Why Are Facebook’s ‘Community Standards Overseers’ Protecting Antifa?

We recently published an article about how some change the narrative to blame others for what they are actually doing.

The article was titled Why American Fascist bullies call themselves Anti-fascists and others Fascists!

This column was used by Facebook’s community standards “overseers” as an excuse to censor us and then lock us out of our Facebook page.

The very same afternoon that we posted this article on Facebook and shared with with our friends, like Tea Party International, our account was frozen for 29-days.

Facebook is now in the business of protecting Antifa, a group that has caused riots across America using the false narrative that American patriots are Fascists. As we pointed out in our article Joseph Goebbels said, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”

Facebook is now censoring those who dare to expose those who accuse the other side of that of which they, themselves, are guilty.

Therefore, Facebook by censoring us is in essence “promoting violence” against Americans and their community standards censors prove it.

Sounds like Nazi Germany in 1933, doesn’t it?

Semi-Fascist Community Standards

In a September 15th, 2022 column titled Facebook’s ‘Semi-Fascist’ Community Standards we reported,

We have noticed that since Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was sworn into office on January 20th, 2021 our Facebook account has been charged with multiple, continuing restrictions for violating “community standards.”

Our account was first shut down for 24-hours (e.g. no posting, sharing, commenting, liking) on March 13th, 2021 for violating Facebook’s “community standards.”

The most recent violation of “community standards” restriction was place on our account on August 21st, 2022 for a period of thirty-nine days for posting about Covid, vaccines, MAGA and other related links.

Here is a screen shot of Facebook Restrictions placed on our account beginning on August 21st, 2022.

https://twitter.com/drrichswier/status/1570159117074944001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1570159117074944001%7Ctwgr%5E41b2a91d6ab02a3c379a87277941313df7b56946%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrrichswier.com%2F2022%2F09%2F15%2Ffacebooks-semi-fascist-community-standards%2F

Is it just a coincidence that Biden entered the White House on January 20th, 2021 and less than two months later our restrictions began?

In June of 2021 Facebook issued it’s mission statement which is to,

Bring the world closer together…give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.

When one reads this mission statement one thinks of Facebook giving power to the people. Right? It doesn’t say give power to an employee of Facebook or say give power to any government entity. Right?

QUESTION: How does restricting any individual’s power to build a community bring the world closer together?

ANSWER: It doesn’t!

QUESTION: What is standing in the way of the power of each individual to build his/her community?

ANSWER: Facebook’s Community Standards!

Facebook’s Semi-Fascist Community Standards

We analyzed this sudden change in Facebook’s “community standards” policy that began, for us, in March of 2021.

On August 26th, 2022 in a BBC News‘ titled Zuckerberg tells Rogan FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship David Molloy reported,

Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook restricting a story about Joe Biden’s son during the 2020 election was based on FBI misinformation warnings.

The New York Post alleged leaked emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed the then vice-president was helping his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.

Facebook and Twitter restricted sharing of the article, before reversing course amid allegations of censorship.

Zuckerberg said that getting the decision wrong “sucks”.

“When we take down something that we’re not supposed to, that’s the worst,” Zuckerberg said in a rare extended media interview on the Joe Rogan podcast.

The New York Post story was released just weeks before the presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which Mr Biden won.

It claimed that a laptop, abandoned in a repair shop by Hunter Biden, contained emails which included details of Hunter introducing a Ukrainian energy tycoon to his father and arranging a meeting. There is no record on Mr Biden’s schedule that such a meeting ever took place.

Critically, it fed into long-running unproven allegations about corruption on Joe Biden’s part to ensure his son’s business success in Ukraine.

In that context, the New York Post story, based on exclusive data no other news agency had access to, was met with scepticism[sic] – and censored by social media outlets.

Zuckerberg told Rogan: “The background here is that the FBI came to us – some folks on our team – and was like ‘hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that’.

He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular – only that Facebook thought it “fit that pattern”. [Emphasis added]

On September 14, 2022 in a Federalist article titled The FBI Paid For Russian Disinformation To Frame Trump—And 7 Other Takeaways From Durham’s Latest Court Filing Margot Cleveland reported,

Our federal government paid for Russian disinformation to frame the president of the United States for colluding with Russia.

The FBI put a contributor to the Hillary Clinton campaign’s Donald Trump smear dossier on FBI payroll as a confidential human source after investigating Igor Danchenko for allegedly spying for the Russian government, revealed Special Counsel John Durham in a court filing unsealed by a Virginia federal court yesterday. The filing contains this bombshell and seven other significant details about the Democrat-led plot to use U.S. intelligence agencies to deny Americans the results of their choice for president in 2016.

The FBI made Danchenko a confidential human source, providing him and the FBI’s use of him “national security” cover, in March 2017 and terminated that designation in October 2020, according to the court filing unsealed on Sept. 13. Danchenko is the originator of the false claim trumpeted all over global media that Donald Trump told prostitutes to pee on beds the Obamas had slept in in a Russian hotel.

The FBI had previously targeted Danchenko, Christopher Steele’s primary source, as a possible Russian agent. But after discovering Danchenko’s identity as Steele’s Sub-Source No. 1, rather than investigate whether Danchenko had been feeding Steele Russian disinformation, the FBI paid Danchenko as a CHS.

Trial for Lying to the FBI to Take Down a President

Danchenko faces trial next month on five counts of lying to the FBI related to his role as Steele’s primary sub-source. One count of the indictment concerned Danchenko’s denial during an FBI interview on June 15, 2017, of having spoken with “PR Executive-1” about any material contained in the Steele dossier. “PR Executive-1” has since been identified as the Clinton and Democratic National Committee-connected Charles Dolan, Jr. Also according to the special counsel’s office, Danchenko fed Steele at least two false claims about Trump that originated in part from Dolan.

The Bottom Line

Here are the key points,

  1. The FBI before the 2020 presidential election tells Facebook that Hunter Biden’s laptop is misinformation. Facebook then de-platforms those, like us who said the laptop was real, because we violated FB’s community standards.
  2. Then the FBI creates a dossier that is leaked and sent to various agencies and Congress to do a witch hunt against a sitting president of the United States.
  3. Then Facebook goes along with this hoax and even de-platforms people like us who point out it is a hoax. Those who point out that this is a hoax are then de-platformed for violating FB’s community standards.
  4. Then the Biden administration, Dr. Fauci, the CDC and U.S. Department of Health begin a massive shut down of the American economy using Covid as the reason. Then Facebook begins to flag any posts on its platform that questions this national shutdown.
  5. Then the Biden administration mandates government workers, our military and every American citizen get jabbed or lose their job. Facebook goes along with this program and flags any comments that question this policy.
  6. The more and more cases of the mild to serious short and long term effects and even deaths of those taking the Covid vaccines are reported by people like us on their platform. Then FB’s community standards kick in again and people like us are de-platformed.
  7. Facebook spied on messages of Conservatives questioning 2020 election results and then sent the  messages to the FBI
  8. Then the January 6th Democrat hearings begin and not surprisingly those who call this demonstration mostly peaceful are blocked for violating FB’s community standards.
  9. Then Biden begins implementing his stop climate change at all costs, to the American taxpayer, agenda and FB’s community standards kick in to shut down those who do not believe that government or spending more of their tax dollars has any influence on the weather, let alone the global climate.

