New York Attorney General Leticia James was alerted of a conspiracy to suppress life-saving pharmaceutical drugs in 2019, but chose to ignore credible whistleblower warnings in favor of building her lawfare case for Donald Trump.

Whistleblower Patrick Girondi has been fighting for decades on a cure for beta thalassemia, a disease negatively affecting the production of hemoglobin in the afflicted, after the disease was discovered in his two-year-old son, Rocco. Girondi was an early investor in gene therapy, coming up with a treatment for beta thalassemia as well as sickle-cell anemia, a similar disease that is prevalent among black people.

James looked the other way after she was presented with the evidence by Girondi, preferring to use her resources to build a bogus case against President Trump instead of using her authority to clamp down on corporate corruption that is keeping life-saving drugs out of the hands of black people across New York.

THE BACKSTORY

Girondi’s quest began after his son Rocco was diagnosed with beta thalassemia and not expected to live past the age of 14. Presently, Rocco is forced to get blood transfusions every 18 days and takes 10 pills each day to prevent toxic iron from building up in his blood and organs as the potential cure is suppressed from him and the public.

After his son’s diagnosis, Girondi became an unlikely pioneer in the controversial field of gene therapy, which was looked at as “science fiction” in the 1990s and early 2000s. Girondi made stunning progress in the field, and he eventually caught the eyes of the corporate giants as he hoped to mainstream his work. He was locked into a long legal battle with the gene-therapy firm Bluebird Bio and the Sloan Kettering Institute (SKI), the research facility connected to the renowned cancer treatment center.

Girondi’s firm, Errant Gene Therapeutics, alleged in court documents that they were coerced by SKI into divulging details on a potentially groundbreaking treatment. Girondi gave an important vector to SKI in 2010 under false pretenses, believing that it would help move the treatment forward to clinical trials. The SKI then buried his treatment in favor of Bluebird Bio’s more expensive treatment.

Girondi believes the problems began in 2010 when a new President and CEO of Sloan Kettering with a financial conflict of interest rose to the position. Dr. Craig B. Thompson served as the President and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 2010 to 2022. Dr. Thompson has deep ties to Third Rock Ventures, the venture capital fund responsible for financing Bluebird.

Court proceedings have repeatedly vindicated Girondi, who was cynically discredited and painted as insane by corporate insiders. Bluebird admitted in a Nov. 2010 presentation that one of the positives of partnering with SKI is that the deal “eliminates the most threatening competitor.” Another email disclosed to the public talked about the “need to shut…down” Girondi.

Greed is the obvious factor behind suppressing this treatment. Bluebird Bio was able to raise the treatment price to $3.1 million per patient from $750,000-$800,000 offered by Girondi’s firm. Because Girondi’s therapy was suppressed, they are able to rake in countless more billions worth of profits for their shareholders at the direct expense of patients who are squeezed and forced to suffer and die if they cannot bear the immense cost.

Girondi describes the corporate CEOs who he has dealt with as “criminal insider traders.” His tale is all too familiar in the era of corporate capture of regulatory firms. Countless byzantine regulations mandated by the federal government serve as a legal labyrinth to stifle innovation, crush the individual and maximize Big Pharma’s profit margins with the court system offering little recourse for those victimized.

“As a whole, [the pharmaceutical industry] is a criminal organization. Why do you think everyone wants to have transgenders? Well, because the poor people have to do hormones that cost anywhere between $3,500 and $10,000 per month. Big Pharma is pushing that,” Girondi said.

LETICIA JAMES’ FAILURE

This is the health regime that has resulted in millions lionizing Luigi Mangione, the alleged assassin accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City street corner. When Girondi approached Leticia James with evidence of this corruption, she had a chance to demonstrate through her actions that black lives matter, standing up to corporate corruption as black lives hung in the balance.

“In 2019, I go to Leticia James. I say, ‘Hey, you got criminals over here.’ I got all the proof, here’s all the proof. Please, they’re costing the lives of sickle cell disease patients. You got to go after them,” Girondi said.

“I am having so many meetings with Leticia James’ office…They keep telling me they don’t have resources…The neediest black lives are Sickle Cell disease patients. You want to forget about going after Trump and let’s go after these bad guys?” Girondi continued.

Leticia James was too enamored with her political agenda, believing that she would be the one who would bring down Donald J. Trump and build her career from that. Unfortunately for her ambitions, James’ attacks on Trump were so overreaching, low IQ and absurd that they alerted many more people to the scope of the lawfare being pursued against Trump, only enhancing his credibility among the electorate and leading to his political comeback in 2024. James lost her chance to be a crusader for the little guy and help black people by pursuing the corporate corruption case against Girondi. Now, she faces potential jail time and will be remembered as one of the most corrupt elected officials in American history. Meanwhile, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged to make gene therapy for sickle cell disease a top priority for his office. The Trump administration has a chance to make right what Leticia James helped make wrong.

Last week, a mistrial was declared in the case of Christopher Schurr, a Grand Rapids police officer who was charged with murder in a politically-charged case that happened near the height of Black Lives Matter mania.

Lloya, 26, was a black man who was shot dead in April 2022 after lunging for Schurr’s taser while violently resisting during what started as a routine traffic stop over Lloya driving with an improper license plate.

In a very familiar scenario, a race mob soon seized upon this case and turned Lloya into a social justice icon. Large protests were held in Grand Rapids and craven prosecutors soon acquiesced to their demands, charging Schurr with second-degree murder despite video existing that demonstrated Schurr’s legitimate use of force.

It took three years for the case to finally be tried, not exactly a speedy trial, but the long delay may have ultimately benefited Schurr’s case. The BLM hysteria has faded. Most have sobered up to realize that George Floyd was a fentanyl-addicted brute. This allowed Schurr to have some semblance of a fair court proceeding.

