    How to change course

    Your disease isn’t your real problem, it’s the solution. You are your real problem.

    Pain is the most important message

    Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast

    My full protocol will shock you

    Actually, this is the shortcut … seriously

    I’ve been sick a long time. But sick in the way most people nowadays are sick, i.e. not really thinking of myself as sick. “I’m healthy!”, we all insist. And we believe it unless someone scratches beneath the surface. Then a laundry list of “minor” complaints often spills out.

    Now, I have to say before we go any further that it is actually better not to think of oneself as “sick.” Those who think they’re fine do much better in terms of morbidity and mortality than those who think they’re not, regardless of the medical “facts.” That’s because of one of the main points we hope to make in this article, that diseases aren’t necessarily harmful to people. They’re just messages and maneuvers after all (more on exactly what that means shortly).

    It’s usually the interventions upon interventions upon interventions that hurt you. As well as the toxic nocebo effects of associating with well-meaning doctors who don’t actually know much about the body, why it manifests disease, or how to cure it.

    My “Messages”

    As for me: I was significantly overweight with some mild psoriasis, chronically constipated, had weirdly weak urine flow without prostate problems, suffered occasional reflux, occasional insomnia, got angry and irritable often, couldn’t control my sweet tooth, recently began feeling a small umbilical (belly button) hernia developing, had mild brain fog (e.g. occasional word finding difficulty) that’s been very mildly worsening for years now, and had a lot of difficulty changing myself in ways I wanted to change.

    I had a few signs most people wouldn’t even know are indicators of ill-health like skin tags and a few lipomas, which may indicate insulin resistance (which 99% of people likely have in the modern west). Ridges on my nails which likely indicate a micronutrient deficiency. Developing bags under my eyes that could indicate stress on the liver detox pathways. Beard quickly turning gray during the pandemic, which certainly indicated a lot of stress (I was working 15 hour days for months in a row at one point). Plaque that rapidly built up and remained on my teeth despite regular brushing that indicates a disruption of the oral microbiome.

    Most people will surprise themselves if they sit down and list out everything they can think of. It might even take a couple days as some things have become so normalized you don’t even think of them anymore. If you had fast forwarded from 10 to 40+ in a few days it would have been shockingly dismaying and would likely have either led to despair or determination - i.e. to fix yourself up ASAP and no matter what. But we don’t fast forward through the slowly-boiling-frog stage. It takes decades, so we just accept early aging, unnecessary dysfunction and an untimely death.

    Changing Course

    Changing course requires two necessities: 1. discovering there is another option that you’re convinced will work, and 2. finding the motivation to implement it.

    There is another option. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. My partner Hakim Shabaz has implemented it with 100s of patients (mostly those about to die since it is so demanding), and quite impressively on himself. He went from being in his early 30s and looking like he was going on 50, to actually going on 50, but looking like he’s in his early 30s. Along the way his health radically improved in myriad ways.

    Finding motivation. This is trickier, but relates to number 1.

    Motivation to do something requires belief that it will work. Belief requires education and perhaps most importantly avoiding miseducation (or deprogramming from it). Miseducation is all around us all the time. Nearly every time you interface with the world you’re misinformed in some way, because the very paradigm of reality that everyone uses as the basis of everything they think, say and do, is way off. This is particularly obvious and harmful when speaking to anyone in the modern medical system about anything. None of them understand the first thing about disease (see next section).

    Once you begin to believe, you still have to strengthen your belief. This means continuing to expose yourself to information that affirms it, and avoid information that detracts from it.

    As your belief grows you continually remind yourself of the tremendous benefits of implementing what is admittedly a somewhat difficult lifestyle overhaul that will continue for months, but will pay dividends not only for the rest of your natural earthly life, but into all of eternity.

    Pray and plead for that lightbulb moment that is so rare, and powerful, when suddenly you feel the hand of fate reach down and nudge you onto a different course.

    Once the moment arrives, commit wholeheartedly and stay the course without “cheating,” which has led to the utter failure of so many people who were finally headed in the right direction. It can literally take years to come up with the motivation to try again. Ask those who’ve been there, like me. Learn from my mistakes as well as those of others, as well as your own.

    The First Thing About Disease

    This is why you avoid “healthcare” like the plague.

    Because, honestly, it’s not even what most people who are “awake” have started calling it, i.e. “Disease Care”.

    It’s actually Disease Producing.

    The first thing to know about disease is that what you see is not your problem. It’s usually the solution to your problem.

    Disease is at least two things: 1. a message and 2. a maneuver.

    It’s a message in at least two possible ways: direct and indirect.

    A direct message means that there’s a physical toxin and/or pathogen in some tissue of your body, and your immune system is fighting it off, rooting it out, which creates symptoms. Just as if criminals had taken your family hostage and a SWAT team had to come save them. They might try negotiating at first, but if things escalate and there’s no other choice they kick down your door and go capture or kill the bad guys. If you systematically refuse to allow SWAT to take care of these situations then criminals will start doing the same to more and more families throughout the city. Eventually other crime will explode as well. Lawlessness will reign and eventually you may have to bring in the military to get it under control. If you then prevent the military from doing the job, eventually you may have a full on revolution. If you still prevent the military from stepping in you lose the city, state or even the entire country.

    An indirect message means that there’s an emotional root cause issue, like childhood trauma that may be manifesting as an allergic disorder triggered by usually harmless items like common foods. In both cases the body isn’t making any mistakes, it’s responding appropriately to help you deal with the real root cause of your problem, which is hurting you physically or emotionally.

    It’s a maneuver in that the symptoms and signs themselves are helpful in mitigating the harm from the underlying root cause. Lab work which is almost universally misunderstood by modern medical practitioners and patients offers many examples. High ferritin levels, the storage form of iron, are usually due to inflammation or infection. So the high ferritin is not a problem to be fixed in and of itself. Many pathogens can make use of iron to hurt you, so the body locks it away from them, which raises ferritin. If you somehow force your body to lower ferritin, it would just make matters worse as you would be less well equipped to fight off the invading force. Out of range lab values are just secondary signs of your body doing the best possible thing for you in the situation you’re in. Reversing the helpful reaction to your problem may help with certain symptoms like fatigue due to anemia from low iron, but it doesn’t help you in the medium or long term, it only ends up harming you far more as the underlying problem proliferates and comes back to bite you harder.

    So, both mainstream and almost all of alternative medicine are way off-base and really just a false dichotomy. They both assume the body is doing the wrong thing because it's either broken or confused. It's not either. It's your first, best, and often only real physician.

    You have to get to the underlying, deeper layer of causes which are not physical or energetic, they’re psycho-spiritual, and they manifests the physical means of disease-making superficial physical causes like toxins, pathogens and lack of nutrients through the energetic weakening that is manifested in your physical organs, by depleting those organs of nutrients and making them susceptible to invasion by toxins and pathogens that cause disease.

    Which again is not a bad thing, because it's just a message pointing you in the direction of your real problem.

    Pain is Good

    Pain is the most important message, because it protects you from what would harm you which is another way of saying it keeps you alive. Because what harms in small quantities, kills in large doses. You can get a large dose all at once, or have it build up over the decades until it finally finishes you off, which is what happens to most people.

    Pain will begin as mild discomfort. A bit of reflux, occasional constipation, some rough menstrual periods, random headaches, mild allergies, etc.

    If you understand what’s going on you’ll pay attention, not cover it up with symptomatic medications, address the deeper root cause issues and get back on the right track.

    Pain is meant to course correct you.

    If you took off on a trans-Atlantic voyage with the right heading, but then you never again checked your instruments to be sure you were still on the right course, you might end up in South Africa instead of the south of France.

    Pain is feedback from your body and soul. It means you’re headed the wrong way. Check your instruments and get back on track.

    The Real Roots of Disease

    Consciousness comes first, and it manifests the physical world. Consciousness has a connection to the Divine, a sense that there’s something greater than itself, an ultimate creative force. Consciousness has various other aspects of itself like the ability to believe certain things about reality, be motivated to do things for itself, the ability to plan, the ability to feel emotions, the ability to balance the needs of disparate parts of itself, and finally the ability to manifest its various parts as energy and ultimately physical substance.

    Different “higher” aspects of self relate to different parts of the energetic and physical body. The heart balances between the organs. The liver relates to anger. The kidneys to fear.

    As mentioned above, when these or other emotions are imbalanced they place strain on their respective organs. Over time that strain wears down the organs, and as they get worn down they become less able to do their particular jobs. The organs also become less able to protect themselves from the buildup of toxins and from unusual proliferation of our own microbiome or invasion by foreign pathogens. The microbiome includes not only bacteria, but fungi, viruses, and may even include some parasites in some people. Fungi are nature’s toxin cleanup crews. They do the same inside our own bodies. When toxins build up they proliferate to bind, sequester and protect our tissues from them. Various other elements of the microbiome have their own reasons to proliferate on our behalf. Beneficial bacteria for example often aid tremendously in fighting off foreign pathogenic bacteria, something that might become necessary when the immune system within a particular tissue can no longer do its job adequately. The not so downside to all these maneuvers is that there will often be some uncomfortable side effects, or pain signals sent because of them.

    Focus on the Meaning of the Message

    To understand how to reverse disease and get truly healthy again, we have to know what not to do first.

    We can’t just focus on the superficial symptoms and signs.

    Everyone who's studied anything about alternative health probably understands that to some extent, but what most don’t understand is just how many things fall under the superficial category.

    Really everything physical is superficial, including all those “risk factors” that you’re warned about and urged to “control” like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, obesity, and even “stress” itself.

    None of these are root causes.

    There’s really only one root cause.

    You are the root cause of not only all your illnesses, but of all your problems in life.

    You have to fix you before it’s too late.

    What that means is that imbalance at some level of your being will always be manifested as a problem of some sort in your life. As above, so below, as within, so without. This is a law of reality that must be manifested if our existence is to have any meaning. The purpose of existence is to better know ourselves, and thereby the Divine reality and incrementally perfect ourselves in order to draw nearer to it. The universe itself only manifests what we need in order for us to do so, which means it shows us our own faults in order that we may correct them.

    If we tend to be too angry, the universe and everything within it will respond to us in a certain way that will reveal that that excessive anger is a problem - e.g. by giving us various symptoms stemming from some form of liver dysfunction (or its downstream effects on other organs), or making our lives much more difficult than they would otherwise be.

    We may struggle to deal with the anger until perhaps we realize it’s actually based on fear of being harmed and lashing out against that perceived threat to protect ourselves.

    And we may struggle to deal with that fear until perhaps we realize that it’s based on a misconception about the nature of the universe and what’s in it, believing that what is manifested within it is even capable of harming or benefiting us of its own accord.

    At a more practical level, most people are afraid of other people, until they realize that those other people aren’t actually out to get them. That the threat they perceive from others is just a reflection of their own selves. That the sullen expressions or scowls they notice on other’s faces are just a reflection of their own expressions and feelings. What’s underneath the surface of others is ultimately a mystery but assuming the best of them produces the best interactions and outcomes.

    How to Heal

    Some animals just sit there like plants and whatever they need from the world comes to them. They don’t lift a finger or move an inch, yet they eat, drink and procreate. These strange creatures include sponges, anemones, corals, barnacles, and sea squirts (yes, these are all classified as animals).

    coral reef
    Coral is a strange animal
    Despite what you may think, human beings may also be numbered among them, though it’s certainly not our natural state.

    We’re meant to be creatures of action, and action is required for us to grow and change. Our spiritual, mental and emotional sides are deeply entwined with our energetic and physical bodies. What moves one, moves the other. And we’re the ones that move both. However it’s easier to move the physical than it is the energetic, emotional or intellectual. We can’t simply drift in the waves of this world and expect to do any meaningful work on our thoughts, emotions, and spirit. Interacting with others and with the events of our lives is what reveals us to ourselves. Changing how we interact is what shows us that we’ve actually grown and aren’t just fooling ourselves into thinking that we have. You can weep and beg forgiveness in the middle of the night for what you did wrong, but the only way to know for certain that you’ve actually changed is to be in a similar situation again and find out if you commit the same misdeed you did before.

    So the way to change is to do something different that you’re sure will work and keep score so you can’t lie to yourself.

    That’s why the first step in a real healing protocol is to get a plan of action from someone who really knows what they’re doing and can help you heal anything (that’s my own teacher and practice partner Hakim Shabaz, click below to learn more).


    My 5 Week Results

    Strangely enough right from day one I noticed a big improvement in mood, reactivity, and irritability. I was suddenly able to make headway on self-improvement, such as keeping score against myself in order to stop getting selfishly angry, i.e. stop acting like a spoiled 2 year old brat whenever things didn’t go my way. This must have been a placebo-type effect linked to finally deciding to make long overdue, big, hard, sustained changes - I committed to doing it strictly for at least 2 months straight (ensuring there would be no travel plans during that time necessitating skipping key protocol components).

    My skin started clearing up immediately and I started losing weight, which continued throughout at a rapid rate of about 0.7 pounds per day, for a total of about 25 pounds, which brought me down into the normal BMI range for the first time in years. My teeth felt much cleaner within days, almost all the plaque disappearing.

    Redness in my face went away quickly. I have a few patches of psoriasis which became 95% less inflamed and almost stopped scaling entirely within days.

    After a couple weeks the largest skin tag suddenly got inflamed, swelled and was tender for a couple days, then promptly shriveled up and just fell off. A week later a smaller one did the same. Around the same time I passed some roundworms and then started seeing the liver flukes in every bowel movement / enema (they look like floating white date pits, or thin cloves of garlic 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long).

    Image
    These are the liver flukes. Mine all look whitish like the one on top.
    After 3 weeks I realized I was also probably passing hydatid cysts.

    Image
    (If instead of doing all that I had been impatient and just taken some anti-parasitic medication I might have killed so many parasites so fast that my small intestine and gallbladder may have become blocked requiring hospitalization and even surgery.)

    In the 3rd or 4th week I noticed that the urine flow had started improving almost all the time.

    In the 5th week I started noticing moments of greater clarity, and improved mental functioning, especially when in the hot bath, where I experienced a lot of creativity, perhaps because I get particularly relaxed inside.

    This was reminiscent of a period of self improvement I went through decades ago during med school when I got very lean for the first time in my life. What I noticed then and even more so now was that when you become less attached to things, and less wrapped up in yourself, you gain a significant number of IQ points, it feels like anywhere from 5-10+. Instead of going from upset to upset, and getting stuck in various outrage cycles throughout the day, you can dispassionately assess every situation like a word problem or simple riddle, and start to see how perceived problems usually have a very simple and straightforward solution which leaves you far better off than you were before the “problem” presented itself in your life. When you become more present you start seeing multiple moves ahead in every situation and become far more efficient, because you just have more headspace for life. These changes are related to decreasing brain inflammation.

    In the 5th week I also realized that I had slowed down, though this happened a lot earlier, probably near the very beginning. When I’m inflamed and stressed I often get this sense of urgency where I feel I need to rush everything, especially eating.

    I haven’t had any reflux or trouble getting to sleep. No sweet cravings.

    I just realized while writing this that the two most prominent lipomas have started shrinking, appearing to be about half as large as they used to be, which is not usually seen with simple weight loss.

    As the 5th week finished up I started passing what looked like puffed millet.

    Puffed Millet - Organic
    puffed millet
    Also what looked like chunks of bowel wall, but are probably what people refer to a “rope worms,” likely mucus deposits on the walls of the colon that are sloughing off, we think they’re likely remnants of microbial biofilms, and they’re routinely seen in all our patients who watch for them while following their protocols.

    An important point to note is that it’s not all a bed of roses. Part of healing usually requires dealing with some discomfort and even periods of symptom worsening.

    Before the parasite die off began there was a period of a couple days where I became nauseated and then on the 3rd day I projectile vomited after completing my morning green juice. Then as the parasite die-off started I got much more irritable, some mild dyspepsia cropped up, I had a couple nights of light sleep.

    The mental benefits I initially experienced didn’t progress and actually regressed a couple weeks later as more and more toxins began to be released. New mild rashes popped up on my neck, probably from head and neck toxins being flushed out.

    All these issues led to minor additions or alterations to my protocol and required close communication with Hakim Shabaz.

    We see similar issues frequently in patients who have significant whole body toxicity that has developed over decades. It may last for days or weeks at a time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    In some patients microbial die off, especially of parasites, can lead to much worse, like severe pain, biliary and colonic blockages, infection from rotting matter that can’t be fully expelled from involved organs. Our patients don’t develop these since our. protocols are carefully designed to be gradual and not sudden, but many of our patients do develop severe paranoia. Much of the work of the protocol is meant to minimize this stress reaction from affecting patients too greatly, for example various calming herbs and breathing practices.

