Knowledge is Good

As you may know, I have been working with a film crew on a documentary about the death of George Floyd. More accurately, an experienced and highly capable group of professionals has been making a documentary about the death of George Floyd based on the articles that I have written for The American Spectator (posted on this blog). Somewhere along the way, I went from being just one of many contemplated interviewees to the narrator of the film. The documentary has been completed and a password-protected version is being circulated to many media outlets and notables in preparation for its […]

I have been fully involved in post production work on the soon-to-be-released documentary titled The Death of George Floyd. Part of the process includes promoting the film before its release. To that end, I appeared yesterday on Real Talk with Roshini Rajkumar on WCCO News Talk 830 AM in Minneapolis. The host is a lawyer who has a commitment to the Constitution, due process of law and a great deal of courage. The topic was the wrongful prosecution of the former Minneapolis police officers who have been criminally charged in the death of George Floyd. Given the lynch mob atmosphere […]

I spent yesterday in Manhattan with a film crew attempting to narrate an upcoming documentary about the death of George Floyd. It was a true learning experience that convinced me that I have zero talent as a narrator. The film makers have assembled a riveting compilation of videos from the body cameras worn by the police who arrested Floyd, the cell phones of the civilian witnesses and a surveillance camera on a nearby building. The footage is chaotic, compelling, and fast-moving. Breaking it down and providing a comprehensible analytical narrative was a real challenge. The producer/director and the crew were […]

My friends at The American Spectator have made a bold move into the video realm with their launch of The Spectacle Podcast hosted by Publisher Melissa Mackenzie. I was honored to be the guest on the very first Spectacle Podcast. The subjects were the death of George Floyd and a brief detour into the COVID-19 political swamp. You can view the podcast on The American Spectator website (where you can access the viewers’ comments) or by clicking on the picture below. It runs about an hour. I hope you find it to be worthwhile.

On September 2, 1945, aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, representatives of the Allied powers and the Imperial Japanese government signed the formal instrument of surrender which officially ended the Second World War. As with most of the footage from that war, the official film coverage of this event was made in black and white. Here’s a typical newsreel report of the surrender. Present that day was Navy Commander George F. Kosco, an officer on Admiral William Halsey’s staff, who recorded the surrender on color film. That footage has been combined with color film taken by Navy photographers in […]

Last evening I was a guest on the Dan Proft Show at AM 560 WIND in Chicago. Dan and I discussed the Democrats’ creative use of COVID-19 to seize control of our lives and to sabotage the upcoming election by stampeding the electorate into voting by mail. Fortunately, since the interview was taped, Dan was able to edit out all the parts where I got so angry that I sounded like a barricaded man demanding a limo ride to the airport and a private jet to Cuba. He did such a good editing job that I actually sound only half […]

Here’s my latest published by The American Spectator. Questions for Dr. Fauci | The American Spectator As you may be aware, health-care providers across the country and around the world have reported great success in using Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azithromycin (the “HCQ cocktail”) to treat COVID-19. According to these physicians and researchers, the key to success is to use the HCQ cocktail within the first seven days after onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Nevertheless, ever since President Trump endorsed Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), its use has become a highly politicized and controversial matter. The opposition to HCQ started with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director […]

Yesterday my friends at The American Spectator published my latest defense of the former Minneapolis police officers who have been criminally charged for allegedly causing the death of George Floyd. It has drawn a great deal of attention and comment. My first article defending these men discussed the fact that, at the time of his death, Floyd “had in his bloodstream over three times the potentially lethal limit of fentanyl, a powerful and dangerous passion medication known to shut down the respiratory system and cause coma and death.” (Emphasis added.) As described in the article, Floyd’s toxicology report stated that […]

At long last, here’s my article published yesterday by The American Spectator regarding the death of George Floyd. After being featured on Real Clear Politics and by my friends at Powerline,  it’s generated a great deal of comment pro, con and outright angry. Here are two points that I did not address in the article. First, as you will see, when approached by the police, Floyd was foaming at the mouth. When the police asked about that, Floyd replied that he had been “hooping earlier.” “Hooping” is a street term that, in some locales, means placing drugs in one’s anus. […]

Here’s my latest article recently published by The American Spectator. It describes how the social media monopolies made a group of truth-telling doctors disappear from the internet. A cautionary tale for us all. As for your many inquiries about my analysis of George Floyd’s death, I have been advised that social commentator Scott Adams referenced my recent post about Floyd dying from a fentanyl overdose. I was told that Adams tweeted about it and added that he is personally aware that fentanyl is deadly. Since I can’t figure out Twitter and am not particularly interested in learning how it works, I have […]

Last evening I was a guest on the Dan Proft Show at AM 560 WIND in Chicago. Dan and I covered a lot of ground including the rioting in Portland, John Durham’s investigation and the House Judiciary Committee’s “hearing” at which Attorney  General Barr wasn’t allowed to answer questions. As usual, Dan was smart, witty and well-prepared. He included a short clip of Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, the absolute best interviewer on television anywhere, eviscerating Valerie Jarrett, underboss of the Obama crime family. You can listen to the full interview by clicking on this link. Hope you enjoy it. Post […]

My friends at The American Spectator and I have agreed that my analysis of the George Floyd case would benefit from a bit of editing. Just so you know, the thrust of my article is that the toxicological screen of Floyd’s blood demonstrated that he had ingested over three times the potentially lethal limit of fentanyl which was mixed with healthy doses of methamphetamine and marijuana. The fentanyl, a synthetic pain killer which is 80 to 200 times as powerful as morphine and is known to shut down respiration, induce coma and cause death, was by itself enough to kill […]

Many of you have asked when my analysis of the George Floyd case will be posted. I submitted it today to The American Spectator for their consideration and am waiting for a decision. It’s a strongly worded defense of the accused police officers, and my friends at the AmSpec are being extra cautious in their vetting of the article. They are rightly concerned about the likely backlash and negative consequences of publishing it and will let me know their decision tomorrow. I made clear to them that I fully respect their entirely reasonable position and understandable concerns. After all, we […]

Here’s an outstanding Capitol Hill press conference by a group of practicing physicians who call themselves “America’s Frontline Doctors” and who are successfully treating COVID-19 patients. Every minute of the video is chock full of valuable information and well worth your time. They address why the schools must reopen, the overwhelming effectiveness and safety of hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin + zinc in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19, and the damage being caused by the lockdown of society. Here’s a taste. When addressing the scandalous opposition by certain segments of the medical establishment to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), one of the doctors said […]
