Like many who were in New York that morning,
Lady Gaga remembers every single second of her day.
The Bad Romance singer was a teenager at the time, and stood
on the roof of her high school watching the atrocities, alongside her classmates.
Detailing her experience to MTV News a decade later, she said: ‘I was at school with my girlfriends. I just remember that the history teachers had us all piled into one room and had a television on and none of us believed it was happening.
‘So we didn’t believe it, so we ran up to the roof and I just remember we got up to the roof, and one tower had already fallen and we all watched the second tower fall all together.
[My school] was miles and miles away, but the sky that hovered above us was jet black.’

The renowned singer disclosed that she witnessed the horrifying incident
from the rooftop of her high school when she was just 15 years old.

The 9/11 attacks, orchestrated by Al-Qaeda terrorists, involved the hijacking
of two planes that were flown into New York’s Twin Towers. This catastrophic event resulted in the collapse of the World Trade Center and the tragic loss of nearly 2,977 lives.

Reflecting on her experience, Lady Gaga remarked,
“We were unable to believe the scary unfolding of events.”
During an appearance on MTV, the star recounted the moment, saying,
“Unable to believe the news on TV, we all went to the rooftop, and one tower
had already fallen, and we all saw the other fall in front of our eyes.”

Lady Gaga also shared her deep anxiety and distress at the time, as her mother
worked in close proximity to the World Trade Center & she was unable to contact her.
On the anniversary of this tragic event, Lady Gaga paid tribute to the victims of 9/11, emphasizing, “It’s a moment to honor New York. It’s a moment to come together and realise that New York really is forever changed and will always now be a family.”

Lady Gaga Honors Tony Bennett on His 97th Birthday,

CNN — Tony Bennett won over generations of fans crooning “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” And on his 95th birthday, the beloved singer left his heart on the stage of Radio City Music Hall. Six months after Bennett and his family revealed he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Bennett sang alongside Lady Gaga before sold-out crowds in a two-concert series
in early August Anthony Dominick Benedetto (August 3, 1926 – July 21, 2023),
known professionally as Tony Bennett, an American jazz and traditional pop singer.

When were the Twin Towers built and what time did they collapse?

Now the rest of the world has a chance to take in the moving August 3rd show
in a TV special, “One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga,”
which aired Sunday on CBS.
In addition to his signature song, Bennett performed standards like “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Steppin’ Out with My Baby” and duets with Lady Gaga including “Love for Sale” and “Anything Goes.”

His family members have said sometimes Bennett doesn’t know where he is and what is happening around him. But onstage in the TV special, the legendary performer didn’t miss a beat.

Tony Bennett reveals he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Belting out “New York, New York” before Bennett took the stage, Lady Gaga teared up when she paused to talk about him. “He’s my friend. He’s my musical companion.
And he’s the greatest singer in the whole world.
And I’m counting on you, New York, to make him smile. So, you better cheer.
You better yell. You better laugh. You better cry. You better give your soul.”
The Radio City Music Hall audience held up its end of the bargain.
Bennett got his first standing ovation before even singing a note –
and racked up at least a dozen more throughout the night.
In “Fly Me to the Moon,” when he crooned the line, “Let me sing forever more,”
the audience erupted in cheers. At one point the camera panned to an audience
member shouting, “We love you!”

Bennett, whose singing career spans eight decades, is no stranger to performing for throngs of adoring fans. Still, before the concert, family members told “60 Minutes”
they weren’t sure what would happen during the show.
But wife Susan Benedetto said that once she saw him onstage that night, his eyes
twinkling and arms outstretched toward the crowd, she knew everything would be alright.
“He became himself. He just turned on. It was like a light switch,” she told
“60 Minutes” in a segment that aired last month.
That’s because music and performing are so ingrained in the singer,
according to Bennett’s neurologist, Dr. Gayatri Devi.
“People respond differently based on their strengths. In Tony’s case, it’s his musical memory, his ability to be a performer. Those are an innate and hardwired part of his brain,” Devi said on “60 Minutes.” “So even though he doesn’t know what the day might be, or where his apartment is, he still can sing the whole repertoire of the American Songbook and move people.” @60minutes with @tonybennett by #andersoncooper – YouTube

Bennett released his first album with Lady Gaga in 2014.
Their latest collaboration, a Cole Porter tribute album titled “Love For Sale,”
was released in October. Last week it garnered six Grammy nominations.
After the nominations, Lady Gaga told BBC Radio 2’s “The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show”
that it’s been heartbreaking to watch what Bennett is going through. She told “60 Minutes”
that also Bennett had been calling her “Sweetheart” every time she’d seen him since the
pandemic began, and she wasn’t sure he knew who she was.
But when she came onstage to join him during the Radio City Music Hall concert, Bennett appeared to have no doubt. “Wow,” he said as she twirled around in a shimmering gold gown. “Lady Gaga!” A look of joy flashed across Lady Gaga’s face.
She bent over, her head in her hands, before doing another twirl.
“I had to keep it together, because we had a sold-out show and I had a job to do,” Lady Gaga told “60 Minutes.” “But I’ll tell you, when I walked out on that stage, and he said, ‘Lady Gaga,’ my friend saw me, and it was very special.”

Lady Gaga gave the world — and me — a powerful gift
After the successful Radio City Music Hall shows, Bennett canceled future tour appearances. His son and manager Danny Bennett told Variety those New York
concerts would be his last.
“This was a hard decision for us to make, as he is a capable performer. This is, however, doctors’ orders,” Danny Bennett said. “It’s not the singing aspect but, rather, the traveling. Look, he gets tired. The decision is being made that doing concerts now is just too much for him.” Lady Gaga told “60 Minutes” she heard a powerful message in Bennett’s last Radio City Music Hall performances.
“It’s not a sad story. It’s emotional. It’s hard to watch somebody change. I think what’s been beautiful about this, and what’s been challenging, is to see how it affects him in some ways, but to see how it doesn’t affect his talent,” she said. “I think he really pushed through something to give the world the gift of knowing that things can change, and you can still be magnificent.” 5 Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease Most People Aren’t Aware of, Say Drs.

Listen to Your Inner You

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Ken

When your heart calls you to stick your face in the flowers, do you listen?

Or do you let your mind convince you not to?
When your heart calls you to take a break,
When your heart calls you to speak up,
When your heart calls you to take a leap, do you listen?
Or do you let your mind convince you not to?

You are not your emotions.

Deepest reverence to the practice that has forever changed my life, activated my sovereignty,
and instilled me with the tools to navigate with deeper awareness.

You are a human being, experiencing the beautiful, wonderful, and divinely innate guidance system & internal compass that lives within you.

When we step back and allow ourselves to listen & be guided by this internal compass,
we step into alignment with our true nature – our Dharma – or in my interpretation, our Botanic Body.

And what a blessing, to hold this magnificent guidance system

that will ALWAYS lead us in the direction of our truth.

How many times have you allowed your mind to talk you out of doing something wonderful?

The mind will lead or hinder the majority of our lives if we don’t practice the art of listening to the heart.

The mind allows us to think with logic & reason, the heart allows us

to FEEL what resonates at a soul level – We need both.

When something is meant for you, you will feel the call to it in one way or another.

Sometimes the mind will find every reason to talk you out of something that may push you out of your comfort zone.

At that point, it’s time to let the heart lead & get your mind out of your way.

Thinking can only get you so far in life, sometimes we have to tap into our ability to feel what is right for us in a way that the mind can’t quite comprehend.

The belief that God – Spirit – the Divine, exists innately within us.

By connecting intentionally & deeply with the self,

we connect to God – Spirit – Source.

Do you not go within to connect deeply with yourself in prayer?

The concept of meditation is deeply connected with the act of prayer in religious scriptures if you pay attention.

Yoga can be used as a means to connect with whatever God you believe in, it is not formed around the worship of any specific God or deity.

It can also be used as a means to simply connect deeply with yourself, calm the mind, and care for the body through movement.

If you are threatened by something that you don’t understand, or that seems to contradict your chosen beliefs, try asking yourself why that is.

Upon a closer look you might find that the fear

you feel is simply in your misunderstanding.

This year I learned how to say no.

This year I learned how to choose myself.

It sounds pretty simple in logistics right?

But I’ll encourage you to seriously ask yourself:

Can you unconditionally choose what’s going to be best for you in any given moment-

Even when there are forces asking you to do the opposite?

Even if it feels uncomfortable to say no?

In the humblest way..

never in a thousand dreams could the 18 year old version of me have believed that this is the woman I would grow to become.

It’s taken the death of many layers of myself to continue revealing & becoming the woman that I am today.

I am proud of who I am today, and that is because I have stood in the place of a woman who did not love herself many times before.

I stand now in the deepest gratitude for this journey that continues to nourish me with opportunities to give, love, grow & receive.

MercyMe – Dear Younger Me (Lyrics) – YouTube

I shared a quote yesterday that said:

“At 25, I’m the woman my 15 years old.
self would’ve loved to be in the company of.
The same woman my 20-year-old self-felt intimidated by.
And the very woman my 23-year-old self nearly gave up on,
thinking she was too far-fetched to reach.
Growth is a strange and wondrous journey.”

15 year old me had no idea who she was

18 year old me thought she knew what she wanted

21 year old me knew that she wanted something different than what she was currently living

23 year old me thought she had to have it all figured out, and nearly gave up when it all came crashing down

25 year old me- current me, knows who she is and who she is becoming.
She has learned to accept the failures as lessons that show her the way to better.

️through trial & error, pain & mistakes, being vulnerable in the pursuit of her dreams, failures & success..
she continues to learn what she does & does not want to be

she has come to see the purest beauty in surrendering to the lessons and messages of life,
remaining a humble student that is forever learning & unlearning,

gratefully receiving the experiences that lead her closer to her truth,
living in the purest excitement for the path that she has created.

the path that continues to unfold for her now as she has planted the seeds of intention
& trust in the universe that holds her:
– the path of her truth, the path of greatest abundance, clarity and joy.

Stay tuned & follow @botanicbodyoga for new offerings & announcements for retreats
& more coming in 2023.

The snake is the ultimate symbol of death and rebirth.

A process we experience over and over again throughout our lives.

We give birth to new versions of ourselves in every chapter of our lives, new relationships, new beliefs – and when it’s time for a new version of ourselves to evolve once again, parts of the old self must die in order to make space for the new.

The outstanding beliefs, attitudes, and relationships that no longer serve us and couldn’t possibly support the growth of who we are becoming no longer have a place.

This same process happens all around us in nature as well.

The snake is always shedding its skin. Could you imagine if every time it did, it carried that dead skin around with it still?

It’s unnatural to hold onto what is no longer needed to support our wellbeing, yet so many of us do it anyway.

We cling onto that relationship even when we know it’s time has passed.

We fall back on old belief systems due to habit and familiarity in the end.

It only keeps us anchored to the past version of yourself that is no longer aligned with where our soul is going.

So here’s your reminder to check in.

Are the belief systems around money, life, relationships and yourself serving you in creating the life you want?

Are your relationships serving you in being the person you want to be?

Is your job serving you in living the life you want?

If the answer is no, give yourself permission to begin the process of gently letting go. It may not happen immediately, and it doesn’t have to.

Letting go is a process. Give yourself permission to create space for what lies ahead, and be okay with feeling the discomfort that comes with stepping into the unknown.

An 81-year-old Southern California woman
living with cancer has conquered a 24-mile, rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon.
Fran Anderson of Orange finished the hike in about 21 hours on Sept. 4, only five months after pneumonia nearly killed her. She had hoped to do it 14 hours but it was much harder than she anticipated, and at times she could barely put one foot in front of the other.
Most would have chosen to turn around rather than continue down into the canyon — where temperatures were in the 90s — and up 10 miles to the top of the other side.

Not Anderson.
“Finishing was my goal and it was going to happen no matter what,”
said the mother of four and grandmother of nine.

Anderson spoke with USA TODAY exclusively about the feat, sharing what the hardest part was, why she was actually disappointed in herself after finishing the trail and the next big thing on her bucket list.

‘I’m going’
Anderson is living with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a blood cancer that has compromised her immune system. When she got pneumonia on a month-long cruise to the South Pacific in April, it nearly killed her. Luckily for Anderson, she has prioritized a healthy lifestyle and remained extremely active long after her days as a chorus line dancer who performed for U.S. troops.

“At the hospital they said, ‘You’re 80??'” Anderson recalled.
“They said, ‘You are just not our typical 80-year-old patient.’ And I said, ‘I’m getting out of here, I’m making it through.’ And I did.” Not only did Anderson overcome cancer and the hospitalization, but she also broke her shoulder and knee when she fell off a table while putting up Halloween decorations in 2018.

She had to undergo extensive surgery and couldn’t bear weight for three months.
Anderson being Anderson, she was at Machu Picchu in Peru three weeks after she left the wheelchair. “I had this trip planned and my doctor said, ‘No way are you going on that,'” she recalled. “I said, ‘No, I’m going.'”


Fran Anderson, 81, is pictured recovering from a broken shoulder and broken
knee sustained in a fall from a table in October 2018. Anderson didn’t let the
setback stop her from reaching Machu Picchu in Peru three months later.

‘We’re gonna do it’
Anderson’s Grand Canyon hike also was not without its own obstacles.
She was supposed to complete the rim-to-rim journey in April 2020 but then COVID hit. And then again she wanted to do it last October but her hip gave out a few weeks beforehand.

Still, Anderson was determined to return and conquer it.

