TLDR: quack healer gets a woman do stop taking her insulin, while shes screaming in pain he fails to call for medical assistance and she dies.

The good news: GUILTY

The bad news: not the first 'patient' this quack has killed, the last one was a 6 yr old boy who died a few years ago because secret kung-fu master slapping healer told the child's mother to stop giving him insulin. (and presumably to slap him until he's bruised all over instead)

top tip if your doctor obtained his skills like this....

Xiao described how he had learned paida lajin from kung fu masters and hermits in the mountains of China and had spread the “forgotten” method to “millions” of people around the world.

then you are not receiving medical aid and if you are ill, you're going to die.

Xiao said the deaths of the boy in Australia and Carr-Gomm had led to paida lajin being “demonised” and he suggested it had deliberately been discredited by “western doctors” and alternative practitioners because it put them out of work.

The only way this bullshit quackery puts western doctors out of work is by killing patients they could have worked on saving.

Paida lajin involves either being slapped, or slapping yourself until your skin turns red and bruises. So not only did this asshole let two patients die, he made sure they were beaten up as part of the process because I guarantee you that 6yr old wasnt slapping the bruises into himself.

For example, Mr Xiao recommends getting autistic children to engage in "group slapping games" and hit one another on their limbs, head, hands and feet.

"Do not panic seeing colourful patches of sha, lumps and swelling at the slapped areas. These are good healing reactions," his site states.

What happens at a slapping workshop?

'Sha' is the quakery term for red skin and bruises, they suggest that if you show these reactions when you are hit enough then its a sign of 'latent diseases' in your blood and that you are healing. Hit anyone enough and they will bruise, except for his dead patients of course. Pretty sure you stop bruising after death, what with the whole no blood flow and everything.

Thank you for joining us. Here are the key takeaways from the protests in the aftermath of the Venezuela election:

• Thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas to protest what they say is President Nicolas Maduro’s fraudulent win
• The opposition says voting tabulations show Edmundo González obtained 6.2 million votes against 2.8 million for Maduro

What Machado and other opposition leaders are saying is that they have enough of the voting tallies -- essentially, raw voting data -- to prove they won the election. Last night, they had access to about 40% of them, now they say they have over 70% of the so-called “actas”.

The numbers, they say, show a categoric and “mathematically irreversible” triumph.

I can find that video, but posted by others. Can't seem to find it posted by her, Ilona Maher, bronze medal winner, rugby player.

This one includes the actual video instead of picture.

Biden hails prisoner swap freeing Americans from Russia: "Their brutal ordeal is over"

President Biden addressed the nation Thursday after securing the release of American citizens imprisoned in Russia, including Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, saying their "brutal ordeal is over."

All three American citizens are on their way back to the United States, along with U.S. green card holder Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was also freed in the deal. The president appeared alongside family members of all four at the White House on Thursday to announce the deal.

The massive prisoner swap involves 24 prisoners being held in six countries, according to senior administration officials, who described it as the most complex exchange in U.S. and Russian history. The swap took place in Ankara, Turkey. Family members were able to speak with their loved ones on the phone once they were in U.S. custody, Mr. Biden said.

Trump world erupts amid reports Kellyanne Conway trashing JD Vance

Longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway is behind a series of anonymous criticisms over the decision to pick Ohio senator JD Vance as the former president’s running mate, according to a report.

Conway, who managed Trump’s 2016 campaign and served as an official counselor in his White House, allegedly favored Marco Rubio and has been airing criticisms of Vance in the press and among fellow Republicans since, according to twenty people associated with the campaign and larger Trump machine, who spoke with the publication.


The discontent was voiced regularly, including at a meeting at Fox News where Conway allegedly said Trump would choose Vance “over my dead body,” and later criticisms Conway shared while the GOP was in Milwaukee for the nominating convention.


The hits on Vance are “100 percent from Kellyanne,” one unnamed source told The Bulwark.

For her part, Conway denied the allegations in the story.

To me this is a reflection of how out of whack the world is. In particular, here in the US. Really? I live in a quiet town but can't even imagine. Things are different across some parts of the ocean. From The Guardian:
