American Medical Association Demands Merrick Garland Begin Intimidating Critics of Transgender Surgeries and <i>Prosecute</i> Journalists for "Disinformation," All in the Guise of Stopping "Threats"

American Medical Association Demands Merrick Garland Begin Intimidating Critics of Transgender Surgeries and Prosecute Journalists for "Disinformation," All in the Guise of Stopping "Threats"

This is what the National School Boards Association did last year -- in order to intimidate political opponents who protested their policies of pushing transgender grooming on children, they conspired with Merrick Garland to label concerned parents exercising their political rights to speak up at school board meetings as "domestic terrorists" and open investigations into them.

And now the American Medical Association demands Merrick Garland do the same for anyone opposing irreversible chemical castration or surgical amputations for children.

But the AMA has really escalated the game -- they're demanding the FBI wage open warfare against journalists like Christopher Rufo who are producing information The Regime wants kept out of the public view.

Think he'll comply and start siccing the FBI on another foe of a militant leftwing client group and imposing a Stasi-enforced silence on critics of the left? Because I sure do.

We're in the endgame now, folks.

Christopher Rufo reports on the AMA's demand that the FBI and DOJ throw him in jail:

Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo
BREAKING: The American Medical Association is asking Big Tech and the Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is "disinformation.

Of course the corrupt AMA, which only represents 17% of all doctors, supported Obamacare -- despite most actual doctors opposing it.

I say when we get a Republican president and a Republican DOJ and a Republican congress, we probe these motherf***ers and look at their books and their donors. And we prosecute them if we find anyone's taking any money we think looks sketchy.

Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo
This is now the Left's playbook: last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and F.B.I. worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory "domestic terrorists." They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.
We need to our local fascism expert @jasonintrator [a leftwinger always accusing the right of imposing "fascism" despite not actually being in control of the government] to let us know if a collaboration between the state security services and the largest corporations to silence political opposition is "fascism" -- or if that's moot because the current president isn't orange-colored.
The morality of this situation is blindingly clear:
* Threatening hospitals is wrong.
* Censoring journalists is wrong.
* Criminalizing political opposition is wrong.

The four stages of radical gender surgeries for minors:

1. It's not happening.
2. It's good that it's happening.
3. It's empowering when we say it's happening, but disinformation when you say it's happening.
4. The F.B.I. should put you in prison for quoting us saying it's happening.

Yes, it always goes that way. There is also no such thing as an affirmative action hire, until white liberals want to give each other awards for making affirmative action hires. But if you then say "You're giving each other awards for affirmative action hires," they call you a racist for noticing the awards under their arms.

And now they want to throw you in jail for noticing.

Children's hospitals: "We give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries."
Conservatives: "They give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries."
The regime: "That's harmful disinformation and should be censored, criminalized, and suppressed."

David Strom notes this:

It... reveals what we all knew to be true, which is that the medical establishment is working diligently with the social media companies to silence their critics--and the social media companies are happy to do so. As I noted before my Facebook account was restricted the day after I started writing for HotAir. But my punishment for dissent is nothing compared to what others have suffered.

He notes that LibsofTikTok has been suspended again, for reporting Facts which The Regime has declared to be BadFacts.

Always remember:

Some of us said that the time was short and we were well past the time for f***ing about. Some of us knew What Time It Was (and Is).

Some -- the NeverTrumpers, Conservative, Inc. -- swore that progressives hadn't really changed at all, and it was only conservatives who had changed and gotten Mean and Unreasonable, and that we could win and Restore Norms by changing our behavior to be more accommodating, and then the left would treat us better and then we just need to pass one more Corporate Tax Rate Reduction Package and it would all be 2003 Again.

Always remember. NeverTrump and Conservative, Inc. are always talking about "accountability" for Trump but they never, ever will take accountability for their own lies and catastrophic errors of judgment.

As I told @IngrahamAngle tonight: "I have a message for Attorney General Merrick Garland: you can threaten us; you can mobilize the FBI against us; you can drag us out of our homes in a pre-dawn raid. But we are not going to stop reporting on radical gender surgeries on minors." pic.twitter.com/Mq1T0QHfyM

Note: I said the AMA took money to claim that sugar was "heart healthy." I think now I was thinking of the American Heart Association, not the AMA.

This kind of thing was pretty widespread, with doctors routinely publishing absurd studies paid for by Sugar Lobby to claim that sugar wasn't linked to either heart disease or even -- get this -- obesity.

But I can't say the AMA took money to spread this false claim. I correct and retract.

Unless/until I can review Gary Taubes' book about sugar and review this topic again.

It's actually less than 17% of all physicians; they give free memberships to all medical students, residents, and various other places.

I personally don't know a single physician that is a member and none of my hospital affiliations have a membership /subscription for the medical library either.