From left to right, they are daughter Brenda Sibley, granddaughter Brooklyn Sibley, son-in-law Travis Sibley, grand-nephew Brett Usinger, niece Laurie Usinger and daughter Lynnette Anderson

Anderson’s family decided that it’d be best if their mom did the hike over two days, a common strategy among rim-to-rim hikers of all ages. The plan was to hike down the North Rim to the bottom of the canyon one day, stay at a rustic hotel called Phantom Ranch overnight, and then hike up the South Rim the next morning.

But the hotel canceled their reservation at the last minute because of a water-main break. That left Anderson with two choices: cancel the trip altogether or slug out the massive hike in one day. Anderson, again being Anderson, was actually excited to do it in one day, despite her family’s reservations.
“She was like, ‘I get to do it all in one day! This is great!'” said her daughter, Lynnette Anderson Opp, a realtor also living in Orange. “And we were thinking, ‘This is not great, Mom. We should break it up into two days and she was like, ‘No, we’re gonna do it.'”
Considering the risks and being practical, Anderson signed a healthcare directive beforehand, giving her family the power to make medical decisions for her. She carried
it the entire hike, joking about not leaving home without her do-not-resuscitate order.

She finished around 2:45 a.m. on Sept. 4, 21 hours after she began hiking.

Grand Canyon on Sept. 3, 2023. After overcoming many health issues, Anderson insisted
on carrying her do-not-resuscitate healthcare directive, making jokes about it the whole time.

‘Every step was a struggle’
Anderson’s adventure at the Grand Canyon began at 5:45 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 3.
She and six family members began the hike together, wearing custom T-shirts that said “Fran Canyon.” Three family members went ahead early on, and Anderson ended up hiking with Opp, her other daughter, and her niece.
Pretty quickly into the day, Anderson began struggling.
“We were only one-tenth (or 2 miles) into the hike and my knees gave out,
my left hip gave out,” she said. “It was like, ‘Oh my gosh.'” She was baffled as to why, having completely a rigorous, months-long training program designed by her other daughter, Brenda Sibley, a life coach.
The ladies soon realized that the only thing that Anderson thought she was doing differently was wearing a brand-new backpack that ended up being a big mistake.
“It didn’t fit me, it had a bone in it and it just threw me off balance,” she said.

So, the three other women dispersed the weight in Anderson’s pack among themselves and took turns carrying it the rest of the way, allowing the 81-year-old former stay-at-home mom to hike without any added pressure on her joints.
Still, it was a tough start to the day and “every step was a struggle” for Anderson, Opp said. While the three family members who went ahead made it down to the canyon in an hour and 40 minutes, it took Anderson and the other women four hours and 40 minutes. Only later did Anderson find out from her chiropractor that her left hip was out of socket the entire hike.

‘Zip in my step’
Anderson and the other women took an extensive break at the bottom of the canyon, loading up on electrolytes, water, snacks and a few prayers for good measure.
It gave Anderson the legs she needed.
“I got up and I had zip in my step, and they said, ‘Go Mom, look at you,'” she said.

at the bottom of the Grand Canyon on Sept. 3, 2023.

But they had 10 miles, all uphill, to go. Soon, it felt like it would never end.
“The end was just very, very long and very, very slow,” Opp said, adding that she was struggling with plantar fasciitis. “It was truly like, one step, two step, push her up the step. One step, two step, push her up the step. We just knew we weren’t quitting.”
After the longest 21 hours of their lives, they made it to the South Rim at 2:45 a.m. on Sept. 4. Waiting there was Anderson’s husband of 60 years, 84-year-old LaMarr Anderson, a former NASCAR driver, commercial airline pilot and truck driver.

Family members cheered as she looked at him, clearly exhausted, and said: “I am …”
Too tired to find the rest of the words, she hugged and kissed her husband.

One of the first things she did after reaching the top at 2:45 a.m. on Sept. 4 was give her husband of 60 years a big hug and a kiss. The couple, of Orange, California, have four children and nine grandchildren.

Peril: Visiting the Grand Canyon will get more dangerous, study projects. Here’s why.

‘Why would you do this?’
At first, Anderson recalls feeling disappointed in herself for taking
21 hours to finish the hike and slowing down her family members.
She got over it.
“When I got to the top and I accomplished it and the kids were all happy …
I said, ‘You know, if they’re happy I gotta be happy. This is this is good,'” she said.
“None of my friends have done anything like this,” she continued. “They wouldn’t even think of it. They said, ‘Why would you do this?’ And I said, ‘Because I wanted to.'”

Anderson is a decade shy of being the oldest person to hike the Grand Canyon
from rim to rim. That record is currently held by a Colorado man named John Jepkema, who was 91 when he did the hike in 2019, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

The dangers
On Saturday afternoon, a 55-year-old Ranjith Varma of Manassas, Virginia, became unresponsive during a rim-to-rim hike in the canyon and later died after bystanders
and then rescuers performed CPR on him, according to the National Park Servic e.
Although it’s unclear whether his death is related to heat, temperatures topped out
in the high 80s in the park that day.
The park service warned others to avoid hiking in the inner canyon during the hottest parts of the day and to “be aware that efforts to assist hikers may be delayed during the summer” because of limited state, the number of rescue calls and other factors.
An average of about 12 people die at the Grand Canyon every year, and around 900 have died there since the 1800s, according to an unofficial tally by Michael P. Ghiglieri and Thomas M. Myers, authors of “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.”
Although Ghiglieri and Myers found that the leading cause of death in the canyon are helicopter and airplane crashes, followed by falls, deaths from environmental conditions like heat have been on the rise in recent decades.

What’s next?

Fran Anderson, 81, celebrates reaching Machu Picchu just three months after
breaking her shoulder and hip in 2018. The Orange, California woman continues
to tick off her long bucket list, eyeing a trip to Israel next year and also a climb of
Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.

Just a few days after the grueling day at the canyon,
Anderson was already talking about what’s next on her bucket list.
She’s going on a girls trip to New York in December, plans to cross off a few more national parks in the next year, is planning a train tour in Canada and trying to make it to Israel by the end of 2024. She’s already been to six of the seven continents, though she did get to wave at Antarctica from a cruise ship once.
As for physical feats, she next wants to conquer Yosemite National Park’s Half Dome, a 17-mile hike that culminates in a steep and dangerous climb up a granite dome using cables.

Just another Sunday in Anderson’s world.

Perfectly Imperfect

Posted on September 12, 2023 by Ken

Climate sCiEnCe is BS: Lithium mining is SO environmentally friendly —

Perfectly Imperfect
Just like solar panels, wind turbines, EVs, all of which degrade the earth’s ecosystem.
It’s ALL B.S. The animals die, the consumers are plundered, while ‘green’ corporation’s profit… Please don’t let CLOBiden Regime sell it to CCP Biden Regime Uses ‘Domestic Extremism’ To Impose Its Rule | Opinion (newsweek.com)

Belgian geologist Anouk Borst said that if the estimate proves true, the sudden overabundance of American lithium — the metal sought after by electric vehicle makers — could have global impacts. Meanwhile, NASA voiced its opposition in June to mining the Railroad Valley tabletop flat because its undisturbed standing is key to calibrating the measurements of hundreds of satellites orbiting the Earth.

Ruining the environment mining for the metals is stupidity!
The batteries are not environmentally safe or efficient! They have to be
charged using electricity powered by coal or fuel! GREEN NEW STEAL!

Joe Biden to ban lithium mining in the US in 3 – 2 – 1.
And old joe has made it off limits to mine under the guise of protecting sacred land of Native Americans. Sad to think they are buying that he is protecting them, more like he just deprived them of income to raise their standard of living. So what will he do, send them some more blankets?

So let me get this right…we have to dig up elements from underground to make batteries for vehicles that are going to help us not have to dig up elements from under the ground. BRILLIANT!!!!! Time for desert Winnemucca to be populated with illegal slaves.
If not, I would have used this area to build a huge place for homeless.

Is that land owned by the CCP OR GATES?

What happens when you stir lithium dust into the air (bing.com)

The Climate Change Cult says this is acceptable.
Well, maybe our dollar can be backed by lithium. Of course, it takes brutal mining to recover it, and any machinery used will also have to be battery operated to save the climate as they destroy the landscape. And what are they going to do with all those bad batteries?

Electric vehicles are worthless and useless.

EVs are designed for 15-minute city trips only.

Green energy doesn’t work 24/7…ridiculous to suggest it does.

Clean nuclear is the new green way forward, not solar or wind.

Cheap, efficient fossil fuels work 24/7×365.

The lithium freaks are trying to open a mine smack dab in the middle of the Adirondack mountains next to a Racquet lake. We will not let them destroy upstate New York’s natural beauty. Yup, forget BRICS,we can make all these Jabronis around the world kiss our damn feet if we TURBOCHARGE President Trump’s full energy spectrum dominance!!!

And this will fade away. A fad.

I hope vehicle battery charging stations
will be as rare as telephone booths in 10 years.
TRUST THE PLAN

Lithium is the reason DC/ Congress are pushing electric vehicles…They are involved in insider trading… can’t even imagine how much the Bidens have received or his kick back from big pharma vaccines. Biden will either ban it or give it away to only need to buy it back later from China!

So… is that where the some 80,000 missing children who crossed
the southern border are located? Digging lithium for the soulless EV users.

LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND, DRILL FOR OIL INSTEAD.
LITHIUM MAKES BURNING TOXIC FUMES AND BURNING SKIN.
OIL MAKES SENSE AND THE UNITED STATES INDEPENDENT. PLUS BIDEN WILL HAVE US POISONING OURSELVES GETTING LITHIUM OUT JUST TO GIVE IT TO THOSE POOR UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES. MOSTLY SHIPPED TO CHINA FOR FREE. AM I RIGHT KIDS? Biden, Ground Zero, and 9/11: Why does the president keep getting away with not telling the truth? (msn.com)

Ancient Supervolcano in US May Hide Largest Lithium Deposit Ever Found
© Provided by ScienceAlert

An ancient Super volcano in the United States may be hiding the largest deposit of lithium found anywhere in the world. A new study hypothesizes that the McDermitt Caldera, which sits on the border between Nevada and Oregon, contains more than double the concentration of lithium seen in any other bed of clay globally, around 20 to 40 million metric tons in total. It’s worth noting that the study was funded by a mining company,
and current plans to mine the soft, silvery metal are steeped in controversy.

Many scientists, environmentalists, ranchers, and First Nations people are concerned
by the US government’s recent decision to approve the Thacker Pass Lithium mine in
the McDermitt Caldera, which sits on land that is sacred to several Indigenous tribes
and contains precious wildlife habitats.

Today, lithium is like liquid gold for car manufacturers.
It’s used to build the batteries in electric vehicles, and to meet rapidly rising demand, an estimated million metric tons of it will be needed by 2040.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is of the utmost necessity,
but this particular climate solution is hardly perfect.
In fact, the global rush to unearth more lithium could have some serious adverse impacts on nature and people. Lithium operations can destroy ecosystems, deplete groundwater, and produce masses of waste.
During battery manufacturing, fossil fuels are also burned.

At the moment, the US is largely reliant on China for its lithium, so there’s been a recent push to mine more on federal lands. If all goes ahead, the Thacker Pass Lithium mine will be the second large-scale mine of its kind in the nation.
The project is owned by Lithium Nevada, LLC, a subsidiary of Lithium Americas Corporation (LAC), which funded the recent research.
According to the company’s latest review, the caldera’s southernmost rim, including Thacker Pass, contains the highest concentrations of lithium in the region.

When the ancient Super volcano erupted around 16 million years ago, hot liquid magma gushed through the ground’s cracks and fissures and enriched the clay soil with lithium, according to experts from Lithium Nevada, the University of Oregon, and the New Zealand research institute GNS Science.

and we probably won’t make it (msn.com)

Most of the caldera’s clay is called magnesium smectite, which is a known source of lithium elsewhere in the world. But towards the southernmost rim of the caldera, researchers have found an unusual type of clay, called illite, that is especially concentrated with lithium.
This mining hotspot, the team argues, is likely the result of another resurgence of magma after the caldera’s ancient lake had dried out. The chemical reaction that ensued from this event would have replaced lithium-smectite in lake sediment with an even richer lithium-illite clay bed – but only near Thacker Pass, not throughout the caldera.

“If you believe their back-of-the-envelope estimation, this is a very significant
deposit of lithium,’ Anouk Borst, a geologist who was not involved in the study, told Chemistry World. “It could change the dynamics of lithium globally,
in terms of price, security of supply, and geopolitics.”

But it also comes at a significant cost.
Ranchers are concerned that the lithium project will cause groundwater levels to
drop to precipitous levels, and an environmental review by the US Interior Department highlighted possible dangers to native pronghorn antelope, sage grouse, and golden eagles, which are particularly sacred birds to local First Nations people.
Thacker Pass, also known as Peehee Mu’huh, is the traditional homeland of several Indigenous nations, who hunt deer here, tend to native cherry orchards, and forage for traditional medicines.
It is also the place of a bloody massacre, in which American soldiers killed 31 members of the Paiute tribe in 1865. The many caves in Thacker Pass are said to have saved the Fort McDermitt tribe from being rounded up by soldiers and sent to faraway reservations over a century ago.

Building a mine on these lands, some tribal members say,
is equivalent to desecrating Pearl Harbor or Arlington National Cemetery.
“We understand that all of us must be committed to fighting climate change,”
wrote the People of Red Mountain in a Statement of Opposition to the mine in 2021.
“Fighting climate change, however, cannot be used as yet another excuse to destroy native land. We cannot protect the environment by destroying it.”
The study was published in Science Advances.

