Former Pro Calls For “Investigation” After Another Football Player Suddenly Collapses

‘How many more?’

A former professional Premier League footballer has called for an investigation after yet another player suddenly collapsed in the middle of a match last night.

Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck fell to the ground during his team’s game at Reading and had to be taken off on a stretcher after receiving lengthy treatment and being given an oxygen mask.

The 30-year-old Scottish international “went down unchallenged before team-mates quickly waved medics on,” reports BBC News.

Fleck was taken to hospital where he is said to be in good condition.

The player becomes yet another unfortunate addition to a lengthy list of footballers and other top athletes who have suddenly collapsed on the field of play in recent months.

As we previously highlighted, major German newspaper Berliner Zeitung recently published a report seeking to answer why an “unusually large number of professional and amateur soccer players have collapsed recently.”

The article listed a large number of recent cases of footballers who have had heart problems or collapsed on the field, in some cases leading to death.

That list includes Barcelona’s Sergio Aguero, who suffered breathing difficulties during Barca’s LaLiga clash with Alaves last month. Although the club have denied rumors Aguero is set to retire, he will definitely be out of action for months.

Other professional athletes have also recently suffered similar health problems, including...

Evil minds that plot destruction

Sorcerer of death's construction

In the fields the bodies burning

As the war machine keeps turning

Death and hatred to Mankind

Poisoning their brainwashed minds...

Oh Lord yeah!

NIH Chief Wants Online ‘Misinformation’ Spreaders ‘Brought to Justice'

Violating a fundamental right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

With secret police chief Merrick Garland siccing the FBI on parents at school board meetings and the social media giants continuing to cut the ground out from under dissenting voices, the Biden administration has not exactly provided a welcoming place for the freedom of speech. However, Francis Collins, the outgoing director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), thinks there is still altogether too much of it. Collins wants those who are spreading “misinformation” to be “brought to justice,” and pronto.

It’s disconcerting to see an official of the United States government (the NIH is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services) coming out so openly against a fundamental right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and hallowed by over two centuries of precedent, but as far as Collins is concerned, the need to curtail the freedom of speech is urgent. He said Friday, “Conspiracies are winning here. Truth is losing. That’s a really serious indictment of the way in which our society seems to be traveling.”

Collins was referring to what he said was misinformation about America’s doctor, Anthony Fauci. According to The Washington Post, Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) wasn’t really funding experiments involving the gratuitous torture of puppies. The Post admitted that “NIAID was initially listed as a funder on the study in a paper in a scientific journal in late July,” but claimed that “the researchers and the medical journal corrected the error.”

Collins was indignant over the fact that people still believed Fauci was involved in the puppy torture, fuming: “Truth is supposed to be truth, and the fact that your truth would be so heavily modified by your social circle or where you get your news tells you we’re in real trouble.”

All right. Maybe Fauci is as kind to dogs as that renowned animal lover, Adolf Hitler, was. Maybe. But if NIAID did not fund the experiments, why was it listed as doing so in the first place? Was the NIAID removed from the list of funders only when the experiments started to receive unwelcome media attention? When Fauci has contradicted himself numerous times about the usefulness of wearing masks and not even followed his own recommendations, would it really be wise to accept at face value everything that the NIH and other agencies claim is true?

That’s what Francis Collins wants, and more: he wants those who contradict his wisdom to be punished. He finds it appalling that “somebody’s Facebook post carries as much weight as a statement from the director of the CDC about what is the truth of a public health crisis.” The Post lamented the alleged fact that “the rapid-fire spread of misinformation has altered public opinion of the pandemic and coronavirus vaccines,” and claimed that “some 6 in 10 Americans say they either believe the government is exaggerating the number of deaths from the virus or aren’t sure. Nearly 1 in 4 Americans believe covid-19 shots contain microchips or don’t know if the claim is true.”

There is ample reason for this widespread distrust: the government has so often proven itself to be untrustworthy. Most notoriously, Collins and Fauci themselves were caught lying about the NIH funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab where the COVID-19 virus originated. And then there has been all the stonewalling about the side effects of the COVID vaccines. As PJ Media’s Stacey Lennox noted in September, “The FDA already states that the highest risk for pericarditis and myocarditis following the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is in young men between the ages of 12 and 17. There is no information about long-term risks associated with a young man suffering from heart disease following vaccination, yet schools and colleges are moving to mandate them. It is a complete inversion of what Western societies have...

The American people and Rosanne Boyland’s family deserve the truth—not more stonewalling and cover-ups by House Democrats, the D.C. coroner, and the D.C.-based police departments.

The family of Rosanne Boyland, one of two female Trump supporters who died at the Capitol on January 6, just announced they have hired a lawyer to investigate the suspicious circumstances of her untimely death. Boyland, 34, traveled with her friend Justin Winchell from Georgia to Washington to hear President Trump’s speech.

The pair then walked from the Ellipse to Capitol Hill; a photo published in a local Georgia newspaper shows Boyland smiling, wearing Old Glory sunglasses and carrying a “Don’t Tread on Me” flag that day.

A few hours later, she was dead.

In April, the D.C. Medical Examiner’s office claimed Boyland died of “accidental acute amphetamine intoxication.” Boyland reportedly used Adderall, a drug commonly used to treat attention deficit disorders that contains amphetamines. Fatal Adderall overdoses are rare; Boyland would have had to ingest roughly 25 times her standard dose to die from it.