I'm guessing a fair amount of members are also quite old physicians who subscription is updated automatically and they don't even think about it.

Both have changed. The Left has gone utterly bonkers. Progs 15 years are knee-jerk counterrevolutionary wreckers compared to Progs today. On the non-Prog side, a conservative talking about rolling back globalism and ending asymmetrical free trade would have been a pariah then, but is more or less mainstream MAGA now.

The claim that "they're not worse, we're just more unreasonable" ignores one half of the equation entirely, and is the argument of moral equivalence that the shift in position on one side is no different from the shift in position on the other. Wanting tariffs against abuse trading partners is exactly the same as wanting to sexually mutilate children. They're equivalent, because the shifts are on different sides.

Underneath it all, she's a good kid.

But the other day, she came out and declared to the world that she wants "top surgery".

The only way they knew how to eat was with their hands off paper plates, or at picnics, where some authority tried to establish order (these often ended in fights, gunfire and killings over such things as a scoop of potato salad), sometimes out of a fast-food bag.
Never sat down for a meal in their whole lives unless it was in jail or prison.

This is a great example of happens in Fauxmerica. Just like with the school board association demanding the DoJ step in to stop parents from protesting their systematic buggery of the butts and minds of kids.

Everything is one vast complex of private sector enterprises, NGOs, public/private partnerships, and of course Big Daddy Government, fucking everyone over with zero accountability.

All of it is in a nice, extralegal gray area.

It's a fake Constitutional system. It all needs to go. Like, yesterday. Baby, bathwater, and all.

156 Can anybody explain Fetterman's appeal? I searched around, and these seven quotes are what voters supposedly said about him:

“I like John Fetterman because he’s one of us,”
“He stands for everything I stand for,”
“Look how he dress. He’s one of us.”
“Fetterman listens to women’s rights because if they take away women’s rights, what other rights are in store? Is it going to be voting rights? It’s already under attack,”
“He might just be the real thing.”
"I’ve never been more confident in a politician in my life"
“His energy, his swagger, his vibe and his experience of knowing what it takes,”

Maybe Dave in Fla can explain it.

174 Of course the corrupt AMA, which only represents 17% of all doctors, supported Obamacare -- despite most actual doctors opposing it.

The AMA publishes the ICD codes, used for medical billing. Licenses its use to insurance companies makes big money. Obama threatened to have Medicare publish its own competing diagnosis codes and mandate their use for all medicare billing, effectively cutting off the AMAs revenue-- unless the AMA endorsed Obamacare. Which they did. Because they care. About money.

175 "Stocks rally as investors hope for policy pivot"

that is probably the biggest hope. Also as I hear it, end of quarter some funds will dump the dogs, so they don't show up as big holdings in their quarterly reports. So maybe now they are buying them back.

Rates need to rise imo, but even if Powell suggests a pause -- probably due to political pressure to "save the elections" -- it could spur a rally.

But Powell seems intent on killing the leveraged speculation, which has made the rich much richer, and harms the working class. AND they have to restrain infinite debt, unless the fed truly serves the globalists and the BBB new world order regime.

191 I don't know who said it first, but this transgender mutilation of children is going to be the lobotomy of these times; looked on as a miracle cure for a knotty problem, and then swept under the rug as soon as the horror becomes plain.

Remember growing up sorta knowing that John F Kennedy had a 'developmently disabled' sister named Rosemary, and later finding out that Joe Sr had her lobotomized when she got too stroppy? Doctors were stirring people's frontal lobes into pudding without much of an excuse, until the sad horde of mutilated zombies got too big to cover up anymore.

It's gonna happen again with 'sexual affirmation surgery', and everyone's gonna look around like, "Well, who thought THIS was a good idea?"

208 Also, just why in the fuck are Red States not prosecuting doctors and parents for child genital mutilation?

They’re not even willing to call it mutilation. “Radical gender surgeries”? In what sense are these procedures a surgery?

Cambridge Dictionary: the treatment of injuries or diseases in people or animals by cutting open the body and removing or repairing the damaged part

Collins Dictionary: Surgery is medical treatment in which someone's body is cut open so that a doctor can repair, remove, or replace a diseased or damaged part.

Current Wikipedia definition of surgery: Surgery[a] is a medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques on a person to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury, to help improve bodily function, appearance, or to repair unwanted ruptured areas.

Current Google definition: the branch of medical practice that treats injuries, diseases, and deformities by the physical removal, repair, or readjustment of organs and tissues, often involving cutting into the body.

None of that is what’s going on here.

That's terrible. Prosecute the bomb-threatener, then.

Also: I was unable to be with my mother from March of 2020 until the day she died on August 31, 2020 because of non-"fact-based" Covid19 lockdowns. Though I was able to see her and hold her hand just before she died.

