‘Doctor Peyo’: the horse comforting cancer patients in Calais – in pictures

Peyo tells his trainer which room he wants to enter next by stopping or raising his leg. Peyo is 15 and seems able to detect when humans have cancers and tumours. He stayed nearly two hours here, watching over a dying woman.

‘I accompany him but I let him do what he wants, he’s the one who decides,’

Artificial #intelligence is making critical #health care decisions.

Advancements in #AI have created big gaps in what the #FDA regulates. It does nothing to review tools like chatbots, for example, and it has no #authority over systems that summarize #doctors’ notes and perform other critical administrative tasks.

#Nuremberg codes #Hippocratic Oath gone #doctors #hospitals
The Doctors are Killing Americans – That is one of the basic tenants of what is called the Hippocratic Oath. It was once at the foundation of all medical care. You can find more information on the Oath here. Although the Oath may not hold legal standing in the medical field today, most of the Physicians in America are in direct violation of that Oath. In fact, the medical system is killing patients. Unfortunately, most Doctors in America are under the direct control of the American Medical Association. The Centers for Disease Control, and Medicare edicts of the Federal Government.
Doctors should know better. Big Medicine protocol is killing American citizens. Isn’t it time we asked why? Aren’t doctors subject to the Nuremberg Codes? America’s Doctors are either ignorant of the facts, or ignoring the facts. Neither excuse excuses their behavior. The Doctors’ blind compliance are killing their patients!

How Doctors Create Customers

If you ever wondered why the learning of history is discouraged, or why Castalia History is so important, this anecdote from Chroniques de Genève by François Bonivard, finished in 1570 but not published until 1831, should suffice to explain it.

When the #bubonic #plague struck #Geneva in 1530, everything was ready. They even opened a whole #hospital for the plague victims. With #doctors, #paramedics and #nurses. The traders contributed, the magistrate gave grants every month. The patients always gave money, and if one of them died alone, all the goods went to the hospital.

But then a #disaster happened: the plague was dying out, while the #subsidies depended on the number of patients. There was no question of right and wrong for the Geneva hospital staff in 1530. If the plague produces money, then the plague is good. And then the doctors got organized.

At first, they just #poisoned #patients to raise the #mortality #statistics, but they quickly realized that the statistics didn’t have to be just about mortality, but about mortality from plague. So they began to cut the #boils from the bodies of the dead, dry them, grind them in a mortar and give them to other patients as #medicine. Then they started #dusting clothes, handkerchiefs and garters. But somehow the plague continued to abate. Apparently, the dried #buboes didn’t work well. #Doctors went into town and #spread bubonic powder on door handles at night, selecting those homes where they could then profit. As an eyewitness wrote on these events, “this remained hidden for some time, but the devil is more concerned with increasing the number of sins than with hiding them.”

In short, one of the doctors became so impudent and lazy that he decided not to wander the city at night, but simply threw a bundle of dust into the crowd during the day. The stench rose to the sky and one of the girls, who by a lucky chance had recently come out of that hospital, recognized what that smell was.

The doctor was tied up and placed in the good hands of competent “craftsmen.” They tried to get as much information from him as possible. However, the #execution lasted several days. The #ingenious #hypocrites were tied to poles on wagons and carried around the city. At each intersection the executioners used red-hot tongs to tear off pieces of meat. They were then taken to the public square, #beheaded and #quartered, and the pieces were taken to all the districts of Geneva.

The only exception was the hospital director’s son, who did not take part in the trial but blurted out that he knew how to make potions and how to prepare the powder without fear of contamination. He was simply beheaded “to prevent the spread of evil”.

Apparently the Geneva doctors didn’t initially understand that excess mortality statistics would give them away either.

It is said that #Bonivard’s work is not well-regarded by historians. I have no doubt that is the case. But that does not mean that it does not provide a faithful and true account of the events it relates. What historians believe to be credible is often a very false and unreliable metric. The abhorrent behavior of the sixteenth-century Geneva doctors is much easier to believe in the immediate aftermath of the #Covid #pandemic and the #mass #vaxxassinations of their twenty-first-century counterparts.

And it’s interesting to see how the hospital bureaucrats were in on the murderous Geneva scheme too.

The Chris Hedges Report podcast with Kevin Gosztola on Julian Assange and the End of Press Freedom

https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-chris-hedges-report-podcast-with-63e

The legal action against #JulianAssange is poised to culminate in a #trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the #public understand the proceedings.

This new #book by #KevinGosztola, (2/21/2023) who has spent the last decade covering #Assange, #WikiLeaks, and the wider #war on #whistleblowers, tells the full story based on #testimony from dozens of witnesses. It examines #abuses-of-power by the #CIA and the #FBI, including a #spying operation that targeted Assange's #family, #lawyers, and #doctors. It outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American #wars, the #US #government's #unprecedented #indictment against Assange as a #publisher, and the #media's role in persuading the #public to " #shoot-the-messenger." #Guilty-of-Journalism offers a #balanced and #comprehensive #perspective on all the events leading up to what #press-freedom advocates have called the #trial-of-the-century.