    When certain microbes, including parasites start to feel threatened they naturally release their own stress hormones, which mimic ours and have the same effects on us that our own do. As parasites begin to die their stress spikes intensely and can make us feel a sense of impending doom, as though we’re going to die. Hakim Shabaz often tells patients on the first visit to write a note to themselves for future reference: “I will reach a point where parasite die off will make me very angry at Hakim Shabaz and I will want to stop the protocol.” When it actually happens and patients are reminded of this seemingly silly task they had completed it can help kick them out of a growing spiral of despair. However many patients cheat on their protocols, which only serves to increase the likelihood their parasite die off will be particularly uncomfortable and perhaps not even as effective as it would otherwise be. That’s because we don’t need to just kill them, we need to shift the terrain so they don’t come back. And we need the body’s help to get into the biofilm where many of them hide. Medications alone often do not accomplish the task without careful adherence to the protocol which starves them of their usual nourishment.

    “Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast.”

    The famous Navy Seals mantra applies to most areas of life, including our health. When you take it slow things go smoothly, mistakes don’t happen, you don’t have to redo things over and over. You get it right the first time. And that makes things go quicker than if you were in a rush to begin with. Whether the journey is the destination or the destination is the destination, in either case doing it right matters. And right means you don’t rush it, because the reward for slogging through slowly compounds over time. As your brain gets less inflamed you sleep better despite sleeping less, your relationships improve, you accomplish more in less time with fewer resources. Your quality of life climbs. Rather than struggling to the top of a hill and not finding any path to climb higher, you learn to fly and take off in the direction of exponential hockey stick growth and change.

    Dr. Abdulrahman M. Aljamouss | The Hockey stick growth
    Everyone has toxins and pathogens in them contributing to ill health, but they have to be removed gradually since the pathways of elimination are only so large. It's like evacuating a city during a disaster. The roads can become completely blocked and then no one gets out.

    The body also needs to be nutritionally supported and the psyche intellectually and emotionally supported by reframing various aspects of life and addressing deeper root causes of illness, since toxins and pathogens are not really the root causes of disease.

    Root causes are found in the psyche and manifested in the form of energetic dysfunction, which further manifests as physical weakness, which leads to the persistence of toxins and pathogens which manifests the physical symptoms as the immune system attempts to root them out.

    Simply flushing toxins and killing pathogens will often resolve symptoms, but not the deeper causes, which means they will manifest themselves again in the same disease after some time, or in some new disease.

    Almost all modern medicine, whether mainstream or alternative, simply applies superficial band aid solutions to symptoms. This passes the buck to your future self with interest. A few months of focused effort can usually fix the deepest problems and pay dividends for decades.

    What I’m Doing

    My protocol is specific to me, though it’s possible others might benefit from it or something similar. I have seen that the protocols from Hakim Shabaz can vary widely depending on the specifics of a person’s health problems. Since the protocol is so time consuming and difficult for most people to commit to long enough to see its benefits, it pays to have the right personalized protocol right off the bat. Even if there were a broadly generalizable generic protocol it would still likely be missing one or a few ingredients specific to each person that could make all the difference in speeding up results.

    Generally speaking, as I see it, the approach to healing from any disease whatsoever involves the following steps that Hakim Shabaz’s protocols help to initiate:

    Believe strongly that you can get better and trigger the placebo effect. Committing to a difficult, time-consuming protocol helps greatly with this, because psychologically it requires some belief to even begin, but the doing also helps to create and strengthen the belief itself. This dynamic creates a positive feedback loop of strengthening belief the longer you continue.

    At the beginning or within the first few months come to understand and accept that every disease reflects the inner self in some way, and resolving it requires doing some work on that aspect of yourself.

    Change the physical to mitigate the symptoms and at the same time help shift your inward reality towards a healthy balanced state. At the physical level we do things like coffee enemas to help the body flush out toxins by opening up the detox pathways of the liver/gallbladder/intestinal complex, the lungs, the skin, and the kidneys. We take toxin binders like chlorella so that the toxins that are dumped into the intestines don’t just recirculate back into the bloodstream. We take antimicrobial compounds to help kill off pathogens. We supplement nutrients that are missing by natural means, which are inherently balanced, e.g. with organ meats and vegetable juicing. Throughout we aim to begin gently rather than harshly. We start with low dose mild antimicrobials so as not to shock the body or lead to rapid die-off which is very uncomfortable, and unhelpful at best, harmful at worst.

    Eventually begin changing the mental and emotional levels and finally resolving old traumas by reframing them rather than repeatedly remembering them within the same frame of reference and thereby re-traumatizing ourselves. This takes someone wise and well-versed in the ancient techniques of really effective psychotherapy and neural retraining. This isn’t just talk therapy, it’s much more effective and efficient if you’re willing to do it.

    Below you’ll find all the details of my comprehensive personal protocol, which along with a specific detox diet, various whole herbs, chlorine dioxide dosing, and certain simple Ayurvedic detox modalities, also includes links to a recipe for a homemade nutritional paste that helps improve detox of the liver, a homemade neck cream that helps detox the head, neck and brain, including the inner ears, and directions for practicing the Humming Bee Breath, which is particularly effective at discharging the toxic energy imbalances caused by emotional trauma, mental stress and even EMF radiation, a well as helping allay chronic irritability and anger.

    The complexity of this protocol and the time required to implement it daily is daunting, and many will balk, insisting that it can’t be that hard, there must be an easier way. Actually killing parasites is not that hard. Many people can take ivermectin and fenbendazole and natural herbs and extracts and they’ll find parasites in their stool and call it a day. The trouble is that the real problem is still there, and even if the parasites are all rooted out, they often come right back, because the terrain is still welcoming them in.

    But, the real reason deep healing requires so much effort is because of just how toxic our modern environment is, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Our ancestors didn’t have to exert so much effort to just get to "normal.” A protocol like this only seems extreme if you don’t realize just how sick the entire planet has become, and that we’re immersed in that dirty fish bowl all the time.

    As far as difficulty level, spending 3+ hours a day for 6 months is easy mode.

    You know what's hard? Becoming disabled and dying early. Also hard: spending 20 years to become a neurosurgeon. If I told you that you had to spend 20 years and half a million dollars in schooling fees in order to heal you would be justified in saying that's hard.

    People need to finally put their health in perspective. You've been sold a bill of goods. Everyone wants a magic pill, but there is no magic pill.

    Something intense like what I’m about to describe is already the easiest, fastest way. Everything else has you going in circles or straight backwards while you fool yourself into believing you're making progress.

He went from being in his early 30s and looking like he was going on 50, to actually going on 50, but looking like he’s in his early 30s. Along the way his health radically improved in myriad ways.

This is particularly obvious and harmful when speaking to anyone in the modern medical system about anything. None of them understand the first thing about disease (see next section). Once you begin to believe, you still have to strengthen your belief. This means continuing to expose yourself to information that affirms it, and avoid information that detracts from it. As your belief grows you continually remind yourself of the tremendous benefits of implementing what is admittedly a somewhat difficult lifestyle overhaul that will continue for months, but will pay dividends not only for the rest of your natural earthly life, but into all of eternity. Pray and plead for that lightbulb moment that is so rare, and powerful, when suddenly you feel the hand of fate reach down and nudge you onto a different course. Once the moment arrives, commit wholeheartedly and stay the course without “cheating,” which has led to the utter failure of so many people who were finally headed in the right direction. It can literally take years to come up with the motivation to try again. Ask those who’ve been there, like me. Learn from my mistakes as well as those of others, as well as your own. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share The First Thing About Disease This is why you avoid “healthcare” like the plague. Because, honestly, it’s not even what most people who are “awake” have started calling it, i.e. “Disease Care”. It’s actually Disease Producing. The first thing to know about disease is that what you see is not your problem. It’s usually the solution to your problem. Disease is at least two things: 1. a message and 2. a maneuver. It’s a message in at least two possible ways: direct and indirect. A direct message means that there’s a physical toxin and/or pathogen in some tissue of your body, and your immune system is fighting it off, rooting it out, which creates symptoms. Just as if criminals had taken your family hostage and a SWAT team had to come save them. They might try negotiating at first, but if things escalate and there’s no other choice they kick down your door and go capture or kill the bad guys. If you systematically refuse to allow SWAT to take care of these situations then criminals will start doing the same to more and more families throughout the city. Eventually other crime will explode as well. Lawlessness will reign and eventually you may have to bring in the military to get it under control. If you then prevent the military from doing the job, eventually you may have a full on revolution. If you still prevent the military from stepping in you lose the city, state or even the entire country. An indirect message means that there’s an emotional root cause issue, like childhood trauma that may be manifesting as an allergic disorder triggered by usually harmless items like common foods. In both cases the body isn’t making any mistakes, it’s responding appropriately to help you deal with the real root cause of your problem, which is hurting you physically or emotionally. It’s a maneuver in that the symptoms and signs themselves are helpful in mitigating the harm from the underlying root cause. Lab work which is almost universally misunderstood by modern medical practitioners and patients offers many examples. High ferritin levels, the storage form of iron, are usually due to inflammation or infection. So the high ferritin is not a problem to be fixed in and of itself. Many pathogens can make use of iron to hurt you, so the body locks it away from them, which raises ferritin. If you somehow force your body to lower ferritin, it would just make matters worse as you would be less well equipped to fight off the invading force. Out of range lab values are just secondary signs of your body doing the best possible thing for you in the situation you’re in. Reversing the helpful reaction to your problem may help with certain symptoms like fatigue due to anemia from low iron, but it doesn’t help you in the medium or long term, it only ends up harming you far more as the underlying problem proliferates and comes back to bite you harder. So, both mainstream and almost all of alternative medicine are way off-base and really just a false dichotomy. They both assume the body is doing the wrong thing because it's either broken or confused. It's not either. It's your first, best, and often only real physician. You have to get to the underlying, deeper layer of causes which are not physical or energetic, they’re psycho-spiritual, and they manifests the physical means of disease-making superficial physical causes like toxins, pathogens and lack of nutrients through the energetic weakening that is manifested in your physical organs, by depleting those organs of nutrients and making them susceptible to invasion by toxins and pathogens that cause disease. Which again is not a bad thing, because it's just a message pointing you in the direction of your real problem. Pain is Good Pain is the most important message, because it protects you from what would harm you which is another way of saying it keeps you alive. Because what harms in small quantities, kills in large doses. You can get a large dose all at once, or have it build up over the decades until it finally finishes you off, which is what happens to most people. Pain will begin as mild discomfort. A bit of reflux, occasional constipation, some rough menstrual periods, random headaches, mild allergies, etc. If you understand what’s going on you’ll pay attention, not cover it up with symptomatic medications, address the deeper root cause issues and get back on the right track. Pain is meant to course correct you. If you took off on a trans-Atlantic voyage with the right heading, but then you never again checked your instruments to be sure you were still on the right course, you might end up in South Africa instead of the south of France. Pain is feedback from your body and soul. It means you’re headed the wrong way. Check your instruments and get back on track. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share The Real Roots of Disease Consciousness comes first, and it manifests the physical world. Consciousness has a connection to the Divine, a sense that there’s something greater than itself, an ultimate creative force. Consciousness has various other aspects of itself like the ability to believe certain things about reality, be motivated to do things for itself, the ability to plan, the ability to feel emotions, the ability to balance the needs of disparate parts of itself, and finally the ability to manifest its various parts as energy and ultimately physical substance. Different “higher” aspects of self relate to different parts of the energetic and physical body. The heart balances between the organs. The liver relates to anger. The kidneys to fear. As mentioned above, when these or other emotions are imbalanced they place strain on their respective organs. Over time that strain wears down the organs, and as they get worn down they become less able to do their particular jobs. The organs also become less able to protect themselves from the buildup of toxins and from unusual proliferation of our own microbiome or invasion by foreign pathogens. The microbiome includes not only bacteria, but fungi, viruses, and may even include some parasites in some people. Fungi are nature’s toxin cleanup crews. They do the same inside our own bodies. When toxins build up they proliferate to bind, sequester and protect our tissues from them. Various other elements of the microbiome have their own reasons to proliferate on our behalf. Beneficial bacteria for example often aid tremendously in fighting off foreign pathogenic bacteria, something that might become necessary when the immune system within a particular tissue can no longer do its job adequately. The not so downside to all these maneuvers is that there will often be some uncomfortable side effects, or pain signals sent because of them. Focus on the Meaning of the Message To understand how to reverse disease and get truly healthy again, we have to know what not to do first. We can’t just focus on the superficial symptoms and signs. Everyone who's studied anything about alternative health probably understands that to some extent, but what most don’t understand is just how many things fall under the superficial category. Really everything physical is superficial, including all those “risk factors” that you’re warned about and urged to “control” like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, obesity, and even “stress” itself. None of these are root causes. There’s really only one root cause. You are the root cause of not only all your illnesses, but of all your problems in life. You have to fix you before it’s too late. What that means is that imbalance at some level of your being will always be manifested as a problem of some sort in your life. As above, so below, as within, so without. This is a law of reality that must be manifested if our existence is to have any meaning. The purpose of existence is to better know ourselves, and thereby the Divine reality and incrementally perfect ourselves in order to draw nearer to it. The universe itself only manifests what we need in order for us to do so, which means it shows us our own faults in order that we may correct them. If we tend to be too angry, the universe and everything within it will respond to us in a certain way that will reveal that that excessive anger is a problem - e.g. by giving us various symptoms stemming from some form of liver dysfunction (or its downstream effects on other organs), or making our lives much more difficult than they would otherwise be. We may struggle to deal with the anger until perhaps we realize it’s actually based on fear of being harmed and lashing out against that perceived threat to protect ourselves. And we may struggle to deal with that fear until perhaps we realize that it’s based on a misconception about the nature of the universe and what’s in it, believing that what is manifested within it is even capable of harming or benefiting us of its own accord. At a more practical level, most people are afraid of other people, until they realize that those other people aren’t actually out to get them. That the threat they perceive from others is just a reflection of their own selves. That the sullen expressions or scowls they notice on other’s faces are just a reflection of their own expressions and feelings. What’s underneath the surface of others is ultimately a mystery but assuming the best of them produces the best interactions and outcomes. Share How to Heal Some animals just sit there like plants and whatever they need from the world comes to them. They don’t lift a finger or move an inch, yet they eat, drink and procreate. These strange creatures include sponges, anemones, corals, barnacles, and sea squirts (yes, these are all classified as animals). coral reef Coral is a strange animal Despite what you may think, human beings may also be numbered among them, though it’s certainly not our natural state. We’re meant to be creatures of action, and action is required for us to grow and change. Our spiritual, mental and emotional sides are deeply entwined with our energetic and physical bodies. What moves one, moves the other. And we’re the ones that move both. However it’s easier to move the physical than it is the energetic, emotional or intellectual. We can’t simply drift in the waves of this world and expect to do any meaningful work on our thoughts, emotions, and spirit. Interacting with others and with the events of our lives is what reveals us to ourselves. Changing how we interact is what shows us that we’ve actually grown and aren’t just fooling ourselves into thinking that we have. You can weep and beg forgiveness in the middle of the night for what you did wrong, but the only way to know for certain that you’ve actually changed is to be in a similar situation again and find out if you commit the same misdeed you did before. So the way to change is to do something different that you’re sure will work and keep score so you can’t lie to yourself. That’s why the first step in a real healing protocol is to get a plan of action from someone who really knows what they’re doing and can help you heal anything (that’s my own teacher and practice partner Hakim Shabaz, click below to learn more). My 5 Week Results Strangely enough right from day one I noticed a big improvement in mood, reactivity, and irritability. I was suddenly able to make headway on self-improvement, such as keeping score against myself in order to stop getting selfishly angry, i.e. stop acting like a spoiled 2 year old brat whenever things didn’t go my way. This must have been a placebo-type effect linked to finally deciding to make long overdue, big, hard, sustained changes - I committed to doing it strictly for at least 2 months straight (ensuring there would be no travel plans during that time necessitating skipping key protocol components). My skin started clearing up immediately and I started losing weight, which continued throughout at a rapid rate of about 0.7 pounds per day, for a total of about 25 pounds, which brought me down into the normal BMI range for the first time in years. My teeth felt much cleaner within days, almost all the plaque disappearing. Redness in my face went away quickly. I have a few patches of psoriasis which became 95% less inflamed and almost stopped scaling entirely within days. After a couple weeks the largest skin tag suddenly got inflamed, swelled and was tender for a couple days, then promptly shriveled up and just fell off. A week later a smaller one did the same. Around the same time I passed some roundworms and then started seeing the liver flukes in every bowel movement / enema (they look like floating white date pits, or thin cloves of garlic 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long). Image These are the liver flukes. Mine all look whitish like the one on top. After 3 weeks I realized I was also probably passing hydatid cysts. Image (If instead of doing all that I had been impatient and just taken some anti-parasitic medication I might have killed so many parasites so fast that my small intestine and gallbladder may have become blocked requiring hospitalization and even surgery.) In the 3rd or 4th week I noticed that the urine flow had started improving almost all the time. In the 5th week I started noticing moments of greater clarity, and improved mental functioning, especially when in the hot bath, where I experienced a lot of creativity, perhaps because I get particularly relaxed inside. This was reminiscent of a period of self improvement I went through decades ago during med school when I got very lean for the first time in my life. What I noticed then and even more so now was that when you become less attached to things, and less wrapped up in yourself, you gain a significant number of IQ points, it feels like anywhere from 5-10+. Instead of going from upset to upset, and getting stuck in various outrage cycles throughout the day, you can dispassionately assess every situation like a word problem or simple riddle, and start to see how perceived problems usually have a very simple and straightforward solution which leaves you far better off than you were before the “problem” presented itself in your life. When you become more present you start seeing multiple moves ahead in every situation and become far more efficient, because you just have more headspace for life. These changes are related to decreasing brain inflammation. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share In the 5th week I also realized that I had slowed down, though this happened a lot earlier, probably near the very beginning. When I’m inflamed and stressed I often get this sense of urgency where I feel I need to rush everything, especially eating. I haven’t had any reflux or trouble getting to sleep. No sweet cravings. I just realized while writing this that the two most prominent lipomas have started shrinking, appearing to be about half as large as they used to be, which is not usually seen with simple weight loss. As the 5th week finished up I started passing what looked like puffed millet. Puffed Millet - Organic puffed millet Also what looked like chunks of bowel wall, but are probably what people refer to a “rope worms,” likely mucus deposits on the walls of the colon that are sloughing off, we think they’re likely remnants of microbial biofilms, and they’re routinely seen in all our patients who watch for them while following their protocols. An important point to note is that it’s not all a bed of roses. Part of healing usually requires dealing with some discomfort and even periods of symptom worsening. Before the parasite die off began there was a period of a couple days where I became nauseated and then on the 3rd day I projectile vomited after completing my morning green juice. Then as the parasite die-off started I got much more irritable, some mild dyspepsia cropped up, I had a couple nights of light sleep. The mental benefits I initially experienced didn’t progress and actually regressed a couple weeks later as more and more toxins began to be released. New mild rashes popped up on my neck, probably from head and neck toxins being flushed out. All these issues led to minor additions or alterations to my protocol and required close communication with Hakim Shabaz. We see similar issues frequently in patients who have significant whole body toxicity that has developed over decades. It may last for days or weeks at a time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In some patients microbial die off, especially of parasites, can lead to much worse, like severe pain, biliary and colonic blockages, infection from rotting matter that can’t be fully expelled from involved organs. Our patients don’t develop these since our. protocols are carefully designed to be gradual and not sudden, but many of our patients do develop severe paranoia. Much of the work of the protocol is meant to minimize this stress reaction from affecting patients too greatly, for example various calming herbs and breathing practices. When certain microbes, including parasites start to feel threatened they naturally release their own stress hormones, which mimic ours and have the same effects on us that our own do. As parasites begin to die their stress spikes intensely and can make us feel a sense of impending doom, as though we’re going to die. Hakim Shabaz often tells patients on the first visit to write a note to themselves for future reference: “I will reach a point where parasite die off will make me very angry at Hakim Shabaz and I will want to stop the protocol.” When it actually happens and patients are reminded of this seemingly silly task they had completed it can help kick them out of a growing spiral of despair. However many patients cheat on their protocols, which only serves to increase the likelihood their parasite die off will be particularly uncomfortable and perhaps not even as effective as it would otherwise be. That’s because we don’t need to just kill them, we need to shift the terrain so they don’t come back. And we need the body’s help to get into the biofilm where many of them hide. Medications alone often do not accomplish the task without careful adherence to the protocol which starves them of their usual nourishment. “Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast.” The famous Navy Seals mantra applies to most areas of life, including our health. When you take it slow things go smoothly, mistakes don’t happen, you don’t have to redo things over and over. You get it right the first time. And that makes things go quicker than if you were in a rush to begin with. Whether the journey is the destination or the destination is the destination, in either case doing it right matters. And right means you don’t rush it, because the reward for slogging through slowly compounds over time. As your brain gets less inflamed you sleep better despite sleeping less, your relationships improve, you accomplish more in less time with fewer resources. Your quality of life climbs. Rather than struggling to the top of a hill and not finding any path to climb higher, you learn to fly and take off in the direction of exponential hockey stick growth and change. Dr. Abdulrahman M. Aljamouss | The Hockey stick growth Everyone has toxins and pathogens in them contributing to ill health, but they have to be removed gradually since the pathways of elimination are only so large. It's like evacuating a city during a disaster. The roads can become completely blocked and then no one gets out. The body also needs to be nutritionally supported and the psyche intellectually and emotionally supported by reframing various aspects of life and addressing deeper root causes of illness, since toxins and pathogens are not really the root causes of disease. Root causes are found in the psyche and manifested in the form of energetic dysfunction, which further manifests as physical weakness, which leads to the persistence of toxins and pathogens which manifests the physical symptoms as the immune system attempts to root them out. Simply flushing toxins and killing pathogens will often resolve symptoms, but not the deeper causes, which means they will manifest themselves again in the same disease after some time, or in some new disease. Thanks for reading Dr. Syed Haider! This post is public so feel free to share it. Share Almost all modern medicine, whether mainstream or alternative, simply applies superficial band aid solutions to symptoms. This passes the buck to your future self with interest. A few months of focused effort can usually fix the deepest problems and pay dividends for decades. What I’m Doing My protocol is specific to me, though it’s possible others might benefit from it or something similar. I have seen that the protocols from Hakim Shabaz can vary widely depending on the specifics of a person’s health problems. Since the protocol is so time consuming and difficult for most people to commit to long enough to see its benefits, it pays to have the right personalized protocol right off the bat. Even if there were a broadly generalizable generic protocol it would still likely be missing one or a few ingredients specific to each person that could make all the difference in speeding up results. Generally speaking, as I see it, the approach to healing from any disease whatsoever involves the following steps that Hakim Shabaz’s protocols help to initiate: Believe strongly that you can get better and trigger the placebo effect. Committing to a difficult, time-consuming protocol helps greatly with this, because psychologically it requires some belief to even begin, but the doing also helps to create and strengthen the belief itself. This dynamic creates a positive feedback loop of strengthening belief the longer you continue. At the beginning or within the first few months come to understand and accept that every disease reflects the inner self in some way, and resolving it requires doing some work on that aspect of yourself. Change the physical to mitigate the symptoms and at the same time help shift your inward reality towards a healthy balanced state. At the physical level we do things like coffee enemas to help the body flush out toxins by opening up the detox pathways of the liver/gallbladder/intestinal complex, the lungs, the skin, and the kidneys. We take toxin binders like chlorella so that the toxins that are dumped into the intestines don’t just recirculate back into the bloodstream. We take antimicrobial compounds to help kill off pathogens. We supplement nutrients that are missing by natural means, which are inherently balanced, e.g. with organ meats and vegetable juicing. Throughout we aim to begin gently rather than harshly. We start with low dose mild antimicrobials so as not to shock the body or lead to rapid die-off which is very uncomfortable, and unhelpful at best, harmful at worst. Eventually begin changing the mental and emotional levels and finally resolving old traumas by reframing them rather than repeatedly remembering them within the same frame of reference and thereby re-traumatizing ourselves. This takes someone wise and well-versed in the ancient techniques of really effective psychotherapy and neural retraining. This isn’t just talk therapy, it’s much more effective and efficient if you’re willing to do it. Below you’ll find all the details of my comprehensive personal protocol, which along with a specific detox diet, various whole herbs, chlorine dioxide dosing, and certain simple Ayurvedic detox modalities, also includes links to a recipe for a homemade nutritional paste that helps improve detox of the liver, a homemade neck cream that helps detox the head, neck and brain, including the inner ears, and directions for practicing the Humming Bee Breath, which is particularly effective at discharging the toxic energy imbalances caused by emotional trauma, mental stress and even EMF radiation, a well as helping allay chronic irritability and anger. The complexity of this protocol and the time required to implement it daily is daunting, and many will balk, insisting that it can’t be that hard, there must be an easier way. Actually killing parasites is not that hard. Many people can take ivermectin and fenbendazole and natural herbs and extracts and they’ll find parasites in their stool and call it a day. The trouble is that the real problem is still there, and even if the parasites are all rooted out, they often come right back, because the terrain is still welcoming them in. But, the real reason deep healing requires so much effort is because of just how toxic our modern environment is, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Our ancestors didn’t have to exert so much effort to just get to "normal.” A protocol like this only seems extreme if you don’t realize just how sick the entire planet has become, and that we’re immersed in that dirty fish bowl all the time. As far as difficulty level, spending 3+ hours a day for 6 months is easy mode. You know what's hard? Becoming disabled and dying early. Also hard: spending 20 years to become a neurosurgeon. If I told you that you had to spend 20 years and half a million dollars in schooling fees in order to heal you would be justified in saying that's hard. People need to finally put their health in perspective. You've been sold a bill of goods. Everyone wants a magic pill, but there is no magic pill. Something intense like what I’m about to describe is already the easiest, fastest way. Everything else has you going in circles or straight backwards while you fool yourself into believing you're making progress.

