Briefing Document: Review of Recent Articles
The provided texts present critical perspectives on various geopolitical and domestic issues. One source argues that the "Gay Pride" movement was an artificially created phenomenon by US government entities and NGOs. Another contends that de-dollarization is more of a political concept than a practical reality, highlighting the complex and interdependent nature of global finance. A third piece asserts that the Democratic Party and a bureaucratic "blob" are engaged in corrupt practices, funded by taxpayer money. Another article suggests that US support for Israel, particularly under Netanyahu, is detrimental and driven by the influence of the Israeli lobby. Finally, one commentary portrays the United States as a global "gangster empire" using its power to exploit other nations, exemplified by its involvement in Ukraine and its designs on Ukrainian resources. 

This briefing document summarizes the main themes and important ideas presented in the provided excerpts from LewRockwell.com and The Unz Review. The articles cover a range of topics, including the origins of "Gay Pride," de-dollarization efforts, the relationship between the Democratic Party and the "blob," criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu, dietary advice, and an analysis of US foreign policy under Trump.

1. Astroturf Activism: How the US Government and NGOs Created 'Gay Pride' From Thin Air (Brandon Smith, LewRockwell.com)

• Main Theme: This article argues that the "Gay Pride" movement was not a grassroots phenomenon but rather an "astroturf" movement created and funded by the US government and NGOs, particularly the Rockefeller Foundation and USAID. The author claims this was part of a larger agenda to undermine Western civilization.

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author recalls a "live and let live" attitude towards gay people in the 1980s and 90s, where they "kept their gayness to themselves."

• The Rockefeller Foundation is accused of "bragging" about funding the "sexual revolution" and the concept of "non-binary sexuality."

• John Money's studies on gender identity are labeled "intellectually dishonest and disturbed" and were allegedly bankrolled by the Rockefeller Foundation through Johns Hopkins.

• The author contends that these ideologies spread from academia into politics and the federal bureaucracy, leading to a system where taxpayer money flows to NGOs to promote this agenda.

• USAID is specifically accused of "injecting woke cultism into the public school system," encouraging the indoctrination of children with "woke ethics and transgender politics" and urging teachers to hide this from parents.

• The article highlights USAID's document on "Integrating LGBTQI+" as outlining this agenda and cites examples of USAID's activities in Kosovo, Honduras, and Jamaica related to LGBT inclusion training.

• The author contrasts the 1990s argument for gay rights ("born that way, can't change it") with the current prevailing argument ("gender and sexuality are completely fluid"). This is framed as the gay movement now agreeing with its former adversaries that "Gayness is a personal lifestyle choice."

• According to USAID, "the development and realization of one’s sexual orientation and gender identity is a process, rather than a singular event. This implies that self-identification of sexual orientation and gender identity may change over time and may not be congruent, and young people may need varying levels of support, space, and attention during this process…"

• The author suggests that younger people identifying as LGBT might be a form of "virtue signal" driven by USAID and NGO funded programming promoting "gender relativism."

• The author proposes that "Pride" and the woke movement are precursors to a "new secularist religion of self worship and the worship of government."

• The article concludes that the Pride movement was a "fabrication; an illusion conjured into existence through the sheer power of government cash and NGO manipulation" and predicts its decline with defunding.

• 
  

2. De-Dollarization Was Always More of a Political Slogan Than a Pecuniary Fact (Andrew Korybko, LewRockwell.com)

• Main Theme: This article argues that the concept of widespread de-dollarization is more of a political slogan than a realistic economic shift, even among BRICS nations.

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author suggests that hopes for rapid de-dollarization fueled by the Ukraine conflict and a perceived bifurcation of the world into the "West" and the "World Majority" were overblown.

• The BRICS Summit mentioned in October achieved "nothing of tangible significance" on the de-dollarization front.

• Leading BRICS members like India and Russia have indicated they are not creating a new currency and have "absolutely no interest in undermining the dollar at all" (quoting Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar).

• Jaishankar stated that "I don’t think there is a unified BRICS position on [de-dollarization]. I think BRICS members... have very diverse positions on this matter. So, the suggestion or the assumption that somewhere there is a united BRICS position against the dollar, I think, is not borne out by facts.”

• Putin's recent invitation to American companies to cooperate on strategic resources could lead to Russia using more dollars in international trade. Putin himself reportedly said that de-dollarization was forced by sanctions.

• While Russia might support platforms like BRICS Bridge, BRICS Clear, and BRICS Pay, these are seen as preventing dependence on the dollar rather than actively advancing de-dollarization.

• The author posits that a thaw in US-Russia relations would likely see Russia using the dollar again, and this could lead other BRICS nations to moderate their de-dollarization policies.

• Even China, despite its efforts, has been hesitant to fully de-dollarize due to "complex interdependencies with the West."

• The author concludes that "de-dollarization was always more of a political slogan than a pecuniary fact," with Russia's progress being primarily due to necessity from sanctions.

• The most pragmatic approach, according to the article, is for countries to use their national currencies more in trade while diversifying their foreign currency reserves to avoid dependence on any single currency, as pioneered by India.

• 
  

3. Dems and Blob Together (James Howard Kunstler, LewRockwell.com)

• Main Theme: This article presents a highly critical view of the Democratic Party and a shadowy "blob" (presumably referring to entrenched government officials, NGOs, and associated entities), arguing they are mutually dependent and engaged in corruption.

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author argues that organizations receiving government money are hardly "non-governmental."

• John Podesta's role in managing a $369 billion fund from the Inflation Reduction Act for climate change action is highlighted as an example of vast sums of "money conjured out of thin air: debt" being disbursed to NGOs.

• This disbursement is described as a "grift" where money flows to "Democratic Party members’ bank accounts."

• The article lists numerous prominent figures (John Podesta, Senators Warner and Schiff, General Milley, AG Garland, FBI Director Wray, Gina Haspel, "Biden," Blinken, Sullivan) as examples of "depraved officials" operating with "gross impunity."

• The author claims that the Democratic Party and the "blob" are in a "mutual aid society suddenly turned into a suicide pact," suggesting their intertwined interests are now leading to their downfall.

• The article anticipates a reckoning where these individuals will face "the wheels of justice."

• 
  

4. Saying Goodbye to Benjamin Netanyahu Is Long Overdue (Philip Giraldi, LewRockwell.com)

• Main Theme: This article strongly criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his policies, accusing him of war crimes and asserting that the US has been complicit in these actions due to the influence of a "largely Jewish-led and funded" neoconservative movement and a powerful "Israel Lobby."

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author criticizes Trump for not mentioning Israeli actions against Palestinians in Gaza, such as cutting off food, medicine, and housing after a ceasefire.

• Netanyahu is described as leading a "band of thugs" and engaging in the "extermination of the Palestinian people."

• The article asserts that the US has been on a "berserker course to teach the rest of the world about the ‘meaning of death’" since 9/11.

• The author posits that neoconservatives, described as "largely a Jewish-led and funded movement," have dominated US foreign policy and believe US dominance is good for Israel.

• The Iraq War is cited as an example of a conflict based on "lies and false intelligence" concocted by neoconservatives, with Israeli intelligence having access to the Pentagon during this process.

• The author expresses a long-held belief in "Jewish perfidy directed at corrupting and gaining influence over the United States," citing the creation of the Federal Reserve and control over major newspapers in the early 20th century. The quote from Nathan Mayer Rothschild about controlling a nation's money supply is included.

• The article mentions alleged past actions to protect Israel, such as making it harder to prosecute violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

• The assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy are linked to their alleged efforts to crack down on the Israel lobby and Israel's secret nuclear program.

