I. Are COVID Vaccines Accelerating Deadly Cancer Epidemics? By Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading cancer institutions have reported an alarming surge in cancer incidence. Many of the nation’s most respected cancer institutions—including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dana-Farber, MD Anderson, and the Mayo Clinic—have been reporting an alarming surge in cancer incidence. While some attribute this to pandemic-related disruptions in healthcare, emerging patterns suggest these factors alone do not explain the scale or nature of this increase.
Oncologists are observing a phenomenon informally termed "turbo cancers," characterized by aggressive, fast-moving malignancies. These aggressive, fast-moving malignancies are appearing in individuals with no prior history of the disease. They display an accelerated growth previously unseen in clinical oncology and often respond poorly to treatment.
Professor Angus Dalgleish, a respected oncologist, warns that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are "unbelievably dangerous" and actively suppress the T-cell system after booster doses. In his laboratory research, published in Frontiers in Immunology, booster doses were shown to completely shut down the T-cell response thereby rendering patients immunologically vulnerable. He specifically notes a surge in highly aggressive, rapidly progressing "turbo cancers" in his long-term patients after receiving mRNA booster shots.
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a renowned cancer researcher, reports witnessing an unprecedented rise in aggressive cancers among younger populations. He has observed metastatic pancreatic cancer in a 13-year-old boy, which was historically unheard of in his decades of experience. These cases, including colon, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers in individuals as young as 8, 10, and 11 years old, are not isolated and bear the hallmarks of turbo cancers.
Both SARS-CoV-2 infection and mRNA vaccines are hypothesized to cause immune suppression and drive cancer growth. Dr. Soon-Shiong explains that persistent spike protein from either the virus or the vaccines can enter cells via the ACE2 receptor, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and immune cell suppression. Similarly, Professor Dalgleish asserts that mRNA vaccines actively suppress key components of the immune response, notably the T-cell system.
There is documented mounting evidence of a marked rise in cancer incidence between 2022 and 2024, particularly in younger adults. Data from the UK revealed a 6.7% rise in breast cancer diagnoses in 2022, especially among women under 50, and Canada saw breast cancer diagnoses rise by 13% and colorectal cancers by 8% in 2022 among younger adults. These alarming rebounds are disproportionately impacting younger cohorts who traditionally face lower cancer risk and are most observed in highly vaccinated nations.
The authors call for comprehensive, transparent, and independent research into the causal role of SARS-CoV-2 infection and mRNA vaccine exposure in the ongoing cancer epidemic. They emphasize that the evidence can no longer be dismissed as coincidental or attributed solely to healthcare delays. It is scientifically prudent and ethically imperative to mandate, at a bare minimum, a black box warning on these experimental products.
II. Iran: Bombed Back to the Stone Age By Eric S. Margolis
The author claims that a joint Israeli-US attack is currently underway against Iran, with Trump administration denials being false. On his last visit to the Pentagon, the author saw uniformed Israeli Air Force officers embedded with the US Air Force. The US has been providing Israel with precise satellite targeting and electronic intelligence since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, which has given Israel a huge advantage.
Israel alleges Iran is developing nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies, stating its uranium enrichment to 60% purity is for civilian purposes. The author suggests Iran's limited work on nuclear weapons began as a bargaining ploy after Trump broke off nuclear negotiations in 2015. Israel itself possesses close to 100 nuclear warheads deliverable by missiles, aircraft, and submarines.
Historical context shows Iran has been invaded or had its government overthrown by foreign powers multiple times, including by Great Britain, the CIA, and Iraq. In 1979, the US convinced Iraq’s Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, resulting in Iran losing approximately one million soldiers in the ensuing war. The author also discovered British scientists developing germ weapons for use on Iranian forces in 2001, with toxic precursors sourced from the US.
Motivations for attacking Iran include destroying its nuclear industry and fabricating a war to keep Netanyahu in power and divert attention from the Gaza conflict. A very limited conflict with Iran also takes world attention away from the horrifying massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, where 50,000 have died from US-supplied bombs and shells. Israel hopes for "regime change" in Tehran, as Iran is a vocal supporter of Palestinians.
