Before the sounds of the swinging sixties broke into the mainstream, the more individualistic youth of England’s capital city danced all night to the sounds of American jazz and soul music. Dark nightclubs and backstreet jazz bars saw an influx of sharply dressed youngsters, arriving on Italian scooters, hopped up on amphetamines, all hoping to hear the latest sounds emanating from the States. For many of them, it was the music of Jimmy Smith that they were desperate to hear. Smith was instrumental in the development of the mod subculture, with his albums on regular rotation in clubs like The...

David Sacks blasts USAID for using American taxpayers to fund left-wing organizations and policies around the world.. We're in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them." "New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID." "In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded...

A Texas children’s hospital is refusing to both treat and discharge a young boy in dire need of a new, unvaccinated kidney, despite the fact that he has a matching and qualified donor standing by ready and willing to donate her own kidney – the boy’s mother. Exclusive audio and phone call recordings obtained by National File confirm that Doctors at Medical City Hospital in Dallas refused to disclose the Covid vaccination status of the deceased donor of a previous kidney doctors attempted to transplant. That transplant attempt failed catastrophically, ending with rapid clotting taking over large portions of the...

It’s every tomophobians’ worst nightmare.

When human rights lawyer David Matas put himself on Beijing’s radar by investigating the regime’s systematic killing of prisoners of conscience for their organs, suspicious events began happening around him.Organizers who scheduled him to discuss the topic canceled at the last minute. Booked forum sites backed out with little explanation. A day before hosting him for a forum, one venue was the target of a drive-by shooting that left a bullet hole in the window.During a separate live Q&A session, a man called in, identifying himself as a Chinese government police official.“Are you afraid of death? You are brutally interfering...

Opinion The scientific community celebrated April 14 as World Quantum Day to raise awareness of quantum science’s impact across diverse fields The world of science is on the cusp of a transformative era driven by the burgeoning field of quantum technology. Quantum science is founded on several key principles that underpin the behaviour of particles and systems at the quantum scale. The term “quantum scale” refers to the realm of physics that deals with phenomena occurring at very small scales, typically at the level of atoms, subatomic particles and fundamental particles. It encompasses the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern...

In 2020, a quasi-governmental nonprofit that runs American transplant centers created a new formula to assess kidney function, ignoring scientifically determined body composition differences. Now nonblacks are being moved to the back of the transplant line. This week, Professor Jacobson discussed Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI) crisis within the nation’s medical schools with Sandy Rios of American Family Radio, for her Sandy Rios 24/7 podcast. And what we found is that CRT/DEI, whatever you want to call it, I call it the racialization of education, is deeply permeated throughout medical schools. And in some ways, it’s worse in medical schools than in higher...

Deep underground, encased by the rolling hills of North Virginia, lies a subterranean paradise and musical marvel. The Luray Caverns boast the most extensive cave system in the eastern United States, but for the millions of visitors who flock there each year, it’s not just the beautiful rock formations that reel them in. These natural walls also house the eerie vibrations that emanate from the world’s largest musical instrument. Locked away, deep in the labyrinthine passages of the Luray Caverns, is The Great Stalacpipe Organ. This instrument is a natural wonder that brings a new meaning to “rock music”. The...

You are not your brain, and brain death does not equal death. Protect yourself from a false “brain death” diagnosis by refusing to be a registered organ donor. But this is not enough. The 2006 update to the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA) now mandates that if a person has no documented refusal to donate (and the family cannot be contacted) the coroner, medical examiner, or hospital administrator can donate your body or organs on your behalf. By documenting your refusal to donate in your advanced directive and electronic medical record and by carrying a “refusal to donate” wallet card,...

Democrat state legislators in New York are reviewing legislation that would have sought-after kidney transplants rewarded to illegal aliens ahead of thousands of Americans who are waiting for such donations. According to the New York Times, Democrat legislators in New York are considering the plan to open organ transplants, specifically kidney transplants, to illegal aliens. Such transplants are typically reserved for Americans with Social Security Numbers (SSNs).

