RFK Jr. Declares War on Big Pharma: Vows to Clear Out ‘Entire Departments’ at the FDA in Push for Health Reform

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/rfk-jr-declares-war-big-pharma-vows-clear/

 

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his relentless stance against corporate influence in health policy, is now taking direct aim at the entrenched bureaucracies within the U.S. health agencies.

 

As a possible future Trump administration appointee, RFK Jr. has laid out a plan to rid the FDA and other key federal agencies of the deeply-rooted corruption that prioritizes corporate profits over public health.

 

Recall that Trump said that if he is elected, Kennedy will work on “health and women’s health ” and the nation’s food supply.

 

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. we have. And he’s going to work on health and women’s health and all of the different reasons, because we’re not really a wealthy or a healthy country,” Trump said during his rally in Nevada.

 

“I told Bobby, ‘I want you to take care of health, I want you to look at the food and the food supply and what we put on the food and all sorts of — you can look at, but let me handle the oil and gas, Bobby,’” Trump added.

 

In Kennedy’s crosshairs are not only the FDA but also the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

 

On Saturday, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced that the Trump administration would advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from tap water on day one. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-congratulates-trump-extraordinary-political/

 

Billionaire founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has congratulated Trump on his “extraordinary political comeback.”

 

Bezos wrote in a post on X, “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory.”

 

“No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing Donald Trump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love,” added Bezos.

 

Two weeks ago, Bezos, who owns the Washington Post, made headlines after he directed the left-leaning newspaper not to endorse any political candidate in the 2024 election, which sparked backlash among many liberal employees at the company.

 

CEO of Amazon Andy Jassy also congratulated Trump.

 

Jassy wrote, “Congratulations to President-elect Trump on a hard-fought victory.”

DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith Reportedly Evaluating Full Dismissal of Federal Cases Against President-Elect Trump Ahead of Inauguration

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/doj-special-counsel-jack-smith-reportedly-evaluating-full/

 

The Biden Gestapo Department of Justice (DOJ) and Special Counsel Jack Smith are reportedly scrambling to find ways to abandon their witch hunt against President-elect Donald Trump as he prepares to assume office.

 

According to sources close to the DOJ per NBC, high-level officials are now debating how to sideline both the Jan. 6 and classified documents cases.

 

Despite substantial evidence suggesting these cases were politically motivated, DOJ officials are now faced with the reality that they won’t achieve a trial anytime soon, regardless of who resides in the Oval Office.

 

With legal challenges and appeals poised to escalate to the Supreme Court, the department finally seems to realize that their flimsy cases lack the substance needed to hold in any meaningful court setting.

Hours After Collapse, German Cabinet Approves Draft Law On Military Service

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hours-after-collapse-german-cabinet-approves-draft-law-military-service

 

Hours after the German government collapsed, forcing Chancellor Olaf Scholz to call for a confidence vote that he said would take place on January 15 (which if he were to lose, which is virtually certain, will force a snap election by March), Reuters reports that Germany's cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft law that would allow the army to gauge the readiness of the country's 18-year-olds to serve in the Bundeswehr as it looks to boost troop numbers for NATO obligations without resorting to conscription.

 

Reuters reports that the war in Ukraine prompted a debate in Germany over whether to reintroduce conscription, which was ended in 2011, to boost shrinking troop numbers in response to a more aggressive Russia

 

It currently has 180,000 soldiers, which it wants to increase to 203,000 by 2031, as well as 60,000 reservists.

 

The aim is to eventually reach 200,000 more reservists, which would enable Germany to swiftly expand its troops to around 460,000 in the event of war.

 

With the end of conscription, Germany stopped the registration of 18-year-olds for military service, leaving the country without a reliable data base on whom it could call up.

 

The aim of the new law is to once again have an overview of those figures:

 

Under the model proposed, all men turning 18 - about roughly 300,000 next year - will have to fill out a digital survey on their interest in joining the army.

