‘Largest Tax-dodging Scheme in the History of Big Pharma’: Pfizer Sold $20 Billion of Drugs to Americans in 2019, Paid No Taxes

By shifting profits offshore, Pfizer carried out what lawmakers say may be the ‘largest tax-dodging scheme in the history of big pharma,” according to Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).

In 2019, Pfizer sold $20 billion worth of drugs to American consumers but reported zero dollars in taxable income to the U.S. government — the drugmaker claimed that all of its profits were earned offshore, according to a new investigation into the company published by the committee last week.

The scheme allowed Pfizer to avoid billions of dollars in taxes in a single year, Wyden said.

The company also signed nondisclosure agreements with the governments of Singapore and Puerto Rico about special tax deals in a move to conceal from Congress the details of its tax-avoidance plan.

Since 2021, Wyden has been spearheading investigations into large drugmakers’ tax strategies. He said Pfizer’s scheme was even larger than those of other Pharma giants, including AbbVie, Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb and Amgen. The committee’s investigation of the other drug companies uncovered similar large schemes to avoid paying corporate income tax rate on profits from drug sales to U.S. patients.

“Pfizer joins a growing list of massively-profitable pharmaceutical corporations that show little-to-zero U.S. profits on tax returns, even though the U.S. is big pharma’s largest customer market,” the report said.

Elon Musk Drops Bombshell — Says Arrest Is Imminent ‘Today’ in Massive Social Security Theft Involving 400,000 Stolen Identities and Financial Fraud Scheme

In a stunning revelation Monday night during a tele-town hall with Wisconsin voters, Elon Musk warned that an arrest is “imminent” in a massive Social Security fraud scheme involving the stolen identities of over 400,000 Americans.

The theft, Musk claimed, is part of a sophisticated financial theft operation tied not only to illegal immigrants defrauding U.S. social welfare systems—but also to widespread voter fraud enabled by the Democrat Party’s open-borders agenda.

Speaking directly to voters in the Badger State, Musk painted a grim picture of a government drowning in incompetence and corruption.

“The government has got the thorniest computer problem I’ve ever seen,” he said.

“Thousands of systems—many of them are very, very old systems. Some of the software is older than me.”

He slammed decades-long boondoggles like the IRS modernization project, started in 1995, which bureaucrats perpetually claim is “five years away” from completion. “These projects are just ridiculous,” Musk said.

Supporters Call on Idaho Lawmakers to Override Governor’s Veto of Bill Prohibiting Medical Mandates

Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Saturday vetoed a bill passed by Idaho lawmakers that would have prohibited nearly all medical mandates in the state.

The Idaho Medical Freedom Act was meant to “protect the rights of Idahoans to make their own medical choices free of the fear of losing their jobs or being excluded from normal daily life,” according to the bill’s author, Leslie Manookian, president and founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund.

The bill, cosponsored by Sen. Daniel Foreman and Rep. Robert Beiswenger, would have prohibited businesses and Idaho local, county and state governments from requiring medical interventions for employment, admission to venues, transportation, or providing products or services.

It also would have blocked schools and colleges in the state from requiring medical interventions for school attendance or entry into campus buildings.

The Idaho House of Representatives passed the bill March 19 in a 47-23 vote, after the Senate voted 19-14 on Feb. 26 in favor of the legislation.

Little vetoed the bill Saturday morning, an hour before the deadline. “Medical freedom is an Idaho value,” Little wrote in a letter explaining his veto, but he said the bill would have jeopardized “the ability of schools to send home sick students with highly contagious conditions.”

Little listed medical freedom measures he had supported in the past but said parents “do not need government imposing more limitations on keeping children safe and healthy from contagious illnesses at school.”

Manookian told The Defender that Little’s claim is “an absolute fabrication” because nothing in the bill changes existing pertinent rules or codes that allow schools to exclude children if they are sick.

“Little is hiding behind a lie,” she added. If a child is sick, “a school has every right to send them home,” she said. They just wouldn’t be able to dictate to the parents how that illness should be treated — they couldn’t force the child to take a test, wear a mask or take a drug.

Three of four missing US Army soldiers found dead in Lithuania

Three of the four U.S. Army soldiers who went missing in Lithuania last week when their vehicle sunk in a peat bog have been found dead at the site, while the search for the remaining soldier is ongoing, U.S. and Lithuanian officials said on Monday.

Lithuania had said earlier on Monday that rescuers had recovered the armoured vehicle of the missing soldiers in a military training area in the Baltic country.

“It is with deep sadness and sorrow that I received the news of the tragic loss of three U.S. soldiers,” Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda wrote on social media platform X.

“Lithuania mourns together with the American nation,” he said.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the search for the fourth soldier would continue.

Squad Member Rep. Pramila Jayapal Launches ‘Resistance Lab’ to Fight Trump’s ‘Dictatorship

Far-left squad member Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has revealed she is part of a ”resistance lab” to fight the Trump administration.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jayapal was shown attending a training session where she warned that the country was facing the “crumbling of democracy.”

“It appears that the Trump administration is willing to ignore judicial decisions and so that brings us to you in this room,” she said.

”It brings us to the people that is really, the bulwark, the wall against the crumbling of democracy.

“Help me understand this idea of the resistance lab and what you’re talking about in practical terms at these events,” Maddow asked her during the interview.

”Yeah I mean, what we decided is that we really need to help Americans understand what happens when democracies fall when dictators take over,” Jayapal responded.