• The author suggests possible Israeli ties to the 9/11 attacks, mentioning Israel's "massive spying program in the US at that time" and the "dancing Shlomos."

• Israel is portrayed as using its "immense power inside the United States establishment" to incite wars that do not benefit the US.

• American presidents are described as "ignorant goyim to be used and discarded or even subtly threatened." The author mentions Netanyahu presenting Trump with a "mounted Golden Pager" as a potentially "sick joke" or warning.

• The "Hannibal Directive," authorizing the killing of Israeli civilians to prevent them from being taken hostage, is cited as evidence that Israel's government does not even value the lives of some Jews.

• The "Samson Option," Israel's alleged plan to use nuclear weapons if threatened, is presented as a real and representative of Israeli government thinking, potentially including the US as a target.

• The article concludes by stating that the US has "surrendered to Zion" and allowed a powerful "fifth column" to gain control over US national security policy for a foreign country (Israel).

• 
  

5. The Most Certainly Retarded Diet - And How To Actually Get Shredded (Joachim Bartoll, Joachim Bartoll Official)

• Main Theme: This article critiques mainstream dieting advice, particularly a T-Nation article about rapid fat loss, and advocates for a carnivore diet with scheduled dry fasting as a more effective and healthier approach to getting "shredded."

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author dismisses the common advice of reducing calories and increasing cardio as "retarded" and potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies.

• He promotes a "natural human diet of animal-based foods" combined with "two days a week of fasting by removing meals from two separate days a week" for healthy and sustainable fat loss.

• The author criticizes the T-Nation article's suggestion of an "insane diet and a totally bonkers amount of exercise" for rapid fat loss, deeming it "stupid beyond words" and extremely unhealthy.

• The T-Nation article cited a study where subjects lost about a pound of fat per day through severe calorie restriction and extreme exercise (8 hours of cycling and treadmill). The author acknowledges this but emphasizes the unsustainability and potential harm.

• The author argues that metabolically healthy individuals can use up about a pound of body fat a day during "dry fasting" without exercise.

• He claims that "Before Russia was infiltrated by the inverted and evil Westernized Modern Medicine pushed by the Rockefellers, they used dry fasting to heal pretty much any ailment."

• Old Russian literature is recommended as the best resource on fasting, especially dry fasting, which was reportedly used in their medical system for over 40 years and is claimed to be "three times more effective than fasting and drinking water."

• Dry fasting is described as promoting healing through autophagy and utilizing fat for metabolic water production.

• The author recounts anecdotes of fasting being common in the military and police in the mid-20th century before "everything went to total sh*t."

• He reiterates his recommendation of consuming nutritious animal-based foods for maintenance five days a week and incorporating two days of dry fasting for effective fat loss without negative side effects.

• The author advises adjusting fasting windows for very lean individuals to avoid muscle loss, suggesting shorter fasting periods as leanness increases.

• He criticizes protein powders and emphasizes the importance of all essential nutrients, especially animal fat, cholesterol, and omega-3s, for overall health and hormone production.

• The author concludes by mocking T-Nation for promoting supplements instead of the "extreme health benefits of fasting beyond losing tons of body fat."

• 
  

6. Yes, Trump is vulgar. But the US global shakedown is the same one as ever, by Jonathan Cook (The Unz Review)

• Main Theme: This article argues that while Donald Trump's demeanor may be unconventional, his approach to US foreign policy is a continuation of a long-standing pattern of the US acting as a "gangster empire" focused on global domination and economic exploitation.

• Key Ideas and Facts:The author states that Trump has stripped away the notion of the US as a benign global policeman, revealing it as a "gangster empire."

• The US is described as aggressively seeking "global full-spectrum domination" and operating with a "pay fealty or be dumped" mentality.

• The article references the US role in the Iraq War and the engineering of the conflict in Ukraine through NATO expansion over two decades as examples of this pattern.

• Henry Kissinger's quote, "It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal," is used to illustrate the US's fickle nature.

• Trump's actions, such as withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and sending Javelin missiles to Ukraine, are presented as escalating tensions with Russia.

• NATO's repeated vows to bring Ukraine into its fold, despite Russia's warnings, and the US assistance in the 2014 coup in Kyiv are highlighted as key factors leading to the Ukraine conflict.

• The author argues that the war in Ukraine was a proxy war of attrition against Russia, with the aim of weakening it militarily and economically and potentially leading to Putin's overthrow.

• Trump's current approach to Ukraine is framed not as a genuine pursuit of peace but as an economic opportunity to exploit Ukraine's rare-earth mineral deposits, estimated to be worth $15 trillion.

• The US goal is reportedly to gain first refusal on these mineral deposits, crucial for future technologies and weapons, and to exclude China from this plunder.

• A draft plan seen by the Telegraph is described as amounting to the "US economic colonisation of Ukraine, in legal perpetuity."

• Trump's desire to quickly end the war in Ukraine is attributed to his interest in securing control over these mineral resources before Russia can seize more territory.

• The article notes that the competition with China over rare-earth minerals predates Trump and is a key driver of US foreign policy.

• The author suggests that NATO's actions in Ukraine have inadvertently driven Russia closer to China, a form of "self-sabotage."

• Trump's potential "peacemaking" in Ukraine is viewed as a strategic move to isolate China and establish a new security architecture in Europe more favorable to the US.

• The author warns that this could be a prelude to a similar conflict with China over Taiwan.

• The article concludes that despite Trump's vulgarity, the underlying US strategy of global dominance and economic exploitation remains the same.

Title: America’s Perpetual War: Six Questions by Prof. Joseph H. Chung , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.globalresearch.ca www.globalresearch.ca

Key Takeaways:

•

The article defines war in terms of American military interventions and counts 32 wars undertaken by the U.S. since WWII1 .

•

It introduces the concept of the American Pro-War Community (APWC), comprising war corporations, the federal government, think tanks, pressure groups, and the media, which benefits from perpetual wars through profit maximization2 ....

•

The author argues that the primary driver for the continuation of American wars is a "vicious circle of human greed," where war brings money, which in turn invites more wars4 .

Key words: American Pro-War Community (APWC): This refers to a closely-knit community that promotes its own interests at the expense of the general American public and the people of targeted countries5 . The AWPC’s core group comprises the war corporations and the federal government led by the Pentagon, the Congress, the Senate and other government agencies2 . The beneficiaries of American wars are the members of the APWC6 ....

Perpetual War: This term describes the state of the U.S. being involved in continuous warfare since WWII8 . President Jimmy Carter stated in 2018 that the US had been at war for 226 out of the 242 years since its independence9 . The efficiency of the whole system of producing and selling war goods and services depends on how the core group and the supporting groups can work in harmony together to attain the objectives of wars, namely, the maximization of profit and the intra-APWC sharing of the profit2 .

War Corporations: These are companies that produce and sell war goods and services and are a core part of the APWC2 .... The combined annual sale of the five leading firms in 2022 was as much as $ 241.8 billion of which $183.3 billon was for the sale of military goods and services, or 75.8% of the total sale11 .... These corporations also fund think tanks, pressure groups, and the media to create demand for war13 ....

Title: Astroturf Activism: How the US Government and NGOs Created 'Gay Pride' From Thin Air , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.lewrockwell.com https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/no_author/astroturf-activism-how-the-us-government-and-ngos-created-gay-pride-from-thin-air/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article claims that USAID, originally intended to combat communism, has shifted to promoting leftist propaganda with a focus on DEI and LGBT issues since the 1990s16 .

•

It alleges that the "woke movement" is a well-funded ideological machine, supported by the government and NGOs, aiming to destroy Western values and Christian morals16 ....

