Canadians, unlike Americans, are aware of the current state of affairs. Americans, however, are oblivious due to psychological escape mechanisms like the ”I can’t look at it” mentality. I witnessed the collapse of American society and don’t want to see it happen here.

American companies to invest billions of dollars to refurbish the country's gutted industry. He specified that US troops would "have a presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil."Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says U.S. President Donald Trump isn't joking - he believes Trump's threat to make Canada the 51st state is a "real thing,' ," in part due to his desire to gain access to Canada's critical minerals, according to a source who heard the behind-closed-doors comment at a summit in Toronto on Friday.

The other thing that's interesting here is that the AMA responds *as an institution* - choosing self-preservation over truth, and self-preservation over individual members' values. I mention this because it's a big factor in how this kind of political manipulation gets normalized.

Jay Bhattacharya provided false scientific testimony under oath, and the 5th Circuit cited this in their decision to grant a preliminary injunction against the OSHA vaccine mandate. @joho.bsky.social
Lying under oath
McCullough and Bhattacharya have lied multiple times under oath. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals cited his false scientific testimony in their decision to provide a preliminary injunction against the OSHA vaccine mandate. Much of the same arguments were used in the Supreme Court Case and, as you know, the Supreme Court allowed the CMS vaccine mandate to take effect but blocked the OSHA
mandate. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.lawd.185837/gov.uscourt
s.lawd.185837.28.0.pdf
Additionally, the Plaintiff States provided evidence in the Declaration of Dr. Peter A.
McCullough that the COVID-19 vaccines do not prevent transmission of the disease among the
vaccinated or mixed vaccinated/unvaccinated populations, and that mandatory COVID-19
vaccines for hospitals do not increase safety for employees or hospital patients. McCullough
declared that additional treatment with other drugs and supplements has resulted in an 85%
reduction in hospitalizations and death of high-risk individuals presenting with COVID-19.
Of note, Dr. McCullough declared the Delta variant of SARS-Cov-2 accounts for 98.9%
of the present cases in the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel. Dr. McCullough further
declared that because of the progressive mutation of the spike protein, the virus has achieved an
immune escape from COVID-19 vaccines. He stated the Delta variant is not adequately covered
by the vaccines. In other words, even if you are fully vaccinated, you still may become infected
with the COVID-19 virus

modern authoritarian systems persist because ordinary people participate in small, meaningless lies to avoid friction. this was written in 1978 but could have been written today.
Ideology, in creating a bridge of excuses between the system and the individual, spans the abyss between the aims of the system and the aims of life. It pretends that the requirements of the system derive from the requirements of life. It is a world of appearances trying to pass for reality.
The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the work ing class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his ultimate liberation; depriving people of in formation is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics.
It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.

Better explained here:
Anyone asking you not to bring up politics in your writings does not understand that what you're writing is not political. Calling out the politicization of medicine, science and public health is in itself, not partisan. This an attempt to silence you. The evidence you correctly point out, across your writings are factually based and you take the time to cite your work extensively. This request from you is a bad faith effort by people who are either doing it for malicious reasons, or because they don't understand how partisan actors in the Trump movement have politicized all issues so they can dismiss all meaningful critiques as "political attacks." This has been a very effective strategy by them to destroy the truth, paint themselves as victims and silence others.
Carry on with your excellent work and please don't be dissuaded by these disingenuous bad actors.