Iran is described as a "paper tiger" due to a Western boycott of its military forces, with Israel holding military superiority thanks to US support. The author suggests that "Now is the time when Iran could really use some nuclear weapons" and that North Korea has learned this lesson. The article concludes by stating that Russia or China should step in to help Iran.
III. Is the Trump Project Unravelling? By Alastair Crooke
Confidence in "Project Trump" is rapidly eroding due to fundamental contradictions within the MAGA coalition. The spat between Elon Musk and Trump illustrates a core contradiction that could trigger the slow decay of the Trump project. The coalition brings together wildly different visions for dealing with America's debt crisis and cultural future.
Silicon Valley's ultra-rich tech oligarchs switched support to Trump, seeking a monopoly over global data storage, AI, and "cloud capital" to extract rent and manipulate global thought. This data monopoly was believed to be as lucrative as the US dollar's role as the principal trade currency. Their vision is described as "authoritarian libertarianism," where a small posse of oligarchs rule unfettered by democracy, with a future driven by robotic and AI technology, and a populace tightly managed through AI control.
Trump's economic team aims to shore up the dollar by devaluing it, cutting corporate taxes to bring manufacturing back, and shrinking offshore dollar debt relative to US productive capacity. This strategy, including "Tariff shock and awe," was intended to compel other nations into deals to accommodate this schema. However, this plan has not worked as intended, largely due to Chinese resistance, leaving the US bond market on "tenderhooks".
The MAGA populist base insists on a return to a "real human economy" with well-paid employment, a vision completely at odds with the "Tech Bros'" dystopian view of a non-human, AI-driven future. This fundamental disagreement may explain the visceral opposition between figures like Steve Bannon, a MAGA populist supporter, and Elon Musk, whom Bannon labeled an "apostate".
Trump was obliged to make a "deal" with the ultra-rich and the "dark" Establishment to be elected, which included unqualified bipartisan support for Israel and a visceral phobia towards Russia. These "panjandrums" also hold deep qualms about the security of America's financial fortress, particularly regarding China's role in global finance.
Lee Hanley, one of the super-rich, significantly shaped American Right-wing politics by assembling a coalition of conservative elites and the white working class, uncannily prefiguring Trump’s electoral strategy. This alliance saw elites accepting Trumpism as the price to maintain their power, while Trump’s presidency brought immense material rewards to these wealthy oligarchs. A section of America’s elite has increasingly rejected constraints on wealth accumulation, embracing a radical libertarian ethos.
The contradiction between the Populist revolutionaries' values and their venture-capitalist backers (e.g., Peter Thiel, Elon Musk) poses a significant challenge. The MAGA fear is that Silicon Valley Oligarchs could rejoin the Democrats or even that Musk could launch a centrist Third Party.
Trump’s main foreign policy planks—dealing with China, normalizing relations between Iran and West Asia with Israel, and striking a relationship with Russia—are not proceeding as planned, which is problematic given America’s debt and fiscal situation. The US Senate holds significant power, able to hold approval of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" hostage to demands for escalation against Russia and "no enrichment" for Iran.
Trump’s team misread the Russian temper, and the attempted assault on Russia’s nuclear deterrence backfired, strengthening Russia’s and others’ resolve to resist Washington’s compelled outcomes. This episode marked the closest the US and Russia have come to nuclear war since the Cuban missile crisis, according to retired General Evgeny Buzhinsky. Confidence in the US, crucial for maintaining the dollar as the primary trading currency, is rapidly eroding.
IV. News you may have missed, including Japan releasing data on 18 million citizens which reveals death trends after covid vaccination By Rhoda Wilson
Japan has released a COVID vaccine database covering 18 million citizens, with a top Japanese professor warning that "The more doses you get, the sooner you're likely to die". The most terrifying finding from this data was a deadly spike in deaths just 3 to 4 months after the third dose.
