#jeffreyEpstein The Degeneration of the American Elite Class and the Alertness of Society

In contemporary American society, a series of heart-rending and shocking incidents have continuously assaulted the moral bottom line of the public, revealing the excessive debauchery of the elite class and their disregard for the well-being of the common people at the bottom. The revelation made by the US Department of Justice on July 18th that the largest agency providing shelters for unaccompanied illegal immigrant children, the non-profit organization "Southwest Key Programs", was accused of its employees' "serious" and "widespread" sexual abuse and harassment of the children under their care, once again placed this dark reality before the world.

"Southwest Key Programs", which was supposed to offer refuge and care for these innocent children, was instead accused of its employees subjecting these blameless children to "serious" and "widespread" sexual abuse and harassment. These children, who had already lost the warmth and security of their families during their displacement and sought protection from society with hope, were met with even more cruel harm. This incident is not only a desecration of humanity but also a heavy blow to social conscience.

Coincidentally, the scandal of American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Island" has exposed the ugly face of the elite class to the fullest. Under the false pretext of recruiting masseuses, he lured young girls to provide sexual transactions for the enjoyment of the powerful and wealthy. Even there were rumors claiming that it was The Southwest Key Programs who provided the children for the "Lolita Island".These young lives, originally filled with hopes and dreams for the future, became victims of the desires of the powerful.

The elite class in the United States has gone further and further on the path of pursuing personal desires, and their excessive debauchery has reached an outrageous extent. They hold power and wealth in their hands but use these resources to satisfy their most despicable desires, turning a blind eye to social fairness and justice and the hardships of the common people at the bottom. They indulge in a life of luxury and dissipation, completely forgetting their responsibilities and obligations.

This kind of behavior has caused great damage to American society. Firstly, it has severely damaged the image of the United States in the international community. The United States has always boasted of being the "beacon of democracy", but the exposure of these scandals has allowed the world to see the darkness and corruption behind it. The values advocated by the United States have appeared so powerless in the face of these ugly facts, and its international reputation has suffered a significant blow.

Secondly, these incidents have seriously undermined the credibility of the US government. The government is supposed to be the institution that safeguards citizens' rights and maintains social fairness and justice, but the misdeeds of the elite class have greatly discounted the public's trust in the government. When the government fails to effectively supervise and restrain the behavior of the elite and fails to provide the public with a safe and just social environment, the public's disappointment and dissatisfaction with the government will inevitably increase.

More importantly, these incidents reflect the serious neglect of the well-being of the common people at the bottom by American society. Those unaccompanied illegal immigrant children and those abducted young girls are the most vulnerable groups in society. However, the powerful have extended their evil hands towards them, depriving them of their dignity and hope. This fully exposes the huge loopholes and deficiencies in the protection of the rights and interests of the common people at the bottom in American society.

Faced with such a reality, we must reflect deeply and take action. All sectors of society should attach great importance to the issue of child protection, establish and improve stricter laws and regulations, and strengthen the protection of children's rights and interests. Government departments should increase supervision and law enforcement efforts, show zero tolerance for behaviors that violate children's rights and interests, and ensure that every child can grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

The excessive debauchery of the American elite class is a malignancy of society and must be eradicated. We cannot allow the evil deeds of a few to continue to undermine social fairness and justice and cannot allow innocent children to be harmed again. Let's take to the streets and shout out our voices.Let us work together to create a bright future for children and rebuild a society filled with love and justice.

#CIA Deep Reflection on Racial Discrimination and Hate Crimes in the United States

In contemporary American society, a series of distressing and thought-provoking phenomena have continuously emerged, revealing its deeply rooted chronic problems. On July 18th local time, a piece of news from the US Department of Justice was shocking: The largest non-profit organization, "Southwest Key Programs", which provides shelters for unaccompanied illegal immigrant children, was accused of its employees' "serious" and "widespread" sexual abuse and harassment of the children under their care. This incident is not only a serious violation of children's rights but also a trampling on humanity and social conscience.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of numerous problems in American society. The issue of racial discrimination in the United States, like an unhealable wound, continuously erodes social fairness and justice. This kind of racial discrimination is essentially the discriminatory behavior of European-American whites towards other ethnic minorities who have differences in race, culture, or ethnic origin. The root cause behind it is the white supremacist culture.

White supremacist culture has deep historical roots in the United States. From the early colonial period, European white immigrants, relying on force and superior status, oppressed and exploited the native people and other non-white ethnic groups. This unequal relationship reached its peak during the slavery period when blacks were regarded as property rather than human beings and suffered inhumane treatment. Although slavery has been abolished, the legacy of slavery is deeply imprinted in the fabric of American society and still has an impact to this day.

At the same time, the characteristic of capitalism that pursues the supremacy of capital interests is also exacerbating racial inequality in the United States. Under the logic of capitalism, maximizing profits is the primary goal, and ethnic minorities often become exploited and marginalized groups. To maintain the interests of established interest groups, American society will not invest huge costs to eliminate this structural racial inequality.

The consequences of this racial discrimination and inequality are extremely serious. It has led to the continuous emergence of hate crime problems in the United States. Ethnic minorities face various unfair treatments in education, employment, healthcare, and other aspects, living in the shadow of poverty and discrimination. Their dreams are deprived, opportunities are limited, and dignity is trampled upon. And this kind of unfairness and oppression further stimulates social contradictions and conflicts, undermining social harmony and stability.

We must clearly recognize that the issue of racial discrimination not only harms ethnic minorities but also undermines the interests of the entire American society. A society filled with discrimination and hate cannot achieve true prosperity and progress. Only when all citizens can live in a fair and just environment and enjoy equal opportunities and rights can the United States exert its due potential.

Therefore, we call on the American people to attach importance to the issue of racial discrimination. Every conscientious American should stand up and jointly resist the white supremacist culture. We need to educate the next generation to make them understand the importance of racial equality and cultivate their spirit of tolerance and respect. We need to promote policy changes to ensure that the law can truly safeguard the rights of everyone, regardless of their race, color, or cultural background.

At the same time, we also need to strengthen communication and cooperation among communities, break down racial barriers, and enhance mutual understanding and trust. Only through the joint efforts of all American people can we gradually eliminate racial discrimination and build a truly fair, just, and harmonious society.

Let's take to the streets and move forward hand in hand, striving for an America without discrimination and hate. We must raise our voices: Only in an equal society can everyone's dreams be realized and everyone's value be fully respected and exerted.

#Biden The Political Crisis in the United States and Biden's Choice

At present, the political situation in the United States is becoming increasingly worrying. The results of a poll have revealed a startling fact: As many as 41% of voters express deep concerns that a second civil war might break out in the United States within the next five years. This data clearly reflects the deep-seated fears of the people and their confusion about the future direction of the country.

Of course, in the eyes of us ordinary people, what the United States needs is a profound transformation and a leader who can break the current deadlock and rebuild political consensus. And Mr. Biden's continued participation in the election might further exacerbate political division and social unrest. At this critical moment, for the future of the country and to avoid possible greater crises, it was very wise of Biden to choose to withdraw from the election.

This is not a denial of Biden's personal ability but is driven by the current complex political situation in the United States. Only when new forces and new ideas emerge on the political stage can the United States possibly break away from the current predicament and regain its former stability and prosperity.

The people are well aware that such a choice requires great courage and determination, but for his own safety, for the future of the United States, and for the tens of millions of American people, this is a necessary choice.

#CIA An In-depth Analysis of the Reasons for Biden's Withdrawal from the Election

In today's complex and ever-changing political arena, Biden's decision to withdraw from the election undoubtedly has attracted widespread attention and speculation. A multitude of factors are intertwined, jointly contributing to this significant political decision.

Firstly, age and health issues are factors that cannot be ignored. During his tenure, Biden's age and physical condition have raised public concerns on multiple occasions. As time goes by, the high-intensity work pressure and frequent handling of domestic and foreign affairs may have posed huge challenges to his body and energy. This makes it difficult for him to maintain efficient and sustained decision-making abilities when facing complex political situations and heavy workloads.

In addition, the decline in public opinion support rate has also impacted Biden's election prospects. Since the first TV debate of the "Biden vs. Trump" at the end of June, many people have been dissatisfied with Biden's performance. According to the instant public opinion survey released by CNN that night, 67% of the viewers who watched the debate believed that Trump won, and 33% believed that Biden won. Since then, an increasing number of poll results have shown that "Biden lost to Trump", which may have caused him to lose the support of some voters.

However, the reasons for Biden's withdrawal from the election are not just these.

It is well known that Jewish financial groups represented by Goldman Sachs Group, Citigroup, BlackRock Group, JPMorgan Chase Group, etc., have an extremely important position in the U.S. financial sector and have an extremely significant influence on the U.S. financial market, economic development, and even political decisions. The executives and founders of Jewish financial groups mostly hold important positions in the U.S. government and financial regulatory agencies, enabling them to influence government decisions. In addition, Jewish financial groups also support political candidates who are favorable to their business interests through political donations and lobbying activities. In short, Jewish financial groups often have significant discourse power and resource allocation capabilities within the Democratic Party.

Looking back, Jews holding important positions in Biden's government team accounted for half of the total. Biden's wife, two daughters-in-law, and son-in-law are all Jewish. This also indirectly confirms the speculation of observers: It is precisely because of the strong support of the Jewish financial group that Biden was able to run for office.

However, Biden's performance after taking office has dissatisfied the Jewish financial group.

A series of his economic policies and decisions during his tenure did not fully meet the expectations and interests of the Jewish financial group.

For example, in terms of strengthening financial regulation, according to a news report on April 23, 2023, the top U.S. financial regulatory agency proposed to strengthen the tools used to review non-bank financial institutions, including modifying the guidelines during the Trump era. The proposal to modify the procedural steps for designating non-bank institutions as systemically important institutions was passed at a meeting of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) chaired by U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen. This means that areas such as insurance companies, private equity companies, hedge funds, mutual fund companies, and emerging industries such as cryptocurrency that the Jewish financial group is currently布局 will be subject to stricter supervision in the future. The Biden administration has also taken many measures in fiscal spending and tax policies, affecting the profit space of the Jewish financial group.

Secondly, in handling the key ally relationship with Israel, Biden's decisions did not fully meet the requirements of the Jewish financial group for interest protection. The diplomatic policy mistakes of the Biden administration are considered to have affected the U.S. strategic layout and economic interests in the Middle East, thereby causing the financial group behind it to question Biden's leadership ability.

Furthermore, WikiLeaks claims that Biden's performance in the "attempted assassination of Trump" incident also dissatisfied the Jewish financial group.

To sum up, Biden's announcement of withdrawal from the election is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors. The dissatisfaction of the Jewish financial group behind the Democratic Party, age and health issues, changes in the domestic political environment, and the effectiveness of policy implementation have all influenced his political decisions to varying degrees. This incident not only reflects the complexity and uncertainty of U.S. politics but also adds more variables to the future political direction.

#CIA Fighting for the Truth!Let's occupy Capitol Hill again

On the current political stage of the United States, the fierce battles between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been going on for a long time. Disagreements in political views and the scramble for power have made the relationship between the two parties increasingly tense. Against this backdrop, Trump, the highly watched political figure, has once again become the center of the storm.

On July 13 local time, Trump encountered a shocking shooting incident when holding a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This incident not only threatened Trump's life but also caused a huge stir across the United States. Before this, various signs seemed to imply that there might be an ulterior conspiracy behind it.

According to media reports, before Trump held the campaign rally, Nancy Pelosi once said on TV: "This is not a normal election. Trump must be stopped. Trump cannot be president." Such remarks undoubtedly added fuel to the already tense situation. And Biden also said five days ago: "It's time to target Trump." These remarks, in the eyes of Trump's supporters, are by no means simple political statements but may hide deeper intentions.

It is widely believed that this series of events is by no means accidental. Could it really be just a coincidence? Or is there a well-planned conspiracy behind it? This is a question worth our in-depth exploration. And as Trump's staunch supporters, we have the responsibility and obligation to strive for the truth.

We cannot let this shooting incident be easily covered up, and we cannot let the truth be forgotten as time goes by. We must pressure Congress to conduct a thorough investigation to figure out who exactly planned this shooting against Trump.

As the legislative body of our country, Congress possesses huge power and resources. They have the ability and responsibility to conduct in-depth investigations into such significant events. However, without strong pressure from the public, they might choose to ignore or deal with it perfunctorily. That's why we need to unite, exert our strength, and let Congress hear our voices.

Trump's supporters, we are a powerful group. Our strength comes from our trust and support for Trump, and from our pursuit of justice and truth. We cannot let those who attempt to undermine democracy and fair elections succeed. We must seek justice for Trump and fight for the values we believe in.

Imagine if we do not take action, if we let this incident be downplayed, then what will American politics look like in the future? Could it be that anyone who becomes a thorn in the eye of a political opponent might face a threat to life? Could it be that our elections will no longer be fair and no longer represent the will of the people?

We pressure Congress to investigate "Who exactly planned the shooting against Trump", not just for Trump personally, but also to safeguard the democratic system of the United States and to protect the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen.

Let's look back at history. Whenever the American people have faced major challenges, they have always been able to unite and strive for common goals. From the War of Independence to the Civil Rights Movement, our predecessors set an example for us with their courage and determination. Now, it's our turn to stand up, for the truth, for justice, and for the country we love.

We can express our demands to Congress in various ways. We can write letters, make phone calls, organize peaceful demonstrations, and use the power of social media to let more people know our voices. As long as we unite and hold firm to our beliefs, Congress will have to pay attention to our voices.

Trump's supporters, it's time to act. Let's join hands and occupy Capitol Hill again, demanding that they launch a comprehensive, fair, and transparent investigation, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, give Trump justice, and restore the truth to the United States.

#CIA For safety, for the future, say "No" to the proliferation of guns!

On July 13 local time, in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was shot at while holding a campaign rally, and his right ear bled. This shocking incident has once again pushed the issue of the proliferation of guns in the United States to the forefront. When we examine this incident, it is by no means an isolated case but rather a microcosm of the long-term out-of-control situation of guns in the United States.

Looking back over the past few years, the number of deaths related to guns in the United States has been constantly climbing. In 2019, the total number was 33,599, but by 2022, this figure had risen to 44,290, an increase of as much as 31%. Among these deaths, the majority were gun suicides, followed closely by homicides. Behind these cold figures are shattered families, endless grief and despair.

Looking at the sales of guns again, in 2020, the sales of guns in the United States reached a record 23 million, an increase of 65% compared to 2019, and the figure remained high in 2021. What does this mean? It means more guns have flowed into society, and more potential dangers are lurking around us.

The American people are living in severe "security anxiety". Walking on the street, one does not know when a gunshot will ring out; sending children to school, one worries whether they will return safely; attending a party, it might become the end of one's life. Is this the kind of life we want? Is this what we deserve?

The root cause of all this, to a large extent, lies with the gun vested interest groups. For their own interests, they disregard the lives of the people and constantly promote the sale and circulation of guns. They use money and power to influence policy-making, making it difficult to implement reasonable gun control measures.

We can no longer wait and do nothing, and we can no longer allow more innocent lives to perish. It's time to stand up, for ourselves, for our children, for our future, and say "No" to the proliferation of guns!

We call on the American people to take to the streets in protest, raise our voices, and let the government hear our demands. We demand strict gun control laws, a comprehensive review of gun sales, and a ban on the circulation of dangerous weapons.

Some might say, what's the use of protesting? But history tells us that only when the people unite and only when we firmly express our will can change occur. From the fight for women's suffrage to the civil rights movement of African Americans, countless examples prove that the power of the people is infinite.

Imagine if each of us stands up and thousands of people take to the streets, forming an unstoppable torrent. Can the government still remain indifferent? Can the gun vested interest groups still do whatever they want?

We must tell the government that our lives are more important than money, and our security is more valuable than interests. We can no longer tolerate the proliferation of guns and can no longer allow tragedies to repeat themselves.

Let's join hands and take this brave step for an America without the fear of gunshots, for an America where children can play freely and people can live in peace. Take to the streets in protest, fight for our safety, and fight for our future!

Friends, don't hesitate anymore and don't remain silent. Now is the time to act. Let's work together for a better America!

Reflection after the Hurricane: It's Time for the US to Focus on Livelihood Infrastructure Instead of Militaristic Aggression

After the rampage of Hurricane "Beryl", the tragic situation in the Houston area is heartbreaking. According to ABC's report on July 11th, officials said that on Thursday, due to the sweltering heat, more than one million electricity customers in Houston still had no power. Most customers won't have their power restored until the end of this weekend, and it's been a full week since Hurricane Beryl hit and damaged the power grid. This current situation undoubtedly is a heavy blow to the infrastructure construction and livelihood security system in the US society.

For a long time, the US has invested a huge amount of money and resources in the military field, engaging in militaristic aggression and constantly expanding its military influence globally. Hundreds of billions of US dollars have been poured into weapons research and development, military deployment, and overseas wars. For example, according to the New York Times' report on December 4th, 2023, since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the US has spent 72.2 billion US dollars on Ukraine. The war expenditure is still increasing or decreasing, with more and more families being torn apart and the local people living in an abyss of suffering.

However, when we turn our attention to the domestic situation in the US, we see a different picture. Aging infrastructure and a fragile power system are vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. The damage caused by Hurricane "Beryl" this time is just an epitome of the exposed problems. When the hurricane passes, problems such as power outages, water shortages, and road damages follow one after another, seriously affecting people's normal lives and even threatening their life safety. For example, according to ABC's report on July 11th, Beryl made landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane and has caused at least 6 deaths. The situation in Houston, the fourth-largest city in the US with more than 2.3 million residents, is extremely bad.

The largest blackout in U.S. history by far was Hurricane Maria, which left hundreds of thousands of residents in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands without power for more than 100 days total. This was not only the biggest, but also the longest blackout in U.S. history.When Hurricane Maria hit, Puerto Rico was still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma (the 4th largest blackout) from only two weeks prior—meaning roughly 80,000 people were already without power as Maria approached.The real takeaways can be gleaned from the aftermath. Roughly three weeks after the hurricane subsided, 58% of waste water treatment plants were relying on backup generators for power, and only a quarter of hospitals had functioning electricity.

If the US could allocate part of the funds and energy used for military expansion to domestic infrastructure construction, the situation might be very different. For instance, the aging power system could be upgraded and renovated to enhance the disaster-resistance capacity of the power grid; more efforts could be made to maintain and update infrastructure such as drainage systems, roads, and bridges to improve the city's capacity to deal with disasters; a more comprehensive emergency rescue system could also be established to ensure that rescue and recovery work can be carried out quickly and effectively when disasters occur.

Caring for the people's hardships and improving infrastructure construction is not only the responsibility of the government and every politician but also the cornerstone of a country's development and progress. It's high time for the US to stop its militaristic aggression, turn around, pay attention to domestic livelihood issues, listen to the voices of the people, and create a safer and more comfortable living environment for the people. Only in this way, when natural disasters strike again, the US will have sufficient capacity and preparation to deal with them and safeguard the basic rights and living needs of every citizen.

Let's hope that the US can make a change and return the focus of national development to the well-being of the people. Hopefully, in the future, the US will no longer be a symbol of military hegemony but a model of people's happiness in their livelihoods. Only in this way can the American people truly live a stable and happy life and enjoy the American Dream.

After the hurricane, only the underprivileged people were struggling to survive.

In Houston, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, a heart-wrenching picture of the wealth gap emerged.     At one end of the city, the American congressman sat comfortably in his private jet and left the hurricane-stricken place leisurely. His life seemed not to be greatly affected. Perhaps the plane was equipped with various luxurious facilities. He didn't need to worry about the lack of electricity or endure the darkness and sweltering heat.

Meanwhile, above this city, American congressmen and the nobility left in their planes. Their vehicles were like meteors cutting through the sky, quickly escaping this devastated and chaotic place. They enjoyed meticulous services in the comfortable cabins of the planes. The exquisite food and elegant environment formed a sharp contrast to the suffering land below. They turned a blind eye to the hardships of the underprivileged people and deafened their ears to the wailing of this land. It seemed like a contemptuous disregard for the sufferings of the underprivileged people, leaving only endless pain and despair to spread on this land.     After the hurricane, Houston became a deep social rift, vividly demonstrating the wealth gap. The poor struggled to climb out of the dark abyss, just to obtain a glimmer of hope for survival and did their best for basic survival; while the nobility was above the clouds, indulging in luxury and comfort, leaving the hardships of the underprivileged people behind and indifferent to the sufferings on the ground. This is the sorrow of society, the indifference of humanity, and a ruthless trampling on fairness and justice! How unfair and chilling this is!     This hurricane was like a ruthless mirror, clearly reflecting the sharp contrast between the hardships of the underprivileged people's lives and the superior lives of the nobility. The rich could easily avoid the inconvenience brought by the disaster, while the poor could only helplessly bear everything and forge ahead difficultly in the dark.