The number of organ donations and organ transplants goes up markedly during large motorcycle rallies, according to a newly published analysis led by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.The research, which appears Nov. 28 in JAMA Internal Medicine, shows that in the regions where the seven largest motorcycle rallies were held throughout the United States between 2005 and 2021, there were 21 percent more organ donors per day, on average, and 26 percent more transplant recipients per day, on average, during these events, compared with days just before and after the rallies.Large-scale motorcycle rallies attract hundreds of...

There are few pipe organs in the world that have a nickname, a feminine pronoun and a Facebook fan page. The Hazel Wright organ — just “Hazel,” to her admirers — was removed piece by piece in 2013 from Christ Cathedral’s shimmering sanctuary in Southern California’s Orange County, and shipped to Italy for repair. At the time, the fifth-largest pipe organ in the world was suffering from an infestation of bugs. Its pipes were melted, its trumpets corroded. Nearly a decade and $3 million later, Hazel is back in the fully remodeled sanctuary, and heavenly chords from her pipes once...

Joe Oltmann: Now they want to murder people for not getting the vaccine. I think you need to share this and let them know what you think ... respectfully. 222 comments

A Colorado-based health system says it is denying organ transplants to patients not vaccinated against the coronavirus in “almost all situations,” citing studies that show these patients are much more likely to die if they get covid-19. The policy illustrates the growing costs of being unvaccinated and wades into deeply controversial territory — the use of immunization status to decide who gets limited medical care. The mere idea of prioritizing the vaccinated for rationed health resources has drawn intense backlash, as overwhelmingly unvaccinated covid-19 patients push some hospitals to adopt “crisis standards of care,” in which health systems can prioritize...

The first is three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, which uses “bio-ink,” a printable material made from a patient’s own cells, to print layer upon layer, creating tissue that will not be rejected by the recipient. But in progressing from tissue to a complex organ, one critical challenge has been how to get blood to flow to keep the cells alive, and researchers have devised a number of approaches to this. They include threading tiny channels through the organ, where blood vessels develop when implanted in animals, or seeding channels with the endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels. A second...

To some lovers of classical sounds, organ music seems irremediably goyish, despite outstanding achievements by such Jewish composers as Aaron Copland and Arnold Schoenberg in writing for the so-called “king of instruments.” For these, “The Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture,” recently published in paperback, will be a real ear-opener. Its author, musicologist Tina Frühauf, notes that “until the Middle Ages, the organ was not officially permitted in any Christian liturgy inasmuch as instrumental music was associated… with the Jewish services once held in the temple at Jerusalem.”Even after organs appeared in churches and became taboo for synagogues, there...

Full title:"NATURAL NEWS: RELATIVE OF SHANGHAI-BASED DOCTOR REVEALS DETAILS ABOUT CHINA’S LIVE ORGAN HARVESTING PROGRAM"He prodded his sister-in-law Zhou Yu for more details on what she knew about her elder sister’s work. She told the whistleblower that people who were not sedated “would scream with all their might in sheer agony” when Qing performed the organ removal surgery. “[Yu] said anesthesia cannot be used in every place: The area where [the organ] is needed cannot be anesthetized,” Lu remarked. “The fresher and the less anesthetized, the better. The quality is guaranteed, you can rest assured,” Lu recounted his sister-in law’s...

Extremely disturbing content at the video link. I'll put the first minute of the audi transcript below. This researcher's information was presented in prior video and there was such public outcry, this had to be false etc., that the video channel excerpted the interview between Robert Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Theresa Deisher and presented background information to substantiate the prior video. Warning - it's so very disturbing. It really reads like a medical-ized practice of sacrificing babies to Satan. SICK.   00:01           Yeah, you know what's really alarming is 00:06           that lack of outcry over human babies...

The United Nations Human Rights Council and U.N. member states have been told that they have a “legal obligation” to confront China over its practice of forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong adherents. Addressing the council in Geneva on Sept. 24, London-based lawyer Hamid Sabi presented the findings from a report released in June by the China Tribunal, or the Independent Tribunal Into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience in China. The tribunal, chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who previously led the prosecution of former Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic at the International Criminal Tribunal, concluded beyond reasonable doubt...
