Bit of a blind spot when it comes to 3.9bn of US taxpayers  'aid' every year to one country though. 🤣

AIPAC makes a lot of people very rich when they leave government positions, and Trumps 100m election money from israel is now demanding something for it. Is that being looked in to ?  Rhetorical.

[Fulham Broadway 16,995]

Trumps deal with Putin is similar to Ribbentrop and Stalin carving up Poland 80 years ago

Putin gets to keep the land invaded, and more than half of Ukraines agricultural land is now owned by  US corporations...

‘Ejaculating without intent’ draft bill slammed as ‘mockery of basic biological concepts’

https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/fine-law-abortion-ejaculation-ban-ohio-b2698443.html

An Ohio draft bill planning to fine men who ejaculate ‘without the intent of conception’ up to $10,000 has been labelled a 'mockery of basic biological concepts'.

Bill authors, Ohio State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader said in an interview on February 13 that it highlights the hypocrisy of laws regulating women’s bodies.

“Men have the same rights no matter where they go in the country. Women’s rights depend on where they live,” said Somani.

Rader added, “The point of this bill isn’t to get it passed; it’s to call out the hypocrisy.”

However, Republican Representative Austin Beigel slammed the bill as “a mockery of the most basic biological concepts,” and introduced his own bill claiming human life begins at conception, and seeking increased legal protections for embryos, under state law.

Currently, 10 states have made it illegal for women to have an abortion, even in cases of rape.

lol

the fraud is going to come from Trump, Musk, et al

the largest heist in human history

just one example:

trillions of dollars sucked out by the oligarchs (trillions is tax cuts for the ultra rich) whilst vital support programmes trashed for everyone else

and then there is this:

“Elon Musk Is a Walking Conflict of Interest”

Federal law forbids any Executive Branch employee from “participating personally and substantially” in matters “that will affect his own financial interests.”

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-doge-federal-contracts-conflict-interest/

Elon Musk is serving as President Donald Trump’s hatchetman, slashing government spending as part of the administration’s efforts to end federal support for everything from dying babies in warzones and Americans displaced by disasters to US schools and startups working to slash energy bills for rural farmers and grocers.

As the world’s richest man pitches himself as the savior of the American taxpayer, the companies he runs are raking in more federal dollars.

This past Sunday, Tesla finalized a deal to sell 430 megawatts of batteries to Genera, the private company that now operates Puerto Rico’s power plants, for $767 million. The contract, first brokered in October before the election, will be “fully financed with federal funds,” according to a press release.

On Monday, SpaceX netted another $7.5 million supplemental contract with NASA, bringing the total value of that particular deal with Musk’s private rocket firm to $38 million. That’s on top of the more than $4 billion NASA is already paying SpaceX.

“Over and over again, he’s just involved in governmental actions that directly and substantially impact his own financial wellbeing.”

Appearing on television alongside the president in the Oval Office on Tuesday, a defiant Musk dismissed concerns over any conflicts of interest, insisting he had little to do with contracts brokered by the companies where he serves as chief executive.

“You have to look at the individual contract,” Musk told reporters. “First of all, I’m not filing the contract. It’s people at SpaceX…and I like to say if you see any contract where it was awarded to SpaceX and it wasn’t by far the best value for the taxpayer, let me know—because every one of them was.”

On Thursday, the State Department backed away from plans to spend $400 million on armored Tesla vehicles, after the proposal was revealed on social media and reported by the New York Times. The procurement forecast did not specify which Tesla model would be purchased, but the Times speculated the stainless-steel Cybertruck “would be the most suitable vehicle,” despite questions about its safety. 

All seven of Musk’s companies—which include X (formerly Twitter), xAI (a rival to OpenAI), Neuralink (a brain implant startup), Starlink (satellite internet service) and the Boring Company (a tunnel drilling firm), in addition to Tesla and SpaceX—have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times.

“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest,” Craig Holman, the government affairs lobbyist at the consumer watchdog Public Citizen, told me by phone on Thursday. “Over and over again, he’s just involved in governmental actions that directly and substantially impact his own financial wellbeing.”

The federal code known as 18 USC 208 “prohibits an executive branch employee from participating personally and substantially in a particular Government matter that will affect his own financial interests, as well as the financial interests of certain individuals with whom he has ties outside the Government,” according to the US Office of Government Ethics.

In theory, that “should” apply to Musk, Holman said. But Trump can easily issue a waiver exempting Musk from complying with the rules as a so-called special government employee.

Lawmakers have considered tightening federal ethics rules on special government employees in the past, but those were “not serious efforts,” Holman said.

“We haven’t seen this type of abuse until now,” he said.

plague state inbound...................... hello polio, measles, rubella, etc running riot

 

Louisiana health department says it will stop promoting mass vaccination. Here's what that could mean

The announcement came on the heels of RFK Jr.'s confirmation to lead HHS.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/louisiana-health-department-stop-promoting-mass-vaccination/story?id=118819674

 

In a surprising announcement, Louisiana's surgeon general announced late Thursday that the state health department "will no longer promote mass vaccination."