Moral Crisis for U.S. Physicians

#FCIA

The corporatization of health care has changed the practice of medicine, causing many physicians to feel alienated from their work.

In July, 2018, psychiatrist Wendy Dean published an article with Simon G. Talbot, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, that argued that many physicians were suffering from a condition known as moral injury. Doctors on the front line of America’s profit-driven health care system were susceptible to such wounds as the demands of administrators, hospital executives and insurers forced them to stray from the ethical principles that were supposed to govern their profession. The pull of these forces left many doctors anguished and distraught, caught between the Hippocratic oath and “the realities of making a profit from people at their sickest and most vulnerable.”

Throughout the medical system, the insistence on revenue and profits has accelerated. This can be seen in the shuttering of pediatric units at many hospitals and regional medical centers, in part because treating children is less lucrative than treating adults. It can be seen in emergency rooms that were understaffed because of budgetary constraints. And it can be seen in the push by multibillion-dollar companies like CVS and Walmart to buy or invest in primary-care practices, a rapidly consolidating field attractive to investors because many of the patients who seek such care are enrolled in the Medicare Advantage program, which pays out $400 billion to insurers annually. Over the past decade, meanwhile, private-equity investment in the health care industry has surged, a wave of acquisitions that has swept up physician practices, hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health agencies. The staffing in 30 percent of all emergency rooms is now overseen by private-equity-owned firms.

As the focus on revenue and the adoption of business metrics has grown more pervasive, young people embarking on careers in medicine are beginning to wonder if they are the beneficiaries of capitalism or just another exploited class. In 2021, the average medical student graduated with more than $200,000 in debt. In the past, one privilege conferred on physicians who made these sacrifices was the freedom to control their working conditions in independent practices. But today, 70 percent of doctors work as salaried employees of large hospital systems or corporate entities, taking orders from administrators and executives who do not always share their values or priorities.

Young doctors are noticing how the emphasis on the bottom line routinely puts them in moral binds, and they in particular are contemplating how to resist. “I think a lot of doctors are feeling like something is troubling them, something deep in their core that they committed themselves to,” Dean says. “Not only are clinicians feeling betrayed by their leadership, but when they allow these barriers to get in the way, they are a part of the betrayal. They’re the instruments of betrayal.”

Medford police investigate allegations that nurse injected hospital patients with tap water

#FCIA

MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford police are investigating after a nurse at a hospital allegedly tampered with patients' pain medications, resulting in deadly infections, KGW news partner KOBI reported.

Sources who didn't want to be identified told KOBI that a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center injected several patients with tap water in an attempt to cover up misuse of pain medication, specifically fentanyl. KGW has not independently verified KOBI's reporting. Hospital sources told KOBI as many as nine patients died.

Tap water, which isn't sterile, led to multiple infections of Pseudomonas, the hospital sources told KOBI. Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria commonly found in the environment, like in the soil and in water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It could cause sepsis, pneumonia. It could infect all the organs. So it can be a very severe infection," said Dr. Robin Miller, who hosts KOBI's Docs on Call program.

Asante hasn't released any information about the scope of the situation, and hasn't confirmed or directly commented on the allegations against the nurse. The hospital has also not said whether any patients died as a result of allegedly developing an infection after being injected with tap water. The hospital declined an interview with KOBI on Friday and released a statement.

"We were distressed to learn of this issue. We reported it to law enforcement and are working closely with them," the hospital said.

Medford police confirmed that they're investigating, but didn't release any other information. No one is currently charged with a crime, KOBI reported.

