Ex-Secret Service agent reveals new JFK assassination detail – BBC News
Six decades later:
N
ew details are still coming to light in one of the most scrutinized
events in American history: the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
Paul Landis, an 88-year-old former Secret Service agent who witnessed the president’s death at close range, says in an upcoming memoir that he took a bullet from the car after Mr Kennedy was shot, and then left it on the former president’s stretcher at the hospital.
It might seem like a minute detail in a case that has been pored over since the 1960s, and for which the government laid out an exhaustive report. But to individuals who have spent decades looking at every shred of evidence, Mr Landis’s account is a major and unexpected development.

Conspiracies over how many gunmen were involved, who was ultimately responsible,
and how many bullets actually struck the president have abounded in the decades since

The idea that the true facts of the case differ from the official version is modern America’s original conspiracy theory, and according to some historians, the killing instigated the nation’s decaying trust in its government. Depending on how one looks at it, Mr Landis’s story either changes nothing or everything.
His book
The Final Witness by Paul Landis
is guaranteed to add more kindling to the never-ending national obsession with the assassination. “This is really the most significant news in the assassination since 1963,” said James Robenalt, a historian and Kennedy expert who worked with Mr. Landis to prepare him for his public revelations.

Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, had nothing of consequence to offer her inquisitors — whether it be about the Capitol riot, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, or her husband’s work on the high bench — despite attempts by the panel and its corporate media allies to malign and bully her and her family.

This is one reason they won’t release the Jan 6 video. The FBI agents involved in creating the pseudo event all need to be executed for treason. The bomber .the gallows builders and antifa changed into Trump supporters all in the same three letter agency. If the NYT has the conversation, how do we not know who it was that built it?
Sounds like a leaked story and FBI undercover agent or asset.
During the days of the wild west, when small towns had one brave man with a badge and
a gun to protect the citizens; the U.S. Marshall would have to hunt down hardened felons
and bring them to the town jail. There they would wait for a federal judge to come to town
and hold trials.
Those who were found guilty and sentenced to death would then have to wait for the executioner to arrive and build gallows. Felons were hung in public and it was usually
a crowd of people who gathered to watch the entertainment for the week.
The building of gallows usually meant it would be safe to go about your business again,
the criminals would be gone. What happened to those good old days of shoot first and
ask questions later?
FBI ALREADY KNOW FBI BUILT THE GALLOWS TO FRAME MAGA!
The FBI built the January 6, 2021, gallows. The FBI pretends to be looking for the “perpetrators’ ‘. The FBI, meanwhile, arrests people at their homes with full SWAT
team pre-dawn raids based on left wing newspaper articles.
The gallows have FBI fingerprints all over it.
Overly dramatic display trying to support their narrative.
I hope all of their receipts come to light.
Is this real. First time we saw this. So, who did it? 6 Jan planners by Pelosi orders??
Who built it? Who planted the fraud pipebomb? Answers unknown. Factoid.
If any one in streets other than FBI agents protected, built such a structure before 6 Jan, capital police would have torn down, arrested, etc. But they didn’t. Wonder why?
If this is true events or all bs, then why ignored in committee hearings??
With all of the cameras on the federal building properties.
You can’t do anything without someone knowing and watching.
Just like the cocaine bags left at the White House by Hunter.
It’s pretty obvious to all that are remotely informed, who did this. Let’s see…They can’t discover who planted the pipe bombs on Jan 6 They can’t figure out why Ray Epps, one of the most egregious Jan 6 participants is still free They can’t find out who built the gallows. They can’t discover why the Capitol doors were unlocked.
They can’t understand why Pelosi refused national guard protection.
They can’t untangle all the election abnormalities… Isn’t all of this
becoming obvious to everyone that has an IQ above an eggplant?
The J6 Committee was/is a world government court, i.e., a WEF/UN court.
The entire affair of J6 has been politicized, prosecuted and heralded by the media in a completely partisan way. Many Americans have already drawn their own conclusions
and it doesn’t show any institutions in a very good light. LOL
@SenateGOP
@HouseGOP
@MariaBartiromo
J6 is a GULAG! The panel has it twisted! We must have a Commission like the Nuremberg trials to put YOU on the stand for your TREASON, and putting people in jail without DUE PROCESS and HIDING EVIDENCE that reveals NO INSURRECTION.
Hey commie leftists…. Who cares? We don’t care about you anymore.
You are bullshitters, candy asses and have the minds of spoiled children.
You protest anything because bathhouse Barry tells you to. You are losers
who have to cheat, lie and steal, you know, resist.
That is your fate. It’s all you have.

Remember what is lacking is our flesh, is not a lack in Christ, what separates us from the truth of the glorious life in Christ is a very thin tent that weakens each day.
It is our seeing through that tent of flesh in faith that we stay the course.
Let us be thankful we are not required to put faith in our tent, or the holes and tears
found in it, we are to put on Christ the perfect bond of union letting God be greater than our hearts that condemn us, for those in Christ have new life hidden in a very safe place that nothing on this earth can shake or separate us from, have faith, have faith in God.”

Wa: The Art of Balance

The secret to a sustainable diet is not willpower but finding a balance.
Kaki Okumura© Provided by INSIDER
I grew up overweight and stressed out by my body — these 4 Japanese principles
helped me find my health again Story by
rkoh@insider.com
(Reena Koh)
Kaki Okumura is a Japanese wellness writer and illustrator who lived
in the US until she was 12. Okumura struggled with being overweight
and tried numerous dieting tactics, but none of them worked. Her book
“Wa: The Art of Balance” focuses on four Japanese practices.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Kaki Okumura, the author of
“Wa: The Art of Balance,” a
book
has been edited for length and clarity.
I remember looking down at a family photo and feeling my heart sink. I couldn’t help it.
I was clearly the only one who was overweight. I’m Japanese, but because I was raised in the US until I was 12, I had found myself facing a health challenge that a lot of other Americans faced: being overweight.
If my family had shared this trouble with me, I may not have felt so alone in my journey.
But my family just didn’t struggle in the way I did, perhaps because most of them lived in Japan — a country that’s a leader in
longevity
and has very
low rates of obesity
.
My parents were kind and never shamed me for my body, but I still couldn’t help but feel an intense amount of pressure to change the way I looked. So I embarked on a number of dieting tactics. I tried everything from calorie restriction and intermittent fasting to low-carb meals.
Some worked, with varying levels of success, but none were sustainable — at least, not until I moved to Japan. I always had an image in my mind that people in Japan ate very healthfully — that they didn’t eat fried foods, meat, or ice cream — and most of their meals were composed of rice, fish, and steamed vegetables.

While living there, I started to realize that Japan was just like any other developed country: It had snacks and fast food, and its people certainly indulged in sweets.
It was clear that Japanese people enjoyed these foods regularly.
So what’s the secret? It’s in balance.
Since I’ve started following these four principles,
I haven’t struggled or worried about the way I eat.
1. Moderation
One of the first things that people who visit Japan will say about the food is how small the portions are. When you go out to eat in Japan, you’ll probably be able to finish your food in one sitting. In the US, you’re more likely to ask for a takeout box.
Portions served in Japanese restaurants are often just right. © Kaki Okumura
These moderate portions are one of the key reasons people in Japan
often eat whatever they want — many without rigorous exercise routines.
When you eat in moderation, nothing has to be off limits, and you can relax about eating cake at birthdays or steak to celebrate a job promotion. Consequently, we feel less stressed about food.
I came to realize that sustainable healthy eating was not about willpower or self-discipline but about being able to incorporate the foods we love, in moderation.
2. Variety
When you go to a Japanese restaurant in Japan, you often come across a meal composed of rice, miso soup, a protein dish, and a few vegetable side dishes. The dishes vary from grilled fish and steamed spinach to deep-fried chicken and a salad.

The key is not so much the dish itself but that there is such a wide variety of dishes in one meal. This way, people can easily get several nutrients without having too much of any one thing.
We need carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and protein, but instead of overthinking how to incorporate them together, the Japanese style embeds balance into each meal by having various small dishes.
The variety also keeps meals interesting, so you don’t feel restricted or deprived of anything, while eating everything your body requires.
3. Simplicity
I’ve found that vegetables are often treated as a necessary evil in the US.
There is no shortage of recipes and articles that are worded like,
“How to make vegetables taste good,” or, “Vegetable dishes you’ll actually want to eat.”
With the assumption that vegetables don’t taste good, we end up with recipes
that will do anything to mask the flavor — often with heavy amounts of salt, oil, or sugar.
Contrary to that, in Japan, the narrative around vegetables is the opposite:
They are delicious.
Popular dishes often have a significant variety and number of vegetables.
Kaki Okumura© Kaki Okumura
It’s common for vegetable dishes to be seasoned lightly, often steamed or even raw,
like the shredded cabbage that often comes with tonkatsu, or Japanese pork cutlet.
Popular Japanese movies, for example Studio Ghibli’s “My Neighbor Totoro,”
have entire scenes of children eating plain, fresh vegetables with delight.
Vegetables are not ingredients that Japanese children dread. My Neighbor

Once I started recognizing the deliciousness of ingredients,
I began focusing on how to enhance and complement these flavors, rather than mask them. Sometimes, the most important ingredient is the one you leave out.
4. Self-compassion
This was the most difficult principle for me to adopt, but it was the most important.
When I would overeat, I would end up feeling bad about myself.
Occasionally, I might feel guilty, ashamed, or weak-willed.
An idea that helped me during moments like this was the Japanese phrase “kuchisabishii.” It’s a commonly used phrase that directly translates to “lonely mouth,” but it refers to boredom snacking, or when we eat without intention.
But kuchisabishii is less critical in nature than phrases like binge eating, or compulsive overeating, because it recognizes that like loneliness, eating out of boredom is a natural emotion.
A simple home-cooked meal that comforts the stomach as well as the heart.
Instead of sitting in guilt and shame, by shaping experiences in which we may
have eaten a bit too much as forgivable, we can recognize and move on with kindness.
Living in Japan has shown me healthy eating is less about self-discipline or willpower,
which are not helpful in building lifelong habits, but more about finding a balance.
Food is not just fuel: It can be central to our culture, traditions, identity, and values.
My book, “Wa: The Art of Balance.” “Wa” — the Japanese word used to describe
Japanese things — also means harmony and also represents the value of seeking
balance to live a well-rounded life.
Living in Japan, the author learned that indulgent food doesn’t always need to be associated with unhealthy food. © Kaki Okumura
The idea of ‘indulgent food’ in Japan is different from what
you might expect in the US. It helped me finally become healthy.
Kaki Okumura
is a Japanese wellness writer who grew up in the US and Japan.
In the US, she associated indulgent food with things like chocolate cake and juicy burgers.
Living in Japan, she learned that indulgent food doesn’t always need to be associated with unhealthy food.
These days, I write and educate on Japanese health practices, but growing up in the US,
I struggled with my weight. I think a big part of what contributed to my
complicated relationship with food
was how I understood indulgent food. I never even questioned it, believing that indulgence was viewed similarly worldwide — that is, until
I moved to Japan
.
What do you imagine when you think of indulgent food? For many people, we imagine thick slices of chocolate cake, juicy burgers, big sizzling steaks, or piles of fries. Ads for fast-food chains or ice cream brands often describe their products as indulgent, and a quick Google search for indulgent food will confirm that indulgence is often measured
in terms of calories and size.
But this began to change for me one day when my Japanese grandmother came home, excitedly telling my siblings and me that she had brought back something so delicious and that we were in for a treat. She didn’t let us see it until after dinner. In my anticipation,
I let myself imagine a strawberry shortcake, cream puffs, or perhaps it would be a box of luxury chocolates. Only once she opened the fridge and brought it out did I realize what she brought home was a melon. One fresh melon.
My disappointment didn’t last long, however, as my grandmother sliced open the fruit, and I caught a whiff of the melon’s sweet, almost perfumy smell. I watched in amazement as she handed us each a perfectly juicy and ripe piece. It melted in my mouth as soon as
I took a bite.
In Japan, fresh produce is often seen as an indulgence, Artisan Ally-grown grapes.
Grape: Ask Health Professionals (msn.com)
Living in Japan, I soon realized that indulgence was not simply viewed
through calories or how “unhealthy” something might be for us.
Instead, indulgence is often viewed through
seasonality, freshness, locality,
or even the technique to how it was grown or produced. It was common to receive boxes of fruit, vegetables, and seafood as luxury food gifts. We would also celebrate holidays with a special cut of fresh sashimi from the market, or a particularly sweet variety of artisan ally-grown grapes for dessert.
I struggled with my weight when I lived in the US.
But when I moved to Japan, I picked up 5 simple habits that have turned my health around.
Kaki Okumura
is a Japanese wellness writer who grew up in the US and Japan.
She picked up daily habits while living in Japan that help her maintain a healthy weight.
Habits include walking everywhere, using cooking shortcuts, and focusing on quality.
Growing up in the US, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea that in order to live healthfully, you must go to the gym, meal prep,
cut out sugar
, and otherwise be disciplined. America is the land of “go big or go home,” where taking half-measures is often considered pointless. But is such strictness really necessary?
At 4.3%, Japan has one of the lowest rates of obesity among high-income developed nations, according to the
World Population Review
. Comparatively, the US sits at 36.2% and has the 12th-highest obesity rate in the world. It’s not because Japanese people are somehow more disciplined than others. Rather, I believe it’s the simple,
moderate Japanese daily habits
that make it much more sustainable for the modern lifestyle.
Here are five habits for a healthy weight I picked up from life in Japan.
©Kaki Okumura
1. Walk everywhere
Japanese adults walk a lot. The
2019 National Health and Nutrition Survey
, conducted by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, found men averaged close to 7,000 steps, with women at just below 6,000 per day. Participants in the survey included 300,000 households in Japan, including 720,000 family members aged 1 and over.
Mayo Clinic says
the average American walks less than
4,000 steps a day
.
As recently as the 1980s,
Nagano had one of the highest stroke rates in the country
.
Over the years, the Japanese prefecture has incorporated over 100 walking routes in its community and has been able to reverse this trend.
The prefecture boasts one of the
highest longevity rates in Japan.
Japan tends to top global life-expectancy rankings
, with a 2020 average of 85 years from birth. This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t engage in high-intensity exercises as well, but we shouldn’t discount the
value of walking
. A walk around the block or a
stroll in the park can do wonders for our health
.
2. Eat in moderation
The modern
Japanese diet
isn’t just grilled fish, miso soup, and rice anymore.
There are people in Japan who sometimes choose to enjoy the same foods as the US,
such as hamburgers, ice cream, and French fries. But the key differences lie in frequency,
as well as portion size.
If you visit a
McDonald’s in Japan
, you’ll find their
medium-size drink is still smaller than an American small
. A
large pizza from the Japanese Domino’s
has a diameter of 13 inches, whereas in the US it’s 14. The 16-inch extra-large pizza in the US is not available in Japan. Visit a Japanese restaurant, and you’ll find that you can usually finish a meal without feeling overly stuffed at the end.
By practicing moderation, we can regularly eat what we want with no major repercussions for our health. There should be no need to give up sugar, carbs, or any of your favorite foods. And as vegetables, complex carbs, and fiber-rich foods are still better for you, adding healthy toppings can be a great way to create a more filling dish. For example,
load up a bowl of soba with broccoli, edamame, mushrooms, and carrots.
3. Take cooking shortcuts
Oftentimes, healthy home cooking is seen as an hours long endeavor, only reserved for those with lots of time to spare. After a busy day of work, the prospect of cooking is so tiring, that we often resort to takeout.
But while home cooking does take some time, I’ve learned from Japanese
bento box-making
that cooking shortcuts can still be healthy. Working parents in Japan with little time in the morning typically make healthy lunches for their kids. There are ways to get clever with the shortcuts available.
Instead of boiling water, people often poach eggs or steam broccoli in the microwave. It’s normal to rely on frozen peas or
edamame
to add a bit of green to a rice dish. I’ve learned to understand that there is nothing wrong with using a small portion of store-bought dressing on some chicken steamed in the microwave.
4. Prioritize joy when it comes to exercise
Many people consider exercise to be a necessary chore, rather than something they look forward to. This makes sense, considering exercise is often done to look a certain way or build a certain physique.
But in Japan, exercise is also often spoken about in terms of joy and quality of life, rather than calories burned. For example, the event “undoukai,” or Sports Day, in the Japanese public-school curriculum is an annual event when the entire school takes a day to participate in a variety of activities, ranging from track and field to tug-of-war.
It’s playful, collaborative, inclusive, and, most importantly, fun.
Sports Day isn’t just for students. It’s a national holiday celebrated on the second Monday of October every year. Many working adults get the day off to support their children and participate in games or are encouraged by the government to do something to
celebrate physical activity
.
Exercise as a necessary chore to burn calories or look a certain way can be
emotionally exhausting, but by reframing it for joy we receive immediate benefits:
It makes us feel good.
5. Decadence is defined in terms of quality, not quantity
If you look up decadent foods in the US, search results include
Philly cheesesteaks
, Chicago deep-dish pizzas, giant cheeseburgers, and ice-cream sundaes.
Decadence is often measured in terms of size and caloric value.
However, if you were to look up decadent foods in Japan, you might be surprised to discover a page that shows fruits, vegetables, and even seafood.
This isn’t to say decadence is seen as healthy in Japan, but instead of size or caloric value, it is often measured through quality.
The seasonality of something, how it was produced, where it was grown,
or how it was prepared are all factors contributing to the idea of decadence.
In this way, the idea of treating yourself to delicious food is not limited to large amounts of
calorie-dense foods
. While it can include those things, delicious foods can also take on an expanded meaning.
The Japanese approach to looking after my health has made it not just easy but joyful. Looking after our health does not need to feel like a chore but can instead be something integrated into our day-to-day life to make our well-being feel more meaningful and fulfilling.

