Documents the duo uncovered show that both the FDA and the CDC knew that infant vaccines containing Thimerosal were collectively exposing children to levels of the neurotoxin that far exceeded federal safety guidelines, but that the two agencies covered for the vaccine industry by ignoring this fact. These documents, which were put together by a toxicology consultant who had worked for the FDA and noticed the discrepancies, illustrate once again how key government agencies have deferred to defending the interests of profitable industries over the health of Americans.

In accordance with the 1997 FDA Modernization Act, the American people via Congress ordered that the FDA compile a thorough list of all drugs that contain mercury compounds so that they could be assessed for safety by the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). After this was completed, however, revealing far too much mercury in childhood vaccines, the FDA intentionally stalled in taking action to protect children.

A thorough review put forth by Dr. Barry Rumack, M.D., of Rumack Consulting, clearly showed that routine childhood vaccines containing Thimerosal were exposing children to levels of mercury that could severely harm them. But the FDA chose to conceal this pertinent information in violation of its prescribed duties, and in direct betrayal of the children whose parents’ taxpayer dollars continue to be spent on keeping failed regulatory agencies like the FDA in operation.

“There was no point in time from birth to approximately 16-18 months of age that infants were below the EPA guidelines for allowable mercury exposure,” the Eco Watch article by Kennedy and Redwood explains. “In fact, according to the models, blood and body burden levels of mercury peaked at six months of age at a shockingly high level of 120ng/liter [nanograms per liter]. To put this in perspective, the CDC classifies mercury poisoning as blood levels of mercury greater than 10 ng/L.”

President Trump brings in Robert Kennedy Jr. to head vaccine safety commission

To make matters worse, the FDA actually hired an unqualified pediatrician with very little knowledge of toxicology to cover for the agency’s betrayal of the American people. When later asked about why she agreed to report mercury exposure levels in a deceptive fashion that fit the FDA’s fake narrative that vaccines are safe for children, Dr. Leslie Ball responded that it was “what I was told to do.”

In other words, the FDA hired a hack to be its ministry of propaganda in order to reassure the American public that vaccines are safe – when they most certainly are not – and the agency has yet to be held accountable for this egregious offense against public safety.

Fortunately for Americans, Robert Kennedy Jr., who has worked tirelessly to expose the lies surrounding vaccines, was recently called upon by the Trump administration to head an investigative committee to reassess vaccine safety and come up with a more scientifically-sound and honest way of deciding how to proceed with this controversial medical intervention.

“The CDC brainwashing of the global medical profession, international health agencies and the media regarding the deceitfulness of vaccine ‘safety’ is nothing short of criminal action, which must be addressed at every level: local school districts, state health agencies, national courts globally, and the World Health Organization, a ‘mouthpiece’ of CDC’s deceitfulness and fraudulent research and health recommendations,” says Catherine Frompovich, a vaccine safety advocate and researcher.

The majority of people who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease are 65 years of age or older. It affects over five million people in the United States alone, but it is estimated by the year 2050, that number will reach up to 16 million. And in 2016, it was estimated that Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia would cost the US roughly $216 billion. It is costly and time-consuming — by 2050, it is expected the costs of caring for people with some form of dementia will reach a devastating $1 trillion.

In other words: to promoters of the depopulation agenda, old people with Alzheimer’s disease are an easy target. They’re costly and they can’t function independently; a more cynical person might even say that they are a drain on the system. And in many nursing homes, patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease are often given antipsychotic drugs simply to keep them quiet and placid in their new environment — even in spite of the tremendous risks they pose.

Study shows antipsychotics increase mortality risk

Between the years of 2005 and 2011, a team of researchers studied some 58,000 patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Just over 25 percent of the patients in the study were prescribed some type of antipsychotic medication. Those taking the drugs exhibited a stark increase in mortality risk; they were 60 percent more likely to die because of their medication.

The risk of death was at its peak when patients first began to take the new drugs, but the patients’ mortality risk remained elevated even when the drugs were taken long-term. Patients that were taking more than one antipsychotic exhibited an even higher risk than those taking just one of the risky medications; taking two nearly doubled the chances of dying early. [RELATED: Keep up with the latest research at Scientific.news]

While the study found a correlation between taking an antipsychotic and a higher risk of death in Alzheimer’s patients, a direct cause-and-effect link was not ascertained. The research team, led by Marjaana Koponen, a doctoral student from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Eastern Finland, does say that their findings support previous data, however.

Unapproved and Unsafe

Antipsychotic drugs have never been approved for use in dementia or Alzheimer’s patients by the FDA, but the practice remains frighteningly common. Approximately one-third of dementia patients who spend at least 100 days in a nursing facility will be given some type of antipsychotic — roughly 300,00 people each year. [RELATED: Keep up with the latest regulatory headlines at FDA.news]

Along with the increased risk of mortality, antipsychotics increase the risk of other health conditions in older people. They can cause low blood pressure, movement disorders, and also tend to increase the patients’ risks of falling and getting hurt.

Attorney Joni Moore says that she has sued numerous nursing homes in the state of California “for failing to get informed consent when they use antipsychotic drugs, as required by law.” Moore told NPR, “We learned that the families really weren’t told anything other than, ‘The doctor has ordered this medication for you; please come sign a form,'” says Moore.

One of her clients was a Ms. Kathi Levine, whose mother Patricia Thomas, had Alzheimer’s disease. Thomas had appeared to be doing well until she had a nasty fall and fractured her pelvis. After a brief hospital stay, Thomas went to a nursing home for rehabilitation. Within a week of her arrival at the facility, “[S]he was in a wheelchair, slumped over, sucking on her hand, mumbling to herself, completely out of it, not even aware that I was there.”

Thomas was so out of it, she was unable to participate in her rehabilitation exercises, so she was discharged. It was then that her daughter learned that the nursing home had loaded her mother up on heavy-duty antipsychotics. Ms. Thomas had been prescribed both Risperdal and Haldol — two very strong drugs. It is worth noting that this drug combination is known to be potentially life-threatening to begin with. She never spoke again and two months after being discharged, she passed away.

Levine and her attorney, Moore filed a class-action lawsuit against the nursing home and a settlement was eventually reached.

It’s not just the failure of nursing homes to get informed consent — it is the very concept of using drugs to “quiet” patients that should be intolerable. It seems rather unlikely that most doctors who prescribe these drugs to the elderly are totally unaware of the potential risks; it’s not even an FDA-approved practice, and these drugs come with black-box warning labels on them that explicitly state they are risky for patients with dementia. So you have to wonder: is it really on purpose? (RELATED: Follow more news on brain health at Brain.news.)

Agence France Press ran a story a few days ago that is long on claims and short on facts. For instance, the story claimed that Mexicans:

— Are angry about President Donald Trump’s insistence that their country pay for the border wall;

— Are set in mass numbers to boycott American products and brands (the story mentioned three: Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Coca-Cola);

— Are using pro-Mexico hashtags all over social media.

The story appears to be the latest attempt by the media to make Mexico appear as though it is being victimized by the Trump administration and has to “fight back.” But the reality is just the opposite, as usual. (RELATED: How is the media failing you today? Discover the truth at MediaFactWatch.com)

As reported by SHTFPlan.com, if anyone should be worried, it’s Americans, making it even more necessary than ever to have that border wall Trump has set in motion.

Much of Mexico is ungovernable, and that is due in large part to the heavy presence and influence of the country’s large and dangerous drug cartels. Many of them wield more firepower than many Mexican army units and they have more cash at their disposal than entire states. One former Mexican foreign affairs secretary, Jorge Castañeda Gutman, has all but threatened they would be unleashed on the American public if Trump doesn’t back down from his pledges.

In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, an accused serial plagiarist, Gutman hinted that his country’s so-called drug enforcement assistance to the U.S. might not only be pulled, but the cartels might actually be turned on our country.

“Mexico has a lot of negotiating chips in this matter, Fareed, but it also has measures we could take in other areas,” he said, as quoted by STHFPlan.com. “For example, the drugs that come through Mexico from South America, or the drugs that are produced here in Mexico all go to the United States. This is not our problem. We have been cooperating with the United States for many years on these issues because they’ve asked us to and because we have a friendly, trustful relationship. If that relationship disappears, the reasons for cooperation also disappear.”

Did Gutman just threaten to export Mexico’s drug violence to the United States, as it has been exporting its poverty and criminals for decades? Some would certainly view it as a threat, and they’d be right.

There’s little question that the Mexican government has long been infested with officials and mid-level careerists who are owned and operated by the cartels. Graft and corruption is rampant in Mexico. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2008 that then-Mexican President Felipe Calderon said his government was making a bit of progress in battling the cartels but “that graft remained a threat to the nation’s efforts against crime.”

The paper noted further:

Mexico has long been rife with corruption, which ranges from the small bribes that motorists pay traffic officers to the suitcases of cash that drug traffickers have delivered to law enforcement authorities. Ordinary Mexicans routinely pay bribes to get telephone service, loans, and even parking spaces.

Little changed in the ensuing years, except maybe that cartel violence only got worse. As Breitbart reported in December 2015, that year was “filled with drug violence, controversy, and crime.” In fact, rather than see decreases, “the country has begun to see escalating violence in places previously untouched.” (RELATED: Keep up with all of the threats to American society at Collapse.news)

Drug cartels regularly gun down scores of rivals, kill local officials who refuse to be bribed, behead victims, and fill mass graves. And now, at least one former Mexican official wants to see the same thing happen in American cities.

It’s not hard to understand why Mexican officials are petrified that the Trump administration is going to make good on its promises to build a wall (on Mexico’s peso), and crack down on border security: Once those two things happen, it will be much more difficult for the country to export it’s social ills.

But given Gutman’s not-so-veiled warning, it’s just further justification for Trump to keep his campaign promise to keep Americans safe.

But some administrations make their own scandals, either through acts of omission or acts of commission. For the outgoing Obama administration, it was guilty of both: Creating scandal through direct implementation of policies and by ignoring or attempting to cover up misbehavior and illegality.

Though this is largely a mental exercise—we don’t seriously expect any legal action to be taken against any of the people listed below—the country would be better served, and future leaders, appointees and careerists would be forewarned, if the incoming Trump administration would make examples out of at least some of them.

