The Victory of the Canadian Truckers Just Might be Reshaping Politics in the People's Favor
Plus: Misconduct by doctors spreading Covid misinformation largely overlooked, skepticism towards plans of a profitable mRNA-based malaria vaccine raised, DiCaprio's green hypocrisy criticized, growing technocratic governance in US mirroring Nazi regime, and China's revolutionary cloning for agriculture.
THE CANADIAN TRUCKERS ACTUALLY WON? "It might just have been the most successful individual protest in human history."
The Freedom Convoy protest in Canadian history marked a significant political shift, leading to the resignation of pro-lockdown leaders and compelling the government to revoke all restrictions within months. Despite the media portrayal of violence and subsequent freezing of bank accounts, its immediate success had a notable impact, influencing a change in government approach. Despite facing financial and political obstacles, these truckers' protests resulted in a drastic reduction in COVID restrictions and a significant shift in public opinion and governmental stance on lockdown measures. Their success prompts a re-evaluation of the power held by middle-class protest movements in challenging bureaucracy."Doctors who put lives at risk with covid misinformation rarely punished"/ WaPo
The Washington Post has conducted an extensive analysis of medical misconduct during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing that many doctors who spread misinformation and endangered patient lives faced minimal consequences. The scope of such misconduct is largely unknown due to infrequent monitoring in most states. However, the Post identified at least 480 COVID-misinformation-related complaints and 20 penalized doctors within the last three years. The spread of medical misinformation, primarily around the drug ivermectin and disproved COVID-19 treatments, has damaged public trust and exposed the fallbacks in the American healthcare system. Notably, state medical boards, intended to safeguard public health, have struggled to discipline medical professionals amidst the overload of routine licensing tasks and monitoring of social media.Sporadic Reports of Malaria Followed by "Breakthrough" Announcement of mRNA Vaccine
Dr. Peter A. McCullough, an internal medicine physician and cardiologist, has shared skepticism towards recent news about a resurgence of malaria and the development of an mRNA-based vaccine by a research team from various universities. Dr. McCullough questions the coincidental timing of these reports and suggests that the media is playing up an old disease to draw attention and generate profitability for the new vaccine. He reiterates that malaria cases are a common occurrence and the sudden interest may be prompted more by commercial factors than health urgencies.Eco warrior Leonardo DiCaprio takes helicopter from yacht to dinner
Actor-activist Leonardo DiCaprio, known for his strong stance on environmental concerns, has faced criticism for his choices of transport. As reported by the Toronto Sun, DiCaprio, during his vacation near Italy, used a helicopter for his travels to-and-from his luxury yacht to land. His decisions are considered to contradict his vocal advocacy for reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable economic practices. The actor's prior instances of using private jets for short trips have also sparked controversy. Critics call his speeches on environmental protection sanctimonious given his not-so-green personal travel habits.Nazi Albert Speer Warned The West About The Rise Of Technocracy
The term "technocracy," associated often with totalitarian leftist regimes, is a method of governance where sectors are managed by technical experts, thereby reducing the influence of public will. The article discusses how this form of governance was implemented by the Nazi party with Albert Speer acting as a technocrat under Hitler. Speer played a key role in maintaining German armaments and implementing Hitler's ambitious architectural plans. In recent times, a growing number of technocrats have gained influential roles within the American government, often leading to claims of rights infringement and increasing public concerns. Lessons can be drawn from history to oppose adverse effects of an overreaching, technocratic governance.Un-Holy Cow! China Engineers And Clones ‘Super Cows’
Chinese scientists have cloned three 'super cows' capable of producing 50% more milk than the average American cow, according to state media reports. The experiment took place at the Northwest University of Agricultural and Forestry Science and Technology and began last year. Using the somatic cell nuclear transfer method, scientists extracted nuclei from body cells of highly productive Holstein Friesian cows and infused these into donated egg cells. After implantation in surrogate cows, three clones were born. The success represents a significant development in China's efforts to improve its agricultural industry and reduce reliance on international dairy imports.