•

The author asserts that progressive political organizations use social pressure related to LGBT issues to create a permanent voting bloc18 .

Key words: USAID: This is described as a little known agency launched to provide international aid and combat communism, but which, according to the article, increasingly involved in leftist propaganda with a specific interest in DEI from the 1990s onward16 . The document states: “The purpose of this document is to support USAID’s staff working in the education sector to integrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+1) considerations into programming and across the Program Cycle…”19 . Researching back through some of USAID’s activities from 2014 onward there was a clear spike in funding surrounding LGBT programs for teachers and administrators20 .

DEI: This acronym, standing for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, is mentioned as a specific interest of USAID in its alleged shift towards leftist propaganda16 . The PDF was drafted and provided to field employees and workers in their Inclusive Development Hub and Center for Education. It explains how to inject DEI and LGBT propaganda into various public education institutions, using teachers and school officials as “advocates”20 . USAID’s mission statement uses the same justification as most DEI promoters: They claim that educational environments around the world are “not safe” for LGBT students and teachers19 .

Woke Movement: This is characterized as not just Cultural Marxism but a massively well-funded ideological machine, a new religion of sorts, that seeks to wipe out the fundamental principles that hold our society together17 . The woke movement is not just Cultural Marxism (that’s part of it), it’s a massively well-funded ideological machine17 . Fast forward to the 2020s and what we have today is a hostile takeover, a government and NGO funded color revolution that desires to annihilate western values, Christian morals and the general American regard for freedom of speech and freedom of thought16 ....

Title: Australia “covid deaths”: The use of chemical restraints to hasten the death of the elderly by Rhoda Wilson 

, SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.expose-news.com https://expose-news.com/2025/03/09/australia-covid-deaths/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article presents evidence that sedatives or chemical restraints, such as midazolam and morphine, were recommended for covid-19 patients and those unable to follow infection mitigation controls in Australian residential aged-care facilities (RACFs)21 .

•

It suggests that the use of these chemical restraints likely hastened deaths in RACFs that experienced high "covid deaths" in 2020, where approximately 75% of Australia’s "covid-19 deaths" occurred21 ....

•

The article notes that despite restrictions on chemical restraint, their use was permitted under Australian law and was reportedly an overused practice in RACFs even before the pandemic21 ....

Key words: Chemical Restraints: These are defined as sedatives, such as midazolam and morphine, which were recommended and permitted for use on covid-19 patients and those unable to follow infection mitigation controls in RACFs in Australia21 .... The evidence shows that it is highly likely that the use of chemical restraints hastened deaths in the facilities with high “covid deaths”21 . In 2021, Australia’s ‘Aged Care Quality and Safety’ Royal Commission reported how chemical restraint was an overused practice in RACFs, even before the pandemic23 .

Residential Aged-Care Facilities (RACFs): These are facilities where approximately 75% of Australia’s “covid-19 deaths” occurred in 202022 .... Sedatives or chemical restraints, such as midazolam and morphine, were recommended for covid-19 patients and those unable to follow infection mitigation controls in RACFs21 . Hospitals were reportedly refusing to admit seriously ill covid-19 residents and sending them back to RACFs, where they were sedated25 .

Midazolam and Morphine: These are specific examples of sedatives or chemical restraints that were reportedly used in RACFs in Australia to "slow the spread of covid" and were recommended for palliative and end-of-life care24 .... In the following, Shifted Paradigms provides evidence that two shots were used in residential aged-care facilities to “slow the spread of covid”: midazolam and morphine24 . For management of the symptoms of breathlessness or cough, use opioids as per usual care. Consider the addition of a benzodiazepine (for example midazolam) if breathlessness persists28 .

Title: Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System by Ambrose Kane , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.unz.com https://www.unz.com/article/broken-doctors-for-a-broken-medical-system/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article argues that the American healthcare system is ineffective for chronic diseases and that many doctors lack critical thinking skills, blindly following pharmaceutical-based treatment models29 ....

•

It contends that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed this broken system, with doctors promoting vaccines despite limited testing and downplaying alternative treatments, driven by pharmaceutical profits31 ....

•

The author advocates for individuals to become more knowledgeable about health, nutrition, and supplements, urging them to be their own advocates and less dependent on a costly and ineffective medical system33 .

Key words: Medical Industrial Complex: This term is used to describe a system where a healthier nation is not as dependent on the medical establishment, which prioritizes profits from pharmaceutical drugs and treatments29 .... The medical industrial complex realizes that a healthier nation not as dependent and status as a physician29 .... Treating Type-2 diabetes is another industry that has proven to be extremely lucrative for today’s medical industrial complex35 .

Critical Thinking Skills: The article claims that many practicing doctors have "completely broken" minds and lack critical thinking skills, instead being complete followers of established medical training30 . What I mean by this is that the way doctors have been trained to think, the fact that most doctors are complete followers, they lack critical thinking skills, and they certainly lack the courage to step out of line and30 . Americans must learn to undoctor themselves, to completely avoid becoming dependent on an increasingly costly and ineffective Healthcare system33 .

Pharmaceutical Drugs: The article criticizes the medical care model built around pharmaceutical drugs, which most physicians adhere to since their initial training34 . If a patient is not feeling well, give him a pill. If that same pill is giving the patient in turn, are forever wed to pharmaceutical drugs which are often highly toxic and create debilitating side effects34 .... Doctors who heal may not necessarily end all pharmaceutical drugs for their patients because they recognize that, at times, it may prove beneficial. But they are not so quick to place their patients on the pharmaceutical Ferris wheel when other options are readily available, especially those based on nutrition and lifestyle33 ....

Title: De-Dollarization Was Always More of a Political Slogan Than a Pecuniary Fact , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.lewrockwell.com https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/no_author/de-dollarization-was-always-more-of-a-political-slogan-than-a-pecuniary-fact/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article posits that the idea of BRICS nations actively coordinating policies to move away from the US dollar has been overstated and is more of a political slogan38 ....

•

It highlights the diverse positions among BRICS members regarding de-dollarization, with Russia being the most active due to necessity, while China and India maintain complex economic ties with the West39 ....

•

The author suggests that while some countries may diversify their foreign currency reserves, a complete and unified move away from the dollar by major players is unlikely in the near future42 .

Key words: De-dollarization: This is presented as more of a political slogan than a significant economic reality, referring to the idea of countries moving away from using the US dollar in international trade and finance38 .... So, the suggestion or the assumption that somewhere there is a united BRICS position against the dollar, I think, is not borne out by facts40 . These observations about Russia, India, and China’s diverse views towards the dollar show that de-dollarization was always more of a political slogan than a pecuniary fact39 ....

BRICS: This acronym represents a group of countries (originally Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, with more recent additions) often discussed in the context of challenging the existing global financial order and potentially moving away from the dominance of the US dollar38 .... This paradigm predisposed observers to imagine that BRICS, which represents the World Majority, is actively coordinating de-dollarization policies in order to decouple themselves from the West’s financial clutches38 . I think BRICS members, and now that we have more members, have very diverse positions on this matter40 .

Multipolarity: This concept is related to the idea of a global system with multiple centers of power, as opposed to a unipolar system dominated by one country (like the US). The article suggests that while a move towards financial multipolarity is occurring through currency diversification, it doesn't necessarily equate to immediate de-dollarization42 .... Any breakthrough in Russian-US relations would inevitably disappoint those multipolar enthusiasts who bought into the most ideologically dogmatic narratives of the New Cold War and consequently believed that Russia would forever eschew the dollar out of principle43 . This enables them to strengthen their sovereignty in a meaningful and realistic way without risking the ire of major players by actively dropping their currency and/or actively adopting their rival’s. It’s this balance that will come to define financial multipolarity processes42 .