A scientific and ethical controversy surrounds Polysorbate-80 (PS-80), a synthetic emulsifier banned in ice cream but allowed in 22 different vaccines routinely injected into newborns. When ingested, PS-80 is linked to intestinal aging and metabolic dysfunction, yet health authorities continue to defend its presence in vaccines.
Trendy GLP-1 agonist weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are linked to a "massive spike in depression, anxiety, and suicidal behaviour". A study involving over 160,000 patients revealed that these widely prescribed medications are triggering a mental health crisis that has been hidden from public view.
Two leading physicists, MIT’s Richard Lindzen and Princeton’s William Happer, claim to have debunked "climate alarmism" by proving that rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels cannot cause dangerous warming or extreme weather. Their research suggests that increased CO2 dramatically increases global food production, greening the planet and fighting starvation.
The proposed US Senate Budget for Fiscal Year 2026 retains wholesale slashes and clawbacks in "green energy" allocations, terminating individual tax credits and scaling back corporate wind and solar subsidies. These cuts align with President Donald Trump's label of renewable energy subsidies as "the new green scam".
Transport for London (TfL) collects and sells commuter data to corporations for advertising without users' consent, raising concerns about data harvesting and privacy. TfL's data collection includes real-time information on passenger movements in tube stations and data from Smart Traffic Management Systems that can identify people via mobile phones, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
Data centers are proliferating, requiring significant amounts of water for electricity generation and server cooling, with a single "hyperscale" center using as much water as 12,000 to 60,000 people. Much of this water is lost from the watershed, especially with evaporative cooling methods, leading communities and freshwater advocacy groups to call for more careful consideration of water supply management.
The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often shrouded in sci-fi cultism, and its imposition through "AI first" policies is driven by a desire for technological and economic consolidation rather than genuine innovation. The reliance on AI tools can lead to dependence, atrophy of the mind, and the de-skilling of professions, threatening humanity's knowledge and civic, social, and economic lives.
British MPs voted to decriminalize abortion in England and Wales, allowing terminations outside the legal framework, sparking public outcry. Archbishop John Sherrington and other public figures expressed deep alarm, stating the decision "significantly reduces the protection of unborn lives and and will result in grave harm for pregnant women".
A UK-based gold mining company, Bluebird Mining Ventures Ltd, plans to convert future gold revenues into Bitcoin and adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Bluebird's CEO, Aidan Bishop, stated conviction that "Bitcoin will reshape the landscape of financial markets on every level".
V. Satanic ritual abuse scandal blows up in Israel By Rhoda Wilson
An investigative report by Israel Hayom uncovered a pattern of ritual sexual abuse and psychological manipulation of Israeli children, often committed under the guise of religious observance. Survivors describe torment that began in early childhood and lasted decades, with ceremonies invoking biblically-vilified deities like Baal Peor and Ashtoreth.
Perpetrators include respectable members of society, such as rabbis, doctors, educators, and police officers, some holding high positions of power. These individuals keep kosher, celebrate the Sabbath, and adhere to Jewish law while engaging in depraved acts. Family members, some of whom may have been victims themselves, often hand over children to these abusers.
Despite multiple complaints filed at different police stations across Israel, prosecutions leading to imprisonment are rare. The article questions if any elite members of the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile network, rumored to be a Mossad operation, have been charged in court.
Ritual child sexual abuse is described as a "twisted safari sport" for the elite, serving as a rites de passage for entry into a select club of global movers and shakers. This inclusivity is dependent on mutual blackmailability, with perpetrators motivated by self-preservation and the accumulation of wealth and power.
The article links the abuse to programs like MK-Ultra, a covert CIA program designed for mind control and behavioral manipulation using trauma-induced dissociation in children. Children were allegedly programmed with distinct "roles" (e.g., messenger, spy, seductress) for use in espionage, blackmail, or other covert operations, creating a form of "programmable human".
