***Ken this is my take on the current events & times from Ireland!!!***

OK. Now that the Israeli Zionists have officially declared the Palestinian
people Untermenschen is that considered to be anti-Semitism?
I’ve always been taught that Semitic meant; relating to the peoples
who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic?

In 2017, Hamas released a new policy document which stopped short of recognising Israel, but formally accepted the creation of an interim Palestinian state in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The document also said that Hamas’s struggle is with “occupying Zionist aggressors”, not Jews. 1/4
Leading to Priti Patel in 2021 to announce she is about to proscribe the organization under the Terrorism Act meaning any one who expresses support for Hamas, flies their flag or arranges meetings for the organisation will be in breach of the law and will face up to 14 years in jail. 2/4
One can only presume that the purpose of this is to ensure a better trade deal with Israel and appease the American Zionist lobby with the intention of bringing pressure on the Biden administration to strike a deal with UK. 3/4
Well done to the Zionist lobby. You have realized that the Tory party is a gang of cheap whores easily bought. 4/4

In a time of crisis, Garth Brooks’s brand of good old-fashioned country rock
is what we need. Here is another media myth maker telling us all we love GAA, speak a cupla focail and love C&W crap.

Pfizer has rubbished the claim that Myriam Bourla, the wife of the company’s chief executive Albert Bourla, died from Covid-19 vaccine complications.
Ms Bourla is “alive and well, contrary to what was said on the Internet” —
Kinda sums up this sewer.
You can’t bear the Daily Click Bait when it comes to confusing headlines to sensationalize anything. Today we are told ; the Covid cases could fill half the
ICU beds by next week.

Trump ally Michael Flynn condemned the call for ‘one religion’ in the US and we are surprised?
I Watched a newscast on Israel yesterday. The Israelis claim they have all rights to Palestine and Judea based on history. In the process they have attempted to obliterate Palestine’s Arab history, adopting only Jewish place names etc.
Ruaidhri O’Connor of the Daily Click Bait revels in the fact that; “the crowd, a first full-house in nearly two years, made a difference from the moment they drowned out the Haka with ‘The Fields of Athenry”.

Just over half of Britons did not know that 6 million Jewish people were murdered during the Holocaust. Watch Schindler’s List 3hours 6minutes

I would further state that less than 10% know that 7.4 million Russians died
or that 20 million Chinese perished. Both the Chinese and Russian massacres were driven by ethnicity. 29,450 soldiers from the 26 counties died in WWI and based on the population split that would mean 17,000 men died from the North. Remembrance Day is not a time to hijack it one way or the other.

Oh, if only our medical profession were so honest.
This converts to €280,033 in Ireland.

Overall, across all states and medical specialties, the mean salary of a doctor
in the United States is $294,000/year (Medscape Report). Unfortunately, specific US doctors’ salaries are not publicly available like UK doctor salaries are.  The Average tax rate on this income is 43.54% while the marginal rate is 53.5% leaving the payee with a salary of €169,812.

Nurse’s salaries start at €39,651 rising to €49,227.
On current tax rates in Ontario that means a take home on the top salary of €34,950/PA. Average house price in Ontario is €779,056.  The average doctor salary in Australia is €99,264 P/A. Entry-level positions start at €82,500 P/A. The average in Ireland is €90,400 P/A. According to Domain’s House Price Report, the national median house price in Australia is now €632,690! Am I missing something?

Simon Coveney, Ireland’s Foreign Affairs Minister has informed Israel’s President Isaac Herzog that they must stop settlements. He “gave the clear message that Israel must immediately halt these actions and start to take concrete and sustained confidence measures to begin some level of trust”. 1/2  Unfortunately he did not go so far as to call for a boycott or an arms embargo. He may as well have dished out 50 lines; “I must stop building settlements” 2/2

Covid-19: Government to double down on vaccine certs,
booster shots and antigen tests (irishtimes.com)

An international survey has found citizens are alarmed by the climate crisis, but most believe they are already doing more to preserve the planet than anyone else, including their government, and few are willing to make significant lifestyle changes. The Daily Click Bait is headlining that a TD
told a member of the Oireachtas Covid-19 compliance team that he would “sooner go to jail” than wear a mask in Leinster House. Isn’t the Dail representative of all the republic, including the Loonies?

Goodness me I see that the failed sensationalist hack, Paul Kimmage, from the Daily Click Bait is now trying to get some mileage out of the passing of David Tweed. Last week he was trying to re-milk the Michelle De Bruin story.

Has the man no honour?

Fiona Hill, the former leading Russia adviser to Trump claims the downfall
of Paddy Joe Biden could lead to the death of American democracy?
Madam democracy never existed in the US. Its death would go unnoticed by the majority. The US is and never was a democracy. According to the Daily Click Bait; http://Independent.ie is Ireland’s most read news website ever.
I can see why Ireland still hasn’t moved beyond the valley of the squinting

Jaysus wept! The US are claiming that the murder of
10 Afghan civilians by drone strike did not violate any laws.
It’s no wonder these unstable warmongers should be feared?
No doubt they consider a nuclear strike an admonishment.

E.B.S NOTIFICATION! TIME TO DECERTIFY ELECTION
The US has a nasty tendency to overlook transgressions for the sake
of political usefulness.
They’re still repeating the mistakes of previous generations, putting what’s expedient over what’s right, leaving the civilian souls caught in the crossfire to be forgotten, 1/3 abandoned During the second world war, which everybody overlooks, while the fighting was still going on, the US had already targeted a new archenemy, it’s shocking to see how fluid it is, the changing of enemies. Russia who was once their friend and ally became the source of all evil. But the Nazis, such as Von Braun, who were the pinnacle of evil, suddenly were their best friends. 2/3

I see another group of Loonies, Christ Church, are bidding for theocratic control of the US. Does it not scare the bejesus out of the other world leaders that this country, the US, thinks it is the leader of the free world?
I’m all for combatting global warming but leaving it in the hands of our incompetent politicians will only lead to greater fuel poverty and those that cannot afford EV’s stranded. Is this democratic?

Contrary to all the propaganda from the Goon Party in Q3 ’21 54% of our electricity came from gas with Wind 18%, Coal 13% & the UK interconnector 8%. So let’s close a few more gas powered stations?

How do you win over the public to help fight global warming?

1. You encourage, incentivize the public towards change, not financially cripple them. 2. Lead by example. How? Firstly — without fanfare, adapt all public transport to run on non-fossil fuels in 5 years 3. Incentivize HGV “hauler’s” to abandon fossil fuel trucks 4. Extend the non-fossil fueled rail network at the states expense to encompass freight increases of 160% and subsidize passenger fares. 5. Commit to building 2 nuclear powered stations and in the interim build 4 no. gas fired 400 MW stations to help us transition. 6. Stop patronizing the public. There’s a good boy who may work for the dog but I’m afraid we are long 7. When the public transport system has been de-carbonized, it extends to every place name in the country to, yes you guessed it, encourage greater public use. 4/4 It must be their R.C. upbringing that makes them think that the only way to educate the public is to punish them mentally and financially.

According to Teagasc Ireland had net exports of beef accounting for 442,000 tonnes, making Ireland the largest beef net exporter in the EU and fifth largest in the world. To put this in context. India exports 14 million tonnes of beef annually.  Most Hindus worship the cow and abstain from eating beef, so it might come as a surprise that India has become the world’s second-largest
beef exporter. India has 115 million buffaloes, more than half the world’s population, and produces about 1.53 million tons of beef every year.

Ireland has 6.9 million cattle and produces 520,000 tonnes/year. Why is a meat eating and meat producing country being asked to sacrifice their livelihood when India, a non-meat eating nation will continue to produce. These inequities are just easy targets to get quick results without tackling the bigger issues. You know I’d be much more inclined to support the Environmentalists if they only told the truth and perhaps grasped reality.
Judging by the Sinn Fein’s rise in the polls one can only surmise that the sophisticated Irish electorate can easily be bought for a few pieces of silver (Mike Pence). Morals are something for those with a conscience. It’s paradoxical that the world does not trust or believe the

Taliban yet SF say they are all now good boys & girls so they must be trusted?
The farmers are angry as they’ve been told to cut emissions by 30pc.

Who’s betting that the All Kinds of Everything Party (SF) won’t offer to abandon that one in their craven drive for power?
So Paddy-Joe Biden, contrary to his policy to bar all “offensive” weapons sales to the head chopper kingdom for use against the Houthis in Yemen, has agreed a $500 million arms deal with the head choppers to enhance their attack aircraft. Ireland has a lot to answer for. From the very early days it appears we populated the US with all our loony rejects and Australia with our criminals and the rest of the world is now paying for it. A council worker in the UK who lost his job for comments about Zionism has won his job back plus a £70,000 award.

There is justice after all. The U.S. have assessed that Islamic State in Afghanistan could have the capability of attacking the United States in as little as six months – and has the intention to do so. Meanwhile the US government has revoked China Telecom’s licence in America over national security concerns. One can only surmise that the mind manipulators that run the country believe that the nation must constantly feel threatened to prosper.
It’s no wonder they produce so many unstable people. Hypocrites!

According to the HSE website if you are aged 65 to 79, and do not live in
the long-term residential care, you do not need a booster dose at this time.
Yet 3 people under the age of 60 that I know with no underlying conditions have received their boosters via their GP’s???

Why is Bill Gates buying up all the farm land?
What is the future “turn over” of chemical free steak??

If China’s economy collapses, it won’t just take down Beijing — the US will
fold faster than a deck of cards before it. 人不是奴隸 (Man is not a slave.)

I see the Chief Head Chopper of Saudi Arabia has been accused of being a ‘psychopath’, by his ex-head of intelligence. Of course, Saudi Arabia is now a partner of Israel. What lovely bed fellows. Well now we are seeing the benefits of having the Goons in government.

Thanks to their ill-defined thinking we can look forward to freezing this winter and in the case of people on Group Water Schemes no water.

That’ll save the planet but the humans will just die. In 2020, the Irish Times reported that a five-year investment strategy document, published by the new Irish government, included the potential for “air combat interceptors” for the Air Corp to end our reliance on the RAF. Nothing whatever has been heard since. Is it only me that believes the US must wage war to ensure employment in the armaments industry? They spent a $trillion in Afghanistan, Vietnam cost $843 billion. Iraq $1.01 trillion and Korea $341 billion. For What?

I see Paddy Joe Biden has vowed to defend Taiwan from China!
Note to Taiwanese people; remember Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.

I am becoming more convinced Global Warming is being used to distract us from the likes of the terror state Israel and it’s accomplice. “THE ZIONIST:”
I see Simon Ego is back in the international panel. I know a few wingers in
the competition will be relishing the thought. So Poland wants the financial benefits from the EU but refuses to obey the rules. Time to chuck them and Hungary out and bring in someone else. They could team up with the UK in a trade deal. Poland could export truck drivers and the UK export nationalism.

One of the most popular Thanksgiving-related myths in American history is the notion that Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey as the national symbol of the United States, over the bald eagle. This story also gained popularity in November 1962, when the *New Yorker* featured a cover illustration by Anatole Kovarsky of the Great Seal of the United States with a turkey in the place of the bald eagle. That same decade, the musical *1776* premiered on Broadway, and featured a song called “The Egg”, where Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams compare the birth of a new nation through the Declaration of Independence to an egg hatching. This launches a debate over which bird should symbolize America: John Adams calls for the eagle, Jefferson for the dove, and Franklin (of course) for the turkey. How did we come to associate the symbolism of the turkey with Benjamin Franklin, and is there any truth to it?

In January 1784, Franklin wrote to his daughter, Sarah Bache, and this unpublished letter contains this infamous quote: **“For my own part**
I **wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country.”** But, providing context for this quote shows that Franklin isn’t actually upset by the choice of the bald eagle for the Great Seal. Instead, this is a part of a joke in a letter registering Franklin’s disapproval of the Society of the Cincinnati, a hereditary society founded in 1783 which had adopted the bald eagle as its symbol after the Great Seal. The joke is based on the idea that the Society’s symbol appeared to some to look more like a turkey than an eagle.

“Others object to the Bald Eagle, as looking too much like a *Dindon*, or Turkey.
For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perch’d on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labor of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping and Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little *King Bird* not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the *King birds* from our Country, tho’ exactly fit for that Order of Knights which the French call *Chevaliers d’Industrie*.

I am on this account not displeas’d that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For in Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and with a true original Native of America. Eagles have been found in all Countries, but Turkey was peculiar to ours, the first of the Species seen in Europe being brought to France by the Jesuits from Canada, and serv’d up at the Wedding Table of Charles the ninth. He is besides, tho’ a little vain and silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”

**This is why Franklin calls the bald eagle lazy, a “*King bird*“.**
Though the bald eagle has persisted as the symbol of America, and though Franklin was really just joking about preferring the turkey, his arguments in favor of the turkey ring true. He claims that the turkey, unlike the eagle, is uniquely North American. While bald eagles are native to North America, there are far more species of eagle in Europe and Asia; by comparison, all species of the turkey originated in North America. Franklin goes on to call the turkey courageous and respectable, “tho’ a little vain and silly”, perhaps continuing his connection between the characters of the turkey and the nation.
Did Benjamin Franklin want the turkey on the Great Seal of the United States? No. But the turkey did play a role in one of Franklin’s other legacies: experimentation with electricity. Franklin used turkeys to test electrical shock, and even wrote to Peter Collinson in 1751 that, “Birds kill’d in this Manner eat uncommonly tender.”

How Native American tribes and the US government relate to each other (usafacts.org)

The term “Native American” does not usually refer to Native Hawaiians or Alaskan Natives, such as Aleut, Yup’ik, or Inuit peoples.
Most indigenous people in the U.S. use “American Indian,” while most indigenous people in Canada use “First Nations.” “Native Americans” or “indigenous Americans” are often used for people in both countries.

Ishi (c. 1860–1916) is widely known as the “last wild Indian” in America.
He lived most of his life outside modern culture after his tribe, the Yahi
(of the Yana group) became extinct in the late 1800s because of the
California Gold Rush.
The rest of the Yahi (as well as many members of their parent tribe, the Yana) were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. In 1911, starving and with nowhere to go, he walked out of the wilderness into the town of Oroville, where he would be later studied by anthropologists.

The First Thanksgiving – Bing video

History of Native Americans – Documentary Films
Even though more than 500 years have passed, the native people of the Americas are still often referred to as “Indians” The term “Indian” originated with Christopher Columbus who thought he had landed in the East Indies.
He called the indigenous people “Indians.”
Native Americans and First Nations people speaking a language of the Algonquian group were the first to meet English explorers and, consequently, many words from these languages entered English—for example, caribou (“snow-shoveler”), chipmunk (“red squirrel”), moccasin, moose, muskrat, opossum (“white dog”), papoose (“baby”), pecan (“nut”), powwow (“to dream, to have a vision”), raccoon, skunk (“to urinate” + “fox”), squaw, toboggan, totem, wigwam, and woodchuck.