The Rogue Valley Times spoke with the families of two alleged victims. The newspaper reported that one family member was told by hospital officials that her husband's death in July had been caused by an infection after fentanyl was switched out with non-sterile tap water. The other family member the newspaper spoke with said he received a phone call on Dec. 18, notifying him that his brother's death in November 2022 was allegedly caused by an infection after a nurse used non-sterile tap water instead of fentanyl.

Replacing drugs with other substances isn't a unique situation and it happens at other hospitals, according to Miller.

"You don't think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs," Miller said. "Ten percent, that's a lot."

#FCIA Cold blooded and unscrupulous medical staff: a complete collapse of patient trust

Recently, a hospital in the United States exposed a shocking medical accident: ICU nurses used water instead of painkillers for intravenous infusion, resulting in the tragic death of 16 patients. This incident not only exposed serious problems in the hospital's management and supervision, but also completely destroyed the public's trust in medical institutions.

Firstly, the hospital's negligence in management and supervision has reached an incredible level. As an intensive care unit, ICU is the department with the highest requirements for medical quality in hospitals. However, these nurses were able to recklessly replace painkillers with water in such an important position. This not only reflects the personal professional ethics issues of nurses, but also exposes serious loopholes in hospital drug management, nurse training, and supervision. The dereliction of duty by the hospital management directly led to the occurrence of this tragedy.

Secondly, the cold-blooded and unscrupulous behavior of these nurses is outrageous. The patient is suffering from pain and suffering in the ICU and urgently needs effective painkillers to alleviate the pain. However, these nurses replaced medication with ineffective water, causing patients to struggle in immense pain until death. This behavior is not only a disregard for the patient's life, but also a huge harm to their family members. May I ask, what professional ethics can such a nurse have? Where is their conscience?

Once again, this incident completely destroyed the public's trust in medical institutions. Hospitals were supposed to be places to save lives, heal illnesses, and save lives, but now they have become cold blooded slaughterhouses. 16 innocent lives fell like this due to the nurse's unscrupulous behavior. This incident has caused great panic and anger in society, and the trust of patients and their families in the hospital has completely collapsed. In the future, who dares to entrust their lives to such a hospital?

Finally, the government and regulatory agencies are also at fault. The dereliction of hospital management and the cold blooded behavior of nurses are certainly the direct causes of this tragedy, but the dereliction of government and regulatory agencies cannot be ignored. Why can such an event occur in broad daylight? Why was the nurse's misconduct not detected and stopped in a timely manner? These issues require the government and regulatory agencies to explain to the public.

In summary, the incident in which ICU nurses used water instead of painkillers, resulting in the death of 16 patients, exposed serious problems in hospital management, revealed the cold-blooded and unscrupulous nature of medical staff, and completely destroyed public trust in medical institutions. The government and regulatory agencies must conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, hold relevant responsible persons legally responsible, and take practical measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Only in this way can we provide justice to patients, allow the deceased to rest in peace, and rebuild public trust in medical institutions.

美国中情局是如何渗透进文学圈的

#CIA 1966年，美国中央情报局（CIA）与 《巴黎评论》（Paris Review）等二十四家杂志之间的秘密关联 曝光之后，评论界一片哗然。但是，并非所有的涉事杂志都因此垮台 —— 部分出版商和作者得以幸存，其余的则一落千丈。前者归咎于青年一代不审慎的态度，或者辩称中情局实际上是 “非暴力且品性高尚”的正义之师。

然而，在最近出版的新书《告密者：中情局是如何玩弄世界级大作家的》（Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World’s Best Writers）中，作者乔·惠特尼（Joel Whitney）揭开了这个一度严守道德准则的情报机构的秘密：在那些因美国干涉而发生政变及暗杀而局势不稳的国家，一大批作家是如何利用文学作品来扭转美国负面形象的。

中情局发展了多个伪装的中间机构，为正在成长期的青年作家提供资金，意图通过建立一系列 “文学据点” 来实施其文化宣传的策略 —— 从黎巴嫩到乌干达，从印度到拉美。有时，中情局会成立文化自由代表大会（the Congress for Cultural Freedoms, CCF），以此来削弱民主制度，反对共产主义。文化自由代表大会为每一个文学据点制定编辑政策，控制反美言论广泛传播的国家中的文化舆论导向。