    Americans Are Not Feeling Well

    Robert W Malone MD, MS

    Author: David Marks

    Republished by permission from the Report from Planet Earth substack

    (Note: A version of this article was published in the Orlando Sentinel)

    Despite the huge amount of appropriated funds and the strenuous efforts of many individuals working in healthcare, Americans have increasingly suffered from a range of acute and chronic conditions over recent decades. As an influential member of the Trump administration, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have the opportunity to begin a reversal of this trend. He is developing plans to revamp the Federal agencies that regulate the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

    Mr. Kennedy has presented incontrovertible data about the state of our health. He says the first step towards change is reforming policies and restoring compromised government oversight.

    It will take a concerted effort to convert a system that has allowed an array of degrading health conditions and an avalanche of human suffering. The statistics compiled by reliable scientific sources reveal details of this staggering crisis.

    ~ Six out of ten adults in America are living with a chronic illness. Seventy-four percent of American adults are overweight or obese. Rates of kidney disease and autoimmune conditions are going up. Cancer rates among young people are rising.

    ~ One-third of American teens are taking a prescription drug and nearly 30% are pre-diabetic. More than 18% of adolescents have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In 2020, 77% of young adults didn't qualify for the military based on their health scores, forcing the military to lower its standards.

    ~ Health problems of young Americans begin at an early age even as they receive vaccines to protect them from illness. The CDC currently recommends at least 70 doses of 18 different vaccines from infancy until age eighteen, yet children have never had more acute and chronic ailments. These vaccination protocols urgently need re-evaluation.

    The increasing use of prescription drugs by all Americans presents a dire warning. However, due to the unprecedented influence of lobbyists, elected representatives have allowed the pharmaceutical industry rampant freedom to sell questionable products.

    Washington has not solved the problem of the revolving doors between Big Pharma and government regulators. This is the primary reason federal agencies are paralyzed by corporate interests and remain negligent in their protective roles.

    Americans are also barraged with a one-sided view about the benefits of pharmaceuticals. The United States is one of two countries in the world where prescription drugs can be advertised. This inappropriate promotional effort has a secondary consequence; news and information about pharmaceutical issues cannot be trusted when coming from networks dependent on this huge source of income.

    Mr. Kennedy’s efforts to initiate meaningful change to the current system continue to be dismissed by mainstream news media. Big Pharma’s concerns about earnings overshadow what is best for patients. Profitable symptomatic drugs dominate treatment while funding research to understand the underlying causes of illness is secondary.

    Mr. Kennedy’s critique of the standards and practices that have allowed dangerous pharmaceuticals on the market is not speculative. Government oversight has become lax and needs a dramatic overhaul. An assessment of Big Pharma's motivation and practices is overdue.

    In addition to improved oversight of treatment with drugs, the causes of acute and chronic illness must also be examined.

    RFK Jr. also points to the sound evidence that increasing amounts of environmental toxins are likely factors contributing to high rates of disease. While many other countries have restrictions reflecting these concerns, the government has failed to protect Americans; the United States has some of the weakest standards in the developed world.

    As of 2019, the U.S. permits the use of 72 pesticides that the European Union bans. The government also allows chemicals in food and skincare that are outlawed in Europe. Some of these additives are quite common in our daily lives.

    The direct relationship between exposure to toxins and well-being has been effectively obscured by the corporate interests overseeing medical care and agricultural guidelines.

    Despite growing awareness over decades that chronic diseases and acute illness are often preventable with a natural diet of fresh food free from chemicals, at least 71% of medical schools still don’t require a course in nutrition.

    Dietary recommendations are coming from those swayed by corporations profiting from denatured foods. Ninety-five percent of the members of a USDA panel who updated the most recent nutritional guidelines had conflicts of interest.

    Financial incentives for improving diet and physical fitness must become central to the U.S. Government’s contribution to supporting a vital population.

    Mr. Kennedy has rightly pointed out that the other important issues facing us today will only be resolved by making America healthy again. Considering how ill Americans are, anyone who doubts his premise that monetary interests and political corruption have driven the rise of acute and chronic disease — is supporting the continuing corruption.

    The great challenge of improving the nation’s health should not be on one man’s shoulders — it is everyone’s responsibility. Any resolution of the healthcare crisis will be accomplished only by a united effort across political lines.

The great challenge of improving the nation’s health should not be on one man’s shoulders — it is everyone’s responsibility. Any resolution of the healthcare crisis will be accomplished only by a united effort across political lines. Thanks for reading Who is Robert Malone! This post is public so feel free to share it.

    Israel killed at least 28 people in the Gaza Strip Sunday.

    At least four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Umm al-Fahm School in the town of Beit Lahia, which serves to shelter displaced civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
    The Lebanese health ministry has reported that Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed at least 109 individuals and left 364 others wounded across the country.

    An entire family of 17 members was wiped out by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the town of Zboud, in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, Lebanese media said.
    In Yemen, at least four people were killed and 49 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the western city of Al Hudaydah on Sunday, the Houthi group said.

    Around 17,000 children killed in Israeli war on Gaza, Palestinian authorities say

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Around 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since last October, according to local authorities on Sunday.

    “Around 25,973 Palestinian children now live in Gaza without one or both parents due to the Israeli aggression,” Ismail al-Thawabta, who heads Gaza’s government media office, told Anadolu.

    He said at least 16,859 children, including 171 infants, have been killed in Israeli attacks since Oct. 7, 2023.

    The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has repeatedly warned that “Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors” under relentless Israeli attacks.

    Gaza: Israel’s destruction of agricultural land is expression of its insistence on committing genocide

    Euro Med Monitor reports:

    Israel has once again destroyed hundreds of dunams of agricultural land, depriving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip of agricultural land and resources vital to survival, all in support of its illegal blockade of the Strip and tight restrictions on the entry of food supplies for almost a full year. This is an expression of Israel’s insistence on committing genocide against Palestinians in the enclave.

    Israel has forced over 75% of agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian people’s hands, either by isolating it in preparation for illegally annexing it to its military “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or otherwise damaging it, thereby destroying the Strip’s supply of fruits, vegetables, and meat.

    This destruction is part of a larger Israeli plan that dates back to last October. Under this plan, Israeli forces have worked to eliminate almost 80% of the agricultural land in the Gaza Strip from use by Palestinians. Israel has done this either by isolating it in preparation for its forcible annexation to the so-called “buffer zone” or by bulldozing or destroying it by other means, such as bombardment—all of which are in violation of international law.

    According to the Euro-Med Monitor field team, Israeli forces stormed the area of Al-Shimaa in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, early on Tuesday morning (25 September 2024). Accompanied by military bulldozers, the forces began their bulldozing operations, destroying more than 500 dunums of newly replanted agricultural land, which was supposed to sustain the needs of the people living in northern Gaza, who are subject to an arbitrary siege and systematic starvation by Israel.

    The Israeli destruction of these agricultural lands, the majority of which were filled with eggplants, reflects Israel’s insistence on preventing the Palestinian people from depending on the region’s agricultural food basket during a period when sufficient supplies of vegetables and other foods are being kept out of the northern Gaza Strip. This has led to a severe famine, to the point where a significant portion of the people in the north have been forced to eat tree leaves and bake ground-up animal feed instead of flour.

    Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps

    Middle East Monitor reports:

    The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday.

    The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.”

    The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.”

    From Gaza to Lebanon: Israel’s Bombing Campaign Backed by Media Propaganda

    MintPress News reports:

    Western corporate media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, have been working overtime to justify Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon, which claimed the lives of approximately 600 people in a single day. These reports have repeatedly claimed that the Israeli strikes were targeting “Hezbollah positions,” an assertion that has been widely echoed without substantial scrutiny.

    Israel’s large-scale onslaught against civilian areas throughout Lebanon, which began on Monday, was covered by Western corporate media as “strikes on Hezbollah.”

    CNN’s story on the first day of the assault, after around 500 people had been killed across Lebanon, was titled, “Israeli Strikes Targeting Hezbollah Kill Hundreds Across Lebanon.” The New York Times set up a live events feed labeled “Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon.” Even Reuters and the Associated Press, two of the most reputable Western news providers, framed the events as an escalation from “both sides,” covering Israel’s attack on Hezbollah.


    A Reuters article published Tuesday opens with a telling lede: “An Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as cross-border rocket attacks by both sides increased fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, and Lebanon said only Washington could help end the fighting.”