We could go on but we think you get the point. Facebook’s community standards are semi-fascist in that they protect this Democrat controlled White House and U.S. Congress at all costs.

Why? Because Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg helped steal the 2020 election by illegally funding ballot drop boxes in key states as dis covered by True the Vote and made public in their file 2000 mules.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is in fact a conspiracy to keep conservatives taking back the reigns of power in 2022 and 2024.

Facebook is part of this conspiracy and we’re calling them out.

When our time in Facebook jail ends for violating their community standards ends we will post this article on their platform. Then FB’s semi-fascist community stands will discover us and we will be back the the Facebook gulag.

Disney Park Charges Unvaccinated Guests More, Offers Discount to Vaccinated Guests

What next? Yellow stars? Disney has taken taken a spiked wrecking ball to close to a century of good will and heartfelt love from the American people.

Disney Park Charges Unvaccinated Guests More, Offers Discount to Vaccinated Guests to Boost Vaccinations

By Jim Hoft, October 17, 2022:

As part of an effort to increase vaccination rates in the Land of the Rising Sun, Tokyo Disney Park is providing a special discount on theme park admission to guests who have received their COVID vaccinations.

The woke company now offers a “discount” for guests, both international and domestic, who can prove they are “fully boosted and vaccinated.”

Disney Fanatics reported:

It has been two years, but it appears that there is still a push by some to continue to push pandemic-era restrictions and policies and make life more difficult for those who choose not to comply.

One such example of this authoritarian endurance can be found at Tokyo Disney Resort.

According to its website, a new “discount” has been issued that is only available to “fully-vaccinated” Guests (both domestic and international) in order to boost of vaccinations in the Land of the Rising Sun. Called the “Event Wakuwari Discount” program, a special 20% discount will be available on 1-day ticked.

Vaccinated Guests can save 20% on one-day Passports valid from October 13, 2022, to January 31, 2023. Prices are as follows:

Adult: 6,320 yen / 6,720 yen / 7,120 yen / 7,520 yen
Junior: 5,280 yen / 5,600 yen / 5,920 yen / 6,240 yen
Child: 3,760 yen / 4,000 yen / 4,240 yen / 4,480 yen

Vaccinated Guests with disabilities and one accompanying person can purchase one-day Passports at the following rate:

Adult: 5,200 yen / 5,440 yen / 5,680 yen / 5,920 yen
Junior: 4,240 yen / 4,480 yen / 4,720 yen / 4,960 yen
Child: 3,040 yen / 3,200 yen / 3,360 yen / 3,520 yen

In order to access the special discount, Guests must provide the following:

    • Vaccination record (3rd vaccination completed)
    • PCR test negative certificate (using samples collected within 3 days before admission)
    • Antigen quantitative test negative certificate (collected within 3 days before admission) using the specimen)
    • Antigen qualitative test negative certificate (using a specimen collected within 1 day before admission)

Guests will be able to purchase the tickets online, but Cast Members will be checking credentials before Guests can claim the Passports to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Guests under 12 will not need to show proof of vaccination so long as they are accompanied by a “fully vaccinated” adult.

At Least 269 K-12 Educators Arrested on Child Sex Crimes in First 9 months of 2022

Who is hiring these pedophiles. Pull your children out of government schools. Democrats hate you. What more effective way of destroying and our wonderful country then by abusing your children and shredding the family?

At least 269 K-12 educators arrested on child sex crimes in first 9 months of this year

74% of the arrests involved alleged crimes against students

By Jessica Chasmar | Fox News October 14, 2022:

Virginia counselor charged twice for sex crimes allowed to work for nearly two years

Fox News’ Mike Emmanuel reports on a Fairfax County, Virginia, twice-convicted sex offender who was allowed to work for nearly two years before being fired.

Nearly 270 public educators were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. in the first nine months of this year, ranging from grooming to raping underage students.

An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital found that from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, at least 269 educators were arrested, which works out to roughly one arrest a day.

The 269 educators included four principals, two assistant principals, 226 teachers, 20 teacher’s aides and 17 substitute teachers.

At least 199 of the arrests, or 74%, involved alleged crimes against students.

TRUSTEE OF TRANSGENDER KIDS’ CHARITY RESIGNS AFTER UNEARTHED SPEECH TO GROUP FOR ‘MINOR-ATTRACTED PERSONS’

The analysis looked at local news stories week by week featuring arrests of K-12 principals, assistant principals, teachers, substitute teachers and teachers’ aides on child sex-related crimes in school districts across the country. Arrests that weren’t publicized were not counted in the analysis, meaning the true number may well be higher.

Only 43 of the alleged crimes, or 16%, did not involve students. It is not known whether another 10% of the alleged crimes involved students.

Men also made up the vast majority, with over 80% of the arrests.

There are an estimated 3.2 million public school teachers in the country, meaning the arrests compiled by Fox News Digital make up only 0.0084%.

“The number of teachers arrested for child sex abuse is just the tip of the iceberg — much as it was for the Catholic Church prior to widespread exposure and investigation in the early 2000s,” Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The best available academic research, published by the Department of Education, suggests that nearly 10% of public school students suffer from physical abuse between kindergarten and twelfth grade.”

“According to that research, the scale of sexual abuse in the public schools is nearly 100 times greater than that of the Catholic Church,” he said. “The question for critics who seek to downplay the extent of public-school sexual abuse is this: How many arrests need to happen before you consider it a problem? How many children need to be sexually abused by teachers before you consider it a crisis?”

Many of the arrests in Fox News Digital’s latest analysis involved especially heinous allegations.
Eugene Pratt, a former principal, elementary school teacher and coach who taught at-risk youth in multiple Michigan public schools, is accused of sexually assaulting at least 15 boys and young adult men over the course of several decades.

Eugene Pratt, 57, a former principal, elementary school teacher and coach who taught at-risk youth in multiple Michigan public schools, was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct in August. He is accused of sexually assaulting at least 15 boys and young adult men during his education career spanning several decades.

Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson, whose office is investigating Pratt, told ClickOnDetroit in August that sexual predators often put themselves in a supervisory position so that they have easy access to victims.

“When you see positions that he held that involve being a principal, school administrator, counselor, GED coordinator, and even after he taught, where he was arrested last week out of New Paths, as a driver, as a transport officer,” Swanson said. “Individuals like Eugene Pratt put themselves in positions of authority over others in order to act on their prey and to find and identify vulnerable people.”

Impeach Biden for Saudi Election Quid Pro Quo

Bribing a foreign power to rig oil prices to keep control of Congress.


“There’s going to be some consequences for what they’ve done,” Biden threatened Saudi Arabia on CNN.