This difference in indulgence helped me embody an important understanding of what it means to eat well. While there is nothing inherently wrong about enjoying cakes, burgers, and fries, there seems to be a narrative in the US, and maybe other Western countries, that indulgent food is not just tasty food, but it’s often food we view as unhealthy.
When large amounts of calorie-dense foods become our idea of “treating ourselves,”
we see anything else as an act of deprivation. To eat fruit rather than cake, or to enjoy steamed fish rather than a steak, is restricting ourselves. I’ve found that depriving ourselves is not just unsustainable, but it can lead to stress and shame, making us believe that we did something wrong when we enjoy something else.
This doesn’t mean sugary or calorie-dense foods can’t be a part of our healthy lifestyle, but when we can view indulgence through the lens of quality and taste, it expands our view of what eating well means — indulgent food and healthy food aren’t mutually exclusive, and treating ourselves doesn’t need to be an act of shame.
It’s how we can go from feeling like we’re always on a diet, to just healthy living.

Kay Kays Speaking About Pancreatic Cancer SOS
Pancreatic Cancer SOS: An Online Group for Patients, Survivors, and Caregivers.
The World’s Longest Survivor of Pancreatic Cancer. In comparison with the four other forms of cancer that claim the most lives, pancreatic cancer is the least-funded and toughest to detect, but this wasn’t something Kay Kays planned to sit back and accept.
Now, 29 years later, she may not have a pancreas, spleen, gall bladder or a full lung, but she has something arguably just as invaluable: hope. She’s also become an ardent patient advocate, helping patients come to terms with their diagnoses and treatments while touting the work of Dr. Von Hoff.
One of the longest-living pancreatic cancer survivors out there.
Kay first began battling the deadly disease back in 1994, after suffering severe back pains. Initially, she was thrilled to find out she wasn’t dealing with gallstones, but her joy was short-lived, and she soon learned, thanks to the help of some diligent interns, that what she had was pancreatic cancer.
Likening the diagnosis to “getting hit by a freight train,” she had little time to let the news sink in before finding out she was a candidate for the
Whipple procedure
, which involved, as she put it, an “extensive re-plumbing of the digestive system.”
Soon after having the head of her pancreas removed, she learned that she not only had pancreatic cancer, but that she had cyst mucinous adenocarcinoma, a rare, slow-growing form of the disease for which there was no form of treatment available.
Without chemotherapy or radiation as viable options, Kay’s doctors told her that, should her cancer return, she would likely succumb to the disease within four to six months.
Five full years passed before Kay found out that cancer had, in fact, returned to what remained of her pancreas, at which point she had both her pancreas and spleen removed. She felt hope for the first time in a long time, but that hope was short-lived, and she soon learned that the cancer had metastasized to her lymph nodes.
At this point, doctors deemed her inoperable, but after reading an article in a newspaper about pancreatic cancer researcher
Dr. Daniel Von Hoff
, she made an appointment to meet with him and ultimately ended up signing on as one of his first targeted therapy patients.
Three years later, her cancer reemerged in her lung, and she ended up having a portion
of it, too, removed. Now, 25 years later, she may not have a pancreas, spleen, gall bladder
or a full lung, but she has something arguably just as invaluable: hope. She’s also become an ardent patient advocate, helping patients come to terms with their diagnoses and treatments while touting the work of Dr. Von Hoff.
“The man is a bulldog,” she said, noting that he’s known for pulling out chairs for his patients and urging them to call him “Dan.” “He’s not only a fantastic researcher, clinician and mentor… he’s a fantastic patient advocate. He’s more patient-oriented than any doctor I’ve ever met.”
“I’ve survived a very long time after first being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
It is important that my story is being told because people need to know that a diagnosis of the worst of cancers does not mean an automatic death sentence. Patients are living longer, and longer as medical advancements are occurring at a more rapid pace.
Sustaining hope and courage is so important.”

Mistrial of the Century
Posted on
November 13, 2023
by
Ken
These two criminals must be investigated.
For The Defense with Brad Koffel:
THE INDICTMENT OF
DONALD TRUMP IS A THREAT TO ALL US on Apple Podcasts
Bill And Hillary Clinton New York Connections – Search (bing.com)
I wonder who is paying them off in the state of New York. Who’s paying them off to destroy the Republic and constitution. Donald Trump is the leading contender for president. As the Marxist Democrats spread their cancer and hatred. As the Marxist Democrats are destroying our Constitutional Republic.
What a shocker, the Stalinists are at it again !
It’s a Charade orchestrated by the Communists masquerading as “democrats” to Disenfranchise YOU the Voter in the 2024 Election through Lies, Propaganda and Misinformation through Criminally Motivated Judicial and Prosecutorial Gross Malfeasance ! It’s “The Gong Show” of Legal Proceedings !
New York’s Government sponsored Corruption and Totalitarianism is why people
and businesses are moving out of New York State and taking their money with them!
One of a long list of self-inflicted wounds committed by State and Local Government
Officials not qualified to operate a “hot dog stand” at Coney Island!
(edited)
Lady justice is not only un- blindfolded, but she’s also absent from the process. They both obviously hate Trump much like Roland Freisler in Hitlers Reich Justice Ministry, who tried & convicted anyone who opposed the Nazi agenda. In this case, the Trump business organization & family members.
The only way to get rid of people like these two, is to politely and logically challenge them at every opportunity because they are being allowed to violate American citizens rights unfettered. If you don’t agree with me, then I hope the government does the same to you as they are doing to Trump.
Obama is a Marxist and member of the Muslim brotherhood (bing.com)
THAT will never happen in a MARXIST State like NY, DC & all of those being RUINED
by Marxists. ONLY when the People of each town being RUINED by these AMERICA HATING GLOBALISTS, CHANGE who is at the top of the food chain whose goal IS TO RUIN the lives of the very people paying their salaries, ALSO will ANYTHING change.
The corrupt Judges, in particular this literal CLOWN & a Total EMBARRASSMENT of the very system whose robe he wears, IS the perfect example of WHY ALL judges need TERM LIMITS.
Disbar both the judge & The D.A. for EXTREME UNCONSTITUTIONAL BIAS The RAN an Election Campaign on the premise that She WoulD “GET TRUMP ” this TDS having, Psychopath, SAID OUTRIGHT, That She Would USE THE OFFICE to FALSELY Charge the Democrats (Bidens) TOP POLITICAL OPPOSITION with ANYTHING she Could MAKE UP The Judge is Compromised by His TDS & The MONEY.
He Is Being PAID to “GET TRUMP” (follow the Money, for a Democrat ~
IT IS ALL ABOUT THE GREED, The Materialism, Hurting America & Americans).
The Democrats have CREATED on One Side, LAWLESS, Criminal Run Cities (dem areas are Gang Infested, MURDERVILLES, Towns full Of RAPISTs, Carjackers, looters, Your Basic Democrat mentality is OBVIOUS, Destroy the Area you live in & Blame EVERYONE ELSE for Your STUPIDITY!!
The problem is they have the hidden agenda to “Get Trump” and do not care
about the TRUTH! Some higher body of justice must expose and correct this!
EXECUTE. ELECTION INTERFERENCE IS TREASON.
TREASON MUST BE MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCE.
ASSOCIATION WITH OBAMA AND SOROS IS TREASON.
While I agree, it should be considered a mistrial, so should the January 6 nightmare,
but it did not happen, and because the Democrats are in power any hope of a fair trial,
any hope of a fair and just conclusion to this trial is a delusion. I don’t think the public
truly gets how far these people are willing to go.
Just 14% of Americans think Biden has made them better off as president:
Another dire poll shows 70% believe Biden omics has ‘hurt’ them (msn.com)
They pushed a fake vaccine , they knew it would kill thousands if not hundreds of thousands or millions and in fact and yes I know it will sound paranoid. I think they intended it to kill millions. They will walk over our corpses to keep Trump or any independent out of office. They’re going to cheat like hell again, their candidate
is going to “win”, the question is, what will we do then?
These evil satanists have no business practicing law.
They should pay for their misuse of the courts to interfere in our sacred election process.
If the DOJ & Supremes can’t or won’t Trump and all being slanders should sue them, NYC and the state of NY for 100’s of millions for allowing this Keystone Kops debacle to waste 100’s of millions of taxpayers hard earned dollars while allowing rampant crime to thrive.
Televise Trump Trials! Televise Trump Trials! He is running for president and is a former president, We have a right to see the shenanigans going on! Do it in the light of day!
There is no victim, no crime, no fraud. This is “lawfare.” The PROCESS is the punishment. We must enact a FEDERAL law governing all 50 states to protect people from judges & DAs/AGs in states. I’m not saying to criminalize their judgement…but this obviously ISN’T about a mistake in judgement (like on an appeal.) This is obviously an abuse of power…without any accountability.
There isn’t 1 single mechanism that could “punish” this judge & AG for this egregious behavior. Or how about what the Judge did in Flynn’s trial? It’s time to change that.
I’m talking about disbarment and/or financial damages for defendants & JAIL time.
If you abuse your extraordinary power, there should be extraordinary consequences.
Write the Supreme Court of the United States to state this is election interference. The highest court of the land must hear us that we will not put up with judges & AG who work for Soros to use their position & power to steal another election! Here is mine to them about the gag order . We need you to look at the court case against Pres. Trump at the Judge where she has placed a gag order on Pres. Trump.
Pres. Trump is running for president & this is Election interference. This is unconstitutional when the court case has not been brought in front of her. If you care about the legitimacy of the federal judiciary, the Supreme Court must correct Judge egregiously unconstitutional gag order on a criminal defendant and leading presidential
Trump is being RAILROADED for 1 reason & 1 reason only,
to interfere with the 24’ election.
#ElectionInterference
The scumbag tyrant communist democrats are afraid of Trump winning.
It is time for somebody with a platform to point out what has been ignored, and intentionally so by every member of the media, law enforcement and Congress, the court cases against Trump are federal felonies because law was created outside of legislation to deny President Trump, and those with him of their Constitutional rights. That law is found in Title 18, section 242 and it is called Deprivation of Rights Under the Color of Law. color means false. Its punishments include time in prison all the way to execution.
They’re the ones that should be prosecuted! They’re citizens are suffering greatly
from their failed progressive policies and they focus their efforts on a political witch hunt. These corrupt officials should be charged with a crime, fraudulently using taxpayer dollars for a politically motivated agenda.
However, being in NY nothing will happen! Trying to stop the Trumps from doing business in New York? Gee, wonder how much their business contributes in taxes each year? Wonder how many taxpayer dollars they spent on this witch hunt that could have gone to fighting real crime? Despicable!
What is WRONG With America Today is There is No Rightful Justice.
BREAKING: NY Judge’s Wife Caught Attacking Trump On Twitter (trendingpoliticsnews.com)
These Degenerate Marxists Judges don’t know anything about property values, taxes or hard work. Their main thrust is control and power all the while. New Yorkers should start calling the New York State BAR Association and let them know to remove that judge and why.. but be nice. New York is a wild morass mess in their Court System.
This Trump Prosecution is a great example. The only Countries that allow Political Courts to interfere and ruin their nations are third world banana republics. At what point do you get when it’s time to quit being fools ? It is an embarrassing trial. Replying to
@Keiko1104
These 2 piles of human crap need to be MADE AN EXAMPLE OF……BUST OUT THE CONSTITUTION
https://dos.ny.gov/system/files/do…
AND LET’S DO THIS!!!!
Soros and Obama paid radical activists!!!!
The Left attracts unbelievably stupid people.
These people are hired by Soros and Obamascam.
Independent thinkers can see through their baseless lies a mile away. Justice is not in that courtroom, only criminals in robes & disguised as prosecutors that are persecuted. DEEP STATE DEMOCRATS BRIBERY MONEY IS THE MOTIVATION OF JUDICIAL AND PROSECUTORIAL ATTACKS AGAINST TRUMP!!! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!
Look in his eyes. You can see it. He’s got lure evil and hatred in him. Darkness hates light. Look at everyone that hates Trump…..IMAGINE why!!! All their dirty secrets ….Trump knows. Their dirty deeds are done in the dark. While Trump works for God to bring those dark dirty things to light. He reveals them. So…Trump got haters …and he’s ok with it.
He knew it would happen.
He hates Trump because Trump STANDS for what is right.
Which includes exposing and eliminating child abusers. Sadly, their incompetence behavior is endorsed by NY Supreme Court justices, NY governor, Gillibrand, Nadler, Schumer, and the Entire New York legislation, ALL ENDORSING CRIMINAL INJUSTICE IN A COURTROOM. They need to be charged and tried for wasting federal taxpayers money!
I’m all for saving taxpayers money.
This is the most ridiculous case in American history.
Those two morons should be disbarred! Call a mistrial and be done with this, so they can do their real jobs and take care of all the criminals on the street. This entire court case is all for show for the judge and that woman.
Every American should sue them personally for malicious prosecution and recover
ALL our court costs and damages. The “damages” should be huge since the defendant is a Presidential candidate and this bogus trial has adversely affected his campaign. Then have them both disbarred and financially destroy them.
To be truthful, the Biden crime family extends to the whole Democratic party. if the Democrats win the 2024 election this country will be down shits creek without a paddle and the American people won’t like it, that’s guaranteed. If Americans haven’t understood that in the last 3 years they have been living in a radical police state where the Biden administration and the Deep state is using police tactics to make every American subject to their own rules and regulations and subject to their every order and jail time. The riots all over this country are designed in order to control the people just like any other radical Fascist or Communist country. Take control of America or forfeit your home and your freedom!
Amendment 7
— Much like the January 6ers. Not sure why Trump can’t have a fair
trial and a jury. “In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, no fact tried by a jury, shall
be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules
of the common law.”
Prosecute their corrupt and illegitimate charges against Trump! Trump won and that’s what they are trying to prevent from happening! We the people cannot allow these corrupt officials to get by with their crimes! Stand up all 80 million patriots and restore our Republic- we are not a democracy- we are a Banana Republic!
New York is a stinkin’ mess!
I’m really upset with the New Yorkers that fled the mess they made and hide for cover
in well run States, like my State of Florida. GO FiX YOUR MESS! What’s happening in
a courtroom in NYC is only going to get worse if you New Yorkers won’t stand against it!
We the People have seen enough already & need a Federal Case before the Supreme Court to seek justice. In New York State. The only problem is, the judge and the prosecutor should be the defendants sued or accused in a court of law…