In a memo to staff members, Dr. Ralph Abraham described vaccines as "one tool in a toolbox" to combat severe illness and that conversations about specific vaccines are best held between an individual and their health care provider.

It comes on the heels of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation to lead the Department of Health & Human Services under President Donald Trump. Kennedy has spread unfounded claims about vaccines, including that they cause autism and that certain vaccines are "dangerous."

Dr. Gregory Poland, a vaccinologist and co-director of The Atria Research Institute -- which focuses on disease prevention -- described the policy change as "anti-science" and said there is good public health research data to support mass vaccination.

"I've grown up in an era where other than smallpox, DPT and flu vaccine, we didn't have any of the vaccines we had today, and so we, or friends of ours, got infected, got sick, missed school, some developing polio," he told ABC News. "I mean, it's just shocking to think we would take such a critical public health tool and deconstruct it or invalidate it. I can't believe it."

Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the division of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said not promoting vaccinations could lead to increased hospitalizations and deaths, especially if an outbreak of an incredibly contagious disease, such as measles, emerges.

"On its surface, it makes no sense," Offit told ABC News. "If there was an outbreak of measles, for example, and it started to sweep through the state ... Would you then say, 'No, you can do what you want. If you want to get a vaccine, fine. If you don't, that's fine,' knowing that there are people in the state of Louisiana who can't be vaccinated, knowing that they depend on those around them to protect them?"

Offit said that the change in vaccine promotion in Louisiana appears to be endorsing the idea of medical freedom and individual freedom over collective responsibility, which is "dangerous."

He explained that vaccines don't just protect the individual, they protect the community by creating herd immunity, in which enough of a community is vaccinated, making it harder for a disease to spread. This also protects those who can't get vaccinated due to health reasons.

"This sort of medical freedom notion that you do what you want, the rest of society doesn't count, your neighbor doesn't count, is at best short-sighted, and at worst sort of absents you from any sort of societal responsibility," Offit said. "Do you have any responsibility for the person you sit next to on the bus, or you stand next to on the elevator? You do and you benefit, and they benefit" from vaccines.

Poland said not promoting mass vaccination could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases that overwhelm the health care system.

He explained there is currently a shortage of health care professionals, and the current health care system may not be ready to handle an increase in the number of patients with complications from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Poland added that many younger health care professionals may be unfamiliar with what symptoms of these diseases look like because they are so rare.

"Our current crop of physicians, they've never seen measles, they've never seen rubella, they've never seen polio, they've never seen diphtheria," he said. "I mean, this is going to overload the health care system and lead to inadequate and poor quality of care."

In a separate, publicly posted press release, Abraham said there is a need to rebuild trust from COVID-19 "missteps" and that people have less trust in institutions like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over COVID vaccination requirements.

Offit agrees that trust is low in public health institutions, but says not promoting mass vaccinations is not going to help people regain their trust and may make people lose trust even further.

"There are anti-vaccine doctors, who are perfectly willing to say things that are not supported by the science; that's not surprising," he said. "But what's surprising here is that now you've stepped it up a level. You've stepped it up to someone who does represent the state's public health who is now making an anti-public health statement."

"And if the purpose of that is to gain more credibility, that's not going to happen," Offit continued. "All that's going to do is play into the notion that when we push for vaccinating all to protect the few who can't be vaccinated, that that was wrong, and it wasn't wrong. It was right."

now you have MAGA types impersonating authorities

expect to see this repeated hundreds, maybe thousands of times

 

DOGE impersonators demand sensitive information at S.F. City Hall, flee before deputies arrive, authorities say

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-14/doge-impersonators-demanded-sensitive-information-fled-after-being-turned-away

• Authorities believe three unidentified men posing as DOGE agents attempted to seize sensitive information from San Francisco City Hall before they were rebuffed and fled on Friday afternoon.
• The incident took place at noon as the suspects approached City Hall wearing DOGE shirts and MAGA hats, according to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities believe three unidentified men posing as federal officials attempted to seize sensitive information from San Francisco City Hall before they were rebuffed and fled on Friday afternoon.

At around noon, the suspects approached City Hall wearing Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, shirts and MAGA hats, according to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department.

The men entered several offices, demanding that local employees turn over digital information tied to “alleged wasteful government spending and fraud,” the sheriff’s department said.

City Hall workers refused their request and called the sheriff’s department.

While deputies responded within the minutes, the men fled the building.

“We do not believe they were DOGE representatives,” said Tara Moriarty, the sheriff’s Director of Communications. “As soon as the sheriffs were called, they walked out of the building. They knew that their jig was up.”

The sheriff’s department said it was reviewing surveillance footage as part of its investigation.

Actual DOGE employees, led by tech titan Elon Musk, have allegedly attempted to access private data, including bank account information and Social Security numbers, through Treasury Department records.

A federal judge blocked Musk’s team from doing so last week and the judge extended the order on Friday.

Musk’s DOGE group was tasked by the Trump administration to eliminate wasteful government spending.

Musk was also temporarily blocked earlier this week from accessing student loan and financial aid information from the Department of Education.