The widely unpopular president wasn’t upset at the Kingdom over what it had done to America, but to his party’s prospects for retaining control of Congress.

In response, the Saudis revealed that the Biden administration had actually asked them to postpone the production cut for a month. Why a month? A month wouldn’t have changed anything meaningfully for Americans, but would have gotten the midterms out of the way.

As the Wall Street Journal noted, “The one-month delay requested by Washington would have meant a production cut made in the days before the election, too late to have much effect on consumers’ wallets ahead of the vote.”

Perfect timing. Too perfect to be a coincidence.

Adrienne Watson, Biden’s NSC assistant, denied Biden had been asking for an election boost. “It’s categorically false to connect this to U.S. elections,” the former Hillary Clinton spokeswoman insisted. “It’s about the impact of this shortsighted decision to the global economy.”

But the story became even more damning when it was revealed that the Biden administration had tried to bribe the Saudis to delay the production cut until the midterms by promising to “buy oil on the market to replenish Washington’s strategic stockpiles if the price of Brent, the main international benchmark, fell to $75 a barrel”.

Biden was bribing the Saudis with a potential fortune in taxpayer money as a hedge against a decline in the price of oil. The strategic reserves had already been badly depleted by Biden in an effort to lower oil prices. This was not done to help consumers, but to politically prop up Biden’s own prospects for a second term. Biden plans to end the strategic releases from the reserve at the end of October. This is obviously aimed at influencing the midterm elections.

With the release of 180 million barrels of oil, Biden was trying to buy the midterms in a way that was corrupt, but technically legal. With crude currently priced in the high 80s, refilling the reserve would be quite expensive and Biden officials had told the finance media they would not be refilling the reserve anytime soon. But they were telling the Saudis something very different.

Biden’s already legendary corruption has worsened dramatically when given full access to the White House, but trying to bribe a foreign power to rig oil prices to keep control of Congress is outrageous even in the litany of White House scandals.

The quid pro quo here is potentially massive.

Biden’s NSC spokesman, John Kirby, warned that his boss would “take a look to see if that relationship is where it needs to be and that it is serving our national security interests.”

It’s not the national security interests at issue here, but Biden’s own political interests.

The Biden administration has already begun pulling out of regional security sessions in revenge for the Saudi refusal to prop up energy prices to help the Democrats retain control of Congress.

The carrot and the stick here involve foreign policy and billions in spending for a quid pro quo.

The Biden administration was using oil purchases and security cooperation as leverage to secure a foreign government’s help in the midterm elections. Senate Democrats are rushing to make the quid pro quo even more explicit by threatening to pull out anti-Iran defenses.

Rep. Tom Malinowski, Rep. Sean Casten and Rep. Susan Wild, all of whom are running for reelection, introduced a bill calling for the removal of missile defense systems and troops from Saudi Arabia, to punish it for the pre-midterm production cut.

“Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s drastic cut in oil production, despite President Biden’s overtures to both countries in recent months, is a hostile act,” the press release by the candidates stated.

As Biden said, “There’s going to be some consequences”.

Rep. Malinowski is running a tight race in a time when, as the New York Times described, “gas prices were soaring”. Susan Wild is running in another “bellwether” seat. It’s unlikely to be a coincidence that House Democrats who would have benefited the most from Biden’s Saudi quid pro quo are also the ones trying to punish the Saudis, not for Americans, but for themselves.

Rep. Malinowski voted to impeach Trump because, in his words, “by pressuring a foreign country”, he “used the powers of his office not for America but for himself”, “signaled that America’s foreign policy can be bought by anyone willing to interfere in our politics on his behalf” and “endangered our national security, and violated his oath of office.” All of these things are true of Biden and of his political accomplices inside and outside the administration.

Biden was caught trying to pressure a foreign country for his own political benefit. Had he just asked the Saudis to suspend the price cut without a specific timetable, he might have gotten away with it, but by timing it for a month, enough to clear the midterms, he indicted himself.

The Saudis revealed what Biden was up to and administration flunkies like Watson have denied the motive, but not the act. The next step is for Congress to investigate the quid pro quo.

Considering how many members of the current Congress were heavily invested in preventing a production cut before the midterms, it is unrealistic to presume that a corrupt and self-interested body can credibly investigate itself. Only after the midterms have cleaned house a little bit will it be possible to turn over some rocks and discover who knew what and what the exact deal was.

Biden’s strategic oil reserve releases timed to the midterms were bad enough. There was a time when such nakedly calculated abuses of government assets and taxpayer money might have even been impeachable, but we live in times when politicians routinely engage in such plunder.

Trying to bribe a foreign government to interfere in our election is a whole other matter.

The Democrats were the ones who set the precedent with the first Trump impeachment. And that should be Biden’s first impeachment too. Whether it will be his last is up to Congress.

LOL: Buttigieg Says Biden’s Had ‘So Many Accomplishments’ It’s Hard to Talk About All of Them

Sunday on ABC’s This Week, Transportation Secretary diversity hire Pete Buttigieg claimed comically that President Biden had so many accomplishments it was hard to talk about them all.

To the host’s suggestion that President Biden should be speaking more about his accomplishments from last year, the hopelessly incompetent Buttigieg said, “Well, we are proud of those accomplishments. You know, the things that those accomplishments have done, first of all, contributing to historic job creation under this president, 10 million plus jobs, that’s never happened in this time period in a presidency before in American history. Remember, we have our challenges right now, but when the president took office, we were facing an economy that was at risk of going into free fall. The American Rescue Plan stopped that, and it went directly into easing the burden for Americans with those tax benefits that Americans got, and it went into projects that are improving communities all around the United States. Back in my hometown saw infrastructure projects that they’re doing there with some of that money.”

He added, “I think we run the risk because there have been so many accomplishments, right, the Chips Act and Pact Act and the infrastructure bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, on top of that American Rescue Plan, you know, in some ways having achieved so much legislatively makes it hard to talk about all at once because there are so many accomplishments.”

Anyone who isn’t a hardcore ideologue like Buttigieg can look at America and recognize that the Biden administration has wrought more havoc on this country than any past President, including the radical anti-American Barack Obama. The Biden administration doesn’t have accomplishments, only debacles.

Buttigieg Launches $1 Billion Pilot Plan for “Racial Equity” in Roads

On June 30, 2022, Buttigieg, who had previously declared that “there is racism physically built into some of our highways,” initiated a $1 billion pilot plan — the so-called Reconnecting Communities program — to address what he saw as racial segregation created by roads in cities and neighborhoods across the United States. “Transportation can connect us to jobs, services and loved ones, but we‘ve also seen countless cases around the country where a piece of infrastructure cuts off a neighborhood or a community because of how it was built,” said Buttigieg when announcing the program in Birmingham, Alabama. “This is a forward-looking vision,” he explained. “Our focus isn’t about assigning blame. It isn’t about getting caught up in guilt. It’s about fixing a problem. It’s about mending what has been broken, especially when the damage was done with taxpayer dollars.”

Candace Owens puts her finger on Black Lives Matter’s rampant corruption

CANDACE OWENS: THE GREATEST LIE EVER SOLD | GEORGE FLOYD AND THE RISE OF BLM

FULL DOCUMENTARY 2022

As evidenced by the wild success of Netflix’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, American culture is obsessed with criminals, and all too frequently such individuals enjoy cult-like status.

Charles Manson infamously received love letters while in prison, and copycat crimes are a common occurrence. But in our woke age, the worship of criminals has changed. Such cults are no longer nihilistic (as in the case of Manson).

Instead, the criminal is somehow turned into a saint who stands for some vague social justice ideal. Those individuals have no merits of their own, other than having encountered a tragic end. They are lionized solely on the basis of having been the victim of some injustice, no matter how unjust they may have been towards others.

George Floyd is perhaps the most emblematic case in our times. Candace Owens’ The Greatest Lie Ever Sold seeks to remove the mystic aura that surrounds this dubious character.

Owens has long played the cultural contrarian, so she is well-prepared to mount a frontal iconoclastic attack against this woke idol. She has a history of saying some things perceived as outrageous by liberal media, but by and large, she keeps her composure in the film.

Here and there, sometimes Owens unnecessarily goes overboard (e.g., some jokes about Floyd’s children not being truly his). But the film is effective in showing that Floyd was a person who harmed many people and deserves no praise.

Likewise, Owens puts a human face to Derek Chauvin, the police officer who killed Floyd. Owens makes it sufficiently clear that she is not celebrating Floyd’s death. She is merely saying that neither Floyd nor Chauvin are the saint and the monster that, respectively, the media tries to represent.

This is an entirely reasonable stance.

Yet, the media bullies those who state the obvious and Black Lives Matter has seized the moment to make a buck. This is ironic, considering this organization’s ideology. Black Lives Matter’s founder Patrisse Cullors has claimed that they “are trained Marxists.” Marxism’s approach to religion is well-known: as per this philosophy, religion is a scam (“the opium of the people”) that is used to exploit people and extract from them the wealth they produce.

This view has long been criticized, but in the case of the George Floyd cult, it hits the nail on its head. For, Black Lives Matter is noting but a cult-like racket.

The Greatest Lie Ever Sold shows the extent of Black Lives Matter’s corruption in the handling of donations. Cullors now lives in a mansion located in a predominantly white neighborhood, and she has hired her own brother for security (a man with no experience in that industry), with a salary of more than US$800,000.

Owens relies on some fine investigative work to present these details, and that alone makes the film worth watching.

Nevertheless, it is a flawed product. Owens insists that George Floyd’s death was not caused by Derek Chauvin’s actions; in her words, “it is the story of a man who overdosed.” This version of the events has been refuted by many toxicologists, some of whom testified in the trial of the other officers who were involved in Floyd’s death.

Owens could have focused on the obvious point she makes in the film — Black Lives Matter’s corruption and the media’s complicity — but true to her style, she could not resist the temptation to troll. This is unfortunate, because the larger issue at stake is not the exact cause of Floyd’s death, but rather, whether or not racism and police brutality are a problem in the United States.

Owens misses a golden opportunity to address this topic.

The evidence is not conclusive, but it seems that the United States does face a problem of police brutality. However, there is no indication that this is a racial issue. Harvard’s Roland Fryer famously published a study in which it is demonstrated that there are few racial disparities in the use of police force.

Of course, that does not fit the media narrative. If a white man dies with a cop’s knee on his neck — as in the case of Tony Timpa— the media will look the other way. They are only interested in stories that can be sensationalized with racial overtones, and they found in George Floyd the perfect match.

Although sloppy at times, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold is a welcome contribution to push back against the narrative and cynical ploy of Black Lives Matter and woke ideology.

What kind of doctor amputates the breasts of a 12-year-old girl?

Statistics published in JAMA Pediatrics are horrifying


The deeper you dig in the dark warrens of adolescent transgender medicine, the more convinced you become that the doctors who operate on young girls are criminal or insane or both.

I know that sounds extreme. But how can a decent person read the bare statistics in a recent article in one of the world’s leading paediatrics journals without feeling rage?

A brief report from four doctors at Vanderbilt University, “Gender-Affirming Chest Reconstruction Among Transgender and Gender-Diverse Adolescents in the US From 2016 to 2019” appeared in JAMA Pediatrics earlier this week. It is “the largest investigation to date of gender-affirming chest reconstruction in a pediatric population” to date.

The researchers found that the incidence of “gender-affirming chest reconstruction” surgery for children under 18 – better known as double mastectomies or “top jobs” — increased by 389 percent between 2016 and 2019. (These “chest reconstructions” included some boys who presumably wanted breast implants – but these were only 1.4 percent.)

An estimated 1,130 “top jobs” were performed during those four years on girls as young as 12. What kind of doctor amputates the healthy breasts of a 12-year-old girl?

According to the data, based on the Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample, the Vanderbilt doctors calculated that 5.5 percent of the children were under 14, 21.5 percent under 15, and 56 percent under 16.

It gets worse.

Through the distorted lens of the billion-dollar sex-reassignment surgery industry, “top jobs” might make sense as the last step in a gender-affirmation journey. After a gender-dysphoric girl has experimented with living in a male body for months or years, she wants her chest to look masculine. She proceeds through the following steps:

  • I know I’m a boy in a girl’s body.
  • I need social affirmation.
  • I need puberty blockers.
  • I need cross-sex hormones.
  • I need a double mastectomy.

But according to the figures compiled by the Vanderbilt doctors, only 19.9 percent of these girls had hormone therapy before surgery. That means that the overwhelming majority of these young girls – 80.1 percent – had their breasts amputated without attempting to masculinise their bodies.

One of the leading American hospitals for transgender surgery, Boston Children’s Hospital, recommends that patients have hormone therapy first:

Surgery is never the first step in a gender transition. It is something that happens after you have already explored social and medical transition options. People who choose to undergo surgery usually do so after taking other steps in the gender affirmation process, such as taking supplemental hormones.

And the recently-released standards for transgender medicine specify that an adolescent should have had “at least 12 months of gender-affirming hormone therapy or longer, if required, to achieve the desired surgical result for gender-affirming procedures” (WPATH, section 6.12).

Amputation without hormone therapy makes no sense even in the Alice in Wonderland universe of transgender medicine. It is sheer mutilation. How will it solve girls’ gender dysphoria? It is worse than prescribing liposuction for a 12-year-old suffering from anorexia nervosa. Or amputating limbs or severing spinal cords for people suffering from Body Integrity Identity Disorder.

Furthermore, more than a third of the girls had been diagnosed with anxiety or depression. (The study fails to mention autism, which is often implicated in gender dysphoria.) What kind of surgeon amputates the breasts of a mentally-ill teenager?

The data in this study are already nearly three years old. How many more girls will be maimed for life before American doctors wake up to this grotesque violation of human rights?

Pay-to-Play in the China Swamp

Finally, people are catching on to how our corrupt elites are beholden to China, starting with the first family.