Asian Socio-economic Collapse

For decades, China has seen relentless growth in power and economic prosperity.
But there are growing signs that the economic miracle has ended and that the path to further

growth in the years ahead will
be more difficult. But does that mean China has lost its chance to overtake the U.S.?

China’s growth model
China’s gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, adjusted for inflation, surged from
$293 in 1985 to more than $12,000 in 2021. Demographics, exports & capital investments made this economic miracle possible. Asia Aging: Demographic, Economic, and Health Transitions.
China’s enormous population — which was the largest in the world until India’s recently surpassed it — served as cheap labor for assembling goods that were exported aggressively. Meanwhile, the government invested heavily in infrastructure to support this export-led growth model and boost standards of living.
INTRODUCTION
Asia Aging: Demographic, Economic, and Health Transitions (census.gov)
Written by: Wan He, Daniel Goodkind, and Paul Kowal,
With Issa Saleem Almasarweh, Thanh Long Giang, Mohammad Mainul Islam,
Samsik Lee, Bussarawan Teerawichitchainan, and Nai Peng Tey
This report addresses the demographic, economic, and health transitions that have taken place in Asian countries, while considering the wide diversity of economic development throughout Asia. Asia’s aging population is a reflection of the unusually rapid declines in fertility and mortality rates. Just as significant are the sheer numbers involved.
As of 2020, the population of Asia exceeded 4.5 billion (including China and India,
the two countries with over one billion each), more than one-half the world’s total.
There were an estimated 414 million Asians aged 65 and older in 2020, projected
to grow to more than 1.2 billion in 2060, which implies that one out of every
10 people in the world will be an older Asian.
Asian socio-economic collapse – Bing video
However, China’s economy has shifted from export-centric to a consumer-led,
debt-fueled model in recent years. This model is now at risk. As of July, China’s
imports and exports had fallen quicker than expected as demand softened.
Uphill battle ahead
China’s recent trade tensions with the U.S., which kicked off under the previous administration and have continued under President Joe Biden’s, have disrupted a trading relationship that was integral to the economic “miracle” of the past four decades or so.
Meanwhile, wages have been rising rapidly, according to the country’s own National Bureau of Statistics, thus narrowing the gap between Chinese workers and rivals in other markets. Consequently, China reported that its exports were down 14.5% year-over-year, as of July. Earlier in the year, Beijing said its economy had grown by only 3% in 2022, the slowest pace since the mid-1970s, not counting 2020, the first COVID year.
That’s not the only change the country is currently experiencing.
Not only is China no longer the world’s most populous country; its actually seeing population decline that could, according to UN estimates, see the country’s population
fall to less than a billion by 2080 and then less than 800 million by 2100.
Perhaps the biggest threat to China’s economic prospects is its addiction to real estate. Property has traditionally been considered the safest way to save and safeguard capital
in China. Now, residential and commercial real estate accounts for 25% of the country’s economy. Plunging home prices and failing high-profile developers like Evergrande could create a debt crisis.
Related video: Decoding China and US economies 2023 outlook (WION).
In light of all this, geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihanhas told Joe Rogan he believes
China probably has another 10 years
before it faces significant civil unrest and economic decline.
Global implications
China’s economic growth has given it
immense influence over geopolitics
in recent decades, the end of which will have major implications on the rest of the world. It could mean that trade, finance and geopolitics could be
U.S.-centric for longer than expected
.
U.S. per capita GDP is $75,269, about six times higher than China’s.
The economy expanded 2.1% in the most recent quarter, and growth is expected to remain steady until 2033. The U.S. dollar still dominates trade and international commerce, while the country accounts for 12.4% of global economic activity.
It’s difficult to predict the future of either the U.S. or Chinese economy.
Sudden shifts in geopolitics or breakthroughs in technology would shift the picture.
China could still have a chance to overtake its biggest rival. But based on current projections, this seems unlikely.
Policymakers and investors around the world might want to prepare for a world where China’s continuing growth is no longer taken for granted.

Asia Cities by Population 2023 (worldpopulationreview.com)
Asia’s developing economies outpaced the rest of the world in both population expansion and growth rate between 1970 and 20171. The urban population in Asia increased 3.4% per annum, compared to 2.6% in the rest of the developing world, and 1% in developed economies
1
. According to the UN, the Asia-Pacific region became majority urban in 2019 for the first time in human history, with more than 2.3 billion people now living in cities
2
. The fastest urban population growth is set to occur in secondary cities of Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam2. Another 1.1 billion people will live in the region’s cities in the next 20 years
3
.
Asia is urbanizing at a breath-taking speed.
Of the 47 cities in the world that are defined as ‘megacities’, two-thirds are in Asia. According to the UN, the Asia-Pacific region became majority urban in 2019 for the first time in human history, with more than 2.3 billion people now living in cities. Fastest urban population growth is set to occur in secondary cities of Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
As these cities are growing, they face
multiple slow-moving stresses
at once. The governments need to manage housing and infrastructure for the millions of new city dwellers, but also expand the preparedness of their cities for slow but certain threats as climate change, gridlock, food insecurity and public health crises.
There is a critical need to strengthen resilience in cities in the Asia-Pacific by implementing strategic and long-term planning. However, many of these cities lack the capabilities to prepare funding proposals to potential financiers or investors to accelerate the development of resilience projects.
In this
Asia Society Switzerland
and
Swiss Re
event,
the first in a series of two
on Urban Resilience in Asia, we will explore what the different approaches are that make cities resilient against slow-moving threats, share best practices we can learn from, and explore the relation between political systems and the level of resilience of cities.
The event will take place in the beautiful
auditorium at Swiss Re Next
in Zurich. It can also be followed online via Microsoft Teams.
Inside the diverse and growing Asian population in the US The number of counties where people of Asian descent represent more than 5 percent of the population has risen to 176 in 2020 from 39 in 1990
The number of people who identify as Asian in the United States nearly tripled in the past three decades, and Asians are now the fastest-growing of the nation’s four largest racial and ethnic groups, according to recently released census numbers.
But in addition to the uptick, the Asian population has become geographically diverse
with wide variations in income, citizenship status and political preference, according to

Swimming With Stingrays
Posted on
November 13, 2023
by
Ken
Darting around to and fro, they frolicked with such curious delight.
Wow! an incredible experience!
They were such playful creatures!
It was only after the experience that a friend told me their stingrays can be dangerous.
Of course I did not think of that at all during the time and am glad I did not know this fact!
Sometimes our brains can run away with fear if a doubting thought creeps in.
To balance that fine line between fear & faith is important if you can find it.
It can be a Jedi warrior/warrioress path to know about the danger of something & still pursue it!
What do you think? How do you handle that thin line of fear & faith when you are faced with it?
Tara Coyote
Please be carefully aware sweet sister:::::While swimming in chest-deep water, Steve Irwin approached a short-tail stingray, with an approximate span of two metres (6 ft 7 in), from the rear, in order to film it swimming away. He initially believed he had only a punctured lung; however, the stingray’s barb pierced his heart, causing him to bleed to death.
Rita Anne Carey
Love this! My understanding is Stingrays are only really dangerous if you accidentally stand on them or startle them when too close (ie-their barbed tail could whip around & damage you). They are not predators to us or attack for no reason. I’m glad you didn’t worry & enjoyed them. Horses can hurt is accidentally (& intentionally for some) but that doesn’t stop us reveling in their magic presence/
Tara Coyote
Rita Anne Carey
yes exactly! I totally agree.
Yes, this was exactly my thoughts about it too. After having horses and being around
a fair amount of wild animals I’ve learned that animals don’t attack unless they need to defend themselves, which is completely understandable! I appreciate you sharing this. They felt very playful, friendly and curious to me.
Kathy McClelland Cowan
They are amazing! We have them here in our local NZ waters.
I remember my first-time scuba diving at Ahukini landing Kauai and swimming with a whole school of about 14 eagle rays. Spellbinding!!! Frightening and exciting, I couldn’t move. It was so utterly magical to just be there in their presence.
I’ve only seen rays one other time freediving there, I was at Poipu snorkeling outside
of kiddie pool and I saw something in between the rocks as I dove down, looking closer,
I must’ve given that ray a start because next moment I was faced to face with it as it swam out from between the rocks. My heart was beating so fast, it had given me a huge startle as well. That and swimming with the doz + are the only two times I’ve ever seen and swam with rays in all of my diving and snorkeling in Hawaii.
Here in NZ, there are so many, we see them out paddling on our SUP boards. The orcas like to eat them and they will come into the harbour for their stingray meal. I’ve caught one fishing, not intentionally, they put up a huge fight and we had to cut the line.
It’s dangerous to bring them aboard your boat as their tail will cause damage.
In Mexico, my friend stepped on one and it sliced his Achilles’ tendon.
It took him over a year to heal from it, so they can be dangerous.
Tara Coyote
Kathy McClelland Cowan
oh my, great info here! Thank you for sharing.
Good to know all of this. Sounds very painful, what your friend went through.
I have never seen one here, but when I am out by Poipu I will keep an eye out for them.
I appreciate knowing about your adventurous life there!
Eugene Turner
Two things we can agree on; Life is terminal and living is inherently dangerous.
Our only option is in weighing the risk/benefit of our behavior. You faced more
danger driving from Grass Valley to your parents’ house in the Bay Area.
When you choose to live you face acceptable danger.
When you choose to live in fear you shut down. You become anxious,
isolated and depressed. I live in the Foothills for a decade.
There was an active population of rattlesnakes. I must have run into half a
dozen a year hiking. A few I was one step away from a serious close encounter.
But I never stop hiking. You just leant to become more aware.
You didn’t survive near death and cancer to hide away at home.
So live this blessed life of yours.
When death comes no matter how.
Not much you can do about it anyways.
Live without fear but be cautious!
To that point, just yesterday I was happily enjoying a chicken sandwich for lunch
when I suddenly sneezed. A quick inhale forced a piece down the wrong pipe.
Suddenly I was gasping and coughing violently all by myself.
It took several seconds which seemed like 15 minutes to cough it out.
It could have easily gone the other way. Just like that ‘poof’…. Have faith.
Love this share and I’m glad you finished the sandwich! Yikes, sounds scary!
Glad you are okay! Yes, I think about that too, all we have gone through and something seemingly simple could knock us out… And yes, it was way more dangerous to make that long drive down, very good point! I got used to rattlesnakes too…

It’s been a humbling & wonderful experience to see what an impact my memoir
‘Grace, Grit & Gratitude: A Cancer Thriver’s Journey from Hospice to Full Recovery
with the Healing Power of Horses has had after being published in August, 2021
Little did I suspect it would have such a far-reaching impact when I self-published it.
I told myself that if I helped give one person hope then I’ve done my job.
Two years later and it’s sold over 3,000 copies
I’ve had people from all over the world write to me,
telling me how it’s impacted their life in a positive manner.
This is beyond my wildest expectations!
Journeying with cancer can be unbelievably scary.
To face your mortality is not something we’ve been prepared to do in our death phobic western civilization. Whether you have it or a beloved friend or family member, it can absolutely shake the foundation of what feels ‘safe’.
It is necessary to face your fears to the best of your ability & do massive inner healing, while on a cancer path.
The audiobook version of my memoir came out this year and is in Audible as well!
My second book, a children’s picture book ‘Comanche the Wild Mustang’ was a joy to create with the talented artist
Nica Draws Nature
. This is the story of my gorgeous horse Comanche who was born in the wild, is a Equine Therapy horse through my biz
Wind Horse Sanctuary
& has been a powerful healing force. This book is my tribute to him, the healing power of horses & a cry for the wild horses who’s lives & natural habitat is severely threatened.
There is also a coloring book version of the Comanche book too!
These books are available online on Amazon, Barnes & Noble
or you can purchase a signed copy through my website
Links to books in comments
A portion of every purchase of GGG goes to
The Wild Beauty Foundation
& a portion of every purchase of the kids book goes to
Wild Horse Protection Act
Stay tuned for the next kids book with Nica & me! This one is about Hawaiian
, whales, ocean conservation & plastic awareness. It should be out sometime in the fall of 2023.
It is phenomenally gorgeous with an important message!

Spinal Implants Show New Promise.

Spinal implants show new promise. – Bing video
Marc Gauthier had trouble getting up from a chair. His steps were small and shaky and he would fall five or six times a day. His Parkinson’s disease had gotten so bad he couldn’t be left alone.
The former architect and small-town mayor had been “reborn” once, two decades earlier, when he received an implant that stimulated his brain and stabilized his trembling hands. He was ready for another rebirth.
So, two years ago, Gauthier, who lives in a French region famous for its winemaking, volunteered to be the first person ever to receive a spinal cord stimulator designed
to treat Parkinson’s.
Now, he’s the subject of a study, published Monday, reporting his success.
Speaking with reporters Thursday via a webinar, Gauthier, 63, said his walking
has improved enough that he can go to a store alone again. He can climb stairs.
And he no longer tumbles to the ground.
A device implanted in Gauthier’s lower back sends pulses of energy to his spinal cord, which then sends signals to muscles in his hips and legs, restoring connections damaged by Parkinson’s. The stimulation improves his balance and stops the “freezing” that is common among people with Parkinson’s.
Detectors placed in his shoes and on his legs and hips detect residual movements and update the location and timing of the stimulation to help propel him forward and help him navigate stairs. The stimulation is tailored specifically to Gauthier’s physiology and needs, though the technology has been used before to allow a small number of
people with spinal cord injuries to walk again
.
Researchers have spent five years adapting a neuroprosthetic to help patients with Parkinson’s, and they published their results in the
journal Nature Medicine on Monday
. “The principles and technology are really very much the same,” said Grégoire Courtine,
the neuroscientist who has led both efforts.
Gauthier, speaking in French as Courtine and other researchers translated, said the difference for him has been dramatic: “I can now walk with much more confidence,
and my daily life has profoundly improved.”
Directing pulses to the right place at the right time
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that typically strikes after
age 60 but can start earlier. In Gauthier’s case, it began when he was just 35.
The disease, which gets worse over time, is
characterized by involuntary movements, stiffness and trouble with balance and coordination
. It also can cause problems with talking, mental and behavioral changes, difficulty sleeping, depression, memory loss and fatigue. For most patients, treatment begins with drugs to replace dopamine, the brain chemical that is lost in Parkinson’s. Brain implants that provide deep brain stimulation can be used as patients progress, particularly to address hand tremors.
Gauthier received a DBS implant 20 years ago, which he described as his first rebirth.
But as the disease progresses, many patients develop gait problems that are resistant to both dopamine and DBS, said Jocelyn Bloch, the neurosurgeon at Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland who performed Gauthier’s latest surgery.
That’s what this spinal cord stimulation is designed to address.
The stimulator, she said, is similar to one used for decades to treat neuropathic pain,
and though it must be precisely located, the surgery to implant it is straightforward.
The difficult part is delivering the pulses of energy at precisely the right time and in the right places to benefit each patient. “If you stimulate in the wrong manner with the wrong patterns and the wrong parameters, you can really disturb gait,” said Eduardo Martin Moraud, an expert in neuromodulation at Lausanne University Hospital.
Gauthier, for example, has a very uneven gait, but by providing stimulation to one side, it becomes much more symmetrical and balanced, said Courtine, who with Bloch co-directs the NeuroRestore center, an research and development platform based in French-speaking Switzerland that develops neurosurgical approaches to restoring neurological function.

The device corrects deficits and amplifies Gauthier’s movement, but it does not direct it, Moraud said. “He’s always fully in control of what he does. At no point is he controlled by the machine.” He turns the device off when sleeping or when sitting for long periods.
He can feel tingling from the stimulator, but it’s not bothersome.
As the disease progresses, researchers expect they will have to retune
the device to keep each patient from backsliding.
Getting the devices to more people
The team already has implanted a stimulator in a second patient who is showing early signs of progress, Moraud said, though researchers have not yet written up their results.
With funding from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the team plans next to initiate the therapy with six more patients. The researchers hope they can better understand how patients might differ in their response to the stimulation and whether some won’t benefit at all. Through their company, ONWARD Medical, they hope to scale up the technology
so, it will help many more people with Parkinson’s and spinal cord injuries.
“I only hope that we go from one to 1,000 (people),” Courtine said.
“That is the mission we have: to make this available widely across the world.”

In a commentary accompanying Monday’s study, two researchers not involved in the
work said their only concerns are that results might be variable. They want to understand whether it will be effective enough for everyone or whether more invasive technologies will be needed to obtain the specific data needed for each patient.
Courtine said he expects more data will become available, from patients who have had DBS devices implanted more recently. Gauthier’s device is older, so it doesn’t provide the real-time information available in newer models.
“It will be exciting to see how this approach translates to a larger group of patients with freezing-of-gait in the setting of advanced PD,” authors Aviv Mizrahi-Kliger and Karunesh Ganguly wrote.
The device won’t cure people, Bloch noted.
But ideally it will give them a better quality of life, just as it has improved Gauthier’s.
Gauthier said his wife is particularly happy because he can go out unassisted and
she can finally be alone at home, Bloch said, laughing, as she also translated.
“It wasn’t a straight line, an easy line,” Gauthier said about the process of getting
the implant and learning to use it. “It was a lot of work. But it was worth it.”

“The Two Presidents Who Have Caused the Most Harm to America”
Republicans Vote Reagan and Trump as Best Recent Presidents (msn.com)
So here’s what the Socialists are planning for 2024…
They will Plant Joey in again and will make Newsom the VP… When Joey kicks the bucket Newsom is Prez Without a Single Vote… This is why Newsom went to CHINA to Kiss Xi’s ASS ~ Much like Joey does All the Time for Obama = Biden = Newsom…. Overproduction
of the fiat currency = No Domestic Drilling= Carbon Tax= Illegal Immigration= Anti Bill
of Rights = Anti Law Enforcement/Small Business = Anti-Semitic/Christian = Child Sex Trafficking = CRT= LGBTQ= Tyranny = Communist/Islamic Aggression = Global Nuclear War = Pre-Tribulation Rapture= Tribulation. These are not in a consequential causal link, but part and parcel to effort by globalist tyrants.
Speaker Johnson just announced no impeachment (which tells me he was threatened by the Elites). My faith in the federal government is gone. Trump winning is our Hail Mary 4th down TD pass hope. Trump always encourages everyone to seek repentance/faith in Jesus Christ, Hashem/Almighty God’s Son. He is our Last Hope in this Hopeless World.
‘We’re looking at a downsized America’: Kevin O’Leary warns any new house,
car and lifestyle you enjoy will be significantly ‘smaller’ — here’s what he means
and how you can adjust (yahoo.com)
“We’re looking at a downsized America,” warns Kevin O’Leary
The impact of high rates extends beyond the housing market.
“You want
to borrow money for a car? Sorry, that’s 8-to-9%. Used to be 5%,” O’Leary continued.
“So, a smaller, less expensive car. That’s happening at the same time.” Edmunds reports that borrowing rates for new vehicles in the third quarter of 2023 hit an average of 7.4%,
a figure not seen since 2007. O’Leary summed it up by saying that if you are in your early 20s, your lifestyle will be “about 20% less.”
Let’s see: Lying liberal ult-left anarchist country destroying DEMON-RAT
democrats raised US deficit spending by over $3 TRILLION DOLLARS. Then, blatantly bribed brain-dead Biden attacked the US energy industry, banned drilling on federal lands (where it had previously been authorized by DJT) & told financial institutions to stop loaning working capital funds to US oil drilling companies!!
Result: Just the News reports,
“California living costs typical middle-class family an extra $26,479 per year”
Gee thanks to Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi & the rest of US Dems!!
—-DEMS IN A BLANKET–FRY ‘EM LIKE BACON!!!
Life is too short to be anything but happy
I’d leave but spent my whole life here.
My work connections are here. Family and friends are here. Plus stand a good chance
my neighbors would hate on me because of where I came from. They’ll say stupid shit like. Don’t bring your blue wave with you. Many of us don’t vote blue here. If they cannot afford to live in California and they move from the state, leave their liberal voting behind!
Don’t screw up the rest of the country because you are a Democrat!
Ken Paxton | Here’s the Truth about Election Fraud – CITIZEN FREE PRESS
The government bailed the banks out, but even with their help, they continued to work under debt. Many companies were in trouble as well but could no longer obtain credit.
People were losing their jobs and could not afford to spend money or pay their debts.
Japan was struggling. The property values were spiraling, interest rates going down, and unemployment was rising. A lot of people who were employed worked part-time because companies were cutting costs wherever they could. GDP was declining or stagnating.
Can The Effects Still Be Felt Today?
A prolonged stagnation that followed has left lasting effects that the country still endures today. As the term Lost Decade was becoming more popular, the consequences of the economic crisis were still widely felt well past the ten years.
A new decade came, but the trial was not over yet.
Today, Japan is still fighting
deflation
, low-interest rates, and weak banks. Even though the effect of the lost decade has lessened, there are new challenges ahead as there are still many people working part-time jobs that lack stability. This, combined with a rise in the older population that is common in many developed countries, makes tackling modern negative economic trends shortly after a problematic period such a difficult task.
To have a one world government all countries have to have the same economy. 3rd world countries cannot come into ours so we have to go down to theirs!! Once that happens it’s over. So connect the dots people!!! We are on our way. On purpose and all by design!! OBVIOUSLY!!
VOTE TRUMP AND IT WON’T HAPPEN!
THAT’S EXACTLY WHY THEY WANT HIM FINANCIALLY DESTROYED AND PERSONALLY DESTROYED AND HIS FAMILY!!
HE ALREADY SET THEIR AGENDA BACK 4 YEARS SO THEY HAVE BEEN TRAVELING DOWN AND FREAKING OUT!!
THEY EVEN RELEASED A VIRUS TO DESTROY THE ECONOMY AND TO STOP TRUMP!!

