American Medical Association Demands Merrick Garland Begin Intimidating Critics of Transgender Surgeries and Prosecute Journalists for "Disinformation," All in the Guise of Stopping "Threats"

This is what the National School Boards Association did last year -- in order to intimidate political opponents who protested their policies of pushing transgender grooming on children, they conspired with Merrick Garland to label concerned parents exercising their political rights to speak up at school board meetings as "domestic terrorists" and open investigations into them.

And now the American Medical Association demands Merrick Garland do the same for anyone opposing irreversible chemical castration or surgical amputations for children.

But the AMA has really escalated the game -- they're demanding the FBI wage open warfare against journalists like Christopher Rufo who are producing information The Regime wants kept out of the public view.

Think he'll comply and start siccing the FBI on another foe of a militant leftwing client group and imposing a Stasi-enforced silence on critics of the left? Because I sure do.

We're in the endgame now, folks.

Christopher Rufo reports on the AMA's demand that the FBI and DOJ throw him in jail:

Christopher F. Rufo @realchrisrufo

BREAKING: The American Medical Association is asking Big Tech and the Department of Justice to censor, deplatform, investigate, and prosecute journalists who question the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries for minors, arguing that public criticism is "disinformation.

Of course the corrupt AMA, which only represents 17% of all doctors, supported Obamacare -- despite most actual doctors opposing it.

I say when we get a Republican president and a Republican DOJ and a Republican congress, we probe these motherf***ers and look at their books and their donors. And we prosecute them if we find anyone's taking any money we think looks sketchy.

Christopher F. Rufo @realchrisrufo

This is now the Left's playbook: last year, the National School Board Association, Department of Justice, and F.B.I. worked together to label parents who opposed critical race theory "domestic terrorists." They want to stifle dissent, suppress speech, and criminalize opposition.

We need to our local fascism expert @jasonintrator [a leftwinger always accusing the right of imposing "fascism" despite not actually being in control of the government] to let us know if a collaboration between the state security services and the largest corporations to silence political opposition is "fascism" -- or if that's moot because the current president isn't orange-colored.

The morality of this situation is blindingly clear:

* Threatening hospitals is wrong.
* Censoring journalists is wrong.
* Criminalizing political opposition is wrong.

The four stages of radical gender surgeries for minors:

1. It's not happening.

2. It's good that it's happening.

3. It's empowering when we say it's happening, but disinformation when you say it's happening.

4. The F.B.I. should put you in prison for quoting us saying it's happening.

Yes, it always goes that way. There is also no such thing as an affirmative action hire, until white liberals want to give each other awards for making affirmative action hires. But if you then say "You're giving each other awards for affirmative action hires," they call you a racist for noticing the awards under their arms.

And now they want to throw you in jail for noticing.

Children's hospitals: "We give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries."

Conservatives: "They give children puberty blockers, hormones, and gender surgeries."

The regime: "That's harmful disinformation and should be censored, criminalized, and suppressed."

David Strom notes this:

It... reveals what we all knew to be true, which is that the medical establishment is working diligently with the social media companies to silence their critics--and the social media companies are happy to do so. As I noted before my Facebook account was restricted the day after I started writing for HotAir. But my punishment for dissent is nothing compared to what others have suffered.

He notes that LibsofTikTok has been suspended again, for reporting Facts which The Regime has declared to be BadFacts.

Always remember:

Some of us said that the time was short and we were well past the time for f***ing about. Some of us knew What Time It Was (and Is).

Some -- the NeverTrumpers, Conservative, Inc. -- swore that progressives hadn't really changed at all, and it was only conservatives who had changed and gotten Mean and Unreasonable, and that we could win and Restore Norms by changing our behavior to be more accommodating, and then the left would treat us better and then we just need to pass one more Corporate Tax Rate Reduction Package and it would all be 2003 Again.

Always remember. NeverTrump and Conservative, Inc. are always talking about "accountability" for Trump but they never, ever will take accountability for their own lies and catastrophic errors of judgment.

Note: I said the AMA took money to claim that sugar was "heart healthy." I think now I was thinking of the American Heart Association, not the AMA.

This kind of thing was pretty widespread, with doctors routinely publishing absurd studies paid for by Sugar Lobby to claim that sugar wasn't linked to either heart disease or even -- get this -- obesity.

But I can't say the AMA took money to spread this false claim. I correct and retract.

Unless/until I can review Gary Taubes' book about sugar and review this topic again.