The word “avocado” is Nahuatl, a Central Mexican/Aztec Indian language, for “testicle.”
Half of the names of U.S. states are derived from Amerindian words, such as Arizona, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Missouri.
Many Native American words have entered the English language, such as chia, chili, chocolate, coyote, guacamole, mesquite, peyote, shack, tamale, tomato, abalone, bayou, cannibal, Chinook, manatee, poncho, and potato.
The word “barbecue” is from the Arawakan Indian language meaning “framework of sticks.”
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Native Americans derive from the Middle East and were Jewish in origin. Native Americans are referred to as “Laminates” in their scripture called *The Book of Mormon*.
The Indian Citizenship Act (Snyder Act) of 1924 granted full U.S. citizenship to America’s indigenous peoples. It was enacted in part due to the recognition of thousands of Native Americans who served in WWI.
Native Americans have been living on the American continent since about 12,000 B.C. They were not a single nation but a rich variety of cultures, peoples, and languages. Some historians believe people have been living in South America for more than 30,000 years.[2]
In the early 1600s, five tribes who were former enemies formed the Iroquois Confederacy. An all-male council who was elected for life made decisions; however, women had the right to fire any councilor.

**Many Native American tribes consider the eagle to be sacred;**
Benjamin Franklin, coauthor of the Constitution, thought the idea of a government like the Iroquois Confederacy could be used by the English colonies. The eagle on the U.S. shield is the Iroquois bald eagle—also a symbol for the Iroquois.
The word “Sioux” was adopted by French explorers who picked it up from the Chippewa tribe. “Sioux” is the Chippewa word for “enemy,” who actually were the Lakota people. So the Sioux are actually the Lakota, a name that means, “Where the people of peace dwell.”
The Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole tribes were called the “Five Civilized Tribes” by early white settlers. They were considered more civilized because of the similarities between their cultures and those of the Europeans, such as planned villages and farms—and some Native Americans were wealthy enough to even own slaves.

Utah is named after the Utes, a people who lived on the edge of the Plains and the Great Basin. Oklahoma is from the Choctaw *Okla homma*, which means “red people.”
In both the U.S. and Canada, governments sought to eradicate Native cultures and identities both militarily and through the aggressive assimilation regimes of boarding schools.
The Nez Perce people helped Lewis and Clark explore the Northwest Territory. They built canoes for them, drew maps of the rivers, and helped them reach the Pacific.

Was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis & Clark expedition
as an interpreter and a guide. She traveled thousands of miles with them from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean between 1804 and 1806.

Some of the Plains tribes built scaffolding or used trees to hold a dead body above ground to protect it from wild animals while it decayed. The Huron people placed the dead body in a coffin and kept it above the ground on poles for up to 12 years before the bones were buried.
Native Americans would use porcupine hairs to make hairbrushes.
Sometimes a stick was cut into the right shape and frayed at the edges
to make a toothbrush.
The Iroquois called maize, beans, and squash the “three sisters.” They were
so important as sources of food that they were thought of as female spirits.

“Mohawk” means “man-eaters” The Mohawk hairstyle is named after the Mohawks, one of the tribes that made up the Iroquois nation. The Mohawk people also liked to keep one side of their scalp cleanly shaven while the other side was painted a bright color.
The elaborate eagle-feather headdress of the Lakota (Sioux), which reached from head to toe, could be worn only by a warrior who had proven his courage in battle. Eagle feathers were high prized because they were thought to be full of spiritual power.

Some papooses (originally an Algonquian word) were built with sharp, projecting points so that if a papoose fell off while the mother was riding a horse, the points would stick in the ground and protect the baby.
A pregnant Iroquois woman would stop eating turtles so that her baby would not grow up clumsy on land, like a turtle. In Navajo communities, pregnant women
would untie their braided hair and free animals like horses in hopes of creating free passage and safe birth for the baby.
When a Plains man killed his first buffalo, he would be given the tastiest part, the tongue. He was expected to decline the offer, however, and instead share it with his friends as a mark of generosity.

The Iroquois celebrated a winter festival similar to trick-or-treating. A small group of teenagers were led singing and dancing around the village by an older woman. They stopped outside people’s houses and waited for presents to be brought out to them.[14]
Some Native Americans created a “Cry Shed,” which was built of earth and represented the troubles and wishes of the community. It was set on fire, and as it burned, it was believed misfortunes were blown away on the wind and hopes were carried to the spirit world.[14]
Probably the most painful Native American ceremony was the Sun Dance of the Plains people. This involved dancers having skewers implanted in their chest muscles and being attached by rope to the sacred cottonwood tree. In return for their pain, they hoped for a plentiful supply of buffalo.
The Green Corn ceremony is a harvest Thanksgiving ceremony that took place, and still does, among Native Americans in the Southeast and Northeast. Thirty or more people dance in pairs, give thanks to the spirits, and then eat a large feast.
Totem Animals and their Meanings – NativeAmericanVault.com

Native Americans of the Northwest like the Haida built totem poles as tall as 40 feet outside their homes to advertise their families’ status. The pole would usually depict animals or birds that were special to the family. Totem poles were also built as a memorial to a family’s ancestors. Christians mistakenly thought that totem poles were statues of the gods.
Sand paintings are grains of colored sand that are painstakingly positioned to form a complicated design of geometric shapes and symbols. The most famous paintings are the sand paintings of the Southwestern Native Americans, such as the Navajo. They view the paintings as spiritual, living beings to be treated with respect.
Warriors of most Plains tribes thought that being able to touch an enemy during a raid without being touched in return was a great honor. This was known as a “coup” and was regarded more highly than actually injuring the enemy or even stealing his horse.

Approximately 22% of America’s 5.2 million Native Americans live on tribal lands.
Approximately 28.2% of American Indians are living below the federal poverty line.

The average life expectancy for Native Americans trails other Americans by almost five years. Approximately 36% of Native peoples with heart disease will die before age 65 compared to 15% of Caucasians. Americans Indians are 177% more likely to die from diabetes than non-Natives. About 500% are more likely to die from tuberculosis, and 82% are more likely to die from suicide.
Native American infant mortality rates are 60% higher than for Caucasians.
Many Native American women were sharpshooters and able horsewomen. Early settlers of the Americas had hunted horses to extinction thousands of years before the Europeans arrived. The reintroduction of horses by the Europeans dramatically influenced American Indian culture. They used the horse for travel, hunting, and warfare.
Even though they were not citizens, over 8,000 Native Americans served during WWI. Native American “code talkers” helped turn the tide of the war

**Over 24,000 Native Americans served during WWII.**
One of the most notable groups was the Navajo Code Talkers, who were a special group of volunteers who created an unbreakable secret code.
The U.S. army was defeated by a combined force of Lakota (Sioux), Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors at the Battle of Little Big Horn (Custer’s Last Stand). The Native Americans were resisting government demands to move to reservations.
The last major battle between Native American Indians and the U.S. government occurred in 1890 at the Battle of Wounded Knee near the Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. An estimated 300 Sioux Indians were killed.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the largest tribal groups in the U.S are the Cherokee, Navajo, Chippewa (Ojibwa), Apache, Choctaw, Iroquois, Lumbee, Pueblo, and Sioux (Lakota).
There are about 4.5 million people of Native American and Alaska Native heritage in the U.S. This group makes up about 1.5% of the U.S. population.
Most scientists believe that the ancestors of today’s Native Americans migrated from Asia to North America. It is purported that as many as 20,000 years ago, they walked across a land bridge that existed at today’s Bering Strait.
The first contact between Native Americans and European people occurred in the 11th century when Norse seafarers encountered indigenous people along the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The Vikings called the Native American people *skraeling*, which means “barbarian” or ‘foreigner.’
Europeans introduced several new and fatal diseases to the Native Americans. The most well-known disease was smallpox, which decimated the Native Americans. Others killers included cholera and measles.

History of Native American Lacrosse | Lacrosse Wiki
Lacrosse was first played by people of the Southeast, especially the Choctaw. French settlers thought the stick looked like a Bishop’s crosier (hooked staff), so when they introduced it to Europe, they called it La Crosse, which became lacrosse.
The U.S. Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 that forced American Indians tribes to agree to cede land east of the Mississippi River. In 1838, the U.S. military forced the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole Indians to walk from Georgia to Louisiana, which has become known as the “Trail of Tears.” Thousands of those who walked died from disease, starvation, and exposure to bitterly cold weather.
The Ghost Dance was a late addition to Native American belief systems, appearing around 1890. It was believed that the ritual dance would help restore the old way of life before the arrival of the Europeans. The dance promised the return of the buffalo and communication with the spirits of the dead. Although the Ghost Dance was peaceful, army authorities outlawed its performance.

The top ten leading causes of death for Native Americans and Alaska Natives in 2010 were 1) cancer, 2) heart disease, 3) unintentional injuries, 4) diabetes, 5) chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, 6) chronic lower respiratory diseases, 7) stroke, 8) suicide, 9) nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis, and 10) influenza and pneumonia).
When Christopher Columbus reached the New World in 1492, there were between 2-18 million Native Americans living there. By 1900, conflict and disease reduced the population to about 250,000 in the U.S and 100,000 in Canada.
There are 566 federally recognized Native American tribes, in addition to an unknown number of tribes that are not federally recognized.
The projected U.S. population of American Indians and Alaska Natives for July 1, 2060, is estimated to be 11.2 million, which will make up about 2.7% of the U.S population.[3]
As of 2013, there were 14 states with more than 100,000 American Indian and Alaska Native Residents: California, Oklahoma, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Washington, New York, North Carolina, Florida, Alaska, Michigan, Oregon, Colorado, and Minnesota.
In 2013, the states with the highest percentage of American Indian and Alaska Native population were Alaska (14.3%), Oklahoma (7.5%), New Mexico (9.1%), South Dakota (8.5%), and Montana (6.8%).

Approximately 28.2% of American Indians are living below the federal poverty line.
The number of suicides of young Native Americans is more than 3 times the national average and up to 10 times the average on some reservations. Researchers note that several factors contribute to the high rate, including poverty, unemployment, domestic violence, sexual assault, alcoholism, and drug addiction. Native American young adults are twice as likely as any other ethnic group to die before the age of 24.

One quarter of Native American children live in poverty, compared to 13% in the United States. Native American teens graduate high school at a rate 17% lower than the national average while substance-abuse rates are higher.
Over 75% of residents on Indian reservations in the U.S. are non-Indians.
A young girl born on an Indian reservation has a 1 in 3 chance or higher that she will be abused during the course of her life. Native women experience the highest rates of assault of any group in the United States. This is partly because of complex jurisdiction laws of non-Native Americans who persecute Native women on tribal lands.
The Battle of Kelley Creek, known as Last Massacre, is considered to be one of the last known massacres between Native Americans and forces of the United States and a closing event of the American Indian warfare era. In 1911, a small group of Shoshones and Bannocks killed four investigative agents on a ranch.

“Geronimo” (1829–1909) means “one who yawns.” He helped the Apache defend their land against the encroachment of the U.S. on their tribal lands for over 25 years.
Sitting Bull (1831–1890) is one of the most famous Native Americans in history. He was a Hunkpapa Lakota medicine man who became famous for his major victory at the Battle of Little Bighorn. He later became friends with Annie Oakley, calling her “Little Sure Shot.”
Oakley from Darke Co., in Ohio was known for her ability to repeatedly split a playing card, edge-on and put several more holes in it before it could touch the ground while using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet.

Pocahontas (c. 1595–1617) was born Matoaka and was also known as Amonute. The name “Pocahontas” (meaning “the naughty one” or “spoiled child”) was a childhood nickname that referred to her frolicsome nature. In her last days, she went by Rebecca Rolfe. The marriage between John Rolfe and Pocahontas was the first recorded interracial marriage in American history.
Several First Families in Virginia trace their roots to Pocahontas, such as Edith Wilson (wife of Woodrow Wilson) and Nancy Reagan.
The average African-American genome is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American. Latinos have an average of 18% Native American ancestry, 65.1% European ancestry, and 6.2% African ancestry.

Does Cher have any Cherokee ancestry? (dnaconsultants.com)
Many celebrities claim to have Native American ancestry, including Cher, Anthony Quinn, Ava Gardner, James Earl Jones, Lou Diamond Phillips,
Anne Hathaway, Megan Fox, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Billy Bob Thornton,
Bob Barker, Burt Reynolds, Johnny Depp, Rosa Parks, Kevin Costner,
Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Ludacris, Jimi Hendrix, the Jonas Brothers, Elvis Presley, and Oprah Winfrey.
Elizabeth Warren, a U.S. senator, claimed minority statues during law school, insisting she is 1/32 Native American.
Linguist Joseph Greensburg studied over 1,500 American Indian languages.
He claimed that all could be placed into one of three groups. His work, plus studies done on blood types and teeth, suggests that there were three separate migrations from Asia into the Americas.

I’d wager that most people (including me, until now) aren’t aware that over half the states that make up the union we call the United States are actually Native American words for the land or the people that White settlers simply adopted as they spread across the West. Here are all 26 states as well as the meaning of their names according to the Nevada Dept. of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and various state websites.

1. “Alabama” – Named after the Alibamu, the name of the Muskogean tribe, who were members of the Creek Confederacy. Literally, it means “clears the thicket.” meaning “those who clear land for agricultural purposes.”
2. Alaska – From the word “Alakshak’ which means peninsula.
3. “Arizona” is from the Papago word airzonac, which means “small springs.”
4. “Arkansas” is from the Quapaw, also known as the Akansea, a tribe whose name means “downstream people.”
5. Connecticut – From the expression “quinnitukg-ut” which means “at the long tidal river.”
6. “Dakota” is the tribal name of the Sioux, meaning “allies.”
7. Georgia The name Georgia is presumably derived from the **Persian name for Georgians, gurğ, ğurğ**. Some of the famous Native American Indians include the Apalache, Cherokee, Choctaw, Hitchiti, Miccosukee, Oconee, Muscogee Creek, Yamasee, Timucua, Yucci, and the Guale.
8. Hawaii – From the words “Havaiki” or “Hawaiki,” which was the legendary name of the original Polynesian homeland.
9. Idaho – Derived from one of three sources and meaning one of three things:

Comanche “Idahi”
Shoshone “ee-dah-how” which means something like “Good Morning”
Salmon River Tribe of Indians “Ida” means salmon and “ho” means tribe so we might be saying “Salmon eaters”.
10. Illinois – “Illinois” is the French spelling of the term iliniwok, From “ilhiniwek” or “illiniwek”. “Illini” means “man” and “iwek” makes the word plural, so, literally, “men.”
which means “superior men” or “warriors” in the Illinois and Peoria languages and is the name of the confederacy of the Algonquian tribes.
11. “Iowa” – Named after the . is the name of a Native American Ioway Indians tribe meaning “sleepy ones.”
12. Kansas – Named after the Kansa Indians.

13. “Kentucky” is believed to be derived from the Native American word *kenta*, which means one of three things: meadow lands, cane and turkey lands, or dark and bloody ground.
“Kentucky” is one of the nearly half of U.S. states’ names derived from Amerindian words.
14. “Massachusetts” is the name of an Algonquian tribe meaning “at or about the great hill.”
15. Michigan – From the Chippewa Indian word *michigamea*, “Michigama” meaning “water lake.”
16. Minnesota – From the Dakota Indian word “Minisota” meaning “whitish or sky-tinted water.”
17. Mississippi – “Mississippi” is from the Algonquian word misi, meaning “great,” and sipi, meaning “water.”
From the Choctaw word meaning “Great water” or “Father of Waters.”
18. “Missouri” is from the name of a Native American tribe meaning “great muddy,”
which refers to “Town of the large canoes” on the Missouri River.
19. Nebraska – From the Oto Indian word meaning “flat water.”

