White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Monday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the second, follow-up strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean in September following a bombshell Washington Post report that claimed he ordered the military to “kill everybody.” Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike. “President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated narco-terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting...

Perpetuating false definitions of the earliest stages of life mirrors the dehumanization that enabled Nazi experiments on the ‘subhuman.’The 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials is a powerful moment to reflect on the horrors of unchecked human experimentation during World War II. This milestone reminds us of the atrocities that produced the 1947 Nuremberg Code, a cornerstone of medical ethics emphasizing informed consent, minimal risk, and the prohibition of exploiting vulnerable human beings. The code, a voluntary international guideline, prioritizes the physical and mental safety of all human subjects over any “greater good” for society.Yet, as we reflect on this...

On 5 June 1934, about a year and half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws… That transcript reveals a startling fact: the meeting involved lengthy discussions of the laws of the United States of America. At its very opening, the Minister of Justice presented a memorandum on US race law and, as the meeting progressed, the participants turned to the US example repeatedly. They debated whether they should bring Jim Crow segregation to the Third Reich. They engaged in detailed...

A review of the new film and a look at its public health relevance todayEighty years ago, on November 20, 1945, one of the most unusual and important court trials in history began. The trial was deliberately convened in the bombed out German city of Nuremberg, notorious for huge Nazi party rallies. The new film, "Nuremberg," recounts the trial of Nazi leaders and remains highly relevant for engaging with public health and the politics of today in Germany, the U.S., and many other nations. On Trial in "Nuremberg" A few days after the end of World War II, in May...

Crowe shows us why he’s one of the last great movie stars as well as a brilliant performer, settling into the high-powered character actor phase of his career. Like Gene Hackman in his greatest ’80s and ’90s performances, Crowe has such a regular-guy energy that on those rare occasions when Göring is thwarted or disappointed and we get a glimpse of his capacity for overwhelming violence, it somehow comes as an unsetting surprise within the context of the scene, even though we know the man’s a killer.

The Nuremberg trials have inspired filmmakers before… But for the latest take, “Nuremberg,” writer-director James Vanderbilt focuses on a lesser-known figure: The U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who after the war was assigned to supervise and evaluate captured Nazi leaders to ensure they were fit for trial (and also keep them alive). But his is a name that had been largely forgotten: He wasn’t even a character in the miniseries. Kelley, portrayed in the film by Rami Malek, was an ambitious sort who saw in this assignment an opportunity to write a book (bestselling, he hoped) on his findings about...

A U.S. district judge has allowed the CIA to proceed with firing its top physician, who had previously sought a restraining order against the agency, Politico reported. Last week, the CIA dismissed Dr. Terry Adirim, who had served in a top medical role in the Department of Defense and was known in conservative circles as being the "architect" of the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for military service members. In 2024, Adirim was recruited by the CIA to serve as director of the agency's Center for Global Health Services. Her hiring evoked the ire of Ivan Raiklin, a former Green...

In a significant blow to patient autonomy, informed consent has been quietly revoked just 77 years after it was codified in the Nuremberg Code. On the 21st of December 2023, as we were frantically preparing for the festive season, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act. This allowed …an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject…This ruling went into effect on January...

Scientists may have uncovered what is the largest mass burial site in Europe. The site in Nuremberg, Germany, contains the bodies of at least 1,000 people who died of the bubonic plague, which killed up to 60 per cent of Europe's population. Described as a 'nationally significant' discovery, experts think the bodies were buried at the first half of 17th century following a ruthless wave of the disease. The bubonic plague is spread by the bite of a flea that's been infected with a bacterium called Yersinia pestis. Those afflicted died quickly and horribly following a bout of high fever,...

While Covid-19 has all but disappeared from the national discourse, lawsuits tied to vaccination mandates are hitting courts in North Carolina. Jenna Johlin-Thompson, a former account executive at television station WSFX in Wilmington, is suing the company over her refusal to get vaccinated. Johlin-Thompson, who filed her lawsuit in federal court Nov. 17, relocated to North Carolina from Ohio in 2021 to work at WSFX, which is owned by Charlotte-based American Spirit Media. Within months of her hire, she received an email regarding mandated Covid-19 vaccinations. While she was told to “trust the science,” Johlin-Thompson believed her “body is a...