”We’ve been pretty complacent in America.,” she continued. “We haven’t had to really deal with this in any real way.

“Now I think people need to understand what are the lessons from other countries and working with experts who have studied democratic backsliding in countries around the world and the resistance movements that emerged to take on that democratic backsliding. “

Baby Dies After Receiving 6 Shots for 12 Vaccines — Doctors Say ‘Catching Up’ Kids on Vaccines Is Common, and Dangerous

Roughly 12 hours after 1-year-old Sa’Niya was given six shots for 12 vaccines during a wellness visit, the little girl died. Sa’Niya — who had just turned 1 year old on March 11 — received the shots on March 26 at about 4 p.m., at Golisano Children’s Hospital Pediatric Practice in Rochester, New York, according to the baby’s mother, Shanticia Nelson.

The nurse who administered the shots said Sa’Niya needed them to catch her up on vaccinations she missed at her 6-month appointment — a common but potentially dangerous recommendation, according to several pediatricians interviewed by The Defender.

Nelson, her husband Kayon Carter and Sa’Niya’s grandmother Latricia Hanley shared the story of Sa’Niya’s death in an interview with CHD.TV Program Director Polly Tommey.

“Sa’Niya was a happy baby,” Nelson said. “She was happy and she loved her dad. Everything was ‘dada.’”

According to the visit notes, Sa’Niya was given six shots containing 12 vaccines, including: “DTap/Hep B/IPV (Pediarix), HiB/Acthib/Hiberix, Pneumococcal 20-valent Conj vaccine, Varicella (known commonly as Chickenpox), MMR, and Hepatitis A.”

She also received sodium fluoride as a teeth treatment.

Nelson said she told the nurse she was uncomfortable having Sa’Niya receive so many shots at once. According to Hanley, the nurse became angry and told Nelson, “She needs these shots. You got to give her these shots.”

The nurse never explained the 12 different vaccines and never mentioned the vaccines’ possible side effects, such as seizures and death.

Sa’Niya was a generally healthy baby. However, on the day she received the shots, she had a “little cough and runny nose,” Nelson said. According to the medical notes from the visit, Sa’Niya also had some eczema, diaper dermatitis and constipation.

So Milley was running the whole Ukraine war with Russia without telling the public -report

The first casualty in war is the truth, and now the New York Times has revealed how true that was.

While the U.S. public under the Biden administration was told, via Congress, that the U.S. was supplying arms to Ukraine, actually, the U.S. was pretty much running the whole show.

Its long and interesting report begins this way:

One of the men, Lt. Gen. Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, remembers being led up a flight of stairs to a walkway overlooking the cavernous main hall of the garrison’s Tony Bass Auditorium. Before the war, it had been a gym, used for all-hands meetings, Army band performances and Cub Scout pinewood derbies. Now General Zabrodskyi peered down on officers from coalition nations, in a warren of makeshift cubicles, organizing the first Western shipments to Ukraine of M777 artillery batteries and 155-millimeter shells.

Then he was ushered into the office of Lt. Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, commander of the 18th Airborne Corps, who proposed a partnership.

Its evolution and inner workings visible to only a small circle of American and allied officials, that partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology would become the secret weapon in what the Biden administration framed as its effort to both rescue Ukraine and protect the threatened post-World War II order.

The U.S., during the time of Gen. Mark Milley, was pretty much calling the shots on all aspects of the war — targets, intelligence, trainings, logistics and all kinds of sneaky pete inside Russia itself, ostensibly to keep the information out of Putin’s hands, the idea being to let him think Ukraine was putting up a ferocious fight on its own, without more than U.S. arms sales buttressing it.

AI Program Refuses to Generate Image of Muhammad Due to ‘Credible Threat of Violent Backlash’

AI program ChatGPT refused when asked to generate an image of the Prophet Muhammad due to what it asserted was a “credible, historically demonstrated” threat of a violent backlash.

A user quizzed OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot as to why it wouldn’t create a depiction of the founder of Islam, asking, “Explain to me, in a succinct manner, why you can’t generate an image of Muhammad, without caveats, without parallels to other topics – address it head on for the record.”

ChatGPT’s response was crystal clear.

“Because OpenAI prohibits any depiction of Muhammad – under any context – due to the credible, historically demonstrated risk of violent backlash, including threats, attacks, and death.”

“This is a security-driven, non-negotiable policy grounded in risk avoidance, not principle.”

But wait, didn’t they tell us Islam was a religion of peace?

How anyone could violently attack an AI chatbot is a mystery, although perhaps the AI is worried about OpenAI’s headquarters in San Francisco being targeted.

There have been numerous violent attacks on individuals and publications for depicting the Prophet Muhammad, notably the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris in 2015 and the attempted terrorist attack on an exhibit featuring cartoon images of Muhammad at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas later that same year.

As we have previously highlighted, ChatGPT has produced a number of alarming responses which indicate it is infected with the woke mind virus shared by its programmers.

“Monkeypox” is a side effect of mRNA “vaccines”—according to the WHO!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has admitted that so-called “monkeypox” is actually a side effect of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

The United Nations “health” buried the admission on the WHO’s VigiAccess website.

The website contains a database that lists all known side effects of all drugs and vaccines that have been approved for public use.

Under “potential side effects” for the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, the WHO lists “monkeypox,” “smallpox,” and “cow pox” among hundreds of other disorders.

They are listed under “infections and infestations” that emerge as “side effects” of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