20. New Mexico – Named after Mexico, of course. Means “place of the Mexica.” One source says that it’s derived from the name of an Aztec god, “Mertili” .
21. Ohio – From the Iroquois word meaning “beautiful river.”
22. Oklahoma – From the Choctaw word meaning “red people.”
23. Dakota Territory – The Indian word “Dahkota” means “friends” or “allies”.
24. Tennessee – From the Cherokee “Tanasi” which was a village. The word means one of three things: “meeting place”, “winding river”, or “river of the great bend”.
25. “Texas” is the name of a group of Native Caddo Indian American tribes meaning “friends” or “allies.”
26. Utah – Derived from the Ute Indian word “Yuta” meaning “people who live high in the mountains.”
27. Wisconsin – The Native language origin of “Wisconsin” (the name of a group of tribes living on the Wisconsin River) is now obscure, but one theory holds it comes from
the Miami word meskonsing, meaning “it lies red” and another says it originates from an Ojibwa word “Wishkonsing” meaning “place of the beaver.”
28. Wyoming – “On the Great Plain.” Thought Catalog Logo Mark

Sites of Native American villages became trading posts, and then forts or villages, and later major cities—for example, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Pocatello, and many others.

Overcoming The Variants

Posted on November 18, 2021 by Ken

Trillions of viruses fall from the sky each day | Are We Afraid To Go Outside   – NY Times

I remember it well: Last year when I came into contact with the Covid Virus.
I was driving my car down the road and within 3/4 mile I went from feeling myself to not knowing where I was at. Two weeks prior to that. I felt something was awry with my body with a dry scratchy throat & cough and Covid brain fog. When I finally made my way home I had a fever with severe diarrhea.
I immediately had a bowel movement and became exhausted laid down with a fever and no smell or taste. Fortunately, I knew instinctively through my research what to do.

Fight Covid-19 | You wash your hands, WHY NOT WASH YOUR SINUSES?

Prior I did buy 4 bottles of Schweppes Tonic Water which my uncle told me kept his fever down and helped him overcome Covid, 2 bottles of mouthwash
(I gargled several times a day until I obtained results) and XLEAR RESCUE Sinus spray. When I had that Woody Taste out of my mouth and smell & taste back after a few days. I drank lots of water because I was dehydrated. I ate Greek Yogurt, Mini Wheats for the fiber & cans of cooked spinach to get my iron back into my blood (be careful if you have problems with kidney stones.)

Those were my go to things that kept the virus out of my digestive tract.
It has only been recently did I learn from Tree of Life Health Solutions in Greenville Ohio; That Dandy Blend Tea – (taste great) would help get the swelling and fluid out of my legs.

This year I have added 5000 IU Soft Gels of Vitamin D3 daily for prevention.
Vitamin D3 helps support immune health as well as various other important functions in the body. As part of your daily health routine, take regular D3 supplementation can help protect you against seasonal and environmental threats. Additionally, by helping support immune cell function & promoting healthy immune responses, D3 can help reduce common oxidative stress. KG

HOW VIRUSES WORK:
HOW TO PREVENT & ELIMINATE THEM NATURALLY.
We have identified more than 2,000 viruses, though only 10% infect humans. Scientists used to think human viruses do not affect animals and animal viruses do not affect humans, but we now know that viruses not only jump species, sometimes they combine to create new strains. New strains can present a clear threat to human survival.

In 1918 the Spanish flu pandemic was a global killer. Estimates of the dead range from 20-100 million, up to 5% of the population–all within one year. Unlike previous flu pandemics and epidemics, this flu strain killed healthy adults, whereas most flu strains targeted children, elderly, and infirmed.
More people died in this one-year pandemic than the four years of the
bubonic plague.
We often hear that many dangerous strains of influenza begin in China. This belief is based on the dense population of humans living in close proximity to high populations of animals. Many dangerous viral strains have been found to originate in China jumping from birds or pigs to the human population.
Birds alone have been found to carry as many as 15 viral strains.

How Can You Treat a Virus Naturally?
Herbs, Vitamins, and Natural Antivirals

**What is a Virus?**
A virus is a pathogenic, parasitic organism that isn’t classified as being alive, since a cell is an essential to our definition of life. A virus alone has no cell membrane, no metabolism, no respiration and cannot replicate outside of a living cell. A virus is a creepy half-live, single strand or double strand of DNA or RNA or both, looking for a cell to invade. Once inside, it reprograms the cell with its DNA or RNA and multiplies on mass, bursting through the cell with a thousand or more new virus strains seeking new cells to invade.
RNA viruses mutate more easily than DNA viruses. (SARS, bird flu, West Nile virus, swine flu, hepatitis, measles, polio, yellow fever, and Ebola are among the many RNA viruses). If two viruses invade the same cell (a bird virus and a human virus, for instance) their DNA can combine to form a new virus, the potentially virulent one. The same is true if two animal viruses combine and jump species to humans.

Viruses have two life cycles: the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle.

**Lytic Cycle**
In the lytic cycle, the virus focuses on reproduction. It invades a cell, inserts
its DNA and creates thousands of copies of itself, bursts through the cell membrane, killing the cell, and each new viral strand invades new cells replicating the process.

**Lysogenic Cycle**
In the lysogenic cycle, viruses remain dormant within its host cells. The virus may remain dormant for years. Herpes and chickenpox are good examples. (Chicken pox can cause shingles in later life when the dormant virus reactivates.)

**How Does the Body Fight a Virus?**
Our bodies fight off invading organisms, including viruses, all the time. Our first line of defense is the skin, mucous, and stomach acid. If we inhale a virus, mucous traps it and tries to expel it. If it is swallowed, stomach acid may kill it. If the virus gets past the first line of defense, the innate immune system comes into play.
The phagocytes wage war and release interferon to protect surrounding cells.
If they cannot destroy the invading force, the phagocytes call the lymphocytes into play.
Our lymphocytes, T cells and B cells, retain a memory of any previous infection that was serious enough to bring them into the battle. Antibodies were formed and the body knows how to fight any infection it recognizes.
(This is how vaccinations work. The body has fought a similar infection). But viruses can mutate, sometimes so much that they body cannot recognize them as a similar infection they fought in the past. They can also be so fast acting, they can kill before the lymphocytes are brought into play.

**How Does Conventional Medicine Treat a Virus?**
Antiviral medications do not directly kill the virus; they trap it within the cell, keeping it from reproducing. The only catch is that the antiviral has to be taken within 48 hours of symptom onset or it doesn’t work.
Antibiotics don’t kill viruses. They kill bacteria, not viruses. And they kill good bacteria that we need to keep our gut in balance. Taking antibiotics when you have a viral infection can cause an immediate overgrowth of Candida, giving the immune system an additional system-wide infection to deal with when it needs all of its resources to fight a viral infection.
Conventional treatment is supportive treatment–fluids, medications for symptoms (such as asthma medication), but no medications have ever been developed to kill the virus itself.

**How Can You Treat a Virus Naturally?**
Don’t panic. Most viruses don’t affect us. But still, it brings up a point. Viral infections are a symptom of a weak immune system. Your immune system is wholly dependent on your gut health. A sick gut has an abundance of fungi and other pathogens, and a healthy gut has a wide variety of beneficial bacteria.
The supplements listed below are a half measure. A healthy nutrient dense diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a body void of as many toxins as possible is the first and foremost defense. If you want to skip the shortcuts and truly fortify your immune system, read the following articles:

*Best Supplements To Kill Candida and Everything Else You*
*Ever Wanted To Know About Fungal Infections & Gut Health*
*Detox Cheap and Easy Without Fasting – Recipes Included*
*Stop Eating Like That and Start Eating Like This – Your Guide to Homeostasis Through Diet*

A healthy immune system begins in the gut with a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria. For far too many Americans, Candida overgrowth compromises the immune system, as it is constantly fighting the battle to keep Candida in control.
If you do become ill, DO NOT feed the virus or the Candida with sugar.
Yes, you need to drink a lot of fluids, don’t drink sodas and sugary juices
at this time. Cranberry lemonade sweetened with stevia is a good choice.
Try it warm or cold.

Gargle. Gargle. Gargle. Gargling lowers the viral load.
Leaving your body with fewer invaders to replicate. Gargle with organic
apple cider vinegar. Even better, sip on this Mother Earth Organic Root Cider.
Cold and flu often start in the throat or the nasal cavities. At the first sign of
a sore throat or sinus infection, sip on the root cider! If you don’t have it, use apple cider vinegar. Remember that a fever is one of nature’s means to fight infection. Of course, you don’t want it to get too high (higher than 102) and drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

Due diligence is the investigation or exercise of care when choosing which brand of supplement to buy. What works for one person may not work for another while everybody’s limit is different. Vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin C are all vital nutrients for the immune system. If you take high doses of vitamin C to fight a virus, remember that you should not abruptly stop taking vitamin C. You should titrate down. Vitamin C is needed by the immune system to make interferon, which the immune system produces to protect healthy cells from viral invasion.

Protocol For Not Getting Sick.
If you’re prone to viral infections or are dealing with a chronic infection like HIV, as mentioned above, the first step is to get your gut in shape. This is absolutely imperative. The best article to do that with is *Best Supplements To Kill Candida and Everything Else You Ever Wanted To Know About Fungal Infections & Gut Health*. Everyone who is chronically ill has an abundance of Candida. Yes, everyone.
Provided your gut is healthy, or if you just feel the need to skip that part, here are the supplements to take in order to make sure your immune system is able to fight off viruses:

Mother Earth Organic Root Cider – Barrier Island Organics –
sip on it 5+ times a day, 10+ if experiencing a sore throat.

Shillington’s Echinacea – echinacea has been proven to boost the immune system.
Shillington’s Blood Detox – keeps the blood clean, helps eliminate toxins and pathogens.
Total Nutrition Formula – a nutritional formula high in vitamin C that also helps detoxify and offers lots of protein.
Micro-Defense – Pure Encapsulations – a formula that helps to clear out pathogens in the gut.
Berberine – antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-everything bad, this is a potent immune booster with a host of other benefits.
Vitamin D – if you’re low on vitamin D your immune system is weak.
Vitamin C – I assume we all know how much vitamin C boosts the immune system by now
While there are most supplements listed above, the combination of these listed here is more than enough to balance out the body and ward off viral infection.

VACCINE PRIMER: AN INOCULATION
By Elliott Freed

**4 Questions that May Change Your Mind about Vaccines.**

Legal Disclaimer: This article is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure a disease. Nor is it intended as medical advice.

The reader is responsible for their decisions and their health.
Vaccines are a difficult issue for many people to discuss. Some people become highly charged and either defensive or aggressive when discussing them.

**The public dialogue seems polarized.**
On one side are the small but vocal group of people who raise concerns about vaccines. Most of these people are parents with vaccine injured children, the scientists who study vaccine injury and the doctors who treat these children.

On the other side is the news media who shut out their stories and the seeming majority of the public. I have heard more than a few stories of family members cutting off relationships when they found out there was a vaccine injury.

Rather than listen to their child or sibling and be forced to question their
faith in vaccines and the establishment that creates and administers them,
they simply cut the family in half.

It is my belief that most people are open to the truth in a less emotionally charged way. They are curious what the hubbub is about but do not feel comfortable speaking publicly because of the intensity of the response
from the more vocal elements in the conversation.

We don’t have any great love for the government and industry. It would not surprise us to discover they are up to shenanigans yet again. It seems par for the course. But we more or less trust our doctor. For us to bother questioning them and doing our own research on a routine medical procedure usually requires some kind of major trauma or shock.

In doing the research summarized in this article I have met many families who have experienced that trauma and shock through vaccine injury. In some cases the child died.

A couple years ago a dear friend lost her two month old child to vaccination.
This was confirmed by three separate pathologists and a six month police investigation.

How is it that there is a clear, scientific, legally recognized way to determine when a child dies from a vaccine yet the vast majority of the public and even most doctors insist it is not possible?

If the scientifically and legally established fact that vaccines can kill a baby is not known by the public or acknowledged by doctors, what else about vaccines remains hidden in plain view?

This article is for those who want the facts, regardless of their personal or social ramifications.

We introduce the important questions about vaccines. What does the clearly documented historical record say about their role in the decline of infectious diseases? What is known about the dangers of vaccines? When considering
the cost-benefit ratio of vaccines, what questions must we ask?

This issue is very complicated and not easy to understand. Please approach
it with an open and curious mind, yet also with a healthy dose of skepticism.

There is a lot of heavy fire power at play in this conversation. As you contemplate these questions and search for answers, stay low to the ground. Think like a scientist. Ignore the declarations and look at the data. Look at what is happening and look for the science that explains what is happening.
Be skeptical of the people who deny what is happening. And look out for confirmation bias and financial interests.

Editors in chief of three of the four leading medical journals in the world have spoken and written publicly about the unreliability of medical science and the way it is more of a social phenomenon than a scientific one. Medical science has long been skewed by the profit motive. [1]

**Without further ado, here are the questions to begin considering.**

**Question #1: Did vaccines save us from the deadly pandemics?**
The United Kingdom was the first country to keep data on mortality from infectious diseases in 1838. The U.S. began in 1900. Other countries have
other time frames but the trends are roughly similar.

In the U.K. some of the biggest killers of the 19th century were scarlet fever, typhoid, cholera, measles and whooping cough, also known as pertussis.

**Small pox was statistically more rare.**

The only vaccine available in the 19th century was for smallpox.
Invented by Edward Jenner in 1796, throughout the 19th century it was
always associated with outbreaks of small pox. Most of the people who died of smallpox in these outbreaks had been vaccinated. In 1885 the city of Leicester turned away from vaccination and embraced quarantine and sanitation.

Smallpox virtually disappeared in Leicester within a couple years.
Within a decade quarantine had replaced vaccination throughout
the country and by 1902 small pox was very rare in the U.K.

Quarantine is now the preferred method of containing infectious outbreaks.
Its how we dealt with SARS and Ebola. It is also how we eradicated small pox around the world. While people credit vaccines, they were only one part of the eradication drive. When cases were identified they were quarantined and vaccinated. Much of the world never had extensive small pox vaccination campaigns.

Cholera, typhoid and scarlet fever are all now very rare in the first world.
There are no vaccines or significant vaccine campaigns for any of them.
They faded for other reasons.

In the U.K. the death rate for whooping cough had declined by 99.74% by the time the vaccine became common in the 1950s. The death rate from measles had declined by 99.96% by the time the vaccine was introduced in 1968.
In the U.S. we see from C.D.C. data, culled from a study published by the AMA, that the death rate from infectious diseases had bottomed out by the time vaccines were being used. It has not changed significantly in the past 65 years, since before the polio vaccine was introduced. [2]
Even the tale of polio is more complicated than first meets the eye. Polio was the diagnosis given to anybody presenting with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) for 24 hours. There were about a thousand cases a year in the U.S. up until 1943. From 1943 to 1952 cases of AFP skyrocketed. They all received the diagnosis of polio. Most people recovered beginning within one to two weeks of onset. A few did not. In the worst year, 1952, about 3,500 people in the U.S. succumbed to AFP, called polio at the time.

During this time there was a lively debate among the scientific community about what was causing the outbreak of AFP. While there was strong evidence that it was DDT the money and publicity behind the viral theory won out.
Despite the public victory, by 1952 it was becoming clear that DDT was the likely culprit. Invented in the late 19th century as a nerve gas chemical weapon, in 1938 it was repackaged for use as a mosquito killer. It was applied liberally from 1943 through 1952 on swimming pools and school cafeterias full of children.

