Stop calling them separate crises. Hormuz, Ukraine, Crimea, Taiwan, Philippines, Cuba, Korea, Venezuela, Lebanon “ theatres”. One war, a dozen theatres, and that’s only the geographic ones. Then let’s widen the frame to what the Chinese call it themselves “ unrestricted warfare” . That means war in any domain using any means . And then those domains become theatres too: cyber, chemicals, materials, tungsten, gallium. It’s doesn’t stop there either there are dozens of layers of interlocking complexity All interlocked in ways neither side has fully mapped. Pundits score it for one side or the other. Look closely and it’s fine-tuned and weighted on both. Because both sides are constantly looking for an “ exploit “ of the other . Go even deeper there is state AI working on rival exploit plans of the other . Gamify as a software game in your head . It’ll help you understand how to think about it . I often use the metaphor of conjoined twins choking each other , it’s supposed to infer the futility of human to human rivalry . That is to say ; the complexity between the nation states has got to the point where nobody can prevail but the conjoined twins continue to do so it’s more of a impulse that can’t be stopped.. Maybe I should’ve used the metaphor of millions of conjoined AI twins because we seem to be having rivalry on every field of conflict. All being simulated a billion times in AI Neither can destroy the other without wearing the consequences. And nobody can see the whole board. Not us. Probably not them. Each side is an iceberg to the other , and partly to itself. The balance doesn’t hold because both sides can see it’s balanced. It holds because neither can see enough to be sure it isn’t. Ambiguity is the restraint. That’s the great stand-off , stable exactly as long as nobody believes they can see the whole stage. Nobody knows for sure what’s really going on . Which is the irony because of our conditioning —— we have so many assuring us they know for sure . No they don’t that’s the irony the impulse to claim you do is the delusion. So let’s quote Field Marshall Blainey , great Aussie military thinkers don’t often get much of a run and Blainey was extremely competent . Also Blainey didn’t give a F , he just did him . They called him abrasive just because he thought most folk were tedious . We need more people who couldn’t care less about attention . “ peace is an unresolved measurement problem; war is what happens when the question gets answered” At the moment we have an “ unresolved measurement problem “ Let’s hope it stays that way .
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM

At 4:45 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief's direction. These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet: "Did you say Lyme Disease is an ENGINEERED BIOWEAPON?" RFK Jr: "I DID say that." In the 1960s, U.S. Army released 282,800 radioactive ticks into Virginia & Montana to see how far & how fast they’d spread for biowarfare purposes, including 152,000 Carbon-14 tagged Lone Star ticks. The Bill Gates Foundation poured $7.6 MILLION into creating self-spreading genetically modified cattle ticks engineered to spread rapidly through wild populations. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has funded Alpha-Gal Syndrome vaccine research at Vanderbilt since 2012 — exactly when tick-borne red meat allergies started exploding across America. • Tick populations surging nationwide, causing permanent meat allergies for hundreds of thousands • Gates begins aggressively promoting lab-grown synthetic meat in 2013 • By 2017, $20 MILLION invested into companies like Memphis Meats (now Upside Foods) Now, nearly half a million Americans suffer from Alpha Gal Syndrome. They create the problem. They own the “solution.” This isn’t random. This is a business model.

