Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Christopher Rufo: Biden Has Dispatched The Secret Police of the FBI to Harass and Intimidate Whistleblowers Who Expose Hospitals Illegally Performing Trans Surgeries on ChildrenAnd the FBI, of course, is only too eager to play the role of the American Stasi. The allegation brought forward by whistleblowers is that some trans doctors are defrauding Medicaid by falsifying eligibility for trans "therapy." Rather than investigate the substance of these allegations, the FBI is intimidating the whistleblowers. Again. As usual. City Journal:The "gender-affirming care" business has always had an aura of madness around it. Wielding the authority of white coats and prestigious degrees, doctors have convinced large swaths of the public that some children are "born in the wrong body." The solution? Stop puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones, and then, with the stroke of a knife, remove body parts--most commonly breasts, less frequently genitalia. These medical practices use scientific rhetoric to affirm what is, at bottom, an ideological program. And gender activists have been successful enough at capturing the legitimizing institutions--medical societies, regulatory bodies, and teaching hospitals--to repel most challenges to the burgeoning child sex-change industry. ... I have reported on one of these programs, the pediatric gender clinic at Texas Children's Hospital. Last year, I published an investigation demonstrating that, though it had promised to shut down its program, Texas Children's had continued to administer hormone drugs to children as young as 11. Following the story, the state attorney general launched an investigation, and state legislators passed a bill, SB 14, prohibiting all transgender medical interventions on minors. While these scandals caught the headlines, another story involving the same institution was brewing in the background: medical fraud. According to a new whistleblower, doctors at Texas Children's Hospital were willing to falsify medical records and break the law to keep practicing "gender-affirming care." Caught in the wave of ideological fervor, two of the hospital's prominent physicians, Richard Ogden Roberts and David Paul, cut corners and, according to the whistleblower, committed Medicaid fraud to secure funds for the hospital's child sex-change program. (Texas Children's Hospital, Roberts, and Paul did not respond to a request for comment.) This is a story of fanaticism, hubris, and the murky business of transgender medicine. It would have remained hidden, except for the courage of two people inside the hospital, a surgeon named Eithan Haim and a nurse who has now decided to come forward. Both have risked much to alert the public to the barbarism that is occurring at the nation's largest, and arguably most prestigious, children's hospital. Some years ago, Vanessa Sivadge thought she had it made, having just accepted a position as a registered nurse at Texas Children's Hospital. She had wanted to be a nurse since high school and felt a sense of joy in helping children. But her feelings toward Texas Children's didn't last. Beginning in 2021, Sivadge saw a dramatic rise in the number of "transgender children" treated at the hospital. These patients struggled with various problems: depression, anxiety, addiction, suicide attempts, physical abuse, and discomfort with puberty. But rather than deal with these underlying psychological conditions, Sivadge says, doctors at the hospital would diagnose them with "gender dysphoria" and assign them to a regimen of "gender-affirming care." The practice made Sivadge recoil. "In the cardiac clinic, we were taking sick kids and making them better," she says. "In the transgender clinic, it was the opposite. We were harming these kids." Then, the following year, she breathed a sigh of relief. Under pressure from the state attorney general, Ken Paxton, Texas Children's CEO Mark Wallace said that he was shutting down the child gender clinic. But it wasn't true. Mere days later, it had secretly reopened for business. And business was booming. Doctors, including Roberts, Paul, and Kristy Rialon, were managing dozens of pediatric sex-change cases, performing surgeries, blocking puberty, implanting hormone devices, and making specialty referrals. They were motivated not only by ideology, but by hope for prestige: they were saviors of the oppressed, the vanguard of gender medicine. Sivadge soon had seen enough. She read my investigative report exposing Texas Children's sex-change program, which relied on testimony from Haim, and reached out to share her own observations. "I work very closely with this provider, Dr. Richard Roberts. I've been in the room with him when he speaks with these patients," she told me in an interview. "Dr. Roberts is extremely encouraging of their transition and will essentially do whatever he can to make sure that they are happy, at least externally happy. Because I am absolutely certain that they are not internally happy. He is very accommodating. He does whatever they want. Essentially, there is no critical analysis of the process." In Sivadge's view, Roberts and other providers were manipulating patients into accepting "gender-affirming care." When parents objected, the doctors bulldozed them, she claims. Some families, she believed, feared that the hospital would call Child Protective Services if they dissented. Then, two months after I spoke with her for that story, Sivadge called me in a panic. The FBI had sent two special agents, Paul Nixon and David McBride, to her home. The agents knocked on the door, asked her about "some of the things that have been going on at [her] work lately," and then asked to enter her home. She was terrified. (The FBI declined to comment.) The agents told Sivadge that she was a "person of interest" in an investigation targeting the whistleblower who had exposed the child sex-change program. They told her that the whistleblower had broken federal privacy laws. "They threatened me," Sivadge said. "They promised they would make life difficult for me if I was trying to protect the leaker. They said I was 'not safe' at work and claimed that someone at my workplace had given my name to the FBI."Much more at the link. As you know, the lawless, corrupt tyranny that has usurped this country's government is opening up the federal dragnet claiming that these whistleblowers -- who are exposing real crimes and fraud -- are guilty of... HIPPA violations. Video of The Knock At the Door below. Christopher F. Rufo

