Brazil's greatest living scientist is unanimously acquitted by medical councils


Dr Flavio Cadegiani has simply found the world's most effective treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, yet he has been accused of everything, even killing patients.

Earlier this month, the Regional Council of Medicine of the State of Amazonas (CREMAM) unanimously acquitted Dr. Flavio Cadegiani, physician, scientist and lead author of research on proxalutamide to treat COVID-19. The northern arm of the study took place in six cities in the Amazon. All charges were dropped after the doctor's innocence was proven.

One of the allegations was that Dr. Cadegiani, along with other authors of the study, had not complied with the Code of Medical Ethics, more specifically Article 109, which says: “Failing to ensure, when teaching or authoring scientific publications, the veracity, clarity and impartiality of the information presented” .

Another accusation alleged that the disclosure of research results with proxalutamide would have been done in a sensationalist, promotional way or containing untrue information during a press conference. However, Dr. Danielle Monteiro Fonseca da Silva, reporting counsel for the process, stated in her vote that several similar actions were observed during the serious pandemic crisis, such as the disclosure of national vaccines and medicines without authorization from the competent bodies. The decision of Dr. Silva was followed by the other counselors who participated in the trial.

In another aspect, also involved in the judgment, was the accusation coming from CONEP – National Commission for Ethics in Research, that the research could not have taken place in Manaus, but only in Brasília. But the complaint was not valid. “It became clear to everyone throughout the trial that such an accusation had absolutely no foundation,” explained Cadegiani.

The rapporteur voted for the innocence of Dr Cadegiani. “It proved in the records that it has no connection with the pharmaceutical industry, nor did it disclose untrue information, showing only the encouraging results of the research”, she said in her vote.
Before he was acquitted in Rio Grande do Sul

Research with proxalutamide was carried out in two Brazilian states, Amazonas and Rio Grande do Sul. In Rio Grande do Sul, the complaints were judged by CREMERS – Regional Council of Medicine of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in response to the complaints presented by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the RS.

At the conclusion of the investigation, which took place in October last year, the judges highlighted that the study complied with all the necessary technical and bureaucratic approvals. In addition, they wrote: “The extremely encouraging results presented by proxalutamide stand out, revealing statistically significant effects in reducing the lung damage caused by COVID, even in the short period of treatment and also because there was no harm to the patients tested by the drug”.

“They wanted to know everything that happened, and in the end, they noticed that there was no room for any doubt”, said Cadegiani. “Having the truth in my favor gave me a lot of peace of mind when dealing with serious bodies, truly independent, impartial, and, consequently, fair”.

The peer-reviewed and published study with Proxalutamide involved 778 hospitalized severe COVID patients from Amazonas and Rio Grande do Sul. 
The reduction in deaths observed was 78%.

Proxalutamide: 45 of 423 (10.6%) died.
Placebo: 171 of 355 (48.2%) died.
Study praised in the world
In Brazil, the study was mercilessly attacked by the press, which generated a wave of complaints in medical councils. However, abroad, in the most renowned scientific institutions in the world, the high quality of the study was attested.

At Canada's McMaster University, the birthplace of Evidence-Based Medicine, the study was rated one of the highest marks among all COVID drug studies. The same happened with...

Christians Continue to be Purged: Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day


The evidence is overwhelming.

"Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands..." — Aurora Mardiganian, Ravished Armenia.

Often overlooked... is that this was less a genocide of Armenians and more a genocide of Christians. Thus the opening sentence of U.S. House Resolution 296, which passed on the hundredth anniversary of the genocide (2019), correctly mentions "the campaign of genocide against Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Arameans, Maronites, and other Christians."

Christianity is what all of those otherwise diverse peoples had in common, and therefore it — not nationality, ethnicity, territory, or grievances — was the ultimate determining factor concerning who the Turks would and would not "purge."

