Gruesome: Lawmaker Says Killing People With Assisted Suicide Slashes Health-Care Costs

/1 Comment/in , /by

In what may be one of the more gruesome financial arguments ever, a lawmaker in Scotland has argued that people who die through assisted suicide won’t have many end-of-life care costs, and the savings will cover the expenses of those suicide drugs.

It is the Christian Institute that reported on the arguments from Liam McArthur, a lawmaker in Scotland who designed that nation’s assisted suicide scheme.

McArthur told the Finance and Public Administration Committee of the government’s legislature in Holyrood of the “potential savings” from a lower level of palliative care would mean his bill to expand assisted suicides would be “cost-neutral.”

“Members of the committee questioned McArthur about the costings in his Financial Memorandum, published to accompany his Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill,” the institute reported.

His argument in his memorandum document states, “Community Pharmacy Scotland estimated that, as an example, one substance that may be used in such circumstances would cost an estimated £80 ($100) for each dose provided to a terminally ill adult to end their own life.” (Read more from “Gruesome: Lawmaker Says Killing People With Assisted Suicide Slashes Health-Care Costs” HERE)

Dear Media, Who Was Driving the Car in the German Christmas Market Attack?

/1 Comment/in , /by

It’s sad, but this event was almost predictable. Europe is awash with radical Muslims who wish death upon infidels, and Germany allowed hordes of these people into their country. At a local Christmas market in Magdeburg, one man, a reported Saudi Arabian, plowed through a crowd, killing at least several people and wounding as many as 60-80 others. We don’t have official numbers yet[.] [WARNING: Some graphic images]:

It’s a terror attack, and the suspect isn’t some “driver.” That’s the shameful part that’s being omitted. The headlines read as if this vehicle got a life of its own, like something out of Stephen King’s Christine. It was a Muslim man who decided he wanted to commit an act of radical Islamic terrorism. It’s not just this incident.

Russia Announces It Has Developed a Revolutionary Cancer Vaccine, Guarantees Free Access for All

/1 Comment/in , /by

By MSN. The announcement was made by Dr. Andrey Kaprin, General Director of the Radiology Medical Research Center under Russia’s Ministry of Health, and was reported by the TASS news agency. This innovation has sparked global interest and raised significant hope within the medical and scientific communities.

According to Professor Alexander Gintsburg, Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, the vaccine employs an innovative approach targeting tumors directly. Preclinical trials have shown that the vaccine effectively suppresses tumor growth and inhibits the formation of metastases, addressing one of the most challenging aspects of cancer treatment.

The vaccine leverages mRNA sequences to activate the patient’s immune system. Specifically, it identifies antigens unique to cancer cells and trains the immune system to recognize and destroy them. This cutting-edge method has been made possible through advanced tools like artificial neural networks, developed in collaboration with the Ivannikov Institute in Russia.

Using these algorithms, researchers can tailor the vaccine to individual patients by calculating the precise mRNA modifications needed, drastically reducing production time. “Now it takes quite long to build [personalized vaccines]… But thanks to AI, these procedures can be reduced to about half an hour to an hour,” said Alexander Gintsburg.

Russia Claims It Developed First Cancer Vaccine in Big Breakthrough, Says ‘Will Distribute for Free’

By India TV. The deadly disease, cancer is almost incurable to date and people are terrified of it. But will Russia’s grand claim put an end to cancer? Russia has claimed that it has invented a cancer vaccine that will prevent all types of cancer tumours. According to Russia’s announcement, it has been proved in pre-clinical trials that this vaccine is successful in suppressing cancer tumours. This vaccine makes the body’s immune system so strong that as soon as any cell starts moving towards becoming a cancer cell, the body’s immunity destroys it.

Some time ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a statement on television that we are close to the creation of cancer vaccines and new-generation immunomodulatory drugs. Now the question arises that there is a race to make a cancer vaccine in American and European countries and every day there is some development in it. The third trial of the cancer vaccine of Moderna and Merck company has also been done, but it will take time till 2030 for this vaccine to come. In such a situation, everyone is surprised by this announcement of Russia. Now it is important to know what the doctors of India have to say on this.

When we spoke to Dr Mohammed Taher Mithi, Consultant Surgical Oncologist, Saifee Hospital, Mumbai, he said “The news release by the Russian media mentions the trials as pre-clinical, which means it hasn’t been tested on the population at large. But it is exciting nonetheless and further data and testing would indicate its overall effect on treatment.”

He added, “It works eventually by activating our immune system to eliminate the cancer cells as it would against any foreign antigen. Again it is a vaccine but it is not used to prevent cancers, but rather to treat patients already suffering from cancer.” . . .

According to the News18 report, Dr Shyam Agarwal, Chairman of the Cancer Department at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said that if Russia’s claim is linked to reality, then it can prove to be a milestone in the history of cancer, but we still have to see many things about this Russian vaccine. He said that Russia has claimed that it has prepared a vaccine for many types of cancer based on messenger RNA. M-RNA are tumour cells that have abnormal proteins on their surface. This is called tumour antigen or tumour-associated antigen -TAA. Every type of cancer cell has a different TAA. Also, understand that the antigen that is formed is made from m-RNA. It is a type of protein. Russian scientists say that they have discovered many antigens for different types of cancer.

Russia To Launch Free Cancer Vaccine in 2025

By Newsweek. . .Newsweek has emailed the Russian Ministry of Health, the Russian National Medical Research Radiological Center and the Gamaleya National Research Center to confirm the announcement and clarify how the vaccine works.

It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is supposed to treat, how effective it is or even what the vaccine is called.

It is scientifically feasible that some sort of vaccine may have been developed to target cancer. Other countries are currently working to develop something similar.

For example, in 2023 the U.K. government signed a contract with a German biotechnology company to develop personalized cancer treatments, and pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Merck & Co are currently working on a skin cancer vaccine.

There are even vaccines already on the market that aim to prevent cancer, such as vaccines against human papillomaviruses (HPV), which help prevent cervical cancer. (Read more from “Russia To Launch Free Cancer Vaccine in 2025” HERE)

China Mocks America as ‘Breeding Ground for Delusion’ Over NJ Drones

/0 Comments/in , /by

China’s state-run Global Times on Thursday mocked the United States as a “breeding ground for delusion” because of the furor over drone sightings in New Jersey.

The Chinese Communist propaganda organ was particularly irked by House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul claiming the mysterious aircraft were “Chinese spy drones.”

“Some American politicians seem to have a special preference for sensationalizing the ‘China threat.’ Much like the ‘spy balloon’ incident that unfolded in early 2023, the latest accusations against Chinese drones follow an old script, repackaged with new rhetoric aimed at smearing China,” the Global Times hooted.

The Chinese spy balloon of 2023 was, of course, a real Chinese spy balloon, as numerous studies of its behavior have confirmed. Beijing has developed a penchant for floating suspicious balloons into the air space of adversaries – either to gather information or to test how adversaries respond to the penetration of their air defense zones. . .

“From ‘spy balloons’ to ‘spy cranes’ to ‘spy drones’ … these absurd and paranoid labels reflect the distorted and narrow-minded mentality of some U.S. politicians in their attempts to contain and suppress China,” the Global Times lectured.

Alleged Chinese Spy Linked to Prince Andrew ‘Tip of the Iceberg’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A suspected Chinese spy who became a confidant of disgraced royal Prince Andrew is only the “tip of the iceberg” of Beijing’s espionage activities in the UK, former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith claimed Monday.

Judges on Thursday upheld a ban on the businessman, identified only as H6, from entering the country, saying that the government had been “entitled to conclude that his exclusion was justified and proportionate”.

In the ruling, judges assessed H6 was in a position to “generate relationships between senior Chinese officials and prominent UK figures which could be leveraged for political interference purposes by the Chinese State”.

“The fact is, there are many more like him in the UK,” Duncan Smith, one of the UK’s leading China-sceptic voices, told BBC radio on Monday.

“We’re dealing with the tip of the iceberg,” he added.

NATO Chief Warns Alliance Not Ready for Future Threats From Russia, China

/0 Comments/in , /by

NATO countries need to ramp up their defense spending and “shift to a wartime mindset” because the alliance is not ready to meet future military threats from adversaries like Russia and China, newly installed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Thursday.

In his first public appearance in Brussels since becoming chief of the U.S.-led security alliance, Mr. Rutte noted that NATO members earmarked upwards of 3% of their GDP to defense during the Cold War.

“We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years. Danger is moving toward us at full speed,” Mr. Rutte said during a speech hosted by the Carnegie Europe think tank. “We must not look the other way. We must face it.”

He said Russian arms factories are churning out war equipment around the clock while China’s military-industrial base also is growing. Beijing is heavily investing in munitions, accelerating its space capabilities and expanding its nuclear arsenal.

“Our defense industry here in Europe has been hollowed out by decades of underinvestment and narrow national industrial interests. Our industry is too small, too fragmented, and too slow,” Mr. Rutte said. “According to some sources, China is acquiring high-end weapons systems and equipment five to six times faster than the U.S.” (Read more from “NATO Chief Warns Alliance Not Ready for Future Threats From Russia, China” HERE)

Mayor’s Bank Account Reportedly Seized After Refusing to Celebrate Pride Month

/0 Comments/in , /by

A mayor of a township in Ontario, Canada, reportedly had his personal bank account garnished after he refused to pay a $5,000 fine after a tribunal ruled he had discriminated against an LGBTQ group.