 

Young women will also be sent the survey but are not obliged to respond.

 

Rather strangely, this decision echoes that of the incumbent UK PM just weeks before their own election that resulted in a landslide victory for the opposition. Continue…

Musk Wins Again: Federal Appeals Court Upholds No-Fraud Verdict In Tesla Tweets Case

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/musk-wins-again-federal-appeals-court-upholds-no-fraud-verdict-tesla-tweets-case

 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a legal win on Nov. 6, as a federal appeals court upheld a jury’s decision clearing him of securities fraud over his 2018 tweets about taking the electric vehicle company private.

 

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a memorandum and disposition on Wednesday, rejecting claims from a group of Tesla investors that the instructions a judge gave to jurors before they cleared Musk of liability in a February 2023 verdict were flawed and so warranted a new trial.

 

In the ruling, the three-judge panel concluded that there were no errors in jury instructions that would justify a new trial. The court also found that the instructions did not unfairly raise the burden of proof for the investors, and that the instructions were in line with the law. Continue…

Biden to speed up arms deliveries to Ukraine – media

 

https://www.rt.com/news/607256-biden-rush-ukraine-aid/

 

The US president reportedly wants to leave Kiev in the “strongest position possible” before Donald Trump takes office

 

The White House intends to expedite up to $9 billion in new military aid in a last-ditch effort to arm Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, according to sources in the outgoing administration.

 

Trump, who has criticized President Joe Biden’s generous support for Kiev, could halt or significantly reduce US taxpayer-funded aid, as reported by Reuters and Politico on Wednesday.

 

“The administration plans to push forward… to put Ukraine in the strongest position possible,” a senior official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Von der Leyen to prepare EU for war – defense commission nominee

 

https://www.rt.com/news/607257-von-der-leyen-prepare-war/

 

The bloc must focus on arming Ukraine, Andrius Kubilius has claimed

 

A top priority for the next European Commission will be making the EU self-reliant and ready for war, as the US is likely to focus on China in the coming decades, Andrius Kubilius, the nominee for the EU’s new top defense post, has said.

 

Kubilius made the statement at his confirmation hearing in Brussels on Wednesday, after he was nominated to become the first-ever EU commissioner for defense and space. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen designated the former Lithuanian prime minister for the position in September. The new commission is expected to take office by December 1.

 

“Defense is one of the top priorities for the next Commission,” Kubilius told MEPs. “Von der Leyen’s mission letter tasks me with helping Europe prepare for the most extreme military contingencies, which means preparing for the possibility of Russian aggression.” Continue…

Hurricane Rafael Revs Up To Cat. 2 As Gulf Oil Rigs In Crosshairs

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/hurricane-rafael-revs-cat-2-gulf-oil-rigs-crosshairs

 

Hurricane Rafael intensified to a Category 2 storm on Wednesday morning and may reach Cat. 3 strength on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale by evening. Rafael's cone of uncertainty shifted further west than previous forecasts (read: here & here), putting offshore oil/gas rigs at increased risk across the Gulf of Mexico.

 

The National Hurricane Center in the US said Rafael was just southeast of Havana and packing winds around 100 mph, making it a Cat. 2 storm. The storm is expected to strengthen into a Cat. 3 storm, unleashing "life-threatening storm surge, damaging hurricane-force winds, and flash flooding" across west and central Cuba.

 

"Rafael is likely to remain a hurricane over the southeastern and southern Gulf of Mexico during the next few days," NHC's Dan Brown wrote in a forecast.

 

The current trajectory of the storm puts about 1.55m b/d of oil production at risk, according to Bloomberg calculations of data from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the NHC. Continue…

Deported fentanyl dealer returns to U.S. via Quebec border smuggling ring

 

https://tnc.news/2024/11/07/deported-fentanyl-dealer-returns-border-smuggling/

 

A Dominican Republic man convicted of trafficking fentanyl in the U.S. was deported last year, only to return to the country via Canada with the help of a human smuggler, who aided him in crossing illegally into Vermont through a Quebec forest.