While there has never been a public admission that DDT was responsible for the outbreak of AFP, in 1953 they stopped spraying it on children. In two years the rate of AFP dropped by one third. The next year the death rate dropped by half. Today DDT is illegal in many countries, including the U.S.

In April, 1955, the polio vaccine was introduced. Cases of paralysis increased, largely among the vaccinated. But diagnostic criteria were changed for “polio.” Instead of 24 hours one had to be paralyzed for 50 to 70 days and the C.D.C. themselves had to find the polio virus in the stool.
Cases of “polio” virtually disappeared while cases of AFP went uncounted.
Today the C.D.C. does not keep track of cases of AFP. [3]

Thus “polio” was eradicated but we still have roughly the same level of AFP
as we had before 1943. There are now dozens of known causes of AFP and a
few people with the symptom have the polio virus. Many people point to the eradication of polio in India that has been talked of in the media as proof the vaccine is working.

**Again, we have to look more closely.**

According to the WHO, the rate of AFP has increased about 1,000 percent
in India since the vaccination campaign began. They call it “non polio” AFP because everybody has been vaccinated. This assumes the vaccine works.
As we saw in the U.S. it actually is causing more paralysis. Dr. Jacob Puliyel
is the head of pediatrics at St. Stephens Hospital in Delhi, India and a member of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization of the Government of India. In February of 2015 he published a study in the leading pediatric medical journal in the world. He found that the 10 fold increase in paralysis was due to the polio vaccine. Not only that, the case fatality rate was higher as well, so it was a more deadly form of AFP than whatever people had before.

**Did we eradicate “polio?” Maybe. But at what cost?**

We increased paralysis 10 fold and the death rate even higher.
This should give one pause.

When people, even the government or the spokespeople for the vaccine manufacturers themselves make declarations that vaccines have saved millions of lives, ask for the hard data. Clearly in the U.K. & in the U.S. and with “polio” in India, this is not the case, even according to the data from the people making the claims. [4]

**Question #2: If vaccines are not saving us from deadly pandemics,**
**are they at least protecting us from getting the illnesses and thereby improving our health?**

While the data on deaths from infectious diseases is pretty cut and dry,
at least in the cases mentioned above, this question is more complex.

**Vaccines cause diseases. That is the whole point of vaccines.**
The theory is they cause a mild form of the disease that prepares the body to fight off the more severe natural form later. When somebody uses the phrase, “vaccine preventable disease,” proceed with caution. There is no such thing. Vaccines are intended to cause diseases. It is quite likely that anybody who does not know this may also not know other important things about vaccines. When we vaccinate we are choosing the vaccine version of the disease over the natural version.

In considering the cost-benefit analysis of vaccine induced diseases we have to consider a few key points. I summarize them here:

**1) Inherited immunity**.
When a woman gets a disease like measles or mumps naturally, she develops a wide variety of immune factors that she passes to her child in the womb and through breast milk. So far over 100,000 have been identified and there are likely far more yet to find. These accumulate generation after generation.
When she gets the vaccine version of the disease she does not develop the wide range of immune factors and cannot pass them to her children.
This means the children are more susceptible to infection and it means that centuries of cultivated natural immunity are lost in vaccinated families.

**2) Long term benefits of viral diseases**.
There is growing evidence that childhood viral illnesses are important for the development of adult health. There are scientific studies showing how they reduce rates of some cancers and heart conditions.
There are also new cancer treatments using viruses. This raises the question:
If they can treat it could they have a role in preventing it?
And there are endless anecdotes from mothers who noted significant developmental leaps in their children following viral diseases.

There is far more we don’t know about how viruses work in the body than we do know. What other long-term benefits are we losing?

**3) Vaccine ingredients**.
The public dialogue has focused on mercury in vaccines. Much of it has been removed but the total dose may have risen as it is in many flu shots which are recommended yearly. It is also in some pertussis vaccines as well as a few others. There are other ingredients which must also be considered. Human fetal tissue, monkey kidneys, aluminum, formaldehyde, detergents that break down the blood brain barrier and other industrial chemicals and animal byproducts are in vaccines.
The well established toxicology of each of these is too extensive to cover
in this short article. People sometimes argue that the doses are small.
The doses of many pharmaceutical drugs are equally small but are still recognized to have significant effects on our biochemistry.
Furthermore, if we can observe the known effects of these chemicals and animal and human tissues in people who have been injected with them, we have to consider their causative role.

Others argue that we eat more of these chemicals than we inject.
This is true but we have a digestive system to protect us from the toxic material we eat. All food would be toxic if injected, yet we ingest it with impunity many times a day. When we inject something it does not go through the normal pathways to be broken down.

For example, 99.5% or more of the aluminum we eat passes through us in our stool. The tiny amount that does get absorbed is rapidly excreted through the kidneys. 75-100% can remain in us indefinitely when injected. It is for this reason that it is used in vaccines. It binds to the pathogens and keeps them in the body indefinitely. This keeps the antibody levels up. Aluminum is known to disrupt nearly all healthy biological functions.
Another example is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is rapidly broken down when we eat it. Like the human fetal tissue, monkey kidneys and other animal parts in vaccines, it can remain in its whole form when injected.
The types of cancer now common among children are the types most closely associated with formaldehyde.
This leads to the question, with all these toxins, are vaccines safe?
Before injecting these chemicals into your children, read up on their toxicology and consider the cost-benefit ratio between the natural form of the disease and the manufactured version.

**Question #3: Are vaccines safe?**
When vaccine manufacturers were on the cusp of bankruptcy due to an unsustainable number of lawsuits and the damages they had to pay out,
in 1986 congress passed a law absolving them of all legal liability from
the known negative effects of their products.
This law was further strengthened in 2011 when the Supreme Court found that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe and manufacturers are under no obligation to make them safer.
As part of the 1986 law the Department of Health and Human Services maintains the Vaccine.

**Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).**
This is a passive reporting program that is thought to capture a very low percentage of total adverse events. Nonetheless there are tens of thousands of reports filed every year. What are the real numbers? With a passive reporting system we’ll never know. Why are we not making a greater effort to count these cases and how can a doctor feel comfortable saying vaccines are safe if they are full of toxins and we are not studying the reactions people are having to them?

US COVID-19 Vaccine Progress Tracker | Vaccinations by State | USA Facts

HHS also runs the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program:
which has paid out to the families of vaccine injured children nearly four billion dollars in damages as of this writing.
As part of this court program they maintain the Vaccine Injury Tables. This is a list of injuries that are uncontested and recognized as clearly due to vaccines. In theory these injuries are immediately compensable. The list includes brain damage, paralysis, arthritis, death and more. Other injuries have to be more convincingly demonstrated in court.
This freedom from liability ushered in the era of growing vaccination recommendations and requirements. These new recommendations include yearly flu shots and the chicken pox and hepatitis B shots. The flu vaccine was invented in the 1940s. The chicken pox vaccine was invented in the 70s. The hepatitis B vaccine was invented for use by prostitutes and drug addicts who might be sharing needles. After legal liability was removed, hep B was recommended for all newborn babies on the day of their birth, flu shots were recommended yearly and the chicken pox shot was recommended as well.

There is now a plan being implemented by the Department of Health and Human Services to get all children and adults up to speed on all vaccines.
While I got three shots as a kid in the 70s, there are now dozens of shots required for children to enter kindergarten. Since the early 90s when we began ramping up this liability free experiment on the immune systems of our children with dozens of doses of known, well documented neurotoxins combined with cancer causing chemicals we have seen steadily rising rates of immune system diseases and neurological diseases as well as a growing pandemic of cancer among children.
While the government and media have focused the research and public dialogue on a handful of their own questionable epidemiological studies that failed to find a statistical link between one vaccine, the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), and one behavioral diagnosis, autism, the research is rolling in from around the world on the whole range of biological malfunctions and ailments caused by vaccines and their ingredients.
These include brain damage, epilepsy (one in 20 American kids), multiple sclerosis, genetic disruption, immune system diseases, asthma, allergies, diabetes, learning disabilities and developmental delays, food allergies and many more.

The C.D.C.’s response is to ignore all this data and focus on denying the link between the MMR vaccine and autism. The industry responds by developing new vaccines for the diseases caused by the old ones. There are now hundreds of “vaccines” in development that have nothing to do with infectious diseases. They are liability free and state governments mandate them. The media discusses the studies that “fail to find a link” between MMR and autism and ignores all the ones that do find a link between vaccines and all manner of ailments. When they pronounce that vaccines have been proven to be safe they are ignoring all this evidence and declaring the science settled without having read it. And the public cries out for them because they are afraid of polio, in all likelihood a misdiagnosis of industrial neurotoxicity. A better business model would be hard to come by.

**Question #4: What is the true cost benefit ratio of vaccines?**
Once we realize that vaccines are not responsible for reducing deaths
from infectious diseases we must evaluate them more closely. [5]

**Have they reduced incidence of infectious diseases?**
It appears that way until we think more deeply. Official statistics may show declines in rates of infectious diseases but when we understand that everybody who receives the vaccine gets the manufactured version of the disease, we have to look more closely. We have replaced the natural infectious diseases which were already slowly fading away with the manufactured variety that every child now has injected into them multiple times before they begin kindergarten.

Through this process thousands of years of inherited, cultivated immunity
are lost. The long term developmental and health benefits of natural viral infections are lost. The brain may be damaged. The immune system may be further handicapped. We must therefore be more astute in our cost-benefit analysis.

**Conclusion:**
This article is not intended to sway a reader one way or another to accept or reject vaccines. It is intended to encourage the reader to study more deeply.

Vaccination is a complex issue. The historical data and published science are sufficient to keep one busy, let alone the social conversation and the broader implications of what one might learn. It can take the curious student a year or two of study to develop a basic understanding of the issue. Is there a way to speed up the process?

We recommend a series of three books that make up an introductory course.
Vaccination 101 if you will. All three of these books are well sourced.

The first book is *Vaccine Primer: An Inoculation*, by yours truly. It is a concise book that lays out the parameters of the discussion, asks the important questions and introduces us to the relevant information.
This book can be read in a couple hours.
The second book is, *Dissolving Illusions* by Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk. Dr. Humphries is a nephrologist and medical school professor who has dedicated the last few years to vaccine research.
Mr. Bystrianyk has been involved in recovering children from vaccine injury for decades. This book goes into greater historical and scientific detail. It cites over 800 sources, many of them peer reviewed science or seminal works of medical history.
Finally, read the book, *Vaccine Safety Manual* by Neil Miller. This book goes through each vaccine. Citing over 1,000 scientific studies it covers the disease, its natural history, the development of the vaccine and the associated follow up science.
Please: When somebody close to you shares their story of vaccine injury, listen. It is real. It is far more common than we are led to believe. And the U.S. govt. well documented history, and the science itself do in fact back up their story.

The Sixth Law of Stupidity

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Ken

Bob Marley – Don’t worry be Happy – YouTube Part 1 of 2 Post.

Centrism is a political outlook or position that involves acceptance and/or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy, while opposing political changes which would result in a significant shift of society strongly to either the left or the right.  **Centrists** are not in a current position of dominance, but might be in a short time. Not **supporting or pursuing a course of action that is** neither liberal nor conservative middle-of-the-road center – of or belonging to neither the right nor the left politically or intellectually  There are also centrist Dems and centrist Republicans which may lean more toward one side of the spectrum, but have centrist policies people agree with and the premise of centrism in their policies. Many different languages also contain words that mean centrist.  Definition of centrist.

1 : often capitalized : **a member of a center party.**
**2 : a person who holds moderate views.**

Possibly the main factor here is not ‘power’ but the overwhelming influence of the group (especially well organized subgroups) that push the whole group in one, sometimes dangerous direction. This group tends to influence others in its path ; people from the Nazi era in Germany talk about how they just wanted to go along with the friends and even the emotion of the larger group (eg at rallies, meetings etc.) The power of the group is often greater than the authority at the top (though authorities are important also). The main principles of social influence ( Cialdini   ) explain an awful lot here.
I’m not sure it is stupidity, unless Bonhoffer meant giving up your own thoughts for the group (happening now in major social movements, no one thinks and is aware of the real data on environmental issues, for example).

I owned and operated a liquor bar. Rule number one rule is “never” argue with a drunk. One might think of stupidity as being drunk on the rhetoric of another person, or group.
This is the closest thing to a useful insight I’ve seen in these comments. We can’t just toss stupid people. How do we get them to sober up? The obvious answer is to take away the internet (where people come to get drunk on stupid), but that isn’t possible — or is it?

Introverts tend to be more independent because they don’t seek group approval (or interaction), it doesn’t mean they cant come to the wrong conclusions to insulate themselves in ‘comforting’ ideas, but generally they already don’t rely on others thus leading to less chances of succumbing to the group-think happening… but for extroverts, then need group approval and recognition, leaving more chances to lessen themselves for the group… when really they should probably just laugh and raise those in their group up with them…

“Not knowing the truth doesn’t make you ignorant, not wanting to know the truth is what makes you ignorant.” (Unknown)

Sigh, if only…  It’s called the illusory truth effect, the tendency to believe information is true after repeated exposure from a source even if the information is false. The more exposure one is subjected to, the closer they get to never accepting the truth no matter how much proof is presented. The human mind can be full of education & knowledge, yet has very little maturity and wisdom. An immature foolish person can create many immature foolish people if the original has power and many support the foolish person. The more that follow and listen to the fool, the more society becomes foolish, less wise, and irrational laws become the norm and materialism is supported and honored above all.
The active denial and dismissal of any thoughts that challenge their current perception, is the most convincing evidence that stupidity is indeed a moral degradation. And that is how ignorance and stupidity differ as well. There should be a strong moral obstacle to actively deny information and willfully remain, or more precisely pretend to be willfully ignorant. In my opinion, stupidity also indicates cowardice because listening to and accepting challenging thoughts and then accepting that you were wrong requires a bit of courage to be self critical and emotional security to accept that humbling and evolve as a person.

Solitude liberates a man of stupidity and gives clarity when observing the insanity he once knew. “To Argue with a Person Who has Renounced Reason is Like Administering Medicine to the Dead.” ~Thomas Paine~

― The Sixth Law of Stupidity: A Biophysical Interpretation of Carlo Cipolla’s Stupidity Laws
1. “Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.” 2. “The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.” 3. “A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.” 4. “Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.” 5. “A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.”

6. “Humans are the stupidest species in the ecosystem.” ―
The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (Economic Historian Carlo Cipolla) “Cipolla’s quadrant highlights several fundamental features of those systems that can be described as both “complex” and “autocatalytic,” where the growth rate is proportional to the size of the stocks. These systems include living creatures, biomes, entire ecosystems, as well as human-created entities such as companies, organizations, and entire economic systems. The analysis of Cipolla’s quadrant, carried out using the Lotka-Volterra model shows the similarity of many phenomena driven by the dissipation of energy potentials: from life to commerce.
There are, indeed, some basic laws at work in these systems and when we use the term “law” for a physical system we mean that some factors are at work to keep it, if not perfectly regulated, at least within some boundaries. Cipolla’s quadrant tells us that these complex systems are all dominated by the same factors, but that these factors can operate in different ways. The simplest case is the predator/prey (bandit/victim) relationship, in which the predator seeks only maximum short-term profit.
The result is periodical oscillations, homeorhetic. It is also possible to see the condition of “stupidity” where the actions of the actors in the exchanges lead to doom for everyone and everything. In ecosystems it is extinction, in economic systems, it is financial ruin. The analysis also shows the possibility for these systems to adjust in such a way to attain the condition that Cipolla describes as “intelligent people” and that in ecosystems goes under the name of “symbiosis.” As proposed by Lynn Margulis, symbiotic systems that go under the name of “halobiont’s” are the basic unit of the ecosystem. We may extend this definition to all kinds of autocatalytic complex systems, including those forming the human economy. But if halobiont’s are an efficient unit of energy dissipation, why does stupidity exist? In particular, why is it so common in the economy as Cipolla correctly notes?

