@FrozenAsada @DoctorPerin It's a perversion of the word "friendship" to think a therapist should be categorized as such.

@DoctorPerin Your therapist is your friend.

What’s something in psychology most people get wrong?

@amuse I live in a country with no junk mail and it's really nice. A letter is something important now. Mail couriers are friendlier also because they provide a genuine service to people.

GOING POSTAL: The left waged war on plastic straws but they are going to bat to defend junk mail? Palmer Luckey is right, no private company would be allowed to send 41 pounds of junk mail to every American each year - 100 billion pieces.

@brianmaierhofer There’s no such thing as an inner child.

It's honestly so simple. Just heal your family trauma, regulate your nervous system, break your addictions, process centuries of cultural trauma, repair your attachment style, reparent your inner child, and develop a spiritual practice that dissolves the boundaries between self and other... Oh, and don't forget to pay rent, stay hydrated, answer emails, and remember to seem fine when someone asks how you're doing.

@redsuzie @unhealthytruth @gatewaypundit @grok In this case, I also wonder if she and Scott got the same vaxx batch.

@unhealthytruth @gatewaypundit @grok Any time there is a death, I always wonder, were they vaxxed?

@KennyCarmody This isn't the first mass-abuse by Pharma and the medical system and they ignored those warnings. They now need to support ending all vaxx mandates and push back on other Pharma scams. Otherwise, "we told you so" is the best thing to say. We have to consider the future.

Something needs to be said about a particular response that the vaccine injured receive far too often. “We warned you. We said it all along.” I want to address this directly, politely and honestly. Most people who took these injections never heard a single word from the people now claiming to have warned them. The vast majority of the injured were not on niche social media channels, were not following independent researchers, were not embedded in communities where these concerns were being raised. They made a decision, often under significant pressure, often under threat of losing their livelihood. Not everyone was a blind compliant sheep. Telling them “we warned you” is not only unhelpful. It is disrespectful. And it reveals something about the person saying it that they might want to examine honestly. It further broadens divide instead of coming together, what our society so desperately needs, which seems out of far reach. The goal was never to be right. The goal, if it was genuine, was to protect people. And if the warning never reached the person it was supposed to protect, then what exactly is being celebrated? We don’t want suicidal empathy either. I am just quite annoyed by these statements on here. The injured deserve compassion. Not pity. Not condescension. Not the smug satisfaction of people who want credit for a warning that arrived too quietly, in too few places, to have changed what happened. Climb down from the high horse. The injured did not deserve what was done to them. And they do not deserve this ignorant statements either.

@fiestahotness @naomirwolf @NYStateofHealth At least in California, they are also mean and aggressive.

@naomirwolf @NYStateofHealth Dealing with NYS is an education into how pathetic and incompetent the state is. The employees are sub par. Miserable and not that bright. It is a disaster.

I just spent an hour and 50 minutes on the phone with @NYStateofHealth to get health insurance - which coverage I have avoided for years. At the end of this inquiry, which delved deeply into minutiae of income, race, unrelated-to-this requests for other people’s private information, and other variables that were not in my last application for health insurance, I was denied insurance coverage based on a missing ‘r’ when the customer service agent for the second time misread ‘county’ as ‘country’. Half an hour later and with me doing breathing exercises to stay relaxed and pleasant, this was corrected and I was allowed the privilege of spending almost double what I had paid 5 years before for the exact same coverage.

@DaneFreshie @amuse @TxSaving @grok At his age, Morens is looking at a life sentence, so hopefully this is true and he will talk.

@amuse @TxSaving @grok is it true about him being offered a deal to go against fauci? I don’t think I see supporting evidence of that in the video?

HAMMER of JUSTICE: The DOJ is offering former NIH official David Morens a get out of jail free card from multiple felony charges for deleting federal records and evading public transparency regarding the origins of the pandemic to testify against Fauci.

@walterkirn @emilyakopp It's legitimate criticism about Bhattacharya's desire to let people like Fauci get away with their crimes, isn't it?

@emilyakopp Thank god you don't run Racket News anymore

Thank god Jay Bhattacharya doesn't run the DOJ

@naomirwolf The brain is a relational organ and chemical trauma caused by psych pills burns the sweetness out of them. People untouched by them still have the micro-expressions and connectivity needed for genuine human relationships, even if they suffer from a dark depression.