Climate sCiEnCe is BS: Lithium mining is SO environmentally friendly —

Perfectly Imperfect
Just like solar panels, wind turbines, EVs, all of which degrade the earth’s ecosystem.
It’s ALL B.S. The animals die, the consumers are plundered, while ‘green’ corporation’s profit… Please don’t let CLOBiden Regime sell it to CCP Biden Regime Uses ‘Domestic Extremism’ To Impose Its Rule | Opinion (newsweek.com)

Belgian geologist Anouk Borst said that if the estimate proves true, the sudden overabundance of American lithium — the metal sought after by electric vehicle makers — could have global impacts. Meanwhile, NASA voiced its opposition in June to mining the Railroad Valley tabletop flat because its undisturbed standing is key to calibrating the measurements of hundreds of satellites orbiting the Earth.

Ruining the environment mining for the metals is stupidity!
The batteries are not environmentally safe or efficient! They have to be
charged using electricity powered by coal or fuel! GREEN NEW STEAL!

Joe Biden to ban lithium mining in the US in 3 – 2 – 1.
And old joe has made it off limits to mine under the guise of protecting sacred land of Native Americans. Sad to think they are buying that he is protecting them, more like he just deprived them of income to raise their standard of living. So what will he do, send them some more blankets?

So let me get this right…we have to dig up elements from underground to make batteries for vehicles that are going to help us not have to dig up elements from under the ground. BRILLIANT!!!!! Time for desert Winnemucca to be populated with illegal slaves.
If not, I would have used this area to build a huge place for homeless.

Is that land owned by the CCP OR GATES?

What happens when you stir lithium dust into the air (bing.com)

The Climate Change Cult says this is acceptable.
Well, maybe our dollar can be backed by lithium. Of course, it takes brutal mining to recover it, and any machinery used will also have to be battery operated to save the climate as they destroy the landscape. And what are they going to do with all those bad batteries?

Electric vehicles are worthless and useless.

EVs are designed for 15-minute city trips only.

Green energy doesn’t work 24/7…ridiculous to suggest it does.

Clean nuclear is the new green way forward, not solar or wind.

Cheap, efficient fossil fuels work 24/7×365.

The lithium freaks are trying to open a mine smack dab in the middle of the Adirondack mountains next to a Racquet lake. We will not let them destroy upstate New York’s natural beauty. Yup, forget BRICS,we can make all these Jabronis around the world kiss our damn feet if we TURBOCHARGE President Trump’s full energy spectrum dominance!!!

And this will fade away. A fad.

I hope vehicle battery charging stations
will be as rare as telephone booths in 10 years.
TRUST THE PLAN

Lithium is the reason DC/ Congress are pushing electric vehicles…They are involved in insider trading… can’t even imagine how much the Bidens have received or his kick back from big pharma vaccines. Biden will either ban it or give it away to only need to buy it back later from China!

So… is that where the some 80,000 missing children who crossed
the southern border are located? Digging lithium for the soulless EV users.

LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND, DRILL FOR OIL INSTEAD.
LITHIUM MAKES BURNING TOXIC FUMES AND BURNING SKIN.
OIL MAKES SENSE AND THE UNITED STATES INDEPENDENT. PLUS BIDEN WILL HAVE US POISONING OURSELVES GETTING LITHIUM OUT JUST TO GIVE IT TO THOSE POOR UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

Ancient Supervolcano in US May Hide Largest Lithium Deposit Ever Found
© Provided by ScienceAlert

An ancient Super volcano in the United States may be hiding the largest deposit of lithium found anywhere in the world. A new study hypothesizes that the McDermitt Caldera, which sits on the border between Nevada and Oregon, contains more than double the concentration of lithium seen in any other bed of clay globally, around 20 to 40 million metric tons in total. It’s worth noting that the study was funded by a mining company,
and current plans to mine the soft, silvery metal are steeped in controversy.

Many scientists, environmentalists, ranchers, and First Nations people are concerned
by the US government’s recent decision to approve the Thacker Pass Lithium mine in
the McDermitt Caldera, which sits on land that is sacred to several Indigenous tribes
and contains precious wildlife habitats.

Today, lithium is like liquid gold for car manufacturers.
It’s used to build the batteries in electric vehicles, and to meet rapidly rising demand, an estimated million metric tons of it will be needed by 2040.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is of the utmost necessity,
but this particular climate solution is hardly perfect.
In fact, the global rush to unearth more lithium could have some serious adverse impacts on nature and people. Lithium operations can destroy ecosystems, deplete groundwater, and produce masses of waste.
During battery manufacturing, fossil fuels are also burned.

At the moment, the US is largely reliant on China for its lithium, so there’s been a recent push to mine more on federal lands. If all goes ahead, the Thacker Pass Lithium mine will be the second large-scale mine of its kind in the nation.
The project is owned by Lithium Nevada, LLC, a subsidiary of Lithium Americas Corporation (LAC), which funded the recent research.
According to the company’s latest review, the caldera’s southernmost rim, including Thacker Pass, contains the highest concentrations of lithium in the region.

When the ancient Super volcano erupted around 16 million years ago, hot liquid magma gushed through the ground’s cracks and fissures and enriched the clay soil with lithium, according to experts from Lithium Nevada, the University of Oregon, and the New Zealand research institute GNS Science.

RELATED: UN report: two years left to reduce emissions and avoid global disaster,
and we probably won’t make it (msn.com)

Most of the caldera’s clay is called magnesium smectite, which is a known source of lithium elsewhere in the world. But towards the southernmost rim of the caldera, researchers have found an unusual type of clay, called illite, that is especially concentrated with lithium.
This mining hotspot, the team argues, is likely the result of another resurgence of magma after the caldera’s ancient lake had dried out. The chemical reaction that ensued from this event would have replaced lithium-smectite in lake sediment with an even richer lithium-illite clay bed – but only near Thacker Pass, not throughout the caldera.

“If you believe their back-of-the-envelope estimation, this is a very significant
deposit of lithium,’ Anouk Borst, a geologist who was not involved in the study, told Chemistry World. “It could change the dynamics of lithium globally,
in terms of price, security of supply, and geopolitics.”

But it also comes at a significant cost.
Ranchers are concerned that the lithium project will cause groundwater levels to
drop to precipitous levels, and an environmental review by the US Interior Department highlighted possible dangers to native pronghorn antelope, sage grouse, and golden eagles, which are particularly sacred birds to local First Nations people.
Thacker Pass, also known as Peehee Mu’huh, is the traditional homeland of several Indigenous nations, who hunt deer here, tend to native cherry orchards, and forage for traditional medicines.
It is also the place of a bloody massacre, in which American soldiers killed 31 members of the Paiute tribe in 1865. The many caves in Thacker Pass are said to have saved the Fort McDermitt tribe from being rounded up by soldiers and sent to faraway reservations over a century ago.

Building a mine on these lands, some tribal members say,
is equivalent to desecrating Pearl Harbor or Arlington National Cemetery.
“We understand that all of us must be committed to fighting climate change,”
wrote the People of Red Mountain in a Statement of Opposition to the mine in 2021.
“Fighting climate change, however, cannot be used as yet another excuse to destroy native land. We cannot protect the environment by destroying it.”
The study was published in Science Advances.

Twenty-two years after nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives in the 9/11 terror attacks, “the miracle of Stairwell B” has been remembered.

At 8.46am during the horrific 2001 incident, a hijacked plane slammed into the north tower of New York’s World Trade Center. The south tower was hit by another plane just
17 minutes later.

As the south tower began to collapse at 9.59am, a group of firefighters and one police officer were still inside the north structure, and were ordered to evacuate down stairwell B.
The group of David Lim, Port Authority K-9 officer; Capt. John “Jay” Jonas, FDNY’s chief from Ladder Co. 6, firefighters Bill Butler, Sal D’Agostino, Matt Komorowski, and battalion chief Richard Picciotto were rushing to leave the falling building when they found a woman left stranded.
Josephine Harris, a bookkeeper for the Port Authority – Search (bing.com), was exhausted and could not move on her own because of an injured leg. The firefighters decided to take Harris with them and carried her down the building, but while they made their descent, they heard a rumble from the structure.

At 10.28am, the North Tower collapsed after burning for 102 minutes. More than 1,600 in and around the building were killed. But miraculously, the 12 firefighters and one officer, along with Harris, all survived the collapse.

At 12.30pm, they emerged from the staircase at the center of the building’s core.

Capt. Jonas told USA Today about surviving 9/11:
“The tower came down like a peeling banana, and it peeled around us.”
All 14 survivors escaped the ruins with no life-threatening injuries, with
Komorowski saying the woman they rescued was their “guardian angel”.

Speaking to CBS News, the firefighter said: “We had a special bond with her.
“She was our guardian angel. If she had continued down to the lobby and then
our building came down, we wouldn’t be around.”

The firefighters and Harris remained close in the years after 9/11 until her death in 2011.
At her funeral, the firefighters of Ladder Co. 6 were her pallbearers.

First lady Jill Biden is also due to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon.
At ground zero in New York, Vice President Kamala Harris is due to join the ceremony
on the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum Plaza.
Eddie Ferguson, the fire-rescue chief in Virginia’s Goochland County, said in remembrance: “We were one country, one nation, one people, just like it should be.
“That was the feeling – that everyone came together and did what we could,
where we were at, to try to help.”

Donald Trump September 11 Interview: He Said There Is No Way The Planes
Could Have Penetrated WTC Buildings Without Bombs Exploding on Impact
Thea Conrad November 27, 2016

Donald Trump September 11 interview
A Donald Trump September 11 interview, which recorded him giving a statement on the very same day of the attacks, was uploaded on YouTube in mid-September by the pro-Trump group TrumpCommission.org, which has partnered with 911Experiments.org in seeking the truth about unanswered questions concerning that fateful day in American history.
The people who run TrumpCommission.org believe George W. Bush was actively involved in covering up certain details about the September 11 attacks. On the organization’s homepage, it says, “You [Trump] were one of the first, on the same day, to recognize that bombs must have been used on the WTC towers because steel is so strong. Over 2500 Architects and Engineers agree, along with PhDs in Physics, writing research papers for scholarly journals.”
The reason the Donald Trump September 11 interview exists in the first place is because in the wake of the attacks journalists thought, giving his expertise on real estate and building structure, his opinion regarding the specifics of the devastating damage was worth taking into consideration.
During the Donald Trump September 11 interview, he gives specific details for how the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center buildings were able to penetrate the stalwart steel cage of the buildings’ exterior, saying there had to have been bombs planted that exploded on impact, otherwise it would have been almost impossible for them to cause such damage.

According to Trump, the World Trade Center was different from other edifices in that most other buildings (at least during the time of the interview) are built with steel on the inside surrounding the elevator shafts, but the towers were built with steel from the outside, “which is the strongest structure you can have. It was almost like a can of soup.”
“It wasn’t architectural defect,” Trump said regarding the Twin Towers’ demise.
Donald says during the September 11 interview that he had toured the building that had endured the 1993 World Trade Center bombing a few days after it occurred, claiming the fact that the structure was able to withstand an explosion within its foundation is a testament to how impregnable it really was.

So, if this Donald Trump September 11 interview is to be taken seriously and the soon-to-be U.S. president was correct in his conclusions, how did the terrorists know that crashing into the WTC towers would only be successful with the help of additional explosions?
It seems the Trump Commissioners are counting on Donald to reopen the official investigation into the September 11 attacks.
“There is one man who can cut through all the b.s. –
a man who exemplifies the come back spirit of New York – Donald Trump.”
The big question is, does the president-elect have any plans to reopen the September 11 investigation? Unfortunately, there are mixed reports on this, most of which come from questionable sources. However, Brendan James of International Business Times
wrote an article in 2015 that touches on the possibility of a reopening of the case.

Richard Gage, who originated the September 11 Truther group Architects & Engineers
for 9/11 Truth, has dedicated his life to digging up the actualities surrounding the biggest
terrorist attack to happen on U.S. soil.
James interviewed Gage for his piece and quickly learned that Donald Trump had been in contact with Architects & Engineers after the organization had sent him Truther-related media, of which they’d sent to numerous Washington politicians, but Donald was the only one who’d given them any sort of response. He replied to them by email.
“‘Thank you for your book and DVDs,’ read the email, which Gage forwarded to me. ‘Our advisors will investigate the claims made by the architects and engineers more thoroughly and draw their own conclusions from there. We appreciate your continued support. Sincerely, The Trump Campaign.’”
Keep in mind that this happened in 2015, sometime between when Trump had declared his run for presidency and when James’ article was published on September 11, 2015.

Could it be that the president-elect’s expertise on building structure, illustrated
by the Donald Trump September 11 interview, coupled with the passion from Truther movements, contributed to the rumor mill that he plans to reopen the 9/11 investigation?
In addition to the points Trump brought up in the interview, TrumpCommission.org highlighted other concerns they have, all of which center around what President George W. Bush’s September 11 commission team did not properly look into.
Experts have found “thermitic explosive residue” within the leftover dust that became of the twin towers.
World Trade Center Building 7 went down at 5:20 PM on the day of the attacks seemingly without explanation.
Ostensibly, from 1994 – 2001 the elevator shafts in the WTC buildings had columns that were an ideal resting spot for bombs. Ceiling panels were also an ideal place.
George Bush’s brother, Marvin, worked for the company Securacom, which had guards working at the twin towers.
A man named Larry Silverstein became the WTC’s landlord not long before the attacks and profited more than $4 billion from the devastating aftermath.

These five points are things that, according to the Donald Trump September 11 interview video, Truthers seek the answers to, and they’re putting at least some of their hope on the man who will be the 45th president of the United States.
The recording of this Trump interview is a time capsule representative of a period when the real estate billionaire was seen in an altogether different light than he is now. Do you see the difference?
As far as the Truther movement goes, only time will tell if Donald reopens the case into the attacks. The Donald Trump September 11 interview ends with the following words from the president-elect. “The country is different today, and it’s going to be different than it ever was for many years to come.”