Title: Dems and Blob Together by James Howard Kunstler , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.lewrockwell.com https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/james-howard-kunstler/dems-and-blob-together/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article claims that the Democratic Party and "blob" actors are facing potential accountability for their actions, particularly regarding COVID-19 and vaccine programs44 ....

•

It suggests that these groups, previously mutually supportive, are now in a precarious situation as truths emerge and a new "officialdom" seeks reform44 ....

•

The author uses strong, metaphorical language to describe their impending "destruction" and desperate reactions45 ....

Key words: Democratic Party: This is one of the two major political parties in the United States, which the author claims is no longer able to defend certain officials and policies, particularly in relation to COVID-1944 . The Democratic Party is no longer in a position to defend them, and conversely the blob actors are in no position anymore to protect their allies in the Dem Party44 . America’s elite managerial class — Dems and blob together — find themselves like Pharoah’s Army of old, trapped by an onrushing flood of destruction45 .

Blob: This term, used by the author, likely refers to a nebulous group of establishment figures or the entrenched bureaucracy, possibly encompassing those in government agencies and other influential positions, who are now allegedly unable to protect their Democratic allies44 .... The Democratic Party is no longer in a position to defend them, and conversely the blob actors are in no position anymore to protect their allies in the Dem Party44 . America’s elite managerial class — Dems and blob together — find themselves like Pharoah’s Army of old, trapped by an onrushing flood of destruction45 .

Covid-19 and its dastardly vaccine program: These refer to the events and policies related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent vaccination efforts, which the author describes negatively and suggests are contributing to the downfall of the "Dems and blob" due to emerging truths45 . Between all that and the cascade of truth finally emerging about Covid-19 and its dastardly vaccine program, America’s elite managerial class — Dems and blob together — find themselves like Pharoah’s Army of old, trapped by an onrushing flood of destruction45 .

Title: Saying Goodbye to Benjamin Netanyahu Is Long Overdue by Philip Giraldi , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.lewrockwell.com https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/philip-giraldi/saying-goodbye-to-benjamin-netanyahu-is-long-overdue/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article strongly criticizes Benjamin Netanyahu and accuses him of war crimes against Palestine, including cutting off essential supplies to Gazans47 ....

•

It argues that the US, under both Trump and previous administrations, has been complicit in Israeli actions and that the US-Israel relationship is one where Israel, through its lobby, often dictates US policy47 ....

•

The author suggests that Israel is not the democratic and valued ally it is portrayed as in US media and that its actions often harm US interests50 ....

Key words: Benjamin Netanyahu: The current Prime Minister of Israel, who is the central figure of criticism in the article for his policies and actions towards Palestine and for allegedly manipulating the US-Israel relationship47 .... The most recent abomination committed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his band of thugs is the cutting off of food, medicine and temporary housing to the Gazans47 .... On Netanyahu’s recent visit to the White House, he presented Trump with a mounted Golden Pager52 .

Israel Lobby: This refers to the network of individuals and organizations within the US that advocate for policies favorable to the state of Israel, which the author claims exerts significant and often detrimental influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East49 .... but nothing could be further from the truth as even a cursory examination of the one sidedness of the relationship reveals that it is Israel often acting through its US domestic lobby that is actually running the show49 . Much of the corruption of American institutions by Israel has to do with Jewish money which has influenced the shift of foreign policy views of both major US political parties53 .

War Crimes: The article accuses the state of Israel, under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, of committing war crimes against its neighbors, specifically mentioning the cutting off of food, medicine, and housing to Gazans47 . President Donald Trump’s address to Congress and the nation on Tuesday night was remarkably devoid of any mention of why the United States continues to both enable and be complicit in the Ukrainian conflict with Russia as well as with the war crimes that are being committed by the state of Israel against nearly all its neighbors on a daily basis47 .

Title: The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded by Joachim Bartoll , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.bartoll.se https://bartoll.se/2025/03/stupid-diets-and-what-to-do/

Key Takeaways:

•

The author critiques mainstream dieting advice, exemplified by a T-Nation article promoting rapid fat loss through severe calorie restriction and excessive exercise, labeling it "retarded" and unhealthy54 ....

•

Bartoll advocates for a natural human diet based on animal foods, consumed to maintain weight, combined with scheduled dry fasting (two days a week) as a more effective and safe strategy for fat loss56 ....

•

He emphasizes the importance of nutrient-dense animal foods, including fats and cholesterol, for overall health and muscle retention, contrasting this with the perceived deficiencies of plant-based and high-carbohydrate diets58 ....

Key words: Carnivore Diet: This refers to a dietary approach focused on consuming animal-based foods, which the author considers the natural human diet and essential for being fully nourished55 .... Simply make sure you follow our natural human diet of animal-based foods, eat as you always do to maintain your weight and be fully nourished56 . And you can only be fully nourished if you follow a real carnivore diet, which most people do not, especially not the average deceived and dumbed-down reader of T-Nation55 ....

Dry Fasting: This is presented as a highly effective method for fat loss and overall health, involving abstaining from both food and water for specific periods, such as two days a week57 .... Before Russia was infiltrated by the inverted and evil Westernized Modern Medicine pushed by the Rockefellers, they used dry fasting to heal pretty much any ailment62 . Simply consume nutritious food for maintenance of your body weight five days a week, and then do two days of dry fasting57 .

Nutrient Deficiencies: The author warns against the risk of developing nutrient deficiencies through prolonged calorie restriction, advocating instead for a nutrient-dense animal-based diet54 .... Never set yourself up for starvation and the risk of developing nutrient deficiencies by consuming less food for extended periods of time. That’s just retarded54 .... Simply consume nutritious food for maintenance of your body weight five days a week, and then do two days of dry fasting. That will be at least twice as effective than any “calorie reduction” diet plan in existence, and without the dangers of developing nutrient deficiencies, losing muscle mass, shutting down your hormones, or slowing down your metabolism57 .

Title: The real reason why this winter’s flu is the worst for years by Rhoda Wilson , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.expose-news.com https://expose-news.com/2025/03/09/why-this-winters-flu-is-the-worst-for-years/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article, citing Dr. Vernon Coleman, suggests that the severity of the 2025 flu season is due to factors such as lockdown laws, social distancing weakening immune systems, and the COVID-19 vaccine making people more susceptible to infections63 .

•

Dr. Coleman also highlights the deliberate dimming of the sun leading to reduced vitamin D levels and the use of live nasal flu vaccines in children as contributing factors to increased flu severity and spread, particularly to the elderly64 ....

•

The author and Dr. Coleman express skepticism towards mainstream media explanations for the flu's severity, such as lack of flu vaccination, and suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine is a primary cause of weakened immunity65 ....

Key words: Immune Systems: Dr. Vernon Coleman argues that lockdown laws, social distancing, and especially the COVID-19 vaccine have damaged immune systems, making people more susceptible to the severe flu season of 202563 .... Dr. Vernon Coleman attributes the severity of the flu season to factors such as lockdown laws, social distancing and the covid-19 vaccine, which he says has damaged immune systems and made people more susceptible to infection63 . Way, way back when the most toxic vaccine in history was first introduced, I warned that it would damage immune systems AND make the vaccinated more susceptible to other infections in the future – dangerously so65 ....