Some comments are gold in that they capture your point and the public’s general belief for you unintentionally . The comment : “It still looks better than most if you look at the DATA” A very authoritative rebuttal that came with its own chart ! so let’s look at the “data” UBS “wealth per adult” marks household assets to market and in Australia the household balance sheet is roughly 70%+ dwellings and superannuation. The number is the bubble, photographed at peak valuation. So it’s a perfect picture of the Ponzi . Japanese households were the richest on earth in 1989. Irish household wealth peaked in 2007, months before the collapse. A high median-wealth ranking driven by residential property is a leading indicator of the crisis, not evidence against it. Now Japan’s median wealth is 24th and their median wealth is 10th . The Irish went from No1 in 2007 to 17th in 2026 . Their median wealth is now 19th . Median Australian wealth is a house you must live in plus super you can’t touch until 65. The liquidity test: strip owner-occupied housing and preserved super and Australia falls down the table. Meanwhile the flow-side numbers , the ones that measure the actual economy , show per-capita GDP recession, collapsed household savings ratio, and household debt-to-income near the highest in the OECD (roughly 185%). Rich on the asset debt inflated balance sheet, bloody broke in the reality . Which is financial stress: the wealth and the stress are the same number viewed from opposite sides of the ledger. Australia ranks #3 on median precisely because homeownership is broad-based , the bubble IS the middle-class balance sheet. The median voter’s entire net worth is a leveraged bet on house prices. Australians are financially illiterate , stressed and about to cop an economic hiding . No government or central bank can allow deflation, so every policy lever (immigration, tax settings, RBA) is conscripted to defend the BS . High median wealth isn’t a refutation of the Ponzi; it’s the mechanism that makes the Ponzi politically irreversible. It’s a causal-loop that 90% can’t see: broad ownership signs up an electoral veto on correction which instigates RBA immigration and government policy props which causes higher prices which more deeply ingrains the Ponzi paper wealth which results in even a stronger veto against falling house prices . So we raise immigration and build even harder ? . But the median calculation across all adults conceals that the wealth sits with over-55s who bought pre-bubble, while under-35s hold the debt side of the same transaction. The chart’s $211K is an average of two different countries occupying the same landmass. The poor young folk and the rich older folk . Not to mention the all the Indians that have probably thrown their life savings into the Ponzi scheme . Have we got a deal for you ! If we don’t have very high immigration the Ponzi collapses , the young folk get wiped out and the inheritance from mum and dad collapses , if we do keep up the immigration we can’t provide the infrastructure because the aging demographics will cut tax receipts so the government can’t keep building it .

Chamath reveals his company's AI token costs are doubling every 45 days but productivity is only up 5% "I sat down with my CTO today, I said how are we doing on token spend. And he said the most incredible thing, he said right now, our token costs are doubling every 45 days. I said well what is the downstream productivity? And he said maybe 5% max." "So my costs are doubling every 45 days, my upside is essentially flat. He said honestly, what we're finding out is that you need to use a lot more tokens to get to this next iteration of improvement because we've effectively already asymptoted." "We're going to take a step back and try to figure out what to do. I don't know how many other companies will actually go through this reckoning now, but the point is everybody in the next three or four years will for sure go through it." "I suspect that if you can get out now, you should get out now before all of that starts to seep into the water table. Because I think that's probably what allows you to get out at a huge price and raise a huge amount of money."

Babies are born with low vitamin k for a reason. At birth, cord blood is full of stem cells that go to any damaged sites in the baby where any trauma may have happened during birth. If babies had high levels of Vitamin K at birth, the cord blood wouldn't reach these necessary areas. This is one of the reasons why delayed cord clamping is so important! Additionally, colostrum contains higher concentrations of Vitamin K than mature breast milk. This isn't a mistake or coincidence; it's part of God's design. It also contains 100 mcg of aluminum and has black box warning.

Don't try to be original. Be simple. Be good technically, and if there is something in you, it will come out. - Henri Matisse Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colourist of the 20th century. The French artist used colour as the foundation for his expressive, decorative and large-scale paintings. Less well known is how Matisse developed the new art form using paper and scissors. With the help of his assistants, he began creating cut-paper collages, also known as decoupage. Matisse would cut sheets of paper, pre-painted with gouache by his assistants, into shapes of varying colours and sizes and then arrange them to form vibrant compositions. Matisse moved to Vence in 1943, a commune in between Nice and Antibes, and it was there he produced his first major cut-out project for his artist's book titled, Jazz. Matisse saw these works separately from his principal art form, conceiving these works as designs for stencil prints rather than artworks in their own right. However, Matisse soon saw the possibilities this technique offered him as an artist saying: "An artist must never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of a style, prisoner of a reputation, prisoner of success…" Matisse began producing works outside of his initial cut-out project, which soon led to mural-sized works. His studio assistant Lydia Delectorskaya loosely pinned the silhouettes of birds, fish and marine life directly on the walls of his studio, as Matisse changed the composition as he went. Throughout Matisse's career, whether it was during his oil-painted works, his stripped-back sculptural pieces or in his final years of cut-outs, the consistent theme within the artist's work was an appreciation of form and composition. Matisse demonstrated the benefits of being open to influence, absorbing techniques from his contemporaries and the colours seen on his travels.