 

According to U.S. federal court records, Luis Edison Capellan-Ortiz was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol last October.

 

The agency discovered him hiding in the woods about four kilometres from the Quebec-Vermont border.

 

Capellan-Ortiz allegedly took off into the woods after border agents spotted a black Honda Pilot SUV with New York plates attempting to pick up him and three other people along Route 105 in Vermont, which they suspected to be a human smuggling run.

 

“Capellan-Ortiz claimed that he was threatened by another man in his country, feared for his family’s lives, and left the Dominican Republic [for] Canada to illegally enter the U.S.,” reads a criminal complaint filed with the U.S. Federal Court, District of Vermont. Continue…

India calls out Canada’s ‘hypocrisy’ towards freedom of speech

New Delhi has slammed Ottawa for allegedly blocking a news outlet that published remarks by the Indian foreign minister

 

India on Thursday claimed that Canada had blocked an Australian media outlet after it published remarks by Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during an official visit to Australia. The minister spoke on the ongoing diplomatic row between New Delhi and Ottawa over the targeting of Sikh separatists in Canada.

 

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, speaking to reporters in New Delhi, alleged that the social media handles and web pages of Australia Today, which he called an “important diaspora outlet” were blocked for viewers in Canada just hours after it reported on a press conference involving Jaishankar and his Australian counterpart Penny Wong. The outlet published several articles on Jaishankar’s visit to Canberra, as well as an interview with him, he added.

 

“So we were surprised. It looks strange to us. But nonetheless, what I will say is that these actions highlight Canada’s hypocrisy towards freedom of speech,” Jaiswal said. Continue…

Trudeau government bans TikTok’s operations in Canada over 'national security concerns'

 

https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-government-bans-tiktoks-operations-in-canada-over-national-security-concerns

 

"We came to the conclusion that these activities that were conducted in Canada by TikTok and their offices would be injurious to national security."

 

The Trudeau government has ordered TikTok to close its Canadian operations in Toronto and Vancouver because of “national security concerns”—even though people will still be able to use the social media app, CBC News reported Tuesday.

 

Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said he couldn’t elaborate on the decision, only that it was based on information that came to light during a national security review that suggested TikTok could be working against Canada’s best interests.

 

"We came to the conclusion that these activities that were conducted in Canada by TikTok and their offices would be injurious to national security," Champagne told CBC News.

 

"I'm not at liberty to go into much detail, but I know Canadians would understand when you're saying the government of Canada is taking measures to protect national security, that's serious."

 

The government emphasized that it will not take steps to block the app in Canada or interfere with Canadians who choose to use TikTok for casual communication or posting documents. "The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice," the statement said.

 

But Champagne somewhat ambiguously suggested that those using TikTok should do so "with eyes wide open,” apparently a veiled reference to communist China having access to anything posted or shared on TikTok. "Obviously, parents and anyone who wants to use social platforms should be mindful of the risk," the minister said.

 

Despite calling it a national security concern, the Trudeau government used the Investment Canada Act, not the National Security Act to shut down TikTok’s offices, disqualifying the social media company from investing in Canada on national security grounds but not suggesting it was doing anything more.

 

TikTok says it is poised for legal action. "Shutting down TikTok's Canadian offices and destroying hundreds of well-paying local jobs is not in anyone's best interest, and today's shutdown order will do just that. We will challenge this order in court," the spokesperson said in an email. Continue…

Trudeau government encourages doctors to issue 'advance directives' for patients seeking MAID

 

https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-government-encourages-doctors-to-issue-advance-directives-for-patients-seeking-maid

 

“We are launching a national conversation and will not be initiating a challenge of Quebec’s Bill 11,” Health Minister Mark Holland said.

 

Quebec is telling its provincial doctors that they can issue “advance directives” to authorize Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) on unresponsive or mentally ill patients. The Quebec legislature’s Bill 11 allows doctors to administer euthanasia providing the patient had previously offered “advance” permission to do so.