Cipolla’s description of stupid people is that “..some are stupid and others are not, and that the difference is determined by nature and not by cultural forces or factors. One is stupid in the same way one is red-haired; one belongs to the stupid set as one belongs to a blood group. A stupid man is born a stupid man by an act of Providence.” What Cipolla calls “an act of Providence” may be seen also as the result of the genetic setup of human beings. Indeed, humans are a relatively recent element of the ecosystem: modern humans are believed to have appeared only some 300,000 years ago, although other hominins practicing the same lifestyle may be as old as a few million years. Yet, this is a young age in comparison to that of most species currently existing in the ecosphere.
So, humankind’s stupidity may be not much more than an effect of the relative immaturity of our species, which still has to learn how to live in harmony with the ecosystem. That explains what we called here “the 6th law of stupidity,” stating that humans are the stupidest species on Earth. It is a condition that may lead the human species to extinction in a non-remote future. But it is also possible that, if humans survive, one day they will learn how to interact with the ecosystem of their planet without destroying it. Acknowledgment. One of us (U.B.) would like to remember the figure of Carlo Maria Cipolla (1922-2000), whom he had a chance to meet in Berkeley in the 1980s. Cipolla was a brilliant and creative mind, but also a kind and open personality. His work, not just about stupidity, is still having an important impact on the way we see the world.”

Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity – YouTube
The reality is there are stupid people on the left and right.
The argument really falls apart at 2:06 and onward.

This applies to all people regardless of political ideology. if you think it’s just the left or right that’s done this lately. I suggest you re-watch the video.
The left and right have been doing this since the beginning of politics regardless of who’s in power. Whoever is not in power just use their stupid followers to undermine the current powers stupid followers. If you can’t see that, then perhaps re-watch the video again until it sinks in. You completely miss his point. His point is that stupid people on both sides are purposely wound up and set loose by the powers that be to keep the middle class divided to maintain the status quo.

“Various factions pit us against each other as an obvious misdirect, so we don’t mess with the status quo.” It’s pretty obvious when you spit out the supposed evil deeds of your enemies while ignoring the evil deeds of your own side.

What magnifies beyond belief is the increasing stupidity combined with disengagement. Our government blatantly lies constantly yet people are lemmings. Various factions pit us against each other as an obvious misdirect, so we don’t mess with the status quo. Even people who are capable of seeing the truth don’t want to be bothered thinking about it or don’t want to risk their comfort and/or stay in denial. We’re now beyond the point of saying “If we don’t wake up…” We are in the poo and the only way out, unlikely as it is, is going to be messy as hell. Hopefully someday this period in history will be known as the Latter Day Dark Ages.
How would you define Bonhoeffer’s version of stupidity? Work together as a class to devise a definition. What qualities must someone possess, or lack, to be considered stupid as Bonhoeffer describes it. In what type of situation would someone display their stupidity? What can we do to avoid stupidity in today’s society? Discuss with your class and let us know in the comments below what they think.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer argued that stupid people are more dangerous than evil ones. This is because while we can protest against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are defenseless — reasons fall on death ears. Bonhoeffer’s famous text, which we slightly edited for this video, serves any free society as a warning of what can happen when certain people gain too much power. #stupidity

One time I asked my seventh grade teacher, “Do you know everything?”
The reason I asked him this question is because of his ability to teach proficiently and his impact on my life as a student. He chuckled and said to me, “I don’t know everything, only a fool knows everything.” That profound message has resonated within my heart ever since.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience, It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled” – Mark Twain

“I would never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man”.
Ignorance is just not knowing. I am quite ignorant about auto mechanics, but I could learn. Stupid is not caring that you don’t know, or pretending you DO know. As Ron White said, “You can’t educate stupid”,

I’m reminded of Ben Franklin’s observation.
“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”
I love this! I had never heard of it before. For years I have been saying that ignorance does not bother me however, belligerent ignorance is infuriating.

Pants on Fire | UnCommon Sense‘

Kids Listen: Young Ben Franklin It’s a great quote, but it’s probably not from Ben Franklin. Etymologist Barry Popik researched the quote in 2013 and found no evidence that Franklin said it. A 2019 PolitiFact article rated the attribution to Franklin “Pants on Fire.” Nah, statistically it’s nigh on impossible to go through life and not learn something , even accidentally. There’s a lot of effort that goes into remaining that dumb. I tell my kids something similar that it takes hard work and energy to be bad. to be good you can do nothing.
Unfortunately, stupidity is the greatest pandemic America has ever seen.

Democrats are the ones who are dumbing education down and making everyone “equal”. The current numpty in charge is allowing the destruction of the country even faster than his forebears. I suspect the division is so wide that this will probably be the final decade to complete the destruction that the globalists have been aiming for. Have fun with your attempt at being Confucius. If you mock those jumping off a cliff as stupid and leave out those stepping off… One would be safe to assume you’re not one to step aside. whether one “steps” or “jumps” off a cliff, one is still going over the cliff no? In fact, terminal velocity applies to both.

Biden compares himself to FDṚ He is barely audible and can barely make a coherent sentence. He was a plagiarist and a sociopath But the DNC preferred him to Sanderṣ.
The lefties are destroying the place – I know I am glad I don’t live in one of those “Cancel culture” “defund the police ” cities that’s for sure. “Should the Police be the people called in for a mental health issue, or a non-violent marital issue, or for a domestic non-violent dispute?” Yes, people call the police when those non violent things threaten to turn violent. Those things turn violent at the drop of a hat and the police are trained to subdue people without causing harm. If you don’t agree with them it is because you are somehow a white supremist even if you are not white – it is amazing the depths the Marxist democrats will go.

I’m not so sure that the Southern Democrats of the 1860s are an appropriate stand in for stupidity. Theirs was more a stand against centralized federal authority. Something we are suffering from at the present. Millions would probably have to die to reverse it, just like the Southern Democrats in the 1860’s had to be dealt with in an extremely harsh way the democrats of today will too. Since 1965 with the Hart-Cellar Act to this day with the floodgates of illegals, cancel culture, BLM, Antifa, defund the police, their 9/11 version with the never ending Covid. A geriatric president they had to build a special White house movie set for as they continue to cover up his medical condition, a cackling veep that has to hire child actors to faking accents. They use the race card for everything if you don’t agree with them, which is most things.

Sexually grooming kids and trying to confuse them about their genders in the schools, etc etc. They are pure evil and way past the possibility of compromise. You can negotiate about tax policy, health care etc. Most of the things they are engaging in are just wrong and evil and shouldn’t even be part of any decent person’s discussion. So you invent the standard of what counts I see. Unfortunately for you your own example does not bode well since several countries have been part of these so called wars you are referencing.  So then you vote for pure anarchy or only the rich and those who can afford private security? Or how about the media stops with the cherry picking narratives they want, namely race baiting. Do you know that when someone says 1 or 5 or even 543 that they are not saying that 5 is exactly equal to 1 or even 543?

However, one thing for sure is that they are all numbers.
I am not interested in linguistic games with these radicalized leftists who are destroying this country with their “cancel culture”, BLM, etc. Whether one wants to use Mao, Hitler, Communist, or Marxist. They all, as numbers are, like each other. These “numbers” are okay with dictators, they want the citizenry to completely rely on them, they go after things like freedom of speech and religion, etc. and promote things that are destructive especially to the family, they like to divide families, which they do with their perversions in the schools. They want the citizens’ guns, because they don’t want people fighting against them and the Panopticon they all like to set up.

Now are they exactly the same (because this is where the lefty’s think they are being so clever, of course not). They have way more in common than they do differences, however. Our country especially, certain types of people, are totally open about wanting to embrace these ideologies and the globalists are spending billions to destroy Western Civilization countries to implement it, it is pretty damn obvious really. Seriously scary times ahead, a lot of people will no doubt die as a result. When it comes to the Democrats. They’re all two sides of the same coin.

“Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.” Carlo Cipolla In the 1970s, an economic historian called Carlo Cipolla wrote a provocative article titled “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity”. This week’s episode is about his theory of the destructiveness of stupid behavior and why it is so underestimated and misunderstood. Show Notes: The Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity by Carlo M.

We have been in perpetual war somewhere and at all times, globalization demands it. Now verify that you are not stupid. You may want to broaden your definition of “war” since not all wars use guns. There is war on our children, there is war on free speech, etc. The panopticon that the globalists are building is using all kinds of “war” tactics to accomplish its goal of making us all slaves to their apparatus. Wars of mine or wars of yours? “It’s human nature, even in paradise people will complain that something’s bad and going worse.”
I suspect your word “going” was supposed to be the word “getting”?
You know how? You justify yourself by appealing to: well, the world will never be perfect . . . so . . . deal with it?

**The Empty Can Rattles the Most.**

So I take it you are a radical socialist democrat who thinks things are going great? And the current Numpty and his cackling assistant are just doing a fantastic job? You think “cancel Culture” is awesome? You consider yourself smarter than everyone else because you are “woke”? You are a big fan of groups like BLM and Antifa? You believe that the government should control all aspects of your life? If so, really, what does this say about you?

Tree Huggers and flat earthers are often lefties. Q appealed to a small extreme faction. Now Alex Jones i have always passed off as a loon but as time goes on he appears to be vindicated. You are just as far in your leftist echo chamber as extreme factions on the right. Don’t believe the media. Most Americans are centrists, it’s just the liberal party has been hijacked by the far left. The GOP did not vote in a man with dementia—the Dems did—-but then your comment just confirms how ignorant and easily duped the Dems are. Calling an entire nation stupid because of heighted political tensions (what I assume is what you’re referring to) is stupid in it of itself. Not calling you stupid by the way, the statement is.

All one has to do is look at the Rittenhouse case to prove it’s the Dems that are the willfully stupid. He was never part of a militia, even the grainiest of video’s shows the kid was defending himself from an attackers both times he killed someone, and none of the people he shot were black. Yet I get people whining all these things and adding how he crossed states lines with a gun (he actually didn’t), thus that means he should be charged with murder.
Even if the gun thing was true it would still not be murder but there is no arguing with stupid. Oh and then their was murder of 15,000 old people by Cuomo just so he could slash care home funding. The Right repeatedly said putting covid patients in care homes would KILL PEOPLE, but they were just called wrong and stupid partitions. Why? Because the holy Democrats said no one would die so it must be true, that’s why! And then when the truth finally came out . . . Nothing. Cuomo spent MONTHS in power after committing mass murder and the left PROTECTED HIM.

He was a member of the most holy party so he must be guarded. It was only after it came out he was the harasser (of mostly Dem women I noticed) that they kinda, sorta, gently pushed him out. Never will he face justice for being the most horrific murders in New York history, even greater than the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Just give me ANY equivalent where Trump or one of his supporters directly and willfully murdered 15,000 or more people just so he could make a quick buck. Oh, and I know he is a sleazy businessman and is accused of not paying some workers, among other things. Didn’t murder them though! Did you know Biden has a history of being a KKK sympathizer, or seen ANY of the videos of him sniffing little girls? Or even seen the video where he PROUDLY admits to blackmailing Ukraine the exact same way Trump was accused (and found innocent) of? I’m guessing not.

Described more than 1000 years later as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Learning what’s inside the box and then stepping outside of the box, then you will have opened eyes and ears to listen and really learn. “Smart people learn from everything and everyone, average people from their experiences, stupid people already have all the answers.” – Socrates

**Translated by whom? And from which of Socrates’ writings?**
Honestly, it sounds like someone re-writing a statement that Socrates said, trying to make it more American English than classic Greek, and dumbing it down on the way. Socrates did NOT talk/write like the quote everyone is liking so much. You’d only have to read some of his works to see this. Sounds to me like something offered by someone who vaguely recognizes the name “Socrates” as representing wisdom, and therefore since the quote sounds wise, they assume Socrates actually said it. Or wrote it. Here’s a hint for you: “The Socratic Method” — the teacher asks a student an open-ended question, with the question implying that the student should examine his own perspective (the student’s own) more closely, and find the flaws for himself.
This is the foundation of good law school classroom discussion, though not many law professors are good at it and many of them do it poorly, making students hate the teacher’s poor attempt and in the process, disliking “The Socratic Method” even if that’s now how Socrates would have done it. I’d submit that the Socratic Method is designed to reveal a student’s ignorant self-confidence (hubris). If we accept my submission as true, we can surmise that someone wrote a one-sentence summary of the Socratic Method, and attributed that one sentence summary to Socrates. But Socrates was a master of implication, not forthright obvious statements.
You’d do well for yourself if you stopped assuming a quote attributed somewhere means the quote is honest or true in its supposed reference. Oftentimes people make things up and attribute them to someone known for wisdom, and they often do this in an attempt to seem smarter than they actually are. That’s quite ironic if you think about what Bonhoeffer’s Tyranny of Stupidity is suggesting. It’s far better to honestly admit you don’t know the accuracy of a quote, than to assume the quote is perfectly true in its attribution.

Again, as in my response to Hunter Roberts, that summary of Alighieri’s thought is a one-sentence distillation of the entire scheme of the circles of hell described in The Inferno, and specifically the circle reserved for ignorant know-it-all types, the people who are full of hubris while offering themselves as wise men.
It’s precisely why history is being removed, mis /un informed. History (people, events, things) show us those follies we wish not to repeat. Things can be perfected, as well as made more dangerous. Take down monuments and put falsehoods and misinformation in its place so there’s no “clear” path from history. Then society is doomed to repeat it. Communist/socialist leaders did just that along with that which the Democratic (& few republicans) party has been doing with riots, economic control that makes them more dependent on government, and thereby, poorer and less productive; controlling commodities, schools, citizens, and mass media to direct the citizens ideology, etc. Leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and even Pol Pot were the examples

How do you presume to Dx my state of mind without even knowing me?
I’m not even mildly unsettled, let alone “triggered,” by anything you have said nor anything anyone else in this long comment thread has said.

**Perhaps you’re projecting your own emotions onto me?**
I was hoping to talk about the origins of that supposedly accurate Socrates quote, but you seem to want to talk about my state of mind. That’s quite curious.
I don’t like the use of “stupid” or “stupidity” in this context really…
Ignorance and stupidity are not synonymous. Ignorance represents a lack of information/knowledge — you can be ignorant of the rules for calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle because you don’t know the rule. This doesn’t mean that you are stupid — that implies something about the individual’s aptitude/ability (i.e., something internal – and possibly fixed – about that person).

If you teach the rule then the person is no longer ignorant — i.e., ignorance is diminished by evidence/learning. When the person denies the evidence — for example, they say that there is no evidence for human evolution, or no evidence for anthropocentric climate change, or no evidence that vaccines are safe — then they are being willfully ignorant. This is a motivated bias rather than a mere lack of information — it is the denial of evidence, the refusal of learning. That is when ignorance becomes dangerous. It is easy to say that people who deny evidence are “stupid” but that’s too easy and not at all helpful in combating that type of motivated bias.

