frustrations grew.
“Open the fucking door,” one officer demanded during the 15-minute exchange.
McLemore declined and stood by as police, having heard glass shatter inside the home, broke down the door. No one inside was hurt. But McLemore was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of a law enforcement officer for failing to open his home to police. He was convicted as charged on Sept. 29, 2016, following a three-day jury trial. Sentenced to 20 days under house arrest, McLemore began a series of appeals that landed his case in the Washington Supreme Court, which is expected to hear oral arguments Thursday.
If McLemore’s conviction stands, Washington would most likely be the only state to criminalize the refusal to assist police in a warrantless search.
*** and ***
Iannotti and the ACLU contend the framework put forward by prosecutors could lay the groundwork for obstruction charges against people who refuse to do things like unlock their phones or garages at police request. It makes it dangerous for residents to stand up for their rights.
“You have a right to be free of searches without a warrant,” Iannotti said. “A person shouldn’t be penalized for exercising that right.”
*** end quote ***
I wonder how this went. If badly, I hope it gets appealed to the Supremes.

Received two spam emails below. Guess this is “Nigerian Prince — version 2.0”.
Because of my security processes, I KNOW that “qdw75zqc8y” has NEVER been one of my passwords.
Laugh!
Sigh!
I’m sharing this so that you won’t get burned!
*** begin quote ***
I greet you!
I have bad news for you.
06/28/2018 – on this day I hacked your operating system and got full access to your account fjohn@reinke.cc
On that day your account (fjohn@reinke.cc) password was: qdw75zqc8y
It is useless to change the password, my malware intercepts it every time.
How it was:
In the software of the router to which you were connected that day, there was a vulnerability.
I first hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you entered in the Internet, my trojan was installed on the operating system of your device.
After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts).
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a small amount of money to unlock.
But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and came to the big delight of your favorite resources.
I’m talking about sites for adults.
I want to say – you are a big pervert. You have unbridled fantasy!
After that, an idea came to my mind.
I made a screenshot of the intimate website where you have fun (you know what it is about, right?).
After that, I took off your joys (using the camera of your device). It turned out beautifully, do not hesitate.
I am strongly belive that you would not like to show these pictures to your relatives, friends or colleagues.
I think $925 is a very small amount for my silence.
Besides, I spent a lot of time on you!
I accept money only in Bitcoins.
My BTC wallet: 15ZHnf1MPn6ybb8yUeAoCQ1AJtiKhg 3NrP
You do not know how to replenish a Bitcoin wallet?
In any search engine write “how to send money to btc wallet”.
It’s easier than send money to a credit card!
For payment you have a little more than two days (exactly 50 hours).
Do not worry, the timer will start at the moment when you open this letter. Yes, yes .. it has already started!
After payment, my virus and dirty photos with you self-destruct automatically.
Narrative, if I do not receive the specified amount from you, then your device will be blocked, and all your contacts will receive a photos with your “joys”.
I want you to be prudent.
From now on, I advise you to use good antiviruses and update them regularly (several times a day)!
Don’t be mad at me, everyone has their own work.
Farewell.

I would like to make one thing crystal clear, that I will destroy your life fully if I do not get the payment. In case I do get the payment, I’m going to remove every details I have with me, and I will disappear for good and you’ll under no circumstances hear anything from me.

According to the suit, in the two-and-a-half years before Kalodimos was fired, seven other employees over 40 years old were replaced with younger employees. In that period, Kalodimos wrote two letters to management detailing what she considered to be discrimination at the station, but it took no action, the lawsuit said.The conflict came to a head in November 2017 when former co-workers named Kalodimos as a witness in their own age-discrimination lawsuit. Much of the publicity surrounding that suit focused on Kalodimos, who was still an anchor.A week later, Kalodimos was fired. She was 58 at the time.

Every bit as important is the major change in the philosophy of land use management. Much of the forest land in California is now owned by the state and federal government. These lands have proved far more vulnerable to forest fires than properties owned by private groups. Private lands are managed with the goals of conservation and production. The management of public lands has been buffeted by legislative schemes driven by strong ideological commitments. Writing last year, Republican Congressman Tom McClintock noted that his air inspections revealed a distressing pattern: “The [privately] managed forests are green, healthy and thriving. The neglected federal forests are densely overcrowded and often scarred by fire because we can’t even salvage the fire-killed timber while it still has value.”

The existence of private firefighters proves that most Americans cannot rely on the government in disasters.
Rich people and insurance companies hire private firefighters because they know the government will not protect their property and lives. In addition, the government is probably not even competent enough to do so. The majority of Americans need to learn the same lesson if they want to survive.

Ultimately, a return to sound money is a solution that will do less damage than fiat currencies losing their purchasing power at an accelerating pace. Think Venezuela, and how sound money would solve her problems. But that path is blocked by a sink-hole that threatens to swallow up whole governments. Trying to buy time by throwing yet more money at an economy suffering a credit crisis will only destroy the currency. The tactic worked during the Lehman crisis, but it was a close-run thing. It is unlikely to work again.

As it presently stands, it is not sound medical science, but primarily economic and political motivations which generate the immense pressure behind mass participation in the annual ritual of flu vaccination. It is a heavily guarded secret within the medical establishment (especially within the corridors of the CDC) that the Cochrane Database Review (CDR), considered by many within the evidence-based medical model to be the gold standard for assessing the therapeutic value of common medical interventions, does not lend unequivocal scientific support to the belief and/or outright propaganda that flu vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’ao-opts a natural process, generating a broad range of adverse unintended consequences, many of which have been documented here .