The Biden family received a $5 million interest-free, forgivable loan from a Chinese energy company five years ago, according to FBI evidence.  Senator Chuck Grassley called for a pay-to-play corruption investigation.  Joe Biden was out of the White House at the time, but a witness said the money was compensation – deliberately deferred – for work Hunter and James Biden did while Joe Biden, who benefitted from the deal, was vice president.  A whistleblower who was part of the deal confirmed Joe Biden was personally involved and said the Bidens eventually expected to make billions from the Chinese.  The $5 million was eventually sent to entities tied to Hunter and James Biden.  Lawyers for those two have declined to answer questions about the deal.  Senator Grassley, in calling for an investigation, said the evidence points to potential criminality.  Pay-to-play – an investigation would uncover exactly what the Chinese received in exchange for the $5 million forgivable loan.  Enquiring minds want to know.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to appoint China sympathizers to the State Department.  His latest appointment once told Americans to “embrace China” and worked with Chinese front groups to advance Chinese interests in Washington.  Get this – this person is being appointed to a position supposedly created to counter China’s growing influence.  Yeah, like that’s going to happen.  Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse.  This fox joins the other China-sympathizing foxes Biden has appointed to State Department positions.

Currying influence in Washington has paid off for China.  U.S. government agencies gave $29 million in joint research grants to Chinese entities in a recent six-year period.  The grants came from the CDC, NIH, and Pentagon and went for research into vaccines, drones, and drugs.  Sounds pretty benign until you realize the communist Chinese do not distinguish between civilian and military research.  All research is military research in China.  Talk about giving them the rope to hang us with.  We wouldn’t know about this if Republicans hadn’t asked GAO for the information.  GAO said in its report there are ways around reporting requirements, so the true extent of U.S. taxpayer money going to China for research is unknown.

But money doesn’t have to go to China for China to get its hands on U.S. research.  A new Pentagon study shows China seeks out U.S. companies that get federal research funding and recruits them to perform work for Chinese entities tied to the Chinese military.  The U.S. companies betray their own country by selling out to the Chinese, at which point their research is transferred to Chinese subsidiaries.  The kinds of research ending up in China this way involve drugs, drones, spacecraft, bio-sensors, solar energy, and a catch-all category ‘military devices’.   The Pentagon study concluded China benefits more from our research than we do.   People say China can’t innovate, but this is pretty darn clever.  Legislation is needed to disqualify U.S. firms that have ties to China and pose this kind of national security risk.

One final note: the CEOs of Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Citigroup told Congress last month they would follow U.S. government guidance to refrain from doing business in China if China were to invade Taiwan.  But given the forgivable loans, expectations to make billions, and ‘10 percent for the Big Guy’, can you really see Joe Biden giving the CEOs the order to pull out of China?  I can’t.   That’s just one possible consequence of allowing China to capture our elites.  There are others.

Biden Administration’s Attempt to Loosen Document Verification Would Clear the Path for Fraud and Unlawful Employment

Washington, D.C. — Today the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) submitted a public comment in response to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that seeks to significantly alter the physical document examination requirements associated with employment eligibility verification (Form I-9).

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) instituted temporary flexibilities and waived the physical examination of employment and identification documentation for employers facing a sudden and near-total shift to a remote workforce. The Biden administration now seeks the authority, on a discretionary basis, to cement those flexibilities when certain conditions are met.

“Any action taken under the authority provided by this rule, if finalized, will be viewed as an attempt to ease the requirements of employment verification. While a welcome change for employers contending with large-scale remote workforces, it will be abused by bad actors who will hide behind a far easier good faith compliance defense,” wrote Dan Stein, president of FAIR. “With the unprecedented numbers of illegal alien apprehensions and encounters along the southern border and the ever-growing crisis that we are presently witnessing, the demand for work is high, and any attempt to diminish verification will be routinely used by smugglers, traffickers, and unscrupulous employers. Any authority used to weaken document verification requirements will erode the intend of the underlying statute aimed at ensuring that only lawful aliens are eligible to work in the United States.”

Stein also noted that the proposed rule is arbitrary and overly broad. “It fails to justify any policy determination or provide a reasoned analysis at all. Accordingly, this regulatory amendment appears to be a solution in search of a problem.  It is patently unclear why DHS believes that this change is necessary and, assuming arguendo that such authority is necessary, why it must be so broad,” said Stein.

FAIR strongly opposes this proposed rule and urges the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to withdraw it. Instead, DHS should promulgate regulations aimed at enhancing security and anti-fraud measures associated with the employment verification process and continually ensuring that, pursuant to statute, only lawful aliens are able to work in the United States,” concluded Stein in the comment.

FAIR’s full comment can be accessed here.

The Putin Biden KGB Border Plot

“A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both.” — James Madison


Yes, I agree, it is perhaps both and we have it in Biden’s America. That is the reason to continue the discussion on the ideology I am maintaining for over thirty years. Hunter Biden’s lab-story has been dismissed as Russian disinformation and fifty-one CIA experts confirmed it. In fact, there was more than Hunter’s lab-story, it was a Joe Biden story and the KGB/Border Plot will expose it. Familiar to you, Mexican Cartels is a false term, those are the Russian Cartels in Mexico. People who know the history of Stalinism are aware of that. After being defeated in the Spanish Civil War, Stalin brought several thousand Spanish orphans to Russia. These boys and girls had been placed in a special dormitory and trained by the KGB. Later, in 1950-1960th the young men and women had been sent to Central America and Mexico. Though all Cartels have the Latin names, Putin’s KGB is running all of them. There are only Drug Cartels bringing annually $30 Billion earned by Russia on the American Southern border.

The letter signed by fifty-one experts presented a very troublesome event. Their signatures illustrate their incompetence, uselessness, and even stupidity. The question is who organized the event and signing of the letter by those incompetent experts. In this respect, I have to remind you that the FBI and CIA are failed to protect us and the American interests due to their incompetence pertaining Russia and its KGB’s Mafia/Army. None of the four FBI Directors was able to identify the Trump/Dossier produced by the KGB. You can answer the question, knowing that it took me a couple of seconds in 2017 to recognize the Trump/Dossier as a KGB’s Falshivka, a usual KGB’s FRAUD. But my writings have been banned by the FBI to prevent you from knowing the truth since 2002. It could be Mueller himself who submitted my name to the FISA Court to cover-up the Dems’ crime.

There are other evidence of old KGB’s profession—human trafficking. Those who know the history of the KGB should remember the events under the Warsaw Pact in the Eastern Europe. Blond young women from Poland and Czechoslovakia had been sold by the KGB to the Muslim countries. Human smuggling started by the KGB in the 20th century and continues by Vladimir Putin in the 21st century. Human smuggling organizations run by the KGB are alive and well today. Whether you know it or don’t know, the fact remains: Russia was and is a Terrorist State destabilizing people’s life globally.