For example, it is very easy to say that anti-vaxxers are “stupid” — and very appealing to think of them in this way — but that’s not really the case. I know some anti-vaxxers (I am definitely not one of them, to be clear), who are smart and caring people who have a very different threshold for what counts as evidence. They treat their feelings about the issue as totally valid – even more valid than what the science demonstrates. That they don’t “feel” right about vaccinations is enough to convince them that they should not vaccinate their children (or themselves in these Covid-19 times).
Within my own mental dichotomy, they are being “willfully ignorant” because they have seen/read the evidence and have ultimately denied it because their feelings tell them something else. They are not stupid, but they are frustrating as #%@&… and they cannot be swayed with evidence (which is the antithesis of everything that I hold dear as an empiricist). To call them merely “stupid” ignores the reason that underlie their motivations to remain unwavering in their views — and if you ignore the underlying mechanism, then you have no chance at all to make any chips in that armor (as unlikely as that seems to be with such deeply entrenched beliefs).

One problem I have with your examples of climate change and vaccine hesitancy and perhaps I am misunderstanding the entirety of your message, but I don’t think it’s so black and white. For instance, competing evidence about efficacy or safety of vaccines either in isolation or compared to our natural immune system. Some of us see one side of the argument as being propaganda for vaccination and actions against climate change. If we just blindly believe the proposed facts about anything, then we fall into the willful ignorance category the same as disregarding information.

As far as the climate change supposedly caused or accelerated by humanity, I’m choosing to be willfully ignorant and any opinion I have on the matter is based on feelings and not logic or facts. As a personal account, my aunt after getting her second dose had stroke-like symptoms. However, she isn’t a very healthy person and to be honest, far from it. So I have two options, believe it was an adverse reaction to the vaccine or the event was bound to happen at some point.
Given her poor lifestyle decisions, I’ll give the benefit of doubt to the vaccine and say it is probably her poor choices. My ex wife got both doses of the vaccine and as far as I know hasn’t had any observable adverse side effects. So you’d think my non-compliance with the vaccine mandate is unjustified, but after seeing multiple videos of peoples experiences as well as many videos of doctors saying they are seeing an uptick in certain medical cases after getting even the first vaccine dose makes me and others like me very hesitant.

The Laws 0f Stupidity

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Ken

“Knowing ignorance is strength, ignoring knowledge is sickness.” – Lao Tzu

**I will respond in two parts.**
First, you’ve perfectly demonstrated what I mean about there being different thresholds for acceptance of evidence. You’ve watched some videos of people claiming to have had adverse effects (or know of some other unnamed person who has had an adverse effect) — and you accept that as appropriate evidence. It isn’t. You are happy to distrust the epidemiologists, virologists, communicable disease experts, public health officials, doctors, as biased, but perfectly happy to totally trust some Randos on the internet. The “competing evidence” you suggest exists is not equivalent.

I would not even begin to suggest (to go back to the title of this video) that you are stupid — I have no information about where you might fall along a distribution of intelligence (however one might measure that nebulous concept)… BUT, you are falling prey to ignorance. I am going to infer (maybe correctly, maybe incorrectly) that you don’t have a background training in science or statistics — most people don’t, so that’s probably a reasonable inference — because your threshold for evidence is inadequately low.

Say you watch 20 videos of random people saying stuff about how the vaccine hurt them… that ignores the (literally) BILLIONS of people who have had the vaccine with absolutely no negative effects at all. There’s no reason for those people to make videos (and who would watch them anyway?!?). You are ignoring the base-rates of negative effects – because yes, there are some adverse effects that can happen – and you, like most people, are vastly over-estimating the likelihood of an incredibly small probability actually happening.

Now, it’s not my job to convince you to take the vaccine.
I take it you haven’t seen the video of the More Sickening COVID Vaccine Findings: Dr. Franc Zalewski Finds “Aluminium Lifeform” Tentacled **Parasite** in Pfizer Vaccine. A sample of the Pfizer vaccines, of an aluminum-carbon lifeform with a head and three legs in different colors. Polish doctor/scientist who reveals the graphene and the parasite in the VEX- (hydra vulgaris) which is why the anti-parasitic drugs work OR the fact that there are foreign protein cells used in culturing viruses or vexs.
What we are living in is the psychological effects/backlash of psychological warfare…there is no reasoning with evil…5g will work in tandem with whatever is in that jab to further spiritually cripple humanity. Wearing a mask is stupid. The person wearing it isn’t stupid. The idea they have been fed to believe and forced to follow-is. The truth is that we are afraid of the truth, we prefer to forget than to suffer. We are therefore afraid of suffering and are easy to handle.

“*We’ve built a way of life that depends on people doing what they are told because they don’t know how to tell themselves what to do.” -John Taylor Gatto*

You’re a grown-ass man. What I can tell you is that by avoiding what you think is some grand governmental/biomedical/Whatever conspiracy, you are actually being manipulated for political purposes. Secondly, at least you recognize and admit that your stance on climate change is an example of willful ignorance — because the scientific evidence is overwhelming and anyone who says that it is a hoax or a conspiracy, or whatever, is full of shit and trying to manipulate you in order (for the most part) to continue making billions of dollars from the very industries that are causing the problem in the first place. Or else it is someone trying to score political points in a moronic culture war.

” *No matter how smart you are , you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid ” -Anonymous*

The most important insight in this vid is that stupidity is essentially a moral failing more than an intellectual one. The failure is in believing things based on how they make us feel, rather than on their truthfulness. It puts “taste” above “nutritional value” and eventually we starve.

Bonhoeffer was an incredible student and searched beyond book smarts.
He travelled to America and toured extensively before the war. He went to India because of Ghandi and travelled to Rome to see Vatican City. He had an imaginative, searching intellect. He warned the Allies about what Hitler was going to do and how utterly dangerous he would get. Nobody wanted to hear him, they just labeled him as a looney and ignored his warnings. I believe he meant for his writing to evoke discussion and debate rather than be conclusive; because he maintained a true sense of humility. Seems familiar?

I highly recommend Eric Metaxes’ book about Bonhoeffer – Bing video
Bonhoeffer is right, unfortunately almost nobody learned anything from past events, most people are all too happy to shut off their brain and just trust in a Leader and treat the opposing minority and whoever calls out their behaviour as badly as they can. Those who resist are mostly loners and outcasts, i did tie this to past traumatic events which removed/tamed both the need for social interactions and the universal trust in “All are doing it, they can’t all be wrong” thinking. Take a look around and don’t sugarcoat anything , while they won’t hang or gas you they are all too happy to call your boss to make you jobless, have banks close down your accounts, use Orwellian “Doublethink”-Judgement, try to supress you voicing any disagreement (removal of publicly visible dislikes here on YT for example),and insult you by labeling you with nasty names that are more fitting to the way they themself behave. Logic and Facts can’t reach them as long as they get constant validation by being in the main-mass and both politicians and media are all too happy to deliver frequent updates about who to hate constantly. It’s a very cruel thing to say but I feel that Education will only help to solve this if it includes a very hurtful lesson intended to show each and every kid to never place this level of unfounded trust into any person or group, to constantly reflect and question both the actions of themselves and society.

Goes to show the old saying ” when we all think alike, we don’t think at all” is correct. Years ago, I met an engineer during the course of my travels. His wife gave him a framed statement that he kept in his office; it said: “Engineers are only slightly harder to communicate with than the dead.” This was a light-hearted way to express her frustration with the problem she had communicating with him.
Many of the engineers I’ve known exhibited a common trait that led them to think they knew more than those who were not engineers. This belief caused them to make many unnecessary and costly mistakes. They exhibited this trait straight out of college, so I assume it was taught as part of their curriculum.
I’ve always used the term “ideologically blind” to describe people who seemingly have high IQs, but believe and promote the most stupid and evil policies. To such people, their ideology is all important, and they cannot be convinced otherwise by any amount of facts or reason.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now”
**A similar saying is, ” A year from now, you will have wished you started today,”** and “It is impossible to make anything idiot-proof, intelligence is finite, but stupidity, the inverse of intelligence, is INFINITE!”

On some level, this applies to all of us, because there is inevitably at least one aspect of life or at least one opinion that we hold in which we consider ourselves more enlightened than others. “I am right about this and everyone else is wrong” is a thought or statement that none of us are immune from. The question then is not whether it applies to any one of us in particular, or doesn’t, it’s only the degree to which it applies. In parallel with that, it is a question of the degree to which we might have self-awareness to recognize it, step “outside” of ourselves, and understand why no matter how strongly we hold an opinion, we might be wrong about it.
Some, of course, can’t do that, and consider themselves to be always right, not only about things that are within their own areas of expertise or experience, which we could understand and concede, but about things that are clearly not. This isn’t helped by the internet and social media where the aim is so often to deal in quick, reactionary responses as opposed to reasoned discussion, where spending just a little longer to understand contrary beliefs and to analyze them properly is just too much hard work. There has to be a capacity to engage on that level, of course, but there also has to be a willingness, and that often doesn’t exist.

Worse still, it goes beyond “that’s my view and I’m sticking to it, no matter what”.
It gets to the point where the intentionally ignorant (by which I mean those that have no desire to deepen their understanding of anything beyond a superficial level – see “too much hard work” above) go to the extent of telling those that have spent years studying a subject that their acquired knowledge is wrong, because it’s what the [establishment][government][authorities][illuminati] (delete as applicable) want us to believe. Of course, proving a negative is often impossible so even attempting to debunk the latest conspiracy theory only serves to (a) waste one’s energy, and (b) feed into ignorant paranoia, so the cycle continues and we get nowhere. Charles Bukowski — ‘The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.’
This theory has some parallels with Dabrowski’s theory of Positive Disintegration. What Bonhoeffer describes as stupidity is, in Dabrowski’s language, a state of “primary integration” where all actions are justified by either self interest or social support, without critical internal examination or a sense that some actions are “higher” or “lower” than others according to a set of self-examined values. Dabrowski advocated “self-therapy” and learning, but I agree with the author of this video that the first step is likely removing the power structure that externally justifies the stupid behavior.

Ignorance is bliss, they say, and some people have unfortunately interpreted that very literally. 🙂

Everyone’s reality only goes out as far as they can see and everyone sees things from a different perspective. Like the old theory about who you really are. Every single person you have ever come across in life has a different vision of you and it’s probably not much like the one you have of yourself. When my kids were growing up I always told them to watch out for stupid and what makes this hard is sometimes it is you or your friends that are being stupid. It happens to all of us…Stupidity starts when you accept the timeshare in a community brain, and grows every time you exercise it. If you ever talked to a leftist, you know there’s a community brain “mindset” behind them.

“Whenever you find yourself in the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” —Mark Twain

“Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.” ~Thomas Jefferson 🙂

**Sadly, It applies to people on both sides of the political spectrum.**
This makes me think of someone (I can’t remember his name) that I was listening to. He stated “If you fail to build a program for your mind, your mind will be programmed for you.” This was very interesting. Not making a decision about something is making a decision. Not making that decision or not taking a particular side or having an opinion puts you in the position of having one assigned to you. “Only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity.” Having a free thinking mind instead of an instructed mind created by someone is the way of overcoming stupidity. An act of “liberation” masked as stupidity.

If people want stupid, then force it upon them on your terms.
I think it means the person has to have a life experience which removes them from their automatic way of thinking and then they need to choose reason over the comfort and familiarity of stupidity. In other words, you cannot change their mind with words, something needs to happen that plants the seed of change within them. For example, in the movie Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood portrays a man who is racist until he has a life experience that removes him from his automatic thinking with empathy.

You don’t educate by words, you educate by VISIBLE practical facts and drastic situation changes. To create both tools, you will probably require things public morals will utterly disapprove of. You may eventually eliminate 40% fear in one person out of ten. The other 9 will just agree at the moment, but will whisper in your back how an utopic fool of a person you are. And that’s from someone that overcame most of its fears and have strong – doubtful yes – but strong opinions about how terrible of a bitch life is, you no make stupid mistakes for free. You know, no two people are the same, what matters to you may be irrelevant for me, and what matters to me may be irrelevant for him…
You can educate someone ONLY if that someone is in a position to listen and think, which is not automatic most of the time, for everyone. The revolution discussed here may be unclear. It’s not “get knives and guns and make noises”, nor “go to the United Nation assembly and talk”, nor “educate people”. It’s “make the stupid people feel how stupid they are, for real”, to make them realize the way they are driving their life is mainly destruction of the others around them (even if those others are as stupid as them).

If you want clear examples : 1) There are anti vax people, and those people are the ones complaining the MOST about economics problems. Okay, let’s allow people to work hard to gain money, stop distanciation, **distanciation**. nf detachment. → l’élève doit abandonner le processus d’identification au maître, à sa classe et aux savoirs pour entrer dans un processus de **distanciation** par rapport à son rôle d’élève, par rapport aux enseignants et plus généralement à l’école. Translation from French.

We don’t vaccinate, we open all airspaces, and
**Rule #1** : whoever dies or becomes ill, NOONE has the right to complain.
**Rule #2** : those that think it’s a very bad idea, secretly setup your own crisis management with your own rules like criminals and be discreet. Then let’s see………..

Poor people in third world countries are maintained poor to make it easier to control them & maintain them in a state of stupidity, make them believe being kind at all costs is good, have faith in god (and wait for a miracle)… reality is, because there is no justice (you get robbed or raped, that’s bad luck), people are just silently and slowly killing each other in every ways and forms (ex: scamming),
While the rich and richest less stupid (but stupid enough to not understand you’ll get even richer is your people had better life standing than that) soak up every ounce of everything in the country. Expect the sporadic someone in the country smart enough to educate around and come up with good ideas of how to change the future ?

That person is the one his family and “friends” will hate first because he will bring problems, trying to look smart lecturing everyone with utopic fantasy ideas of total nonsense.
“The military will come for you and if you don’t shut your mouth, you’ll get in jail or killed ! Do you want us to have problems or be killed ?? It will be all your fault” they said..
Solution : kill what maintains poverty and stupidity in your country, OR, become those very figures that maintain povery and stupidity, but, instead of doing the same as your new pairs, push the thing to a point where it becomes so unbearable to the locals/populations, it will eventually end with them killing you and your pairs, the moment they realize how stupid they were for so long. That’s revolution, an actual one, when you stop killing people like you, but actually start to focus on the actual root of all problems. Though, the smart move doesn’t stop there, you must come up with a new system that prevent a resurgence of the initial situation, or at least displace it far enough (up in the economic and political spheres) to not impact populations the way it did (that’s the case of wealthy countries today).

Someone so stupid to not listen to your advices (though, make sure you are not the stupid one not listening to others and give them credit for whatever is relevant from them) : Stop trying to help that person, let him/her sink in his/her problems. Take care of yourself (or someone listening to you, learning from you) and make huge progress in life (also means don’t lecture others if you don’t comply with your own advice). Someday, if you do it right, the stupid person will secretly envy you, yet, still hate you at the bottom of his/her heart. Let that person come you you, and then, tell him/her : “I told you, but you wouldn’t listen, now it’s too late, start to think hard, hard enough, and find the actual solutions in you life, beginning from the very simple : you are the problem, you are the one and only architect of your own demise”.