Vitamin D: The article mentions the deliberate dimming of the sun as a factor reducing vitamin D levels in people, which Dr. Coleman states makes them more susceptible to infections, including the flu64 .... Other causal factors Dr. Coleman highlights are the deliberate dimming of the sun, which reduces vitamin D levels, and the use of live nasal flu vaccines in children, which can spread the flu to others, particularly the elderly64 . Second, the deliberate dimming of the sun ... means that people are now getting very little vitamin D. Without vitamin D they are more susceptible to infection65 .

Live Nasal Flu Vaccines: Dr. Coleman points to the use of live nasal flu vaccines in children as a reason for the severe flu season, arguing that these vaccines can spread the live virus to others, especially the elderly, leading to more deaths64 .... Other causal factors Dr. Coleman highlights are the deliberate dimming of the sun ... and the use of live nasal flu vaccines in children, which can spread the flu to others, particularly the elderly64 . Doctors and nurses have been busy giving nasal flu vaccines to zillions of children. They say the nasal flu vaccine is “attenuated.” But that means that it is live. And when the kids with the nasal flu vaccine up their noses go to see Grandma and Grandpa they give them the flu and kill them66 .

Title: Yes, Trump is vulgar. But the US global shakedown is the same one as ever by Jonathan Cook , SHORT SUMMARY OF ARTICLE , www.unz.com https://www.unz.com/article/yes-trump-is-vulgar-but-the-us-global-shakedown-is-the-same-one-as-ever/

Key Takeaways:

•

The article argues that US foreign policy, regardless of who is in power, operates as a "global shakedown" to maintain "global full-spectrum domination"70 .

•

It uses the situation in Ukraine to illustrate this point, suggesting that US involvement is driven by economic interests, particularly the control of rare earth minerals, and a desire to exclude China71 ....

•

The author portrays US alliances as transactional and self-serving, referencing Henry Kissinger's quote about the dangers of being America's friend74 .

Key words: Global Full-Spectrum Domination: This Pentagon doctrine is mentioned as the underlying goal of US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War, characterized by an aggressive pursuit of control worldwide70 . Washington is better understood as the head of a gangster empire, embracing 800 military bases around the world. Since the end of the Cold War, it has been aggressively seeking “global full-spectrum domination”, as the Pentagon doctrine politely terms it70 .

Global Shakedown: This is the author's term for the consistent nature of US foreign policy, which he describes as a form of coercion and exploitation of other nations for its own benefit, regardless of political rhetoric or leadership changes70 .... Yes, Trump is vulgar. But the US global shakedown is the same one as ever70 . Zelensky’s shakedown did not come out of the blue. Trump and his officials had been flagging it well in advance72 .

Rare Earth Minerals: These are highlighted as a key economic interest driving US involvement in Ukraine, with the article suggesting that the US aims to control Ukraine's deposits, critical for future technology, and reduce dependence on China for these resources72 .... Trump’s team believes that Ukraine may have rare-earth minerals under the ground worth some $15 trillion – a treasure trove that will be critical to the development of the next generation of technology72 . At their Oval Office confrontation, Trump reiterated this goal: “So we’re going to be using that [Ukraine’s rare earth minerals], taking it, using it for all of the things we do, including AI, and including weapons, and the military. And it’s really going to very much satisfy our needs.”75 .

Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System, by Ambrose Kane - The Unz Review

Mar. 5th, 2025 

This article from The Unz Review, titled "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System," critically examines the shortcomings of America's healthcare system and the role of physicians within it. The author, Ambrose Kane, argues that the system is primarily driven by profit motives rather than patient well-being, leading to ineffective treatment, particularly for chronic diseases. Kane contends that many doctors are complicit in this broken system due to their training, fear of reprisal, and a lack of critical thinking, exemplified by their response during the Covid-19 pandemic. The article ultimately encourages readers to become more knowledgeable about their own health and less reliant on a system that prioritizes financial gain over genuine healing. 

Based on the sources, there is significant discussion about a "broken medical system," primarily within the American context, but also with some reference to Australia's aged care system. Here's a breakdown of the issues highlighted:

High Costs and Profit-Driven System: The American healthcare system is described as enormously costly because it is designed to be that way, with modern medicine being a business first and foremost1 . The medical industrial complex is seen to prioritize monetary profits over the health of patients1 .... This profit motive is suggested to influence treatment approaches, favoring pharmaceutical interventions over potentially more effective but less lucrative methods like dietary changes for chronic diseases3 .... The high cost of healthcare is exacerbated by the overuse of procedures and protocols, encouraged by a system where providers are compensated for each service, leading to potentially exaggerated and fraudulent invoices5 .... The sale of cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins, exceeding $20 billion annually in the U.S., is cited as an example of how financial incentives can maintain certain medical beliefs, even if contradictory evidence exists7 . Similarly, the profitability of diabetes treatments, with projected profits reaching $26.28 billion by 2025, is mentioned as a reason why the reversibility of Type-2 diabetes through diet might not be widely emphasized by doctors8 ....

Issues with Doctors and Their Training: The source "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System" argues that many practicing doctors have "broken minds," meaning they have been trained to be followers, lacking critical thinking skills and the courage to question established norms11 .... During the COVID-19 pandemic, most doctors are said to have fallen in line with the authorized message, with those questioning vaccine safety or effectiveness facing threats to their medical licenses12 .... This compliance is seen as contributing to mass deceptions14 . Furthermore, doctors are criticized for primarily treating symptoms rather than considering the whole person and the root causes of chronic diseases, particularly neglecting the crucial role of diet and nutrition in health3 .... Their training is described as lacking in comprehensive nutritional education3 . Many doctors are portrayed as "pill pushers" who readily prescribe drugs, sometimes to combat the side effects of other drugs, rather than seeking to heal patients17 ....

Ineffective Treatment of Chronic Diseases: The prevailing medical approach is criticized for being ineffective in treating chronic diseases like heart disease and Type-2 diabetes15 .... The "Lipid Hypothesis," which blames saturated fat for heart disease, is presented as a long-standing dogma despite evidence suggesting the importance of other factors like refined sugars and processed carbohydrates22 .... The medical system is also faulted for not adequately informing patients that Type-2 diabetes can potentially be reversed through dietary changes8 ....

Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry: Large pharmaceutical corporations are depicted as having significant influence over the medical system, as a physician who heals chronic disease through methods other than drugs does not generate the desired revenue4 . The focus on pharmaceutical drugs is seen as a lucrative model that many physicians adhere to29 .

The Need to "Undoctor" Oneself: The article suggests that Americans need to "undoctor" themselves by becoming knowledgeable about health, nutrition, and supplements, and by becoming their own advocates in healthcare decisions, rather than blindly relying on doctors' recommendations30 .... Doctors may feel threatened by "undoctored" individuals who become less dependent on their expertise32 .

Corruption within the Healthcare System: The source mentions rampant corruption within the healthcare industry, including insurance companies, where financial incentives can lead to the overuse of treatments and potentially fraudulent billing5 ....

COVID-19 Pandemic Response: The response to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented as an example of the broken system, with compliant doctors and suppression of dissenting views12 .... In Australia, there are allegations that the use of chemical restraints like midazolam and morphine in aged care facilities may have hastened the deaths of elderly residents, and that sedation was recommended for COVID-19 patients and those unable to follow infection control measures35 .... The 2025 flu season being severe is attributed by one source to factors including the COVID-19 vaccine damaging immune systems46 ....

Impact of War Spending on Healthcare: The perpetual wars undertaken by the U.S. are described as having denied millions of Americans decent income, adequate housing, needed foods, necessary health care, and other essential goods and services50 . The significant financial investment in war is seen as an "opportunity cost," diverting funds that could be used for things like fighting poverty or improving healthcare infrastructure51 ....