Did you know that Russia has been systematically sabotaging America through drugs since the 1955 Soviet Law of the Revolutionary War? A hundred thousand Americans killed by drugs in 2021. Biden’s open borders policy works in unison with the KGB’s terrorist activities across the globe, promoting drugs and illegal migration to America. The scale of the KGB’s activities is unprecedented—180 countries. Pay attention to the strategy of targeting children without the parents in those countries. Why was the government transporting children by night in America? Who needs the secrecy? Does it remind you Stalinist motivation and projection to use those children later on? Do you recognize Stalinist ideology?

The similarities are even more threatening. Stalinist agenda to destroy American Capitalism has been a model for Biden’s presidency since the first day in the White House by closing a Key Stone pipeline and waging war on fossil fuel. In fact, Biden’s policy has initiated a global crisis: the natural resources fossil fuel, gas, and coal are the driving force of the global economic engine and there is nothing else now to substitute it. The Putin/Biden plot had established a Globalist World Order against a free market capitalism. This is the beginning of WWIII, deliberately choreographed by the Dems to save their traitorous existence.

Now, when your eyes are more open, don’t be surprised by the number of countries infiltrated by the KGB: the agency has been operating during the 20th century and beyond. It spread from North to South, from a girl-Greta in Sweden, an emotional and nervous agitator for “climate change” to “prevent people’s extinction” to the South-Africa Communist government where the KGB is in control and power. Although John Durham’s hands were tied, he is on the right path. Unfortunately, his investigation will not be completed. But the major focus now emphasizes the FBI as a main bad actor. John Durham is right. I was warning you about the FBI and CIA for the last thirty years…

Fascism Never Sleeps

As a former Soviet attorney, I know the Soviet System pretty well and write about it in my books and columns over thirty years. The resemblance to fascism I saw living through Stalinism and learning it in reality. People surrounding me called the Soviet System—Stalinism. The special features of Stalinism and Fascism had been identical: the weaponization of Law Enforcement and establishment of a variety of punitive agencies to control and power over the population. This is the reason that the major topic of my writings is the KGB’s Mafia/Army, which represents all of them.

I choose the term KGB to represent all those punitive agencies, because these three letters have been pretty well familiar to America and the world. The more I write, the more I am convinced that this discussion is a necessity in America and the world today. Some people in America have heard Stalin’s name, but only some. The discussion on whether we are dealing with Soviet Socialism or Soviet fascism is vital today under Biden’s Presidency. Biden called me “Semi-Fascist,” but when I am experiencing something very familiar to me, I recognize it. By the way, the Soviet people called the KGB—the Soviet Gestapo. In this respect, I have to remind you of W. Churchill’s idea: “The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.” Pay attention to Antifa and BLM—they have the same parents.

I was following Biden’s Clan-family for decades. For me, Biden’s personal and open participation in the Clan began in 2013-2014, when Obama appointed him as a point man for Ukraine. You saw it, when Biden publicly pronounced quid-pro-quod, threatening Ukraine with $Billion if a prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden hasn’t fired. It was the time, when Putin/Biden were together suffocating the young Ukrainian democracy. Nothing has changed since and The Putin/Biden KGB/Border Plot proves that. James Madison was right: “It is a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both.”

There is another “Red Flag” for the Biden presidency—the Iranian Deal. I was writing about and introducing you to the term “Axis of Evil” for decades. It was created under the Russian umbrella to wage the war against Western civilization in the 20th century. You are watching the continuation of this war by Putin and Chairman Xi Jinpin, both united by the ideology and agenda left to them by Comrade Stalin: One World Socialist Government under the Kremlin Rule.  Look at the “Axis of Evil” countries: North Korea, China, Belarus, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, they are all terrorists’ countries. Biden’s Iranian Deal is his attempt to join the group, instead of fighting their Socialist agenda “under the Russian umbrella.” Isn’t This Treason?

The Biden alternative universe has been built by Socialist modus operandi: lies, deception, fabrication and fraud… Stalinist Soviet Union had been built the same exact way in the 20th century. I was stunned, watching Dan Bongino interview with the FBI whistleblower Steve Friend. He described events in the FBI that gravely affected his family. Steve Friend told the story of hundreds of my clients, who came to my law office and like him said that they didn’t want to comply with the regime of Stalinist Socialism… In all my books and columns I was introducing you to Socialist modus operandi to warn you: The Democrat Party behaves the same exact metastasized way—it shapes Soviet Socialism with the help of the FBI in America. Read my column: A Global Spy Ring.

Watch Biden’s deceptive-maneuvering on Ukraine, he learned a lot from the KGB policy of “disinformation.” He is the KGB’s puppet with dementia. As Putin started war on Ukraine February 24, 2022, the White House reaction was unambiguous: the war will last three days and Ukraine will be defeated. Then Biden offered President Zelenskyy to send a plane and bring him and his family to America. That infuriated me. By continuing my public discussion of the ideology, I wrote a column defending Ukraine and expressing my disagreement with the White House: The Global Threat of Anti-Semitism: Fascism, February 28, 2022. The next day, March 1, 2022 was Biden’s State of the Union Address at 9 p.m. EST. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears, the attitude to the Russian war on Ukraine had been changed to 180 degree. It took me sometimes to find the rationale, but I did.

History is the Mother of all sciences and my column on February 28, 22 presented a misfortunate fate of Ukraine under Soviet Socialism. It also reveals Putin’s desire to build again the Russian Empire in Europe. As a matter of fact, without Ukraine there can’t be a Russian Empire. Ukraine is a European country and the Putin aggressive war where Russia is killing everything alive is the dictator’s desire to build the Russian Empire. The White House has been reading my columns since 2002. Reading the last one gave Biden’s team the idea of saving the Democrat Party and preventing its extinction for the crime they had been committing for decades. That was the rationale for using Ukraine…

But hold your horses! The Republicans still don’t perceive the global scale of the issue. The sabotage against the American Constitutional Republic began many decades ago. I had evidence about Bill Clinton and since him the Democrat Party was engaged in malfeasances against the American political system. In 2016 Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Vladimir Putin cooked up a plan to destroy Donald J. Trump and the KGB’s production of Trump/Dossier had popped up. We are still in the labyrinth, puzzled to find the correct answers today in 2022, six years later. This is a result of our incompetence about Russia and its Intel Apparatus that destroying us from within. For America to survive that knowledge is imperative today.

American existence is at stake: Warning by a Former Soviet Attorney.

Joe Biden signed a dozen executive orders in his first hours as president. Do you know who produced those executive orders? It is obvious now that Biden himself couldn’t do it. Who did? Loving my adopted country with all my heart, I am telling you for over thirty years the story of What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction Part III. This is the story of the war against the American Constitutional Republic from within—the history of first unprecedented infiltration of the foreign agencies into the heart of America. Do you know what the KGB’s Mafia/Army means? Racial division, refusal to prosecute crime, corrupt conflicts of interest, compromising connections between the Dem leaders and Russian & Chinese Intel agencies is exposed. Violent crime is rising and public safety escapes America until we learn of the KGB’s Mafia/Army. We are dealing with the ideology of Soviet fascism that never sleeps, hence our national security is at stake. Please, read this book, to prevent the American Tragedy.