    Israel has made no secret of the fact that it is targeting civilians, as demonstrated by its release of a CGI video showing mockups of Lebanese villages, where missiles are allegedly stored in homes. Despite this, much of the Western media has yet to acknowledge these admissions.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled any remaining doubt when he delivered a message in English to the people of Lebanon in which he claimed, “Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.” He further stated, “They’ve placed rockets in your living rooms” and “missiles in your garage.”

    Garbage situation in Gaza is catastrophic

    Various agencies report:

    UNRWA, the United Nations group serving Palestinian refugees, says: Mountains of garbage are piling up in Gaza middle areas as sewage leaks onto streets. Families have no choice but to live beside the accumulated waste, exposed to the reek and the threat of a looming health disaster. Sanitary and living conditions across Gaza are inhumane.

    According to ReliefWeb, the waste management system in Gaza, already limited before the war, has now completely collapsed as collection vehicles have been destroyed and access to official landfills is refused by the Israeli military.

    Waste attracts rodents and insects resulting in the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera or skin diseases, while waste burning, a disposal method that locals use to manage the current emergency, worsens air pollution which in turn can result in further respiratory problems. People, many of whom are children, scavenging waste for food and sustenance, face additional risks from hazardous materials, which include medical waste and industrial chemicals.

    There are also growing indications that conflict pollution is risked with the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a development that can deepen the medical health crisis.

    Large waste dumps are also a threat to the soil and groundwater, as leachate, a toxic mix that spills from the waste, seeps into the land and affects groundwater, while in the long-term, increased methane release from landfills contributes to an increase of greenhouse gas emissions.

    Lebanon says around 1 million people displaced due to Israeli attacks

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Sunday that around one million people have been displaced due to Israeli attacks, marking the largest wave of displacement in the country’s history.

    “Lebanon is experiencing the largest wave of displacement in its history,” he told a press conference following a meeting of the government’s emergency committee in Beirut.

    “Our priority is to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression through continued diplomatic efforts. We have no other choice,” he noted.

    Mikati also reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

    Israel’s state comptroller accuses army of obstructing investigations into Oct. 7 failures

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Israeli State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman accused the military on Sunday of hindering investigations into the failures that led to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

    “No external body has shown objectivity in examining the failures,” Englman said during a conference by Israeli media outlets The Jerusalem Post, Maariv and Walla.

    He said his office is conducting a series of investigations related to the failures that led to the Oct. 7 attack.

    “We are nearing completion of this report, but to finalize it, we need to meet with three individuals in the military,” Englman added.

    He emphasized that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi believes that the State Comptroller’s office should not intervene in military issues, declaring him “wrong.”

    The State Comptroller’s office is Israel’s central institution for overseeing various state agencies to ensure public financial accountability.

    US senator confirms Israel used US one ton bombs in Nasrallah strike

    Reuters reports:

    The bomb that Israel used to kill Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last week was an American-made guided weapon, a U.S. senator said on Sunday.

    Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used.

    “We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. “That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that’s a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah,” he said.

    The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

    The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment.

    JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon.

    AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israel media says about 85 so-called “bunker-buster” bombs were used in the attack on Hasan Nasrallah.

    Also known as “ground penetration munition”, these missiles burrow deep into the ground before they detonate.

    They have the power to destroy underground facilities and reinforced concrete buildings.

    Washington’s failure to condemn Israel’s pager terrorism “can only be called racist”

    Ralph Nader writes in Common Dreams:

    Furtively booby-trapping a consumer product like a pager or two-way radio opens a new phase of warfare. This savagery prompted Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA and former secretary of defense, in an interview on the CBS “Sunday Morning” news show to charge Israel with “terrorism.” No prominent national security figure has ever assailed Israel this way. Herewith his words:

    The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new.

    I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next?

    Panetta would never have uttered these words without the concurrence of the CIA and the Department of Defense. Still no consequences for Netanyahu by the U.S. government.

    Netanyahu has made the push button a trigger for mayhem and murder—acts of large-scale terrorism. He and his predecessors have always characterized offensive acts violating the laws of war as “acceptable” defensive tactics.

    The supine Congress and White House regularly rubber-stamp their violations of several U.S. laws on behalf of the Israeli government. (See the letter sent to John Kirby on September 12, 2024).

    Consider the aftermath. No denunciation by U.S. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

    Alarmingly, there were no editorials in the following week criticizing Netanyahu in The Washington Post and The New York Times.

    Imagine if Hezbollah did this to Israeli society. The devaluation of Palestinian and Lebanese lives can only be called racist.

    U.S. blowback analysts are apprehensive about the spread of Israeli-style “red button” explosives and the ingenious, and ever-cheaper armed drones. They see such technologies as potential threats within the U.S.

    Such is the peril of nations whose leaders wage constant profitable, preventable wars and decline to wage muscular peace with comparable determination.

    Pope says Israel’s bombings in Lebanon, Gaza ‘immoral’

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    On Sunday, the pope was asked about Israel’s targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s strike on Beirut, which led to many casualties and reduced several buildings to rubble.

    “Every day I call the parish of Gaza. More than 600 people are there, inside the parish and the college, and they tell me about the things that are happening, including the cruelties that are occurring there,” he told journalists.

    “[D]efense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he added.

    “When there is something disproportionate, a domineering tendency that goes beyond morality is evident,” the pope said.

    “A country that, with its forces, does these things—I’m talking about any country—that does these things in such a “superlative” way, these are immoral actions,” he added.

    “Even in war, there is morality to be safe-guarded. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate some morality. But when this is not respected, you can see—as we say in Argentina—the “bad blood” of these things.”

    Jared Kushner says Israel must ‘finish the job’ in Lebanon

    Al Jazeera reports:

    Jared Kushner, who served as a senior adviser during former US President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, has said calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon is “wrong”.

    In a post on X, Kushner said Israel “cannot afford now to not finish the job” and dismantle Hezbollah completely.“They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned,” said Kushner, who is also the Republican candidate’s son-in-law.
    He added that the “right move” for the US is to allow Israel to “finish the job. It’s long overdue”.

    In March, Kushner sparked controversy when he publicly praised the “very valuable potential” of “waterfront property” in Gaza, in comments that gave a window into what Trump’s policy on Palestine could be during his second term.

    During Trump’s presidency, Kushner played a major role in negotiating the “Abraham Accords”: normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Palestinians slammed the agreements as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people”.

    At one point, Trump’s son-in-law described Gaza as having no historical context – “It was the result of a war – you had tribes that went different places and then Gaza became a thing.”

    Before leading in the creation of Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, Kushner claimed his expertise on the subject came from reading 25 books about Palestine.

    Russian foreign minister urges Israel to abandon ‘essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores’

    Anadolu Agency reports:

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Israel on Saturday to abandon “essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores” as he commented on the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

    Lavrov said at a news conference in New York that he had the impression that Israel is trying to provoke Iran and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, to push the US into direct involvement in the conflict in the Middle East.

    The Russian diplomat noted that Nasrallah’s murder was not the first provocative step by Israel. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in July in the Iranian capital of Tehran where he went to take part in the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi. Before that, Israel attacked the Iranian diplomatic mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

    “Apparently, Israel wants to create a reason for the US to get involved in this war. And in order to create this reason, it has been provoking both Iran and Hezbollah. In this situation, Iranian leadership is behaving extremely responsibly,” he said. “I don’t think this is the right course, I am convinced that the bloodshed must be stopped.”

    Asked about Israel’s willingness to implement UN Security Council resolutions, Lavrov said: “I do not see Israel’s desire to carry out any peace plans.”

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 29:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: at least 42,334* (41,615 in Gaza* – 11,308 women (30%), 16,859 children as of September 5. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 719 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 29: at least 102,059 (including at least 96,359 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.

    The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is 1,640 (104 children, 194 women) and 8,408 injuries. More recently, since September 16, 1,030 have been killed, 6,352 have been injured., with 6,352 injuries, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday, September 28.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.

    **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    ***The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

Accompanied by military bulldozers, the forces began their bulldozing operations, destroying more than 500 dunums of newly replanted agricultural land, which was supposed to sustain the needs of the people living in northern Gaza, who are subject to an arbitrary siege and systematic starvation by Israel. The Israeli destruction of these agricultural lands, the majority of which were filled with eggplants, reflects Israel’s insistence on preventing the Palestinian people from depending on the region’s agricultural food basket during a period when sufficient supplies of vegetables and other foods are being kept out of the northern Gaza Strip. This has led to a severe famine, to the point where a significant portion of the people in the north have been forced to eat tree leaves and bake ground-up animal feed instead of flour.

Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps Middle East Monitor reports: The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday. The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.” The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.” Tent camp near Al-Aqsa Hospital that was hit by a deadly Israeli air attack [Abdallah FS Alattar/Anadolu] Tent camp near Al-Aqsa Hospital that was hit by a recent deadly Israeli air attack [Abdallah FS Alattar/Anadolu] (photo) From Gaza to Lebanon: Israel’s Bombing Campaign Backed by Media Propaganda MintPress News reports: Western corporate media outlets, including the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times, have been working overtime to justify Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon, which claimed the lives of approximately 600 people in a single day. These reports have repeatedly claimed that the Israeli strikes were targeting “Hezbollah positions,” an assertion that has been widely echoed without substantial scrutiny. Israel’s large-scale onslaught against civilian areas throughout Lebanon, which began on Monday, was covered by Western corporate media as “strikes on Hezbollah.” CNN’s story on the first day of the assault, after around 500 people had been killed across Lebanon, was titled, “Israeli Strikes Targeting Hezbollah Kill Hundreds Across Lebanon.” The New York Times set up a live events feed labeled “Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Lebanon.” Even Reuters and the Associated Press, two of the most reputable Western news providers, framed the events as an escalation from “both sides,” covering Israel’s attack on Hezbollah. A Reuters article published Tuesday opens with a telling lede: “An Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as cross-border rocket attacks by both sides increased fears of a full-fledged war in the Middle East, and Lebanon said only Washington could help end the fighting.” Israel has made no secret of the fact that it is targeting civilians, as demonstrated by its release of a CGI video showing mockups of Lebanese villages, where missiles are allegedly stored in homes. Despite this, much of the Western media has yet to acknowledge these admissions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dispelled any remaining doubt when he delivered a message in English to the people of Lebanon in which he claimed, “Hezbollah has been using you as human shields.” He further stated, “They’ve placed rockets in your living rooms” and “missiles in your garage.” (Read the full analysis here.) Garbage situation in Gaza is catastrophic Various agencies report: UNRWA, the United Nations group serving Palestinian refugees, says: Mountains of garbage are piling up in Gaza middle areas as sewage leaks onto streets. Families have no choice but to live beside the accumulated waste, exposed to the reek and the threat of a looming health disaster. Sanitary and living conditions across Gaza are inhumane. According to ReliefWeb, the waste management system in Gaza, already limited before the war, has now completely collapsed as collection vehicles have been destroyed and access to official landfills is refused by the Israeli military. Waste attracts rodents and insects resulting in the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera or skin diseases, while waste burning, a disposal method that locals use to manage the current emergency, worsens air pollution which in turn can result in further respiratory problems. People, many of whom are children, scavenging waste for food and sustenance, face additional risks from hazardous materials, which include medical waste and industrial chemicals. There are also growing indications that conflict pollution is risked with the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a development that can deepen the medical health crisis. Large waste dumps are also a threat to the soil and groundwater, as leachate, a toxic mix that spills from the waste, seeps into the land and affects groundwater, while in the long-term, increased methane release from landfills contributes to an increase of greenhouse gas emissions.

We have no other choice,” he noted. Mikati also reaffirmed Lebanon’s commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

He said his office is conducting a series of investigations related to the failures that led to the Oct. 7 attack. “We are nearing completion of this report, but to finalize it, we need to meet with three individuals in the military,” Englman added. He emphasized that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi believes that the State Comptroller’s office should not intervene in military issues, declaring him “wrong.” The State Comptroller’s office is Israel’s central institution for overseeing various state agencies to ensure public financial accountability.

Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, said Israel used a 2,000-lb (900-kg) Mark 84 series bomb, during an interview with NBC. His statement marks the first U.S. indication of what weapon had been used. “We see more use of guided munitions, JDAMs, and we continue to provide those weapons,” Kelly said, using an abbreviation that stands for Joint Direct Attack Munitions. “That 2,000-pound bomb that was used, that’s a Mark 84 series bomb, to take out Nasrallah,” he said. The Israeli military said on Saturday it had eliminated Nasrallah in a strike on the group’s central command headquarters in Beirut’s southern suburbs. The Israeli military has declined to comment on what weapons were used in the attack. The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment. JDAMs convert a standard unguided bomb using fins and a GPS guidance system into a guided weapon. AL JAZEERA ADDS: Israel media says about 85 so-called “bunker-buster” bombs were used in the attack on Hasan Nasrallah. Also known as “ground penetration munition”, these missiles burrow deep into the ground before they detonate. They have the power to destroy underground facilities and reinforced concrete buildings.

This savagery prompted Leon Panetta, former director of the CIA and former secretary of defense, in an interview on the CBS “Sunday Morning” news show to charge Israel with “terrorism.” No prominent national security figure has ever assailed Israel this way. Herewith his words: The ability to be able to place an explosive in technology that is very prevalent these days. And turn it into a war of terror. Really, a war of terror. This is something new. I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism…This is going right into the supply chain, right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question, what the hell is next? Panetta would never have uttered these words without the concurrence of the CIA and the Department of Defense. Still no consequences for Netanyahu by the U.S. government. Netanyahu has made the push button a trigger for mayhem and murder—acts of large-scale terrorism. He and his predecessors have always characterized offensive acts violating the laws of war as “acceptable” defensive tactics. The supine Congress and White House regularly rubber-stamp their violations of several U.S. laws on behalf of the Israeli government. (See the letter sent to John Kirby on September 12, 2024). Consider the aftermath. No denunciation by U.S. President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Alarmingly, there were no editorials in the following week criticizing Netanyahu in The Washington Post and The New York Times. Imagine if Hezbollah did this to Israeli society. The devaluation of Palestinian and Lebanese lives can only be called racist. U.S. blowback analysts are apprehensive about the spread of Israeli-style “red button” explosives and the ingenious, and ever-cheaper armed drones. They see such technologies as potential threats within the U.S. Such is the peril of nations whose leaders wage constant profitable, preventable wars and decline to wage muscular peace with comparable determination.

More than 600 people are there, inside the parish and the college, and they tell me about the things that are happening, including the cruelties that are occurring there,” he told journalists. “[D]efense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he added. “When there is something disproportionate, a domineering tendency that goes beyond morality is evident,” the pope said. “A country that, with its forces, does these things—I’m talking about any country—that does these things in such a “superlative” way, these are immoral actions,” he added. “Even in war, there is morality to be safe-guarded. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate some morality. But when this is not respected, you can see—as we say in Argentina—the “bad blood” of these things.” Jared Kushner says Israel must ‘finish the job’ in Lebanon Al Jazeera reports: Jared Kushner, who served as a senior adviser during former US President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, has said calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon is “wrong”. In a post on X, Kushner said Israel “cannot afford now to not finish the job” and dismantle Hezbollah completely.“They will never get another chance. After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned,” said Kushner, who is also the Republican candidate’s son-in-law. He added that the “right move” for the US is to allow Israel to “finish the job. It’s long overdue”. In March, Kushner sparked controversy when he publicly praised the “very valuable potential” of “waterfront property” in Gaza, in comments that gave a window into what Trump’s policy on Palestine could be during his second term. During Trump’s presidency, Kushner played a major role in negotiating the “Abraham Accords”: normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Palestinians slammed the agreements as “a stab in the back of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people”. At one point, Trump’s son-in-law described Gaza as having no historical context – “It was the result of a war – you had tribes that went different places and then Gaza became a thing.” Before leading in the creation of Trump’s so-called Deal of the Century, Kushner claimed his expertise on the subject came from reading 25 books about Palestine. Russian foreign minister urges Israel to abandon ‘essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores’ Anadolu Agency reports: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov urged Israel on Saturday to abandon “essentially terrorist methods of settling political scores” as he commented on the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Lavrov said at a news conference in New York that he had the impression that Israel is trying to provoke Iran and the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, to push the US into direct involvement in the conflict in the Middle East. The Russian diplomat noted that Nasrallah’s murder was not the first provocative step by Israel. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in July in the Iranian capital of Tehran where he went to take part in the funeral of President Ebrahim Raisi. Before that, Israel attacked the Iranian diplomatic mission in the Syrian capital of Damascus. “Apparently, Israel wants to create a reason for the US to get involved in this war. And in order to create this reason, it has been provoking both Iran and Hezbollah. In this situation, Iranian leadership is behaving extremely responsibly,” he said. “I don’t think this is the right course, I am convinced that the bloodshed must be stopped.” Asked about Israel’s willingness to implement UN Security Council resolutions, Lavrov said: “I do not see Israel’s desire to carry out any peace plans.” Lebanese Red Cross teams conducted search and rescue operations in the rubble of collapsed buildings following an Israeli army attack in Nabatieh province of southern Lebanon, on September 27, 2024.

