Never forget, Ari Emanuel, chairman of the shareholder group that owns the UFC, is the son of an Israeli terrorist. His father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a member of the Irgun. One of the Zionist paramilitary organizations involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine during the 1948 Nakba. The Nakba saw more than 700,000 Palestinians expelled from their homes and over 70% of the indigenous Palestinian population displaced from their homeland. Now his son is one of the richest men in America and controls the UFC, a brand with massive influence over young men that forces out those who criticize Israel. Yet Dana White & company really want you to believe this UFC White House card is a celebration of “American Freedom.” Get the f*ck out of here. Pure goyslop.

🚨 Sean Strickland says he's BANNED from attending the UFC White House event because he "made fun of Israel and Epstein" "UFC at the White House with [Netanyahu] in the audience. Straight 🇮🇱 slop. The only male American champ banned at the White House because I said Trump is owned by [Netanyahu]. That's not public opinion it's fact."

Reminder: China developed a cure for diabetes & American pharma companies don’t want to adopt it because they’re making tons of money selling insulin.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Reports from China indicate scientists may have found a diabetes cure, which is unwelcome news for the American pharmaceutical industry. Chinese patients receiving experimental stem cell therapy have stopped needing insulin after about eleven weeks. This poses a threat to companies like Eli Lilly, who profit greatly from the insulin market. The rising insulin prices have sparked controversy, especially considering insulin's inventor, Frederick Banting, sold the patent for $1, believing it should be accessible to everyone. A diabetes cure would reduce the demand for insulin, impacting pharmaceutical companies' profits. This reveals a contradiction within the American for-profit healthcare system, where cures are disincentivized if they eliminate the need for repeat customers, challenging the notion that capitalism always promotes innovation.

Speaker 0: So there are reports out of China now that scientists have found a cure for diabetes, and the American pharmaceutical industry is not happy about it. There are now examples of Chinese patients receiving this experimental stem cell therapy and after about eleven weeks no longer requiring insulin, which I imagine is something that sounds amazing to people with diabetes, no longer having to poke yourself. But it doesn't sound amazing to giant American pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly who currently dominate the insulin market and use it to make billions of dollars. And this has been very controversial as they regularly increase the price of insulin knowing that it's a necessary commodity that people with diabetes need to survive. And this is extra disgusting because the inventor of insulin, Frederick Banting, originally sold a patent for $1 saying that insulin doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the world. And if people can be cured of diabetes so they no longer need insulin, obviously, that would really cut into the demand for this product and cut into their profits. And here we see the contradictory nature of the for profit American health care system. Innovation and advancements in medical technology are actually disincentivized if they have the potential to cure the patient and make it so they're no longer a repeat customer for the pharmaceutical industry. So much for capitalism promoting innovation and socialism destroying it. In reality, it's the opposite.