Yesterday, Ace posted a story concerning a memo sent to various government agencies toting the benefit of an intelligence officer being a transgender. To me it was an obvious effort to get feedback....and then dismiss those government employees that responded negatively. It's an effort to weed out people with common sense, morals and normal behavior in favor of those who carry the approved ideological agenda.
My point is thus: There are no more Rank and File FBI agents. They've been weeded out. Those who object to this sort of intimidation on behalf of a ludicrous agenda are punish, suspended...then fired. Posted by: Orson at June 18, 2024 07:07 PM (dIske) 14

He is now facing up to 10 years in prison for telling the truth about a practice that is now illegal. Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Dr. Eithan Haim is the hero who exposed illegal child abuse taking place at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. After Texas acted to make child sex-change treatments illegal, TCH continued to perform these abusive, harmful "treatments" anyway. Haim blew the whistle. Now, the Biden DOJ is trying to throw him in prison for ten years. Inexcusable. The forces targeting our children are more evil than we can imagine. We must defeat them.

COVID shot mandates started in Texas for a reason. _Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, MD, ... forcing working citizens to choose between their right to bodily autonomy and staying employed was the most egregious, and it all started in Houston, Texas. May 2021, three months before Biden announced federal employees would be required to get the COVID shots, Houston Methodist Hospital proudly declared it was setting a precedent - “leading medicine” as they like to say - and mandating COVID shots for all of its employees. https://shorturl.at/sp1F2 Posted by: Braenyard at June 18, 2024 07:28 PM (bQ/08) 87

-Remember there was a video about a year ago of agents going to some guy's house to ask him about some friend that they were looking for. Those agents were dress slovenly too.
I suspect they do that for two reasons. The stupid, "we are just regular guys", and more importantly, they want to give the target the idea that maybe they aren't agents and are up to no good and the subject may do something that could be classified as assaulting a federal official.

And the FBI, of course, is only too eager to play the role of the American Stasi.
-------------- The FBI is making sure there is nobody to defend them when it's their turn, and there will come their turn. When that happens they may not even get security jobs at warehouses. Posted by: Decaf at June 18, 2024 07:57 PM (unUNN) 174
The fact that all these govt agencies that have nothing to do with law enforcement, unless you count regulation enforcement as law enforcement (I don't), started acquiring weapon arsenals and stockpiling ammunition, and not a thing was done or said about it in congress or the media, should have been a bright neon sign that we became a police state.
Posted by: Chuck Martel at June 18, 2024 07:53 PM Uh congress is the body that gave all of those agencies law enforcement powers, why would congress bitch about them buying guns and ammo after they said that was all cool? Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 18, 2024 07:58 PM (QNSds) 175

why would congress bitch about them buying guns and ammo after they said that was all cool?
______ Good point. But I hoped that because some didn't vote for that and because at least a handful still have a tenuous grip on what it means to be American, there would be a move to stop it. But I guess with the continuing resolutions being the new standard operating procedure, nothing can be done about it. FU to Mike Johnson and the other loser that was there before him that they wouldn't do what was necessary to get back to regular order budgets.

Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at June 18, 2024 08:00 PM I agree 100% with you, but that is not what the OP was stating. Regardless of what the founders intended, they gave Congress the power to make laws and fund those laws. The fact that they decided to abrogate their responsibilities is the topic of another dozen conversations. As Ben Franklin stated after everyone signed the constitution, what you have is a republic, if you can keep it. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 18, 2024 08:06 PM (QNSds) 191

Posted by: polynikes at June 18, 2024 07:05 PM (SHMXB) ________________ A guy at my church is a criminal defense attorney. Small town, small town crimes. I asked him, if I ever get that knock on the door- and I don't have any reason to think I would, but IF I did, who would I call? You? He said, of course. Immediately put his phone # in my phone. He emphasized, "We'll be courteous about it..." He is correct. We did not discuss video-recording my conversation w/ the jack boots, but I'd go beyond the advice he gave me and do that. Don't ever want it to be my word against their. The judges automatically believe anyone from the govt, even though they're not supposed to.

The fact it is the eff bee eye is the tell. They are not charged with investigating HIPPA violations or Medicaid fraud, which was alleged by Rufo's second whistleblower. HHS OCR handles HIPPA investigations and HHS OIG/OI and state MFCUs handle Medicaid fraud investigations.

I don't know who here is still on that side. If someone comes to your door, first of all, don't open the door. If you have to open the door, don't talk to them. ASK FOR A WARRANT. if they don't have one, order them off of your property. Video every movement they make. Tell them to get lost. Anyone who, and let's face it, there might be some who still think they are on the side of the good, the beautiful and the true - they are not. Refuse. You do not have to cooperate with them.
