Because you can't contribute to a literature if you don't know the literature.
Bezos doesn't want expertise. He wants propagandists and confusion, because that's what the Trump regime and Israel want. Therefore he fires the experts.
After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.

ZOA honors Biden in 1984; newspaper clipping
Which nation is the question? In the early 1980s, Israeli officials had to tell Biden to chill because his desire to mass murder children was too extreme even for them. Biden described himself as a Zionist foremost, and for decades, the US was not the country he prioritized.
They are so lovely.
What a fabulous surprise! Beautiful.
Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.
If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.
They should declare him persona non grata and expel him.
A judge in AL, Trump appointee Corey Maze, becomes the latest of 33 judges to side with ICE's mandatory detention policy.

My kid currently at NYU says about half of their profs are already doing this. Blue books, in class oral assessments, no papers.
Federal agents with ICE detained a 16-year-old asylum-seeker in Minnesota and quietly transferred him out of state.
The teen was sent to a Michigan facility run by Bethany Christian Services, a federally contracted child services organization with financial ties to the DeVos family.

Who the fuck are these idiots? Truly.
And I am so glad they donβt.