The goals of ritual child sex abuse are twofold: to violate the body and distort the spiritual framework of victims, indoctrinating them to believe their suffering serves a divine purpose. In Israel, perpetrators manipulate foundational Torah concepts to legitimize unspeakable acts, reframing sexual exploitation as divine service and trauma as theology.
This spiritual abuse leads victims to hate God, a wound harder to heal than physical injury, as it robs a child of faith. The ceremonies uncovered included cross-dressing, incest, and group sexual acts within family units under the banner of spiritual transcendence, blurring boundaries between good and evil, sexuality and love, and family.
Israeli legal frameworks are ill-equipped to prosecute spiritual abuse wrapped under religious performance, contributing to a "conspiracy of silence" within religious society. Israel is arguably highlighted as a global epicenter for child sexual abuse and trafficking, and has provided sanctuary to high-profile pedophiles.
The normalization of child brutalization in society is suggested to lead to soldiers committing acts defying human decency and war crimes, as the abused become the abusers. This perpetuates a cycle of violence, where trauma and violations endured by children are projected onto the defenseless as adults.
VI. TACO Trump's Harsh Optics While Selling Out On Immigration Will End In Disaster, by Robert Stark
Trump's immigration policy is characterized by performative cruelty and spectacle rather than substantial deportations. ICE raids feel performative as the actual number of illegal immigrants deported is not that much. Trump's essence is about the spectacle rather than substance, despite new border crossings being at their lowest in decades.
Trump recently declared an amnesty for illegal immigrants in agriculture and leisure/hospitality, influenced by business interests and donors. This declaration suggests that businesses openly flouting US immigration law will face no consequences. Mass deportations are also seen as causing an economic shock on top of tariffs and the Israel-Iran war.
Trump's "greatest sellout" is on legal immigration, including allowing half a million Chinese students, praising the H1B visa program, and selling US citizenship via a "gold card visa program". Many immigration restrictionists hoped Trump would get tougher on legal immigration after his breakup with Elon Musk, but this does not appear to be the case.
The most effective way to deport is to encourage self-deportation using employer sanctions rather than raids and mass arrests, or a Swiss canton system where communities screen immigrants. The author predicts the GOP might favor a "Dubai model" where immigrants are exploited for labor but barred from citizenship as a compromise between capitalists and nationalists.
The Trump administration is allegedly teaming with Palantir to create a massive centralized surveillance database of everyone, including US citizens. Trump's rhetoric about sending American criminals to prisons in El Salvador, even if empty, should alarm people as it could devalue the sacredness of US citizenship.
Trump has used the Alien Enemies Act to send illegal immigrants to the CECOT prison in El Salvador, and threatened to suspend Habeas Corpus. These deportees, in many cases, were not convicted of crimes other than being in the country illegally, and some, like Andry José Hernandez Romero, have no criminal record.
Sending people with no criminal backgrounds to CECOT, especially non-Salvadoran nationalities like Venezuelans, is seen as damaging to Trump's agenda and potentially violating international law. The lack of transparency at CECOT, with journalists, lawyers, and families having zero access to detainees, has led to concerns about "disappearing people".
The libertarian argument posits that stripping rights from immigrants is a slippery slope to stripping native-born citizens' rights, especially dissidents. Democrats are predicted to keep the new police state apparatus while getting rid of nationalist aspects, weaponizing laws and tools against the Right, similar to Biden's use of Bush's war on terror laws.
Trump is seen as doing the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt’s "Speak softly and carry a big stick" by acting as a "Fascist boogeyman" that riles up the Left but fails to deliver. If Trump fails, it could tarnish the immigration restrictionist cause and nationalism, potentially leading Democrats to ramp up replacement migration and push for European-style hate speech legislation.
VII. The Certifiers Rule, So Be Prepared By George F. Smith
Economics, since the advent of Keynesianism, has been plagued by faulty assumptions and methodologies, leading to uncertainty about our economic future. The influence of economists in government and on the Federal Open Market Committee contributes to this situation.
