Putin: Ukraine Crisis Could Have Been Avoided if 2020 US Election Wasn’t Stolen
Sputnik
MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that he is ready to talk calmly with US President Donald Trump on all areas that are of interest to both countries.
“We should meet, based on today’s realities, to talk calmly about all those areas that are of interest to both the US and Russia. We are ready, but, I repeat, this depends first of all on the decisions and choices of the current US administration,” Putin said during his visit to Moscow State University.
Russia can have many points of contact with the US administration, including economic issues, Putin said, adding that Russia and the United States have a lot to talk about on economy and energy issues.
“What is typical for the Russian and American economies? We are not only one of the largest producers of energy resources, but we are also the largest consumers of them. This means that for both our economy and the US economy, too high prices are bad, because it is necessary to produce domestically. Using energy resources, it is necessary to produce other goods within the country. And too low prices are also very bad, because it undermines the investment opportunities of energy companies,” he said.
Putin remarked that he has always had businesslike and pragmatic relations with Trump, noting that Moscow welcomes Trump’s statements about a willingness to work together and remains open to it.
“Even if we hear about the possibility of imposing additional sanctions on Russia, I doubt that he will make decisions that will harm the US economy itself,” Putin said.
Trump is “not only an intelligent person, he is a pragmatic person,” Putin added.
The previous administration of US President Joe Biden refused to contact with Russia, and it is not Moscow’s fault, Putin noted. Furthermore, Russia has never refused to use the US dollar in foreign trade transactions.
“We did not abandon the dollar. It was the former US administration that made it impossible for us to use it as a currency for settlements. I think that decision has caused significant harm to the United States,” Putin said.
Ukraine Crisis
Russia is ready for talks on the Ukraine conflict, but there are issues that need attention, the Russian president added. The problem is that Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has banned himself from holding peace talks with Russia.
“It is well-known that the current leader of the regime in Kiev, when he was still fairly legitimate, signed a decree banning negotiations. How can negotiations be resumed now if they are forbidden?” Putin said.
Putin added that it was difficult to talk seriously about any dialogue with Kiev while this ban was still in place.
“However, as long as this ban isn’t lifted, it is hard to say that these negotiations can be properly started and, the most importantly, concluded. Of course, it is possible to make some preliminary outlines, yet it is quite difficult to consider any serious negotiations under the conditions of the ban on the Ukrainian side,” Putin said.
Putin added that the authorities in Kiev receive hundreds of billions from their sponsors, and he believes the same sponsors of the Kiev regime should force Zelensky to lift the ban on talks.
The Russian president also added he agreed with Trump that if he had been reelected US president in 2020 the crisis in Ukraine could have been avoided.
“I cannot but agree with him on that if he were president, if the victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then the crisis that broke out in Ukraine in 2022 would have possibly never happened,” Putin suggested.

Senator Warren Urges Elon Musk To Cut Federal Marijuana Enforcement Through New DOGE Agency
By Karl Jaeger
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is urging Elon Musk, chair of the Trump administration’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to target “unnecessary” federal enforcement against marijuana consumers and businesses as a key way to reduce spending by the federal government.
In a letter sent to Musk on Thursday, Warren laid out a series of recommendations for DOGE that she said would translate into upwards of $2 trillion in savings over the next decade. One of those recommendations concerned the federal government’s spending on cannabis enforcement.
“The United States could save hundreds of millions of dollars each year by reducing wasteful spending on unnecessary federal enforcement actions and detention,” Warren wrote. “For example, almost half of states have legalized recreational marijuana, yet federal arrests for marijuana possession account for roughly a quarter of all drug possession arrests, even though federal sentences for marijuana possession are rare.”
The senator also pointed out that “the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] and Customs and Border Patrol [CBP] continue to raid marijuana businesses and seize marijuana plants, including in states where marijuana is legal.”
“These arrests and seizures unnecessarily drain federal resources,” Warren said.
Warren cited reporting from Marijuana Moment and other outlets on DEA’s ongoing cannabis seizures, with the agency reporting that it eradicated more than 5.7 million marijuana plants in 2022, for example.
However, DEA has faced more recent criticism after failing to release updated annual data on marijuana-related arrests and seizures in 2024 as it has done in prior years.
With respect to CBP, the agency recently implored a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit from licensed New Mexico marijuana businesses that claimed the agencies have been unconstitutionally seizing state-regulated marijuana products and detaining industry workers at interior checkpoints.

Trump Orders Declassification of JFK, RFK and MLK Assassination Files
White House
PROVIDING AMERICANS THE TRUTH AFTER SIX DECADES OF SECRECY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order entitled Declassification of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
The Executive Order establishes the policy that, more than 50 years after these assassinations, the victims’ families and the American people deserve the truth.Specifically, the Order directs the Director of National Intelligence and other appropriate officials to:(1) Present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release of all John F. Kennedy assassination records; and(2) Immediately review the records relating to the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations and present a plan for their full and complete release within 45 days.PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ENDING THE ENDLESS DELAYS: In his first term, President Trump ordered agencies to move toward disclosing more information about the John F. Kennedy assassination, and now he is ordering that the work be completed.
The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 required all records related to the assassination be released in 25 years, absent a presidential certification that:Continued postponement is necessary due to an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations; andSuch identifiable harm is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.In October 2017 and April 2018 certifications, President Trump directed agencies to reevaluate redactions and disclose any information that no longer warranted withholding.President Biden delayed disclosure in 2021, 2022, and 2023.In this Order, President Trump finds that continued withholding of the John F. Kennedy records is not in the public interest and is long overdue. He also concludes that releasing the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination records is in the public interest.PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERS ON PROMISE TO RELEASE ASSASSINATION RECORDS: President Trump promised during his campaign to release assassination records to give Americans the truth.
President Trump pledged on multiple occasions to release the JFK files, specifically stating in June 2024 that he would do so “early on.”President Trump: “When I return to the White House, I will declassify and unseal all JFK assassination related documents. It’s been 60 years, time for the American people to know the TRUTH!”[…]

Abu Ghraib on the Potomac
By T.L. Davis
The legal civil war begins in earnest. Since before the beginning of the inauguration the resistance was in action, drawing up legal challenges to every move Trump would make with his Executive Orders. This is not a game, it is war by legal means. The frontline soldiers are the J6 hostages, hostages of the administrative state. Those being held in Abu Ghraib on the Potomac, who have suffered torture and a denial of all rights, elevating simple protesters to a level of insurgents, a narrative that has been collapsing since the start. As more information has come out about FBI assets and disguised Antifa members infiltrating the peaceful crowd to take actions that would elevate the protest into a riot, the narrative shatters, though Schumer and Schiff need it to remain and so will push it every chance they get.
All of this was designed to create the illusion of an insurrection, bringing those protesters, something that is not only tolerated in America, but the right to do so is ensconced in law: “The right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Only through political pressure and design did this right become a crime for MAGA and MAGA alone.
But that’s the hallmark of the past four years: illegality cloaked in the robes of propriety. Now, these dungeon keepers in the DC gulag, Abu Ghraib on the Potomac, are trying to force these prisoners to sign NDAs to keep the abuses they suffered quiet before they are released, as a condition of release. That’s a level of arrogance and outright hubris that is difficult to top. The torturers are so emboldened by the injustice of their abuse that they’re trying to keep the hostages from relating those abuses or be beaten. That won’t help, but it will draw greater scrutiny about what actually happened there in the DC gulag. Also, not happy with not being able to spit on these American heroes, there is a District Attorney, one of Soros’ bought off lackeys in Philadelphia, attempting to bring state charges against the J6ers. This must be brought to a quick and decisive end. The DOJ must bring charges, take over the Capitol Police and do a thorough housecleaning, or it will just further the lawlessness.
