The caduceus, a traditional symbol for medicine. (Proxima Centauri b Corps via Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 4.0) Commentary
It is not easy to produce a document that is at once unctuous, verbose and ill-written, self-satisfied and self-important, dishonest, sentimental, bullying and sinister, but the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges, with their recent joint 54-page “ Advancing Health Equity : A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts,” has managed it.
The guide is an attempt to change the world by means of changing terminology.
Let us start with the unctuousness that is closely associated with its pervasive dishonesty: “The AAMC and AMA… mourn the loss of life and liberty of millions of others who have historically been oppressed, exploited, excluded, segregated, experimented upon and dehumanized in the U.S. over centuries.”
Here is an attempt at emotional inflation, typical of the moral exhibitionism of our times.

Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
If it is true, as the great French naturalist, Buffon, said, that style is the man himself, what are we to conclude about the authors from a sentence such as the following which appears early in the document?
“The AAMC and AMA… acknowledge the extraction of brilliance, energy, and life for labor forced upon millions of people of African descent for more than 400 years.”When it comes to the use of language, I agree […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