Politicians prioritize policies that make them look good, even if they hurt certain workers or have obvious downsides like printing more money to raise wages. Economic reasoning is often trumped by politics, and trainers of economists are obliged to comply with political reality, leading to short-run considerations.
Achieving recognition in fields often fundamentally requires an advanced degree, even if practical ability can do the job. This is illustrated by the story of Hank, a programmer without a degree, who successfully created an interpreter where degree-holding experts failed, yet his accomplishment lacked recognition from management.
Colleges are described as allegiant to their "paymasters," the interventionist government, which influences the academic environment. Economics is portrayed as being ruled by "pretenders to knowledge" who use intimidating equations and pseudo-scientific jargon, united in their rejection of free markets and sound money.
The author contends that both government and the economics supporting it are "rackets" that are headed for the graveyard due to the "decimation of the monetary unit". It is suggested that while one might articulate why these systems will fail to the public, such efforts are unlikely to lead to a "fat paycheck" without sufficient credentials.
VIII. The Dangerous Web of Medical Myths: Why Big Pharma, Government, and Conventional Medicine Keep Us Sick By Catherine Ebeling
America spends more on healthcare than any other nation, yet has the highest rates of chronic illness, obesity, cancer, and mental health disorders among developed countries. This paradox is largely attributed to a "dangerous web of medical myths" orchestrated by Big Pharma, government agencies, medical institutions, and publicists.
The "Cholesterol-Heart Disease Myth" asserts cholesterol is the primary villain, leading to widespread statin use despite studies showing little to no reduction in all-cause mortality for most people. Cholesterol is presented as a vital healing substance for hormones, cell membranes, synapses, and neurotransmitters in the brain, with low levels linked to depression and cognitive decline.
Heart disease primarily stems from metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, high glucose, processed foods, and a sedentary lifestyle, with cholesterol acting as a healing agent. Prioritizing a nutrient-dense, whole foods, low-carb diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle is suggested to lower inflammation and reduce heart disease, making metabolic health monitoring more important than cholesterol levels.
The "Cancer Myth" promotes conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery as primary options, which are profitable but have harsh, toxic side effects. Promising non-toxic alternative treatments are often dismissed because they are not profitable to mainstream medicine.
Integrative and alternative therapies for cancer, such as intravenous vitamin C, mistletoe extract, fasting, ketogenic diet, ivermectin, and fenbendazole, are gaining popularity for their effectiveness and lower toxicity. These therapies represent a shift towards evidence-based, patient-centered care emphasizing immune support, metabolic balance, and lower-toxicity treatments.
The "Blood Pressure Myth" labels most hypertension as "essential hypertension" (no known cause), leading to lifelong medication with side effects, despite criteria adjustments by pharmaceutical companies to increase eligible patients. In truth, hypertension is often the result of insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies.
The "Osteoporosis Myth" presents the condition as a normal part of aging, especially for women, recommending calcium supplements and medications that increase bone density but disrupt bone remodeling, leading to increased brittleness and fractures. The solution involves diet and lifestyle modifications, weight-bearing exercises, and supplementing with vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, collagen, and trace minerals rather than just calcium.
IX. The Limits of Catholic Social Teaching By Eric Sammons
Modern "Catholic Social Teaching" (CST) was largely introduced by Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum in 1891. It is described as a group of interrelated teachings addressing modern political and economic realities, applying the Church's perennial moral teachings to new situations like widespread wage-based work.
The exact authority of CST, particularly concerning specific economic applications like a "just wage," can be debatable and difficult to define. Unlike definitive doctrines such as the Blessed Trinity, the level of authority for CST regarding a "just wage" is not as clear.
The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church states that a "just wage" must not be below the worker's "level of subsistence," with natural justice preceding contractual freedom. However, the author points out the ambiguity of "subsistence" in the modern world and the practical difficulties of implementing a high minimum wage (e.g., $20/hour) without harming small businesses or employment opportunities.
There is a crucial distinction between binding moral principles (e.g., abortion is murder) and the prudent application of those principles to contemporary realities. The author criticizes how some Catholics "wield Catholic Social Teaching like a hammer" to enforce specific political and economic views that may not always make sense.