At the same time, Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship via Executive Order has been met with lawsuits. To be honest, it should be. An Executive Order, whether issued by Republicans or Democrats, cannot overwrite the constitution. That didn’t stop Biden in the previous administration, leaving the State of Texas to challenge border policies through the courts. Some positive conclusions were drawn by those lawsuits, but it took four years to effect and lost its poignancy. These lawsuits, however, will make the constitution clear on the issue of birthright citizenship.
What we are witnessing is the system turned against the system, the very definition of civil war. The fact that it’s all taking place behind closed doors or in remote corners of the bureaucracy doesn’t lessen the effects or the consequences. These are the first steps; those that begin the long road to either a reinvigorated constitutionality or war. The communists will never give up power willingly. They’ll start with the most liberal activist judges and Soros-funded DAs to push the constitutional conflicts; they’ll use emotional arguments against the clear understanding of the law.
It’s a game of inches right now, when corrupt judges and crooked lawyers try to destroy individual rights with precedent. The Supreme Court cannot be trusted here, either, because the masks are off and the sides are chosen. I expect Roberts and Bryant to side with the communists, they always have on the crucial issues of the day. But that’s the problem with the Supreme Court, it has always ruled with the popular view, even when they were wrong, like Roe v Wade, and it took decades to correct their ridiculous ruling. They believed it was the popular view, what a progressive society wanted. Rarely do they have the guts to rule against the vocal minority, because they know the right will let them dangle rather than vehemently object to their disgraceful acts.
This is where the power of the people comes in, the right has to be much more vociferous than it has ever been. A demonstration of this has been provided by different voices on the right encouraging more demonstrative behavior, people like Bannon, Bongino, Kirk, Pressler and Alex Jones. Rush Limbaugh refused to use his powerful voice to encourage listeners to act, except in very rare instances. Talking heads like Hannity just don’t get it anymore, they want some sort of polite, reasoned conservative interaction with the left and that can no longer exist. This is a fight to the death, not some tea party.
Every court case is going to mean something going forward and the reaction to it will have two sides struggling to get their narrative to be accepted by the people themselves. Even though the right will never be violent like the left, if the laws are followed, the left will suffer a great deal during this period of the overall conflict, because they break the laws, they are violent, they are insurrectionists, they are, in some cases, terrorists. What is the point of being a communist if you can’t be violent insurrectionists? The guards at Abu Ghraib on the Potomac are classic examples of the left’s viciousness and recalcitrance.
Trump and his Department of Justice are going to have to struggle with the optics. Tom Homan is going to have to struggle with the optics, but optics be damned. The law, if it means anything at all, must be upheld regardless of how it looks. The more brutal and unforgiving the enforcers of law seem to be is exactly what must be observed to make an impression that’s necessary to reestablishing the preeminence a law-based society. When some can commit crimes, like shoplifting, without consequence, the whole social contract breaks down. Before long all that is left in these urban areas are looted stores and hulking shells of once beautiful architecture. It works the same way with the entire nation. If one allows the doors to be thrown open, it hollows out the entirety of the nation leaving only rubble and feces. We’ve seen it and now is the time to provide the alternative. That must come with enforcing the law and it must start with Abu Ghraib on the Potomac.

J&J’s ketamine-derived nasal spray approved by FDA to treat depression
By Daniella Genovese, Fox Business
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Johnson & Johnson’s ketamine-derived nasal spray to help millions of U.S. patients suffering from severe depression.
Spravato, approved as a standalone treatment, is “the first and only monotherapy for adults living with major depressive disorder who have had an inadequate response to at least two oral antidepressants,” the pharmaceutical giant said Tuesday.
“Treatment-resistant depression can be very complicated, especially for patients who do not respond to oral antidepressants or cannot tolerate them. For too long, healthcare providers have had few options to offer patients much-needed symptom improvement,” Bill Martin, global therapeutic area head of Neuroscience at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, said in a statement.
Patients could experience improvements in their symptoms as early as 24 hours without the need for daily oral antidepressants.