Capt. Jonas told USA Today about surviving 9/11:
“The tower came down like a peeling banana, and it peeled around us.”
All 14 survivors escaped the ruins with no life-threatening injuries, with
Komorowski saying the woman they rescued was their “guardian angel”.

Speaking to CBS News, the firefighter said: “We had a special bond with her.
“She was our guardian angel. If she had continued down to the lobby and then
our building came down, we wouldn’t be around.”

The firefighters and Harris remained close in the years after 9/11 until her death in 2011.
At her funeral, the firefighters of Ladder Co. 6 were her pallbearers.

Today, marking 22 years since the tragedy,
Joe Biden will attend a ceremony at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska.
First lady Jill Biden is also due to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon.
At ground zero in New York, Vice President Kamala Harris is due to join the ceremony
on the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum Plaza.
Eddie Ferguson, the fire-rescue chief in Virginia’s Goochland County, said in remembrance: “We were one country, one nation, one people, just like it should be.
“That was the feeling – that everyone came together and did what we could,
where we were at, to try to help.”

Donald Trump September 11 Interview: He Said There Is No Way The Planes
Could Have Penetrated WTC Buildings Without Bombs Exploding on Impact
Thea Conrad November 27, 2016

Donald Trump September 11 interview
A Donald Trump September 11 interview, which recorded him giving a statement on the very same day of the attacks, was uploaded on YouTube in mid-September by the pro-Trump group TrumpCommission.org, which has partnered with 911Experiments.org in seeking the truth about unanswered questions concerning that fateful day in American history.
The people who run TrumpCommission.org believe George W. Bush was actively involved in covering up certain details about the September 11 attacks. On the organization’s homepage, it says, “You [Trump] were one of the first, on the same day, to recognize that bombs must have been used on the WTC towers because steel is so strong. Over 2500 Architects and Engineers agree, along with PhDs in Physics, writing research papers for scholarly journals.”
The reason the Donald Trump September 11 interview exists in the first place is because in the wake of the attacks journalists thought, giving his expertise on real estate and building structure, his opinion regarding the specifics of the devastating damage was worth taking into consideration.
During the Donald Trump September 11 interview, he gives specific details for how the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center buildings were able to penetrate the stalwart steel cage of the buildings’ exterior, saying there had to have been bombs planted that exploded on impact, otherwise it would have been almost impossible for them to cause such damage.

According to Trump, the World Trade Center was different from other edifices in that most other buildings (at least during the time of the interview) are built with steel on the inside surrounding the elevator shafts, but the towers were built with steel from the outside, “which is the strongest structure you can have. It was almost like a can of soup.”
“It wasn’t architectural defect,” Trump said regarding the Twin Towers’ demise.
Donald says during the September 11 interview that he had toured the building that had endured the 1993 World Trade Center bombing a few days after it occurred, claiming the fact that the structure was able to withstand an explosion within its foundation is a testament to how impregnable it really was.

So, if this Donald Trump September 11 interview is to be taken seriously and the soon-to-be U.S. president was correct in his conclusions, how did the terrorists know that crashing into the WTC towers would only be successful with the help of additional explosions?
It seems the Trump Commissioners are counting on Donald to reopen the official investigation into the September 11 attacks.
“There is one man who can cut through all the b.s. –
a man who exemplifies the come back spirit of New York – Donald Trump.”
The big question is, does the president-elect have any plans to reopen the September 11 investigation? Unfortunately, there are mixed reports on this, most of which come from questionable sources. However, Brendan James of International Business Times
wrote an article in 2015 that touches on the possibility of a reopening of the case.

Richard Gage, who originated the September 11 Truther group Architects & Engineers
for 9/11 Truth, has dedicated his life to digging up the actualities surrounding the biggest
terrorist attack to happen on U.S. soil.
James interviewed Gage for his piece and quickly learned that Donald Trump had been in contact with Architects & Engineers after the organization had sent him Truther-related media, of which they’d sent to numerous Washington politicians, but Donald was the only one who’d given them any sort of response. He replied to them by email.
“‘Thank you for your book and DVDs,’ read the email, which Gage forwarded to me. ‘Our advisors will investigate the claims made by the architects and engineers more thoroughly and draw their own conclusions from there. We appreciate your continued support. Sincerely, The Trump Campaign.’”
Keep in mind that this happened in 2015, sometime between when Trump had declared his run for presidency and when James’ article was published on September 11, 2015.

Could it be that the president-elect’s expertise on building structure, illustrated
by the Donald Trump September 11 interview, coupled with the passion from Truther movements, contributed to the rumor mill that he plans to reopen the 9/11 investigation?
In addition to the points Trump brought up in the interview, TrumpCommission.org highlighted other concerns they have, all of which center around what President George W. Bush’s September 11 commission team did not properly look into.
Experts have found “thermitic explosive residue” within the leftover dust that became of the twin towers.
World Trade Center Building 7 went down at 5:20 PM on the day of the attacks seemingly without explanation.
Ostensibly, from 1994 – 2001 the elevator shafts in the WTC buildings had columns that were an ideal resting spot for bombs. Ceiling panels were also an ideal place.
George Bush’s brother, Marvin, worked for the company Securacom, which had guards working at the twin towers.
A man named Larry Silverstein became the WTC’s landlord not long before the attacks and profited more than $4 billion from the devastating aftermath.

These five points are things that, according to the Donald Trump September 11 interview video, Truthers seek the answers to, and they’re putting at least some of their hope on the man who will be the 45th president of the United States.
The recording of this Trump interview is a time capsule representative of a period when the real estate billionaire was seen in an altogether different light than he is now. Do you see the difference?
As far as the Truther movement goes, only time will tell if Donald reopens the case into the attacks. The Donald Trump September 11 interview ends with the following words from the president-elect. “The country is different today, and it’s going to be different than it ever was for many years to come.”

Pennies from Heaven.

Daughter of FDNY hero killed on 9/11 believes dad speaks
to her with haunting ‘pennies from heaven’
Story by Kerry Byrne •4h

The coins at our feet on the street might be more than spare change.
They could be pennies from heaven.
The daughter of one heroic New York City firefighter killed on Sept. 11, 2001
certainly believes in the power of the penny.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001,
US EXPERIENCES THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Tillie Geidel Conklin was just 6 years old when her father, Gary Geidel, left his home on Staten Island for the last time. Now 28 and married, Conklin believes the pennies that appear mysteriously with incredible frequency, at meaningful times and places, are
signs that the spirit of her father is still by her side.

Was one of 343 firefighters killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
His daughter was just six years old at the time. She still shares moving stories
of their love on Instagram, 22 years after he was killed.

Conklin chronicles the often-spine-tingling discoveries on Instagram (@tillie_geidel).
She has inspired faith from strangers and professional skeptics.
“He kissed and hugged me and Mom before he left,” Conklin told
Fox News Digital of her final memory of her father.
“For some reason that day he got to the fence, turned around and hugged us again.”
The grief she’s suffered since that moment is still apparent in her powerful social media account. It’s filled with almost daily memories of her larger-than-life dad, 22 years after
he was killed.
Geidel was a strapping 6-foot-2-inch Staten Island native and Marine Corps veteran
who had been honored for heroism after responding to the first World Trade Center
attack in 1993. He was a member of FDNY’s elite Rescue 1 unit in Midtown Manhattan
on 9/11. Among its specialties, each member of the firehouse is a diver trained in underwater rescue.

‘HOPE’ AND THE LESSONS FROM AFGHANISTAN

Eleven men from Rescue 1 were among the 343 New York City firefighters killed while responding to the hellish inferno at the World Trade Center. Geidel was 44 years old;
Tillie is his only child. “I was truly Daddy’s little girl,” said Conklin, who today lives in upstate New York with her husband, Nick.
The sadness on her Instagram is countered by buoyant posts of resolute patriotism, public faith in Christ, conviction she will embrace her dad again — and haunting tales
of sudden appearances of pennies.

and Police Officer Charlotte Garofalo, daughter Tillie and wife, also Tillie (Mathilda).

“Oh my God, it’s been happening for a very long time,” she said. “Often on very specific occasions or for very specific things. I finally decided to post about it every single time.”
“#penniesfromheaven” — she posted again on Labor Day, with a picture of the latest two coins she encountered.
She’s found pennies at her dad’s firehouse in Manhattan; another on her birthday that was minted in 1994, the year she was born; and on July 8 at the 2023 Fireman’s Day Parade in Port Jervis, New York, a cherished annual small-town tradition that dates back nearly 200 years.
Conklin visited the 9/11 Memorial at the footprint of the World Trade Center for “the first and only time” on Sept. 11, 2021, as the nation marked the 20th anniversary of the horrific terror attacks that took her dad’s life.

Captain Ed O’Connor and former Assistant Chief John Casey. Both worked with Conklin’s father, New York City firefighter Gary Geidel, killed on 9/11. “His Cap told me later on now that he looks at me [that] I look just like my dad,” Conklin posted on Instagram with the photo on May 13, 2023.

The names of every person killed at the World Trade Center are etched on bronze parapets above memorial waterfalls.
“We got down to the site and I had no idea where to go,” she posted on Instagram that day. “I was walking crying when this fireman asked me if everything was OK? I told him I was trying to find my dad’s name … He told me that he lost his whole company and that he was the only one who survived. We held hands as he prayed.”
The firefighter then helped her find her dad’s name on the memorial.
There, beneath Gary Geidel’s name etched on a somber panel, she said,
“was a penny between my feet.”

HERE’S THE REAL REASON YOU SHOULD NEVER PASS A PENNY WITHOUT PICKING IT UP

Offers a public tribute to the 11 men in the unit killed at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Because of that moment, pennies became a cherished memento in the Geidel family, the daughter said.
Conklin often drove with her dad to Conference House Park, an American Revolution landmark on Staten Island, with a large fountain. Conklin still calls it a “wishing well.”
“Dad used to give me pennies to throw into it and tell me to make a wish,” she said.

On the 20th anniversary of the attacks that claimed the life of her firefighter father,
Gary Geidel, when she was just six years old. She met a firefighter who was the only man from his unit to survive that day. He helped her find her dad’s name on the memorial and the two prayed together. She did not get the helpful firefighter’s name.
The hero firefighter, she believes, still uses pennies to communicate with his “little girl,”
to let her know that he loves her. Conklin’s social media penny posts are easy to dismiss
as coincidence wishes for connection and closure from a woman who grew up without
a father after losing him to unspeakable tragedy and trauma.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, APRIL 4, 1973, WORLD TRADE CENTER OPENS IN NYC, CROWED BY TALLEST TOWERS ON EARTH

Yet a reporter experienced a chilling personal encounter with Conklin’s faith in #penniesfromheaven, months after the two met on Instagram by coincidence.
Conklin wrote and released a self-published book about her dad,
“9/11 Through the Eyes of A Daughter” available on Amazon.

She donates the proceeds to AnswerTheCall.org, which supports
the families of New York City first responders killed in the line of duty.
The employee ordered the book, then received and read it on Feb. 26, 2021.
The next morning, leaving the apartment for the first time since the book arrived,
the reporter was stunned. Eight pennies lay scattered at his feet, right outside the
front door, an almost miraculous find on a busy Midtown Manhattan sidewalk.

AHEAD OF SEPT. 11, 2023, WASHINGTON PASTOR URGES, ‘REMEMBER OUR LOVED ONES’ AND FIND ‘PEACE AND PURPOSE’

Firefighter Geidel’s Rescue 1 firehouse is located on the same street, just two blocks away.
“Finding those pennies in front of my apartment the morning after your book arrived was one of those signs that angels are watching out for me,” the reporter texted to Conklin later that year, on Sept. 12, 2021 — after reading on Instagram of her encounter with the firefighter at the 9/11 Memorial the day before.
Conklin continues to share her dad’s story for purposes other than just devotion to dad.
She’s concerned that children in school are no longer being taught the true impact of September 11 and that an event that traumatized families like hers, and a nation,
will be lost to history.

We need to make sure 9’11 first responders and volunteers have treatments.
“It’s so weird now that an entire generation was born after 9/11 and doesn’t really know the terror and heroism that day,” she said. “I feel it’s my responsibility to share the story with the next generation, and the next generation.”

The grief still evident in her posts and her words is buoyed by great hope, she said.
Her faith in Jesus Christ has instilled in her the knowledge that she will meet her father once again — the greatest light in her life that was born of the darkest day in her life.
“I miss you more than you could ever imagine,” Conklin posted to Instagram on Wednesday, with pictures of her as a baby in her dad’s embrace, to the tune of 1970s hit the 5 Stairsteps – O-o-h Child. “Someday, yeah/We’ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun/Someday/When the world is much brighter.”

Spoken Before Death, Can You Predict the Chilling Pattern? (msn.com)

Hospice Nurse Shares “The Rally” Phenomenon That Happens Just Before Death — “Medical Professionals Can’t Explain It”.

Hospice nurse Julie McFadden discusses death and the different end-of-life phenomenon’s that may occur. Follow @hospicenursejulie on TikTok.

What happens right before you die? It’s something I never really thought about, but once again, TikTok has enlightened me and taught me some very important life lessons… or should I say death lessons @hospicenursejulie, – Bing video

McFadden, has been sharing her experiences working in hospice care — and discussing topics like death in order to help others understand the process and alleviate the anxieties they may have about it.

In fact, Julie spoke about two phenomenons that could potentially happen before death — and her descriptions really resonated with users. Keep scrolling to learn all about Hospice Nurse Julie’s work and what she’s experienced firsthand while caring for patients nearing the end of their lives.

Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden explains “the rally” phenomenon.
“Here’s one phenomenon that happens during the death and dying process that medical professionals, like myself, cannot explain,” Julie says in the TikTok below, which has received over five million views. “There’s something that happens that we call ‘the rally.'”

“This is when someone is really sick and almost actively dying, meaning dying within
a few days, and then suddenly they look like they are ‘better,'” she explains, adding that
the person may start walking, talking, and eating again. “They act like their old selves, they have a little bit more of a personality,” she continues to note. But then, that person usually ends up dying within the next few days or sometimes even that night.

Julie says this “happens quite a bit” and estimates that it probably happens to a third of her hospice patients. Because of how frequently “the rally” occurs, she says she tries to educate patients’ families “so it doesn’t devastate them when [their loved one] suddenly passes after doing so well for a few days.”

Users who have experienced “the rally” took to the comment section to verify her claim.
“It happened to my mom who had Alzheimer’s. She remembered everything, ate her food, laughed, told me she loved me, and then left,” one user wrote. Another hospice nurse chimed in with why she thinks “the rally” happens. “I believe it is nature’s way of giving them time to say goodbye, enjoy, or complete unfinished business,” she said.

Meanwhile, Grey’s Anatomy fans immediately recognized “the rally,” but knew it by a different name. Mark Sloan appeared to have been doing better right before he tragically passed away. The doctors at Grey Sloan Hospital referred to this period as “the surge.”

Patients may also see dead loved ones before their death.
In a different TikTok video, Julie details another unexplained phenomenon that can happen before death. She notes that it happens so often that it is included in the education packet she gives to patients and their loved ones.

While she doesn’t have an exact name for this occurrence,
she explains that it usually starts a month or so before the patient dies.

“They start seeing dead relatives, dead friends, old pets that have passed on, spirits, angels that are visiting them, and only they can see them,” she says. She explains that patients might see these figures in a dream, or when they’re awake, and often ask her if she sees them too.

Fortunately, most patients enjoy this.
“They’re usually not afraid, it’s usually very comforting to them and they usually say they’re sending a message like ‘we’re coming to get you soon’ or ‘don’t worry, we’ll help you,'” she confirmed.

In the comments, users shared stories about how they watched loved ones experience this. One user explained that her mom was in the hospital and believed that her dog, Jackie, was laying in bed with her. “He died 50 years ago,” she wrote.

Another user who was in a nursing residency program said her resident had a
full-blown argument with her late husband. The resident passed away a week later.

Pretty deep stuff, right?

“Final Last Words” – Palliative Care Nurse Reveals the Most Common Words Spoken Before Death, Can You Predict the Chilling Pattern?

Trying to Talk About the Taboo
Julie McFadden. Who goes by the Instagram handle (@hospicenursejulie) or Hospice nurse Julie on Facebook has several years of experience caring for patients in their last stages of life.
She has embarked on a mission to demystify the often-taboo subject of death through her presence on social media.
Julie is a dedicated hospice nurse from Los Angeles, California, with 1.3 million followers, sheds light on the moments before death and dispels hospice myths.

Offering End of Life Care
Her role as a hospice nurse primarily involves offering compassionate care to terminally
ill patients, addressing their physical needs and tending to their emotional and spiritual well-being.

Easing Fear Surrounding Death
With a considerable following of 1.3 million on TikTok, Julie utilizes her platform to
share candid information about death, diminishing the fear and stigma surrounding it.

She Has Valuable Knowledge
Julie recently shared valuable insights regarding the behaviors and expressions of individuals approaching their imminent passing. Additionally, she noted that many individuals “call out to their mum or dad – who have usually already died.”

Patients’ Last Words Capture Her Attention
Among these changes, she elucidated shifts in breathing patterns, skin color alterations, terminal secretions, and instances of fever. However, it’s the last words of dying patients that have captured her attention. According to Julie, a recurring sentiment is the utterance of “I love you,” often shortly before their passing.

Everyone is Different
Yet, Julie acknowledges that the experience of death is highly individual, and generalizations might not capture the entirety of the process. Nevertheless, she highlighted that patients whose deaths result from natural causes tend to exhibit comparable symptoms during what she terms the “actively dying phase.”

Changes Occurring During the Final Days
This phase encompasses changes in consciousness, breathing patterns, and skin mottling, accompanied by terminal secretions. Julie reassures that these physical shifts are a natural part of the process and are neither painful nor uncomfortable. She emphasizes the body’s innate ability to navigate this phase, suggesting that minimal intervention often yields better results.

Debunking Hospice Care two Major Myths
Addressing common misconceptions, Julie debunks certain myths associated with hospice care. Contrary to popular belief, not all individuals expire shortly after being admitted to a hospice facility. She also dispels the notion that morphine administration accelerates the dying process.

Helping People Understand What to Expect
Beyond her role in dispelling myths, Julie finds deep gratification in her profession. Her ultimate satisfaction stems from her role in guiding the dying and their families through what can be a daunting and unsettling period. She expresses, “The best part about my job is educating patients and families about death and dying as well as supporting them emotionally and physically. Also, helping them to understand what to expect is another part of my job as a hospice nurse.”

Column: Treasuring the Final Teardrop of a loved one

An opinion piece on people’s final days.
Often patients who are about to die will shed a single tear, and in some instances
a second tear. This phenomenon known as lacrima mortis or the tear of death is a
source of mystery that transcends this mortal realm.

Recommended reads for you:
Dying people often refer to “going home” as they journey to the “other side”.
But mystery surrounds this event. Dr. Lwema Matthew relates the story of a blind nine-year-old with a terminal illness who said he was in contact with three angels and was able to accurately describe what people were wearing even though his eyes had been surgically removed.
Recently members of my brother’s family saw one tear, and later a second, as he was born to eternal life. Palliative care workers and family members attending the dying have often witnessed the shedding of a single tear, or often two, as a loved one leaves this world.

Online comments describe this phenomenon:
“…something I saw touched my heart in a way that will change the way I look at life forever. As he was passing and we were talking to him, a tear welled up in his eye.
‘He’s crying!’ my mom and I said to each other…”
“My Dad died on Easter Sunday of 2014. [When] My sister arrived [and]… started speaking, a single tear ran down his face… I went and sat beside him… telling him
I loved him… He let another tear fall. It broke my heart.”

My suggestion is not to feel sadness over these final tears.
If we are privileged enough to be present at this moment of passage, it will become
a fond memory in time. “Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Some nursing staff attending the dying provide a tear cloth the family may use
to treasure the final tear of a loved one. Some have incorporated these into flower
bouquets at a wedding or some such thing, an attempt to share the beauty of what
we cannot see in these events.

Doctor I. Lichter studied this phenomenon in 100 patients nearing death.
Fourteen shed a final tear at the time of death, and 13 within the last 10 hours of life.
That final tear might reflect the sadness of leaving, but it might reflect seeing the face
of God or the joy of greeting loved ones on the other side.
An experience I have witnessed more than once is that of a dying
person fixing their eyes on something beyond us in the room.

A radiant smile replaces the pain and worry for the moment.
“It is a relaxing of the tear duct that releases that final tear”, some say. If you are like me, you can accept this experience shared by one who lost her mother: “in the final minute of her life she shed a tear… and then about half a minute later another tear flowed exactly the same way… I dabbed [it] up.
“… I think my mom was saying, Thank you kids for being here and taking good care of me, it’s been wonderful and oh my how I would like to continue… but alas it’s not to be so I bid you adieu, both fondly and sadly…
“Mom, we will miss you very much. You were really something. And you wrote a great last chapter for yourself and for your loved ones. Thank you.”

“Final Last Words” – Palliative Care Nurse Reveals the Most Common Words

Spoken Before Death, Can You Predict the Chilling Pattern? (msn.com)

Hospice Nurse Shares “The Rally” Phenomenon That Happens Just Before Death — “Medical Professionals Can’t Explain It”.

Hospice nurse Julie McFadden discusses death and the different end-of-life phenomenon’s that may occur. Follow @hospicenursejulie on TikTok.

What happens right before you die? It’s something I never really thought about, but once again, TikTok has enlightened me and taught me some very important life lessons… or should I say death lessons @hospicenursejulie, – Bing video

McFadden, has been sharing her experiences working in hospice care — and discussing topics like death in order to help others understand the process and alleviate the anxieties they may have about it.

In fact, Julie spoke about two phenomenons that could potentially happen before death — and her descriptions really resonated with users. Keep scrolling to learn all about Hospice Nurse Julie’s work and what she’s experienced firsthand while caring for patients nearing the end of their lives.

Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden explains “the rally” phenomenon.
“Here’s one phenomenon that happens during the death and dying process that medical professionals, like myself, cannot explain,” Julie says in the TikTok below, which has received over five million views. “There’s something that happens that we call ‘the rally.'”

“This is when someone is really sick and almost actively dying, meaning dying within
a few days, and then suddenly they look like they are ‘better,'” she explains, adding that
the person may start walking, talking, and eating again. “They act like their old selves, they have a little bit more of a personality,” she continues to note. But then, that person usually ends up dying within the next few days or sometimes even that night.

Julie says this “happens quite a bit” and estimates that it probably happens to a third of her hospice patients. Because of how frequently “the rally” occurs, she says she tries to educate patients’ families “so it doesn’t devastate them when [their loved one] suddenly passes after doing so well for a few days.”

Users who have experienced “the rally” took to the comment section to verify her claim.
“It happened to my mom who had Alzheimer’s. She remembered everything, ate her food, laughed, told me she loved me, and then left,” one user wrote. Another hospice nurse chimed in with why she thinks “the rally” happens. “I believe it is nature’s way of giving them time to say goodbye, enjoy, or complete unfinished business,” she said.

Meanwhile, Grey’s Anatomy fans immediately recognized “the rally,” but knew it by a different name. Mark Sloan appeared to have been doing better right before he tragically passed away. The doctors at Grey Sloan Hospital referred to this period as “the surge.”

Patients may also see dead loved ones before their death.
In a different TikTok video, Julie details another unexplained phenomenon that can happen before death. She notes that it happens so often that it is included in the education packet she gives to patients and their loved ones.

While she doesn’t have an exact name for this occurrence,
she explains that it usually starts a month or so before the patient dies.

“They start seeing dead relatives, dead friends, old pets that have passed on, spirits, angels that are visiting them, and only they can see them,” she says. She explains that patients might see these figures in a dream, or when they’re awake, and often ask her if she sees them too.

End of Life Cachexia

Posted on September 10, 2023 by Ken

Cachexia. End of Life Cachexia – Search (bing.com)
When the desire to eat leaves, and your weight is low, it would take so many calories
to add any weight and one needs a desire to eat for that. Starvation is what is happening.
A slow slide. Have your end-of-life documents present, at the ready, especially if there is Do-Not-Resuscitate    Guide Using Our Simple Step-By-Step Process.

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Patients with cancer cachexia have been successfully treated in
a small clinical trial with the oral administration of a high-calorie nutritional supplement combined with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oil, Kenneth C. H. Fearon, Cachexia EPA Kenneth C. H. Fearon, FRCS, said at the Society for Nutritional Oncology Adjuvant Therapy (NOAT) annual congress.  Amazon.com : maxepa

This combination of supplements resulted in net weight gain rather than simple weight stabilization. The dietary supplements are now the subject of a randomized trial of 80 patients, said Dr. Fearon, a reader in surgery, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. His group’s goal is to address the metabolic changes that underlie the weight loss and muscle wasting of patients with cachexia while also providing them with conventional nutritional support.

In a study of 20 cachectic patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, patients were asked
to drink two cans per day of an oral supplement combined with EPA,” Dr. Fearon said.
The EPA was in the form of mixed marine triglycerides.
Each 8-oz can of the oral supplement contained 310 kcal, 16 g of protein and 1.09 g of EPA. Drinking two cans a day, therefore, resulted in a dietary increase of about 600 kcal, 32 g of protein, and 2 g of EPA. The total fat increase was 6.5 g.
This drink was an addition to the patient’s diet and did not take the place of other calories. The oral supplement is not commercially available. After 3 weeks of taking this supplement, average weight gain was 1 kg.
The patients dramatically increased their lean body weight, Dr. Fearon said.
He emphasized that water retention was not responsible for the weight gain.
After 7 weeks, average weight gain was 2.5 kg.
“Patients noted a significant trend of increase in appetite, he said.
The nutritional supplement also seemed to inhibit the hypermetabolism that is a frequent component of cachexia. By arresting anorexia and metabolic change, it led to a reversal of cachexia.
“This type of result has never been achieved before with oral supplements, ”
Dr. Fearon said. NOAT president Daniel Nixon, MD, agreed. This is the very first time lean body mass has been put back on a cachectic patient, he said during the question period.

A Multifactorial Problem
Cachexia, which means poor condition in Greek, is characterized by weight loss,
anorexia, early satiety, fatigue, anemia, and edema. Body fat mass is reduced 85%,
and muscle protein is reduced 75%.
Cachexia differs from simple starvation, however, in that non-muscle mass is relatively unaffected, Dr. Fearon said. In simple starvation, muscle mass and non-muscle mass waste similarly. The weight loss of cachexia is caused by increased energy expenditure, reduced food intake, or a combination of the two.
Cachexia is a multifactorial problem that needs a multifactorial approach,
Dr. Fearon said. “The precise metabolic alterations that underlie weight loss and muscle wasting are poorly understood, he said. The dominant mechanism in cachexia, which seems to vary among patients and tumor types, is a raging question in medical science,
he added.”