COVID exposed the murderous ugliness running rampant in the medical industry. The stories will send a chill down your spine. Here's what never happened in the hospital during COVID: a doctor sat down next to a patient and said, "You have a choice. We can give you Remdesivir, which killed 53% of the patients in an Ebola trial. It was so bad the trial had to be shut down. And you'll notice here in Remdesivir's fact sheet, it says, 'Not a lot of people have used Remdesivir. Serious and unexpected side effects may happen.' Or we can give you ivermectin,...

As early as 1941 the Muffi of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al-Husseini -- who (per Edward Said in his 1983 book p. 7, about his status [still] in 1946) represented the consensus of Palestine Arabs and had major backing of parties there -- requested the Axis powers to acknowledge the Arab right "to settle the question of Jewish elements in Palestine and other Arab countries in accordance with the national and racial interests of the Arabs and along lines similar to those used to solve the Jewish question in Germany and Italy." [Fritz Grobba, Manner und Machte im Orient (Zurich, Berlin,...

Hospitals should be places you can trust to provide comfort and healing when you’re most vulnerable. But that trust may have been shattered by brutal Covid protocols that critics claim turned many hospitals into hellscapes of systematic medical murder. The victims’ stories have been muffled by the mainstream media, but they’re starting to break through. For one thing, lawsuits against three hospitals have been filed in California by 14 bereaved families who claim their loved ones were killed by a deadly protocol. .. American Frontline Nurses are collecting and documenting stories from bereaved families about what happened to their loved...

Last remaining Nuremberg prosecutor dies at 103 Benjamin Ferencz, the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, dies of natural causes in Florida.The last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who secured guilty verdicts from 22 Nazis and dedicated his life to fighting international injustice, has died at age 103, his son told AFP on Saturday. Benjamin Ferencz, an American who at age 27 and with no prior trial experience served as one of the trials' chief prosecutors, would go on to later battle for compensation and the return of stolen goods to victims and survivors of the Holocaust. He...

Spencer already took a katana to the insane speech Joe Biden delivered last night in Philadelphia. As Joe Biden said, he was standing on hallowed ground, referencing Independence Hall. Still, his speech was a contradictory and incomprehensible mess that could only come from a man riddled with dementia and long COVID. It was a silly speech where he declared anyone who disagreed with him enemies of the state, specifically MAGA Republicans. Yes, the people who want a smaller government, fewer taxes, better trade deals, more freedom, a secure border, and job creation are quasi-Nazis. The Americans against having their kids...

Bret Weinstein 6 minute video commentary on what Nuremberg taught us and how the future needs frank, honest debates.

: ...a great many of our active supporters are health care consumers and health care providers who want to make informed health care choices, including vaccination choices, for themselves and their children. Many parents, who support our work, are not philosophically opposed to the concept of vaccination and do not object to every vaccine. However, they are philosophically opposed to government health officials having the power to intimidate, threaten, and coerce them into violating their deeply held conscientious beliefs in the event they conclude that either vaccination in general or, more commonly, a particular vaccine is not appropriate for their...

The American government is extremely unlikely to do it. But there may be another entity that will. It is a safe assumption that few Americans know about the December 6, 2021 filing with the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing 16 high-ranking individuals of genocide and other related crimes against humanity due to their actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ICC filing is on behalf of the people of the United Kingdom (U.K.) who have suffered nearly 160,000 COVID-19 deaths and serious adverse reactions to mandated experimental vaccines. Among the accused 16 individuals are Dr. Anthony Fauci; Dr. Peter Daszak; Bill...

Canadian-born Diane Bederman called Trudeau a 'sanctimonious, self-serving, self-righteous, inept, unethical, immoral, and corrupt man, who can now add evil to the list.' Canadian-born Jewish author Diane Bederman blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as an “immoral” and “evil man” for the leader’s targeting of the vaccine free, saying the lessons learned from the Nuremberg Trials have been forgotten. “Here we are in 2022 and our leaders are scapegoating the non-vaccinated, blaming them for the continuation of the pandemic. Like other evil leaders, they divide rather than unite,” Bederman wrote in an January 10 opinion piece titled “Is Comparing Covid Policies...