 

Critics say it is another example of Canada’s euthanasia program expanding out of control and into the realm of murder. Because the assisted suicide of a mentally ill patient would qualify as murder under the Criminal Code of Canada, Quebec has told its prosecutors to just ignore the law, the National Post reported.

 

The Trudeau government has approved that decision, with the Ministry of Health saying there would be no court challenge even as it discouraged the expansion of the practice outside of Quebec. Yet it also indicated the fundamental fault of the bill.

 

“As the Criminal Code applies uniformly across Canada and does not permit the provision of MAID based on an advance request, providing MAID pursuant to an advance request remains an offense under the Criminal Code,” it read.

 

The parameters of the MAID program allows doctors to administer the procedure for any adult with a “grievous and irremediable medical condition” — but the patient must give “informed consent” before the doctor can continue. The Quebec law simply ignores this and will allow doctors to proceed even if the patient is in a coma, has dementia or “incapable of giving consent to care.”

 

The Quebec law proposes to ignore this, and to allow MAID for anyone with an “advance directive.” Patients can be in a coma, suffering from dementia, or otherwise be “incapable of giving consent to care,” as long as they have previously signed an approval form. But the Trudeau government’s sanction of Quebec’s decision has no basis in law because a province cannot overwrite the federal Criminal Code, meaning that a doctor or nurse administering MAID under these new circumstances could conceivably be charged with murder.

Majority of provinces have more combined debt than GDP: report

 

https://tnc.news/2024/11/07/majority-provinces-more-combined-debt-gdp/

 

Economists at the Fraser Institute warn that seven out of ten provinces have surpassed the threshold of having more combined debt than the value of goods and services they produce. They say that any more government spending at this point will impede economic growth.

 

According to the study, the combined federal and provincial debt for most of Canada’s provinces has exceeded the value of their economies. British Columbia’s debt was 79.2% of its GDP, Saskatchewan’s 77.5%, and Alberta’s combined debt was 63.8% of its economy.

 

The rest of Canada’s provinces ranged on the low end, with Ontario running a debt-to-GDP ratio of 100.3% and, on the high end, Nova Scotia, 114.3%, and Manitoba, with a combined debt of 141.4% of its GDP.

 

The study examined provinces’ debt-GDP ratios, comparing them with average economic growth rates.

 

“When using the same categories, we find provinces with debt loads below 60% have the highest median growth rate and that growth rates fall as debt ratios pass thresholds of 60% and 90%,” the study said. “This approach clearly suggests that higher provincial debt-to-GDP ratios correspond to slower economic growth.”

 

The study concluded that the short-term benefits of increasing government debt-to-GDP ratio through publicly funded investments decreased dramatically in regions with debt exceeding 100% of their GDP. It said that these provinces would not benefit from further government spending, which would increase the debt; instead, it found that increased spending beyond the 100% threshold often decreased economic growth, lowering living standards.

Canada’s healthcare spending among highest in the OECD, outpacing economy

 

https://tnc.news/2024/11/07/healthcare-spending-oecd-outpacing-economy/

 

Canada’s annual health care spending is expected to hit $372 billion this year, a new record high and a dramatic jump from the increases estimated for the previous two years.

 

The Canadian Institute for Health Information released its National health expenditure trends report on Thursday, detailing that total health spending is expected to cost around $9,054 per Canadian in 2024.

 

“It is anticipated that health expenditures will represent 12.4% of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024. Excluding the 2020 and 2021 pandemic period, this is the highest ratio ever reached,” reads the report.

 

“Total health care spending in Canada is expected to increase by 5.7% in 2024, after a rise of 4.5% in 2023 and 1.7% in 2022.”

 

Additionally, the latest Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development data recorded for 2022 revealed that Canada had one of the highest per capita spending amounts when compared to other nations, at $8,119.