[The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.] This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 719 in the West Bank (~148 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 49,032 Palestinian deaths. Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza. At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 25 from West Bank). At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**. About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced. Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. Palestinian injuries from October 7 – September 29: at least 102,059 (including at least 96,359 in Gaza and 5,700 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.] Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – September 29, 2024: ~1,457 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 293*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 25 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured. The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is 1,640 (104 children, 194 women) and 8,408 injuries. More recently, since September 16, 1,030 have been killed, 6,352 have been injured., with 6,352 injuries, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday, September 28. NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers. *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so. **Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals. ***The figure does not include the reportedly 53 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents. † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

  • Kim Dotcom: I think you are a liar and a fraud Mr. Macron

    Note:

    Telegram founder Pavel Durov has bee jailed for nothing…
    I don’t use Telegram but this is an attack against everyone… Stalin Starmer does the same as little Napoleon as little Hitler and the Bitch Ursula von der Hitler-Leyen.

    This has been going on for far too long.

    So I repost this from Kim Dotcom because he tells it like it is.
    And he speaks from my heart.

    I think you are a liar and a fraud Mr. Macron. The plan to destroy Telegram and arrest Pavel Durov was hedged by the US Govt years ago. You have given him citizenship for the purpose of trapping him in your jurisdiction to persecute him. This entire operation is driven and coordinated by your masters in the US.

    You are a puppet committing treason against your own people and the people of the European Union. The nature of the charges against Pavel gave it all away. Only the unhinged Biden DOJ would come up with such dirty lawfare against a well respected tech innovator and entrepreneur. You are just following orders.

    The US Govt declared war on those parts of the Internet that are not under its control. Anything that is not subject to the US deep state mass surveillance dragnet like its Silicon Valley big tech hostages must be assimilated or destroyed. Megaupload was the beginning, then TikTok, now Telegram and we know who’s next.

    The US Govt is manipulating the western media and user generated platforms to control the narrative in an effort to brainwash the masses.

    Only with mass propaganda could the US Govt execute its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and paint China as a supervillain. All in an effort to stop the expansion of BRICS, the multipolar powerhouse that is crushing the West.

    How inconvenient that Telegram was the major source of truth about what’s really going on in Ukraine, unmasking the evil face of the US proxy war against Russia. Don’t blame Pavel Durov for your own mistakes.

    You and your co-conspirators have failed. It’s over. The multipolar order is winning. US empire is doomed. You partnered with bankrupt fools instead of sophisticated chess players. You must know this by now.

    You turned against your own people. You bet your country on a failing and bankrupt system with an expiry date long overdue. You lost your gamble.

    You have abused your power. That is how you will be remembered when this house of cards comes crashing down on top of you, your co-puppets and your criminal puppeteers. That is your destiny. You should be ashamed.

    If you have any regrets let Pavel go.

    #Free Pavel Durov

    I thank my Friend Jao for this…

    All information is vital.

    Thank you my friend.

    The one reason I never used telegram is because they use your telephone number and as such can triangulate your position.
    Same for Signal.

    What most people do not understand is this:

    Isreal and Unit 8200 create a lot of “Honeypots” which serve two things:

    A) Shield the criminal Jews from prosecution.

    B) Get others alike to be contained and arrested and / or Blackmailed.

    Perfect example the ANOM phone which was sold to criminals but it was a Honeypot.

    “Enter Anom ID” and a password, the screen reads. Hidden in the calculator is a concealed messaging app called Anom, which last month we learned was an FBI honeypot. On Anom, criminals believed they could communicate securely, with the app encrypting their messages. They were wrong: an international group of law enforcement agencies including the FBI were monitoring their messages and announced hundreds of arrests last month. International authorities have held press conferences to tout the operation’s success, but have provided few details on how the phones actually functioned.

  • Official Gaza death toll passes 40,000; over 92,000 injured – Day 312
    [email protected] August 15, 2024 genocide, hatch act, humanitarian aid, israel attacks on schools, israeli settlement, mask ban, minouche shafik, US made weapons, West Bank
    FEWS NTET reports: The amount of humanitarian food supplies entering Gaza through crossings in the south were at their lowest levels in July since Israel’s war on the enclave began.

    The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) said that only 724 humanitarian trucks with food or mixed items entered through the Karem Abu Salem crossing in the entire month of July. They carried roughly 5,035 to 5,566 metric tonnes of supplies.

    A further 54,764 to 60,529 metric tonnes of food supplies carried on commercial trucks also entered through the crossing, but the network said that increased “commercial cargo entry into Gaza may not necessarily translate to improved food availability and access within Gaza, particularly given low household purchasing power”.

    RECOMMENDED READING: This is the truth about “there is no famine in Gaza”

    NOTE: Hundreds of aid trucks are reportedly waiting and spoiling at the southern border of Gaza, where Israel has made it extremely difficult to pass, employing complicated and arbitrary procedures.

    Israel has also attacked food aid convoys and those who accompanied them.

    In mid-March, Israel promised to “flood” Gaza with aid, but has failed to do so.



    Israel has killed 2,100 babies under two in Gaza: Rights monitor

    The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reports that out of nearly 17,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip since October 7, about 2,100 were babies under the age of two.

    “The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate of their killing is unprecedented in the history of modern wars,” says the Geneva-based organization.

    “It also represents a dangerous trend based on the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military targets Palestinians and their children daily, methodically, and widely in the most heinous and brutal ways possible, and virtually without pause for 10 consecutive months.”

    The General Directorate of Civil Defence confirmed the death of firefighter Suhaib Abu Taqiya and Hussein Abu Jamous after they were shot while carrying out their work in Rafah.

    Their deaths bring to 82 the number of civil defense crew members who have been killed since the outbreak of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the directorate added.

    Since the beginning of the Israeli war of genocide, the IOF has targeted dozens of civil defense and ambulance crew members while they were providing services to displaced Palestinians in addition to destroying civil defense facilities and vehicles to prevent rescue and evacuation efforts.

    Israel’s intensifying attacks on Gaza schools

    Al Jazeera reports: Israel has hit more than 500 of Gaza’s 564 schools in the past 10 months. Within a 10-day period in August, Israeli forces struck five schools in Gaza City, killing more than 179 people and injuring scores more.

    Last week, more than 100 people were killed after Israel hit a school in Gaza City sheltering displaced Palestinians. The UN accused Israel of intensifying attacks on schools.

    Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, schools are considered civilian objects and should be protected from attacks.




    West Bank: Israeli occupation forces kill five Palestinians in assault on Tubas

    WAFA reports: Five Palestinians today were killed during the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city of Tubas and the town of Tamoun, southeast of the city.

    Security sources reported that four Palestinians were killed when an Israeli drone bombed a group of young men in the town of Tamoun, southeast of Tubas.

    They also said that the occupation forces withheld the bodies of the four young men after killing them.

    The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that the occupation prevented its crews from reaching the targeted location.

    Meanwhile, the fifth Palestinian was killed after Israeli occupation forces besieged his house in the early morning hours in the city of Tubas.

    Shocking news in OCHA’s weekly report on the West Bank

    Since October 7th, there have been over 100 instances of Palestinian bodies being withheld by Israeli forces.

    In the last week, Israeli settlers perpetrated 25 attacks against Palestinians, while Palestinians perpetrated three attacks against settlers. Between 7 October 2023 and 12 August 2024, OCHA recorded around 1,250 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, of which around 120 led to Palestinian fatalities and injuries.

    On 12 August, Israeli settlers physically assaulted and injured two 15-year-old Palestinian boys near Artas, Bethlehem, attacking them with knives. The settlers assaulted the boys, broke their legs, and urinated on them, then handcuffed the boys and threw them in an open area near Artas. A local resident discovered them and called for an ambulance. The boys were then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

    On 7 August, the Israeli Civil Administration along with Israeli forces dismantled and confiscated three donor-funded tents in the Birin herding community, Hebron governorate. As a result, three families comprising 15 people including 6 children were displaced. The tents had been provided by the Palestinian Authority as a response to a previous demolition that took place on 4 July 2024 in the same area.

    Between 7 October 2023 and 12 August 2024, Israeli authorities demolished, confiscated, or forced the demolition of 1,380 Palestinian structures across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, displacing more than 3,100 Palestinians, including 1,375 children.

    Israeli forces, and in some cases settlers, have killed over 570 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7th, with near total impunity.

    Israel approves new West Bank settlement on UNESCO World Heritage Site near Bethlehem

    The Cradle reports: The Israeli government on 14 August officially approved municipal boundaries for a new settlement on a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

    Jewish supremacist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said his office had “completed its work and published a plan for the new Nahal Heletz settlement in Gush Etzion,” a bloc of settlements south of occupied Jerusalem.

    “No anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist decision will stop the development of settlements. We will continue to fight against the dangerous project of creating a Palestinian state by creating facts on the ground. This is my life’s mission, and I will continue it as much as I can,” the Israeli official, who lives in an illegal settlement, said via social media.

    All of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank occupied since 1967, are considered illegal under international law, regardless of whether they have planning permission or not.

    According to the Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now, the intended area of the new settlement was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. “Smotrich continues to promote de facto annexation, disregarding the UNESCO Convention that Israel is a signatory to, and we will all pay the price,” the organization said in a statement, calling the move by the Civil Administration a “wholesale attack” on an area “renowned for its ancient terraces and sophisticated irrigation systems, evidence of thousands of years of human activity.”

    “These actions are not only fragmenting Palestinian space and depriving large communities of their natural and cultural heritage, but they also pose an imminent threat to an area considered to be of the highest cultural value to humanity,” Peace Now added.

    The Times of Israel reports: “The new settlement will be built on land it says belongs to Battir, home to ancient hillside agricultural terraces that have been designated a world heritage site by UNESCO.”

    NOTE: Israel has illegally built around 280 settlements on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which are home to more than 700,000 illegal settlers. As the ICJ ruling confirms, Israeli settlements and settlers on Palestinian land are a violation of international law, and considered by many Palestinians to be the main barrier to any lasting peace agreement.

    Some settler groups, moreover, have a history of violence against Palestinians, often with the assistance of Israeli military forces.



    Map: Israel attacked ‘nearly every inch of Gaza with US-made bombs’

    Jewish Voice for Peace, a US-based advocacy group, has made a map of the more than 70,000 bombs that Israel has dropped on the Gaza Strip since October 7 using UN satellite data.

    “With the US as its collaborator, the Israeli military is carrying out the goal of Zionism: the complete and total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land,” the group says.

    “The US isn’t just allowing the Israeli government to commit a genocide, it’s actively assisting it. It’s well past time for a weapons embargo. We demand a complete end to US funding, arming, and backing of the state of Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.”

    The Intercept reports (excerpt): In March, Justice Department employee Emma West Rasmus wrote an [extremely powerful, personalized] op-ed criticizing the Biden administration over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

    he next business day, she was accused by senior Justice Department attorneys and ethics officials of violating the Hatch Act. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their “official authority” to engage in certain political activity, especially advocating for or against a particular candidate or political party.

    Five months later, however, the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates Hatch Act violations, determined there was no Hatch Act violation in the first place.

    “Although you engaged in political activity while referencing that you work for the federal government in the op-ed, and specifically the Department of Justice in the byline, these references do not constitute a use of official authority rising to the level of a Hatch Act violation,” reads an August 8 determination letter from OSC.

    West Rasmus, who still works for the Justice Department, says this decision lifted a huge weight off her shoulders, but that the investigation itself “absolutely had a chilling effect” on her and other federal employees trying to galvanize internal dissent on Gaza policy.

    “I always felt like putting the op-ed out there in the way that I did was worth the risk,” she said. “That speaks to how urgently I and other federal employees feel about the need to take actions that we wouldn’t otherwise take.”

    Columbia University president Minouche Shafik resigns in wake of Gaza protests


    Al Jazeera reports: Minouche Shafik, the president of Columbia University, has announced her resignation after a tumultuous year marked by tensions with staff and students over her handling of campus protests against the Gaza war.

    The university announced her departure in a statement on its website on Wednesday.

    “This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community,” Shafik wrote in a letter to the university’s staff and students. “It has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community.”

    Protests against the Gaza war began on Columbia’s New York City campus in April inspiring similar encampments at other institutions across the United States and beyond.

    As the protests gathered momentum, Shafik was summoned to a congressional committee over allegations the university had failed to protect students and staff from rising anti-Semitism.

    The next day, she allowed New York City police onto the campus to clear the protests and about 100 people were arrested, triggering outrage from protesters and some academics and calls for her resignation. Tensions rose further at the end of April, when police returned again to campus, arresting some 300 people and removing the encampment.

    THE GUARDIAN ADDS: Meanwhile, Elise Stefanik, one of the congressional representatives most critical of Shafik’s handling of reports of antisemitism on campus, wrote: “THREE DOWN, so many to go,” adding “after failing to protect Jewish students and negotiating with pro-Hamas terrorists, this forced resignation is long overdue”.


    Sludge reports: Stefanik’s trip to Israel was paid for by the Jewish Policy Center, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that describes its mission as “educat[ing the American public about Israel, foreign affairs and domestic issues of importance to the Jewish community.” The organization spent nearly $48,000 on the trip, including on business-class airfare tickets for the representative and stays at luxury hotels.

    [The Jewish Policy Center has multiple individuals on its board of fellows who have been identified as anti-Muslim hate figures, including Daniel Pipes and David Horowitz.]

    This election cycle, the PAC of lobbying group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has given $284,000 to Stefanik’s campaign in conduit contributions through April 30, placing her in its top 10 recipients among House Republicans.

    New York county signs first mask ban into US law, sparking controversy


    Bruce Blakeman hosts a number of rabbis for a mezuzah instalation at his new office ahead of his inauguration as Nassau County’s first Jewish County Executive on Dec. 31, 2021. The Forward reports: “Blakeman situated himself at the right on issues related to Israel.” (photo)
    The Guardian reports: Nassau county in New York implemented a controversial ban on wearing face coverings in public on Wednesday, in a move criticized by state politicians and civil rights advocates. Opponents of the bill have described it as “a dangerous misuse of the law to score political points and target protesters”, given it was introduced in response to protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.

    The Mask Transparency Act, signed into law by Bruce Blakeman, the Republican county executive, makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to wear a facial covering to hide their identity in public.

    [Vote Smart reports that Blakeman has been a board member of the American Jewish Congress, which advocates for Israel.]

    People who defy the law could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, although there are some exemptions for health or religious reasons.

    Susan Gottehrer, the regional director of the Nassau county New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), said after the bill was passed, “Masks protect people who express political opinions that are unpopular. Making anonymous protest illegal chills political action and is ripe for selective enforcement, leading to doxxing, surveillance and retaliation against protesters.”

    Melbourne orchestra cancels pianist’s performance after he speaks out on Gaza

    Al Jazeera reports: Musician Jayson Gillham was scheduled to perform at Melbourne Town Hall on Thursday, but he was dropped after he discussed the media workers killed in Gaza in a Sunday performance.

    “The killing of journalists is a war crime in international law, and it is done in an effort to prevent the documentation and broadcasting of war crimes to the world,” the musician told the audience, adding that Israel has killed more than 100 journalists since October 7.

    UPDATE FROM VARIETY: The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on Thursday tried to extricate itself from controversy caused by its earlier decision to cancel future performances by Australian-British classical pianist Jayson Gillham.

    “The MSO acknowledges that an error was made in asking Jayson Gillham to step back from his performance on Thursday 15 August,” it said in a new statement.

    STATISTICS OCTOBER 7 – AUGUST 14:

    Palestinian death toll from October 7 – August 14: at least 40,634* (40,005 in Gaza* – 11,445 women (30%), 16,251 children as of July 22. [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]

    This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified – and at least 629 in the West Bank (~145 children). This does not include an estimated 10,000 more still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children). Euro-Med Monitor reports 46,848 Palestinian deaths.

    Lancet: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death9 to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.

    Ralph Nader earlier estimated 200,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.

    At least 45 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons (27 from Gaza, 18 from West Bank).
    At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition**.
    About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
    Almost 500,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
    Palestinian injuries from October 7 – August 14: at least 97,821 (including at least 92,401 in Gaza and 5,420 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how man Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]

    Reported Israeli death toll from October 7 – August 14: ~1,486 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 331 military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza; 16 in the West Bank) and~8,730 injured.

    Times of Israel reports: The IDF listed 41 soldiers killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents – nearly 16%.

    NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries in Israel on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.

    *Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.**

    Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.

    † For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.