Inflation is the result of bad fiscal policies,
in short, overspending and it seems the deeper they take us into debt, the deeper they want us to go. Buden never had a real job in his entire life, he doesn’t know jack about working Americans trying to pay their bills and make ends meet! As it will turn out he’s stolen from us for 5 decades! Only a moron would vote for this imbecile. No way we have 81 million morons, that’s why these tyrannical Marxists are so deranged about Trump.
The Lost Decade of Japan – Bing video
Financial crisis in Japan.
You have probably heard of the
Great Depression
in the 1930s,
but have you heard of a similar period in Japan’s history?
If the answer is no, here is everything you need to know
about the ‘lost decade’ in Japan.
What Caused the Lost Decade in Japan?
Similarly, to the USA in the second half of the 20th century, Japan’s economy was experiencing growth that culminated in the 1980s. The decade in question is sometimes called the ”Decade of Greed” as earnings and spendings were very high. Until the mid-2000s, everything seemed to go well, but as nothing lasts forever, a crisis began in 2008. A significant decline happened in Japan a bit earlier, in the 1990s. This recession period lasted from 1991 to 2002, and the period is now commonly known as the Lost Decade.
Why Did The Lost Decade Happen?
The main reason can be found in a significant fall in the financial markets. This was then followed by the fall of the real economy which caused a severe economic crisis. In the economic bubble of the 80s, banks were loaning more and more money and did not pay close attention to the client’s capability to pay them back. Ultimately, this state of affairs could not keep up, and the economic system collapsed.
How Did It Happen?
When the Bank of Japan raised the inter-banking lending rate to stabilize the market filled with bad loans, the unrealistic economic situation began bursting. As property and stock prices both fell, assets of companies and banks were now worth less than their liabilities.
Low to no equity and decreasing value of assets meant that financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies were in debt, including major national banks.
The economy crashed
, and financial institutions were facing serious losses. Because real estate prices plummeted, stock prices were falling rapidly, and bad loans became a burden on the whole system.
The term “Lost Decade for Stocks”
Refers to the 10-year period from 12/31/1999 through 12/31/2009, when the S&P 500® generated an annualized total return of -0.9% over the period. This was only the second time that the market actually had a negative total return over a decade period. The other period was the Great Depression decade of the 1930s.
After four decades of incredible performance, the stock market could be at the beginning of a lost decade. Yes, the S&P 500 has dropped 2.5% on Friday, and is down 23% in 2022.
But it’s impossible to overstate just how good stock market returns have been for investors over the last 40 years—and for even longer. From the
S&P 500’s
low of 102.20 in 1982 through its peak of 4818.62 in January 2022, the index returned 12.9% annually including reinvested dividends. That’s slightly above
the average of 11.8% going back to 1928
.
But the stock market goes through “lost decades,” periods where returns are hard to come by. The most recent occurred from the dot-com peak in 2000 through 2013, when the stock market finally broke out in a meaningful way. Before that, the stock market remained mired in a decade-plus trading range from 1968 through 1982, when the S&P 500 returned just 4% annualized including reinvested dividends.
There’s reason to think a similar period of sideways trading could emerge out of today’s market chaos. Société Générale’s Albert Edwards has been
singing the same tune
for a long time about the end of what he calls the “Ice Age,” a period of “secular stagnation” that left yields low and boosted asset prices. But now, he looks like he may be right. Instead of printing money and cutting rates to boost the economy, central banks will now have to deal with governments that seem more willing to spend than ever, bringing “higher growth, higher inflation, and higher interest rates across the curve,” he writes.
“The party for investors is over. The Great Melt won’t only melt the ‘Ice’ in
‘Ice Age’, but investor returns are set to melt away too.”
If Edwards is correct, it will come as a shock to investors who are used to stocks going up most of the time, and a Fed that always had the market’s back. It will also require more than a simple buy-the-S&P-500-and-hold strategy. Stiefel strategist Barry Bannister has argued that investors
will need to be more tactical
, buying when the market is weak and selling when it is strong. Dividends, too, will be far more important. It’s one reason the S&P 500 could lose 5.7% from its 1968 high through its 1982 low and investors could still emerge with a positive return, at least before adjusting for inflation. Investors have been spoiled for a while. Now we’ll have to work for our money.
Everything old is new again
There are indeed similarities between today and what occurred 50 years ago, conditions that led to the Great Inflation of the 1970s, such as: Massive government deficit spending to finance the Great Society and the Vietnam War.
President Nixon taking the U.S. dollar off the gold standard.
Shocks to the economy from the OPEC oil embargo.
Federal Reserve easy money policies.
Compare that with today.
The Federal Reserve has been at the center of a near-zero-percent interest rate environment since the Great Recession. The government’s budget deficit of $2.8 trillion
in 2021 was the second largest on record.
The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in early 2021 is often cited as particularly responsible for the inflation we’re experiencing today, and the war in Ukraine is
exacerbating the rise in oil prices
that were already going up long
before Russian troops entered the country.
We’re also suffering from holdovers from the pandemic, such as supply chain disruptions that are still causing havoc even as much of the world increasingly views COVID-19 as being in the rearview mirror.
The same, but different IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.
Despite the similarities, there are some differences. For example, supply chain shortages are starting to ease, though the effects will continue to linger.
Moreover, the oil situation is actually much different than what it was back then.
The International Money Fund says the 1970s’ “global oil intensity,” or the number of barrels needed to produce $1 million in gross domestic product, was well over 800 barrels, around 3.5 times greater than today.
And where oil prices that recently topped $120 per barrel helped produce gasoline prices north of $5 per gallon at the pump, the increase doesn’t have the same economic impact as it did when oil went from $3 a barrel in 1970 to over $10 four years later, before quadrupling in price again by the end of the decade.
We’re just not as dependent on oil today as we were, and while oil is still a key economic sector, it’s not enough to wreak havoc on the economy in the same way.
It’s also worth noting that the stock market, though down year to date, is still up 18% since the beginning of the 2020s. That includes the dramatic 34% decline witnessed at the onset of the pandemic.

Working Toward a Resolution: IMF and Central Bank Involvement
The Origins of the Debt Crisis
Lessons Learned
Latin American Debt Crisis of the 1980s. 1982–1989
During the 1980s—a period often referred to as the “lost decade”—many Latin American countries were unable to service their foreign debt.
During the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s—a period often referred to as the “lost decade”—many Latin American countries became unable to service their foreign debt. The Federal Reserve and other international institutions responded to the crisis with a number of actions that ultimately helped alleviate the situation, albeit with some unintended consequences.
The Origins of the Debt Crisis
During the 1970s, two large oil price shocks created current account deficits in many Latin American countries. At the same time, these shocks created current account surpluses among oil-exporting countries. With the encouragement of the US government, large US money-center banks were willing intermediaries between the two groups, providing the exporting countries with a safe, liquid place for their funds and then lending those funds to Latin America (FDIC 1997).
1
Latin American borrowing from US commercial banks and other creditors increased dramatically during the 1970s. At the end of 1970, total outstanding debt from all sources totaled only $29 billion, but by the end of 1978, that number had skyrocketed to $159 billion. By 1982, the debt level reached $327 billion (FDIC 1997).
The potential risk of the growing involvement of US banks in Latin American and other less-developed country (LDC) debt didn’t go unnoticed. In 1977, during a speech at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business, then-Fed Chairman
Arthur Burns
criticized commercial banks for assuming excessive risk in their Third World lending (FDIC 1997). Still, by 1982, the nine largest US money-center banks held Latin American debt amounting to 176 percent of their capital; their total LDC debt was nearly 290 percent of capital (Sachs 1988).
The near-zero real rates of interest on short-term loans along with world economic expansion made this situation tenable in the early part of the 1970s. By late in the decade, however, the priority of the industrialized world was lowering inflation, which led
to a tightening of monetary policy in the United States
and Europe. Nominal interest rates rose globally, and in 1981 the world economy entered a recession. At the same time, commercial banks began to shorten re-payment periods and charge higher interest rates for loans. The Latin American countries soon found their debt burdens unsustainable (Devlin and Ffrench-Davis 1995).
The spark for the crisis occurred in August 1982, when Mexican Finance Minister Jesús Silva Herzog informed the Federal Reserve chairman, the US Treasury secretary, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director that Mexico would no longer be able to service its debt, which at that point totaled $80 billion. Other countries quickly followed suit. Ultimately, sixteen Latin American countries rescheduled their debts, as well as eleven LDCs in other parts of the world (FDIC 1997).
In response, many banks stopped new overseas lending and tried to collect on and restructure existing loan portfolios. The abrupt cut-off in bank financing plunged many Latin American countries into deep recession and laid bare the shortcomings of previous economic policies, described by former Federal Reserve Governor
Roger W. Ferguson, Jr.
as based on “high domestic consumption, heavy borrowing from abroad, unsustainable currency levels, and excessive intervention by government into the economy” (Ferguson 1999).
Working Toward a Resolution: IMF and Central Bank Involvement.
As transcripts from the July 1982 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting illustrate, committee members felt it was necessary to take action (FOMC 1982). In August, the Fed convened an emergency meeting of central bankers from around the world to provide a bridge loan to Mexico. Fed officials also encouraged US banks to participate in a program to reschedule Mexico’s loans (Aggarwal 2000).
As the crisis spread beyond Mexico,
the United States took the lead in organizing an “international lender of last resort,”
a cooperative rescue effort among commercial banks, central banks, and the IMF.
Under the program, commercial banks agreed to restructure the countries’ debt, and the IMF and other official agencies lent the LDCs sufficient funds to pay the interest, but not principal, on their loans. In return, the LDCs agreed to undertake structural reforms of their economies and to eliminate budget deficits. The hope was that these reforms would enable the LDCs to increase exports and generate the trade surpluses and dollars necessary to pay down their external debt (Devlin and Ffrench-Davis 1995).
Although this program averted an immediate crisis, it allowed the problem to fester. Instead of eliminating subsidies to state-owned enterprises, many LDC countries instead cut spending on infrastructure, health, and education, and froze wages or laid off state employees. The result was high unemployment, steep declines in per capita income, and stagnant or negative growth—hence the term the “lost decade” (Carrasco 1999).
US banking regulators allowed lenders to delay recognizing the full extent of the losses on LDC lending in their loan loss provisions. This forbearance reflected a belief that had the losses been fully recognized, the banks would have been deemed insolvent and faced increased funding costs. After several years of negotiations with the debtor countries, however, it became clear that most of the loans would not be repaid, and banks began to establish loan loss provisions for their LDC debt. The first was Citibank, which in 1987 established a $3.3 billion loss provision, more than 30 percent of its total LDC exposure. Other banks quickly followed Citibank’s example (FDIC 1997).
By 1989, it was also clear to the US government that the debtor nations could not repay their loans, at least not while also rekindling economic growth. Secretary of the Treasury Nicholas Brady thus proposed a plan that established permanent reductions in loan principal and existing debt-servicing obligations.
Between 1989 and 1994, private lenders forgave $61 billion in loans, about one third of the total outstanding debt. In exchange, the eighteen countries that signed on to the Brady plan agreed to domestic economic reforms that would enable them to service their remaining debt (FDIC 1997). Still, it would be years before the scars of the 1980s began to fade.
Lessons Learned
Despite the many warning signs that the LDCs’ debt level was unsustainable and that
US banks were overexposed to that debt, market participants did not seem to recognize the problem until it had already erupted. The result was a crisis that required a decade of negotiations and multiple attempts at debt rescheduling to resolve, at considerable cost
to the citizens of Latin America and other LDC countries.
In the United States, the chief concern was the soundness and solvency of the financial system. To that end, regulators weakened regulatory standards for large banks exposed
to LDC debt to prevent them from becoming insolvent.
On one hand, this regulatory forbearance was effective at forestalling a panic.
On the other hand, forbearance allowed large banks to avoid the consequences of their prior lending decisions (albeit decisions that were to some extent officially encouraged
in the mid-1970s). But allowing those institutions to delay the recognition of losses set a precedent that may have weakened market discipline and encouraged excess risk-taking
in subsequent decades.

Here is the story of James McCraw, a 7-year survivor of a glioblastoma.
The C Word – Videos
Cancer is no laughing matter – but the archaic way we are beating it, is! With a dose
of good humor, heart, and a touch of rock-n’-roll beat, THE C WORD reveals the forces
at play keeping us sick and dares to ask: if up to 70% of cancer deaths are preventable…
what are we waiting for? And, in asking the question, director Meghan L. O’Hara
reveals astounding truths that no one is talking about on a grand scale — until now.
At its heart are powerful, twin stories: one from celebrated French neuroscientist and cancer revolutionary Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, the other from THE C WORD’s own director, and cancer survivor Meghan L. O’Hara.
After braving the journey from diagnosis to wellness, Meghan and David join forces
on a wild ride of discovery; including hidden science, the absurdity of the status quo,
and a vibrant cast of characters changing the game.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, THE C WORD message is simple,
lifechanging, radical: we can beat cancer before cancer beats us.
It all started in July 2013. It was a strange Monday, in the evening James goes out for dinner and as soon as he has ordered he feels strange, his head continues to stretch to
the right and he cannot speak. He had never felt this way. A waitress noticed that he was having an epileptic attack. Then the attack passed.
James got in the car but decided together with his girlfriend to go to the hospital and as soon as he entered the emergency room, he had another seizure. So, they decided to do a resonance that revealed the presence of a brain tumor.
The surgery was scheduled for August 13th. The operation was conducted with the semi awake patient. James was released on August 16th. Rehabilitation began in September. The oncologist informed James that he would be lucky to live 9 months after the diagnosis.
On 12 September chemotherapy with Temodar began and on 18th radiotherapy. The whole thing lasted for 45 days. Soon James failed in financial problems due to the high treatment costs and then he issue the request for the recognition of his disability and Obamacare.
James had to learn to speak again. Even memory had some problems and also the concept of time and mathematics. With language, the biggest problem was finding words. Some problems still persist today.
Prior to glioblastoma, James had a normal life, a transportation company, and earned around $ 100,000 a year. By chance James entered a site that talked about using garlic to fight glioblastoma. In fact, it appears that the garlic is able to pass the blood brain barrier and to fight the stem cells of the tumor. James then begins to take two cloves of raw garlic a day after peeling it and leaving it in the air for a few minutes. James remained tumor-free until December 2015 when the tumor returned.
James’s oncologist was thinking about a new surgery and chemotherapy but decided
to consult a specialist who decided to wait another three months before making a new resonance. James attributes the cause of the recurrence to the fact that he had gone from raw garlic to garlic in tablets for a few months so he decided to return to raw garlic and started looking for other natural methods to combat glioblastoma.
He added Curcumin, Ginger, Cayenne pepper, Boswellia, Black Seed Oil to his diet.
Every day James took 8g to 12g of curcumin (about 3 tbsp. Tea) with a pinch of black pepper so that curcumin can get through the liver. Curcumin also appears to pass the blood brain barrier and to be capable of attacking the stems of glioblastoma.
After 3 months the tumor was gone.
Since James had not done any treatment other than this diet he attributed the result to
the diet. Normally glioblastoma, especially if it is a recurrence does not go away on its own,
on the contrary, it is normally much more aggressive.
Having heard that sugar and carbohydrates feed the tumor, James decided to remove these from his diet. James’s diet also abounds in broccoli, black beans, avocado, ginger, cayenne pepper, almond milk, and other foods that are supposed to exercise an anti-cancer function.
A full 7 years have passed and James is fine.
Resonances show no signs of his tumor. We don’t know exactly why: James may
have been just lucky, he may have to survive anyway. What we know is that he had
a grade IV glioblastoma multiforme and that together with traditional therapy i.e.
The Stupp protocol he took and continues to take is a spices-based diet every day,
in particular he takes raw garlic, curcumin (3% of turmeric), ginger, Boswellia and
black seed oil.
The important thing though is that James managed to defeat the Terminator!
This is the Curcumin I am now taking. It has Curcumin, Black Seed Oil and Ginger
Amazon.com: Smarter Nutrition Curcumin Softgels – Potent & Bioavailable, Active Curcumin Standardized to 95% Tetrahydrocurcuminoids with AstraGin Black Cumin
Seed Oil & Ginger (60 Count (Pack of 1) : Health & Household
Conversion for Curcumin – 8-12 grams of Curcumin if you are battling cancer. 8 grams = 16 capsules = about 4 teaspoons (Curcumin is 3-5% of Turmeric) it is the cancer fighter.
You cannot do enough Turmeric to fight cancer.
James maintains a blog (
GBM13
) and has written the book.

than to just write a couple of paragraphs. I get asked what my “protocol” is every single day. It is not my protocol. I would be doing you a huge injustice.
I will tell you how I did it, why I did it, how much to do, and the back-up. I tell you what my cooking oils are and what to stay away from.I also tell you what to not eat if you want to be cancer free. I later found out about Melatonin, IP-6 and everyone’s favorite Cannabis Oil, I have never taken Cannabis Oil, but I know it kills the Cancer Stem Cells.
I tell you my mentors: Bharat B. Aggarwal PhD, Bradford Weeks PhD, and Max Wicha PhD. A brief history of me starting when I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4 on July 22, 2013. I will give you a few recipes.
I think Bharat Aggarwal is a genius and I give him credit for saving my life.
I don’t know what happened at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
I have tried to email him to thank him. I can only assume but I think he was let go
because he was about to blow the entire cancer research industry out of the water.
He was on a Podcast called ‘Power Hour’ and he said cancer is all about inflammation.
If you control your inflammation, you control cancer.
He was one of the first to say everyone has cancer.
You can’t find a cure if everyone has cancer. The lady hosting the show said aren’t you going get in trouble for being so honest in this interview?” This is the last interview
that I heard from Bharat.

