Help Us, Obi Wan Pete-obe - You're Our Only Hope

The United Kingdom announced this week that it is pulling the pin on an experiment that may have had adverse effects on children's bone density, cognitive performance, emotional stability, and future fertility. National Health Service England announced in March that minors would no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at so-called gender-identity clinics, stating, "We have concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of [puberty-suppressing hormones] to make the treatment routinely available at this time." Months later, then-British Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Victoria Atkin used emergency powers "to ban puberty blockers for new treatments of gender dysphoria from private clinics and for all purposes from overseas prescribers into Great Britain." The ban on private sales goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. On Wednesday, the British Department of Health and Social Care announced that existing emergency measures banning the sale and supply of puberty blockers "will be made indefinite, following official advice from medical experts," in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. "The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) has provided independent expert advice that there is currently an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children. It recommends indefinite restrictions while work is done to ensure the safety of children and young people," the department said in a release. 'Puberty blockers are powerful drugs with unproven benefits and significant risks.' Blaze News previously reported that the drugs in question, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists, also known as GnRHa, have long been used to chemically castrate sex offenders. According to the medical advocacy group Do No Harm's Stop the Harm database, between 2019 and 2023, at least 13,994 American minors underwent sex-change treatments and over 8,500 received hormones and puberty blockers. The Free Press noted in August that the leading provider of sex-change hormones for young adults in the United States is Planned Parenthood. Puberty blockers, rebranded for kids with gender confusion, have been characterized as safe and effective by LGBT activists and pharmaceutical reps. This narrative did not, however, survive the release of the Cass Review earlier this year, at least on the other side of the Atlantic. Dr. Hilary Cass, an acclaimed British medical doctor who previously served as president of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, was commissioned by NHS England to investigate the U.K. sex-change regime and its youth-facing services. The penetrating investigation revealed that where so-called gender science is concerned, "there is not a reliable evidence base upon which to make clinical decisions, or for children and their families to make informed choices." Extra to pointing out that so-called gender-science is largely based on research of "poor quality," demonstrating "poor study design, inadequate follow-up periods and a lack of objectivity in reporting of results," the Cass Review demolished the case for using puberty blockers, stressing the uses "are unproven and benefits/harms are unknown." The review found not only that puberty blockers compromise bone density but have no apparent impact on so-called gender dysphoria. Dr. Cass said of the indefinite ban, "I support the government's decision to continue restrictions on the dispensing of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria outside the NHS where these essential safeguards are not being provided." "Puberty blockers are powerful drugs with unproven benefits and significant risks, and that is why I recommended that they should only be prescribed following a multi-disciplinary assessment and within a research protocol," added Dr. Cass. 'Children's healthcare must always be evidence-led.' James Palmer, the NHS medical director for specialized services, stated, "Evidence reviews by NICE and NHS England, supported by Dr Cass, clearly showed there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty suppressing hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria or incongruence, which is why the NHS decided that they would no longer be routinely offered to children and young people." Rather than loading confused kids up with transmogrifying drugs and removing body parts, the British health system is now focused on offering holistic support and working with patients on mental health. Wes Streeting, the current health and social care secretary, stated, "Children's healthcare must always be evidence-led. The independent expert Commission on Human Medicines found that the current prescribing and care pathway for gender dysphoria and incongruence presents an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people." "Dr. Cass' review also raised safety concerns around the lack of evidence for these medical treatments," continued Streeting. "We need to act with caution and care when it comes to this vulnerable group of young people, and follow the expert advice." While Britain has grown wise to the potential risks of puberty blockers, the money and ideology-driven regime stateside has not similarly been dealt a national blow. Dr. Cass blasted certain American medical associations in a May New York Times interview, suggesting that the American Academy of Pediatrics, for instance — which has repeatedly lashed out against Republican-led states for protecting children from