In animal models:
The action of cytokines has been implicated in the development of cachexia.
The University of Edinburgh group hypothesizes that the metabolic abnormalities seen
in cachexia are caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines interacting with neuroendocrine catabolic factors. The cytokines may be produced by the tumor cells themselves or by the tumor host. However, investigators have been unable to target one dominant cytokine.
An acute-phase protein response (APPR) is a biomarker for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and for the hypermetabolism seen in cachexia. Earlier studies by Dr. Fearon’s group showed that an APPR is a useful predictor of survival in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The group hypothesized that the metabolic disturbances associated with an APPR might be a worthwhile therapeutic target (Falconer JS et al: Cancer 75:2077-2082, 1995).
Fifty years of research had shown that giving cachectic patients more food to eat failed to reverse weight loss, Dr. Fearon said. His group set out to improve the efficacy of conventional nutritional food support.

A Series of Experiments
In one experiment, he said, the group gave fish oil capsules to 18 pancreatic cancer patients who had lost, on average, 16% of their body weight. The capsules, known as Maxepa Soft Gelatin Capsule: Buy bottle of 30 soft gelatin capsules at best price in India | 1mg contained EPA and docosahexaenoic acid. The administration of 12 g/day of MaxEPA was shown to stabilize weight loss or even result in weight gain in the majority of patients (Wigmore SJ et al: Nutrition 12(suppl 1):S27-S30, 1996).
After this experiment, the University of Edinburgh group hypothesized that EPA was the anticachectic agent in fish oil. It appears that EPA acts, in part, by downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokine release and the APP response.
The group then did another series of experiments showing that patients who received high-purity EPA for a month had a significant decrease in their levels of serum C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein. Amazon.com: Solgar MaxEPA – 1000 mg – 60 Softgels : Health & Household
The next step, the one that resulted in the current experiment, was to give additional calories along with the EPA in order to facilitate weight gain. Spirulina and cachexia – Bing video

Spirulina another source of omega-3 from plants and shares similar characteristics
with seaweeds. Vegan DHA content in this food is low, but it has high amounts of EPA
and omega-6 fatty acids. You can sprinkle some powder into your salad or add it to
your morning shake.
What’s more, it is a powerful antioxidant and an alternative to the commercial sugary protein shakes. This is because it contains as much as 70% of protein by dry weight.

Please post your diet suggestions here, not as in “no meat, no dairy, no this, no that” but in a sense of what you are able to eat or get others to eat while they’re going through the Cannabis Oil protocol. Cannabis Oil can have an anti-hunger reaction for many if not most.

Richard Carnell
If the Endocannabinoid System was taught as part of the Basic Biology Curriculum we all learn in school – it would go something like this…
“What I’m about to show you was discovered because of Cannabis and the Cannabinoids it makes – Cannabinoids are an entirely new class of chemicals which is a huge discovery on its own – but how important are they to the human body?

– Our bodies also make their own ‘Endocannabinoids’ from the Omega fats.
– Importantly these Endocannabinoids are used in our bodies to both Activate and Modulate our cells using the Cannabinoid Receptors that are attached to the cell membrane of every cell – that makes them part of our Cellular Biology and where the ECS is directly regulating – there are many of them attached to each cell (the scientists call that ‘high expression’ of these receptors)
-High expression is found in the Brain, the Immune System and the Endocrine System so the ECS directly regulates Neurotransmission, the Immune System and Hormones and it has a hand in everything else…

The metabolization of Endocannabinoids from omega 6 and 3 takes time – though that gives us the opportunity to eat optimally and adjust the ‘ratio’ of Endocannabinoids that will be Activating and Modulating these receptors, the Endocannabinoid System is the largest, most concentrated and widespread neurotransmitting system in our bodies – neurotransmission is how our cells perform the functions that they do, how they are controlled and balanced to work optimally and with ease as they should, that’s what good health IS.

– So whilst the Endocannabinoid System isn’t everything – it is the most important thing to learn about and make changes if we want to remain healthy and effectively protect ourselves from all of the health conditions that plague us, that includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions and everything else – this discovery really is THAT huge and important.
– Cannabis is ALSO able to Activate AND Modulate our receptors and faster than the Omega metabolites because their metabolization takes time and the ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 in our bodies takes time to change – but the Phytocannabinoids (Plant Cannabinoids) from Cannabis work much like the ‘Active’ Omega Endocannabinoids which makes Cannabis an effective tool to adjust the ECS as needed as an effective treatment.
THC works much like the Activating Endocannabinoids made from Omega 6 (Anandamide and 2ag) CBD works much like the Modulating Omega 3 Endocannabinoids but also other Omega 3 metabolites that aren’t Cannabinoids – at times scientists have wondered if CBD is a Cannabinoid at all, but actually it is and also more…

-Additionally DHA from Omega 3 makes up part of the foundation of our cells and their receptors so we need enough of it compared to Omega 6 intake during our growth and development and before birth – the ECS will do the best it can as a regulating system without everything it needs but problems will gradually develop in our later years if they aren’t obvious much earlier.
Cannabis is a Synergistic Toolkit of ‘noids’ with Cannabinoids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Terpenes working Synergistically together to far greater effect than the sum of its parts – the natural variety of Cannabis strains gives us the opportunity to find a plant profile (Cultivar) that works well for any condition or disease and improve it further from there using lab tests to see what’s working for each problem and finding another Cultivar that’s even more effective and so on – thanks to the Global Decriminalization of Cannabis we can now work together as a species to perfect Cannabis for everything we need it for.

On Science’s behalf, I’m sorry it’s taken 30 years for me to be able to reveal this about our Cellular Biology and how important it is for the management of our health, but medicine as we understand it is changing, along with our understanding of how the body uses inflammation and how the ECS regulates it – man isn’t smarter than nature as nature has shown us what we needed to know with Cannabis.
Modern medicine has made some very important discoveries and many are still valid and lifesaving, but they developed all of them whilst deliberately ignoring the most important system that is part of all of the others and regulates them – our health has suffered massively because knowledge of this system and its true relevance has been ignored whilst our diets evolved to harm us, but we know that now.

Cannabis was kept illegal due to the fear of THC but whilst problems do happen – it’s a preventable and fixable imbalance – think of THC as a power button and CBD as a dimmer switch, we were told too much power can be a bad thing and thats true and has been true of our diets – but they didn’t tell us about the dimmer switches, the ECS really IS the dimmer switch for our cellular health – we need the correct level of power and modulation for optimum cellular performance and optimal good health.
– Unfortunately heavy Omega 6 cooking oils have been used because they have higher smoke points and longer shelf lifes – but it wasn’t realised how biologically active these Omega fats are and how damaging a distorted Omega Ratio and the resulting Overactivated ECS is to our health, instead we were told ‘fats are bad’ but actually the Omega fats contained the answers we needed and scientists only knew to look there because of Cannabis, it has shown us the way…

Balance can be achieved dietarily or temporarily as an effective treatment with Cannabis but the best way is both, too much THC or Omega 6 can be a bad thing without enough CBD or Omega 3 and that’s also true of too much CBD and Omega 3 without enough THC and Omega 6 and because the target Is balance which isn’t possible without both – in some ways these are opposites that only together can create Balance – this is also why different ratios of THC and CBD are used to effectively treat different conditions – the effects we experience from Cannabis will depend on the ratio of Omega 6 and 3 metabolites we already have in our bodies, People that have problems using THC and don’t like the effect will have a more severe Omega 3 deficiency but if that happens – now we know we can just use CBD to turn the effect down to comfortable.

After enough people learned this simple truth – Governments weren’t able to justify keeping Cannabis illegal and criminalising people that use it though they did try and showed us who they really work for in the process, if a policy causes and defends Genocide which Cannabis prohibition did for too many years – we will learn the truth eventually – no one, especially an industry that profits from our ill-health and dis-ease has the right to dictate our health choices and what we are and aren’t allowed to use so that we don’t need them as much, a monopoly might be a good thing if it’s completely benevolent, but that isn’t what we had, now we know better and again because of Cannabis.
Now I have a video for you to watch about the true relevance of what we have allowed to be ignored for too long, I’m glad this is finally out there as part of the biology curriculum and I’m allowed to fully talk about it and the hope it brings for our future, this is also what we needed to learn these past 2 years because the ECS regulates the immune system – If we need to turn down severe symptoms from virus’s as an effective treatment – we needed a dimmer switch and we have one already – it’s part of every one of us written on all of our cells – but it wasn’t part of doctors, virologists or epidemiologists training…

Science can be amazing but it can also ignore the most important thing to know.

OG Kush is great for breast cancer because it has certain Terpenes in it that work together. Thank you so much for thinking of me. You’re such a sweetheart. My preference for giving advice for certain strains is that it’s not a sativa because sativa is having people feel anxiety and they don’t want that. It has a certain Terpenes in it.

how can anyone believe that simply “becoming alkaline” will prevent cancer from continuing to develop and possibly thrive?
It’s nonsense. Humans would have to be the most ignorant fools to walk this earth if it was that simple to prevent cancer.

Is juicing better than smoothies for battling cancer?  I have read that juicing means your body gets the raw nutrients from the fruit and veg faster as it’s not lumpy and thick like a smoothie so it has quicker digestion? I’m undecided whether to get a blender or a juicer…

Stopped 99% sugar intake, dairy cut to maybe 2 times a week (as some days I’m not able to eat..but a milkshake helps those days) I drink only distilled water with minerals added back after distilling. I’ve not had much if any appetite and have since the first of the year have lost about 70 lbs. I have been taking organic vinegar (with mother)..about a shot with a Tbsp organic local honey daily ..daily multivitamin, magnesium, vit D3, quercetin, vitamin c

After suffering years with inflammatory bowel diagnosis…having a precancerous tumor and 4 polyps removed Dec 2011. I haven’t returned for colonoscopy…6 years overdue. I had taken the oil on and off with great results (less discomfort, less pain, and finally an end to nearly 2 years of severe diarrhea). Since starting feco.. I’m feeling much better, able to do things I haven’t been able to do for several years. I haven’t got a doctor to monitor me..other than family docs that I don’t mention feco to as of yet.

…to heal my gut! Cancer or not…I am on the mend..one day at time. Thank you !!!
Oh…also been taking a 5 mushroom blend supplement. Praying I am healing and though I have some rough hours, days…it’s no longer weeks or months. For my feco, I prefer Indica strains and usually mix 2 or 3 strains to make a batch. I eat lots less…less everything…but especially meat and processed foods. Weight loss is just a side effect. Of all the diet changes,.drinking gallons of water and determination to be better.

Cathy Carter how do you stop 99% of your sugar intake?
There are sugars in almost everything including fruits and vegetables.

Jon Marsh

“Almost” everything. Until you’re susceptible to sugar feeding cancer, you have to choose everything from the “almost” list and eat it. As bland as it may seem, spice it up with herbs and spices, things known to kill cancer as well. Garlic it up.

Michael Hadler
Jon Marsh The sugar feeding cancer is more of a myth based on actual scientific data except for a few “researchers. A lot of people seem to think you should avoid sugar when you have cancer because of the known risks that it increases your risk for cancer. What they leave out is 5hat it’s not the sugar itself that increases the risk but the obesity itself from consuming too much.

Every cell in your body requires glucose. The closest thing to avoiding sugar I have ever heard from an actual neuro oncologist was to avoid dramatic spikes in sugar intake but he said even that was not founded in actual rigorous science and was more theoretical than anything. I’ve also seen some very loose evidence about it possibly making a difference for hormonal base cancers which brain cancer is not.

Cathy Carter
Michael Hadler I should have said simple sugars and flour products. I eat fruit..I use honey or maple syrup to sweeten and I use lots of spices…many are beneficial for inflammation and healing.

Shaz Van Kann
Juicing is ridiculously time consuming…

Well, for cancer diets both our alternative doctors said, no sugar, no dairy, no meats, a plant-based diet, no processed foods and that is what we have followed, and it worked thus far. You can eventually add some of it back but at the beginning you have to be very ridged! There are tons of other things to eat or substitute. Nuts, nut butters, coconut milk, lots of research on google for substitutions have been doing this since 2014.

Life Expectancy In The U.S. Is Declining at a Rapid Rate –
it is Began Much Earlier Than We Thought (msn.com)

Cachexia. End of Life Cachexia – Search (bing.com)
When the desire to eat leaves, and your weight is low, it would take so many calories
to add any weight and one needs a desire to eat for that. Starvation is what is happening.
A slow slide. Have your end-of-life documents present, at the ready, especially if there is Do-Not-Resuscitate    Guide Using Our Simple Step-By-Step Process.

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Patients with cancer cachexia have been successfully treated in
a small clinical trial with the oral administration of a high-calorie nutritional supplement combined with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from fish oil, Kenneth C. H. Fearon, Cachexia EPA Kenneth C. H. Fearon, FRCS, said at the Society for Nutritional Oncology Adjuvant Therapy (NOAT) annual congress.  Amazon.com : maxepa

This combination of supplements resulted in net weight gain rather than simple weight stabilization. The dietary supplements are now the subject of a randomized trial of 80 patients, said Dr. Fearon, a reader in surgery, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. His group’s goal is to address the metabolic changes that underlie the weight loss and muscle wasting of patients with cachexia while also providing them with conventional nutritional support.

In a study of 20 cachectic patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, patients were asked
to drink two cans per day of an oral supplement combined with EPA,” Dr. Fearon said.
The EPA was in the form of mixed marine triglycerides.
Each 8-oz can of the oral supplement contained 310 kcal, 16 g of protein and 1.09 g of EPA. Drinking two cans a day, therefore, resulted in a dietary increase of about 600 kcal, 32 g of protein, and 2 g of EPA. The total fat increase was 6.5 g.
This drink was an addition to the patient’s diet and did not take the place of other calories. The oral supplement is not commercially available. After 3 weeks of taking this supplement, average weight gain was 1 kg.
The patients dramatically increased their lean body weight, Dr. Fearon said.
He emphasized that water retention was not responsible for the weight gain.
After 7 weeks, average weight gain was 2.5 kg.
“Patients noted a significant trend of increase in appetite, he said.
The nutritional supplement also seemed to inhibit the hypermetabolism that is a frequent component of cachexia. By arresting anorexia and metabolic change, it led to a reversal of cachexia.
“This type of result has never been achieved before with oral supplements, ”
Dr. Fearon said. NOAT president Daniel Nixon, MD, agreed. This is the very first time lean body mass has been put back on a cachectic patient, he said during the question period.