**The revolution being two things :**
– you are no longer of any help for him/her, a revolution upon you, making you strong enough to REFUSE to help and dare to lecture with strong, yet, well chosen words. – your life (or the one you helped) has changed, when we consider perception, upon the stupid person, the visible change in life standards or progresses is a visible revolution. If you fail to do both, the match that may enlight the stupid person’s state of mind never lights. In short : You don’t educate by words, you educate by VISIBLE practical facts and drastic situation changes. To create both tools, you will probably require things public morals will utterly disapprove of. That’s what a revolution is, in essence. “10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80% can be moved in either direction.” ― Susan Sontag

This is something I believed all my adult life. Throughout human history, a small percent of the population is predisposed to do the wrong things in life.
If you carefully tally, you will find that about 1 in 4. 25% of humanity falls into Hillary’s “deplorable” category: Anarchists, Criminals, Cruel, Insane, Sociopath, Psychopath, Destructive, Racist, Misogynist, destructive Drug user, Thief, Abusive, Molester, Sexual Deviant, and the huge numbers that ACT AGAINST THEIR SELF INTERESTS.
Let’s take a moment to remember the man who did all this thinking for us: Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Killed in a concentration camp for participating in an attempt to kill Hitler.
That’s what the history books tell us, can we really be so sure. We know history is written by the winners. maybe he had a part in trying to overthrow Hitler and the Nazi’s lied about his role like everything else they lied about. We will never know the truth but I would be slow to condemn a man we have so little facts about from sources we can trust.

This reminded me of the movie “Idiocracy” – Bing video
Mike Judge never thought Idiocracy would ultimately turn out to be a documentary and is almost certainly perplexed at how quickly it devolved in the US. It’s a movie that circles around the idea that evolution awards those who reproduce the most, and that of course, in the movie, is dumb people, while smart people just die off. So this guy is tasked by the government to get into a pod for a year, but things went wrong and he was in there for 500, he wakes up in 2505, the smartest man alive. ” The enemy of intelligence is not ignorance but the illusion of intelligence ” – Stephen Hawking

**Conformity kills, says evolution.**
Google algorithms: quod erat demonstrandum. Donald Trump is a demagogue who appeals to the lowest common denominator. — Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking said it. The exact quote is “[Trump is] a demagogue who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.” He said it on an interview on Good Morning Britain, screened on 31 May 2016. You are free to look it up yourself. I realize however that if reality says that Trump is bad, reality is wrong rather than Trump, so of course this didn’t actually happen. Sadly, a genius like Stephen Hawking fell prey to stupidity as well – because of his pride. Remember, the notion of stupidity mentioned by Bonhoeffer isn’t about IQ but wisdom. The counterpart of genius is stupidity. Ever heard of Dunning Kruger, genius? Simple. Wow speaking of moving goalposts… you guys always try to confuse yourselves?

Little wonder why it’s such a mess here!

**The old saying: Intelligent people know that a tomato is a fruit.**
Recognizing that events have indeed occurred is an interesting definition of “stupidity”. The slightly heartbreaking irony is that, commenting on this of all videos as you are, this is a prime example of what the video is talking about. Hawking said this. This is a matter of public record. It’s really not up for debate. But because you’re clearly into Trumpism you’re willing to deny the basic easily-verifiable nature of reality because it conflicts with your ideology, namely that Trump is this wonderful genius and thus Stephen Hawking must think he’s great.

I am from the Netherlands. You guys seem somewhat self-obsessed. However, the world is much bigger than the US. Something you clearly don’t understand. Oh well…. empires come, empires go. Have a nice day 😀  @Wolfgang de Vries

So what’s so special about being from the Netherlands? Do you think where you come from makes you superior, or less stupid perhaps?

We have 27 running for the elections, though. There are 16 parties in the Dutch parliament right now. 150 seats, PVV has 17 seats, liberal VVD 34. D66 (democrats) 24. Btw we don’t have a regular admin atm. Anyway, the PVV comes from 20, Baudet 4 is new. That said, there are other right wing parties with a less extreme agenda which are getting more seats than Baudet atm. But still in the margin. We don’t have a real Bible belt in the Netherlands. Wiki: “In 2015, 82% of the Netherlands’ population said they never or almost never visited a church, and 59% stated that they had never been to a church of any kind.” I Did not know there were that many parties in the Dutch parliament. Wow. With two parties in the U.S., it’s nearly impossible to get anything done. Too much factional infighting within the parties. Biden, for example, can’t get his ‘build back better’ plan through Congress because two Senators in his own party won’t cooperate. It’s like trying to herd cats. In addition to the Bible Belt, with its millionaire televangelists selling tickets to heaven for $20 a pop, all tax free of course, there are Americans who believe that lizard people control the government and that liberals (left of center voters) eat babies on pizza. It’s a mad, mad world.

Basically, the Congress is powerless in the Netherlands, the House of R rules the country. So the current admin always has their hands free. So usually they need 3- 4 parties for an admin. A lot of negotiations before a new admin gets installed.
It’s kind of clear to me: all Trump lovers and Trump haters think they are geniuses. Americans seem somewhat self-obsessed. However, the world is much bigger than the US. Something you clearly don’t understand. Oh well…. empires come, empires go.
Have a nice day 😀

“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance – it is the illusion of knowledge.” ~ Daniel J. Boorstin You only seem intelligent until you are proven wrong, Fact: communism has failed in every country that has ever implemented it. Communist, but I was never the dictator, therefore that wasn’t real communism. The reality is that any bureaucratic system (be it in the private or public sector) that reduces accountability and individualized responsibility, will eventually produce inefficient outcomes and often vindictive systems of repression. And the more inefficient systems become, the more likely and appealing the message of a charismatic tyrant who says, give me the power and I’ll fix it. And all the more easy to swallow if the message blames someone other than you, often manifesting itself towards a particular demographic (such as Jews, or business owners, or land holders). All the better the more vague the group scapegoat, you can hold up one or two individuals as icons of the group whose actions may have been reprehensible yet then blame the whole group (literally a logical fallacy called the fallacy of composition). **Critical race theory is a shining example of this at play in the US today.** Every occurrence of genocide has resulted from this form of thinking. Nuance matters. No individual is ever meaningfully represented by a grouping of any particular subset attribute. The atrocities committed by the Nazis were made possible by mere neglect of nuance mixed with blame. Do not think such things aren’t possible today. Human nature hasn’t changed. The irony of this predicament is that both sides believe they are the “intellectual smarter” and both sides think they are dealing with stupid.

These images are literally open minded people. It reminds me of the phrase:
“don’t be too open minded, or your brain will fall out”.

There are two sayings. “If you keep an open mind people will throw garbage in it.” And “Some people’s minds are like concrete. Thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.” Try to be somewhere in between. Tim Minchin – Bing video

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” Aristotle – Philosopher (384 – 322 BC)

Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth – Albert Einstein

This video omits the most important part of the quote at the end. The part which explains what the required ‘internal liberation’ is “This state of affairs explains why in such circumstances our attempts to know what ‘the people’ really think are in vain and why, under these circumstances, this question is so irrelevant for the person who is thinking and acting responsibly. The word of the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom declares that the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity. ‘But these thoughts about stupidity also offer consolation in that they utterly forbid us to consider the majority of people to be stupid in every circumstance. It really will depend on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.’” The wisest persons in the world are those who know that: ‘What they didn’t know is more than what they know.’ “Arguing with a genius is hard, arguing with an idiot is impossible”

Arguing with a Genius who is also an Idiot is even worse. ~ Einstein (I think)
Einstein could perhaps be one of History’s greatly overestimated smooth brains. Nothing people attribute to Einstein in the world of physics was actually his own thought/work. Most of what Einstein is credited for/with, was actually deduced and offered by people who preceded him. It’s quite a bit of fabrication to have public schools teaching students that Einstein was a genius, when he was a middle-brow charlatan who stole others’ work and presented it as his own. Not too different from how we learn in public schools that Edison was the father of electricity-mastering — even though Nicola Tesla discovered and used electrical theories in practice to a much wider and deeper extent than Edison ever did. Who learned about Tesla in public schools, though? Hardly anyone I know! Tesla learned more about applied electrical energy than Edison ever could have dreamed, yet Edison is who everyone thinks was the electricity genius. It’s sad how many people don’t think too deep on much of anything. I’ve had in mind for several years, writing a book called “The Tragic History of Stupidity” or “Stupidity is a Powerful Force in World History”. What we have lived through these last 5 years here in America, and most specifically , since March of 2020 just drives home how right Bonhoffer was and is.

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are stupider than that.” -George Carlin

Carlin was a comic genius, but I have no clue how stupid the average person is, because I’ve never met any “average” people. Average at what? And in what context? I’m uncomfortable enough judging the intelligence or stupidity of real people I actually know, let alone these faceless, objectified “average” people I have never known.

While funny, this is about IQ (pattern recognition) and not morality. Median IQ is always measured at 100, so a little bit less than 50% of the tested population have below 100 IQ, a little bit less than 50% of the test population have above 100 IQ, and the rest have exactly 100 IQ. You have been ripped off by people with the *power* and *opportunity* to rip you off. Sometimes, that power comes from intelligence. Other times, it comes from your ignorance (which has nothing to do with intelligence, no one can know everything). But more often than not, the power comes from… simply *power.* Your boss is not necessarily smarter than you, but he has the *power* to rip you off.

This so perfectly describes the world today that it’s frightening. I can’t imagine anything scarier than a few malicious people leading an army of stupid people who will do anything because they were told to. I’ve always used the terms intelligence versus cleverness, my dog is highly intelligent but not very clever. Humans as a whole are fiendishly clever but not very intelligent. “A fool who knows he is a fool can at least be said to have some wisdom, but a fool who thinks he is wise is a fool indeed.” – The Buddha Reflections on the development of critical thinking in school seem to me more and more urgent in the hyper-connected world. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💯 A quick way to tell those who are really stupid: They get really angry and seek to destroy anyone who points out their stupidity. While a non-stupid will just understand they are misunderstood and seek to explain their positions, even if they are called names like “stupid”. Due to society’s progression into a late-stage capitalist dystopia globally connected via the internet, we are now trapped in the largest possible communal prison of stupidity. Great.

Same subject matter.

“The Banality of Evil” is a 1963 book by political thinker Hannah Arendt.

I feel like I’m living in Germany in the mid 1930’s.

A very interesting perspective on the nature of “stupidity”.
Essentially, in this definition, “stupidity” is the willingness to behave based on appealing but overly-simplified ideas. Essentially, in this definition, it is not “can’t know more” but rather “don’t want to know more” – a desire rather than an ability. This is an important shift in perspective of the word. We may agree, or not, but it is intellectually interesting as a framework. This perfectly explains American support for the Democratic Party. Pot. Kettle. /Whoosh!

Social media makes it so incredibly easy to find people who believe the same thing as you do, while also having an easy Block button when you encounter people who challenge those beliefs. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” “Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.” – Proverbs 23:9

Fools who are inspired by the wise are better than fools inspired by other fools,
if that makes sense.

This is how groups become “useful idiots” or “tools” of the politically powerful.
Morality and other philosophies are built on “first principles”. The law, for example, is administered to protect liberty and property, not to carry out justice. Justice is something administered when liberty or property is violated. Under our current regime, justice is a tool for administering equity, which is based on the history of oppressed peoples. These concepts are not based on “first principles” but sound good to a stupid person, and thus they are manipulated into actions that violate “first principles”. During the recent events taking place in society, I have been delving deeper into psychology trying to figure why the so-called smart people I work with embrace socialism. The phrase socialism wasn’t done properly came up and I replied yes it was. Even in Gulags prisoners so indoctrinated in socialism still embraced communism (just one degree away from socialism) has been explained here.
Few people are interested in discovering the truth once they become emotionally invested in a lie. “All the Cretans are liars” once famously said a Cretan. But since he was a Cretan, he was lying ,that meant that Cretans were not liars but since he was lying that meant that he was saying the truth or that all Cretans were liars….This is a very enlightening video, but I was sorry that this important part of Bonhoeffer’s original writing was omitted: “The word of the Bible that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom declares that the internal liberation of human beings to live the responsible life before God is the only genuine way to overcome stupidity.”

German New Medicine® (GNM)

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Ken

I finally had to also ask myself whether our understanding and our concept of disease had not been entirely wrong because of our ignorance of the biological purpose of disease. **-Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D.**

German New Medicine® (GNM)
By Caroline Markolin, Ph.D.

German New Medicine 101: Introduction to the Five Biological Laws.
On August 18, 1978, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D., at the time head internist in the oncology clinic at the University of Munich, Germany, received the shocking news that his son Dirk had been shot. Dirk died in December 1978. A few months later, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Since he had never been seriously ill, he immediately surmised that his cancer development might be directly related to the tragic loss of his son.
Dirk’s death and his own experience with cancer prompted Dr. Hamer to investigate the personal history of his cancer patients. He quickly learned that, like him, they all had gone through some exceptionally stressful episode prior to developing cancer. The observation of a mind-body connection was not really surprising. Numerous studies had already shown that cancer and other diseases are often preceded by a traumatic event.
But Dr. Hamer took his research a momentous step further. Pursuing the hypothesis that all bodily events are controlled from the brain, he analyzed his patients’ brain scans and compared them with their medical records. Dr. Hamer discovered that EVERY DISEASE—not only cancer!—is controlled from its own specific area in the brain and linked to a very particular, identifiable, “conflict shock”. The result of his research is a scientific chart that illustrates the biological relationship between the psyche and the brain in correlation with the organs and tissues of the entire human body.

**An Introduction to THE FIVE BIOLOGICAL LAWS.**
Dr. Hamer came to call his findings “**The Five Biological Laws of the New Medicine**”, because these biological laws, which are applicable to any patient’s case, offer an entirely new understanding of the cause, the development, and the natural healing process of diseases. In 1981, Dr. Hamer presented his findings to the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen as a post-doctoral thesis. But to this day, the University has refused to test Dr. Hamer’s research in spite of its legal obligation to do so. This is an unprecedented case in the history of universities. Similarly, official medicine refuses to approve his discoveries despite some 30 scientific verifications both by independent physicians and by professional associations.
Shortly after Dr. Hamer submitted his thesis, he was given the ultimatum to renounce his discoveries or have his contract renewal at the University clinic denied. In 1986, even though his scientific work had never been impeached, much less disproved, Dr. Hamer was stripped of his medical license on the grounds that he refused to conform to the principles of standard medicine. Yet he was determined to continue his work. By 1987 he was able to extend his discoveries to practically every disease known to medicine.
Dr. Hamer has been persecuted and harassed for over 25 years, in particular by the German and French authorities… Since 1997, Dr. Hamer has been living in exile where he carries on with his research and where he continues to fight for official recognition of his “New Medicine”.

**THE ORIGIN OF DISEASE IN THE BRAIN**.
Dr. Hamer established that “every disease is caused by a conflict shock that catches an individual completely off guard” (**First Biological Law**). In honor of his son, Dr. Hamer called this unanticipated stressful event a Dirk Hamer Syndrome or DHS. Psychologically speaking, a DHS is a very personal incident conditioned by our past experiences, our vulnerabilities, our individual perceptions, our values and beliefs. Yet, a DHS is not merely psychological but rather a biological conflict. Animals experience these biological shocks in concrete terms, for example, through a sudden loss of the nest or territory, a loss of an offspring, a separation from a mate or from the pack, an unexpected threat of starvation, or a death-fright.

Since over time the human mind acquired a figurative way of thinking, we can experience these biological conflicts also in a transposed sense. A male, for instance, can suffer a “territorial loss conflict” when he unexpectedly loses his home or his workplace; a female “nest conflict” may be a concern over the well-being of a “nest member”; an “abandonment conflict” can be triggered by an unforeseen divorce or by being rushed to the hospital; children often suffer a “separation conflict” when Mom decides to go back to work or when the parents split up.
By analyzing thousands of brain computer tomograms (CT) in relation to his patient’s histories, Dr. Hamer discovered that the moment a DHS occurs, the shock impacts a specific, predetermined area in the brain, causing a “lesion” that is visible on a CT scan as a set of sharp concentric rings.

