For, who knew the mind of the Lord? or, who became His adviser? Out of Him and through Him and for Him is the all: to Him be the glory for the eons! Amen!

The truth is out there. You just have to look for it.
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

In 1953 an American physiologist called Ancel Keys stood up at a World Health Organization conference in Geneva and presented a graph. The graph plotted fat consumption against heart disease mortality in six countries. The United States at the top. Japan at the bottom. A smooth upward curve in between. The room was convinced. The graph would go on to define global nutrition policy for the next seventy years. There was one small problem with the graph. Keys had data from twenty-two countries. He chose six. The other sixteen, which included France and Switzerland eating vast quantities of butter and cheese with low heart disease, and countries like Chile eating almost no animal fat and having high heart disease, did not produce the line he wanted. So they were not on the graph. When this was pointed out, in print, at the time, Keys did not engage with the science. He launched a career. He became chair of the American Heart Association's nutrition committee. He got himself on the cover of Time magazine. He organised the Seven Countries Study, a sequel to the cherry-picked six, which selected populations and time points that would confirm his hypothesis and excluded those that would not. Crete was measured during Lent. The comparisons were, by design, not fair. Then he did the thing that turned him from a scientist into a politician. He went after the opposition. Dr John Yudkin, a British physiologist, published a book in 1972 called Pure, White and Deadly, arguing that sugar was a better fit for the heart disease data than fat. His data covered more populations, more years, and more accurately matched the rise in cardiovascular mortality across the twentieth century. Keys called him, in print, a charlatan. He used his position at the AHA to block Yudkin's research from conferences. He pressured editors. He lobbied funders. Yudkin's grants dried up. His reputation was systematically dismantled by a man who was, at this point, not doing science but running a protection racket for a hypothesis. Yudkin died in 1995 in obscurity. His work has since been quietly vindicated. Nobody has apologised. Meanwhile the American Heart Association, funded since 1948 by a $1.7 million donation from Procter and Gamble (makers of Crisco, a product that urgently needed a reason for Americans to stop cooking with lard), adopted Keys's recommendations and issued them as medical advice. The American public complied. Butter consumption collapsed. Margarine tripled. Seed oils, negligible in 1950, became the dominant cooking fat. The food industry reformulated thousands of products to remove fat and replace it with sugar, because the fat was the enemy and the sugar was not. American obesity rates, stable for fifty years, began to climb in 1977, the year the McGovern committee translated Keys's hypothesis into federal guidelines. They have not stopped climbing since. Type 2 diabetes followed. Metabolic syndrome followed. Fatty liver disease, which barely existed in 1950, became endemic. The entire constellation of chronic metabolic disease now occupying every doctor surgery in the developed world tracks, almost perfectly, onto the adoption curve of the guidance Keys spent his career promoting. He retired to Italy, drank olive oil, ate cheese, lived to 100, and described himself in interviews as a pioneer. He was a pioneer. He pioneered the practice of producing a predetermined conclusion from selective data, destroying the reputations of anyone who noticed, and using institutional capture to convert the conclusion into policy. Ancel Keys was not wrong the way scientists are sometimes wrong. Ancel Keys was wrong the way politicians are wrong. Deliberately. Profitably. Without consequence. You are still eating the consequences now.

In Oklahoma, day care regulations are 180 pages! Why would you open a business if you have to understand, and obey that? I wouldn’t.

@elonmusk @KatiePavlich Maybe the investigators can just pretend that they aren't investigating? That way they'll be committing fraud but can't be investigated 🤣

@biannagolodryga @miadmaleki The organization in which he's a senior fellow sounds so much like one of those phony 'steal as much from USAID as you can' NGOs that I'm hesitant to lend any credibility.

FACT CHECK: Mere days before far-left Rep. Ayanna Pressley was sworn into Congress, her husband quit a $92,000 a year job. Why? So he could start a consulting firm. And guess what happened? Their net worth with assets skyrocketed to $8 million. The keyword here is "consulting firm". Hunt down every congressional leader who owns, has worked for or whose spouse owns one of these and you'll likely find massive money laundering. REPOST for exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Pretty much settles the issue of whether the President is a believer or not by him seeing that picture and thinking it was him as a Red Cross worker.

🚨 ROME HAS FALLEN For the first time ever, the Vatican has built a Muslim prayer room inside its Apostolic Library. While Christians are banned from Mecca, while no church stands in Saudi Arabia, and while Europe’s cathedrals are being turned into mosques, Pope Leo XIV rolls out prayer rugs in the heart of Rome. He’s doing it side-by-side with Amy Pope, the UN’s migration chief and former Obama insider, who runs a billion-dollar machine moving “refugees” across the West. Together they preach “compassion” — but it’s really globalism disguised as faith. The UN engineers the migration. The Vatican blesses it. And Western civilization pays for it.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅
