I remember a friend of a friend was this insufferable Turkish guy called Deren who kept getting cucked by his girlfriend—anyway, he forced us all to go to this Turkish cafe in Stoke Newington called something like “Cafe Z” and I eventually settled on this dish, which is called “menemen” and when I didn’t finish it, he angrily took my plate and ate the rest while mumbling under his breath about the superiority of Turkish cuisine. It’s literally just scrambled eggs with tomato and paprika.

The propaganda war has been going on since at least 1914. It didn't start with the boomers, or even WWII, it started BEFORE WWI.
So how far back does the propaganda war go? How much of what you think you believe is a carefully crafted lie to benefit the warmongers?

Propaganda for War: The Campaign Against American Neutrality, 1914–1917 by H.C. Peterson (1939) is a meticulously researched and unsettling study of the British government’s propaganda efforts to erode American neutrality during the First World War. Peterson argues that Britain conducted a sophisticated effective information campaign centered at the covert Wellington House bureau in London that played a major role in shifting American opinion and ultimately drawing the United States into the war at a cost of more than 116,000 American lives. According to Peterson, Britain secured an immediate informational advantage in August 1914 by cutting Germany’s transatlantic cable, effectively controlling most war news reaching the United States. This was reinforced by an enormous censorship system that expanded from just fourteen censors to more than two thousand by 1916. Through Wellington House and propagandists such as Sir Gilbert Parker, British officials supplied pro-Allied material to hundreds of American newspapers, cultivated professors, journalists, clergy, and civic leaders, and built a mailing network targeting more than 260,000 influential Americans. Recipients were categorized by profession and perceived influence, then sent tailored books, pamphlets, “fact” sheets, and political literature on a massive scale. By 1917, millions of pieces of propaganda had circulated throughout the United States. Peterson highlights the extraordinary reach of the campaign. Beyond newspapers and magazines, British messaging spread through films, posters, cartoons, lecture tours, libraries, universities, churches, women’s clubs, YMCAs, and civic organizations. Internal British documents cited by Peterson reportedly boasted that American media had become thoroughly permeated by Allied influence. One of the book’s most shocking sections concerns atrocity propaganda. Peterson focuses heavily on the Bryce Report of 1915, which described alleged German crimes in Belgium, including mutilated civilians, bayoneted infants, and assaults on nuns. Though many of these stories were later discredited, they were treated as factual by much of the American press and distributed nationwide in tens of thousands of copies. Peterson described the report as “one of the most extreme examples of assassination by word,” arguing that emotional outrage became one of the war’s most powerful weapons. Peterson further argues that economic pressure played a decisive role. Through financial arrangements centered on J.P. Morgan & Co., American banks, factories, and agricultural industries became deeply tied to an Allied victory through massive loans and wartime trade. By the middle of the war, Peterson suggests, influential sectors of the American economy had become too financially entangled with Britain and France to tolerate continued neutrality. The sinking of the RMS Lusitania, which killed 128 Americans, was then used relentlessly to intensify anti-German feeling, despite controversy over the ship’s munitions cargo and repeated prior German warnings published in newspapers warning Americans. Peterson also describes the cultivation of influential American figures, including Theodore Roosevelt, prominent journalists, academics, and advisers close to President Wilson, such as Colonel Edward House. Through selective access, private meetings, and carefully managed information, British officials helped shape elite opinion as well as mass opinion. Written in 1939 on the eve of another world war, Peterson’s book remains one of the most detailed early studies of modern propaganda and psychological warfare. Its enduring impact comes from its portrayal of how media influence, emotional narratives, political access, and economic leverage can combine to reshape public opinion inside a democratic society and gradually move a nation toward war. archive.org/details/propag…

@Empty_America Early boomers might have received them as wedding presents

Zoomers baffled and horrified at encountering the remnants of civilization.
Although the "boomers" didn't buy this stuff, as noted these were purchased in the 50s by GI generation people.
Things like that were still important then, middle class men often owned Tuxedos, etc.

From approximately 1850 to 1980, the standard British remedy for any childhood ailment that could not be cured by a hot flannel was a teaspoon of cod liver oil.
The oil was administered, in many households, daily. By mothers who could not afford a doctor and were operating on a folk tradition that long predated the NHS. By the British government from 1942, which issued cod liver oil free to every child under five and every pregnant woman in the country for the duration of wartime rationing and well into the 1970s.
The oil contained, per teaspoon, around 5,000 IU of vitamin A, 400 IU of vitamin D, and a significant dose of EPA and DHA. The same omega-3 fats the modern supplement industry now sells back to the population in capsule form for considerable money.
The British child of 1955, given a daily teaspoon of cod liver oil, had:
- Roughly ten times the vitamin D intake of the British child of 2026.
- Roughly five times the vitamin A intake of the British child of 2026.
- A measurable dose of long-chain omega-3 in the form the body actually uses.
- A healthy supply of the fat-soluble vitamins required for the development of teeth, bones, and the immune system.
The British child of 2026 has:
- A fortified breakfast cereal containing synthetic vitamin D2 of debatable bioavailability.
- A vitamin D supplement, if the parents have been told about it.
- An autoimmune profile, in roughly 1 in 4 cases by adulthood, that the medical establishment classifies as idiopathic.
The cod liver oil was withdrawn by Edward Heath's government in 1971, on grounds of cost.
The autoimmune profile is now managed, on average, with multiple pharmaceutical interventions per affected individual, at an NHS cost running into billions annually.
The cost-benefit analysis on the original decision has, to date, not been published.

@HandyGingerGal Not in my experience. Ate raw green beans my whole life from the garden. Never saw a sibling throw up from it either.
Perhaps they have a bacteria/virus on them from the garden that wasn’t fully washed off?

So, last night's dinner was amazing, and I was so excited about my green bean salad. But spent the entire night sick as a dog. Apparently, beans have something called lectins, that can mimick food poisoning?
The recipe did not mention that 😭

@Scavage18 Should the people who vouch for them be held accountable for them in any way?

@CJSomething we should offer a path to citizenship if citizens are willing to vouch for the illegal immigrants (employers, co workers, neighbors etc). there should also be a substantial dollar amount attached that can be paid off over time with all money collected going to the national debt.

I don't think we should deport anyone. I think we should ask them to leave within 2 months