My father used to call insurance companies "the legalized gangsters of the century." I remember thinking that he was exaggerating, but after more than four decades of practicing medicine, I have come to realize he was remarkably accurate. Every single day I watch patients who have worked hard all their lives, paid their insurance premiums faithfully, and trusted that the system would be there when they became sick, only to discover that their greatest obstacle is not cancer, heart disease, pneumonia, or any other illness, but the insurance company standing between them and the care they desperately need. Somewhere along the way, medicine stopped being about patients and became about spreadsheets, shareholders, and quarterly earnings. Anonymous individuals who have never met the patient, never examined them, never looked into their eyes, and never held the hand of a frightened family are empowered to decide what treatments can be given, what medications can be prescribed, what tests can be performed, and even how long someone deserves to stay in the hospital. It is a system where profits too often come before people, where delays become denials, where bureaucracy replaces compassion, and where physicians spend countless hours fighting for treatments that should never have required permission in the first place. This is not healthcare. This is corporate medicine at its worst. The physician-patient relationship has been hijacked by financial interests, and the people who suffer the consequences are the very individuals the system was supposed to protect. We can and must do better. The purpose of healthcare is not to maximize profits. The purpose of healthcare is to heal, to comfort, to relieve suffering, and to place the patient at the center of every decision. Until we return to that simple principle, my father's words will continue to ring painfully true. @Honest_Medicine

Every carton of milk you have ever pulled from a refrigerator was designed by a woman locked inside a freezing boxcar in 1905. Her name was Mary Engle Pennington. She was thirty-two years old. She was a Quaker-raised bacteriological chemist from Philadelphia with a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. She was the first woman ever hired as a scientist by the Bureau of Chemistry — the federal agency that would eventually become the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Her job, on paper, was to sit at a back desk and file paperwork. Instead, she strapped a thermometer to her belt, climbed into a moving freight train in the Chicago rail yards, and let them lock the door behind her. Then she did it again. And again. Five hundred times over two years. In 1905, most Americans died young because of food. Milk shipped from Wisconsin dairies to Manhattan tenement apartments arrived in wooden barrels packed with dirty lake ice harvested from frozen ponds. By the time it reached the city, half of it was curdled. Dairies covered the sour smell with formaldehyde. Butchers rubbed borax on decomposing beef to hide the rot. Children in New York and Philadelphia were dying by the thousands every summer from milk-borne bacterial infections. The federal government had almost no power to stop it. Dr. Harvey Wiley, the head of the Bureau of Chemistry, was fighting to change that. He needed a scientist willing to prove — in hard, incontrovertible temperature-log data — exactly how and why the American food supply was rotting in transit. He needed someone who would ride in the refrigerator cars. He knew exactly who he wanted. Pennington was the daughter of a Quaker family that had moved from Nashville to West Philadelphia when she was three. She had discovered chemistry at twelve by borrowing a college-level textbook from the public library. She had completed the coursework for a bachelor of science in chemistry at Penn's Towne Scientific School — and the university's trustees had refused to grant a woman a degree. They handed her a "certificate of proficiency" instead. She stayed anyway. She kept working. She wrote a doctoral thesis. She forced the same trustees to grant her a Ph.D. at twenty-two. Wiley had known the Pennington family for twenty years. He knew what she could do. In 1905 he had her take the federal civil-service exam under the signature M. E. Pennington. The score guaranteed a hire. When she walked into the Bureau of Chemistry office the following Monday, the personnel officer realized what had happened. Federal law required them to hire her anyway. They tried to bury her at a back desk. She spent one week doing filing. Then she walked into Wiley's office and asked for the rail schedules. The Bureau had no cold-weather field gear cut for a woman. She went to a Washington department store and bought her own — heavy wool skirts, oversized men's sweaters, thick wool socks, leather-lined boots. She packed a glass thermometer, a set of sterile glass sampling vials, a leather-bound ledger, and a fountain pen. She walked into the Chicago slaughterhouse rail yards at dawn. She climbed into the ice bunkers of moving freight cars packed with raw poultry and beef. The doors were locked from the outside. She sat in the freezing dark for hours. She measured the temperature wall by wall, floor to ceiling, corner to corner. She sampled the meat every three hours. She wrote everything down in the ledger. She did five hundred of these expeditions over the next two years. She slept in cabooses on rural sidings. She caught pneumonia twice. She kept going. The rail companies had believed for fifty years that cold air, once loaded into a boxcar with ice, would fill the space evenly. Pennington's measurements proved them wrong. Cold air fell to the floor. It stayed there. Warm air generated by rotting cargo rose to the ceiling and stagnated. The meat stacked near the roof was slowly cooking in its own bacterial gases while the meat near the floor was flash-frozen solid. The corners of the cars had dead zones the cold air never reached at all. She discovered that a constant thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit — exactly at the freezing point of water — completely halted the growth of the specific bacterial strains that caused most food-borne deaths. The average American refrigerator car was operating at forty-five degrees. She drafted a complete redesign specification. Exact ice-bunker dimensions. Elevated floor racks so cold air could circulate underneath the cargo. Precise insulation thickness in the walls. Ventilation channels to move air through the dead zones in the corners. The rail industry fought her. Their lawyers, their lobbyists, their Congressional influence, and the political backing of the meatpacking monopolies. They argued a female chemist could not tell railroad engineers how to build trains. She did not argue back. She published the temperature data. The rail companies could not dispute the math. They eventually adopted her specifications wholesale. Spoilage rates collapsed. Big-city childhood mortality from milk-borne infection dropped inside a decade. Her defining test came in April 1917. The United States entered the First World War. The War Department needed to move thousands of tons of perishable American beef across the Atlantic to the Western Front. The commercial rail industry contributed forty thousand refrigerator cars to the war effort. Pennington evaluated every single one. Only three thousand of the forty thousand — seven and a half percent — met her institutional standard. She spent the next eighteen months personally overseeing the emergency retrofit of the other thirty-seven thousand cars. She standardized freezing at the slaughterhouses before the meat ever touched a train. She specified the exact temperature the ocean cargo holds had to maintain from Chicago to Brest. The spoilage stopped. The troops were fed. She served on Herbert Hoover's War Food Administration through the end of the war. In 1919 she left the federal government. In 1922 she founded her own refrigeration-engineering consulting firm, which she ran until she died. In 1923 she founded the Household Refrigeration Bureau to educate American consumers about the emerging home-refrigerator revolution. In 1940 the American Chemical Society awarded her the Francis P. Garvan Gold Medal. She was still consulting on a commercial refrigeration project the week she died — on December 27, 1952, in New York City, at eighty years old. In 2018, sixty-six years after her death, she was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. You walk into a grocery store in July. You pull a carton of milk from the back of the case. You do not smell it for rot. You open it. You pour it. You are drinking from the specification of a woman who let them lock her in the freezing dark for two years to prove she was right.

A New York Times reporter did the unthinkable and exposed the “worst test in medicine” — the one that five decades of evidence says doesn’t work. The research is damning: continuous fetal monitoring raises C-sections by 66% and instrumental deliveries by 16%, with no drop in infant deaths or disability. It flags a problem that usually isn’t one, and doctors rush to cut the baby out. It’s not just a false flag problem; it’s a money incentive. Sarah Kliff says the quiet part out loud: “Nobody gets sued for doing the C-section. You only get sued for not doing the C-section.” Doctors are so terrified of legal consequences that they’ll push unnecessary surgery on their patients, not for the baby’s health, but to protect their pocketbooks. That’s how the cascade starts. In a hospital delivery, one intervention triggers the next. It’s like an avalanche that can’t be stopped. Next thing you know, you’re recovering for weeks from a major surgery you never needed. If someone you love is about to have their first baby, share this before they ever set foot in a labor and delivery unit. @MidwesternDoc investigated what hospitals don’t tell you about birth outcomes, and it only gets worse from here. 🧵

