THE MOST EVIL MAN ON EARTH
2016 Sep 20 from Jackie
Mr. Griffin, We all know that it is George Soros and friends that are destroying this country. He tried it in other nations, but they were a lot wiser than the USA and kicked him out before he could ruin their country. He is on the way to victory in the USA, and it behooves me that the intelligence of this country are letting Georgie boy have his way…..What can we do about this? How can we get the most evil man on earth out of our domain….and banned from investing or using this country in any manner, shape or form? Are we Americans supposed to sit back and watch our demise take place? Are we that helpless? George Soros has been at work behind the scenes for years and the country is blind to his dangerous shenanigans.

WAS IT WRONG TO PUBLISH THE TESTIMONY OF A MAN WHO SAID HE WAS AN ASSASSIN FOR PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT DUTERTE?
2016 Sep 19 from Damien Aargon
How do you know that the information about Duterte is true? It comes from the same government that is angry with Duterte for his action against drug people? So now you trust what this guy is saying to a panel? Hmmmmm.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Damien.
You have raised a good point. We always face this issue when we find adverse information about political figures who have enemies – no matter which side they are on. We try not to jump to conclusions, but events keep moving forward, and we have to make decisions based on our best judgment or just forget trying to report any news at all.

Our best judgment is affected by the answers to two questions: (1) Does the news item seem consistent with what we know to be true? And (2) Is there information from credible sources that contradicts the news item? If the answers are yes to the first question and no to the second, generally we feel that the item is worth reporting.

Our track record has been amazingly good following this formula. I can recall only two times in all the years of reporting the news that we have had to issue a retraction. I hope you agree that we are following the right policy. Thanks for writing.

MEDICATIONS FOR DIABETES ARE POISON – And a thyroid supplement for 22 cents per day!
2016 Sep 19 from Jerry Hewes
Ed,
First let me applaud you for your comments about your own health experience. Obviously, doctors don’t approve of this because we are not “professionals” but we have found such discussion very informative. Thank you!

Also, I have found that all the medications for diabetes are poison, destroying your pancreas bit by bit. Victoza? Outrageously expensive and pure poison to your pancreas. (My personal experience.) There are already a number of lawsuits against Victoza which is probably why it is so expensive. If you need to take anything, take insulin. Time tested by many people for many decades. It is normal to your body and does not attack the pancreas.

Another miracle supplement is thyroid supplemen-tation. Is has been my wife’s and my observation that doctors do not like to prescribe help for your thyroid because it makes you too healthy and you do not return to doctors. Upon seeing how my wife’s (68yr) health was deteriorating similar to my former experience, she requested thyroid supplementation because she took my “Nature-Throid” and found it indispensable, affecting in a very beneficial way, her whole body!

She requested thyroid medication from two doctors and was told she did not need it by her regular doctor and was “ordered out of the office” in the second case. She went to my alternative care NP and got the prescription, and all has gone very well since. Nature-Throid costs as low as 22 cents a day!

Note: I guess the AMA finally realized that Nature-Throid is a very good medication because they recently stopped the NP from dispensing it in her office.
