Complete Lives Covid Protocol?
Lethal Connections: “Complete Lives” Morphs into “COVID Protocol” in America’s Hospitals By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD In a shocking departure from traditional hospital policies, a hospital admission has become like reporting to prison. Prisoners in America’s jails have more visitation rights than do COVID patients in America’s hospitals. One family member, a professional psychologist with a career focus treating victims of trauma, said that in many hospitals COVID patients are treated “little better than animals.” Shocking recordings of Mayo Clinic-Scottsdale and Banner Health Sys... read more

Verdict In The Case Of Black, Brown And Indigenous Peoples
The fact that the United States has committed an array of human rights abuses against Black, Brown, and Indigenous Peoples should be as uncontroversial as it is incontrovertible. There is widespread agreement that settler colonialists committed genocide and other crimes against the Indigenous populations while taking their lands. No one would disagree that enslaved Africans were forced to work the settler colonial lands for hundreds of years in subhuman conditions. The historical record tells the story of additional human rights abuses committed against Mexicans and other groups a... read more

Our Savage Neighbours
This isn't a pleasant entry. Until almost a hundred years ago, Britain was the world's leading murderer and plunderer. So it's no surprise to learn that the British immigrants to what would become the U.S. conducted extraordinary mass murder to steal land from the aboriginal people - and slaughtering men, women and children - yes, even babies - in their centuries of wars. It happened in Canada with the French and the British, too, of course, and that was brutal enough - though the intensity of the slaughter was much greater in the U.S. As well, Canada put an end to its fighting in t... read more

Slovakia has its own Watergate
Robert Fico (picture below) is arguably the main leader of the current Slovak opposition and a former prime minister of Slovakia (party: Smer/Direction Social Democracy, estimated to be 2nd strongest in Slovakia now and get ~18% in future elections). I was never "thrilled" by him, after all, his party is a (moderate) left-wing one, and (much like Babiš), he had some ambiguous relationship towards the fall of communism in Czechoslovakia. However, he always looked like a chap with common sense, I don't remember anything "terrifying" from his reign, and despite their different backgrou... read more

They used to kill the bison, take its hide, and leave the rotting carcass behind. Charles Rath and Robert Wright in Dodge City, Kansas, shipped 200,000 bison hides in the winter of 1873.