Something really weird is happening. (The world has been weird since at least 2020, as I elaborated two essays ago). Do people seem more and more visibly to be wearing their souls on their physical bodies and faces? Like, good people are visibly glowing, no matter their level of physical ability, and yet people in a state of moral compromise seem increasingly visibly dim or darkly lit or almost drying up and physically almost crumbling or decaying?

@Jikkyleaks You'd think Public Health would be all over trying figure how an entire strain of the flu - yamagata b - was eradicated and so replicate whatever happened, but there is zero interest in doing that.

A few people have posted this in reply to me today. The "viral interference explains the absence of influenza in 2020-2021" story is not true. It was propagated to cover up the non-natural nature of both viruses. How do I know? There was no COVID of any significance in multiple countries in 2020 - Australia was the most prominent example (approx. 1 case per 1000 population) And despite flu being tested for *by PCR*, it disappeared. There is only one explanation, and it isn't "viral interference" or "flu rebranded". Sorry to burst your bubbles. arkmedic.info/i/134923039/it… @profnfenton @LawHealthTech @JesslovesMJK @Kevin_McKernan @franklin_reeder

@jsm2334 @eneldiluvio @Kevin_McKernan But others didn't fall for it.

Also note the focus of my post -- as usual it was not about supporting or opposing any policies or recommendations. It was about evaluating what was true, false and uncertain -- in this case I was pointing out there was a great deal of large data sets refuting the claims that the vaccines were increasing risk of miscarriage, which was what I believed was the best available evidence at the time.

Where was Morris when they pushed for vaccinating pregnant women with thin data? He’s certainly vocal about people drawing questions afterwards when it’s too late? But vacant when it mattered most. UPENN Blues.

@AlexBerenson @jordanbpeterson What’s wrong with discouraging SSRIs? It’s scam medicine of the type you’ve documented with other drugs.

Like I said, I don't know what is happening to @jordanbpeterson now. But I do know his daughter is 1: waving off his earlier benzo dependency as unlike a street drug addiction 2: lumping SSRIs in with benzos as "psych meds" The second point in particular is dangerous and misleading. The first is more self-serving, but it links to the second by encouraging viewers to focus on the prescription status of benzos rather than why they are used - a core problem with drug policy. The fact Matthew Perry got his ketamine from doctors didn't stop it from killing him. I didn't ask Peterson's daughter to say anything. As far as I know, no one did. But her video has been viewed millions of times, and if she is going to make strange medical claims that may discourage people from using SSRIs - which are NOTHING like benzos - I am not going to shy away from challenging medical misinformation.

@AhmadRehanKhan They followed the psych drug playbook: negative efficacy, hidden damage to the body, the gimmick of regular "reformulations" so the efficacy goalposts are never met. Psych patients are terrified and so vulnerable to psych drug scams. They terrified the general population.

Look closely and a pattern starts to emerge. The loudest anti-vaccine voices often overlap with anti-psychiatry rhetoric, claims that COVID was a hoax, and the belief that ivermectin is a cure-all. Not surprisingly, many such people also promote unregulated “wellness” products. And importantly, a large proportion of self-identified “healthcare workers” within this group are not actively practicing clinical medicine. This isn’t coincidence, it’s a mindset. As @jonathanstea often refers CRANK MAGNETISM, which is the tendency for individuals who adopt one fringe or unsupported belief to progressively accumulate multiple unrelated, similarly unfounded beliefs, forming a reinforcing web of misinformation rather than evidence-based thinking.

@thevivafrei If that happened, I would sell computers for $19,000 and become a multi-millionaire.

I don’t understand this argument. What good does “universal high income” do when all that would happen is massive inflation for the cost of goods? Awesome, now everyone’s a millionaire. And a computer now costs $20,000 because every retailer knows that everyone’s a millionaire.

@CanningPharm For example, the "mysterious" death of Bob Saget from seizures. Vaxxed and on trazodone.

These drug interactions with clozapine and other drugs and the mRNA vaccines are extensively documented. Yet the product monograph doesn’t mention them. And no government or regulatory guidelines anywhere except for South Australia in 2024. Why not?

@Judyth Do you think the program unintentionally also pulled away gifted people from the arts? There seems to be a dearth of top writers and artists and musicians now.