It may be time to change how we talk about GLP-1 medications. One of the standard principles we hear is that they help with weight loss by slowing digestion. Well, results from a new study challenge this (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42392577/). Among people on the drug, how slowed their stomach emptied had basically no link to how much they actually ate. When comparing people on the drug vs. placebo, delayed emptying explained only 4–6% of the difference in food intake, and the link disappeared entirely when they limited the comparison to the people on the drug alone. So the popular "it just parks food in your stomach so you feel full" explanation doesn't explain the reduced appetite. The appetite effect looks like it's coming from somewhere else, most likely the brain controlling hunger/cravings and possibly changes in how the body burns fuel (with glucagon agonists).

In Japan, I sat down with a doctor who specializes in gene therapy and practices pediatric oncology. When I asked him why he got involved in questioning the COVID response, he said: "Because my specialty is gene therapy. This is gene therapy. And gene therapy is very difficult." He knew the technology. He works with it on children fighting cancer. He understands what it takes to get it right, and what happens when you don't. When I asked him whether it seemed crazy to roll this out for everybody, he said yeah. Especially AstraZeneca, which he described as perfectly identical to the gene therapy protocols he uses in his own practice.

If you thought COVID was built on a web of lies, wait till you hear what they did with Alzheimer’s disease. While Big Pharma poured billions into failed drugs and fake plaque theories, one neurologist quietly proved the decline could be reversed. And he did it without a single pharmaceutical. Dr. Dale Bredesen discovered Alzheimer’s has five root causes, not one. And when you treat those root causes, patients recover. 🧵

🚨🚨🚨We may be less than two years away from losing access to some of the most biologically useful forms of indoor lighting in the United States. On July 25, 2028, the Department of Energy’s 125 lumens-per-watt standard for General Service Lamps is scheduled to take full effect. From that date forward, covered light bulbs manufactured in or imported into the United States will have to meet that efficiency threshold. The problem is that lumens measure visible brightness—not biological usefulness. A bulb designed to provide a broad, sunlight-like spectrum, support circadian physiology, reduce blue light exposure in the evening, or emit near-infrared wavelengths may use energy in ways that are not fully reflected in its lumen rating. Near-infrared light, for example, is invisible to the human eye and therefore contributes no lumens, even though it may have important biological effects. In practical terms, the 125-lumen-per-watt rule could eliminate many circadian, broad-spectrum, and infrared-emitting bulbs from the American market. On April 8, 2025, a formal Petition for Rulemaking was submitted to the DOE requesting the creation of a new “General Wellness Lamp” product class. These lamps would be exempt from the 125-lumen-per-watt requirement while still meeting the 45-lumen-per-watt congressional backstop—representing approximately 75% lower energy use than traditional incandescent lighting. There have been encouraging political signals supporting consumer choice in lighting. However, executive orders and departmental policy statements do not, by themselves, change the Code of Federal Regulations. The 125-lumen-per-watt rule remains legally binding, with a compliance date of July 25, 2028. There is currently no waiver protecting general-wellness lighting. Proposed legislation that would repeal the rule has not passed. A durable solution requires the DOE to complete a formal rulemaking that creates a legally recognized General Wellness Lamp category. This is becoming urgent. A typical federal rulemaking may take 18 to 24 months. For a final rule to be completed with a reasonable margin before July 2028, the DOE would need to begin the formal process very soon. This should not be framed as a choice between energy efficiency and health. We should be able to preserve efficient lighting while also recognizing that light is more than visual illumination. Its spectrum, timing, intensity, and wavelength composition can affect circadian rhythms, sleep, alertness, metabolism, and potentially mitochondrial biology. Researchers, clinicians, manufacturers, and members of the public who care about healthy lighting should begin paying attention to this issue now. We need coordinated engagement with the DOE, Congress, the scientific and medical communities, and the public before the regulatory window closes. We should not allow a standard based solely on visible lumens to unintentionally remove lighting designed around human biology. @SecretaryWright @realDonaldTrump @HHSGov @RobertKennedyJr youtu.be/0m1Qekrfs7w?si…