They include:

— President Barack Obama: There is only one way, constitutionally, to hold presidents legally accountable for their actions in office—impeachment. Unfortunately, successive congresses during his tenure elected not to do so, and frankly, that’s because members of his own Democratic Party would never have gone along with Republican demands that he be held liable for the many unconstitutional actions he took. It takes a simple majority in the House to impeach a president, but two-thirds of the Senate must vote to actually convict, and there were never enough Republicans or Democrats who would have done so.

Every time ‘President Pen & Phone’ went around Congress to change U.S. law by executive order, he committed “high crimes and misdemeanors”—the constitutional standard for impeachment proceedings. He did so with immigration law, appointments to federal agencies and by ordering the U.S. military into action without proper authorization. Here’s a comprehensive list.

Obama should have also been held liable for money laundering and, perhaps, even bribery, as part of his Iran ‘nuclear deal’. Recall that as part of the deal, Obama authorized a payment of $400,000 to Iran that was actually delivered on a pallet via a cargo plane in the middle of the night.

White House liar-in-chief Josh Earnest claimed that the money—paid in euros and other currencies—was not a ransom payment to get back four Americans illegally detained in Iran, but Republicans and even some Justice Department officials begged to differ and saw the payment for exactly what it was: A ransom, in violation of every sense of good diplomacy and better judgement.

And while the president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he does not have the authority to order the assassination of anyone, especially American citizens living overseas, no matter what they have been accused of. And yet Obama has ordered scores of assassinations using drones all over the world. In addition to the president, anyone serving Obama who had a hand in carrying out these illegal orders should also be held liable.

— Attorney General Eric Holder: Tops on the list for this former Obama Cabinet member occurred early in his tenure. “Operation Fast and Furious,” which was a “gun-walking” op that saw the Justice Department, via the ATF, allow thousands of semi-automatic rifles “walk” into Mexico from U.S. gun dealers, in an unsuccessful bid to track them to drug cartels, was actually something else.

It was a very early attempt by Holder (and Obama) to enact stricter gun control measures. In 2013, investigative reporter Sharryl Attkisson reported that, according to ATF documents, officials within the agency used the operation to argue for “controversial new rules” about gun sales.

The reason why he should be held to account legally is because hundreds of people, including federal agents, have been killed by the weapons that the ATF, at Holder’s behest, trafficked into Mexico.

— Lois Lerner: You may have forgotten her, but she was integral to the administration’s attempt to politically weaponized the Internal Revenue Service.

Lerner was the head of the Exempt Organizations division around the time of Obama’s reelection campaign, in 2011-2012, who [allegedly] led an effort to freeze out conservative political organizations seeking tax exempt status ahead of the election. The delay meant they could not engage in any political activity on behalf of Republican candidates such as promoting and supporting them publicly, which was not only an abuse of the IRS’ power but a gross constitutional violation (First Amendment).

Indeed, as we reported, Obama’s IRS was completely compromised in that it regularly engaged in political activity of its own to help Left-wing causes and the administration. But we don’t know what Lerner’s full involvement was because she continually pleaded her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination (which only guilty people tend to do). She should be made to testify in court as to what her role actually was and then punished accordingly, so that the IRS is never again used as a weapon against political opponents—since Obama’s Justice Department refused to do so.

— Hillary Clinton: There is so much red meat, legally speaking, when it comes to two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton, it’s hard to know where to start. So we’ll just go at it from the beginning, in bulleted format:

* Private email server: From before she began her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat heading up the State Department, Clinton set up her own ‘home brew’ email server, which she used throughout her days as secretary of state. Not only was this highly unethical and unorthodox, her unsecured server was used to conduct official State Dept. business, which included handling the most sensitive and highly classified material—a felony violation of the Espionage Act and other statutes governing the handling of such material. Even Obama knew she was doing this, because he used an alias to email her on occasion.

* There are many indications that Clinton used her position as secretary of state to enrich her husband (and herself, indirectly) as well as their foundation. Not only are such actions highly unethical, but they very likely ran afoul of U.S. law.

* In all, Clinton violated nearly a dozen statutes and laws during her tenure, as well as harmed U.S. national security and put every single American at risk, no matter what their political affiliation, and she should be held accountable.

* Clinton was the initiator of the Iran nuclear deal, which will eventually lead to a new conflict in the Middle East as the West (and Israel) will have to, at some point in the future, deal with a nuclear-armed Iran threatening its neighbors.

— John Kerry: Taking over for Clinton at the State Department, Kerry saw the Iran nuclear deal to its end, and thus shares in the fallout (no pun intended) that will stem from it.

In addition, Kerry had a part in securing treaties disguised as ‘international agreements’ which should have been subjected to advice-and-consent votes in the Senate (where he served for decades), because they violated the U.S. Constitution.

Kerry was also accused of violating international law by the Palestinian government for suggesting that refugees be resettled in countries other than their home country.

— George Soros: Nearly all of the political protesting and chaos in American society during the presidential campaign and since has billionaire Hungarian financial guru George Soros’ fingerprints all over it.

As reported by Bugout.news, his meddling and financing of protests that resulted in property damage and injuries to Americans amounts to sedition, and he should be investigated and charged:

Not only should American cities rocked and burned by protests fueled with Soros money bill him for the damage, they should seek legal action against him as well. You can provide people with the opportunity to protest, but you cannot spur them to riot, loot and destroy.

Protests that he fueled cost cities tens of millions of dollars (like Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore); much of what was destroyed will never be rebuilt.

“George Soros should be arrested, tried and convicted, with the message sent loud and clear: If you conspire to destroy American cities, you will be held accountable,” Bugout.news reported.

­— Obama, Clinton and Kerry: Because of the manner in which they supported Left-wing revolutionary movements in the Middle East, several governments there have either been toppled or are fighting for their survival in attempts to put down insurrections and civil war. These three are guilty of war crimes involving the murders or killing of hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Egypt and Libya, for starters.

Trump has said he has no interest in pursuing criminal charges against anyone in the outgoing Obama administration, even though many of them deserve it. But that leaves room for those he appoints to do so, if cause is warranted. We’ll see what happens.

Out-of-pocket expenses have been rising for health insurance premiums, deductibles and prescription medications, with Big Pharma operating as a legalized drug cartel. Keeping prices high while greasing the federal regulatory system (and politicians’ reelection funds) has really taken its toll on our pocketbooks.

But we may have a knight in shining armor riding to the rescue: President-elect Donald J. Trump, who has pledged in recent days to take on the Big Pharma drug cartels with regulatory reforms that will most certainly result in lower prices.

In his first press conference recently, Trump discussed how the pharmaceutical industry has far too much power and influence over U.S. lawmakers and policymakers.

“Pharma has a lot of lobbyists and a lot of power,” said Trump. “There’s very little bidding on drugs. We’re the largest drug buyer in the world, and we’re going to start bidding. We’re going to start saving billions of dollars on drugs.” (RELATED: See more coverage of President Trump at Trump.news)

The president-elect is talking about the fact that every other president and Congress in recent history, including Clinton, Bush and Obama, have maintained what is essentially a “monopoly drug-pricing cartel” in the U.S. through the adoption of policies that eliminate outside and foreign competition, ensuring that the largest buyer of healthcare products—the U.S. government—pays the highest prices possible for drugs. While Medicare and Medicaid do not pay full price for most healthcare services, prescription drugs are often way over-priced. (RELATED: Learn about pharmaceutical price fixing at Rigged.news)

But the government also pays through federal health coverage plans and via the VA hospital system, where there is little competitive pricing. Much of this is due to an army of Big Pharma lobbyists who pretty much ‘bribe’ lawmakers and presidents to enact policies that keep prices high by eliminating true competitive bidding for prescription medication contracts [RELATED: Keep current with daily medical news coverage at Medicine.news]

Just how much money are we talking about here? In 2015 alone, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, “Spending on prescription drugs outpaced all other services,” with the government shelling out an incredible $324.6 billion for prescription drugs only.

The same report notes that healthcare spending in the United States has risen in the age of Obama and Obamacare, to $3.2 trillion annually, or roughly $10,000 per person; little wonder why the industry wouldn’t want to change the way things are.

But the fact is, the spending level on healthcare is breaking our bank. During Obama’s eight-year tenure, our national debt doubled from roughly $10 trillion to nearly $20 trillion today. If healthcare spending is not curbed and soon, it will consume 25 percent of our annual gross domestic product, meaning one out of every four dollars generated in the entire U.S. economy will be going to drug makers, cancer treatment centers, physicians, hospitals and medical device manufacturers.

As reported by Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger:

Obviously, that rate of expenditure is unsustainable. It also makes U.S. workers far more expensive than workers in overseas regions, harming the economic competitiveness of U.S. companies. In order for U.S. workers to remain competitive, U.S. health care costs need to be drastically reduced… and that means finally forcing drug companies to compete on pricing rather than receiving “full retail” monopoly-priced reimbursements from the federal government.

It should be noted, as documented in “The Hillary Files,” a white paper by the editors of NewsTarget, that had Hillary Clinton won instead of Trump, nothing would have changed because she was bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical industry she claimed to want to “reform.”

Trump hasn’t taken office yet so it’s unclear at this point if he’ll be able to do what he says. But at least he’s talking about reining in out-of-control drug pricing, as well as repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Around the world there is a growing push for the legalization of medical and recreational cannabis, especially as the therapeutic value of the plant becomes more widely documented and acknowledged by the medical and scientific community.

Currently, Uruguay is the only nation that has completely legalized cannabis for recreational and medical use, but several other countries have decriminalized marijuana use, and in some, medical and/or recreational marijuana is either already legal or legalization is under consideration.

More than 20 countries are now introducing legislation allowing either medical or recreational cannabis use; in 2017, Canada plans to legalize and regulate both.

From CNN:

“Ireland, Australia, Jamaica and Germany approved measures this year for its medicinal use, while Australia also granted permission for businesses to apply for licenses to manufacture or cultivate marijuana products for medicinal purposes and to conduct related research. Decisions are still pending in South Africa.”

Testing the waters

Because legalization is such a new issue – there are few road maps in terms of regulation, taxation and public safety, for example – other nations are looking to the United States and other countries where the herb is already legal or decriminalized as examples, and are carefully monitoring how things are working out there.

So far, the experiments have been working. In the United States, legalization has largely proven to be a success. States like Colorado, for example, have seen dramatic tax revenue increases and a decrease in drug-related crime. And there have been surprising and unexpected benefits as well, such as the fact that traffic fatalities in many states have dropped significantly since legalization went into effect.

As in the United States, where marijuana laws differ from state to state, marijuana policies abroad also differ from country to country, but with the same general results. In other words, countries that have either decriminalized or legalized cannabis have seen positive results.

An interesting example is Portugal, which in 2001 decriminalized all drugs for personal use. Since then, that country has seen crime and hard drug addiction rates drop dramatically, proving that decriminalization works – and not just for marijuana use.

In the Netherlands, where weed has been more or less legal for 40 years, the percentage of the population who use marijuana is far lower than that of the United States. Incidentally, the rate of incarceration in the Netherlands is one-tenth that of the United States.

The truth shall prevail

Decades of drug war propaganda brainwashing is slowly beginning to wear off, particularly as new scientific evidence pours in documenting the nearly-miraculous properties of cannabis in treating a wide range of conditions.

Videos showing Parkinson’s sufferers and children with epilepsy obtaining instant relief from their symptoms after taking a few drops of cannabis oil are going viral, and after watching such videos it’s difficult to imagine anyone being opposed to the use of cannabis as medicine.

And so, as the blinders come off and the truth about cannabis becomes more widely disseminated, governments and citizens throughout the world are beginning to embrace the fact that marijuana is not a dangerous substance that should be outlawed. In fact, its use is beneficial and should be made completely legal, without any accompanying social stigma or criminal penalties.

At this point, the only people who oppose legalization are the ones who have either been duped by decades worth of “war on drugs” rhetoric, or those who continue to profit from cannabis prohibition, i.e. law enforcement agencies, drug cartels and industries like Big Pharma and for-profit prisons.

As anyone with a functioning brain already knows, the unhinged left is utterly clueless about the properties of “facts” or where they come from. To them, “facts” are whatever their friends keep repeating, even if they have no basis whatsoever in evidence or reality. In essence, “facts” are whatever they believe, while “fake news” is whatever you believe. (It really is that simple in their feeble brains.)

So consider these top 10 most delusional “facts” we’ll soon see rolled out as “truth” by the newly-sprung news cartels operating inside Fakebook.

“Fact” #1: Eating meat is cruelty to animals, but harvesting the organs of living, partially-born human babies isn’t cruel at all

Somehow, the delusional left has decided that animals are conscious beings but not human babies. Yeah, it’s insane, I know. Liberalism is best defined as a kind of mental illness where a person can hold two utterly contradictory thoughts in their head at the same time while simultaneously believing them both.

To demonstrate this particular brand of lunacy, a Beastie Boy recently announced a new line of “cruelty free” sneakers with proceeds to benefit abortion providers. Yep, “no animals were harmed in the process of butchering these babies” might as well be the sicko slogan of the unhinged left.

“Fact” #2: If not for the burning of fossil fuels, Earth’s climate would never change at all

At first, they called their hoax “global warming,” but when it turned out the Earth wasn’t warming at all — funny how that works when you use actual data instead of fraudulently altered numbers — they had to roll out a more encompassing name: Climate Change.

According to Climate Change cultists — named thusly because no amount of evidence can alter their “faith” in Climate Change — Earth’s climate never changed at all until humankind came along and started burning fossil fuels.

But now — OMG! — every hurricane, flood, drought, forest fire and freezing arctic blast is automatically attributed to “climate change.” Yep, especially among young leftists who have been indoctrinated by the lies of government-run schools, they think their ancestors lived in a time when Earth was eternal Spring, with no climate variation or natural disasters whatsoever.

It’s only because you and I are using air conditioning and driving SUVs that the planet has become angry, unleashing all sorts of climatic “changes” that otherwise would have never occurred. This explanation, you may have noticed, closely resembles the superstitions of 5th-century humans who largely believed that bad weather and solar eclipses were caused by “angry gods” seeking to punish them. In over 1000 years, we’ve learned nothing, it seems, and “progressives” have thrust us back to an era of incredible ignorance and superstition where scientific evidence is abandoned for the sake of powerful cult-like beliefs.

“Fact” #3: People with XY chromosomes can instantly transform all their genes into XX chromosomes by declaring themselves to be women (the Theory of Spontaneous Genetic Transmutation…)

Ask any young liberal and they’ll tell you there are at least 30 genders, maybe even more if you count “TransUnicorn.” If you can stop laughing hilariously, ask them whether sex is determined by genetic expression or by a “choice.” They will insist it’s a “choice!”

And just like that, the delusional leftists discard centuries of scientific knowledge in genetics, sexual reproduction, phenotype expressions and physical reality. If you dare point out to them that “transgenderism is a mental illness,” they will label you a purveyor of either hatred or “fake news.”

To them, a “feeling” is more REAL than actual science, you see. And if a young man sucks down enough bisphenol-A to start “feeling” like a woman, then his womanhood is accepted as a “fact” by the deranged lunatic left. Some of them even insist that such “gender-fluid” biological males can get pregnant and have babies!

I have named this hilarious bit of leftish delusional idiocy the Theory of Spontaneous Genetic Transmutation. This theory is quite literally accepted as “fact” by nearly every liberal under the age of 30.

“Fact” #4: Media news coverage during the presidential campaign was completely fair to both Clinton and Trump, but the DNC hacks were one-sided, and thus totally unfair

Yep, according to the delusional left, the almost universally glowing media coverage of Hillary Clinton — alongside relentless media attacks waged against Trump — were “fair and balanced.” But Trump won the election because the DNC hacks (which were actually leaks from a Bernie Sanders supporter, not hacks at all) were totally unfair because they only leaked the emails of the democrats, not republicans.

Hidden in that protest is an astonishing presumption that all the leaked DNC emails were true! And they reveal a deeply shocking level of collusion inside the DNC to destroy Bernie Sanders and steal the nomination for Hillary Clinton.

“Fact” #5: Hillary Clinton should be President because she won the popular vote, but when Bernie Sanders kept winning the popular vote during the primary, Clinton somehow got all the delegates… hmmm…

Hilariously, the Clinton campaign (and all delusional leftists in general) only believes in “popular votes” when they win the popular vote. When they don’t win the popular vote, they believe in rigging the delegates to make sure their candidate gets the delegate votes even if they lost the popular vote. This is exactly how Hillary Clinton kept walking away with the vast majority of delegates even in states where Bernie Sanders won the popular votes (sometimes in a landslide).

Beyond all that, the presidential election is not determined by popular votes, or else Donald Trump would have campaigned heavily in places like New York City and Los Angeles. The winner is determined by Electoral Votes, which is why Donald Trump campaigned in the areas that deliver electoral victories. (Gosh, is he supposed to be a bad person for following the rules and winning by those rules?)

If the Clinton campaign didn’t think the Electoral College was fair, why didn’t they protest it before the results revealed Hillary to be the loser? The answer, of course, is because nearly every leftist in America was completely convinced that Hillary Clinton would win the election (because that’s what the media echo chamber told them). Hilariously, this caused many of them to avoid going out to vote, thereby ensuring their ballot box loss. CNN’s false media narrative that Hillary was “unbeatable,” in other words, may have actually handed Donald Trump the election victory. (Such is the price of extreme arrogance.)

“Fact” #6: There’s no such thing as a hate crime against white people

According to the lunatic left, “hate crimes” can only be committed by white people against people of color. The opposite cannot occur because white people “deserve” to be beaten, raped, or shot by people of color, you see. (For the record, I am a person of color, which means I am therefore incapable of committing any hate crime myself, you see.)

Thus, when a group of Black Lives Matter terrorists marches in the streets calling for the open murder of white people — or dragging people out of their vehicles and beating them solely because of their white skin color — they are not engage in hate crimes at all, according to the delusional left. Instead, they are said to be engaged in “social justice.” Because, you see, violence is always called “justice” by the worst criminals in every collapsing society.

This is why the entire left-wing media censors all news about black people attacking white people, but strongly emphasizes all news about white people attacking black people. It’s all part of controlling the narrative to paint the kind of one-sided propaganda that the delusional left depends on for its very survival.

For the record, here at Natural News, we believe that there is no such thing as a thought crime. Crimes of violence are crimes in and of themselves due to their actions. Attaching a layer of “hate” to the motivation behind such a crime is a grave injustice. Crimes should be prosecuted based on the actions of those who committed them, not on the words uttered while carrying them out. Otherwise, we are admitting that words are crimes.

“Fact” #7: Guns are conscious, self-animating objects that leap out of their holsters and shoot people all on their own

According to delusional leftists who essentially believe in magic, guns are self-directed objects that shoot people all on their own. Leftists truly believe that a gun in a room can leap to its feet, target individuals and discharge bullets without needing to be actuated by the will of a person.

This is where the delusional left comes up with meaningless phrases like “gun violence,” placing the emphasis on the inanimate object rather than the person deploying it. There is no such thing as “gun violence” any more than there is “hammer violence” when murderers use hammers.

When Somali tribes commit mass murder against each other using machetes, the left never describes such events as “machete violence” and tries to blame machetes. Ever wonder why? Because that would sound incredibly stupid. But when it comes to guns, the left gladly invokes the phrase “gun violence” in order to blame guns rather than people. It’s a deliberately loaded phrase that’s designed to blame guns rather than the mostly left-wing criminals who use them to commit violence against society.

Similarly, when radical Islamic terrorists used an ice cream truck to mow down tourists in Paris, the left-wing media reported the mass murder as being carried out by the truck! News reports proclaimed, “TRUCK runs over 85 people…” or “Authorities are searching for TRUCK that murdered 85…”

Somehow, it never occurs to idiotic leftists that a terrorist was driving the truck. And if trucks are such murderous instruments of death, then why isn’t the left calling for a nationwide truck ban?

“Fact” #8: Only progressives can identify “facts” … everyone else doesn’t know what they’re talking about

This “fact” is the best one of all. According to the delusional, fringe left, only people who support left-wing policies can recognize or identify “facts.”

