How a false hydroxychloroquine narrative was created, and more
Meryl Nass, MD Alliance for Human Research Protection | June 28, 2020
Below, Dr. Meryl Nass reviews a long list of corrupt practices that undermine the integrity of medical science and the practice of medicine during the current medical crisis. The coronavirus crisis has been made significantly worse by stakeholders who are preventing doctors from prescribing for their patients, existing, safe and effective medicines, because the stakeholders are invested on garnering projected future profits from not-yet-developed vaccines and “countermeasures” specifically developed against COVID-19.

When protests aren’t progressive
When protests aren’t progressive
The best way for progressives to prevent such sentiments from snowballing into a movement that actually could win power is to take an approach rooted in humility. Talk to the protesters, listen to their grievances, promise to discuss options for addressing them with elected and appointed officials.
Such humility will come naturally to a politician hoping to represent the broadest possible coalition of working-class voters. It will appear impossible to someone convinced that every citizen of a certain socioeconomic stratum ought rightly to be an automatic ally and contributor to the present-day iteration of the progressive political project.

Counterspin is one of the largest platforms for conspiracy theories and far-right ideology in New Zealand.

US pressure mounts over Solomon Islands’ relations with China
The situation in Solomon Islands represents another indictment of US and Australian imperialism. Talk of respecting the national sovereignty of small nations and of upholding basic precepts of international law is quickly abandoned when geo-strategic interests are at stake. Preparations to destabilise and potentially overthrow the Sogavare government threaten an enormous crisis in the impoverished Pacific country.

While the exact nature of the relationship between Himalaya New Zealand and Counterspin Media is unclear, a representative from the former was the first guest on the latter.
I haven’t found any real connection to the protests, outside of possibly promoting them, on his podcast, and Counterspin Media covering NZ. Another note, watched this video and it was the counter-protesters blocking traffic in Vancouver, Canada. They were calling the convoy members white supremacists/KKK (no visible KKK signs, even). 🙄

Two anti-mandate groups are fighting with each other over how the Wellington convoy protest is running, with one suggesting there’s been a “blatant smear campaign” against the other.