Aside from the unlikelihood Boyland overdosed on her daily medicine while actively participating in a day-long political rally, recently released footage and firsthand accounts contradict the coroner’s report. “There are still many questions about exactly what happened to her,” Rosanne’s aunt, Cheryl Boyland, wrote in a GiveSendGo post.

Videos show her being beaten by a female officer after being crushed by protesters pushed by police. Yet the D.C. Medical Examiner said Rosanne’s body showed no signs of trauma, and attributed her death to the prescription medication she took every day for years. According to videos and statements, Rosanne was dragged unconscious through the west tunnel by the police at 4:31 PM. Then she was taken to the crypt and to the House Majority Leader’s office before EMTs arrived at 5:45 PM, finding her inside the rotunda being given CPR by Capitol police.

Further, both the Medical Examiner’s office and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department continue to refuse to release pertinent information related to her death. Boyland’s mother told the Gateway Pundit that the coroner is withholding her full autopsy report; D.C. police have denied numerous requests for body-worn camera footage, claiming the recordings are part of an “ongoing investigation and criminal proceeding.”

As I reported last week, a new court filing details a shocking account of police brutality inside the lower west terrace tunnel on January 6 where Boyland died. Dozens of police officers clad in full riot gear were stationed there, ostensibly to stop protesters from entering the building. But emerging evidence suggests a more nefarious purpose—officers used the tunnel as a bunker of sorts to launch a gruesome offensive against American citizens on federal property.

In any other situation, the behavior of law enforcement throughout that afternoon, which is now documented, would result in nonstop news coverage, protests, and demands for criminal investigations. Since the victims are Trump supporters, or at least people who protested the unlawful election of Joe Biden, the misconduct instead is buried by the media and covered up by Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 select committee.

For months, the Justice Department has kept under seal at least 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured by Capitol security cameras on January 6. Merrick Garland’s office successfully argued in court that the recordings are “highly sensitive” government material and every clip used as evidence in Capitol cases is concealed by a protective order. Discovery has been intentionally delayed to prevent defendants and their lawyers from seeing the secret footage.

Time, however, is running out for Garland’s prosecutors. Joseph McBride, the attorney representing defendant Ryan Nichols, recently viewed three hours of surveillance video recorded by security cameras inside the tunnel. What McBride describes in his filing based on that footage is a sustained and brutal assault by police officers against Capitol protesters, something his client, a Marine and longtime rescue volunteer, attempted to stop.

One officer in particular, a D.C. Metro police supervisor referred to as “white shirt” in McBride’s motion, repeatedly beat protesters with a baton and his fist. “White-shirt beats the woman with his baton striking her eight times in six seconds,” the footage video shows, according to McBride. “White-shirt punches the woman in the face, with his left-hand, landing five punches in five seconds, with all of his might. Another officer joins in and starts beating the woman in the head with his baton, landing twelve strikes in seven seconds.” (It does not appear that the woman in this account is Rosanne Boyland.)

Brad Geyer, the lawyer defending Kenneth Harrelson in the Oath Keepers case, verified McBride’s account.

“The supervisor (we call him “white shirt”) takes his baton and starts spearing the woman in the eye with it,” Geyer wrote on Twitter. “Jamming her with full force in the face. She turns her head and he jams the back of her head and ear. He then is punching her in the face. She is literally being beaten in a sick, sadistic manner that frankly shocked me as someone who was in [law enforcement] for 21 years.”

(Both Harrelson and Nichols are incarcerated in the D.C. jail under pretrial detention orders)

Outside the tunnel, around the same time, Boyland’s lifeless body was lying on the ground while her friend screamed for help. “She’s dead! She’s dead!” Winchell cried. McBride explains what happened next. “Roseanne (sic) Boyland’s body is dragged into the tunnel at 4:30 p.m., and is never seen again.”

Her body, however, was seen after that point by at least two men: Capitol police officers Aquilino Gonell and Harry Dunn.

Both officers, along with D.C. Metro officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges, testified at the first hearing of the January 6 select committee in July. Gonell tearfully told the committee about the “vicious and relentless” attacks by protesters.

But Gonell largely ignored his own role in the violence, only briefly explaining that he kicked and punched “rioters” including hitting one with his baton; Gonell admitted he was at the front of the tunnel for most of the afternoon.

He then offered just one sentence on what he did with Boyland’s body: “[It] was not until around 4:26 pm, after giving CPR to one of the rioters who breached the Capitol in an effort to save her life, that I finally had a chance to let my own family know that I was alive.”

After dragging Boyland’s body through the tunnel, Gonell met up with Officer Dunn. “In the Crypt, I encountered Sergeant Gonell, who was giving assistance to an unconscious woman who had been in the crowd of rioters on the west side of the Capitol. I helped to carry her to the House Majority Leader’s office, where she was administered CPR,” Dunn testified in July.

Paramedics arrived and took Boyland to a local hospital. She was pronounced dead shortly after 6 p.m.

Despite their alarming testimony, no one on the January 6 committee bothered to ask either officer who the woman was or what happened to her. Neither Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) nor Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) nor Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the alleged January 6 “truth seekers,” asked Gonell or Dunn how the woman ended up in Steny Hoyer’s office. Or whether she was already...