279 generally, stocks and interest rates (bonds) are inversely correlated. Stocks go up when interest rates decline.

Today, interest rates are rising at the fastest pace in modern history, as the Fed desperately tries to contain the Biden fiscal stimulus. If Biden stopped increasing borrowing and then giving the money away, the Fed would have an easier time of it. But that will never happen.

So, we are condemned to a path of a smaller economy, high food and energy inflation, and (perversely) increasing stress on Social Security and Medicare. Not a good stock market recipe, or jobs recipe.

A bill sitting on his desk (AB 209

It would allow the Medical Board of California to revoke a doctor’s license to practice medicine in the state for expressing an opinion "contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care." The problem is that "contemporary scientific consensus" has fluctuated wildly over the past two years.

The Resistance was also largely communists. When DeGaulle took power, he was urged to appoint members of the Resistance, but would not do so because they were strident communists.

The twitter-play was always a tesla-share-laundering exercise. ("Laundering" is a bit harsh but the point is he can't just sell Tesla shares without tanking the stock. He has to find a reason to sell that his fan-soi-bois will buy)

379 I go to Drs. One I saw recently is a very good looking cardiologist (It's not why I picked him. He just happened to one assigned to me at the hospital.) and when I went to visit at his office (The literature in the office recommended wearing masks) and was in a room and he came in not wearing a mask I said, "Do I have to wear this thing? (At that point it was down under my chin as I was the only one in the examination room) he replied "Do what you feel comfortable with."

That comment ended far too soon. Was ramping up into a steamy scene.

"Whatever I feel comfortable with?" she queried, coyly. The doctor turned and met her questioning eyes with his intense orbs of emerald blue. "Whatever you feel comfortable with, my dear. Whatever you feel comfortable with."

He continue to stare as she carefully began to unbutton...

Up until the Invasion of Russia, the Commies were happy to collaborate with the Nazis. Russia and Germany were bestest buds, carving up Europe from Finland to the Baltics, Poland to the Balkans.

During 1938-1940, the Commies were busy sabotaging the war effort in the French factories and the French Army both.

During the "Resistance"? The Commies squealed on every non-Communist Resistance Leader they could to the Gestapo.

419 From the NRSC-
While on the campaign trail, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman claims he was “very successful” in reducing crime when he was mayor of Braddock, PA. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, according to publicly available data, crime SKYROCKETED in Braddock while Fetterman was mayor. And, in 2019, the first year in over a decade that Fetterman was not mayor, Braddock’s crime rate dropped by 61 percent.

As reported by Breitbart, during Fetterman’s time as mayor (2006 – 201

, he oversaw crime surges as well as a declining population despite repeatedly promising to attract new residents and revitalize the area.

The scale of IAN is HUGE, but from the news coverage, I was expecting to see Hiroshima like damage (IMHO, like Michael's was) vs what I saw on the drone videos. I know 100+ people died but a shitload of wrecked boats and lots and lots of what looked like intact roofs is not what the aftermath of Michael was.

A Republican House and Senate can't make new law because Biden will veto them. The best they can do is: 1) block bad legislation and 2) use their power of investigation.

The point of impeachment proceedings when you don't have 2/3 to convict is to shine a light on certain issues. The media can't ignore an impeachment. You'd be surprised at how few people know about minors getting trans surgery. Imagine putting several who regret their surgeries on the stand.

433 The profit margin on an inpatient surgery is much higher than for a patient who is in the hospital because of a chronic illness. Like most things, profit driven.

Regardless, and maybe apples and oranges again but, it's still against the law to perform FGM/C in the United States on a girl under the age of 18, or for the parent, caretaker, or guardian of a girl under the age of 18 to facilitate or consent to FGM/C being performed on her.

I guess one type of surgery is abusive and violates civil rights but the other is related to wellness & mental health?

436 If no one else has stated this already - know that less than 19% of physicians belong to the AMA. It is a thoroughly left wing propaganda organization, as is the American Academy of Pediatrics. I dropped my AAP membership in 2004 when at the national conference some AAP schmuck was there trying to get physicians to sign a petition for the complete government socialist takeover of American Medicine. The wurm didn't appreciate me engaging him on the actual facts of the cost of medicine and the inevitable loss of access to care that would occur should the government take over medicine. I had already been disgusted with the AAP pushing pediatricians to propagandize parents against gun ownership, and now their position now on the tranny insanity is purely evil and disgusting.

Medical care is in a serious state of collapse. Eat healthy, exercise and do your damndest to stay out of the hospital. Do not let any woketard medical school graduate pretending to be an actual physician push you into accepting medical interventions you do not want. SERIOUSLY investigate potential pediatricians before you let them see your children, because the woketard ones will turn them against you.
