Why did Trump deify Fauci?
#240 | Posted by visitor_

President Trump gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation on January 19, 2021, the last full day of Trump's first term.

The commendation was awarded to Fauci along with dozens of other members of the Operation Warp Speed team, including military leaders, scientists, public health officials, and vaccine developers. The White House said they were being recognized for their "exceptional efforts on Operation Warp Speed" and their work to protect the health and well-being of the American people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Democrats were correct in their criticism of her, she never corrected President Trump's misinformation during live press briefings.
Her presence also lent a "veneer of scientific credibility" to what Democrats thought were dangerous administrative policies.
Finally the for the win she only spoke out after she left the administration, when it was no longer personally or professionally risky, and needed to deflect from any criticism she might face.

So Big Bro can't really snoop on me, at least not through any hand-held device.

China's potential vulnerability as a superpower is similar to India's problem.

Unhappy elements within a large population pool.

India's caste system and poverty is a perennial problem and some analysts estimate that up to 25% of their territory is under Naxalite control or influence.

This is why both countries are "purifying" their nations, Sinification in China and Hinduization in India.

Poverty, corruption, and inequity are not long term formulae for success.

Look at all the corruption investigations underway in China.

China has suffered little casualtues since 2000, amassed weaponry, experience, and a fortune from all the stupid and reckless Western wars, like the Iranian quagmire we are in today thanks to Israel.

Moreover, Beijing has gained international experience and prestige as UN Peacekeepers and medical experts providing free healthcare to poor people in the Third World.

Dummkopf Trumpf dismantled USAID.

And the MSS is huge, posing tremendous problems for CIA, DIA, FBI, MI5, and MI6.

The greatest threat to China is internal dissent, not an international adversary, but they are quashing it mercilessly. See Hong Kong, Uighurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, visiting Taiwanese, and Manchus for more info.

Hunter is in fact the original Joseph Robinette, his aging slowed significantly through technologies developed by Fauci, Epstein and Nature Made. His memory replaced with Charlie Sheens.

What Biden was referring to as "strategic defence" was in fact money and munitions sent to Israel instead.

I hope this explains some of why stockpiles of munitions protecting the United States never really existed.

Trump wants the power to stop public from suing polluters

More from the article ...

... Congress specifically wrote into those laws ways for citizens to enforce them through the courts when the government does not act to address the problem. Called "citizen suit provisions," those parts of the laws allow regular people and advocacy groups to sue companies they believe are violating the law. Citizens can also sue federal agencies that fail to enforce the laws.

Since the 1970s, those provisions have been used in over 2,000 lawsuits. In fact, a majority of environmental cases are citizen suit cases. Citizen suits have been used to halt the construction of dams to protect endangered species, end the injection of wastewater into groundwater, and secure US$14.2 million in civil penalties for illegal emissions from a petrochemical facility.

In short, these cases have shaped modern environmental law.

Now, in a legal filing, the Trump administration is saying citizens should not be allowed to enforce environmental laws. Rather, despite what the laws say, the US Department of Justice has claimed in a case involving Elon Musk's xAI that people should be required to leave enforcement to the executive branch -- even if the executive decides to take no action. ...

Apparently, China could fuel any war, any time from start to end. Terrifying.

I imagine the over-unity and new energy sources are what they fear admitting exist the most unless it's metered in crypto.

Destabilization if it's introduced suddenly, but exploitable if slowly transitioned.

Would AI predict this replacement and plot expansion where more secure?

In a future without oil you might want a "super brain" to develop your next generation sources and devices.

In the current we are limited to expecting warfare prices forever but not because China wants an impoverished US as a market. Apparently, the US administration does.

Years ago I met a really good fellow who was one of the last Baghdadi Jews. I had met Iranian Jews before, but never an Iraqi one -- even in my deployments there.

One day "RI" told me that the Baghdadi colony suddenly became "Jews" after Saddam Hussein was toppled, not before.

The US attacking Iran on Israel's behalf was certainly a well-thought out plan by the historically ignorant and inept Trumpf junta that is bankrupting the US economy while all US and int'l oil companies are making obscene profits at our expense.

Lamp, for instance, the fact that the US has at best 60 days of petrolium reserve, whereas China appears to have at least four years and can continually process more internally whereas the US cannot.

The routing for Iran and Russia traded in yuan is discussed, but also has implications furthering warfare which he should make an entirely other 30 minute video on, imo.

Fauci was a monster of Trump's making and once Fauci became the media darling, Trump was too weak to fire him.

-So how many deaths under HRC? Substantially less.
why?

Because she wouldn't have disbanded the White House Pandemic Task Force.
Because she would have listened to public health leaders who said we needed to ramp up testing, a thing Trump didn't do.

This has been studied extensively. Trump's (lack of, or bad) actions resulted in over 500,000 excess deaths.

"You are not going convince anyone that the head of the NIAID is a position without significant power"

Then, Trump gave him more power by appointing him to the White House Coroanvirus Task Force.
If Trump wasn't happy with Fauci, he could have simply removed him from the team. He didn't.
Trump also praised Fauci, and said we did the right thing by going into lockdown.

I think you're seeing Fauci all wrong.
Frankly, rather than Fauci being a deflection for Trump, I think Fauci is really a deflection for Democrats and media figures who aggressively promoted misinformation, supported prolonged restrictions, and helped damage the economy. "Don't blame us. We just did what Fauci said."
Trump clearly did not want the economy shut down. Democrats were far more willing to prolong the shutdowns, and many of them had an obvious political incentive to blame Trump for the consequences.
They saw this as a way to harm Trump and usher in greater dependence on government money.

Republicans Let Trump Keep Unparalleled Benefit: I.R.S. Immunity

This attempt to hold a license to not pay taxes will stand until a non-MAGA president occupies the Oval Office, at which time the way will be clear for that president's attorney general to challenge the agreement in court. And likely win. Let's face it, until then, The Trump Crime Family will just stop paying taxes. Why should they pay, if they will not be questioned?

I believe rednecks hate Hillary and her good behavior is meaningless.
Rednecks believe Biden stole the election. So his behavior is irrelevant.
At least with regards to getting people to take their health more seriously.

Donnerboy, #164 What "power" are you referring to?

As the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a chief medical advisor, his role was to provide recommendations

You answered your own question. You are not going convince anyone that the head of the NIAID is a position without significant power, controlling a multi-billion dollar budget. Fauci was the highest paid bureaucrat on the payroll. A question I have is where was his ethical oversight?