After 10 hours of jury deliberation, the jurors reported to the judge that they were deadlocked and could not come to a decision. The judge told them to continue deliberating but nothing changed as a result. Prosecutors will have the ability to initiate a new trial for Schurr or simply let the officer return to his life.

Schurr is being hit with a $100 million civil suit by the deceased thug’s family as part of the racial-grievance industry that exists to weaponize and monetize anti-white hate. They are continuing to malign Schurr’s reputation, demanding his scalp to satisfy their warped perception of justice.

“Don’t give up, don’t get tired. We will keep fighting until we get justice. Thank you, thank you so much for standing up with us for all of these three years,” the victim’s father, Peter Lyoya said.

“I want him to know he’s still carrying the blood of Patrick on him and he’s responsible for the blood of Patrick,” Peter Lloya said in an ominous threat to Schurr.

A SMALL VICTORY FOR CONSERVATIVES

Before the case began, a hardcore group of conservatives appeared outside of the courthouse to make it clear that Schurr had support. Dozens of supporters showed up to a press conference and led “Justice for Schurr” chants as legislators and activists rally on behalf of Schurr as he begins a trial that will assuredly draw the national spotlight.

“While someone defending themselves has a moral responsibility to do what they possibly can before eliminating the threat, an ordered society must also defend those who, for the sake of their own life [or] for the sake of the lives of others, must act in a split second to use necessary force to stop their attackers,” said Michigan State Rep. Jim DeSana at the “Stand with Schurr” press conference in Grand Rapids.

“We stand here today to defend life, not to take it. We stand here today with Officer Christopher Schurr,” DeSana added.

“The fact that [Schurr] has been dragged through this trial is in of itself a terrible crime because the evidence shows on video that after a confrontation that preceded for at least four minutes, Patrick Lloya disobeyed every single command the officer gave him,” Adam de Angeli of the Rescue Michigan Coalition said.

A POSSIBLE REMEDY

Rep. DeSana is introducing House Bill 4404 (HB4404), legislation that greatly expands the rights of individuals lawfully using self-defense in the state of Michigan. HB4404 expands exemption from civil liability to include use of deadly force against an individual “who threatens to use deadly force or force other than deadly force in self-defense or defense of another individual.”

HB4404 also grants immunity when a grand jury fails to indict an individual using deadly force in those circumstances, a prosecuting attorney declines to issue a complaint against that individual, a magistrate refuses to issue a summons against that individual, the court discharges that individual, or in cases where a previous acquittal against the individual has occurred. It also gives that individual the ability to sue for lost income or other expenses that arise from frivolous charges.

The passage of state laws like HB4404 are important throughout the country to protect the rule of law and right to self-defense against an anti-civilizational movement that wants to deify criminals, gangbangers, thugs, hoodlums and degenerates on the basis of their skin color.

It’s as if God has a sense of humor.

Imagine getting elected to the 2,000-year-old Chair of St. Peter. You’d become the head of state of an unbroken succession of popes as well as the leader of the world’s largest religion, one watched and followed closely by others, every word you said dissected closely. Your blessings would be sought, you’d deliver the global pieties, you’d avoid grubby politics, focusing on the tenets of your faith.

But then, you have these guys behind you, your two brothers, at least one of whom loves himself some Trump.

It’s pretty fun, actually, given that the pope is trying to keep himself a bit of a mystery, a man for all people, a man above the political fray.

Here are some of older brother Lou’s tweets:

So he’s totally normal, working class American, just like the rest of us, part of the Catholic majority here who obviously voted for President Trump. And the fact that the brothers seem to be fairly close as family members pretty well confirms to us normals also that that is the kind of talk the new pope heard around his house growing up. He wasn’t a rarified intellectual, he knew very well what the smell of the sheep was, because he had his brothers.

Here’s one of the funnier vignettes from his election, on the phone with his brother John trying to tell him he’s now the pope:

When Pope Leo XIV was first elected, I expressed hope that his exposure to the ordinary people of Peru would probably ensure that he wasn’t a leftist wokester of the liberation theology stripe, because ordinary Peruvians often can sound like Trump voters.

As it happens, he didn’t need to go that far, they were right there in his own family. While I doubt he is as conservative as Lou is, he’s probably more conservative than he lets on, given the wokester atmosphere of the Vatican during the time of Pope Francis, where it would not have been tolerated, and he least knows and understands conservatives, which seemed to be a big problem for Pope Francis, who didn’t seem to have ever been exposed to them. There are reports that he, too, was a registered Republican, and voted in the last election.

The brothers, while chatty with the press, are pretty careful to protect him. Being conservatives, they clearly know what the mainstream media is about and do not give them anything they can hang on him, which is what they are looking for.

Brother Lou said he hadn’t heard from his brother, and actually wondered if based on his new position, he would ever get to talk with him again. If the pope is distancing himself from his brother because of his tweets, that won’t be a good thing. But if he eventually talks to him, away from the press, which was what interrupted the first call, it will be all good for the rest of us.

I think he will. And if so, it’s a reassuring thing for those of us in the U.S. that he’s not a crazed Trump-hater and has actually been around conservatives, which is a lot more than a lot of them can say.

Fox New host Raymond Arroyo predicts that Pope Leo XIV will probably get along better with President Trump than anyone can imagine, and with brothers like that, the rest of us have ample reason for reassurance that he’s not in that little leftist bubble so many of them are, based on we have seen in the past several years. Trump might even contact the brothers for the best advice on how to deal with the new pope. Who would be better?

Yes, it seems God has a sense of humor.