Bharat B. Aggarwal PhD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bharat B. Aggarwal PhD From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia – Search (bing.com)
Bharat B. Aggarwal is an Indian American biochemist. His research has been in the areas of cytokines, the role of inflammation in cancer, and the anti-cancer effects of spices and herbs, particularly those of curcumin (a chemical constituent of the spice turmeric).
He was a professor in the Department of Clinical Immunology, Bio immunotherapy,
and Experimental Therapeutics at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, a position from which he retired in 2015 following allegations of fraud in his research.
He was formerly with M.D Anderson in Houston. Tx. He did not see eye to eye with a lot of the M.D Anderson staff. He is retired now. I think he was ahead of his time. He saved my life. He started looking at different cancers and he noticed that all cancers had one thing in common.
There was inflammation in all the cancers he saw.
He also said it was a chronic disease and not a disease that can be cured.
He is probably the first one to notice this. He is of the opinion that cancer is caused by inflammation. The same as Diabetes, Arthritis, Psoriasis, Alzheimer’s. If you can control inflammation, you can control all these diseases.
I start ed eating foods that were anti-inflammatory. He was big on Curcumin. A byproduct of Turmeric. Turmeric only has about 4-5% of Curcumin. He also said everyone has cancer cells in their bodies. In some people it becomes a problem. That is another reason there is no cure for cancer. Bharat, as far as I know, never mentioned Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) As it turned out, everything I was eating was anti-inflammatory and killed the Cancer Stem Cells (CSC),
In 2012, MD Anderson launched a review of Aggarwal’s research after the federal government notified them of allegations of fraud by academic whistleblowers in as many as 65 of Aggarwal’s published papers, one of which had been retracted by the journal that published it. Several more of Aggarwal’s publications were subsequently retracted after they were found to contain data images that had been reused and manipulated to represent different results. Aggarwal resigned from his position at MD Anderson at the end of 2015. By August 2016, eighteen research articles published by Aggarwal (in seven scientific journals) had been retracted.
I think the above ordeal was to discredit Doctor Aggarwal. The Cancer Industry (Big Pharma) is not going to sit back and let the Cancer Industry implode. There is a lot of money at stake and Aggarwal is telling people to watch their inflammation. He retired at the end of 2015. As of today, he is still fighting cancer and I am going 7 years in July 2020 being cancer free with a Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4 cancer.
What Are Cancer Stem Cells?
They influence how a tumor grows

What Are Cancer Stem Cells? (verywellhealth.com)
Cancer stem cells are a small subpopulation of cells found within tumors that are tumorigenic, meaning they can create a cancerous tumor. Self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into diverse cell types are hallmark features of cancer stem cells. They can reproduce themselves and sustain cancer in the body. They are therefore hypothesized to be the primary driver of cancer growth and metastasis. This is called the stem cell theory of cancer. Effective cancer treatment then must target and attack these cells.
Doing so can improve the chances of cancer remission.
Cancer stem cells have been identified in brain, breast, colon, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate tumors, as well as in melanoma, multiple myeloma, nonmelanoma skin cancer, and leukemia. Cancer stem cell research is ongoing, and new studies are emerging frequently.
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are undifferentiated (or only partly differentiated) human cells that can turn into different types of cells in the body, from nerve cells (neurons) to brain cells. They can also fix damaged tissues. They must possess two major qualities: self-renewal and the capacity to differentiate. Stem cell-based therapies are also being studied to treat serious illnesses such as paralysis and Alzheimer’s disease.
There are two types of stem cells: embryonic and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells come from unused embryos and are created from an in vitro fertilization process. They are pluripotent, meaning they can turn into more than one cell type. Within adult stem cells, there are two different types: one type comes from fully developed tissues such as the brain, skin, and bone marrow, and the other is induced pluripotent stem cells, which have been changed in the lab to be more like embryonic stem cells.
Where Do Stem Cells Come From?
What Are Cancer Stem Cells?
The stem cell theory of cancer hypothesizes that cancer stem cells are thought to drive tumor initiation and may be responsible for therapeutic resistance and cancer recurrence.
Like many areas of biomedical research, cancer stem cells are an evolving field of study. Multiple studies have indicated that insufficient evidence exists to confirm the existence of cancer stem cells. A review of 1,000 Web of Science publications revealed that only 49% supported the cancer stem cell hypothesis.
Cell surface markers can be used to identify cancer stem cells, as has been done in research that supports the hypothesis that these stem cells do not respond to traditional therapies such as chemotherapy. This research also supports the idea that cancer stem cells are the source of cancer metastasis.
Like all stem cells, cancer cells must have the following characteristics:
Self-renewal: When stem cells divide into more stem cells, this process is referred to as cell renewal. Cell differentiation: is when a cell changes from a less differentiated to a more differentiated cell type.
Cancer Cells Versus Normal Cells
Role in Cancer Growth
Cancer stem cells use specific signaling pathways.It is hypothesized that cancer stem cells can also act as a reservoir of cancer cells, which may cause a relapse after surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy has eliminated all observable signs of cancer. Targeting these cells would thus highly improve the chances of a patient’s remission if cancer stem cells are the origin of the tumor.
Why Do Some Cancers Come Back?
Resistance to Therapy
Cancer stem cells have the capacity to change into more specialized cell types, so they can potentially lead to tumor cell heterogeneity.8 Due to this quality, they are cited as a major factor of chemoresistance.9 Their highly resistant nature can lead to tumors metastasizing and tumor regrowth.10 As such, the developing research on cancer stem cells could dramatically change the prognosis of multiple cancer types.
Also, many new anticancer therapies are evaluated based on their ability to shrink tumors, but if the therapies are not killing the cancer stem cells, the tumor will soon grow back, often with resistance to the previously used therapy.
Importance of Cancer Stem Cell Research
Cancer stem cell research is critical because it addresses the potential root cause of cancer proliferation and can lead to the development of more effective and safer treatments. Treatments targeting cancer stem cells will likely have fewer side effects compared with existing options because they will leave other kinds of cells untouched.
Understanding these cells can also help modify current treatments for maximum effect. Research has shown that cancer stem cells are resistant to the ionizing radiation used to treat cancer. Understanding this resistance may in the future help researchers find compounds that undermine this process and make cancer stem cells vulnerable to radiation damage.
What Are Stem Cells?
A Word From Verywell
Cancer stem cell research offers promising hope for the continually evolving field of cancer therapeutics, but more research needs to be done to confirm the stem cell theory of cancer. Cancer stem cell research has the potential to generate better treatments for cancer with fewer side effects, as well as to improve the efficacy of current treatment options. If the theory is proven, therapies targeting cancer stem cells may even be able to lower the rate of cancer recurrence. While its existence is still up for debate, it represents an exciting opportunity to advance cancer care and improve cancer survival.

protocol, one thing about this protocol is he tells you what to eat and what not to and this Actually makes me understand that what we eat really affects how we respond to our treatment.
The stem cell theory of cancer proposes that among the many different types of cells within a cancer, there exists a subpopulation of cells called cancer stem cells that multiply indefinitely, are resistant to chemotherapy, and are thought to be responsible for relapse after therapy. Cancer stem cells also give rise to highly metastatic cells that spread to other organs and tissues within the body. A deeper understanding of cancer stem cells is leading to better implementation of existing anti-cancer therapies and identification of new approaches that target the cancer stem cells specifically.

What is important for people to know, and Chris is the tumor is not the target the Cancer Stem Cells are the target. I agree that a needle biopsy makes metastasize, but tumor is there too help you. It keeps the bad stuff inside. It is like Pandora’s Box. The Cancer Stem Cells are the target, and they are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation.

If I had known then what I know now, I would not have surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. I would not be disabled. I am a 10+ year survivor of a brain tumor, Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4. I have been researching cancer since 2014. The Doctors either do not know or are greedy. I think it is greed. All you must do is beat the CANCER STEM CELLS. You beat cancer with an anti-inflammatory diet. Do not worry about the tumor, the tumor is to save your life. It is a container to keep the harmful stuff in. It is like Pandora’s Box. The tumor is not the problem. It is the Cancer Stem Cells that are the problem. Cancer Stem Cells are resistant to
chemotherapy and radiation
. If you do chemotherapy and radiation the cancer is to come back with a vengeance. It may take about 5+ years but the cancer is coming back. Cancer stem cells were first identified by John Dick in acute myeloid leukemia in the late 1990s. Since the early 2000s they have been an intense cancer research focus.
The Doctor’s must be aware of the Cancer Stem Cells.
I think cancer victims are being lied to. We are being played. We are being treated like guinea pigs. It is all about greed, Is it greed? corruption? How could a medical doctor ignore these facts just to make a profit? The Cancer Society is worth a gazillion dollars.
If they were to tell the truth the Cancer Society and Big Pharma would be worthless.
Why would a brain cancer, Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4, have access to the following and the Doctors, Oncologists, the Media do not? Pub Med is where the doctors and the rest of the medical professionals go. Some of the followings were printed in 2012.

Cancer stem cells, cancer cell plasticity and radiation therapy

Free PMC article
Abstract
Since the first prospective identification of cancer stem cells in solid cancers the cancer stem cell hypothesis has reemerged as a research topic of increasing interest. It postulates that solid cancers are organized hierarchically with a small number of cancer stem cells driving tumor growth, repopulation after injury and metastasis. They give rise to differentiated progeny, which lack these features. The model predicts that for any therapy to provide cure, all cancer stem cells have to be eliminated while the survival of differentiated progeny is less critical. In this review we discuss recent reports challenging the idea of a unidirectional differentiation of cancer cells. These reports provide evidence supporting the idea that non-stem cancer cells exhibit a remarkable degree of plasticity that allows them to re-acquire cancer stem cell traits, especially in the context of radiation therapy. We summarize conditions under which differentiation is reversed and discuss the current knowledge of the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Recently it is considered that there is a small population of cells with stem cell property not only in leukemia but also in solid cancer. These cells show the ability of self-renewal and multi-potential differentiation and can initiate and maintain a tumor. The origin of cancer stem cells might be their normal stem cells, progenitor cells, or bone marrow-derived cells.
It is still difficult to isolate cancer stem cells in solid cancer. There are three possible methodologies to isolate or identify cancer stem cells; the use of a surface marker, use of cells cultured in a specific condition (sphere), or the use of side population cells identified by FACS. The gold standard assay that fulfills the definition of cancer stem cell may be serial transplantation in animal models.
Cancer stem cells are likely to be responsible for disease relapse or metastasis, and also for resistance to radiation or conventional chemotherapy. The stem cell niche plays an important role on maintaining cancer stem cells. Novel promising therapies against cancer stem cells are considered, including antibody-based therapy, signal inhibitors, overcoming radiation and drug resistance, or differentiation therapy. Another interesting therapy targeting the niche may also be considered.reserved.

Çığır Biray Avcı
Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprise the subpopulation of tumor bulk and acquire resistant to conventional therapies and are considered as the primary tumor initiator cells. Nowadays, the tumor heterogeneity originated from CSCs, and its progenitors are accepted as a mortifying drawback in front of cancer therapies. However, escalating knowledge gained from studies investigating the biology of CSCs will open up new frames for targeted therapies and decrease the chance of recurrence of the disease. In this review, the general understanding of CSCs and current studies were discussed briefly. Considering the latest data collected from studies of CSCs, defining the tumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment comprehensively will be very important to step up the cancer research.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells within tumors with capabilities of self-renewal, differentiation, and tumorigenicity when transplanted into an animal host. A number of cell surface markers such as CD44, CD24, and CD133 are often used to identify and enrich CSCs. A regulatory network consisting of microRNAs and Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog signaling pathways controls CSC properties. The clinical relevance of CSCs has been strengthened by emerging evidence, demonstrating that CSCs are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatment and that CSCs are very likely to be the origin of cancer metastasis. CSCs are believed to be an important target for novel anti-cancer drug discovery. Herein we summarize the current understanding of CSCs, with a focus on the role of miRNA and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and discuss the clinical application of targeting CSCs for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background
Nowadays, we believe that cancer is a genetic disease. We focus on the genetic targets and epigenetic changes in a tumor. Remarkably, many crucial signal pathways in a malignant cell involve “stem-ness” genes. The prevalence of stem-ness in cancer suggests that cancer has a stem-cell origin and is a stem-cell disease.
Presentation of the hypothesis
The observation that many innate stem-ness properties are easily interchangeable with malignant hallmarks needs to be further elucidated. There appears to be a malignant potential in every stem cell and a stem cell potential in every malignant cell.
I hypothesize that cancer is a stem-cell disease rather than a genetic disease.
Testing the hypothesis
We will use homeobox genes to endow a certain progenitor cell with specific stem-ness properties and confer different stem-cell phenotypes to the particular cell type in a hierarchical manner. We will demonstrate that an earlier homeobox gene plus a genetic defect (such as Pten loss) tend to form a more virulent tumor, while a later homeobox gene plus the same genetic defect tend to express a more indolent phenotype. Importantly, we will show that in clinically relevant cancer subtypes, those with worse clinical outcomes may paradoxically harbor fewer genetic mutations than those with better outcomes do.
Implications of the hypothesis
The recognition that cancer is a stem-cell disease will instigate major paradigm shifts in our basic understanding of cancer. Many fundamental principles of oncology, such as multistep carcinogenesis, need to be reconciled. The realization that cancer is a stem-cell disease will also have profound clinical implications on personalized care.
Many aspects of our current clinical trials need to be reevaluated.