A Multifactorial Problem
Cachexia, which means poor condition in Greek, is characterized by weight loss,
anorexia, early satiety, fatigue, anemia, and edema. Body fat mass is reduced 85%,
and muscle protein is reduced 75%.
Cachexia differs from simple starvation, however, in that non-muscle mass is relatively unaffected, Dr. Fearon said. In simple starvation, muscle mass and non-muscle mass waste similarly. The weight loss of cachexia is caused by increased energy expenditure, reduced food intake, or a combination of the two.
Cachexia is a multifactorial problem that needs a multifactorial approach,
Dr. Fearon said. “The precise metabolic alterations that underlie weight loss and muscle wasting are poorly understood, he said. The dominant mechanism in cachexia, which seems to vary among patients and tumor types, is a raging question in medical science,
he added.”

In animal models:
The action of cytokines has been implicated in the development of cachexia.
The University of Edinburgh group hypothesizes that the metabolic abnormalities seen
in cachexia are caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines interacting with neuroendocrine catabolic factors. The cytokines may be produced by the tumor cells themselves or by the tumor host. However, investigators have been unable to target one dominant cytokine.
An acute-phase protein response (APPR) is a biomarker for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and for the hypermetabolism seen in cachexia. Earlier studies by Dr. Fearon’s group showed that an APPR is a useful predictor of survival in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The group hypothesized that the metabolic disturbances associated with an APPR might be a worthwhile therapeutic target (Falconer JS et al: Cancer 75:2077-2082, 1995).
Fifty years of research had shown that giving cachectic patients more food to eat failed to reverse weight loss, Dr. Fearon said. His group set out to improve the efficacy of conventional nutritional food support.

A Series of Experiments
In one experiment, he said, the group gave fish oil capsules to 18 pancreatic cancer patients who had lost, on average, 16% of their body weight. The capsules, known as Maxepa Soft Gelatin Capsule: Buy bottle of 30 soft gelatin capsules at best price in India | 1mg contained EPA and docosahexaenoic acid. The administration of 12 g/day of MaxEPA was shown to stabilize weight loss or even result in weight gain in the majority of patients (Wigmore SJ et al: Nutrition 12(suppl 1):S27-S30, 1996).
After this experiment, the University of Edinburgh group hypothesized that EPA was the anticachectic agent in fish oil. It appears that EPA acts, in part, by downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokine release and the APP response.
The group then did another series of experiments showing that patients who received high-purity EPA for a month had a significant decrease in their levels of serum C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein. Amazon.com: Solgar MaxEPA – 1000 mg – 60 Softgels : Health & Household
The next step, the one that resulted in the current experiment, was to give additional calories along with the EPA in order to facilitate weight gain. Spirulina and cachexia – Bing video

Richard Carnell
If the Endocannabinoid System was taught as part of the Basic Biology Curriculum we all learn in school – it would go something like this…
“What I’m about to show you was discovered because of Cannabis and the Cannabinoids it makes – Cannabinoids are an entirely new class of chemicals which is a huge discovery on its own – but how important are they to the human body?

– Our bodies also make their own ‘Endocannabinoids’ from the Omega fats.
– Importantly these Endocannabinoids are used in our bodies to both Activate and Modulate our cells using the Cannabinoid Receptors that are attached to the cell membrane of every cell – that makes them part of our Cellular Biology and where the ECS is directly regulating – there are many of them attached to each cell (the scientists call that ‘high expression’ of these receptors)
-High expression is found in the Brain, the Immune System and the Endocrine System so the ECS directly regulates Neurotransmission, the Immune System and Hormones and it has a hand in everything else…

The metabolization of Endocannabinoids from omega 6 and 3 takes time – though that gives us the opportunity to eat optimally and adjust the ‘ratio’ of Endocannabinoids that will be Activating and Modulating these receptors, the Endocannabinoid System is the largest, most concentrated and widespread neurotransmitting system in our bodies – neurotransmission is how our cells perform the functions that they do, how they are controlled and balanced to work optimally and with ease as they should, that’s what good health IS.

– So whilst the Endocannabinoid System isn’t everything – it is the most important thing to learn about and make changes if we want to remain healthy and effectively protect ourselves from all of the health conditions that plague us, that includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions and everything else – this discovery really is THAT huge and important.
– Cannabis is ALSO able to Activate AND Modulate our receptors and faster than the Omega metabolites because their metabolization takes time and the ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 in our bodies takes time to change – but the Phytocannabinoids (Plant Cannabinoids) from Cannabis work much like the ‘Active’ Omega Endocannabinoids which makes Cannabis an effective tool to adjust the ECS as needed as an effective treatment.
THC works much like the Activating Endocannabinoids made from Omega 6 (Anandamide and 2ag) CBD works much like the Modulating Omega 3 Endocannabinoids but also other Omega 3 metabolites that aren’t Cannabinoids – at times scientists have wondered if CBD is a Cannabinoid at all, but actually it is and also more…

-Additionally DHA from Omega 3 makes up part of the foundation of our cells and their receptors so we need enough of it compared to Omega 6 intake during our growth and development and before birth – the ECS will do the best it can as a regulating system without everything it needs but problems will gradually develop in our later years if they aren’t obvious much earlier.
Cannabis is a Synergistic Toolkit of ‘noids’ with Cannabinoids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids and Terpenes working Synergistically together to far greater effect than the sum of its parts – the natural variety of Cannabis strains gives us the opportunity to find a plant profile (Cultivar) that works well for any condition or disease and improve it further from there using lab tests to see what’s working for each problem and finding another Cultivar that’s even more effective and so on – thanks to the Global Decriminalization of Cannabis we can now work together as a species to perfect Cannabis for everything we need it for.

On Science’s behalf, I’m sorry it’s taken 30 years for me to be able to reveal this about our Cellular Biology and how important it is for the management of our health, but medicine as we understand it is changing, along with our understanding of how the body uses inflammation and how the ECS regulates it – man isn’t smarter than nature as nature has shown us what we needed to know with Cannabis.
Modern medicine has made some very important discoveries and many are still valid and lifesaving, but they developed all of them whilst deliberately ignoring the most important system that is part of all of the others and regulates them – our health has suffered massively because knowledge of this system and its true relevance has been ignored whilst our diets evolved to harm us, but we know that now.

Cannabis was kept illegal due to the fear of THC but whilst problems do happen – it’s a preventable and fixable imbalance – think of THC as a power button and CBD as a dimmer switch, we were told too much power can be a bad thing and thats true and has been true of our diets – but they didn’t tell us about the dimmer switches, the ECS really IS the dimmer switch for our cellular health – we need the correct level of power and modulation for optimum cellular performance and optimal good health.
– Unfortunately heavy Omega 6 cooking oils have been used because they have higher smoke points and longer shelf lifes – but it wasn’t realised how biologically active these Omega fats are and how damaging a distorted Omega Ratio and the resulting Overactivated ECS is to our health, instead we were told ‘fats are bad’ but actually the Omega fats contained the answers we needed and scientists only knew to look there because of Cannabis, it has shown us the way…

Balance can be achieved dietarily or temporarily as an effective treatment with Cannabis but the best way is both, too much THC or Omega 6 can be a bad thing without enough CBD or Omega 3 and that’s also true of too much CBD and Omega 3 without enough THC and Omega 6 and because the target Is balance which isn’t possible without both – in some ways these are opposites that only together can create Balance – this is also why different ratios of THC and CBD are used to effectively treat different conditions – the effects we experience from Cannabis will depend on the ratio of Omega 6 and 3 metabolites we already have in our bodies, People that have problems using THC and don’t like the effect will have a more severe Omega 3 deficiency but if that happens – now we know we can just use CBD to turn the effect down to comfortable.

After enough people learned this simple truth – Governments weren’t able to justify keeping Cannabis illegal and criminalising people that use it though they did try and showed us who they really work for in the process, if a policy causes and defends Genocide which Cannabis prohibition did for too many years – we will learn the truth eventually – no one, especially an industry that profits from our ill-health and dis-ease has the right to dictate our health choices and what we are and aren’t allowed to use so that we don’t need them as much, a monopoly might be a good thing if it’s completely benevolent, but that isn’t what we had, now we know better and again because of Cannabis.
Now I have a video for you to watch about the true relevance of what we have allowed to be ignored for too long, I’m glad this is finally out there as part of the biology curriculum and I’m allowed to fully talk about it and the hope it brings for our future, this is also what we needed to learn these past 2 years because the ECS regulates the immune system – If we need to turn down severe symptoms from virus’s as an effective treatment – we needed a dimmer switch and we have one already – it’s part of every one of us written on all of our cells – but it wasn’t part of doctors, virologists or epidemiologists training…

Science can be amazing but it can also ignore the most important thing to know.

Mary Ann Clarke High sugar levels feed inflammation disease and help free radical formation. Adequate intake of super fruits help prevent cancer based on holistic science. There are great potent superfood powders with almost no sugar also.

Linda Hardy
Mary Ann Clarke who told you sugars in fruit caused cancer ? Fruit alkalizes the body where a cancer cannot survive.

Linda Hardy who told you cancer can’t survive in an “alkaline body”? That’s a huge myth, as false as anything.
Zero truth about alkalinity staving off cancer, it actually doesn’t even make sense

Linda Hardy it’s science and the alkaline theory is bunk.
It’s very easy to “get alkaline” by every standard imaginable. It’s also very easy to maintain being “alkaline” so that being actual fact,
how can anyone believe that simply “becoming alkaline” will prevent cancer from continuing to develop and possibly thrive?
It’s nonsense. Humans would have to be the most ignorant fools to walk this earth if it was that simple to prevent cancer.
It’s not even worth discussing, so you can have your opinion but it’s based on nonsense

Linda Hardy
Oh dear seems like I hit a nerve

Jon Marsh

Linda Hardy only because this is the Group I started about 10 years ago and to think it’s as simple as just eating the right “alkaline” diet….
Yeah, ignorance is painful. I was blown away by what is being said about cancer and fasting. I recorded a bit of what he said in regards to fasting.

Rachel Briseno
Gennifer Guzman his name is Dr. Pradnip Jamnadas. He’s a cardiologist from Florida. This particular video is called Fasting for Survival lecture – Search (bing.com)There’s a lot of other doctors that are also saying the same thing ….Dr. William Li, Cancer and Diet —  Dr. Jason Fung Cancer and Diet, Dr. Mark Hyman.Cancer and Diet. You can see them on you tube. Very interesting what they have to say.

Audrey Drummonds
The only thing I could eat while on chemo was egg omelets with cheese, Tomatoes, and onions. All the healthy stuff sounded good.
But I couldn’t keep it down. I would also eat a half bag of cheetos in between treatments.

Emma Clare
Is juicing better than smoothies for battling cancer?  I have read that juicing means your body gets the raw nutrients from the fruit and veg faster as it’s not lumpy and thick like a smoothie so it has quicker digestion? I’m undecided whether to get a blender or a juicer…

Emma Clare
Jon Marsh do you know of any specific smoothie recipes to help fight cancer? Would be grateful to be pointed in the right direction x

Emma Squidge Collens I would literally Google
“Smoothie recipes for cancer” – Bing video

Cannabis juicing Dr. William Courtney – Bing video

Dr. William Courtney is who the guy to Google

The powerful enzymes are destroyed when using a high-speed juicer/blender since it heats up. So if you want optimum juicing, use a slow-moving centrifugal juicer……unfortunately it takes longer. Dr Rudolph Breuss has the best vegetable juicing recipe for cancer! Read his book……

Cathy Carter
Stopped 99% sugar intake, dairy cut to maybe 2 times a week (as some days I’m not able to eat..but a milkshake helps those days) I drink only distilled water with minerals added back after distilling. I’ve not had much if any appetite and have since the first of the year have lost about 70 lbs. I have been taking organic vinegar (with mother)..about a shot with a Tbsp organic local honey daily ..daily multivitamin, magnesium, vit D3, quercetin, vitamin c

After suffering years with inflammatory bowel diagnosis…having a precancerous tumor and 4 polyps removed Dec 2011. I haven’t returned for colonoscopy…6 years overdue. I had taken the oil on and off with great results (less discomfort, less pain, and finally an end to nearly 2 years of severe diarrhea). Since starting feco.. I’m feeling much better, able to do things I haven’t been able to do for several years. I haven’t got a doctor to monitor me..other than family docs that I don’t mention feco to as of yet.

…to heal my gut! Cancer or not…I am on the mend..one day at time. Thank you !!!
Oh…also been taking a 5 mushroom blend supplement. Praying I am healing and though I have some rough hours, days…it’s no longer weeks or months. For my feco, I prefer Indica strains and usually mix 2 or 3 strains to make a batch. I eat lots less…less everything…but especially meat and processed foods. Weight loss is just a side effect. Of all the diet changes,.drinking gallons of water and determination to be better.

Cathy Carter how do you stop 99% of your sugar intake?
There are sugars in almost everything including fruits and vegetables.

Jon Marsh
AuthorAdmin
“Almost” everything. Until you’re susceptible to sugar feeding cancer, you have to choose everything from the “almost” list and eat it. As bland as it may seem, spice it up with herbs and spices, things known to kill cancer as well. Garlic it up.

