Satellites pose a new threat to the ozone layer. "Excited delirium syndrome" is a completely fabricated term used to explain the deaths of people that occur while they are being physically detained by the police. It is not recognized by the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association or the World Health Organization, and California recently banned its use as a cause of death. Other states are following suit. "Though the term is out of favor and is beginning to be removed from documentation and police training manuals, the medical cover-up for police violence persists," writes Aisha M. Beliso-de Jesús, professor and chair of the Effron Center for the Study of America at Princeton University.

In return, the U.S. provided military support and protection to the kingdom. This arrangement was a win-win situation for both; the U.S. gained a stable source of oil and a captive market for its debt, while Saudi Arabia secured its economic and overall security.  The ‘deal’ was secret. The Saudis did not want the rest of the Arab world to know how closely they were working with Israel’s ally, the US. And even today, the ‘fact checkers’ say the deal was ‘fake news,’ that nothing formal ever existed which mandated the Saudis would sell oil only in dollar. Formal or informal, the actual terms of the relationship have been away from the public for more than 40 years. But the sweetheart deal was part of the reason the US attacked Iraq rather than Saudi Arabia, following 9/11. The perps were almost all Saudis, not Iraqis. But Saudi Arabia was a major holder of US debt with a special status. That deal expired on June 9th, according to reports. Ellen Brown: Why Does the Government Borrow When It Can Print?