After Sputnik went up, fears rose that Russia was beating us in space, engineering, and power, so the US govt sought, identified and began giving special training and opportunities to selected high-IQ students as early as 15 yr old. I was one of those selected. Had my own lab at age 15 in Manatee High School even though I was still attending Walker Jr High across the street. Here's a post on Reddit about what went on (and WHAT do we do today for talented young scientists?): (PHOTO: me at age 17 just before getting germ-free mice & more equipment that made it possible for me to induce lung cancer in mice in only 7 days): "Launching of Sputnik created the gifted and talented program" Idk if you all knew this, but I was doing a bit of research on the matter and decided to dig through the history of the program... ChatGPT said: You're tapping into a very real and fascinating part of U.S. history—yes, the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957 absolutely did send the United States into a kind of educational panic. And while "manipulate" might be a strong word, there's no doubt that the U.S. government and education system deliberately shifted priorities, placing heavy emphasis on identifying and developing young intellectual talent—often with national security in mind. 🛰️ Sputnik Shock and the Birth of the “Talent Race” On October 4, 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite. The U.S. was caught off guard and feared it had fallen behind technologically and militarily. This kicked off not just the Space Race, but a broader "Talent Race"—a scramble to find and develop the smartest American minds, especially in science, math, and engineering. 📚 How the U.S. Responded Educationally National Defense Education Act (NDEA) – 1958 Provided major federal funding for education in science, math, and foreign languages. Emphasized testing and scholarships to identify future scientists and intelligence analysts. Acceleration of Gifted Education Schools began using IQ tests and achievement metrics to identify gifted children. Special tracks, honors classes, magnet programs, and elite summer programs (like Johns Hopkins CTY) emerged. Many of these were intended not just to enrich kids' lives—but to serve national strategic interests. Psychological Framing G&T programs often emphasized that these students had a duty to contribute to the country. Parents were told their kids were "special" and had a responsibility to reach their potential—sometimes fostering a sense of nationalistic or Cold War purpose. 🧠 Was It Manipulation? Arguably yes, in some subtle ways: Children were often placed in these programs with the message that they were needed to "defend democracy" with their minds. Programs sometimes focused more on output and achievement than on well-being or emotional development. Some students recall the pressure to perform as being intense, even damaging. But it was also an era where: Scientific literacy was patriotic. Giftedness was seen as a strategic asset. And the government was essentially using education policy as a form of Cold War defense. 👀 The gifted programs weren't inherently sinister—but yes, they were absolutely shaped by a geopolitical race, and the government did view children's intellects as strategic resources. Whether that was manipulation, motivation, or a mix of both is still debated today."

@AmalyaPharma @AmericanMD In no way are MAOIs a "potent antidepressant".

Dr Peter Breggin (MD, psychiatry) got METHYLENE BLUE wrong. Here’s why: 🛟Psychiatrists @AmericanMD systematically conditioned to regard any MAO inhibitor as categorically lethal bec. Pharma forced this in medical school - profits from expensive newer drugs, not from off-patent compounds costing pennies per dose. 🛟 Breggin is neither stupid nor acting in bad faith-he’s doing what psychiatrists are trained to do: treat MAO inhibition as a categorical danger, full stop, regardless of dose or context 🛟MB has more human clinical trial support than most supplements 🛟Controlled trials, functional MRI data, and a major Alzheimer’s drug program all point in the same direction at low doses. 🛟MB crosses the blood-brain barrier readily, bypasses mercury-damaged mitochondrial electron transport complexes, reduces alpha-synuclein aggregation, shows memory improvement in human functional MRI trials—making it mechanistically ideal for Parkinson’s disease (PD). 🛟 Dr Robert Yoho did extensive research, his article #420 “METHYLENE BLUE PART I: Peter Breggin’s MB “Emergency” Post Delayed My Parkinson’s Treatment for a Year. I am pissed off, but, as usual, I have no one to blame but myself.” 🛟 Dr Yoho now takes 5 mg of pharmaceutical-grade USP MB each morning in water with sodium ascorbate (buffered vitamin C) powder, but plans to experiment with larger doses 🛟 this molecule from 1876 costs pennies to manufacture, that means Pharma Mafia WILL cause you to doubt it. 🛟 neuroprotective, mitochondrially active, potent antidepressant, improvement in memory retrieval, increased brain activity in regions associated with short-term memory and attention.

@ArmstrongEcon They are doing this in southeast Asia, but portray it as anti-fraud.

The next phase of this cycle is not necessarily widespread bank failures. It is restricted access. Withdrawal limits, delays, and policy changes that slow the movement of funds can be implemented quickly if stress emerges. These measures are often presented as stabilizing actions, but they signal a shift in control.

@elonmusk Who gave you the shots?

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.