The Church's charism for teaching faith and morals authoritatively does not extend to understanding economics. This implies that while the Church provides moral guidance, specific economic interpretations or policies derived from CST are open to discussion and do not necessarily demand the same level of assent as core doctrines.
X. The Neocons Wanted To Split MAGA By Tom Woods
The article criticizes the "this time it'll be different" mentality regarding potential military intervention in Iran. It warns against trusting assurances for war, especially when they contradict US intelligence findings.
Iran's increased uranium enrichment is presented as a direct consequence of the Trump administration breaking the original Iran nuclear deal and re-imposing crippling sanctions. By killing the deal, Trump sent the message that the US would not accept Iran enriching even for civilian use, leading Iran to increase enrichment in hopes of convincing the US to return to the deal.
US intelligence, through reports from the director of national intelligence, affirms that "Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program suspended in 2003". The author questions why the US administration would side with assurances from a foreign leader over its own intelligence findings, especially after George W. Bush backed off an invasion when intelligence showed no Iran nuclear program.
The author highlights some right-wing figures who are resisting the push for war with Iran, including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Alex Jones. Tucker Carlson's stance is seen as courageous and not self-serving, despite accusations of being a "grifter," as he stands to gain nothing and potentially lose a great deal from his position.
The article concludes by listing four enduring issues regardless of who is elected: growing debt, dropping bombs, perpetuated lies, and the regime targeting those who oppose these trends. This suggests a systemic problem beyond individual administrations, where core issues persist.
XI. Trump's Trillions, a market manipulation masterclass By George Calderon
President Donald Trump's social media posts and tariff decisions have coincided with "historic swings in the stock market" worth trillions of dollars since he returned to office in January 2025. The sheer magnitude and timing of these movements raise the question of whether they represent calculated manipulation of financial markets.
On April 2, 2025, dubbed "Liberation Day," Trump announced blanket 10% duties on imports, causing global markets to lose over $6 trillion in 48 hours. The S&P 500 dropped 6%, and the Dow Jones plunged over 4,000 points, with technology, semiconductors, and automotive sectors being the biggest losers.
On April 9, 2025, after Trump posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!", all previously announced tariffs were paused for 90 days, leading to an instant $1.4 trillion gain in the S&P 500. This rapid market rebound, a 9.5% surge, was the biggest one-day gain since the 2008 financial crisis.
This pattern of "shock, plunge and partial reversal" became known as the "TACO Trade" (Trump Always Chickens Out), a seemingly familiar rhythm in the 2025 market. The timing of these moves sparked calls for investigation from figures like Senator Adam Schiff, raising concerns that insiders and Trump allies may have profited from market volatility.
A feud between Elon Musk and Trump led to Tesla stock collapsing by 25% ($250 billion value loss) after Musk criticized a Trump bill and posted a "digital grenade" tweet suggesting Trump was "in the Epstein files". Suspicions of insider trading arose as put options had quadrupled in advance of the news, indicating prior knowledge of the impending argument.
Musk's public apology to Trump on June 9 and 10 led to Tesla's stock rebounding, increasing Musk's personal net worth by almost $200 million in one day. This recovery, combined with suspicions about the feud's genuineness, fueled further speculation about a market manipulation ploy.
Despite bipartisan concern, the SEC has yet to launch a formal inquiry, with some suggesting it is "ill-equipped to police a market now driven as much by memes and personalities as fundamentals". The integrity of the entire global financial system comes under scrutiny when social media becomes the primary mechanism for sudden policy announcements, leading to massive financial gains or losses.
XII. Walking Is A Band-Aid If Your Diet Still Sucks (Toxic Carbohydrates) By Joachim Bartoll
A 12-week randomized controlled trial found that regular treadmill walking improved cardiometabolic risk factors and liver health in older adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The intervention involved 30 minutes of treadmill walking at 50% to 70% of VO2max, six days per week, which is considered a brisk, moderate-intensity activity.
Walking led to improvements such as reduced weight, fat mass, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, liver enzymes, triglycerides, and LDL-C, while increasing HDL-C and lean mass. These improvements are primarily attributed to the body using blood glucose and fatty acids for energy during walking.
The reduction in blood glucose, even for a few hours a day, lowers its overall toxicity to soft tissues and organs, thereby improving liver enzymes, the cardiovascular system, and blood pressure. Stimulating the lymph system and detoxification through movement also contributes to better cardiovascular function, even if the diet remains unhealthy.
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) reduction can be seen as an improvement if there is less tissue damage needing repair, or a negative if it's due to a lack of necessary nutrients for cholesterol production. The author states that if the body lacks cholesterol from the diet or the liver cannot manufacture cholesterol or LDL due to nutrient deficiencies, but still needs to heal tissue, then a reduction in LDL is "very bad".
The author contends that exercise, like walking, is merely a "band-aid" if the diet remains unhealthy and includes "toxic carbohydrates" and processed foods. It only slows down the damage caused by elevated blood glucose from an inappropriate diet.
Diet is emphasized as significantly more important than exercise for optimal health and healing, as it provides the body with necessary nutrients. The recommendation is to remove all plant-based and processed foods and replace them with "species-appropriate animal-based foods" to nourish the body and eliminate dietary toxic load, allowing for healing.
I. ☕️ POLITICAL WHIMS ☙ Thursday, June 19, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers
Supreme Court Decision on Transgender Treatments for Minors: The Supreme Court delivered a significant decision allowing states to restrict transgender treatments for minors, which was reported by the Wall Street Journal with a particular narrative framing.
Yesterday’s biggest news, by a nautical mile, was another terrific Supreme Court decision.
The Wall Street Journal ran the story below the headline, “Supreme Court Allows States to Restrict Transgender Treatments for Minors”.
Transgender Identity Not a Suspect Class: The Supreme Court ruled (6-3) that transgender identity is not, in fact, a suspect class under the 14th Amendment Equal Protection clause, meaning it is not considered akin to race, sex, or religious belief.
Yesterday, the top court held (6-3) that transgender identity is not, in fact, a suspect class under 14th Amendment Equal Protection.
In other words, transgenderism is not like race, sex, or religious belief.
Implications for State Regulation of Gender-Affirming Care: This decision means that "rational basis review" applies to laws concerning transgender issues, which provides a "green light" for states to regulate or even ban "gender-affirming care" for minors with reduced constitutional risk.
Here in the U.S., yesterday’s decision means rational basis review applies to laws relating to trans issues, rather than heightened scrutiny.
That distinction is a green light for states to regulate —or even outright ban— so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors, with far less constitutional risk.
Tectonic Legal Shift from Identity to Biology: The ruling represents a "legally tectonic" shift, marking a full-scale retreat from earlier gender-identity jurisprudence where identity was prioritized over biology.
The shift is legally tectonic.
And yesterday’s decision marked a full-scale retreat from the earlier phase of gender-identity jurisprudence, where identity trumped biology rather than the other way around.
Broad Impact on Transgender-Related Laws: Beyond pediatric care, the new decision sends shock waves through the entire trans debate, potentially affecting all laws related to trans persons, including those concerning bathrooms, sports teams, prison segregation, and school dress codes.
This new decision’s effects, though nominally just about pediatric care, sent shock waves through the entire trans debate.
It potentially affects all laws related to trans persons, including bathrooms, sports teams, prison segregation, and even school dress codes.
Justice Thomas's Scathing Critique of "Experts": In his special concurrence, Justice Thomas expressed strong disapproval of according "outsized credit" to claims about medical consensus and expertise, asserting that experts have "no license to countermand the 'wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices'".
But my favorite part was Justice Thomas’ concurrence.
The Court rightly rejects efforts by the United States and the private plaintiffs to accord outsized credit to claims about medical consensus and expertise.