This twisted special sauce of circular logic is what leftists tell themselves when they proclaim their version of “facts” to be absolute and authoritative, while anyone else’s version of “facts” are nothing but lies and falsehoods.

Thus, the lunatic left believes it gets facts straight from God in a sort of “divining ritual” from which indisputable facts emerge much like a genie might appear after vigorously rubbing a brass lamp.

This “monopoly of facts” is the sole domain of liberals, you see, and they know this because so many of them agree with that supposition, thus proving it to be true by “social consensus.” They surveyed each other, you see, and now they cite the survey which states that “100% of all people everywhere participate in surveys.” This, too, is a “fact” of the delusional left-wing media.

(It’s kind of convenient for journalists at the Washington Post when they merely need to cite each other as “unnamed sources” for whatever news they happen to be fabricating at the moment, too. Who needs actual intelligence sources when WashPost reporters can circle jerk each other for made-up quotes that get worked into their front page fabrications?)

“Fact” #9: Intentions count more than actions

Obama is a good President and a good person. How do we know that? Because he has good intentions.

Never mind the fact that he doubled the national debt to nearly $20 trillion. Never mind the fact that his DOJ masterminded a gun-running operation to put illegal weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels (Operation Fast and Furious). Never mind the indisputable observation that he was a race baiter who created division, hatred and distrust across America’s cultural fabric. And pay no attention to the astonishing job loss, unemployment and plummeting wages caused by the Obamacare scheme he championed as some sort of twisted, pathetic “legacy.”

Nope, you’re not supposed to consider actual reality when it comes to judging people on the left. They are all given a pass on their behavior as long as they have good intentions, you see.

This is why it doesn’t matter to the left that Bill Clinton is an accused rapist, sexual molester and repeated attacker of multiple women who have openly and publicly accused him of sexual assault. According to the delusional left, Bill Clinton gets a free pass on all that because he’s a good liberal. He has compassion, don’t you know? He supports abortion, carbon taxes and banning the Second Amendment. Thus, according to the left, it doesn’t matter how many women he raped, abused or molested.

Facts be damned. When it comes to protecting the champions of the political left, no amount of legitimate evidence of criminal wrongdoing can overcome the left’s blind faith in their so-called leaders, even if they be pedophiles ordering sicko sessions with minors like buying pizza off a menu.

“Fact” #10: Bigger government is always the answer

No matter what challenges society may face, the disconnected left believes bigger government is always the answer.

Got a problem with people drinking too much soda? We need bigger government to function as “food police” and criminalize large sodas offerings.

Are too many dementia patients forgetting where they are and wandering aimlessly across mall parking lots? We need bigger government, the left insists, to microchip and track the location of all those afflicted with “mental disorders.” (It’s true, Congress just passed the law for government to microchip citizens.)

Can’t afford your rent? Mobile phone bills? Groceries? Don’t worry, the government will create a new program to take money from all those who earned it and redistribute the funds to loyal democrat voters who consume it (while, of course, padding the pockets of the politically connected elite along the way).

According to the delusional left, there’s no problem too large that even larger government can’t solve! Their utopian economy, in fact, is a system where the free market is abolished and replaced by a centrally planned economy which values “equality” above all else.

Our world already has a system like that, by the way. It’s called “Venezuela.” And right now, all the self-righteous Venezuelans who voted for “equality” are eating out of grocery store dumpsters while having their cash criminalized and confiscated by the very same government they stupidly put into power. (Will socialists never learn?)

The greatest “fact” of all is the fact that leftists have increasingly become fact-free lunatics

So let’s cut the crap. Almost everything the lunatic left insists is a “fact” turns out to be a fairy tale or outright lie. Polar bears are going extinct! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor! Raising taxes on corporations is good for creating jobs! Hillary Clinton believes in honoring the outcome of all democratic elections… except for the ones she loses. And if you lose an election in a democracy, the correct course of action, according to the left, is to keep threatening electoral voters with murder until you get your way.

It turns out that, for the most part, leftists are fact-free lunatics. I could lay out a hundred striking examples of the lunacy and contradictions of the delusional left, but you probably already see many of them yourself. The left has become so deranged and disconnected from reality that their cheap tactics of race baiting and slandering their political opponents simply don’t work anymore.

The political left in America, which was once a semi-respected organization that opposed George Bush’s corporate-run wars and fought to reduce air pollution has become a twisted cabal of deranged fringe lunatics who have already crossed the threshold of mental illness. Now, with the help of Fakebook — which has become the online equivalent of Darth Vader — they’re going to try to steamroll society with a whole new set of fabricated “facts” that will also fail miserably… just like their recent election efforts.

Facts are stubborn things. More importantly, no one has a monopoly on them. Those who try to censor whatever “facts” they don’t agree with will only end up making the things they dispute increasingly popular for the simple reason that human beings are curious about the world around them, and they don’t take kindly to having a homogenized, sanitized worldview shoved down their throats by self-proclaimed “fact checkers” who genuinely belong in a psychiatric ward.

