Civil War gold, FBI shenanigans, treasure hunters…not your typical Western PA news story apnews.com/article/techno…
The FBI “art crime” team “needed a seizure warrant because [they] feared that if the federal government sought permission from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources to excavate the site, the state would claim the gold for itself” apnews.com/article/pennsy…
Is “finders keepers” an accurate statement of the law in Pennsylvania? It depends patch.com/pennsylvania/h…
The treasure hunters attorney says that his clients are entitled to a cut. “They had 50 agents there…We have witnesses that they were there all night with armored cars. So, what are we supposed to believe? We are convinced that they found gold.” pennlive.com/news/2021/01/d…

When governments ignore the pleas of epidemiologists, virologists & decide that the correct approach to the #SARSCoV2 pandemic is “let ‘er rip,” they are consigning huge swaths of society to early death or life long disability. #COVID19
The “let ‘er rip” or “herd immunity” perspective originated from the American Institute for Economic Research sponsored private retreat (October 2020) where three scientists/physicians with Ivy League pedigrees composed the now infamous Great Barrington Declaration
The Great Barrington Declaration called for “herd immunity,” argued against lockdowns, & suggested that young, healthy people have little to worry about.

Politicians & pundits wove a web of misinformation using these ideas that continues to deceive. Why?

Calls for #ReparationsNow should absolutely be taken seriously, not only in the United States but also in England. Any serious historian knows that both societies were built on the backs of enslaved people
Want to see a present day heir living large on the proceeds of the labor of enslaved people? Look no further than current Tory MP Richard Drax somersetlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-…
“Bristol-based historian David Olusoga said: “From the very early stages of the family’s involvement in slavery and the sugar trade, the Drax dynasty were able to generate extraordinary wealth through the cultivation of sugar grown by enslaved Africans.”

The US is hiking Medicare premiums due to the $56,000/year price of Biogen’s new Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm HT ⁦@JenD1974⁩ cnn.com/2021/11/12/hea…
Given the drastic step of hiking Medicare premiums to cover that huge cost, you would think that Aduhelm showed definitive promise for combating the terrible effects of Alzheimer’s disease, right?
Harvard Medical School Professor Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, an expert on pharmaceuticals that address diseases of the brain, & 2 other members of the FDA advisory committee resigned in protest after after the agency approved Aduhelm cnn.com/2021/09/26/pol…

The REAL reason the US is on a crusade against Huawei
As the US outsources its military 5G network to the bloated defense industry, pay close attention to all of the hypocrisy — US government & corporations working in tandem to snuff out competition
I have no quarrel with competition on a level playing field. That’s not what’s happening here. The US is guilty of protectionism largely to protect behemoth domestic corporations whose products are inferior https://t.co/jOyBUuWuLV

Ever wonder how ‘corporate personhood’ happened? Obviously corporations are NOT actually people — but US law seems to bend over backwards to grant these inanimate entities many of the same rights that should logically be reserved for living, breathing human beings
It all began with a pair of former legislators turned Gilded Age railroad lawyers, a poison pill buried in the 14th Amendment, & a brazen fraud upon the Supreme Court
“In The Rise of American Civilization,” Charles & Mary Beard suggested that the rise of corporations on the American landscape was the result of a grand conspiracy that reached from the boardrooms of the nation's railroads all the way to the Supreme Court” thomhartmann.com/unequal-protec…

“The unprecedented application of Title 42 against asylum-seekers was seen by many public health experts and human rights organizations as having nothing to do with public health and everything to do with anti-Latinx racism.” On immigration, Biden = Trump theintercept.com/2021/03/24/asy…
The “immigration crisis” didn’t fall out of the clear blue sky. This. Is. Blowback. thenation.com/article/archiv…
