Doctors go to Washington about hydroxychloroqine and COVID-19. Censorship follows.

By Robert Willmann

Today, 28 July, a story popped up that some doctors had a little press event about the SARS-CoV-2 virus in front of the Supreme Court building yesterday in Washington D.C., introduced by Congressman Ralph Norman (Repub., South Carolina), but now the Internet websites called Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have removed the video.  The "main stream media" did not seem to be there.  By the time Facebook censored the video, it had received over 17 million views.  A group of medical doctors called America's Frontline Doctors participated in the event, and had a conference scheduled for yesterday that would end today.  The Tea Party Patriots organization helped to sponsor the events.

Dr. Simone Gold organized the doctors.  She received a medical degree in 1989 from Rosalind Franklin University, the Chicago Medical School, and has a law degree, but she does not appear to have a law license in California.  She practices emergency medicine in Los Angeles, California.  The little event had been on the vimeo.com video website earlier today, but then was removed [1].  The America's Frontline Doctors website was available this morning, but after a while today it said:  "Website Expired.  This account has expired. If you are the site owner, click below to login" [2].  

Dr. Gold said that hydroxychloroquine can be purchased over the counter in Indonesia and Iran!

The breitbart.com website has its its own video, which is still available, and it is about 44 minutes long.  During the event, a study from 2005 on chloroquine was mentioned, which is entited, "Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread".  SARS is said to be a worse virus than SARS-CoV-2.  The study is on the National Insitututes of Health website--

The program the group had scheduled for yesterday and today included presentations indoors.  Two of them as videos were on the YouTube section for the Tea Party Patriots earlier this afternoon, but one is now gone:  "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's community guidelines" [3].  The remaining one is about 3 hours, 11 minutes, and the audio is out until 4 minutes, 53 seconds into the video. It was still available as of 5:52 p.m., central time--

This morning, the CNN network followed the censorship with its own misdirection, starting out by saying: "A video featuring a group of doctors making false and dubious claims related to the coronavirus was removed by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube after going viral online Monday" [4].

Robert C. O'Brien is appointed to be the new National Security Advisor

By Robert Willmann

President Trump appointed Robert C. O'Brien to be the new National Security Advisor.  He is presently the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the U.S. Department of State--

https://www.state.gov/biographies/robert-c-obrien/

Here is some initial material about him.  He has been associated with Mitt Romney and John Bolton for quite a while, and is a Mormon.  He is a lawyer operating primarily out of California in a firm called Larson O'Brien--

https://www.larsonobrienlaw.com/attorney-detail/robert-c-o-brien

Apparently he and Hugh Hewitt, who appears some on television and radio, moved from one law firm to the present one.  Hewitt seems to no longer be in that firm.  But their association has led to interviews of O'Brien by Hewitt. 

O'Brien was a foreign policy advisor to Mitt Romney both times he ran for president.  Other people such as Michael Hayden and Michael Chertoff were also unfortunately advising Romney in 2012.  O'Brien was said to be a foreign policy advisor to Scott Walker and Senator Ted Cruz during the 2016 presidential campaign.  This transcript is from 23 August 2012--

https://www.hughhewitt.com/romney-senior-foreign-policy-advisor-robert-c-obrien/

In 2016 O'Brien wrote a book entitled "While America Slept, Restoring American Leadership to a World in Crisis", published by Encounter Books.  He did around a 12-minute interview on 15 September 2016 with Hewitt about the book, making general comments about policy--

https://www.hughhewitt.com/wp-content/uploads/09-15hhs-obrien.mp3

A 28 March 2018 interview with O'Brien is about John Bolton being made National Security Advisor--

https://www.hughhewitt.com/robert-c-obrien-long-time-colleague-of-ambassador-john-bolton-on-president-trumps-selection-of-bolton-for-the-nsa/

From the type of legal cases he has been involved in, he should have a smoother and more palatable demeanor than John Bolton, but his philosophies are what matter.  We will see how they play out.

#The idea of counterinsurgency is deader than Osama Bin Laden - Paul Mulshine

 
"The contrast between the two approaches could not have been more obvious after an elite unit, the Navy SEALs, dispatched Osama bin Laden the other day without losing a man. Meanwhile, our conventional forces remain bogged down in a couple of countries, losing men and blowing through billions while achieving little of strategic importance to the United States."  Mulshine

http://www.theworld.org/2011/02/09/egypt-omar-suleiman-second-in-command/

Several people have asked me to make a clear statement on the rendition program and the part that Omar Suleimen played in it.  First - this arrangement was made between the US Government and that of Egypt, not between CIA and Omar Suleiman.  Whatever his agency did in accord with the agreement we Americans as a whole should take responsibility for whether we had the opportunity to vote for the program or not. Second - He is and was a public servant, not a "loose cannon" as is implied by many. Third - The present situation in Egypt is so serious and complex that the ability of individuals to contribute to good outcomes should not be decided on the basis of single issues.

My opposition to the use of barbarous (by my definition) methods of warfare is long established.  pl