The approval, granted following FDA priority review, comes after more than a decade of research and almost six years of real-world evidence. As of Tuesday, it has been administered to more than 140,000 patients worldwide.
The drug “has proven to be a transformational treatment option for many patients with TRD by reducing depression symptoms in as little as 24 hours and reducing the time to relapse for patients who stay on treatment,” the company said.
There has been a growing use of using ketamine – described as a “dissociative drug” – to combat depression. It also made headlines due to its use by high-profile figures, including Elon Musk.
In March 2024, the head of Tesla and SpaceX said in an interview that he uses ketamine to boost his mental health.
“There are times when I have sort of… a negative chemical state in my brain, like depression, I guess,” Musk said, adding that he uses a “small amount once every other week.”

Climate Kleptocrats Reeling from Trump Executive Orders
[…]
Woke climate campaigners and profiteers are not having a good day.
Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change, said, “the global clean energy boom – worth US $2 trillion last year alone and rising fast – is the economic growth deal of the decade… embracing it will mean massive profits, millions of manufacturing jobs and clean air.”
Sorry, Simon, you’ll have to shake your trillions down from from Europe, Canada and Australia now.
Wenonah Hauter, executive director of “Food and Water Watch,” said that Trump’s actions will lead to “climate change-supercharged disasters – all falling disproportionately on low-income families and communities of color.”
Sorry, Wenonah, the days of holding “low-income families and communities of color” hostage in the name of climate are drawing to a close. Reality-based energy policy is set to replace politically correct energy boondoggles.
Take a look at the climate, energy, environment and free speech executive orders President Trump signed just hours after taking his oath of office.

Octopus Game Part III – Hidden History
Octopus Game Part III
Press TV (2024)
Film Review
Based on interviews with Palestinian refugees and former Haganah members, this episode begins by focusing on the systematic destruction of Palestinian villages in the months prior to Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948. These massacres occurred in parallel to terrorist attacks in Palestine cities that drove the majority of Palestinians from their homes.
Israeli historians have documented at least 70 separate massacres with numerous Palestinian villages being wiped off the map. Typically Zionist terrorists would invade a village, kill all the military age men and then burn all the homes. The filmmakers interview a Palestinian Christian Archbishop who came across mass graves in his village as a child. Many Palestinian females were sexually assaulted, with those who resisted being slaughtered. In describing their 1948 activities, some Haganah veterans compare their terrorist actions to those of the Nazis under Hitler
The massacres continued following Israeli independence on May 14, 1948, with the three Zionist terrorist groups (Haganah, Irgun and Lehi) consolidating to form the Israel Defense Force. Palestinian Christians and Muslims who survived fled to refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
This episode then fast forwards to events triggered by Hamas’s Al Asqua Flood attack on October 7, 2023. On October 8, Israel began indiscriminately bombing Palestinian civilians, revoked the work permits of all Gaza residents working in Israel and began arresting them as illegal immigrants. According to Israeli historian Ilan Pape, the AoIsraeli historian, Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant declared all Palestinians “animals” and ordered al their food, medicine, water and electricity cut off (a war crime).
In response the Lebanon-based pro-Palestinian militia Hezbollah fired rockets into Israeli-occupied Lebanese territory (with most being shot down by Israel’s Iron Dome* defense system) and European governments organized flights of European Zionists to Israel to assist in the war. Yemen’s Houthi rebels announced they would join the war on the side of the Palestinians if the US re-armed Israel.
*The Iron Dome is an Israeli mobile air defense system, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries and relying on US-supplied rockets. The system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away.

Trump Unveils Legally Complex Plan to Prosecute Fauci for ‘Crimes Against America’
By Baxter Dmitry
The Biden administration pulled every trick in the book this week, knowing full well that when Fauci falls, the entire COVID cabal’s house of cards will come crashing down. But here’s the catch: Fauci’s preemptive pardon? It won’t hold up.
A member of the Trump administration has revealed a legally complex plan that involves stripping Dr. Anthony Fauci of his citizenship and designating him as an enemy combatant—for crimes committed against America in service of the globalist agenda.With new claims emerging that Fauci is directly responsible for over 100 million deaths, these extraordinary measures are said to be a cornerstone of Trump’s mission—not just to “Make America Great Again,” but to restore health, justice, and accountability to the nation.
Just a few short years ago, the global elite were celebrating what they believed to be their so-called “final solution” for humanity—the COVID mRNA vaccine. Their sinister plan? To inject every single person on Earth, again and again, for decades to come.
But the tides have turned. The so-called biggest scientific breakthrough of the last hundred years is now a crime scene and Albert Bourla and Bill Gates are standing trial in the Netherlands for their roles in orchestrating the COVID plandemic.
As for Dr. Anthony Fauci, his situation is even more dire. Despite receiving a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden in the final hours of his presidency—a desperate move to shield him from justice—the Trump administration has made it clear: Fauci will face justice.
Fauci stands accused of being the worst serial killer humanity has ever known, and he admitted in his own emails that he planned the pandemic.
To underscore the horror of it all, consider this: the COVID vaccination campaign is the first in history to increase excess deaths rather than reduce them. This is the legacy they tried to hide, and now, justice is coming.
There is plenty to discuss. Biden’s desperate move to cover up the crimes of his globalist cartel is set to backfire spectacularly.
It’s called the Streisand Effect. The harder you try to silence something, the louder it becomes.
What’s truly staggering is the hypocrisy: the same people who spent millions and months chasing baseless accusations against Trump are now actively blocking efforts to gather evidence or hold anyone accountable for actual crimes that have taken place.
House Oversight Committee Republicans said, “Joe Biden will be remembered for using his last few weeks in office to shield his son from the law and protect himself.”
Rand Paul stepped up his criticism, directly targeting Fauci as the top priority for investigation and prosecution. He dismissed the impact of Biden’s pre-emptive pardon, making it clear that accountability would come first.
“If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic,” Rand Paul said, “Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed.“
According to constitutional law experts, there is neither a moral nor legal precedent for preemptively pardoning individuals for potential crimes that haven’t even been properly investigated.
Even Biden’s own Department of Justice has acknowledged that accepting a pardon is effectively an admission of guilt. By that measure, Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6th committee have just confessed to their crimes.
But let’s be clear: this will not stand. It’s the last, desperate gasp of the crumbling Deep State and their puppet masters—the global elite.
We, the people, have seen through their lies. The strength of this movement has brought forth an administration with a clear and unshakable mandate: to dismantle the global elite and hold them accountable for their crimes against humanity.
Over the years, the modern-day Dr. Mengale has repeatedly slipped up, making a series of shocking admissions that revealed glimpses of his true agenda.
For decades, the elite have been working hand-in-hand with figures like Fauci to introduce infectious agents—and their so-called cures—to the world.
Rest assured, the criminals will face justice. Article II of the Constitution clearly states: “… he (the President) shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
Under the Constitution, a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, an action does not become an “offense” until it has been adjudicated in a court of law.
By this logic, President Biden cannot issue pardons for actions that have not been legally established as crimes. He cannot pardon non-crimes, imagined offenses, or situations where guilt or harm has not been determined in court. To do so would be to usurp the judiciary’s role in determining guilt and accountability.
Trump has made it clear: he will not recognize fraudulent “pardons” and is committed to prosecuting all crimes to the fullest extent of the law.
100 million people plus have died because of the evil Dr. Fauci. The modern-day Josef Mengele lied about everything and destroyed the lives of millions.
Arrest Dr. Fauci. No pardons.

We Got Out of WHO Just in Time
By Michael SnyderIf Donald Trump had not decided to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, we could have had a real nightmare on our hands. The WHO’s “pandemic accord” is scheduled to be finalized by May 2025, and the drafts of that agreement that we have seen so far are extremely alarming. Can you imagine what the WHO will do during the next global pandemic if it possesses much more power and much more authority than it did during the last global pandemic? The truth is that we got out of the WHO just in time, and we should be very thankful for that.
Needless to say, the corporate media is not thrilled by this move at all. The following is the opening paragraph from CNN’s story about Trump’s decision…
President Donald Trump announced Monday he is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization, in a significant move that drew criticism from public health experts on his first day back in the White House.
Buy vitamins and supplements
Of all of the executive orders that Trump signed on Monday, this is one that they have really singled out to complain about.
If you have not read Trump’s executive order yet, you can find it on the official White House website.
This is an absolutely massive blow to the World Health Organization.
The United States was their most important member, and now other nations could be tempted to leave as well.
And that is tremendous news for those of us that love freedom.
For the past couple of years, bureaucrats at the WHO have been working on a “pandemic accord” which would result in sweeping changes. The following description of that agreement comes from the official WHO website…
The pandemic accord is designed to strengthen collaboration and coordination across sectors, and ensure all people—including youth, healthcare professionals, community members, patients, and other members of society—are protected.
If agreed upon, the accord would create incentives and opportunities for greater transparency and collaboration among countries in areas that are key to a global response to pandemic threats. It would also establish means to encourage governments to comply, such as procedures for reporting and accountability.
Ultimately, this “pandemic accord” would grant more power and more authority to the WHO, and it is expected to be finalized by May 2025…
The World Health Organization chief on Tuesday voiced confidence that states could finalise a pandemic agreement by May 2025, despite questions about whether the administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will support it.
The WHO’s 194 member states have been negotiating for two years on an agreement that could increase collaboration before and during pandemics after acknowledged failures during COVID-19.
So what is the bottom line?
The bottom line is that we dodged a bullet, because it appears that the next global pandemic is rapidly approaching.
According to the WHO, the dangerous new strain of the monkeypox continues to spread in three nations in central Africa…
The outbreak of clade Ib monkeypox virus (MPXV) continues predominantly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi and Uganda, with new travel-related cases identified in previously unaffected countries. Recent travel-associated mpox cases highlight the risk of undetected transmission in countries, emphasizing the need for strengthened surveillance and timely reporting to improve global monitoring and prevent international spread.
And travelers continue to carry this new strain home when they return from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi and Uganda…
A new case of the monkeypox strain causing global alarm has been found in the UK, health officials have confirmed.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the patient was found in East Sussex but was now under specialist care at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London.
They said the patient — the sixth UK case of the deadly strain to date — had recently returned to Britain from Uganda where the virus is spreading amongst the population.
Personally, I am even more alarmed about the bird flu.
A strain of H5N1 that recently infected a human in Texas is “more adept at replicating in human cells and causing severe disease in mice” than previous strains…
Researchers at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) have identified a strain of bird flu isolated from a human in Texas that carries a distinctive set of mutations, making it more adept at replicating in human cells and causing severe disease in mice. This strain was compared to one found in dairy cattle, and the findings are detailed in Emerging Microbes & Infections.
The discovery underscores a significant concern about the H5N1 strains of bird flu currently circulating in the U.S.: the virus’s rapid mutation when it infects a new host species.
H5N1, which is naturally present in wild birds and deadly to chickens, has recently spread to a wide range of mammals and, for the first time in the spring of 2024, began infecting dairy cows.
And more confirmed human cases continue to pop up all over the country.
In fact, health authorities in San Francisco have no idea how a child in San Francisco just got infected with H5N1…
A child in San Francisco was recently confirmed to be the third human case of bird flu in the United States in which it’s unclear how the person got infected.
Cases have been spreading across the country since April 2024 with 67 confirmed as of Thursday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Most human cases have occurred after coming into contact with infected cattle, infected poultry farms or other culling operations.
Whether it is the bird flu, monkeypox, or something else, it is just a matter of time before the next great global health scare erupts.
When we reach that point, at least we won’t have the WHO ordering us what to do.
And that is something to be very, very thankful for, because the ability to make our own health decisions is one of our most important freedoms.