Thousands of Government Officials Own and Trade Stock in Companies They Regulate

The U.S. government is rotten, rotten to its core. Martha Stewart went to jail for far less.

This is insider trading on steroids. Every single official should be indicted. This is very definition of corruption and depraved abuse of the public trust.

Thousands of federal officials own stock in regulated companies: WSJ

Pentagon officials owned stock in aerospace, defense companies, report says

By Federal Times staff, Oct 11, 2022

WASHINGTON — Thousands of federal government officials across the executive branch reported owning or trading stocks that stood to rise or fall with decisions made by their agencies, a Wall Street Journal investigation found.

More than 2,600 officials at agencies from the Commerce Department to the Treasury Department, during both Republican and Democratic administrations, disclosed stock investments in companies that were lobbying their agencies for favorable policies. That amounts to more than one in five senior federal employees across 50 federal agencies reviewed by the Journal, is said in an article published Oct. 11.

An official at the Environmental Protection Agency reported purchases of oil and gas stocks. The Food and Drug Administration improperly let an official own dozens of food and drug stocks on its “no-buy” list. A Defense Department official bought stock in a company before it won new business from the Pentagon, according to the report.

Title 18, section 208 of the U.S. Code, a criminal statute, prohibits employees in the executive branch from participating in a government matter that will have a direct and predictable effect on their financial interests, Federal Times has reported.

Such conflict-of-interests can include insider trading, a hot-button issue that the U.S. House of Representatives has grappled with in seeking to reform the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act.

The STOCK Act, by some experts’ estimation, is the closest the government has come thus far in targeting stock trading by members of Congress. Then-President Barack Obama signed it into law in 2012, amending the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and making explicit that the prohibition against insider trading would apply to members.

The Journal said it analyzed more than 31,000 financial-disclosure forms for about 12,000 senior career employees, political staff and presidential appointees. The review spans 2016 through 2021 and includes data on about 850,000 financial assets and more than 315,000 trades in stocks, bonds and funds by the officials, their spouses or children.

While the Ethics in Government Act, passed on the heels of the Watergate scandal, mandated that senior employees of the executive branch submit public financial disclosures, the vast majority aren’t available online or readily accessible. The review amounts to the most comprehensive analysis of investments held by executive-branch officials, who have wide but largely unseen influence over public policy, the Journal said.

Among the findings:

— While the government was ramping up scrutiny of big technology companies, more than 1,800 federal officials reported owning or trading at least one of four major tech stocks: Meta Platforms’s Facebook, Alphabet’s Google, Apple and Amazon.com.

— Dozens of officials at agencies including the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department reported trading stock in companies shortly before their departments announced enforcement actions.

— More than 200 senior EPA officials, nearly one in three, reported investments in companies that were lobbying the agency.

— At the Defense Department, officials in the office of the secretary reported collectively owning between $1.2 million and $3.4 million of stock in aerospace and defense companies on average each year examined by the Journal. Some held stock in Chinese companies while the U.S. was considering blacklisting the companies.

Not every member of the executive branch is a public filer. Most that are hold high-level leadership positions. In addition to new entrant, annual, and termination reports, public filers must also report transactions of certain securities as they occur so that ethics officials can evaluate potential red flags.

American Parents Who Protest Schools are Terrorists. Muslim Parents are ‘Multifaceted’

You can’t treat Muslims like terrorists.


The wave of protests against sexual materials and agendas in schools spreading around the country appeared in Dearborn, Michigan. Islamists in America had long grappled with how to manage both their leftist alliances and the sexual agendas of those allies. Most opted for public expressions of support and private repression. The breach broke out in the open in Dearborn with videos of angry Arab Muslims, among others, speaking out at school board meetings.

They waved signs, booed speakers, and denounced the board members. The same sort of stuff that led Biden and Garland’s DOJ to illegally coordinate a school board association letter preparing to treat them like terrorists.

But they can’t treat Muslims like terrorists.

The sheer awkwardness was captured by the local NPR affiliate’s story on the protests.

.Community members within the Dearborn Public School District have been in heated debate over several LGBTQ-positive books and their availability to students. The debate in Dearborn came to a head at a school board meeting this week.

It’s not the first time a religious, conservative group has opposed the availability of books that include LGBTQ-positive stories and sentiments.

However, unlike we’ve seen before, many of those religious conservatives are Muslim. It’s the first time someone other than Evangelicals and far-right constituents have been a sizeable force in the protests at the school board.

Reporter Niraj Warikoo provided some context on this multifaceted issue. We also heard from someone who’s taken a stand in favor of age-appropriate, LGBTQ-positive books.

When American parents protest sexual materials being inflicted on their kids, it’s terrorism. But when Muslims protest, it’s “multifaceted”.

That’s especially true since the local CAIR appeared to be involved in guiding some parents behind the scenes while cautioning them away from public protests. Others however, with fewer woke alliances, took a more vocal stand.

One of Michigan’s most prominent faith leaders, Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, urged people during his Friday sermon to attend the protests.

“Some of those books are completely inappropriate for our children to read,” Al-Qazwini said. “Some of those books promote pornography. Some of them promote homosexuality. We don’t need this. Go and attend this meeting.”

Al-Qazwini and others said that they have the democratic right to decide what is appropriate in their schools since their faith is now in the majority. Dearborn is about 47% Arab American, most of them Muslim, and Dearborn Heights is about one-third Arab American, according to census data

What’s the Left going to do? Shut up and take it. At least in public. And explain how multifaceted it all is, and double down on pushing this stuff anyway. Publicly, dissent is impossible. And impracticable. The Left hopes to run the same routine that it did with the black community, but it doesn’t understand the territory. Or the players.

They’re the majority and they mean it.

When similar incidents happened in the UK, there was some handwringing and inspectors were sent to investigate Jewish and Christian schools. Expect the media and activist lefties to loudly shift attention back to safer targets. And then call them terrorists.

Massive Florida Medical Center Boasted Of Helping Child Get ‘Gender-Affirming’ Surgery, Hormones

  • UF Health’s Youth Gender Program offers medical treatments to minors to help them present as the opposite sex; the program boasted about helping a minor undergo hormones and feminizing facial surgery and obtain a referral for “gender affirmation surgery,” according to the institution’s website.
  • UF Health did not respond to dozens of requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation and ignored many requests for their age guidelines.
  • “Your parents may not understand and may fight your transition, but this is the way you were born,” one patient said in a UF Health testimonial prominently featured on their website. “Your authentic life is worth fighting for.”

UF Health, a medical network affiliated with the University of Florida located in Gainesville and Jacksonville, boasted about helping a child with gender dysphoria undergo hormone blockers and surgeries in a testimonial on their website.

UF Health’s Youth Gender Program boasts of nationally recognized endocrinologists who specialize in administering pubertal suppression and cross-sex hormone medications to minors and connects children and their families with a host of resources that unquestioningly encourage medical transition for children. One testimonial on their website highlights a minor who, with the help of UF Health, received facial surgery, hormone blockers and a referral for an unspecified cross-sex surgery before turning 18.