Absence of Medical Consensus on Gender Dysphoria Treatment: Justice Thomas highlighted that there is "no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children," and questioned the ability of young children to provide informed consent for irreversible sex-transition treatments.
Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs, there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children.
Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts’ view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves.
Experts Influenced by Ideology and Questionable Evidence: Justice Thomas raised concerns that "leading voices" in the area of gender dysphoria treatment have relied on questionable evidence and allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.
Fourth, there are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.
States are never required to substitute expert opinion for their legislative judgment, and, when the experts appear to have compromised their credibility, it makes good sense to chart a different course.
Rejection of "Elite Sentiment" in Constitutional Interpretation: Justice Thomas dismissed the relevance of major medical organizations' agreement with legislative outcomes, stating that deferring to "self-proclaimed experts" would allow "elite sentiment to distort and stifle democratic debate under the guise of scientific judgment".
The views of self-proclaimed experts do not “shed light on the meaning of the Constitution”.
Thus, whether “major medical organizations” agree with the result of Tennessee’s democratic process is irrelevant.
DNC's Severe Financial Woes: The Democratic National Committee is facing a dire financial situation, with top officials considering borrowing money to cover expenses, a problem exacerbated by a significant drop in large donations.
The New York Times was forced to report, “the Democratic National Committee’s financial situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying the bills”.
The Times coolly noted that “big donors — an essential part of the party’s funding — have been very slow to give to the party this year”.
Impact of Trump Administration on DNC Funding Streams: The DNC's financial difficulties are attributed to the Trump Administration's actions, including pulling the plug on USAID funding that was allegedly funneled back to Democrats, and DOJ investigations into ActBlue's fundraising practices.
As one of his first acts, Trump immediately pulled the plug on the USAID gravy train.
Next, the DOJ (and several states) began investigating the DNC’s top fundraising platform, ActBlue, for its “smurfing” scheme.
ActBlue Board Resignations and Security Vows: Investigations into ActBlue's "smurfing" scheme, involving suspicious small-dollar donations, led to its entire board quitting, with the new board pledging to "increase donation security".
As a result of the additional scrutiny and the potential criminal implications, ActBlue’s entire board quit.
The new board has vowed to “increase donation security” and blamed any “irregularities,” if they happened, on loose rules.
Democrats' Atrophied Fundraising Skills: The shrinking fundraising for Democrats, a result of the ActBlue and USAID issues, suggests that their financial muscles have atrophied from decades of automated fundraising, making them lose the skills for "real grassroots dollar-digging".
The predictable net effect of both problems —ActBlue and USAID— is that Democrat fund-raising is shrinking back to realistic proportions.
And it is not difficult to imagine that Democrats, whose financial muscles were atrophied from decades of automated fundraising, have lost the skills for real grassroots dollar-digging, unlike the GOP and especially one Donald J. Trump.
Corporate Pay-for-Play Becomes "Radioactive": Corporate pay-for-play pipelines have become "politically radioactive" in the current populist climate, particularly as Democrats, being out of power, cannot deliver political favors or protection to sponsors.
Corporate pay-for-play pipelines have become politically radioactive in the current populist climate.
Dems, out of power, can’t deliver any political favors to sponsors— or any protection.
DNC's Self-Inflicted "Purity Spiral": The DNC is described as being caught in a "purity spiral," with internal chaos and infighting, driven by the far left's desire for control and exacerbated by the drying up of funds that previously bought internal peace.
The DNC chaos, as we know, is spinning like a purity spiral top, set in motion by the party’s decision to frag its one-time poster boy.
The DNC’s purity spiral isn’t just a political crisis— it’s more so a financial one.
Ineffective DNC Spending on New Initiatives: Despite financial difficulties, the DNC invested $20 million to "study young men’s preferences" and launched a glossy YouTube streaming show, "The Daily Blueprint," which has attracted a "minuscule audience" of fewer than 1,000 views per episode.
The DNC seems to be adrift, its efforts resembling a clown being chased by a bull.