"Christians were considered infidels (kafir). The call to Jihad... was part of the plan." — Joseph Yacoub, author of Year of the Sword: The Assyrian Christian Genocide

An eyewitness recalled that... "outrages" [were] committed against "even children"....


"The opportunity [World War I] presented itself for clearing Turkish soil of a Christian race." — Winston Churchill.

"Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.... The question is settled. There are no more Armenians." — Talaat Pasha, the de facto leader of the Ottoman Empire during the genocide, June 1915.

Turkey, in 2020, sent sharia-enforcing "jihadist groups," from Syria and Libya.... These Muslim groups committed numerous atrocities. These included raping an Armenian female soldier and mother of three, before hacking off all four of her limbs, gouging her eyes, and sticking one of her severed fingers inside her private parts. — Greek City Times, September 25, 2020.

Not only has it gone unpunished; NATO ally Turkey has resumed the genocide against the very descendants of those whom the Turks nearly exterminated over a century ago — namely Armenians and Assyrians.

More recently, in late 2022, Turkey launched thousands of attacks — air, mortar, drone, artillery, etc.—several miles deep into Syria's northern border. This is, of course, where most of the religious minorities live — Christians, Yazidis, and Kurds, who a few years earlier experienced a genocide at the hands of the Islamic State ("ISIS").

"These military attacks by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's regime are part of a wider Turkish policy of annihilation of the Kurdish and Assyrian [Christian] people in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including bombing, shelling, abduction, torture, and extrajudicial killings. The attacks are part of Turkey's genocidal policies towards Kurds, Christians, and Ezidis." — Genocide Watch, December 7, 2022.

"This genocide is a pattern we see, and it's certainly nothing new.... For those who say 'Not on our watch!' or 'Never again!'— here it is, happening again!" — Charmaine Hedding, president of the US-based Shai Fund, webinar on Turkey's genocidal assault on Christians in Syria, rumble.com, December 15, 2022.

Not only has the Armenian genocide gone unpunished; NATO ally Turkey has resumed the genocide against the very descendants of those whom the Turks nearly exterminated over a century ago — Armenians and Assyrians.

Tucker Carlson: ‘Information Control’ Via Internet Censorship Is A Huge Problem For Democracy


Tucker Carlson told attendees at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th-anniversary gala that the biggest variable changing everyday Americans’ lives in recent years is the ruling class’ monopoly on information.

“What do you think over the last 10 or 20 years — whatever timeline you think is appropriate —has changed the most?” Roberts asked. “I mean that socially and culturally, I don’t mean that politically, although you can go there if you want, that has affected everyday Americans’ lives?”

“The lack of information,” Carlson quickly replied.



Despite living in a digital world where data and details are available to everyone with access to the internet, Carlson said normal Americans’ access to the information pipeline is significantly hampered.

“The core promise of the internet was as much information as we’ve ever had at your fingertips, and the result has been a centralization of information. This is deliberate, needless to say, but unnoticed by most people. That results in more controlled information than we could even have imagined more than 20 years ago,” he said. “A lot of information just is not available because it’s digital and it’s controlled by a small number of companies.”

Carlson said “hundreds of millions” of Americans “have no idea what’s going on” because the ruling class does not want them to know the facts.

“It’s not just because they’re dumb or they’re distracted on their iPhones. The whole point of the iPhone was to inform you, and the net effect has been to make people completely ignorant of the core, the actual facts, like the non-disputed facts about a lot of different things. And you saw this, certainly, during covid,” Carlson remarked.

Keeping Americans clueless, Carlson said, is advantageous to those who control information pipelines because it “challenges the idea of democracy, which rests on the notion of an informed voting public, of a citizenry.”

“We don’t have that, and that really, I never would have expected that at all,” Carlson said.

Next, Carlson warned listeners not to throw away hardcopy books and to consider buying “gold and ammo.”

“Definitely don’t throw away your books because they can’t be disappeared, because they exist physically,” Carlson repeated.

Similarly, Carlson said Americans should be keen not to throw away “relationships with other people because they can’t be...
