"This undermines one of the fundamental premises behind the wars: the alleged association between the Taliban and the drug trade – a concept of a narco-terror nexus. However, this notion was fallacious. The reality was that Afghanistan was responsible for a staggering 80-90% of the world’s illicit opiate supply. The primary controllers of this trade were the Afghan government and military, entities we upheld in power.”

Doctors & Pharmacist were threatened they would lose their licenses if they prescribed Ivermectin to treat COVID, but thankfully many, like my own, chose to give life saving Ivermectin anyway.

The real reason the FDA lied about Ivermectin is because the vaccines would not have been approved if a treatment for COVID existed.

How many people died without extremely low cost Ivermectin or HCQ so that hundreds of billions could be made from the vaccines?

How many people are permanently damaged or dead from taking COVID vaccines who could have been easily treated with Ivermectin?

And the taxpayers were forced to pay for this while being forced to shutdown, stay home, wear masks, and get vaxxed!

All of this is criminal and our COVID Committee must handle these issues.

What’s going on in Europe?

43% of German schoolgirls are willing to provide sex services to earn money for paying tuition fees.

The survey was conducted among girls aged 14-16 from middle-income families.

Schoolgirls aged 14-16 are willing to engage in sex work to pay for education and improve their financial situation in the future.

Sanctions on Russia are destroying Europe. Not Russia.

USA TODAY: ALARMING RISE IN EXCESS DEATHS IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY
According to life insurance actuaries, among working people 35 to 44 years old, 34% more died than expected in the last quarter of 2022. Other working age groups have experienced above average death rates too. These same actuaries say that COVID deaths do not “fully explain” this phenomenon.

And why did worker mortality suddenly spike in the fall of 2021 when COVID death rates were falling?

Similar actuarial trends have been observed in Australia and the UK. What is causing this spike in excess mortality among working age people? Where is the urgency to figure it out?

🇩🇪 Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme

In a rare move, the respected Der Spiegel news magazine weighed into the debate with a leader noscriptd: “Ban the enemies of the constitution!” 
It warned that “the AfD has become more and more radicalised. It’s time to defend democracy with better weapons”.

The co-leader of Olaf Scholz’s ruling Social Democrats also said a ban should be considered if the AfD is categorised as a group of “proven Right-wing extremists” by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The amazing golden color of these scarab beetles (Chrysina resplendens) is not a result of pigmentation or actual metal, but ≈70 microscropic chitin layers of decreasing thickness that reflect light to produce a metallic effect.

ELON MUSK STEPS UP: Musk Vows To Pay Legal Bills For Canceled Twitter Users Who Lost Jobs.

Will Elon Musk pay for Dr. Simon Goddek’s legal bills if he sues the employer who fired him over speaking the truth about Covid?

Dr. Simon Goddek joins Stew to tell his story about how Twitter banned him for saying vitamin D helps fight Covid and how he lost his job for speaking truth.

Goddek was targeted by insane leftists because he suggested taking large quantities of vitamin D could prevent Covid deaths.