Abstract
Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the hematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programs, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine. Perhaps the most important and useful property of stem cells is that of self-renewal. Through this property, striking parallels can be found between stem cells and cancer cells: tumors may often originate from the transformation of normal stem cells, similar signaling pathways may regulate self-renewal in stem cells and cancer cells, and cancer cells may include ‘cancer stem cells’ – rare cells with indefinite potential for self-renewal that drive tumorigenesis.

Cancer is a chronic metabolic disease. Chronic diseases can be controlled, not cured. There is no cure for cancer. Cancer is like Diabetes, Alzheimer, Heart Disease, and various other chronic diseases. Unless they can find a cure for chronic diseases, they will not find a way to cure cancer.
Cancer Stem Cells
(CSCs) have recently been identified in several solid tumors, including: Brain, Breast, Colon, Head and Neck, Liver, Lung, Ovary, Pancreas, Prostate, Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Non-melanoma skin cancer, Stomach.
The only way to be cancer free is by killing the
Cancer Stem Cells
. The tumor has a small part that is called the Cancer Stem Cells (usually 1% – 5%), It is the target. Most Oncologists focus on the tumor. That is what they are taught by Big Pharma. It is not the Oncologist fault, they believe it.
If you do the traditional cancer therapy (SOC), chemotherapy and radiation your cancer is coming back. It might not be immediately, but it will come back with a vengeance.

The Cancer Stem Cells are resistance to chemotherapy and radiation. So you do what you want with chemotherapy and radiation you are not targeting the real villain, the real culprit. The 3rd thing is if you don’t the Cancer Stem Cells your cancer is coming back because those are the ones that can recreate a cancer…..If you going to your Oncologist aak what are going to do to help me healthy while you kill my tumor…. Because that is can do…the current Oncologist are only killing tumors…the way do that is anti-inflammatory”

“People need to understand that a tumor is there to save your life. When your body is full with poison, and you are basically going to die of that poison – your body builds a bag and collects all the poison from your body into this bag, which they call a tumor. So the body did all work. And now they come and they say “we need to do a needle biopsy” and pinch into this highly toxic tumor, which of course now explodes and pours all the poison into the body. And then they say “You have a very fast growing, very aggressive form of cancer.” They GAVE it to you. They created it.” – I don’t know who wrote this.

This is wonderful information. I’m a 14-month [so far] survivor of fourth stage Glio, following a nasty bout of chemo/radiation. I’ve been taking 444 mg of Fenbendazole mixed with yogurt and my MRIs and blood work are just fine. But what you gave
here is another weapon in the arsenal.

That is amazing, how long have you been taking the Fenbendazole?
Do you have any side effects from taking this large of a dose?

Kill the Cancer Stem Cells…That is the only way to kill Cancer. The Cancer Stem Cells about 1% of the tumor. The tumor is not going to kill you. It is metastasis that is going to kill you. Chemotherapy and radiation does NOT kill the Cancer Stem Cells. Chemotherapy and radiation aggravates the cancer causing the cancer to metastasize. I beat my cancer at the grocery store. Cancer Stem Cells(CSCs) have recently been identified in several solid tumors, including: Brain, Breast, Colon, Head and Neck, Liver, Lung, Ovary, Pancreas, Prostate, Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Non-melanoma skin cancer, Stomach

Hi dear James. İ have already found you. My wife is glioblastoma grade iv.
We operate on 15 02.2021. We will start radiotherapy on 08.02.2021.
I know that if I go only RT and chemotherapy, we have approx. 15 month.
But you win the war of this tumor. İ want to learn your treatment details.
*2 garlic per day to fight GBM.
* when we are on radio therapy and CT.“we want to add Curcumin, Ginger, Cayenne pepper, Boswellia, Black Seed Oil to my wife’s diet. Every day I want to take 8g to 12g
of curcumin (about 3 tbsp. Tea) with a pinch of black pepper so that curcumin can get through the liver. Curcumin appears to pass the blood brain barrier and to be capable
of attacking the stems of glioblastoma.” As you said.
What can you advise me on?
Thanks in advance.

Take 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic, smash it, grind it and 15 minutes, a chemical reaction
needs to take place. If you cook with it, put it last. The more you cook it the weaker it
gets….never do chemotherapy or radiation

This is what I put on Facebook…Does God cure cancer? I don’t believe God cures cancer. God will show you the way to beat cancer, but he will not “cure” cancer.
There are many kids that have cancer. Before I discovered garlic, I was watching the Jim Valvano basketball tournament. It was a cancer benefit and is called the “V” Foundation for Cancer Research”. They would cut away to the kids who had cancer. Some of the kids had seizures non-stop or in so much pain. I was literally balling. It was the most horrible sight you could possibly imagine. The poor kids were suffering so much. I made up my mind to research cancer. God loves everyone. God is not that cruel. He showed me how to beat cancer and I believe all cancer, not just brain tumors. There were too many coincidences for me to believe that God was not leading the way. You must open your eyes and know that God is guiding the way.
I met a lot of people with cancer. I knew two that died and another one that is making current videos. They both said they left it in God’s hands instead of watching for God to glue them on how to beat cancer. You must watch for signs. God is not going to beat cancer for anyone. You must look for the signs.
It is all choices you make and God’s will. The two I was talking about used the standard treatment of care (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation)
. Killing the Cancer Stem Cells is the way to becoming cancer free

I think the Doctors in that case the Doctors are playing God with the way they are treating cancer. God would not use chemotherapy and radiating to beat cancer. God would use natural products that God created.
I moved from Memphis to Collierville for no other reason but safety. I have to go to Memphis because my family is there. There are 3 ways I can go. The interstate is faster but is more dangerous than going down Poplar. There are 2 different ways you can go on the interstate, you can go left or right. If you go left, there is a far more danger that you will not make it then if you go right. There is a saying if you go to Memphis, carry a gun.
That does not mean that you are going to live long. But you have choices.

I was living in Downtown Dallas.
I walked past this place numerous times and rode the light rail past it and I used to go to workout right next to it. I walked to the post office before I went to see my mom with Pancreatic Cancer. I came back a different way and I found out It was a Cancer Park. I thought it was because my mother was going to survive. I found out later that it was because I had cancer. Later I found two different Cancer Parks identical to the one in Dallas. One in Memphis and the other in New Orleans. I found them accidentally.
Pennies from Heaven, that is what I called it whenever I would find a penny. I was thinking it was my mom. I would find pennies in the most obscure places. I was driving for Lyft and Uber. One day my engine went out. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I could not buy another car. My mechanic did not think he would find another engine. I had about a 5 mile walk to my apartment. Overton Park was about halfway to my apartment. I stopped to rest and sat down by the statue of E.H Crump. I was worried about what I would do with no car. I found a penny in the crevice of the statue. The next day my mechanic found an engine. This happened all the time.
I was desperate. I was thinking about trying Cannabis Oil.
It was not easy to get in 2014. I would have to send money via Pay-Pay to Canada. I was on the internet looking for other ways to get Cannabis Oil. I typed in Cannabis Oil and midway down I discovered a website that said garlic will kill cancer and not hurt your normal cells. I did garlic for two years.
It wasn’t a coincidence that I went to the deli for a meeting about Lyft and I went on the wrong day. Chris Wark, whom I was not familiar with at the time, was doing a seminar on cancer on the night I went. I asked about garlic and Chris said absolutely. That made my day. All my family and friends thought I was crazy for doing garlic.
There were just too many things like that to think I was doing it alone. I think God is involved in my research. You can’t just pray it away. God does not work that way God is not that cruel. I believe in God. God helped me do this research and think God is the reason I wrote this book. I started out doing a Facebook page until I wrote this book. A lot of it is cut and paste from the research I did.

I love hearing stories about long term survival in these types of cancers, it gives me hope. I was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma grade IV in my spinal cord a few months ago. I had surgery on August 20th and I’m currently going through radiation and chemotherapy. I’m definitely adding these herbs and spices to my diet once I’m done with radiation.

Killing the Cancer Stem Cell is the only way to beat cancer The only way to be cancer free is by killing the Cancer Stem Cells. The tumor has a small part that is called the Cancer Stem Cells (usually 1% – 5%), It is the target. Most Oncologists focus on the tumor. That is what they are taught by Big Pharma. It is not the Oncologist fault, they believe it. If you do the traditional cancer therapy, chemotherapy and radiation your cancer is coming back. It might not be immediately, but it will come back.
If you kill the Cancer Stem Cells, it will degenerate.
If the cancer does not degenerate, then you can do things like fasting or a hyperbaric chamber or whatever else floats your boat. The only time you should use chemotherapy is when the tumor has gotten too big it has impeded on the other organs. Not everyone that has cancer will survive but the Cancer Stem Cells is the only way to be cancer free. Radiation and chemotherapy will give you some more time, but it will be hard on your body.

I saw that you took 8-12 g curcumin. I wonder if it was really so much curcumin or did you mean curcuma/turmeric powder? It is because there is only 5 % of curcumin in curcuma.

curcumin is the cancer fighter in turmeric. Curcumin is 3-5% of turmeric. If you are fighting cancer you need 8-10mg of curcumin and then you cut back. If you have cancer you need 8-12 grams of Curcumin for 3 months per day. The Curcumin Powder is very messy and hard to wipe up. I also use Jarrow Curcumin 95. 8 grams = 16 capsules = about 4 teaspoon

Hi James, I found your story very inspirational and am applying your message to my partner who was recently diagnosed with Grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme in December 2021. Can I just quickly ask what your view on Chemotherapy is? I only ask as Scott is three weeks into his Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy and will then do the 5/23 Chemotherapy session, I am hesitant as this might do more harm than good. We have been talking to each other about it and am considering not doing the 5/23 session and just going in hard with the food/diet that you have highlighted in the blog. Any information/suggestions/feedback will be great !! Thank you Sophorn

Dear Sophorn, I’m Roby, the father of Emanuele, you can find the story on this website. I’m the person who created this website and is maintaining it day by day. The protocol you are following is the first line therapy. It has proved in the years to offer the best survival in the average. Each single glioblastoma has its features. The glioblastoma of James was destroyed probably by his therapeutic approach or naturally by its immune system possibly empowered by the supplements taken by James. Other long term survivors followed other approaches. It is not sure anyhow that this approach will work for you partner. My suggestion is that you follow the standard of care and then, in parallel apply additional treatments, for example the ones used by James or any other treatment that you feel could work. Good luck.

Wow-10 cloves of garlic per day! Based on the photo James posted on Facebook of a 11/2 inch clove, I give my wife (diagnosed w/glio 6 mos ago) 10 grams of raw, minced garlic after 15 minutes with honey p/d (usually 2 -3 medium sized cloves). She is afraid to take more. She may take more if someone can convince her it is safe and give suggestions on how to take it. So, please tell me how that guy consumed the 10 cloves daily (average size or weight?) and if he had any side effects. Thank you.

Congratulations James,
I am a new GBM patient myself, 2 months since diagnosis. Beyond the diagnosis I am quite healthy. I have been eating clean for the past month since I found this site. I added omega 3, turkey tail mushrooms, vitamin D, green tea, removed most carbs, etc., and yes based on your post I am adding raw garlic to my list. I have to admit, I like the heat when I consume it and there are some studies on the effectiveness of garlic use against GBM.
I had one question on garlic, do you consume it with anything else or eat it on an empty stomach? My technique is just to cut it into pieces, wait 15 minutes and eat it with some cheese and a cracker and a relatively empty stomach.
Good luck to us both and thank you for sharing.