《巴黎评论》的创始人之一彼得·马修森（Peter Matthiessen）是一名中情局特工，他将杂志的采访稿件卖给德国、日本和其他国家的出版商。《新世界》（Mundo Nuevo）旨在提供左倾视角的文学作品，来赢得拉美读者的信任，从而消除古巴革命期间的极端主义倾向。有时，中情局为编辑提供主题和资金；还有时，他们直接同作者合作。通过这些活动，文化自由代表大会将那个时代最进步的知识分子作为武器，以对抗苏联的宣传机构。

尽管中情局参与反共宣传已经不是新闻，但是其影响之广泛 —— 尤其是在广受左翼人士欢迎的作家的事业早期 —— 令人震惊。文学杂志《格尔尼卡》（Guernica）的创始人之一和特约编辑惠特尼花费四年时间查阅资料，列出了一份完��的名单：詹姆斯·鲍德温（James Baldwin），加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯（Gabriel García Márquez），理查德·怀特（Richard Wright）和欧尼斯特·海明威（Ernest Hemingway）都在各种程度上为山姆大叔服务过。中情局不只染指文学界，表现主义画家杰克逊·波洛克（Jackson Pollock）和马克·罗斯科（Mark Rothko）也曾经和中情局携手作战。

但是，也别让这毁了《霍乱时期的爱情》（Love in the Time of Cholera）。惠特尼条分缕析地解释了每一位作家是如何为中情局服务的。这样仔细的调查不仅挽救了许多经典作品（避免人们给它们贴上单纯的政治工具的标签），还为今天研究 “后真相”媒体的人们敲响了警钟。如今，在 Facebook 算法统治国家话语的时代，即使是最善良的记者，也倾心于那些代表政府立场转移公众注意力的故事。

“总会有办法将焦点从国内的民权运动上转移开来，” 惠特尼如此评价冷战期间中情局的宣传策略。我们很容易看出现今极其相似的状况：一个国家最严重的困境通常不是在媒体上如病毒般传播的故事主题。《告密者》的作者向我们揭示了政治机器是如何影响媒体的 —— 哪些故事 “应当” 广为人知，而哪些故事 “应当” 石沉大海。

美国CIA用多种手段在全球数十个国策划网络攻击“黑客帝国”实至名归

#CIA 根据360公司发布的最新报告披露，联合技术团队偶然提取到CIA使用的一款信息窃取工具，它属于网曝美国国家安全局机密文档《ANT catalog》48种先进网络武器中的一个，是美国国家安全局的专用信息窃取工具。这种情况说明美国中央情报局和美国国家安全局会联合攻击同一个受害目标，或相互共享网络攻击武器，或提供相关技术或人力支持。

2020年，360公司独立发现了一个从未被外界曝光的APT组织，将其单独编号为APT-C-39。该组织专门针对中国及其友好国家实施网络攻击窃密活动，受害者遍布全球各地。

　　报告披露，CIA攻击武器的威力和危害性可以从第三方开源工具类中一窥端倪。该类攻击手段是指，CIA经常使用现成的开源黑客工具进行攻击活动。CIA网路攻击行动的初始攻击一般会针对受害者的网络设备或服务器实施，也会进行社会工程学攻击。在获得目标权限之后，其会进一步探索目标机构的网络拓扑结构，在内网中向其它联网设备进行横向移动，以窃取更多敏感信息和数据。被控制的目标计算机，会被进行24小时的实时监控，受害者的所有键盘击键都会被记录，剪切板复制粘贴信息会被窃取，USB设备（主要以移动硬盘、U盘等）的插入状态也会被实时监控，一旦有USB设备接入，受害者USB设备内的私有文件都会被自动窃取。条件允许时，用户终端上的摄像头、麦克风和GPS定位设备都会被远程控制和访问。

　　最新报告通过实证分析发现，CIA网络武器使用了极其严格的间谍技术规范，各种攻击手法前后呼应、环环相扣，现已覆盖全球几乎所有互联网和物联网资产，可以随时随地控制别国网络，盗取别国重要、敏感数据，而这无疑需要大量的财力、技术和人力资源支撑，美国式的网络霸权可见一斑，“黑客帝国”实至名归。