But don’t take my word for anything. After all, everything I’ve written here is merely my opinion. Open your eyes, explore the world for yourself, and make up your own mind. That simple act, by the way, will make you a lifelong enemy of the left… which demands you remain blindly obedient to their “facts” even when your own direct experiences contradict them. Remember: The ultimate goal of the radical left is to make you abandon trust in your own senses, thoughts and logical conclusions. Only then can they dominate your existence with their fabrications that any clear-headed person would instantly see right through.

According to an exclusive report by Dave Hodges, host of The Common Sense Show, an “insider eyewitness” is claiming that California Gov. Jerry Brown, members of the Obama administration, terrorists, drug cartels and a number of national and international crime figures are actually fueling the so-called “Calexit” movement – the push to extract the state from the union rather than remain in a U.S. that is led by Trump.

Hodges said that his exclusive report is based largely on material provided by the witness “as related to me by Paul Preston of Agenda 21 Radio/Red State Radio,” a host heard “on several stations in Northern California.”

Here’s the story.

An incredible effort to create a narco-state and destroy the U.S. is underway

In a series of interviews Hodges conducted with Preston, he says the Red State Radio host is supporting a separate “State of Jefferson” movement, an effort being pushed by counties in northern California and southern Oregon to form the 51st state. Hodges said that effort is being driven largely by the fact that two federal agencies – the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continually harass farmers and ranchers, driving many off their land. Hodges added that both agencies are destroying dams and threatening the livelihoods of nearly everyone in that area.

Preston said he thinks the movement needs one more year before it has a chance at being successful. But while working to make the state of Jefferson a reality, he and others discovered the Calexit movement, which Preston and the others believe imperil the Jefferson movement.

In fact, Hodges wrote, “the Calexit movement may be the most controversial, criminal and treasonous subject ever covered by The Common Sense Show.” He added that he rushed his article to publication before he was actually ready because he “made a decision that spreading the word about this danger to both the citizens of California and ultimately, the United States, outweighed the wait for more critical facts…”

Preston told Hodges he has been receiving reports that a number of state lawmakers including California Senate pro tem Kevin de Leon, as well as state representatives from Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, have all met with members of Hispanic racialist group La Raza (Spanish for “The Race”), the Mexican government (consulate), the Mexican Mafia (“La EME”), violent Mexican gangs in California and even religious leaders (Catholic/Jesuits) “to come up with a plan to separate from the United States the above-mentioned states.”

Preston said that Brown, his aides and the officials with the Bank of China have attended several of the meetings that are designed to separate California from the U.S. Hodges added that, separate from Preston’s information, he has learned that billionaire investor George Soros – the man behind nearly all Left-wing hate and violence this past election cycle—is financing some of the efforts associated with these movements.

And perhaps even more shocking is the involvement in this effort of the Sasakawa Japanese crime family – the same one that engineered the brutal “Rape of Nanking” at the outset of World War II.

The movement is growing in size and intensity

Preston also told Hodges that his insider not only reported on attendees to the Calexit meetings, but has also confirmed that the Obama administration had three members in attendance as well thus far, and that the White House has thrown its full support behind the movement – a point that Hodges sais “cannot [be] emphasized too strongly.”

Preston said that the insider has noted La Raza – or more formally the National Council of La Raza, a Left-wing group advocating open borders and the ‘return’ of ‘stolen land’ to Mexico – appears to be at the center of this movement, though it has grown considerably since, involving far more people and groups.

“The bad guys on the border have lots of money and what they are putting money into is into spoofing and jamming GPS systems. We’re funding some advances so we can counter this,” Timothy Bennett, a science-and-technology program manager at the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees CBP, told Defense One.

The bad guys aren’t terrorists, just traffickers, Bennett clarified in the Dec. 16 interview.

“It’s more about trafficking drugs and people,” he said. “We know who’s over there. We can guess who’s doing it.”

The DHS official said that the Border Patrol and Customs agencies have a rapid and growing need for “small” unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. But those are much more susceptible to spoofing and hacking than larger drones built to military specifications.

“The manufactures know it’s an issue. They’re not going to advertise it as an issue. It becomes cost-prohibitive. They’re not going to, all of a sudden, put it in their aircraft because it does drive the price up,” Michael Buscher, CEO of Vanguard Defense Industries, told the defense news site.

DHS officials could not say how often traffickers were able to either spoof or jam UAVs deployed along the border. However, Bennett said the hack attacks are making it much more difficult for law enforcement personnel to map out and monitor drug- and people-smuggling routes.

“You’re out there looking, trying to find out this path [they’re] going through with drugs, and we can’t get good coordinate systems on it because we’re getting spoofed. That screws up the whole thing,” Bennett said. “We got to fix that problem.”

Other problems with the DHS drone program include additional costs that have led to large areas of the border being essentially unguarded and wide open, Defense One reported. They include:

— The DHS drone-buying program has spent $360 million since 2005, and much of the program has been a failure, according to internal analyses;

— Actual per-hour flight costs are about six times more than what DHS budgeted for;

— CBP has had little to show for the expensive drone effort, accounting for just 2 percent of apprehensions along the Southwest border.

“CBP has invested significant funds in a program that has not achieved the expected results, and it cannot demonstrate how much the program has improved border security. The $443 million CBP plans to spend on program expansion could be put to better use by investing in alternatives,” a recent audit by the DHS inspector general concluded.