Michael Hadler
Jon Marsh The sugar feeding cancer is more of a myth based on actual scientific data except for a few “researchers. A lot of people seem to think you should avoid sugar when you have cancer because of the known risks that it increases your risk for cancer. What they leave out is 5hat it’s not the sugar itself that increases the risk but the obesity itself from consuming too much.

Every cell in your body requires glucose. The closest thing to avoiding sugar I have ever heard from an actual neuro oncologist was to avoid dramatic spikes in sugar intake but he said even that was not founded in actual rigorous science and was more theoretical than anything. I’ve also seen some very loose evidence about it possibly making a difference for hormonal base cancers which brain cancer is not.

Cathy Carter
Michael Hadler I should have said simple sugars and flour products. I eat fruit..I use honey or maple syrup to sweeten and I use lots of spices…many are beneficial for inflammation and healing.

Shaz Van Kann
Juicing is ridiculously time consuming…

Kathleen Wheeler
Well, for cancer diets both our alternative doctors said, no sugar, no dairy, no meats, a plant-based diet, no processed foods and that is what we have followed, and it worked thus far. You can eventually add some of it back but at the beginning you have to be very ridged! There are tons of other things to eat or substitute. Nuts, nut butters, coconut milk, lots of research on google for substitutions have been doing this since 2014.

Federal Appeals Court Rules Biden Admin and FBI Coerced Social Media Platforms
Into Censorship — Violating First Amendment | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @MariaBartiromo

This is an Obamanation!

Freedom of Speech is a 2-way street, not only do I get to say what I want, I also get to listen to what I want. If you remove someone’s speech, you are also removing my Right to Hear what they have to say. If I were a Supreme Court Justice, I would have come busting out the front door as soon as the first case of censorship came up and said Hell No, we ain’t doing this as it is totally un Constitutional.

The SCOTUS has turned into a complete joke, they didn’t repeal abortion, they just said they don’t want to be involved, let the states deal with it and somehow that turned into the greatest SCOTUS decision ever. At this point they are completely sold out and useless.

Republicans better make sure there is 1 (one) anthem,
or we will treat the NFL like Bud Light and Disney!
Mr. Goodell is a naive Leftist! You people better start getting things done.
You are incompetent, lazy, and corrupt! You are supposed to represent us.
You better talk to the NFL! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE 2 Anthems!

The Goebbels propaganda machine was much so happy to oblige.
The Uni=party, the new PAGANS. This is a JOKE. (edited)

Okay, so what are we gonna do about it?
Is this another case of Biden, under the strings of the NWO, WEF, etc.,
getting to go free while we just turn the other cheek?

It was more than Big Government censoring; it was social media and Big Gov conspiring together to censor the American People. They blame each other when in fact they worked together.
The title: “Statists Saving One,” is from the leftist credo: “Even if it saves just one;” proffered as justification for removing our rights. Statists Saving One: The Malignant Sophistry of Rights Removal by the Far Left believe very much in what they promulgate. They are truly concerned with the welfare of citizens, and they believe in policies that will benefit the same-at least in their view.

There are neither nefarious purposes, nor any intellectual dishonesty.

It’s about time! House Republicans Investigate Jack Smith For Coercion House Judiciary Probing Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith | The Epoch Times The probe comes after the former lawyer of a witness in one of the Trump cases revealed in a new filing that he was threatened with prosecution by Mr. Smith’s office.

The employee had been threatened with prosecution if he didn’t become a key witness and turn against Trump even though no crime had been committed. A lawyer in Smith’s office implied that the Administration would look more favorably on Mr. Woodward’s candidacy for a judgeship if his client cooperated with the Office of the Special Counsel to get Trump.

Imagine if FB with an audience of billions of people would have told the government to F**k off and revealed to all the world that the government wanted them to censor people, do you think big gov would have backed off? Sure. If the gov tells you to kill someone and you do it, you still violated the law and killed someone, and you still have to pay the price and receive the punishment for the harm done to the victim. Just because you feared for your business is no excuse, they didn’t out the government when it first happened, and that makes them a co-conspirator, not a victim of government overreach.

The Biden Administration has as much disregard and contempt for
the First Amendment as they do for the Second Amendment.

Be clear of impact, motivation to censor. NY post for true information, and accountability actions by court. All identified with no action while Dems engaging again in election interference with violating Trumps rights, and now egregious attempts to remove from ballots, and refuse to give Kennedy security, or recognize as candidate, is pure tyranny.

THE ONLY OTHER RECOURSE IS GOING TO BE ARMED INSURRECTION ON SUCH
A LARGE BASIS,..IT CAN’T BE IGNORED!!! YOUR CALL,..SCOTUS! Will anyone be held accountable? Are there any consequences? Sure, I’ll wait. So what’s the consequence? Don’t do it again ? If they VIOLATED the Constitution in which the people already knew and know they did and still are why are they still in office ? Does that make sense to me ?

Dems are trying to ban Trump from running for President alleging he was involved in a rebellion or insurrection even though he has not been convicted or even charged for that crime. If what Dems allege is upheld, then Dems should be removed from running for the massive voter fraud in 2020 because that’s not just a rebellion or insurrection, that’s a full scale Attack on America and our Const. Dems can’t write their own rules, we All have to live by the same set of rules.

Kids today can’t follow simple directions and don’t know how to listen…
I wish people understood much of it is brain function, including impacts of trauma.
If you have someone who processes things with high sensitivity, and that person experiences trauma, they are not able to toughen up. That’s not how that works.
If anything, the exposure to things that were processed with medium level stress then becomes high level stress because there is much more impact (feeling, thought, etc,)
to process at that time.

Holy shit! I am doing a sports reference.
It’s like standing in the middle of a baseball field at night and having all the stadium lights blind you while everyone screams “Throw the ball!” If you tend to experience loud noises at 3am, and then you experience trauma (side note: trauma in a forming brain as a child-damn!)
Your nervous system is trying to regulate that experience.
The amount of function that comes with this is STRESS and what was a 3,
quickly becomes a 6. This is not what we are made for.
Again, the forming brain. This needs nutrients, safety, normalcy, consistency.
To experience abuse/trauma is to see the brain change its function to survive, cope, survive, cope.
This grinds on any child (or human-period). When this grind becomes a part of daily life, we often silence what tends to make us feel, because to feel it is too much. Too much grief, confusion, anger-just too much.
As someone who as a child constantly heard the phrases about needing to toughen up,
I can’t stress enough how much I wanted to. I don’t particularly enjoy how intense I feel things. While I am grateful that those feelings lead me to process emotions, and gain clarity, it also sucks to have to avoid so many things because the intake can knock you out.

I want this conversation to change.
I want to talk about sensitivity as a normal thing
(not negative, not positive, not strong or weak-a normal thing).
The next time you think someone’s reaction is too much, imagine what has happened to them that was too much, and how few people have paused to help them heal.

Seriously, it was a sports reference!
****Registration ends Sunday for the online community (linktr.ee/natepost).

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m STILL censored, having never violated anything. How’s bout y’all allow me to sue for 60 million? I mean, if some idiot woman can sue Micky D’s for millions, because she spilled coffee on herself… and… *GASP!*…. said coffee was HOT… you know… LIKE COFFEE’S SUPPOSED TO BE? Stripping me of both my Constitutional & God-Given rights? Worth 60 million, easy. Just tell them to STOP giving all OUR MONEY to Ukraine, so they can pay for the PAIN that’s coming their way.

The Biden administration is the most corrupt in history. Run by satanic devils.

Kids today can’t follow simple directions and don’t know how to listen…
I wish people understood much of it is brain function, including impacts of trauma.
If you have someone who processes things with high sensitivity, and that person experiences trauma, they are not able to toughen up. That’s not how that works.
If anything, the exposure to things that were processed with medium level stress then becomes high level stress because there is much more impact (feeling, thought, etc,)
to process at that time.

Holy shit! I am doing a sports reference.
It’s like standing in the middle of a baseball field at night and having all the stadium lights blind you while everyone screams “Throw the ball!” If you tend to experience loud noises at 3am, and then you experience trauma (side note: trauma in a forming brain as a child-damn!)
Your nervous system is trying to regulate that experience.
The amount of function that comes with this is STRESS and what was a 3,
quickly becomes a 6. This is not what we are made for.
Again, the forming brain. This needs nutrients, safety, normalcy, consistency.
To experience abuse/trauma is to see the brain change its function to survive, cope, survive, cope.
This grinds on any child (or human-period). When this grind becomes a part of daily life, we often silence what tends to make us feel, because to feel it is too much. Too much grief, confusion, anger-just too much.
As someone who as a child constantly heard the phrases about needing to toughen up,
I can’t stress enough how much I wanted to. I don’t particularly enjoy how intense I feel things. While I am grateful that those feelings lead me to process emotions, and gain clarity, it also sucks to have to avoid so many things because the intake can knock you out.

I want this conversation to change.
I want to talk about sensitivity as a normal thing
(not negative, not positive, not strong or weak-a normal thing).
The next time you think someone’s reaction is too much, imagine what has happened to them that was too much, and how few people have paused to help them heal.

Seriously, it was a sports reference!

Joni Mitchell’s surprise performance at the Newport Folk Festival on Sunday is already becoming the stuff of legend. The unsuspecting crowd roared as the singer-songwriter stepped onto the stage in her first public performance since suffering a debilitating brain aneurysm in 2015.

And they continued to revel as the nine-time Grammy-winning singer regaled the lucky audience with many of her most beloved songs, including Big Yellow Taxi Just Like This Train A Case of You and Both Sides Now as well as a cover of Summertime. Bing Videos

“The last time Joni performed with guitar in hand in front of a paying audience
was 8,660 days ago, on her 55th birthday,” according to Mitchell’s website.

Many devoted fans never thought this day would come again after Mitchell’s brain aneurysm – an abnormal swelling in an artery in the brain – which left her unable
to speak or walk, much less play the guitar.

In an interview with CBS News following the show, the iconic singer, who is now 78,
talked about losing the ability to speak and walk, or even get out of a chair.
She described the experience of the last few years as “a return to infancy.”

Mitchell also explained that she relearned to play guitar by
watching videos of herself “to see where I put my fingers.”

On Sunday, she delighted festivalgoers when she got up from an opulent,
gold-trimmed armchair to play a guitar solo during a rendition of “Just Like This Train.”

Joni Mitchell’s surprise performance at the Newport Folk Festival on Sunday is already becoming the stuff of legend. The unsuspecting crowd roared as the singer-songwriter stepped onto the stage in her first public performance since suffering a debilitating brain aneurysm in 2015. Dr. Anthony Wang, a neurosurgeon at Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital, is among those who are astounded by Mitchell’s recovery.

“To be able to recover to the point of being able to perform as a musician is really incredible,” Wang told NPR. Brain surgeons often use “return-to-work” as a marker
of a successful functional recovery, he explained. “But very rarely is that work quite
so nuanced.”

Full Story on NPR >

Dr. Anthony Wang, a neurosurgeon at Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital, is among those
who are astounded by Mitchell’s recovery. “To be able to recover to the point of being able
to perform as a musician is really incredible,” Wang told NPR. Brain surgeons often use
“return-to-work” as a marker of a successful functional recovery, he explained.

“But very rarely is that work quite so nuanced.”

While there are different types of aneurysm events, Wang explained that the most life-threatening are those in which the weakened wall of the blood vessel balloons out, then ruptures because of the intense pressure.

“That’s a really dangerous condition and nearly half of those patients die before they ever make it to the hospital,” Wang said “And the ones who do, about half of them are left with permanent neurologic problems.”

For those who do survive a rupture, Wang said “that event will cause problems like paralysis or coma, aphasia and seizures.”

It is unclear what type of aneurysm Mitchell suffered – whether it ruptured at all or was caught in time to prevent that from happening. She was found unconscious in her home on March 31, 2015, and in the years since beginning rehabilitation therapy, she has been fairly private about the details of what occurred.

In either case, Wang said Mitchell’s recovery must have taken immense commitment.

As recently as October 2020, Mitchell told The Guardian that the effects of the brain aneurysm were more devastating than the bout of polio that left her unable to walk as
a child.

“Polio didn’t grab me like that, but the aneurysm took away a lot more, really.
Took away my speech and my ability to walk. And, you know, I got my speech
back quickly, but I’m still struggling with walking,” she said.

What it takes to recover from a brain aneurysm.

Wang suggested the success of her recent recovery is likely three-pronged: the immediate treatment Mitchell received from surgeons to protect the aneurysm from bleeding again. “After that, patients will start their rehabilitation, their physical rehabilitation, their cognitive and mental rehabilitation and so on.” He described this as a “a really, really critical period” when great strides in recovery can be made.

Based on Mitchell’s present ability to function, he said, it appears that she had
“a really good kind of recovery period, which doesn’t happen for everybody but
does happen for a lot of patients.”

Lastly, Wang touched on Mitchell’s will to regain the skills she reportedly lost.
That’s something the singer also spoke about with CBS, saying, “I don’t know,
but the surgeon that did the brain surgery on me, he said I had will and grit.”

When asked if Mitchell’s attempt to relearn how to play guitar was the same
as someone learning to play the instrument for the very first time, Wang said
it’s unclear because it depends on where the aneurysm may have ruptured.

If the injury occurred in areas of the brain that are responsible for motor strength,
Wang said the patient can bounce back by working on strength training. But if it occurs
in parts of the brain that are responsible for coordination of movements, then it is much more complicated.

“So playing an instrument and vocal cord coordination, those sorts of things, are really, super complex fine movements that would take a long time to relearn,” he said.