On November 20, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that the township of Emo and its mayor, Harold McQuaker, 77, had discriminated against an LGBTQ group, under the Ontario Human Rights Code, by denying its request to proclaim June as Pride Month. Borderland Pride had requested Emo make the Pride Month declaration and requested the township fly a “LGBTQ2” flag, despite Emo not having an official flag pole.

McQuaker was further found to have violated the human rights code by making a “discriminatory remark” during the town’s council meeting about the flag request, saying that there was no flag for the “other side of the coin… for straight people.”

Tribunal vice-chair Karen Dawson ordered the township to pay a fine of $10,000, while McQuaker was ordered to take a “Human Rights 101” course and pay a $5,000 fine to Borderland Pride.

However, McQuaker publicly said that he wouldn’t pay the fine, calling it “extortion.” (Read more from “Mayor’s Bank Account Reportedly Seized After Refusing to Celebrate Pride Month” HERE)

Canada’s ‘Doctor Death’ Has Killed Hundreds of Patients and Counting

/3 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Ellen Wiebe does not heal her patients. Instead, she kills them.

The doctor operates an abortion mill in Vancouver, called the Willow Clinic, where she also performs assisted suicides. In Canada, this practice of doctors killing their patients is called “medical assistance in dying,” or MAID.

“She does abortions during the day, and then she goes out and provides euthanasia to sick old people,” Angelina Ireland, executive director of the Canadian nonprofit Delta Hospice Society, told The Federalist. “Some might consider her to be a massive serial killer.”

Wiebe once operated a family practice but “now restricts her practice to women’s health and assisted death.” She is the research director of the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) — an organization supporting doctors who deliberately kill their patients — and sits on the clinicians advisory council for the powerful pro-euthanasia lobby Dying With Dignity Canada.

Canada legalized MAID in 2016, revising criminal code to let doctors kill their patients. Officials updated the law in 2021, removing the requirement that a patient’s death be foreseeable. Groups like Dying With Dignity Canada have since been pushing to expand the euthanasia program to “mature minors,” and parliament has been debating the issue.

European Nation Becomes First Country to Overturn Election Over Foreign Interference

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In a globally unprecedented move, Romania’s Constitutional Court overturned the presidential election results after Romania’s intelligence agency alleged foreign interference through social media.

The episode makes Romania the first country to overturn election results due to allegations of foreign meddling through social media, a key flashpoint since allegations began prominently emerging globally after the 2016 U.S. election. In Romania’s case, the court overturned the results after a declassified report from its intelligence agency alleged foreign interference via TikTok.

The report came as Romania’s political establishment tried to figure out how Călin Georgescu, 62, running without a party, came in first in the first round of elections with 22.9% of the vote. His rise blindsided the entire Romanian political scene, especially as he hadn’t participated in any debates, didn’t register significantly in opinion polls, and didn’t belong to a party, something almost unheard of in Romanian politics.

Instead, Georgescu ran an almost exclusively online campaign, centering on TikTok edits of himself. The edits were usually clips of his speeches interwoven with him riding on horseback, swimming in icy mountain waters, or fighting in judo sessions, among other activities. His account quickly went viral, garnering 3.8 million likes and 298,000 followers, while his videos routinely receive millions of views, Politico reported.

Romania has the largest share of per capita TikTok users in Europe, with roughly half of its 19 million population being users of the app, according to data from the World Population Review.

French Government Collapses as Le Pen Joins Leftist Bloc to Oust Globalist PM Over ‘Technocratic’ Budget

/0 Comments/in , /by

The government of France has fallen for the second time this year, as a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Michel Barnier was passed by the National Assembly on Wednesday, giving the former Eurocrat the ignominious distinction of being the shortest tenured prime minister in modern French history.

Just 91 days after being installed in the Hôtel Matignon by President Macron, Michel Barnier saw his government collapse on Wednesday, as Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally (RN) party joined onto a censure motion to dethrone the government launched by the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) bloc, Le Figaro reports.

While Le Pen and her faction gave Barnier’s government benefit of the doubt support following July’s snap legislative elections, in which the National Assembly was left in a three-way split between the leftist NFP, the National Rally, and neo-liberal Macronists, Prime Minister Barnier’s move on Monday to invoke a constitutional loophole in an attempt to push through effective cuts to social security payments to seniors without a vote in the parliament, saw Le Pen revoke her support from the government and announce her support for the NFP’s no confidence vote.

The motion passed the National Assembly on Wednesday as 331 MPs voted in favour of collapsing the government, far surpassing the 289 needed to pass. It marks the first time since 1962 that a government in Paris was ousted by parliamentary vote. Having only served 91 days in the post, former Eurocrat and top Brexit villain Barnier now owns the title for the least time spent as prime minister, behind Pierre Bérégovoy at 362 days, Maurice Couve de Murville at 345 days, Edith Cresson at 322 days, former Macron PM Gabriel Attal whose reign ended at 240 days earlier this year, and Bernard Cazeneuve at 161 days.