In summary, the sources paint a picture of a medical system, particularly in the U.S., that is heavily influenced by profit, leading to high costs, a focus on pharmaceutical treatments over holistic care, potentially inadequate training of doctors, and ineffective management of chronic diseases. There are also allegations of corruption and suppression of alternative perspectives within the medical establishment. The COVID-19 pandemic and the situation in Australian aged care are presented as further examples of systemic issues and potential harms.

Discuss Ineffective chronic disease treatment.

The source "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System" discusses why the current healthcare system is ineffective in treating chronic diseases1 . According to the author, Ambrose Kane, a major reason for this ineffectiveness is that doctors are trained to treat symptoms rather than considering the whole person and the interconnectedness of the body1 . This leads to a rejection of a holistic approach, which recognizes that chronic diseases are often related to diet, a subject most doctors are allegedly uninformed about1 ....

Kane argues that treating chronic diseases through diet is not as profitable as prescribing pharmaceutical drugs2 .... A physician who heals chronic disease through lifestyle changes does not generate the ongoing revenue that pharmaceutical companies desire through long-term prescriptions3 . The current model of medical care, built around pharmaceutical drugs, encourages the prescription of multiple costly drugs, sometimes to combat the side effects of other drugs, turning patients into "walking pill boxes"4 ....

The author draws a parallel between the healthcare system and the prison system, suggesting that while the former has numerous procedures to deal with illness, it doesn't provide health in a meaningful way6 . Many physicians are seen not as "healers" but as managers of pain or the health of their patients, leading to patients being perpetually reliant on pharmaceutical drugs with potential toxic effects and debilitating side effects6 ....

Kane quotes Dr. William Davis, who states that "Health care is no more about healing than gambling on horse races is about preparing for retirement"7 . The modern doctor is depicted as helping patients cope with ailments through pills rather than addressing the root cause and healing them8 . In contrast, "doctors who are healers" are described as those who counsel patients on diet, address nutritional deficiencies, and advise on lifestyle changes to combat diseases like arthritis, chronic kidney disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's9 .... While not entirely against pharmaceutical drugs, they are not the first option when nutritional and lifestyle-based solutions are available10 ....

The article also criticizes the treatment approaches for specific chronic diseases:

•

Heart Disease: The prevailing "Lipid Hypothesis," which blames saturated fat for heart disease, is questioned. The author suggests that refined sugars, processed carbs, and seed oils are more likely culprits12 .... Despite emerging research challenging the demonization of saturated fat and cholesterol, doctors continue to adhere to this dogma, possibly due to a reluctance to challenge the medical system or because of the massive profits generated by cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins15 .... The author also points out that statin use can have negative side effects17 .

•

Type-2 Diabetes: The author states that Type-2 diabetes can be reversed through diet, a fact rarely mentioned by doctors18 .... Standard dietary guidelines for diabetics, which often include moderate carbohydrate consumption, are criticized as promoting the very foods that cause the disease20 . The focus on glucose-lowering drugs like Metformin, with its multi-billion dollar market, is suggested as a reason why dietary interventions for reversing diabetes are not emphasized21 .

The author concludes by advocating for individuals to "undoctor themselves" by becoming knowledgeable about health, nutrition, and supplements, and to be their own advocates in healthcare decisions11 .... Blindly following a physician's recommendations without personal research is deemed "foolhardy"22 . The medical profession's reputation is portrayed as having declined due to complacency and an unwillingness to resist the greed within medical institutions, contributing to unaffordable healthcare23 .

Discuss Compliant doctors.

The sources discuss the issue of "compliant doctors" primarily in the context of the American medical system and the COVID-19 pandemic1 . Here's a breakdown of the key points:

•

Lack of Critical Thinking and Courage: According to Dr. Suneel Dhand, as cited in "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System," many practicing doctors have "broken minds"2 . This means they have been trained to be followers, lacking critical thinking skills and the courage to step out of line to ask questions when necessary1 ....

•

Obedience During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The response of doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic is presented as a prime example of this compliance1 . Almost all doctors are said to have fallen in line with the "authorized message"1 . Any physician who deviated from this message or questioned the safety or effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine faced becoming an "anathema to the medical establishment"1 .

•

Threats to Medical Licenses: The sources highlight that medical licenses were immediately threatened for even slight deviations from the official COVID-19 narrative3 . This created a climate where doctors were unwilling to question or contradict the established views, even when faced with "baseless public rules"3 .

•

Dismissal of Alternative Treatments: Doctors are reported to have dismissed proven or potential treatments against the COVID-19 virus, like hydroxychloroquine, as "mere 'horse medicine'" with little hesitation, simply because they were urged to do so3 .

•

Downplaying of Vaccine Risks: Even with "mounting evidence that the Covid vaccine increased the risk of myocarditis," authorities mostly downplayed these concerns, and compliant doctors followed suit3 . Serious investigations only occurred later, after numerous reports of heart complications in young athletes4 .

•

Contribution to Mass Deception: By largely taking part in what is described as the "Covid scam" with little resistance, doctors are said to have discredited themselves among many Americans4 . They are portrayed as having demonstrated that they are "compliant sheep" unwilling to adhere to "science" when it contradicted the official narrative4 . Like Anthony Fauci, these doctors are accused of contributing to "one of the greatest mass deceptions in human history"5 .

•

Profit Over Patient Well-being: The article suggests that the enormous profits associated with the mRNA vaccines made the medical establishment resistant to removing them from the market, even when their effectiveness was questionable and they caused harm to millions5 . Compliant doctors are implied to have played a role in this by not challenging the narrative that supported these profits5 .

•

Erosion of Public Trust: The compliant behavior of doctors during the pandemic is identified as a major reason why many Americans became disillusioned with doctors in general and the entire healthcare system6 . This lack of trust is seen as something doctors brought upon themselves through their "arrogance and closed minds" and their role as "entrenched supporters of the medical establishment"6 .

•

Impact Beyond Pandemics: While the COVID-19 pandemic provides a stark example, the source suggests that this compliance extends to other areas, such as the ineffective treatment of chronic diseases, where doctors prioritize pharmaceutical interventions over potentially more effective lifestyle changes, aligning with the profit-driven nature of the medical system7 ....

In summary, the sources, particularly "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System," argue that a significant number of doctors exhibit a problematic level of compliance with established medical narratives and authorities, potentially driven by fear of repercussions and the influence of a profit-oriented system. This compliance is seen as detrimental to patient well-being and public trust in the medical profession, especially highlighted by the events of the COVID-19 pandemic1 ....

Discuss Pharmaceutical industry profits.

Based on the sources and our conversation history, the pharmaceutical industry is depicted as a highly profitable sector, where financial gains often take precedence over patient health [86, Our conversation]. Here's a breakdown of the key points:

•

The source "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System" explicitly states that the medical industrial complex recognizes that a healthier nation, less dependent on doctors and drugs, would significantly reduce its monetary profits1 . This sets the stage for understanding the potential influence of profit on the industry.

•

The article argues that the current medical system's ineffectiveness in treating chronic diseases is partly due to the fact that curing diseases through diet and lifestyle changes is less lucrative than prescribing pharmaceutical drugs2 . Doctors who prioritize healing over symptom management through medication are seen as not generating the sustained revenue desired by large pharmaceutical corporations3 .

•

The sale of specific drug categories demonstrates the enormous profits involved:

◦

Statin drugs, used to lower cholesterol, exceed $20 billion in annual sales in the U.S.4 . The article suggests that this massive revenue stream is a reason why the medical establishment might be resistant to alternative views on cholesterol and heart disease4 ....

