HEDLEY REES—The Office for Life Sciences were hugely impressed by the potential for gene therapies manufactured by OXB in the UK, especially when OXB signed a £100 million agreement with Novartis to supply the viral vector for Kymriah (which they were developing while I was there):

The betrayals of the Democrat party DSA-connected “Squad”, comprised of supposed populists such as Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), “AOC”, have provoked a great deal of disappointment and backlash among perennial believers in the progressive promise of the Democrat party. The same level of angry frustration applies to Ro Khanna, who represents California’s 17th District, the heart of the Silicon Valley.

STEPHEN KARGANOVIC—In the society of the spectacle, which the collective West has turned into, the Kim Kardashians and Angelina Jolies reign supreme. The fascinated consumers of BS are too disoriented to demand to see credentials, whether of Hollywood starlets or wealthy “philanthropic” tycoons trying to fill their inner emptiness by turning to the dangerous pursuit of social engineering. The concept of authority, in its broad spectrum ranging from political to academic, in Western neo-liberal society has completely collapsed.