20 New Anticancer Rules – David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD
David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhDDavid Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD, is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, cofounder of Doctors Without Borders, and a 15-year brain cancer survivor.
He promotes certain environmental, dietary, and emotional adjustments one can make in one’s life in addition to, as a support for, traditional cancer treatments. He is the author of The Instinct to Heal and Anticancer: A New Way of Life. He regularly posts Anticancer research & insight on his Facebook Page.
Dr. David Servan has published a “Top 20 List” of what everyone should do to avoid cancer or slow it down if you have it.
FOOD RULES
Go retro: Your main course should be 80 percent vegetables, 20 percent animal protein, like it was in the old days. Opt for the opposite of the quarter-pounder topped with a token leaf of iceberg lettuce and an anemic tomato slice. Meat should be used sparingly for taste, as when it used to be scarce, and should not be the focus of the meal.
Mix and match your vegetables: Vary the vegetables you eat from one meal to the next, or mix them together – broccoli is an effective anticancer food, and is even more effective when combined with tomato sauce, onions or garlic. Get in the habit of adding onions, garlic or leeks to all your dishes as you cook.
Go organic: Choose organic foods whenever possible, but remember it’s always better to eat broccoli that’s been exposed to pesticide than to not eat broccoli at all (the same applies to any other anticancer vegetable).
Spice it up: Add turmeric (with black pepper) when cooking (delicious in salad dressings!). This yellow spice is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory agent.
Remember to add Mediterranean herbs to your food: thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary, marjoram, mint, etc. They don’t just add flavor, they can also help reduce the growth of cancer cells.
Skip the potato: Potatoes raise blood sugar, which can feed inflammation and cancer growth. They also contain high levels of pesticide residue (to the point that most potato farmers I know don’t eat their own grown potatoes).
Go fish: Eat fish two or three times a week – sardines, mackerel, and anchovies have less mercury and PCBs than bigger fish like tuna. Avoid swordfish and shark, which the FDA says pregnant women should not eat because they contain a high concentration of contaminants.
Remember not all eggs are created equal: Choose only omega-3 eggs, or don’t eat the yolks. Hens are now fed on mostly corn and soybeans, and their eggs contain 20 times more pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids than cell-growth regulating omega-3s.
Change your oil: Use only olive and canola oil in cooking and salad dressings.
Go through your kitchen cabinets and throw out your soybean, corn and sunflower oils. (And no, you can’t give them to your neighbors or your relatives… They’re much too rich in omega-6 fatty acids!)
Say “Brown is beautiful”: Eat your grains whole and mixed (wheat with oats, barley, spelt, flax, etc.) and favor organic whole grains when possible since pesticides tend to accumulate on whole grains. Avoid refined, white flour (used in bagels, muffins, sandwich bread, buns, etc.) whenever possible, and eat white pasta only al dente.
Keep sweets down to fruits: Cut down on sugar by avoiding sweetened sodas and fruit juices, and skipping dessert or replacing it with fruit (especially stone fruits and berries) after most meals. Read the labels carefully, and steer clear of products that list any type of sugar (including brown sugar, corn syrup, etc.) in the first three ingredients. If you have an incorrigible sweet tooth, try a few squares of dark chocolate containing more than 70% cocoa.
Go green: Instead of coffee or black tea, drink three cups of green tea per day. Use decaffeinated green tea if it gets you too wired. Regular consumption of green tea has been linked to a significant reduction in the risk for developing cancer. Make room for exceptions: What matters is what you do on a daily basis, not the occasional treat.
NON-FOOD RULES
Get physical: Make time to exercise, be it walking, dancing or running. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity at least 5 days a week. This can be as easy as just walking part of the way to the office, or the grocery store. A dog is often a better walking partner than an exercise buddy. Choose an activity you enjoy; if you’re having fun, you’re more likely to stick with it.
Let the sunshine in:
Try to get at least 20 minutes of daily sun exposure (torso, arms and legs) without sunscreen, preferably at noon in the summer (but take care to avoid sunburns!). This will boost your body’s natural production of Vitamin D. As an alternative: discuss the option of taking a Vitamin D3 supplement with your doctor.
Banish bad chemicals: Avoid exposure to common household contaminants. You should air our your dry-cleaning for two hours before storing or wearing it; use organic cleaning products (or wear gloves); don’t heat liquids or food in hard plastics; avoid cosmetics with parabens and phthalates; don’t use chemical pesticides in your house or garden; replace your scratched Teflon pans; filter your tap water (or used bottled water) if you live in a contaminated area; don’t keep your cell phone close to you when it is turned on.
Reach out (and touch someone!): Reach out to at least two friends for support (logistical and emotional) during times of stress, even if it’s through the internet. But if they’re within arms reach, go ahead and hug them, often!
Remember to breathe: Learn a basic breathing relaxation technique to let out some steam whenever you start to feel stressed.
Get involved: Find out how you can best give something back to your local community, then give it.
Cultivate happiness like a garden: Make sure you do one thing you love for yourself on most days (it doesn’t have to take long!).

This video was put out in 2016. It stated that 1 of 2 men and 1 out 3 women would get cancer. That was 2016!!!
Would you say that the number of cancer cases has gone down, stayed the same or got worse. I think the number of cancer cases is a lot worse.
This is the Curcumin I am now taking. It has Curcumin, Black Seed Oil and Ginger
Conversion for Curcumin – 8-12 grams of Curcumin if you are battling cancer. 8 grams = 16 capsules = about 4 teaspoons (Curcumin is 3-5% of Turmeric) it is the cancer fighter. You cannot do enough Turmeric to fight cancer.

I bought some dark chocolate today. “The optimal percentage of dark chocolate to choose is 70% or higher because it contains the most flavanols. The bitterness goes up as the percentage goes higher, but you can pair it with Greek yogurt and fruit if you would like to reduce the bitter taste.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) at a press conference with Republican House leadership on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023, in Washington. © Jack Gruber-USA TODAY
WASHINGTON − After newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., won the top job last month, he issued a warning to his colleagues about the nation’s debt, dubbing it the “greatest threat to our national security.”
“We have to get the country back on track,” Johnson said in his first speech after becoming speaker. “Now we know this is not going to be an easy task, and tough decisions have to be made, but the consequences if we don’t act now are unbearable.” But Social Security and Medicare advocates have been left questioning what Johnson’s speakership could mean for recipients of the services, particularly in the face of
another looming government shutdown.
Medicare is a government-sponsored health insurance
that covers more than 60 million older and disabled people. Under Social Security, workers pay taxes into the program,
and the money is
disbursed as monthly income.
Both programs face an uncertain future.
Though Social Security
still has funding it
can rely on,
it may be depleted as soon as 2033
, according to the Congressional Budget Office. And the Medicare Hospital Insurance Fund could
have only enough money
to pay full benefits until 2031. As Johnson settles in as speaker, it’s not clear whether he’ll try to make cuts to these services or reform them, which would make it harder for some Americans to receive their benefits.
Will Mike Johnson try to cut Social Security?
Johnson hasn’t publicly supported cuts to Social Security as House speaker.
6 Changes Coming to Social Security in 2024 and Who Could Be Affected Most.
But the Louisiana Republican has called for the creation of a bipartisan commission
to address America’s trillions of dollars of debt.
The push comes after Johnson served as the chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee from 2019 to 2021. During his tenure, the committee released a budget plan that urged Congress to adopt changes for Medicare and Social Security.
The goal, according to the plan, was “long-term solvency” for the program.
But included cuts to Medicare and Social Security. That doesn’t mean Johnson
will target the benefits. As speaker, Johnson represents all House Republicans,
from the most moderate to the most conservative.
His earlier views on Social Security and Medicare could take a back seat while he
serves as leader. Johnson told reporters last month that, as speaker, he did not want
to “predetermine” any policies.
What to know about Mike Johnson The New House Speaker – Search (bing.com)
“I think it needs to be an organic decision process that is made by very thoughtful people who have a passion about the issue and have expertise in the subject matter,” he said.
What about Medicare?
The new House speaker hasn’t said he would single out Medicare as a method of turning around the national debt. But the plan Johnson led from the Republican Study Committee called for providing “premium support.” That could mean Medicare enrollees would receive assistance from the federal government to simply offset the costs of their health insurance plans.
Social Security and Medicare would not be specifically targeted in a future debt commission, but they could be addressed, according to a source from Johnson’s
office who described the issue as “open to discussion,” just like any other policy.
Some of the reforms from Johnson’s plan from 2020 included
adjusting the retirement
age until it reaches 69, which would apply to those turning 62 in 2030 and beyond.
He has also supported
legislation
that would allow recipients to choose when they
receive their benefits, among other measures.
Most Americans balk at proposals that would cut Medicare or Social Security,
according
to a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
this year. Seventy-nine percent say they oppose reducing the size of Social Security benefits, and 67% are against raising monthly premiums for Medicare.
“Seniors could direct this payment to the Medicare plan of their choice offered on a regulated exchange that includes both private plans and traditional fee-for-service Medicare,” the 2020 plan reads.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy floated a similar proposal for a commission
to tackle the nation’s debt, but Democrats were wary of the idea, and it never became a reality. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have long viewed targeting Social Security, Medicare and other major benefits as a political mistake, alienating voters from coast to coast.

Delivers remarks as Republican House lawmakers gather on the Capitol steps after electing Johnson to the speakership in Washington on Oct. 25, 2023. Johnson was the fourth candidate nominated by the GOP for the role after Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out of the job on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023, in a move led by a group of hardline House conservatives.

Will Mike Johnson try to cut Social Security or Medicare? Where the new speaker stands
,
Rally Behind Massive Spending Cuts and Sealing the Border —and We the American
People Will Have Your Back…
An Elaborate Proposal
Force Biden Regime to Shut Down Its Own Government.
This government isn’t doing anything for America. Shut down this corrupt government!
Why isn’t the speaker focused on and pushing forward to protect Americans and this country. I feel he is dragging his feet. Why? He needs to step up or step aside ASAP.
Insist on the truth: The only way to end inflation is to end big spending. There is NO other way. Stop spending & printing money. Biden omics is split into huge spending and higher inflation, including the fraudulently named “inflation reduction act.” You may want to have public screenings of Milton Friedman video lectures explaining it all to Congress & the American people.
We do not have time for indecision or fear. Step up or get out of the way.
Sealing the border indefinitely & deporting the illegals will save more than budget cuts
in the long haul and save the country to boot! Close down the government unless they
Close the border ~ no funds for anything ~ nothing ~ nada ~ Zip.
@RepMikeJohnson
One trillion equals one million ~ million. Scary.
Shut it down! Close the border! No more money to Ukraine!
No more money to support ILLEGALS invading our country! Absolutely! Even those of us waiting with jobs on the line which are tied to funding approval agree—closing the border is America’s first priority!! Shutdown the government until the government shuts down the border!
How about the House Republicans having a get together and tell the Senate how we are NOT going to Allow the Senate NOT shut down the Government. You are not willing to listen to the way to approach this monstrous spending fiasco. That both sides have allowed to take root in Washington.
Get some backbone Republicans in the House and stop this madness of wasteful spending. Congress is “occupied” by “babies” requiring constant care and attention. Their only hope is adult supervision with the discipline and foresight necessary for change.
The only way to lose weight is to diet.
The only way to reduce a bloated Federal budget is to cut spending.
So easy even a child could understand this concept. But then, it is plain to see,
Sharpen that “number” two “pencil”; we have a lot of work to do!
If the Senate Democrats and some Republicans say shutting down the Government
is a bad thing and people won’t get paid, that is a lie out of Satan’s book. Most of them
in Washington could still — get their pay from other Nations, while closing down the Government. May GOD show them the error of their ways. To those stubborn-stuffed necks, now it is time to act as we will be amazed at what GOD will do on our behalf through the power of prayer.
Simple solution is don’t fund it. In fact they aren’t funding shit.
They’re taking our money to pay the bills and it’s been out of control.
This government is shit. Wasteful useless shit. And now they’re tyrannical as well and attacking Americans like we’re the enemy. It’s disgusting, disgraceful and it needs to end. Not tomorrow or next week. It needs to end now.
I’ve been hearing some very disturbing things lately.
I have been hearing the news about military age men coming across the border.
Something is about to happen with Whatever the house comes up with, the senate
and Chuck Schumer “will not” give the MAGA Republicans that lead in the house or
any semblance of a win as they know that the national media will be on their side
and they will bash republicans unmercifully!
These Rino republicans need to grow some balls and join their MAGA counterparts and shut the government down, as they should know that they have the majority of American voters behind them!!
This is the problem with those who lack morals, principles and values.
They are more interested in nuance and the gears of bureaucracy operating correctly than doing the right thing. No money for the FBI, DOJ, and other alphabet agencies. Until these agencies are shut down until they stop attacking the American citizens should they get one more dime of our money. Period!
Speaker Johnson is going to fund the govt., keep the government. open, not seal the border, not release the J6 tapes. The spending and the commandeering of our defaulting economy (crowding out our economic decisions) are the real problems in DC AND THE CLUELESS IMBECILES that think they’re in the nation’s capitol to “solve our problems” are part of the problem.
This is why voters must be informed and get rid of RHINOS. SENATE HAS 14-20
& US HOUSE HAS 40-60. JUST LIKE THE US HOUSE HAS OVER 100 REGISTERED DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS. Screw giving them a dime. Make them live off the trillions they’ve already stolen.
New Speaker: Same problems: political cowardice.
Johnson, you are the speaker of the house. It is time for you to use that gavel, and
all the influence and power that you possibly can muster to shut down the government, completely shut it down and shut down the border and seal it. Time to put deportation into high gear, time to make dominion and all other voting machines illegal in America, time to die everyone connected to Dominion. Time to Decertify Biden, you have enough evidence Voter Fraud across the country starts punishing rhinos.
Why are ALL of them so damn afraid to let the government shut down?
I don’t hear a single one of them, not even the so-called Maga reps calling for a shutdown… WHY NOT????
A shut down automatically
stops all the pork barrel programs
that were supposed to expire but have been funded year after year by one CR after another. If any of them were serious they’d pass the remaining appropriations bills no regardless of going past the deadline or not. Pass the damn bills and let the Senate worry about it!
Seriously folks.. This is not rocket science.
Our government officials need to pass one thing. Close the border & if not send immigrants to their communities. If the government shuts down, so be it. Tons of folks have listed their jobs not in the government. Must gradually cut spending dramatically over a short period of time to save America!
Make cuts in the budget, support our own homeless veterans and citizens,
if this can’t be done. Then shut the government down and no pay, perks or pensions
for Congress. Incorporate REAL BORDER SECURITY, E-VERIFY, NO FUNDING OF SANCTUARY CITY BAIL-OUTS, JUST CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER.
We are being INVADED and SCAMMED!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s gotten to the point that we the people no longer believe that our government has
OUR backs. Why would we want a government that represents everyone else’s interests
but ours. Shut the Damn Government down!
Here’s the Latest Place the Biden Administration Wants to House Illegal Immigrants.

OUR SPEAKER IS A MAN WHO STANDS BEFORE THE LIVING LORD AND WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. I HAVE NO DOUBT. AMEN. DO NOT SCREW THE MAGA BASE FOR A ESTABLISHMENT RINO HOLIDAY RECESS……AGAIN .
Shut it down! Stop kicking the can down the road. Less spending and less government
is what the people want. Get on board or get out of the way! Lean on the enablers to fall in line! Nothing less! Government shutdown is INEVITABLE. It will shut down when we take a stand on principle. Or when the checks start bouncing. Either Way, It WILL Shut Down.
SHUT IT DOWN.
Small government is the best government. Forever and always.