◦

The market for Metformin, a glucose-lowering drug for diabetes, is around $4.17 billion annually, with the global market projected to surpass $6 billion by 20306 . The total sales of all glucose-lowering drugs in the U.S. are estimated at $57.6 billion per year6 . The article implies that these substantial profits contribute to a system that favors medication over potentially reversible conditions through diet6 ....

•

The "America's Perpetual War" source, while focusing on the military-industrial complex, provides a broader context of how profit maximization drives large systems8 .... War corporations' profits are described as "abnormally maximized" through various means like research grants, tax incentives, and quasi-monopolies9 . This analogy suggests that large-scale industries, including pharmaceuticals, can be structured to prioritize profit generation.

•

Our previous discussion highlighted how the profit motive in the medical system can influence treatment approaches, often favoring pharmaceutical interventions [Our conversation].

In summary, the sources and our conversation history indicate that the pharmaceutical industry operates within a system where profit is a significant driving force. The substantial revenues generated by drugs for chronic conditions like high cholesterol and diabetes are highlighted as examples of the industry's profitability. The "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System" article further argues that this profit motive can sometimes be at odds with the goal of effectively treating and healing patients, particularly when less lucrative but potentially more impactful approaches like dietary changes are available.

Discuss Importance of nutrition.

The importance of nutrition is a significant theme, particularly in the source "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System"1 ..., and it is also relevant to the discussion of ineffective chronic disease treatment in our conversation history. Here's a breakdown of why nutrition is presented as crucial:

•

Foundation of Health and Longevity: Following a "species-appropriate, species-specific and natural diet" is presented as essential for both looking good and prioritizing health and longevity40 . This natural human diet is described as animal-based foods41 .

•

Central Role in Chronic Disease: The source "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System" strongly argues that almost the entirety of chronic disease is related to diet, yet most doctors are allegedly uninformed about this6 ....

•

Healing Potential: The author suggests that individuals can "self-heal and resolve their ailments by simply eating nutrient dense food, eliminating foods that create inflammation in the body, practicing intermittent fasting and exercising regularly"7 .... This implies that proper nutrition can be a primary form of treatment and even a cure for many chronic conditions.

•

Contrast with Pharmaceutical Approach: The emphasis on nutrition stands in stark contrast to the prevailing medical model that relies heavily on pharmaceutical drugs8 .... The author contends that curing chronic disease through diet is not particularly lucrative for pharmaceutical corporations, as it reduces the need for expensive medications and long-term prescriptions7 ....

•

Specific Diseases and Nutritional Interventions: The source provides examples of how nutrition can impact specific chronic diseases12 ...:

◦

Arthritis and Joint Pain: Reducing inflammation through nutrition.

◦

Chronic Kidney Disease: Eliminating sugar and processed carbohydrates.

◦

Dementia or Alzheimer's: Ending consumption of refined sugars, alcohol, grains, and anything metabolized as sugar.

◦

Heart Disease: Questioning the focus on saturated fat and suggesting refined sugars, processed carbs, and seed oils as more likely culprits. The author also notes the potential benefits of adequate cholesterol intake, especially in older individuals19 ....

◦

Type-2 Diabetes: Asserting that it can be reversed by ignoring standard dietary guidelines and adopting a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet32 .... The current guidelines, which often recommend moderate carbohydrate intake, are criticized as counterproductive35 .

•

Nutritional Deficiencies and Overall Health: "Doctors who are healers" are described as those who counsel patients on diet and correct common nutritional deficiencies12 . This highlights the importance of obtaining adequate nutrients for overall well-being and disease prevention.

•

Challenging Established Dogma: The article criticizes the medical establishment's adherence to certain nutritional beliefs, such as the demonization of saturated fat, despite evidence suggesting otherwise23 .... This underscores the need for a more informed and evidence-based approach to nutrition in healthcare.

•

Empowering Individuals: The call to "undoctor yourself" emphasizes the importance of individuals taking responsibility for their own health by learning about nutrition and making informed dietary choices14 .

•

Connection to Fasting: Another source, "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet," mentions the benefits of a "natural human diet of animal-based foods" in conjunction with fasting for fat loss and overall health41 .... It suggests that proper nutrition makes the body more metabolically healthy and better able to utilize fat as fuel during fasting40 ....

In summary, the sources, particularly "Broken Doctors for a Broken Medical System," present nutrition as a cornerstone of health, disease prevention, and even treatment for chronic conditions. They criticize the current medical system for allegedly underemphasizing nutrition in favor of pharmaceutical interventions, potentially due to profit motives and a lack of adequate training for doctors in this area. The sources advocate for individuals to become more knowledgeable about nutrition and to prioritize a healthy diet as a key component of their well-being.

The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded

By Joachim Bartoll | Mar. 9th, 2025 

Summary

This article, titled "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet - And How To Actually Get Shredded," by Joachim Bartoll critiques a dieting article from the website T-Nation, which Bartoll characterizes as promoting ineffective and unhealthy approaches to fat loss. Bartoll argues against calorie restriction and excessive exercise, favoring a "species-appropriate" animal-based diet consumed to maintain weight, combined with scheduled dry fasting. The central theme is a rejection of conventional "dieting" in favor of a natural, evolutionary-aligned eating pattern and the strategic use of fasting for efficient fat loss and health benefits. Bartoll positions his approach as superior, citing historical uses of fasting and emphasizing the importance of nutrient-dense animal foods over supplements and restrictive calorie plans.

Discuss Retarded diet.

The term "Retarded Diet" is used in the article "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded" by Joachim Bartoll to critically discuss a weight loss approach presented by T-Nation, a former bodybuilding web magazine1 . Bartoll considers this diet to be misguided and unhealthy2 ....

According to the T-Nation article, the "most effective way to lose fat" is to "knock roughly 300-500 calories off your maintenance intake, eat about a gram of protein per pound of body weight, and lift weights"2 . Bartoll labels this approach as "terrible" and "retarded," arguing that it sets individuals up for starvation and the risk of developing nutrient deficiencies due to prolonged calorie restriction2 ....

Bartoll further discusses a more extreme "rapid fat loss" diet presented by T-Nation, which he refers to as "crazy-pants" and "totally bonkers"5 .... This diet involved an experiment where overweight men consumed only 320 calories per day for four days, either from whey protein or a sucrose drink, divided into three small "meals"7 . This severely restricted caloric intake was combined with an intense daily exercise regimen of 45 minutes of hand-cranking and 8 hours of walking on a treadmill (totaling 22 miles)3 ....

The study found that participants lost an average of one pound of fat per day during this four-day period, with the rest of the weight loss being attributed to water8 . Surprisingly, the subjects did not appear to lose muscle during this short period8 .... Despite the fat loss, Bartoll deems this extreme approach "stupid beyond words," "extremely unhealthy," and not providing any valuable information since the physiological and biochemical principles should already be understood3 .

In contrast to this "retarded approach," Bartoll advocates for a natural human diet consisting of animal-based foods, eaten to maintain weight, combined with slowly working up to two days a week of fasting4 . He also mentions the benefits of dry fasting, which he claims is about three times more effective than fasting with water for healing and fat loss10 .... Bartoll argues that his recommended approach is more effective and avoids the dangers of nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, hormonal disruption, and slowed metabolism associated with severe calorie restriction and excessive exercise13 .

Discuss Getting shredded.

The article "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded" by Joachim Bartoll discusses how to achieve a very low body fat percentage, or "get shredded"1 . Bartoll criticizes extreme and unsustainable methods often promoted for rapid fat loss and offers his own recommendations based on a natural human diet and fasting2 ....

