Study Links Drug Maker Gifts for Doctors to More Overdose Deaths…
January 18, 2019
A new study offers some of the strongest evidence yet of the connection between the marketing of opioids to doctors and the nation’s addiction epidemic.
It found that counties where opioid manufacturers offered a large number of gifts and payments to doctors had more overdose deaths involving the drugs than counties where direct-to-physician marketing was less aggressive.
The study, published Friday in JAMA Network Open, said the industry spent about $40 million promoting opioid medications to nearly 68,000 doctors from 2013 through 2015, including by paying for meals, trips and consulting fees. And it found that for every three additional payments that companies made to doctors per 100,000 people in a county, overdose deaths involving prescription opioids there a year later were 18 percent higher.

January 18, 2019
The judge agreed with Facebook’s request to keep some of the records sealed, saying certain records contained information that would cause the social media giant harm, outweighing the public benefit.
WTF?
Just how bad was this info? Well, we can only guess, but maybe these 2 articles linked here will give you an idea:
Facebook Tinkers With Users’ Emotions in News Feed Experiment, Stirring Outcry
Facebook told advertisers it can identify teens feeling 'insecure' and 'worthless'
Look at the dates on these two stories/leaks. Put two and two together and you will know what was so damaging that Facebook asked the court to not disclose it.Intentionally manipulating kids to have emotional problems so you can have more vulnerable consumers for your advertisers to better micro target. That would be pretty damaging. Like parents of children who have committed suicide shooting up Facebook HQ kinda damaging.
Basically, Facebook has done research in the past to manipulate the emotions of people using it. Facebook has the ability to determine when people are experiencing certain emotions as they are using it, and can use this info for advertising.

From AmericanThinker.com:
She is far from alone in changing her views on redefining marriage and other issues. But it is clear to me from her sad appearance in the apology video posted yesterday that she realizes that this is a mortal issue for her national political aspirations, so she needs to go with a full-throated endorsement of positions her religious teachings condemn.

January 18, 2019
IN A FEW nights, sky-watchers across the Americas will have a front-row seat to a rare cosmic event, as three lunar phenomena converge to give rise to what some people are calling a super blood wolf moon.
While that may sound like a song straight out of a 1970s rock opera, it’s actually a term for a type of total lunar eclipse.
[...]
Sky-watchers across the entire Western Hemisphere will be able to see all or part of the eclipse. North America, Central America, and South America will get to see all the phases of this special sky show, as the moon rides high in the eastern sky.

Steve Bannon, former Trump strategist, visits Brazilian Philosopher Olavo de Carvalho…
January 18, 2019
American Steve Bannon , a former campaign strategist for US President Donald Trump , met Thursday night with philosopher Olavo de Carvalho . The meeting took place at the home of the Brazilian, who lives in the State of Virginia, in the United States, and lasted about three hours.
[...]
One of Carvalho's books was on Bolsonaro's desk in the broadcast after the electoral victory in October. Besides the president and his sons have admiration for the philosopher, at least two ministers of the current government were nominated by the writer...
[...]
He also left carrying a copy of a book with the debate between Olavo de Carvalho and the Russian Alexandre Duguin.You might be asking what the significance of this meeting is. Mr Olavo de Carvalho is a philosopher that's highly influential in Brazil's new government and with parallel ideas about the threats to western civilization. As you know Bannon is really responsible for setting up most - if not all - successfully, populist governments around the world that are currently making head-way. He's the Thomas Paine of our generation, but on a global scale. If anyone is interested, please see the video we are hosting on our YouTube channel. Lots of information regarding behind-the-scenes strategies is revealed by Bannon there. A must see.