The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) said that only 724 humanitarian trucks with food or mixed items entered through the Karem Abu Salem crossing in the entire month of July. They carried roughly 5,035 to 5,566 metric tonnes of supplies. A further 54,764 to 60,529 metric tonnes of food supplies carried on commercial trucks also entered through the crossing, but the network said that increased “commercial cargo entry into Gaza may not necessarily translate to improved food availability and access within Gaza, particularly given low household purchasing power”. RECOMMENDED READING: This is the truth about “there is no famine in Gaza” NOTE: Hundreds of aid trucks are reportedly waiting and spoiling at the southern border of Gaza, where Israel has made it extremely difficult to pass, employing complicated and arbitrary procedures. Israel has also attacked food aid convoys and those who accompanied them. In mid-March, Israel promised to “flood” Gaza with aid, but has failed to do so. Israel has killed 2,100 babies under two in Gaza: Rights monitor The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reports that out of nearly 17,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip since October 7, about 2,100 were babies under the age of two. “The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate of their killing is unprecedented in the history of modern wars,” says the Geneva-based organization. “It also represents a dangerous trend based on the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military targets Palestinians and their children daily, methodically, and widely in the most heinous and brutal ways possible, and virtually without pause for 10 consecutive months.” Palestinian triplets with their mother flee following the Israeli army’s attacks on Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Gaza on March 21, 2024 [Ashraf Amra/Anadolu Agency] Palestinian triplets with their mother flee following the Israeli army’s attacks on Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Gaza on March 21, 2024 [Ashraf Amra/Anadolu Agency] (photo) Israel shoots dead 2 firefighters in Gaza Middle East Monitor reports: Two civil defense crew members were shot dead today by Israeli occupation forces in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Opponents of the bill have described it as “a dangerous misuse of the law to score political points and target protesters”, given it was introduced in response to protests against Israel’s war on Gaza. The Mask Transparency Act, signed into law by Bruce Blakeman, the Republican county executive, makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to wear a facial covering to hide their identity in public. [Vote Smart reports that Blakeman has been a board member of the American Jewish Congress, which advocates for Israel.] People who defy the law could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, although there are some exemptions for health or religious reasons. Susan Gottehrer, the regional director of the Nassau county New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), said after the bill was passed, “Masks protect people who express political opinions that are unpopular. Making anonymous protest illegal chills political action and is ripe for selective enforcement, leading to doxxing, surveillance and retaliation against protesters.” Columbia students protest in support of Palestine on campus on Oct. 12.

  • Growing evidence links Covid-19 injections with neurodegenerative disease
    This includes Alzheimer's and dementia - a moratorium on these genetic injections is long overdue.

    World Council for Health
    Written by World Council for Health steering committee member and Health & Science Lead Christof Plothe DO.

    Alzheimer's disease and dementia already affect every second human on our planet. It is a personal tragedy with gigantic socioeconomic implications. Many people around mod-RNA Covid-injected people have reported personality changes and a decline in cognitive functions in themselves and the people around them. More and more studies linking neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's with mod-RNA Covid-19 injections are being published as I write.

    Usually, for a medication to be licensed, it must first be proven safe, as regards autoimmunity, cancer, and fertility. Strangely, this requirement has not been met for Covid-19 injections, and this year we are seeing an unusual rise in infertility, cancer, autoimmune diseases and now also a growing incidence of symptoms of cognitive decline. Note that this trend began in 2021 when the Covid-19 injections were first rolled out and not 2020, when Covid-19 was declared a pandemic.

    Spike proteins and the blood-brain barrier

    It is well known that spike proteins – produced as a result of mRNA Covid-19 injections – cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially damaging the brain. Several studies have examined this phenomenon and found evidence of spike protein accumulation in the brains of individuals who received Covid-19 shots. For example, a study conducted in May 2023 discovered spike protein presence in the brains of individuals affected by Covid-19 shots, even years after injection (Seneff, 2023). This long-term exposure to spike proteins was associated with neuronal damage. Another study from Spring 2022 (Mörz, 2022) reported the presence of spike protein in the brain of a deceased person who had received the Pfizer/Biontech injections.

    There is, therefore, no longer any reasonable doubt that spike proteins formed in human cells as a result of mod-RNA "vaccination" are able to enter the brain and cause damage there at will.

    Studies showing an increase in neurodegenerative diseases just keep coming

    A recent comprehensive study conducted in South Korea (Roh, 2024) further contributes to the discussion.

    The study randomly assigned half of the population of Seoul, aged 65 years or older, to receive Covid-19 shots and collected data on their well-being. The analysis, based on a large sample size of 558,017 individuals, revealed a significantly increased incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease in those who received mRNA Covid-19 shots compared to the unvaccinated group. The study's findings indicate that individuals who received mRNA Covid-19 shots had a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. This risk increased over time, suggesting the possibility of permanent and compounding damage, and was double the expected incidence after only three months. It thus increased the risk of mild cognitive impairment by 138% and the risk of Alzheimer's by 23%.

    Here are yet more studies indicating neurodegenerative decline after Covid-19 mod-RNA injections:

    A study published in Cureus in 2023 (Seneff, 2023) explored the potential role of the spike protein in neurodegenerative diseases and highlighted cumulative exposure to spike proteins as a risk factor.

    Another study published in the same year (Radomyslsky, 2023) investigated the association between Covid-19 injection and the development of Alzheimer's disease.

    The potential for the production of amyloidogenic protein (Valeria, 2022) – a protein associated with Alzheimer's – was demonstrated in 2022.

    Another paper published in 2023 shows the spontaneous formation of amyloid-like self-assembling nanostructures that might induce protein misfolding or even amyloidosis (Morozova, 2023).

    Ongoing monitoring and investigation into the long-term neurological impacts of these injections are urgently needed and represent another red line that should not be crossed in the experimental use of a novel gene therapy.

    Cognitive decline after Covid infection of "vaccinated" people

    People over 85 with Covid-19 were at significantly increased risk for a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease within 360 days after the initial Covid-19 diagnosis (Wang, 2022). The mechanism of this association has been the topic of numerous studies (Chen, 2022).

    Since several studies have demonstrated a so-called class switch of antibodies to ineffective IgG4 antibodies following “vaccination” (Irrgang, 2023; Kalkeri, 2024), people are left with a weakened defence against a new Covid-19 infection. Many reports describe a sudden and immediate worsening of Alzheimer's symptoms in the Covid-19 "vaccinated" after another acute infection. Often, this will be labeled Covid-19-induced, but instead, it seems to be the result of a weakened immune system incapable of clearing the viral infection as a result of Covid-19 injections.

    Conclusion: stop the injections, now

    In conclusion, evidence suggests an association between mRNA Covid-19 injections and the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have shown the ability of spike proteins to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause damage to the brain. Additionally, comprehensive research from South Korea found an increased incidence of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease in individuals who received mRNA Covid-19 shots. Given that 70% of the world's population has been injected with some form of Covid-19 gene therapy injections, an immediate moratorium should be implemented.

  • The Rothschild Deep State Cabal Is Imploding
    Jonas E. Alexis, Senior EditorFebruary 23, 2024

    VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel

    $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts
    Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State.

    Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

    Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776

    That same momentous year that kicked off the American Revolution, 1776 was also the year that ex-Jesuit Adam Weishaupt in Bavaria founded his Illuminati Order, sponsored by Mayer Amschel Rothschild as House of Rothschild patriarch in nearby Frankfurt, Germany. And it was America’s third US President Thomas Jefferson, who refused renewal of the Rothschild controlled First Bank of America’s charter in 1811. The American Revolution may have been fought for independence from King George’s British monarchy, but not independence from the Rothschild central banking cartel, whose controlling 70% foreign interests in First Bank of America indebted America’s earliest citizens. At the end of George Washington’s eight years as first US president, in 1791 the federalist Rothschild agent Alexander Hamilton installed for the Rothschilds their First Bank of America.

    Not renewing its charter, Jefferson kicked the Rothschild owned bank out of the US, which became the basis for America’s first war as a sovereign independent country, once again facing the same British enemy in the War of 1812. This war fought over financial independence from Britain’s City of London, only caused young America to drown further in war debt, as Nathan Rothschild backing both sides to every conflict he creates was determined to bankrupt the US to force it into recolonization. Despite the hard-fought American military victory, by 1815 with the US war debt nearly tripled at $119.2 million in the red, America financially was already a major debtor nation owing the infamous bloodline banking dynasty. That same year, making a colossal fortune over the Battle of Waterloo outcome by pre-rigging his investment, the gloating crook Nathan Rothschild proclaimed:

    I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.

    Sadly, America’s War of 1812 struggle for financial independence from the Rothschild controllers was lost. A brief excerpt from my Pedophilia & Empire series, Book 3, chapter one on the Rothschild family:

    In 1816 with yet a Second Bank of the United States foisted on American citizens for the next 20 years, in effect, Rothschild was simply seizing his predatory ownership of the United States. And once again, private control over the US money supply tacking on parasitic interest went into the coffers of as many as 1000 foreign investors, with [Nathan’s younger brother] Baron James de Rothschild in Paris holding the controlling shares.

    When the Second Bank of America’s charter was up for renewal 20 years later in 1836, that year Nathan Rothschild died. But France’s James de Rothschild assuming control over both the London and Paris banking branches, battled playing dirty as usual for charter renewal. He met his match as the resolute, feisty President Andrew Jackson was up for the challenge, declaring war on the House of Rothschild:

    You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by eternal God, I will rout you out.

    President Jackson’s turn to oppose the centralized moneychangers ultimately proved successful, kicking the Rothschilds out of America yet again, and the second British dynasty US takeover was again foiled, at least temporarily. However, the year prior in 1835, amidst the battle over the US private central bank, Jackson barely dodged a bullet to literally escape an assassination attempt attributed to Rothschild wrath. From 1836 to 1913, the US was largely free of the treacherous Rothschild leeches from Europe, signifying America’s longest period of foremost economic growth and prosperity in its entire history.

    Having acquired central banking control over Europe and through Nathan Rothschild’s ownership of the Bank of England by early 19th century, the British East India Company monopoly over international trade, including both the drug and slave trade, spanned the globe from Africa, the Indian and Pacific Oceans to North America and Europe, the flourishing international banking cartel consolidated its growing global money lending power over every commercial trade on every continent. But one vast sprawling nation covering two continents over the centuries resisted and eluded the Rothschild clutches. As a result, Russia was repeatedly targeted, as its ruling Romanov monarchy managed to successfully evade the Rothschild predatory conquest, but not without murderous retribution. From author Eustice Mullens’ New World Order:

    After the fall of Napoleon, the Rothschilds turned all their hatred against the Romanovs. In 1825, they poisoned Alexander I; in 1855, they poisoned Nicholas I. Other assassinations followed, culminating on the night of November 6, 1917, when a dozen Red Guards drove a truck up to the Imperial Bank Building in Moscow. They loaded the Imperial jewel collection and $700 million gold, loot totaling more than a billion dollars. The new regime also confiscated the 150 million acres in Russia personally owned by the Czar.

    In addition to a century of assassinating Romanov czars by poison, when Czar Alexander II came to the aid of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, which by many accounts attribute Russian support to preserving the Union, the vindictive Rothschild cartel as primary backer of the Confederacy, vowed eternal revenge against the Russia and its royal family. The Rothschilds et al’s war at all cost against Russia today in Ukraine is merely this same long legacy’s outcome.

    Just prior to the Rothschilds’ planned First World War in 1914, a few months earlier in late 1913, they deceptively snuck through Congress their Federal Reserve Act on December 23rd, after most members had already left on Christmas break. The Jekyll Island rendezvous of the Fed Reserve architects included Paul Warburg, the German born chief central banking Rothschild agent moved to the US, ending up the second Vice Fed chairman. Continuity of one thought mind pervades the Warburg clan as Paul’s son James Paul Warburg before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1950 emphatically declared:

    We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.

    Thus, the third Rothschild central private bank in America was established to take permanent full usury-debtor system control over the US money supply, through bribery of Washington’s political puppet class, and the American people through their engineered debtor system. 1913 also saw the passage of the Federal Income Tax Act, illegally squeezing tax dollars to rip off hardworking US citizens just to pay off debt interests from all the bankers’ war loans. This vicious control cycle is how Khazarian mafia swindlers have cunningly operated since their identity snatching days of their ancient Khazar kingdom over a millennium ago.

    The Rothschild central banking controllers hired one of their own, distant cousin Karl Marx to write his Marxist Communist Manifesto in 1848. And it was the Rothschild cartel money along with Rothschild agent Jacob Schiff in America that financed his fellow Jews’ Bolshevik Revolution and their plotted murder and theft of Russian Czar Nicholas II’s family in 1917. And that billion plus of stolen Russian gold is said to have wound up stored in Rothschild’s underground chambers at City of London’s Bank of England. A centuries long pattern of covert deception, murder, war, corruption and insatiable appetite for greed and increasing power characterize all that is behind today’s still operating Khazarian mafia bankster dynasty rooted in ancient Khazar more than a millennium ago. Closer to this century historically, one world government tyranny and depopulation eugenics have both reflected the elites’ obsession.

    Rothschild crimes funded all three of the most bloodthirsty dictators in all of human history. The 1917 Russian Revolution spawned the rise of the Lenin-Stalin Communist Soviet Union democide, killing 66 million mostly Christian Russians. Then, since the early 1930s, in addition to Bush, Rothschild and Rockefeller bloodlines also funded the rise of Adolph Hitler. His alleged sacrifice of 6 million Jews in WWII was used coldheartedly as Zionist bargaining chips for the non-Hebrew Ashkenazim false claim of “Israelite birthright” to a homeland in Palestine, promised to Lord Lionel Rothschild in the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Three decades later, the pledge was fulfilled with the establishment of the Jewish State. Despite a non-Hebrew heritage, Ashkenazi [non]Jews that trace back originally to nomadic Turkic tribes, comprise 90% of today’s Israeli population.

    The Balfour Declaration also made another pledge:

    …Nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.

    The Jewish State since its 1948 inception, that’s the last three quarters of a century now, has brutally pushed out the true Semite Arabs living in Palestine, their rightful ancient homeland, yet they’ve been systematically destroyed by Israel’s official genocidal apartheid policy. This fact is neither anti-Semitic nor what should be allowed or tolerated by rest of the world, yet with impunity, it has for far too long. This shameful reality is largely due to the Zionist House of Rothschild’s influence and control over Israel.

    Also in the 1930s, the Rothschilds groomed and backed yet another notorious Yale educated dictator Mao Zedong, also covertly supporting his democide against 65 million of his own sacrificed fellow Chinese. Over the centuries, you can recognize a pattern, that these Luciferian bloodline controllers led by the likes of the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties, have had ample practice committing genocides, financing the rise to power of all three dictators responsible for the deadliest genocides in all of history on this planet… that is, until the current unprecedented genocide against today’s human race.

    In 1933 the globalists of the day attempted the first major coup against the United States government in a failed attempt to overthrew the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, singlehandedly prevented by the Medal of Honor and most decorated war hero US Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler. His intervention stopped the plotted criminal takeover, exposing it publicly in the press in 1934 as well as in his book. And though his courageous actions successfully averted the treasonous subversion committed by some of America’s wealthiest, most powerful conspiratorial traitors as captains of industry, bankers and politicians, among them heir to the Singer Sewing fortune Robert Sterling Clark and George HW Bush’s father, Prescott Bush, during WWII as a Union Banking Corp. director, Bush’s company was linked to financing, aiding and abetting the US Nazi enemy Adolph Hitler, yet his shockingly treasonous past was covered up and he was sent to the US Senate from Connecticut. Of course, the Bush-Clinton crime families are notorious for getting away with multiple felonies of high treason. Pedophile George Bush senior was implicated in America’s largest publicly exposed child sex trafficking network, tagged the “Franklin scandal” involving Nebraska children some from Catholic Boys Town directly trafficked to the White House during the Reagan-Bush administrations.

    While the Bush crime family are Satanists, their fellow Satanist arrested in this scandal coverup was fall guy Lawrence E. King, though the entire operation was quickly swept under the carpet as ringleader King aided by the likes of Satanist Lt. Col. Michael Aquino hotel drop-off of a cash filled suitcase to King. Like Epstein, Lawrence King was also handed a sweetheart deal with next to no jailtime considering his ungodly crimes. Of course, Aquino always walked free despite being linked to multiple pedo-scandals, protected by his military status high up in America’s MK mind control operation, identified by a number of child victims at the Presidio daycare scandal as well as implicated by Cathy O’Brien as a MK-ultra top programmer. America’s highest-profile pedophile-child sex trafficker is supposedly deceased, Jeffrey Epstein, while his gal pal partner-in-crime Guislaine Maxwell serves her 20-year sentence in a Florida federal penitentiary.

    Whereas the Franklin scandal incriminates the Bush crime family, both the Epstein-Maxwell operation and Pizzagate scandal expose the Rothschild, Clinton, Podesta, Obama, Biden crime families, including Donald Trump touting what “a terrific guy” Epstein was to 2004 New York Magazine, adding how he loves “the young ones,” wink, wink. The fact is, America’s uniparty is infested with hundreds of compromised famous pedophiles and gatekeeping enablers still walking free, despite the tons of cameras capturing the crimes as evidence. Outside of King, Epstein and Maxwell, zero arrests and prosecutions of any prominent guilty pedo-criminals including British, Belgian, and Dutch royalty, prime ministers and presidents, as well as billionaire criminals like Bill Gates, hundreds, perhaps thousands of these blackmailed VIP politicians, judges, police chiefs, generals, CEOs, bankers and entertainers, all guilty of horrific child sex abuse crimes have yet to face their unholiest of unholy karma.