Bartoll specifically addresses the common advice of reducing calorie intake significantly and engaging in excessive exercise to lose fat quickly. He refers to this approach, exemplified by the T-Nation article he critiques, as "retarded" and "nutty"4 .... He argues that such methods can lead to starvation, nutrient deficiencies, extreme stress on the body, and potential muscle loss, especially over extended periods4 ....

Instead, Bartoll proposes a more sustainable and effective approach to "actually get shredded" that involves the following key principles3 ...:

•

Following a natural human diet of animal-based foods: Bartoll emphasizes consuming a species-appropriate diet consisting of meat, animal fats, and cholesterol, which he believes provides all the essential nutrients3 .... He argues that this diet supports the body's natural fat metabolism7 .

•

Eating to maintain your weight: Initially, Bartoll suggests eating sufficient amounts of animal-based foods to maintain your current body weight and ensure full nourishment5 ....

•

Incorporating scheduled fasting: He recommends gradually working up to two days a week of fasting by removing meals from two separate days5 . He claims this is a simple and effective strategy for fat loss without the negative consequences of calorie restriction5 ....

•

Considering dry fasting for very lean individuals: For those already lean (below 6% body fat for men or 10% for women) and wanting to get even leaner for purposes like photo shoots or competitions, Bartoll suggests incorporating dry fasting for periods7 .... He claims that dry fasting, where you abstain from both food and water, is about three times more effective than water fasting for fat loss and healing through autophagy14 . He advises cutting back on fasting windows as you become very lean13 .

•

Combining diet and fasting with appropriate exercise: While criticizing excessive exercise for rapid fat loss, Bartoll implies that lifting weights is still part of a fitness regimen4 .... He suggests having a day off from lifting or doing maintenance work on fasting days and focusing on training on feeding days15 .

•

Prioritizing nutrient density: Bartoll stresses the importance of consuming nutrient-dense animal foods, including animal fats and cholesterol, to prevent nutrient deficiencies and muscle loss, especially when aiming for a very low body fat percentage9 .... He criticizes plant-based diets as potentially toxic and lacking in essential nutrients10 .

In summary, Bartoll's approach to "getting shredded" focuses on adopting a natural, nutrient-rich animal-based diet consumed at maintenance levels, combined strategically with scheduled fasting, and potentially dry fasting for those already very lean. He contrasts this with what he considers the "retarded" approach of severe calorie restriction and excessive exercise, which he believes is unsustainable and detrimental to health1 ....

Discuss Natural diet.

In the article "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded," Joachim Bartoll strongly advocates for what he terms a "natural human diet"1 . This diet is described as "species-appropriate, species-specific and natural"2 and is explicitly based on animal-based foods1 .

According to Bartoll, following this natural diet involves eating animal-based foods to maintain your weight and be fully nourished1 . He believes that this type of diet aligns with our natural physiology and provides all the necessary essential nutrients3 .... He emphasizes the importance of including animal fat and cholesterol in the diet, considering them essential not only for fuel but also for cell function and hormone production5 .

Bartoll contrasts this natural, animal-based diet with the conventional advice of calorie restriction for fat loss, which he labels as "retarded"1 . He also criticizes plant-based diets, describing them as potentially "toxic" and lacking in nutrients4 . Furthermore, he considers carbohydrates to be "extremely toxic" and devoid of other nutrients, simply taking up space in the diet5 .

In the context of achieving a very lean physique ("getting shredded"), Bartoll suggests that this natural animal-based diet forms the foundation6 . He advises consuming nutrient-dense animal foods, including plenty of animal fats and cholesterol, to prevent muscle loss, especially when combined with fasting6 .

In essence, Bartoll's "natural diet" as discussed in the source is a carnivorous approach, prioritizing the consumption of animal products for optimal health and as a basis for effective and sustainable fat loss strategies like fasting1 ....

Discuss Scheduled fasting.

In the article "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded," Joachim Bartoll discusses scheduled fasting as a key component of his recommended approach to fat loss and achieving a lean physique1 ....

According to Bartoll, after adopting a natural human diet of animal-based foods and eating to maintain your weight and nourishment, the next step is to incorporate scheduled fasting1 . He suggests slowly working up to fasting for two days a week by removing meals on two separate days1 .

Bartoll positions scheduled fasting as a superior alternative to the common practice of calorie reduction for weight loss, which he strongly criticizes1 .... He argues that calorie restriction can lead to starvation and nutrient deficiencies, while scheduled fasting allows the body to utilize stored fat for fuel without these negative consequences1 .... He also claims that fasting offers healing and detoxification benefits5 .

For individuals who are already very lean (below 6% body fat for men or 10% for women) and aiming for even lower body fat, Bartoll discusses a more intense form of scheduled fasting: dry fasting2 .... He states that dry fasting (abstaining from both food and water) is about three times more effective than water fasting for fat loss and promoting healing through autophagy6 . He advises those who are very lean to cut back on the fasting windows, perhaps starting with a shorter fasting period like from 4 p.m. to the afternoon of the next day, and then further adjusting as needed7 .

Bartoll also touches on the relationship between scheduled fasting and exercise8 . He recommends having a day off from intense weightlifting on fasting days, suggesting either rest or maintenance work for major muscle groups, while focusing on more demanding training on the days when you are eating8 .

In summary, Bartoll's concept of scheduled fasting involves integrating regular periods of not eating into a dietary pattern based on nutrient-dense animal foods. He advocates for it as an effective and health-conscious strategy for fat loss and overall well-being, contrasting it with what he considers the detrimental effects of chronic calorie restriction4 .... For those seeking extreme leanness, he also introduces the concept of dry fasting within a scheduled framework2 ....

Discuss Dry fasting.

In the article "The Most Certainly Retarded Diet — And How To Actually Get Shredded," Joachim Bartoll discusses dry fasting as a more advanced and potent form of fasting, especially beneficial for individuals who are already very lean and want to achieve extremely low body fat percentages1 ....

Here are the key points Bartoll makes about dry fasting:

•

Definition: Dry fasting involves abstaining from both food and water for a specified period3 . This distinguishes it from other forms of fasting, such as water fasting, where water is consumed3 .

•

Enhanced Fat Loss: Bartoll claims that dry fasting is significantly more effective for fat loss than other methods. He states that you can use up about a pound of body fat a day during dry fasting without any exercise, especially if you are metabolically healthy and in ketosis1 . He goes further to say that dry fasting is about three times more effective than fasting and drinking water when it comes to using fat as fuel3 .

•

Metabolic Water Production: Bartoll mentions the body's ability to manufacture up to three liters of metabolic water a day during dry fasting. He suggests that this process primarily utilizes fat tissue and damaged cells, contributing to fat loss and the removal of "garbage" from the body3 . He contrasts this with functional muscle tissue, which he claims is protected during real fasting3 .

•

Healing and Detoxification (Autophagy): Bartoll asserts that dry fasting promotes healing through autophagy, the body's process of cleaning out damaged cells and regenerating newer, healthier ones3 . He implies that dry fasting is more effective than water fasting in this regard as well3 .

•

Historical Context: Bartoll notes that dry fasting was used in Russia before the influence of "Westernized Modern Medicine" pushed by the Rockefellers, to heal various ailments. While he acknowledges that the outcomes were sometimes limited by a lack of nutritious animal-based food, he states that patients generally improved4 . He considers old Russian literature to be the best resource on fasting, particularly dry fasting, as it was used within their medical care system for over 40 years3 .

•

Recommendation for Very Lean Individuals: Bartoll suggests considering dry fasting for individuals who are already very lean (below 6% body fat for men or 10% for women) and want to get even leaner for specific purposes like competitions2 . He advises those who are very lean to cut back on the fasting windows compared to someone with more body fat5 .

•