The patient, referred to as “Hunter,” underwent hormone blocker injections and sperm cryopreservation as a minor upon adopting a transgender identity at age 15 after watching “I Am Jazz,” a show about a transgender child, according to a testimonial featured prominently on the Youth Gender Program’s website. Hunter received facial feminization surgery, which can include altering the hairline, shaving down the chin and jawbone or augmenting the lips and nose, upon turning 16 with the help of then-UF Health clinical psychologist Anyaliese Hancock-Smith, and was slated to undergo “gender affirmation surgery” in the summer of 2017.

“At the age of 15, Hunter was watching TLC’s transgender reality series, I am Jazz, when she realized she could no longer continue living uncomfortably in the wrong body. Hunter immediately ran into her mother’s room and told her she needed to be on puberty blocking medication,” the testimonial reads.

Hunter was 17 in April 2017, and it is unclear whether the adolescent turned 18 before the surgery; it’s also unclear precisely which surgery Hunter had and whether UF Health performed it or wrote a referral, though Hunter vaguely gives credit to UF Health.

“After meeting with Dr. Silverstein and being diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria, Hunter was prescribed hormone blocker injections and later underwent sperm cryopreservation, a procedure which would eventually allow her to produce biologic children if she wishes,” the post read. “Hunter now believes she looks on the outside like the gender she has always been on the inside, and she credits much of it to her team at UF Health.”

“Hunter now meets with clinical psychologist Anyaliese Hancock-Smith, Ph.D., who assisted Hunter in healthy development of gender identity and expression congruency. This included Hunter getting some facial feminization surgery for her 16th birthday,” the post continued. “Now seventeen years old, Hunter is preparing to have gender affirmation surgery in the summer of 2017, which will allow her to finally feel comfortable in her own skin. She hopes her story will inspire others to embrace their true selves.”

UF Health also included a quote from the patient encouraging others to go against their parents’ wishes when pursuing medical transitions.

“Your parents may not understand and may fight your transition, but this is the way you were born,” Hunter said in the testimonial. “Your authentic life is worth fighting for.”

UF’s Youth Gender Program was following about 50 children receiving puberty blockers and had about 200 patients total on hormones, according to data supplied to the Tampa Bay Times. Fewer than 50 patients in the practice had mastectomies, which are not performed on children under 16, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The program collaborated with transgender activist group Equality Florida, a group that supports childhood gender transitions and has staunchly opposed efforts to limit those procedures for minors in Florida.

UF Health did not respond to dozens of requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation, including numerous requests over phone, voicemail and email for the institution’s age guidelines for gender-related procedures. UF Health also has yet to share records requested through Florida’s freedom of information law regarding its Youth Gender Program.

Many medical professionals criticize administering puberty blockers and performing sex change surgeries on minors, arguing that children can’t consent to the irreversible procedures and questioning their purported benefits. However, prominent medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics support affirming transgender identities through medical procedures, even for minors, and view the procedures as a way to improve adolescents’ mental health.

“All the up-to-date evidence shows that puberty blockers are neither safe nor reversible. The evidence shows that 98% of children who take puberty blockers go on to cross-sex hormones,” Stella O’Malley, an Irish psychotherapist and founder of the gender-critical organization Genspect, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We are roughly 10 years into this large-scale experiment and already we have reports on issues with cognitive development, bone mineral density and fertility. It is only with class action suits, like that taken in the UK, will we see a full exploration of this issue.”

Detransitioners, people who regret undergoing medical gender transitions, are also speaking out against the procedures. Helena Kirshner, a young woman who took cross-sex hormones and socially transitioned to a male identity as a teenager, attributed her temporary trans identity to emotional struggles, peer influence and social media.

“The adolescent brain is in a developmental stage primed to incorporate experiences into the process of identity formation,” she wrote in a February Substack post. “At my first appointment, I was prescribed testosterone, and I would remain on this regimen for a year and a half. It had an extremely negative effect on my mental health, and I finally admitted what a disaster it had been when I was 19 … It has not been easy, and the whole experience seriously derailed my life in ways I could never have foreseen when I was that fifteen-year-old kid playing with pronouns on Tumblr.”

The Youth Gender Program offers consultation, psychotherapy and assessment of medical readiness for cross-sex hormone therapy, according to its website; though it does not list surgical procedures it provides for minors, the first item on its resource page is financing advice for “gender confirmation surgery.” Resources for transgender youth also include a guide to “tucking,” or using tape to hide one’s penis, along with various activist groups including GLAAD which are vocal proponents of childhood medical transitions.

The Youth Gender Program claims its services are consistent with World Professional Association For Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines; WPATH’s most recent standards of care do not list any age restrictions for minors to be eligible for cross-sex procedures including surgeries, and the organization is generally supportive of adolescent medical transition.

Dr. Michael Haller, chief of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Florida, publicly criticized detransitioner Chloe Cole on Twitter in August after she voiced regret about undergoing a medical transition as a minor and criticized the interventionist approach to gender dysphoria that Haller endorses. Cole, who underwent a “gender-affirming” double-mastectomy at age 15 along with cross-sex hormones that permanently altered her voice, no longer identifies as transgender and advocates against sex change procedures for minors.

“She states she was ‘rushed’ through care but notes her first endocrinologist actually said ‘no’ to rapid transition,” Haller wrote. “She sought alternative avenues for treatment. She then speaks as if her case should justify full scale elimination access for all trans patients.”

“You chose internet notoriety over anything that will ever help patients,” he wrote in another tweet.

“At this point, Dr. Haller has a creepy obsession with me. He’s a corrupt Dr. and Prof. who recommends children for double mastectomies and cross sex hormones. Dr. Haller exhibits abusive habits towards outspoken victims of gender care,” Cole wrote

Haller initially agreed to an interview with the DCNF before cancelling and instructing the DCNF to direct questions to an outside organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, which also did not respond to a request for comment.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor: What Putin is Trying to Accomplish in Ukraine Now

Watch this short video, especially anyone who thinks Ukraine is winning war against Russia with our help.

This is war is being egged on by Biden and the Obama 3.0 Admin and is costing us billions in funds, so far the cost to U.S. taxpayers is approximately $80 billion and growing.

Expect countless more billions of dollars in latest U.Ss equipment thus depleting our arsenal and ability to secure our country while at the same time is feeding more inflation.

It this Biden’s Afghanistan?

This is lunacy all done for the wrong reasons e.g. no U.S. national security at risks. It appears to be all about disrupting November 8th, 2022 midterm election as well as covering up for the U.S. money laundering operations including those of the Bidens, Clintons, Romneys and others, facilitated by very corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs who are getting richer.

A cease fire is possible simply by Ukraine putting it in writing that they will not join NATO. They already know they have lost Crimea but could have access to port as they had before this war started.

Just my 2cents worth.