    Multiple chapters in Pedophilia & Empire Book 4 unravel the US pedo-scourge and other scandals throughout the world in the other books. The New World Order, secret societies and the global pedophilia network generating enormous black ops revenue involving colossal amounts of money laundering by all Rothschild private central banks, are explicitly intertwined and fully documented in the five volume series with access to all 50 plus chapters here.

    Because so much accelerated shocking truth is coming out weekly, with a one in 6 billion chance of so many disastrous chemical spill derailments all at once, manmade earthquakes punishing nations aligned with Russia, all are only further incriminating the bloodline controllers and their puppet minions at the highest echelons of Western power. The reason why the Ukraine war is so huge right now, carrying so much at stake, is because the entire New World Order’s one world government scheme is riding on the bloodline controllers’ defeat by Russia in Ukraine as their longtime “devil’s playground” hub gets further exposed to the global public. With all these bloodline criminals vis-à-vis the Rothschild dynasty atop this predatory food chain, busily bribing, blackmailing, and silencing facts and truthtellers through any and all means necessary, it’s to ensure that their psychopathic club of elites remains unreachable and immune from all prosecution and long overdue justice. They know more than enough criminal evidence is out there in the public domain to convict these genocidal killers for their unending crimes and they know that We the People are closing in on them. And because of this, the monstrous beasts are willing to unleash nuclear Armageddon. We are living through epic times, and though millions have already perished and perhaps billions more will follow, in this war between good and evil, we have them on the run, rushing like cockroaches for the cover of darkness. But armed and united by the truth, justice will be done.

    As a consequence of the covert subversive overthrow of the United States government taking place in recent years, both the complete absence of rule of law and rampant treasonous failure to uphold the US Constitution, currently has Americans and people around the world waking up in righteous anger by the thousands every single day. Our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson bestowed fundamental rights of liberty and freedom to every citizen, granting us clear-cut legal justification and guidelines to, in his words, “abolish” the illegitimate treasonous regime occupying Washington today. Taking into account the US government’s repeated terrorist acts constituting democide against its own American citizenry as well as having committed acts of war against US closest allies like Germany via the Nord Stream sabotage, the Biden regime’s intent to destroy both America and West must be opposed immediately.

    A growing majority of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance as imposter president, more so than any previous president in US modern history during the entire 78 years of presidential poll ratings. After the US Supreme Court declined the Brunson case out of Utah last month for a second time this year, the longshot effort to hold the vast majority of Congress accountable for illegally ratifying a fraudulent, rigged 2020 election has been thwarted. All three branches of government – the executive, legislative and judiciary, have systemically failed Americans by repeatedly violating the US Constitution in clear breech of their sworn oaths to uphold and defend. All three branches have committed treason for destroying our nation through reckless, willful crimes endangering both the American as well as global population, targeted for extermination by the elites. Nuremberg 2.0 needs to immediately be invoked for mass tribunal trials of multitudes of genocidal traitors determined to impose their diabolical, exposed depopulation agenda on humanity.

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the president that vowed to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces,” reduce the power of the Federal Reserve and avert a decade long costly war in Vietnam, set the stage for the Deep State to fester and thrive ever since November 22, 1963. Every US president ever since has been a mere puppet for bloodline controllers to rape the earth and humanity in the name of the military industrial security Big Pharma complex. In this century the Khazarian mafia infested and controlled international criminal cabal manufactured their “new Pearl Harbor” 9/11, an Israeli-neocon grand Satanic blood sacrifice after the prewritten Patriot Act straight out of the dialectical “problem, reaction, solution” con-game playbook intended to strip away all Americans’ constitutional rights, a lose-lose our less freedom for less security and win-win for the Satanists, thinly disguised as collateral damage behind their fabricated war on terror against Muslim terrorists they create, train and finance as fake proxy war US enemies, supplementing their ongoing “war on drugs” to destroy African American families for the prison security complex, then when convenient again switch the revolving “enemy” back to the Russians and Chinese in Cold War #2 to drive humanity off the Armageddon cliff with today’s nuclear World War III countdown.

    And now along with the threat of a mushroom cloud, their enemy target today expands to a genocidal war against the entire human species with their fake pandemic/killer jab’s malevolent agenda to destroy national sovereignty via the United Nations’ World Health Organization, subversively imposing more fake or deadly health emergencies possessing an unlimited bioweapon arsenal bringing more draconian lockdowns, more killer mandates, along with their 15-minute smart cities control grid prison enslavement, planetwide mass surveillance, Chinese modeled social credit scores freezing dissidents’ bank accounts requiring digital ID approval and cashless World Bank Digital Currency, all part of their “Great Reset.”

    The globalists’ wet dream is our never-ending nightmare of absolute myopic control over the culled down, beaten down, traumatized, lobotomized population of jabbed, DNA altered, group hived, AI mind-controlled cyborg survivors. This is our bleak Lucifer controlled future if we remain weak, passive, defeated and ignorant. Activism is growing in a planetwide movement protesting against the Ukraine debacle along with the price inflation, smart cities and World Economic Forum’s enslavement. Legal challenges against the technocratic tyranny, the genocide, the wokist insanity. Our enemy is on notice and no doubt will be unleashing more false flags and WMDs at us, but the momentum of growing resistance and opposition is mobilizing for the long war.

    The Rothschild Deep State Cabal Is Imploding Jonas E. Alexis, Senior EditorFebruary 23, 2024 VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contracts Source: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, 1776 That same momentous year that kicked off the American Revolution, 1776 was also the year that ex-Jesuit Adam Weishaupt in Bavaria founded his Illuminati Order, sponsored by Mayer Amschel Rothschild as House of Rothschild patriarch in nearby Frankfurt, Germany. And it was America’s third US President Thomas Jefferson, who refused renewal of the Rothschild controlled First Bank of America’s charter in 1811. The American Revolution may have been fought for independence from King George’s British monarchy, but not independence from the Rothschild central banking cartel, whose controlling 70% foreign interests in First Bank of America indebted America’s earliest citizens. At the end of George Washington’s eight years as first US president, in 1791 the federalist Rothschild agent Alexander Hamilton installed for the Rothschilds their First Bank of America. Not renewing its charter, Jefferson kicked the Rothschild owned bank out of the US, which became the basis for America’s first war as a sovereign independent country, once again facing the same British enemy in the War of 1812. This war fought over financial independence from Britain’s City of London, only caused young America to drown further in war debt, as Nathan Rothschild backing both sides to every conflict he creates was determined to bankrupt the US to force it into recolonization. Despite the hard-fought American military victory, by 1815 with the US war debt nearly tripled at $119.2 million in the red, America financially was already a major debtor nation owing the infamous bloodline banking dynasty. That same year, making a colossal fortune over the Battle of Waterloo outcome by pre-rigging his investment, the gloating crook Nathan Rothschild proclaimed: I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply. Sadly, America’s War of 1812 struggle for financial independence from the Rothschild controllers was lost. A brief excerpt from my Pedophilia & Empire series, Book 3, chapter one on the Rothschild family: In 1816 with yet a Second Bank of the United States foisted on American citizens for the next 20 years, in effect, Rothschild was simply seizing his predatory ownership of the United States. And once again, private control over the US money supply tacking on parasitic interest went into the coffers of as many as 1000 foreign investors, with [Nathan’s younger brother] Baron James de Rothschild in Paris holding the controlling shares. When the Second Bank of America’s charter was up for renewal 20 years later in 1836, that year Nathan Rothschild died. But France’s James de Rothschild assuming control over both the London and Paris banking branches, battled playing dirty as usual for charter renewal. He met his match as the resolute, feisty President Andrew Jackson was up for the challenge, declaring war on the House of Rothschild: You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by eternal God, I will rout you out. President Jackson’s turn to oppose the centralized moneychangers ultimately proved successful, kicking the Rothschilds out of America yet again, and the second British dynasty US takeover was again foiled, at least temporarily. However, the year prior in 1835, amidst the battle over the US private central bank, Jackson barely dodged a bullet to literally escape an assassination attempt attributed to Rothschild wrath. From 1836 to 1913, the US was largely free of the treacherous Rothschild leeches from Europe, signifying America’s longest period of foremost economic growth and prosperity in its entire history. Having acquired central banking control over Europe and through Nathan Rothschild’s ownership of the Bank of England by early 19th century, the British East India Company monopoly over international trade, including both the drug and slave trade, spanned the globe from Africa, the Indian and Pacific Oceans to North America and Europe, the flourishing international banking cartel consolidated its growing global money lending power over every commercial trade on every continent. But one vast sprawling nation covering two continents over the centuries resisted and eluded the Rothschild clutches. As a result, Russia was repeatedly targeted, as its ruling Romanov monarchy managed to successfully evade the Rothschild predatory conquest, but not without murderous retribution. From author Eustice Mullens’ New World Order: After the fall of Napoleon, the Rothschilds turned all their hatred against the Romanovs. In 1825, they poisoned Alexander I; in 1855, they poisoned Nicholas I. Other assassinations followed, culminating on the night of November 6, 1917, when a dozen Red Guards drove a truck up to the Imperial Bank Building in Moscow. They loaded the Imperial jewel collection and $700 million gold, loot totaling more than a billion dollars. The new regime also confiscated the 150 million acres in Russia personally owned by the Czar. In addition to a century of assassinating Romanov czars by poison, when Czar Alexander II came to the aid of Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, which by many accounts attribute Russian support to preserving the Union, the vindictive Rothschild cartel as primary backer of the Confederacy, vowed eternal revenge against the Russia and its royal family. The Rothschilds et al’s war at all cost against Russia today in Ukraine is merely this same long legacy’s outcome. Just prior to the Rothschilds’ planned First World War in 1914, a few months earlier in late 1913, they deceptively snuck through Congress their Federal Reserve Act on December 23rd, after most members had already left on Christmas break. The Jekyll Island rendezvous of the Fed Reserve architects included Paul Warburg, the German born chief central banking Rothschild agent moved to the US, ending up the second Vice Fed chairman. Continuity of one thought mind pervades the Warburg clan as Paul’s son James Paul Warburg before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1950 emphatically declared: We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest. Thus, the third Rothschild central private bank in America was established to take permanent full usury-debtor system control over the US money supply, through bribery of Washington’s political puppet class, and the American people through their engineered debtor system. 1913 also saw the passage of the Federal Income Tax Act, illegally squeezing tax dollars to rip off hardworking US citizens just to pay off debt interests from all the bankers’ war loans. This vicious control cycle is how Khazarian mafia swindlers have cunningly operated since their identity snatching days of their ancient Khazar kingdom over a millennium ago. The Rothschild central banking controllers hired one of their own, distant cousin Karl Marx to write his Marxist Communist Manifesto in 1848. And it was the Rothschild cartel money along with Rothschild agent Jacob Schiff in America that financed his fellow Jews’ Bolshevik Revolution and their plotted murder and theft of Russian Czar Nicholas II’s family in 1917. And that billion plus of stolen Russian gold is said to have wound up stored in Rothschild’s underground chambers at City of London’s Bank of England. A centuries long pattern of covert deception, murder, war, corruption and insatiable appetite for greed and increasing power characterize all that is behind today’s still operating Khazarian mafia bankster dynasty rooted in ancient Khazar more than a millennium ago. Closer to this century historically, one world government tyranny and depopulation eugenics have both reflected the elites’ obsession. Rothschild crimes funded all three of the most bloodthirsty dictators in all of human history. The 1917 Russian Revolution spawned the rise of the Lenin-Stalin Communist Soviet Union democide, killing 66 million mostly Christian Russians. Then, since the early 1930s, in addition to Bush, Rothschild and Rockefeller bloodlines also funded the rise of Adolph Hitler. His alleged sacrifice of 6 million Jews in WWII was used coldheartedly as Zionist bargaining chips for the non-Hebrew Ashkenazim false claim of “Israelite birthright” to a homeland in Palestine, promised to Lord Lionel Rothschild in the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Three decades later, the pledge was fulfilled with the establishment of the Jewish State. Despite a non-Hebrew heritage, Ashkenazi [non]Jews that trace back originally to nomadic Turkic tribes, comprise 90% of today’s Israeli population. The Balfour Declaration also made another pledge: …Nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine. The Jewish State since its 1948 inception, that’s the last three quarters of a century now, has brutally pushed out the true Semite Arabs living in Palestine, their rightful ancient homeland, yet they’ve been systematically destroyed by Israel’s official genocidal apartheid policy. This fact is neither anti-Semitic nor what should be allowed or tolerated by rest of the world, yet with impunity, it has for far too long. This shameful reality is largely due to the Zionist House of Rothschild’s influence and control over Israel. Also in the 1930s, the Rothschilds groomed and backed yet another notorious Yale educated dictator Mao Zedong, also covertly supporting his democide against 65 million of his own sacrificed fellow Chinese. Over the centuries, you can recognize a pattern, that these Luciferian bloodline controllers led by the likes of the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties, have had ample practice committing genocides, financing the rise to power of all three dictators responsible for the deadliest genocides in all of history on this planet… that is, until the current unprecedented genocide against today’s human race. In 1933 the globalists of the day attempted the first major coup against the United States government in a failed attempt to overthrew the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, singlehandedly prevented by the Medal of Honor and most decorated war hero US Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler. His intervention stopped the plotted criminal takeover, exposing it publicly in the press in 1934 as well as in his book. And though his courageous actions successfully averted the treasonous subversion committed by some of America’s wealthiest, most powerful conspiratorial traitors as captains of industry, bankers and politicians, among them heir to the Singer Sewing fortune Robert Sterling Clark and George HW Bush’s father, Prescott Bush, during WWII as a Union Banking Corp. director, Bush’s company was linked to financing, aiding and abetting the US Nazi enemy Adolph Hitler, yet his shockingly treasonous past was covered up and he was sent to the US Senate from Connecticut. Of course, the Bush-Clinton crime families are notorious for getting away with multiple felonies of high treason. Pedophile George Bush senior was implicated in America’s largest publicly exposed child sex trafficking network, tagged the “Franklin scandal” involving Nebraska children some from Catholic Boys Town directly trafficked to the White House during the Reagan-Bush administrations.

Of course, Aquino always walked free despite being linked to multiple pedo-scandals, protected by his military status high up in America’s MK mind control operation, identified by a number of child victims at the Presidio daycare scandal as well as implicated by Cathy O’Brien as a MK-ultra top programmer. America’s highest-profile pedophile-child sex trafficker is supposedly deceased, Jeffrey Epstein, while his gal pal partner-in-crime Guislaine Maxwell serves her 20-year sentence in a Florida federal penitentiary. Whereas the Franklin scandal incriminates the Bush crime family, both the Epstein-Maxwell operation and Pizzagate scandal expose the Rothschild, Clinton, Podesta, Obama, Biden crime families, including Donald Trump touting what “a terrific guy” Epstein was to 2004 New York Magazine, adding how he loves “the young ones,” wink, wink. The fact is, America’s uniparty is infested with hundreds of compromised famous pedophiles and gatekeeping enablers still walking free, despite the tons of cameras capturing the crimes as evidence. Outside of King, Epstein and Maxwell, zero arrests and prosecutions of any prominent guilty pedo-criminals including British, Belgian, and Dutch royalty, prime ministers and presidents, as well as billionaire criminals like Bill Gates, hundreds, perhaps thousands of these blackmailed VIP politicians, judges, police chiefs, generals, CEOs, bankers and entertainers, all guilty of horrific child sex abuse crimes have yet to face their unholiest of unholy karma. Multiple chapters in Pedophilia & Empire Book 4 unravel the US pedo-scourge and other scandals throughout the world in the other books. The New World Order, secret societies and the global pedophilia network generating enormous black ops revenue involving colossal amounts of money laundering by all Rothschild private central banks, are explicitly intertwined and fully documented in the five volume series with access to all 50 plus chapters here. Because so much accelerated shocking truth is coming out weekly, with a one in 6 billion chance of so many disastrous chemical spill derailments all at once, manmade earthquakes punishing nations aligned with Russia, all are only further incriminating the bloodline controllers and their puppet minions at the highest echelons of Western power. The reason why the Ukraine war is so huge right now, carrying so much at stake, is because the entire New World Order’s one world government scheme is riding on the bloodline controllers’ defeat by Russia in Ukraine as their longtime “devil’s playground” hub gets further exposed to the global public.