child sex-change mutilations — has held "on to a position that is now demonstrated to be out of date by multiple systematic reviews." Cass suggested it "wouldn't be too much of a problem if people were saying, 'This is clinical consensus and we're not sure.' But what some organizations are doing is doubling down on saying the evidence is good. I think that's where you're misleading the public." Of the 28 states where Republicans control the legislature, 24 red states have successfully passed bans to protect children from puberty blockers, hormone therapies, or sex-change mutilations, reported the New York Times. Robert Hinkle, a Clinton-nominated federal judge, suggested that such Republicans had actually acted on "old-fashioned discriminatory animus." The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments last week about a puberty blocker ban in Tennessee. Should the high court uphold the ban when issuing its decision in United States v. Skrmetti sometime next year, similar bans will be reinforced across the country. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

America is thirsty for blood. I’m not talking about most Americans, but rather a loud, dangerous minority that relishes chaos and bloodshed. They’re treating an alleged murderer like a hero because it fits their twisted narrative. The alleged murderer I’m referring to is the man who recently allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. You know his name. The media has made sure of that. But stop saying his name. Stop making him a hero. Stop making him famous. We don’t glorify killers. This alleged killer isn’t Robin Hood. He didn’t take from the corrupt to give to the poor. He didn’t stand against tyranny. The press claim they’re against promoting the names of mass shooters — unless, of course, the shooter can be tied to conservative ideologies. But this alleged killer is a manifestation of Marxist rage, and his name is being plastered all over the media — and even celebrated. Late-night host Stephen Colbert spent a large portion of his show highlighting the alleged killer’s “manifesto,” giving it airtime — and credence — that it should never be given. “He could’ve just made it a Yelp review,” Colbert quipped. “‘American health care sucks. One star.’” Why did the media cover up the Nashville shooter’s manifesto that explains why the disturbed 28-year-old woman who identified as a man shot three 9-year-olds and three teachers? This goes beyond glorifying bloodshed. It’s about promoting the Marxist ideology of destruction and vengeance. The 20th century saw a series of Marxist revolutions where radicals dragged the bourgeoisie into the streets and executed them. That’s what is happening now. Years ago, when I was still with Fox News, I warned that the media’s adoration for radical activists would eventually backfire. I said, “They’ll pull you out of your cute little anchor seats and beat you to death in the streets of New York.” Sound extreme? Look around. That’s exactly what this alleged killer’s supporters want. They’re not seeking justice. They’re seeking revenge. Where was the left’s outrage against Big Pharma? The media’s alleged outrage against the health care industry that apparently justifies their lauding of Brian Johnson’s alleged killer is just as hypocritical as it is radical. How many people did we lose to COVID? How many families watched their grandparents die over FaceTime, unable to say goodbye in person? How many people lost loved ones because of government incompetence, health care bureaucracy, and flat-out lies? We know who’s responsible: Anthony Fauci, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Big Pharma, and our own federal government. They told us the vaccines were effective. They weren’t. They made up guidelines and rules that destroyed lives. Governors forced COVID patients into nursing homes where thousands died because of those decisions. Where’s the outrage? But here’s the point: How many Americans picked up a gun and sought revenge against Big Pharma during COVID? How many people went after government officials or health care executives with violence? None. Because that is not what Americans do. We don’t settle our grievances with violence. We demand justice through the rule of law. We don’t descend into mob rule. Vigilante justice is Marxist justice We’re seeing vigilante justice now because our institutions are broken. Deny justice long enough and some people will take matters into their own hands. But let’s be clear: This isn’t justice. This is the beginning of tyranny. In Marxist regimes, violence becomes the language of the oppressed. This alleged killer isn’t Robin Hood. He didn’t take from the corrupt to give to the poor. He didn’t stand against tyranny. Robin Hood fought against a corrupt government that was stealing from the people. This man didn’t fight tyranny; he embodied it. He brought fear, violence, and chaos. That’s what Marxism does. When Americans face injustice, we don’t riot. We don’t kill. We act. We organize. We vote. We change the system through peaceful means. We’re slow to anger, but when we’ve had enough, we get off our couches, go to the ballot box, and say, “Enough is enough.” The solution isn’t violence. It’s accountability. Hold the government accountable for its failures. Demand that our health care system serves people, not profits. Reject Marxist calls for blood and embrace the rule of law. This bloodlust we’re seeing is not American. It’s a cancer. And if we don’t root it out now, it will consume us. Want more from Glenn Beck?