All three branches of government – the executive, legislative and judiciary, have systemically failed Americans by repeatedly violating the US Constitution in clear breech of their sworn oaths to uphold and defend. All three branches have committed treason for destroying our nation through reckless, willful crimes endangering both the American as well as global population, targeted for extermination by the elites. Nuremberg 2.0 needs to immediately be invoked for mass tribunal trials of multitudes of genocidal traitors determined to impose their diabolical, exposed depopulation agenda on humanity. The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the president that vowed to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces,” reduce the power of the Federal Reserve and avert a decade long costly war in Vietnam, set the stage for the Deep State to fester and thrive ever since November 22, 1963. Every US president ever since has been a mere puppet for bloodline controllers to rape the earth and humanity in the name of the military industrial security Big Pharma complex. In this century the Khazarian mafia infested and controlled international criminal cabal manufactured their “new Pearl Harbor” 9/11, an Israeli-neocon grand Satanic blood sacrifice after the prewritten Patriot Act straight out of the dialectical “problem, reaction, solution” con-game playbook intended to strip away all Americans’ constitutional rights, a lose-lose our less freedom for less security and win-win for the Satanists, thinly disguised as collateral damage behind their fabricated war on terror against Muslim terrorists they create, train and finance as fake proxy war US enemies, supplementing their ongoing “war on drugs” to destroy African American families for the prison security complex, then when convenient again switch the revolving “enemy” back to the Russians and Chinese in Cold War #2 to drive humanity off the Armageddon cliff with today’s nuclear World War III countdown. And now along with the threat of a mushroom cloud, their enemy target today expands to a genocidal war against the entire human species with their fake pandemic/killer jab’s malevolent agenda to destroy national sovereignty via the United Nations’ World Health Organization, subversively imposing more fake or deadly health emergencies possessing an unlimited bioweapon arsenal bringing more draconian lockdowns, more killer mandates, along with their 15-minute smart cities control grid prison enslavement, planetwide mass surveillance, Chinese modeled social credit scores freezing dissidents’ bank accounts requiring digital ID approval and cashless World Bank Digital Currency, all part of their “Great Reset.” The globalists’ wet dream is our never-ending nightmare of absolute myopic control over the culled down, beaten down, traumatized, lobotomized population of jabbed, DNA altered, group hived, AI mind-controlled cyborg survivors. This is our bleak Lucifer controlled future if we remain weak, passive, defeated and ignorant. Activism is growing in a planetwide movement protesting against the Ukraine debacle along with the price inflation, smart cities and World Economic Forum’s enslavement. Legal challenges against the technocratic tyranny, the genocide, the wokist insanity. Our enemy is on notice and no doubt will be unleashing more false flags and WMDs at us, but the momentum of growing resistance and opposition is mobilizing for the long war.

  • The U.S. government is poised to withdraw longstanding warnings about cholesterol
    Peter Whoriskey

    Time to put eggs back on the menu? (Deb Lindsey for The Washington Post)
    The nation’s top nutrition advisory panel has decided to drop its caution about eating cholesterol-laden food, a move that could undo almost 40 years of government warnings about its consumption.

    The group’s finding that cholesterol in the diet need no longer be considered a “nutrient of concern” stands in contrast to the committee’s findings five years ago, the last time it convened. During those proceedings, as in previous years, the panel deemed the issue of excess cholesterol in the American diet a public health concern.

    The finding follows an evolution of thinking among many nutritionists who now believe that, for healthy adults, eating foods high in cholesterol may not significantly affect the level of cholesterol in the blood or increase the risk of heart disease.

    Story continues below advertisement

    The greater danger in this regard, these experts believe, lies not in products such as eggs, shrimp or lobster, which are high in cholesterol, but in too many servings of foods heavy with saturated fats, such as fatty meats, whole milk, and butter.

    [Scientists have figured out what makes Indian food so delicious]

    The new view on cholesterol in food does not reverse warnings about high levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood, which have been linked to heart disease. Moreover, some experts warned that people with particular health problems, such as diabetes, should continue to avoid cholesterol-rich diets.

    While Americans may be accustomed to conflicting dietary advice, the change on cholesterol comes from the influential Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, the group that provides the scientific basis for the “Dietary Guidelines.” That federal publication has broad effects on the American diet, helping to determine the content of school lunches, affecting how food manufacturers advertise their wares, and serving as the foundation for reams of diet advice.

    The panel laid out the cholesterol decision in December, at its last meeting before it writes a report that will serve as the basis for the next version of the guidelines. A video of the meeting was later posted online and a person with direct knowledge of the proceedings said the cholesterol finding would make it to the group’s final report, which is due within weeks.

    After Marian Neuhouser, chair of the relevant subcommittee, announced the decision to the panel at the December meeting, one panelist appeared to bridle.

    “So we’re not making a [cholesterol] recommendation?” panel member Miriam Nelson, a Tufts University professor, said at the meeting as if trying to absorb the thought. “Okay ... Bummer.”

    Story continues below advertisement

    Members of the panel, called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, said they would not comment until the publication of their report, which will be filed with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture.

    [Here’s what the government’s dietary guidelines should really say]

    While those agencies could ignore the committee’s recommendations, major deviations are not common, experts said.

    Five years ago, “I don’t think the Dietary Guidelines diverged from the committee’s report,” said Naomi K. Fukagawa, a University of Vermont professor who served as the committee’s vice chair in 2010. Fukagawa said she supports the change on cholesterol.

    Story continues below advertisement

    Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, also called the turnaround on cholesterol a “reasonable move.”

    “There’s been a shift of thinking,” he said.

    But the change on dietary cholesterol also shows how the complexity of nutrition science and the lack of definitive research can contribute to confusion for Americans who, while seeking guidance on what to eat, often find themselves afloat in conflicting advice.

    Cholesterol has been a fixture in dietary warnings in the United States at least since 1961, when it appeared in guidelines developed by the American Heart Association. Later adopted by the federal government, such warnings helped shift eating habits -- per capita egg consumption dropped about 30 percent -- and harmed egg farmers.

    Story continues below advertisement

    Yet even today, after more than a century of scientific inquiry, scientists are divided.

    Some nutritionists said lifting the cholesterol warning is long overdue, noting that the United States is out-of-step with other countries, where diet guidelines do not single out cholesterol. Others support maintaining a warning.

    The forthcoming version of the Dietary Guidelines -- the document is revised every five years -- is expected to navigate myriad similar controversies. Among them: salt, red meat, sugar, saturated fats and the latest darling of food-makers, Omega-3s.

    As with cholesterol, the dietary panel’s advice on these issues will be used by the federal bureaucrats to draft the new guidelines, which offer Americans clear instructions -- and sometimes very specific, down-to-the-milligram prescriptions. But such precision can mask sometimes tumultuous debates about nutrition.

    Story continues below advertisement

    “Almost every single nutrient imaginable has peer reviewed publications associating it with almost any outcome,” John P.A. Ioannidis, a professor of medicine and statistics at Stanford and one of the harshest critics of nutritional science, has written. “In this literature of epidemic proportions, how many results are correct?”

    Now comes the shift on cholesterol.

    Even as contrary evidence has emerged over the years, the campaign against dietary cholesterol has continued. In 1994, food-makers were required to report cholesterol values on the nutrition label. In 2010, with the publication of the most recent “Dietary Guidelines,” the experts again focused on the problem of "excess dietary cholesterol."

    Story continues below advertisement

    Yet many have viewed the evidence against cholesterol as weak, at best. As late as 2013, a task force arranged by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association looked at the dietary cholesterol studies. The group found that there was “insufficient evidence” to make a recommendation. Many of the studies that had been done, the task force said, were too broad to single out cholesterol.

    “Looking back at the literature, we just couldn’t see the kind of science that would support dietary restrictions,” said Robert Eckel, the co-chair of the task force and a medical professor at the University of Colorado.

    The current U.S. guidelines call for restricting cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams daily. American adult men on average ingest about 340 milligrams of cholesterol a day, according to federal figures. That recommended figure of 300 milligrams, Eckel said, is " just one of those things that gets carried forward and carried forward even though the evidence is minimal.”

    Story continues below advertisement

    "We just don't know," he said.

    Other major studies have indicated that eating an egg a day does not raise a healthy person’s risk of heart disease, though diabetic patients may be at more risk.

    “The U.S. is the last country in the world to set a specific limit on dietary cholesterol,” said David Klurfeld, a nutrition scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Some of it is scientific inertia.”

    The persistence of the cholesterol fear may arise, in part, from the plausibility of its danger.

    As far back as the 19th century, scientists recognized that the plaque that clogged arteries consisted, in part, of cholesterol, according to historians.

    It would have seemed logical, then, that a diet that is high in cholesterol would wind up clogging arteries.

    In 1913, Niokolai Anitschkov and his colleagues at the Czar’s Military Medicine Institute in St. Petersburg, decided to try it out in rabbits. The group fed cholesterol to rabbits for about four to eight weeks and saw that the cholesterol diet harmed them. They figured they were on to something big.

    “It often happens in the history of science that researchers ... obtain results which require us to view scientific questions in a new light,” he and a colleague wrote in their 1913 paper.

    But it wasn’t until the 1940s, when heart disease was rising in the United States, that the dangers of a cholesterol diet for humans would come more sharply into focus.

    Experiments in biology, as well as other studies that followed the diets of large populations, seemed to link high cholesterol diets to heart disease.

    Public warnings soon followed. In 1961, the American Heart Association recommended that people reduce cholesterol consumption and eventually set a limit of 300 milligrams a day. (For comparison, the yolk of a single egg has about 200 milligrams.)

    Eventually, the idea that cholesterol is harmful so permeated the country's consciousness that marketers advertised their foods on the basis of "no cholesterol."

    What Anitschkov and the other early scientists may not have foreseen is how complicated the science of cholesterol and heart disease could turn out: that the body creates cholesterol in amounts much larger than their diet provides, that the body regulates how much is in the blood and that there is both “good” and “bad” cholesterol.

    Adding to the complexity, the way people process cholesterol differs. Scientists say some people -- about 25 percent -- appear to be more vulnerable to cholesterol-rich diets.

    “It’s turned out to be more complicated than anyone could have known,” said Lawrence Rudel, a professor at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

    As a graduate student at the University of Arkansas in the late 1960s, Rudel came across Anitschkov’s paper and decided to focus on understanding one of its curiosities. In passing, the paper noted that while the cholesterol diet harmed rabbits, it had no effect on white rats. In fact, if Anitschkov had focused on any other animal besides the rabbit, the effects wouldn't have been so clear -- rabbits are unusually vulnerable to the high-cholesterol diet.

    “The reason for the difference -- why does one animal fall apart on the cholesterol diet -- seemed like something that could be figured out,” Rudel said. “That was 40 or so years ago. We still don’t know what explains the difference.”

    In truth, scientists have made some progress. Rudel and his colleagues have been able to breed squirrel monkeys that are more vulnerable to the cholesterol diet. That and other evidence leads to their belief that for some people -- as for the squirrel monkeys -- genetics are to blame.

    Rudel said that Americans should still be warned about cholesterol.

    “Eggs are a nearly perfect food, but cholesterol is a potential bad guy,” he said. “Eating too much a day won’t harm everyone, but it will harm some people.”

    Scientists have estimated that, even without counting the toll from obesity, disease related to poor eating habits kills more than half a million people every year. That toll is often used as an argument for more research in nutrition.

    Currently, the National Institutes of Health spends about $1.5 billion annually on nutrition research, an amount that represents about 5 percent of its total budget.

    The turnaround on cholesterol, some critics say, is just more evidence that nutrition science needs more investment.

    Others, however, say the reversal might be seen as a sign of progress.

    “These reversals in the field do make us wonder and scratch our heads,” said David Allison, a public health professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “But in science, change is normal and expected.”

    When our view of the cosmos shifted from Ptolemy to Copernicus to Newton and Einstein, Allison said, “the reaction was not to say, ‘Oh my gosh, something is wrong with physics!’ We say, ‘Oh my gosh, isn’t this cool?’ ”

    Allison said the problem in nutrition stems from the arrogance that sometimes accompanies dietary advice. A little humility could go a long way.

    “Where nutrition has some trouble,” he said, “is all the confidence and vitriol and moralism that goes along with our recommendations.”

    [Photo Credit](https://www.pexels.com/photo/scam-alert-letting-text-on-black-background-5697256/)
    This is an overdue article. Not completing it, I will consider it a waste of time.
    Yesterday, after listening to @neopch uploaded video, I made some notes thinking to write later about the points raised in the HBD scam “debate.” Unfortunately, I got distracted by many concerns in the Business Office, such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) penalty and the need to apply for amnesty to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
    Listening to TCMD’s voice reminds me of a conversation with a friend a week ago. He shared with me that he invested his money in a government investment tool with a 6 to 7% annual return. Though I did not mention HBD, I mentioned the possibility of a saving with 20% interest rate. As an accountant by profession, his immediate response is that such a thing doesn’t exist. And so, I did not pursue the conversation for he might misinterpret me as pushing a “scam.”
    Hearing the word “scam” associated with any project out there is sufficient enough for anyone to close his mind to take a serious look at that particular project. At this point, I think many have already heard such a heavy word used to describe HBD. The fact that HBD has a 20% APR is considered a red flag.
    TCMD raised several points. One of them is clarifying the distinction between the contention that HBD is a scam from the question of the sustainability of the 20% APR and the feared “red flag.”
    Perhaps, the critics are thinking that HBD giving 20% APR qualifies it as a scam. For TCMD, the response to the scam allegation is clear. Only those who know nothing about Hive will insist that HBD is a scam.
    Turning to the other questions whether the 20% APR makes a project a scam or unsustainable, we need a different response. Another point that TCMD emphasized is that no single individual or any centralized entity made the decision to come up with such a high-interest rate. In fact, he mentioned that he favored the more conservative 12%.
    And so, it was the community that made the decision to increase the APR of HBD to 20%. Another surprising idea I heard is about a proposal to increase the interest to 30%. We don’t know if this will pass the polling process or when will it be implemented. Perhaps, once such an increase is made, the voice of those who accuse HBD of a scam will get even louder.
    Another interesting insight mentioned in the video is that the history of the market price of HBD is usually over the peg rather than under the peg of $1.00 worth of HIVE. Given that the token has a seven-year history (as far as the technology behind is concerned) and many digital applications are developed as well as the growing number of in-person economies utilizing the token, the fear that it might follow the footstep of LUNA is unlikely to happen. Perhaps, if no projects are being built on top of Hive, such dreaded crash may be justified.
    Lastly, TCMD mentioned that looking back at the history of the price of the token, the typical swing is between 10% to 20%.

    ![05-pexels-anna-tarazevich-5697256-Scam.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/rzc24-nftbbg/23tGW1f33WQKD7oX9r3sgLiva9b6MrT1cqwNRtBctGRNge7y8r7d43VjFDn9wsM9TKW4p.jpg) [Photo Credit](https://www.pexels.com/photo/scam-alert-letting-text-on-black-background-5697256/) This is an overdue article. Not completing it, I will consider it a waste of time. Yesterday, after listening to @neopch uploaded video, I made some notes thinking to write later about the points raised in the HBD scam “debate.” Unfortunately, I got distracted by many concerns in the Business Office, such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) penalty and the need to apply for amnesty to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Listening to TCMD’s voice reminds me of a conversation with a friend a week ago. He shared with me that he invested his money in a government investment tool with a 6 to 7% annual return. Though I did not mention HBD, I mentioned the possibility of a saving with 20% interest rate. As an accountant by profession, his immediate response is that such a thing doesn’t exist. And so, I did not pursue the conversation for he might misinterpret me as pushing a “scam.” Hearing the word “scam” associated with any project out there is sufficient enough for anyone to close his mind to take a serious look at that particular project. At this point, I think many have already heard such a heavy word used to describe HBD. The fact that HBD has a 20% APR is considered a red flag. TCMD raised several points. One of them is clarifying the distinction between the contention that HBD is a scam from the question of the sustainability of the 20% APR and the feared “red flag.” Perhaps, the critics are thinking that HBD giving 20% APR qualifies it as a scam. For TCMD, the response to the scam allegation is clear. Only those who know nothing about Hive will insist that HBD is a scam. Turning to the other questions whether the 20% APR makes a project a scam or unsustainable, we need a different response. Another point that TCMD emphasized is that no single individual or any centralized entity made the decision to come up with such a high-interest rate. In fact, he mentioned that he favored the more conservative 12%. And so, it was the community that made the decision to increase the APR of HBD to 20%. Another surprising idea I heard is about a proposal to increase the interest to 30%. We don’t know if this will pass the polling process or when will it be implemented. Perhaps, once such an increase is made, the voice of those who accuse HBD of a scam will get even louder. Another interesting insight mentioned in the video is that the history of the market price of HBD is usually over the peg rather than under the peg of $1.00 worth of HIVE. Given that the token has a seven-year history (as far as the technology behind is concerned) and many digital applications are developed as well as the growing number of in-person economies utilizing the token, the fear that it might follow the footstep of LUNA is unlikely to happen. Perhaps, if no projects are being built on top of Hive, such dreaded crash may be justified. Lastly, TCMD mentioned that looking back at the history of the price of the token, the typical swing is between 10% to 20%. Yes, no one can say for sure about the future direction of the price of the token, but if I will bet between crashing and price appreciation, I think the facts support the latter.

  • The words of Andrew Griffith, member of the UK Parliament and HM Treasury Economic Secretary, about stablecoin:

    "A stablecoin will likely serve as a 'first use case of what is likely to be a wholesale settlement coin' in the 'long runtime' leading up to the potential introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC)."

    He also added that removing the banks as intermediaries, "certainly at the current evolution of the market, feels very premature."

    Really? Premature or long overdue?