Your body is intelligent! (EP2-HYSC-English) German New Medicine.

(In 1989, Siemens, the German CT scanner manufacturer, certified that these ring formations are not artifacts of the equipment). Upon impact, the affected brain cells communicate the shock to the corresponding organ, which in turn responds with a particular—predictable!—alteration. The reason why specific conflicts are indissolubly tied to specific brain areas is that each part of the brain is programmed to respond instantly to conflicts that could threaten our survival. While the “old brain” (brain stem and cerebellum) is programmed with basic survival issues that relate to breathing, eating, or reproduction, the “new brain” (cerebrum) is encoded with more advanced themes such as territorial conflicts, separation conflicts, identity conflicts, and self-devaluation conflicts.
Dr. Hamer’s medical research is firmly tied to the science of embryology, because whether the organ responds to a conflict by a tumor growth, by tissue meltdown, or by functional impairment is determined by the embryonic germ layer from which both the organ and corresponding brain tissue originate.

(**Third Biological Law**).
GNM’s “Ontogenetic System of Tumors” illustrates that “old-brain”-controlled organs, which derive from the endoderm or the “old-brain”-mesoderm, like the lungs, liver, colon, prostate, uterus, corium skin, pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, breast glands, etc., always generate cell proliferation as soon as the corresponding conflict occurs. Tumors of these organs therefore develop exclusively during the conflict-active phase (initiated by the DHS).
Let’s take lung cancer, for example: The biological conflict linked to lung cancer is a “death-fright conflict”, because in biological terms the death panic is equated with being unable to breathe. With the shock of the death-fright the lung alveoli cells, which regulate breathing, instantly start to multiply, forming a lung tumor. Contrary to the conventional view, this multiplication of lung cells is not a pointless process but serves a very definite biological purpose, namely, to increase the capacity of the lungs and thereby optimize the organism’s chance of survival. Dr. Hamer’s brain scan analyses demonstrate that every person with lung cancer shows a distinct target ring configuration in the corresponding area in the brain stem, and that each patient had suffered an unexpected death panic prior to the onset of cancer. In the majority of cases the death scare was triggered by a cancer diagnosis shock that the person experienced as a “death sentence”. Given that smoking is on the decrease, this sheds new light on the enigmatic increase of lung cancer (“The #1 Killer”) and calls into question whether smoking is per se an actual cause of lung cancer.

The Psycho-Emotional Roots of Cancer (acupuncturetoday.com)
Glandular breast cancer, according to Dr. Hamer’s findings, is the result of either a “mother-child” or a “partner worry” conflict. These types of conflict always impact the “old brain” in the area that controls the milk-producing glands. A female can suffer a mother-child worry conflict when her offspring is suddenly injured or seriously ill. During the conflict-active stress phase, the breast gland cells continually multiply, forming a tumor. The biological purpose of the cell proliferation is to be able to provide more milk for the suffering offspring and thus speed up healing.
Every female human and mammal is born with this age-old biological response program. Dr. Hamer’s many case studies show that women, even when not breast feeding, developed a tumor in the breast glands from obsessively worrying about the well-being of a loved one (a child who is in trouble, a parent who is ill, or a dear friend who is a cause for concern).
What has been said about lung cancer and breast cancer equally applies to all other cancers that originate in the “old brain”. Each is triggered by a specific conflict shock that activates a “Meaningful Special Biological Program.”

(**Fifth Biological Law**) which allows the organism to override everyday functioning and deal physically with the emergency situation. For each type of conflict there is a brain relay from where the particular biological program is coordinated. While “old-brain”-controlled organs generate a tumor growth during the conflict-active phase, the opposite is the case with all organs that are controlled from the cerebrum (“new brain”).
Concerning the embryonic germ layer, all cerebrum-directed organs and tissues (ovaries, testicles, bones, lymph nodes, epidermis, lining of the cervix, bronchial tubes, coronary vessels, milk ducts, etc.) originate from the ectoderm or the “new-brain”-mesoderm. The moment the conflict occurs, the biologically corresponding organ tissue responds with cell degeneration. Necrosis of the ovaries or testicles, osteoporosis, bone cancer, or stomach ulcers, for example, are conditions that only occur while a person is in a state of emotional distress in regards to the related conflict. As is to be expected, tissue loss has a biological significance.
Let’s take, for example, the tissue of the milk duct lining. Since the squamous epithelial lining of the milk ducts developed at a much later time than the milk-producing glands, this younger tissue is controlled from a younger part of the brain, namely, the cerebral cortex. The biological conflict of the milk duct lining is a “separation conflict” experienced as if “my child [or my partner] was torn from my breast”. A female mammal can suffer such a conflict when her offspring is lost or killed. As a natural reflex to the conflict the tissue of the milk duct lining starts to ulcerate.

The purpose of the tissue loss is to increase the diameter of the ducts, because with enlarged ducts the milk that is no longer used can drain off easier and doesn’t get congested in the breast. Every woman’s brain is programmed with this biological response. Since the female breast is, biologically speaking, synonymous with caring and nurturing, women suffer such a conflict by unexpected separation from a loved one they intensely care for. There are virtually no physical symptoms during the conflict-active phase, except occasional light “pulling” in the breast.

**THE TWO-PHASE-PATTERN OF EVERY DISEASE.**
Dr. Hamer also discovered that, provided there is a resolution of the conflict, every disease proceeds in two phases, (**Second Biological Law**). During the first, or conflict-active phase, the entire organism is geared to dealing with the conflict. While a meaningful cell alteration runs its course on the physical level, the psyche and the vegetative autonomous system also try to handle the unexpected situation. Switched into a stress state (sympathicotonia), the mind becomes completely preoccupied with the conflict contents. Sleep disturbances and lack of appetite are typical symptoms.
Biologically speaking, this is vital, because the focus on the conflict and the extra waking hours provide the right conditions for working through the conflict and finding a resolution. The conflict-active phase is also called the “cold phase”. Since the blood vessels are constricted during stress, typical symptoms of conflict activity are cold extremities (particularly cold hands), the shivers, and cold sweats.
The intensity of the symptoms is naturally dependent on the magnitude of the conflict. If a person remains in an intense conflict-active state over a long period of time, the condition can be fatal. But Dr. Hamer proves beyond reasonable doubt that an organism can never die of cancer, in and of itself.

A person can die as a result of mechanical complications of a tumor that, for example, occludes a vital organ such as the colon or the bile ducts, but in no way can cancer cells, as such, cause death. In German New Medicine the distinction between “malignant” and “benign” cancers is entirely meaningless. The term “malignant” is an artificial construct (the same applies to tumor markers) that simply indicates that the activity of cell reproduction has exceeded a certain arbitrary limit.
If a person dies during the conflict-active phase, it is usually because of energy loss, weight loss, sleep deprivation, and emotional and mental exhaustion. Often, it is a devastating cancer diagnosis or a negative prognosis—“You have six months to live!”—that throws cancer patients (including their loved ones) into a state of despair. With little or no hope, and deprived of their life-force, they waste away and eventually die of cachexia, an agonizing process that conventional cancer treatment will only accelerate. If the patient has not undergone any conventional treatment (especially chemotherapy or radiotherapy), GNM has a success rate of 95 to 98 percent. Ironically these statistics for Dr. Hamer’s remarkable success rate were delivered by the authorities themselves.

When Dr. Hamer was arrested in 1997 for having given three people medical advice without a medical license, the police confiscated his patients’ files and had them analyzed. Subsequently, one public prosecutor was forced to admit during the trial that, after five years, 6,000 out of 6,500 patients with mostly “terminal” cancer were still alive. With conventional treatment the figures are generally just the reverse. According to epidemiologist and biostatistician Dr. Ulrich Abel (Germany), “Success of most chemotherapies is appalling…There is no scientific evidence for its ability to extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancer… Chemotherapy for malignancies too advanced for surgery, which accounts for 80% of all cancers, is a scientific wasteland.”(Lancet 1991).

**THE BODY HEALS ITSELF.**
The resolution of the conflict signals the beginning of the second phase of the biological program. Our emotions and our organism switch immediately into a healing mode assisted by the vegetative system’s switch into “vagotonia”. During the healing phase the appetite returns, but we are very tired (we might not even be able to get out of bed). Rest and supplying the organism with nutrients are essential while the body is trying to heal. The second phase is also called the “warm phase”, as during vagotonia the blood vessels are enlarged, causing warm hands, warm feet, and warm skin.
With the resolution of the conflict there is also an instant change at the organ level. Cell proliferation (“old-brain”- controlled tumor growth) or cell meltdown (“new-brain”-controlled tissue loss) immediately comes to a halt, and the appropriate repair process is set in motion. An area that necrotized or ulcerated during the conflict-active phase is now being refilled and replenished with new cells. This is usually accompanied with potentially painful swelling, caused by an edema that protects the tissue while it is healing. Other typical repair symptoms are hypersensitivity, itching, spasm (if muscle tissue is involved), and inflammation.

Examples of “diseases” that only occur in the healing phase are: certain skin disorders, hemorrhoids, laryngitis, bronchitis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, bladder or kidney disorders, certain liver diseases, and infections (see below). Based on the observation of cell multiplication (mitosis) and the standard distinction between “benign” and “malignant” tumors, conventional medicine interprets the natural cell production of healing tissues as a “malignancy”. In GNM we likewise distinguish two types of tumors. But the tumors are not divided into “good” and “bad” ones; rather they are classified according to their tissue type and the part of the brain from which they originate and are controlled. There are those tumors which develop exclusively during the conflict-active phase (lung tumor, colon tumor, liver tumor, uterus tumor, prostate tumor, etc.) and, conversely, those that result from the natural repair process.
As with “old-brain”-controlled cancers, the tumor growth is neither accidental nor meaningless since the cell proliferation stops as soon as the tissue is mended. Testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, various types of sarcoma, bronchial and laryngeal carcinoma, and cervical cancer are all of a curative nature and are exclusively phenomena of the healing phase. **Provided that the healing process is not interrupted through medication or a conflict relapse, these tumors eventually degrade during the completion of the healing phase.** The second type of breast cancer, the “ductal carcinoma in situ” (DCIS), also falls into this category. While a glandular breast cancer is an indication that a woman is in the active phase of a worry conflict, an intra-ductal cancer is a positive sign that the related separation conflict (“torn from my breast”) has been resolved. A woman doesn’t develop breast cancer without a reason! Neither does she develop breast cancer by coincidence in precisely her right or left breast.

**THE BENEFICIAL ROLE OF MICROBES.**
Another aspect of Dr. Hamer’s research has been the role of microbes during disease development. This, in brief, is what he found **(Fourth Biological Law):** Microbes such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses are only active during the healing phase, and the manner in which they operate is fully in accordance with evolutionary logic. Tubercular bacteria, for example, populate only “old-brain”-controlled tissues. Their function during the repair phase is to decompose tumors that are now superfluous, e.g., lung tumors, colon tumors, kidney tumors, prostate tumors, uterus tumors, breast gland tumors, melanomas, and mesothelioma.
Tubercular bacteria are essential for breaking down the buildup of “disposable cells” that proliferated for a biological reason during the conflict-active phase. If the required bacteria are not available, due to vaccination, overuse of antibiotics, or chemotherapy treatment, the tumor cannot disintegrate properly. As a result, it stays in place and encapsulates harmlessly. Detected in a routine check-up, however, such an encapsulated growth can lead to a “cancer” diagnosis and, potentially, new conflict shocks with new symptoms. By understanding the biological laws of disease development this prospect can be virtually eliminated.

While bacteria break down tumor cells that are no longer needed, viruses appear to be involved in the healing process of—exclusively—cerebral-cortex-controlled tissues (e.g., bronchia, nasal membrane, stomach lining, lining of the bile ducts, and epidermis). Hepatitis, pneumonia, herpes, influenza, and stomach flu, are indications that a “virulent” but natural healing process is running its course… The dilemma in which conventional medicine finds itself is that by failing to recognize the two-phase pattern of every disease, the first, conflict-active phase, routinely gets overlooked. Since microbes are only active during the healing phase, and since the activity of microbes is typically accompanied by swelling, fever, pus, discharge, and pain, microbes are considered malevolent and the cause of infectious diseases. But microbes do not cause the disease. After all, it is our organism that employs the microbes to optimize the healing process. Microbes can, of course, be transmitted, but they remain dormant until the person is in the healing phase of the same type of conflict.

**QUESTIONING METASTASIS**
Based on GNM’s “Ontogenetic System of Tumors”, the widely propagated theory of metastasis that suggests that cancer cells travel through the blood or lymph vessels and cause cancers at new sites is, in Dr. Hamer’s words, “pure academic fiction”. Cells in general and cancer cells in particular can under no circumstances change their histological structure or cross the germ layer threshold. For example, a lung tumor cell, which is of endodermal origin, controlled from the brain stem (“old brain”), and which proliferates during the conflict-active phase cannot transform itself into a bone cell, which is of mesodermal origin, controlled from the cerebrum (“new brain”), and which deteriorates during a conflict-active decalcification process. In the scenario “lung cancer metastasizes into the bones”, the lung cancer cells would actually be creating a hole (i.e., cell meltdown!—the reverse of a cancer) in some bone in the body. We also have to ask ourselves why cancer cells rarely “spread” to the closest neighboring tissue, e.g., from the uterus to the cervix.

If cancer cells travel via the bloodstream, why is donated blood not screened for cancer cells? Why are there not multitudinous tumors found in the walls of the blood vessels of cancer patients? Dr. Hamer does not, of course, dispute the fact of second cancers, but these subsequent tumors are not caused by migrating cancer cells that miraculously transform into a different cell type, but rather by new conflict shocks. New DHSs can be initiated by additional traumatic life experiences or through diagnosis shocks. As already mentioned, an unexpected diagnosis of cancer, or being told that it is “metastasizing” can trigger a death-fright (causing lung cancer) or any other type of diagnosis-related shock, causing new cancers in other parts of the body. In many cases these patients don’t make it into the healing phase, because the severe state of stress weakens them to a point where they have very little chance of surviving the highly toxic chemotherapy treatment.

The second most frequent cancer after lung cancer is bone cancer. Dr. Hamer found that our bones are biologically linked to our self-esteem and our self-worth. Thus, being told one has a “life-threatening illness”, especially one that allegedly “spreads like wildfire” through the body, is equated with: “now I am useless”, and the bone(s), next to where we feel “useless” start to decalcify (in the case of breast cancer often in the area of the sternum or the ribs). Just as with a fractured bone, the purpose of the biological program (of the “disease”) appears at the end of the healing phase. When the repair phase is completed, the bone will be much stronger at that site, thus assuring that we are better equipped for the eventuality of a new “self-devaluation conflict”.

**THE NATURE OF BRAIN TUMORS**
Once the conflict has been resolved, the brain lesion—along with the psyche and the organ—also enters the healing phase. As with any wound that is being repaired, an edema (excess fluid) develops to provide protection of the recovering neural tissue. On the brain scan the changes are clearly noticeable: the sharp target rings submerge in the edema and appear now as blurry, indistinct and dark. At the height of the healing phase, when the brain edema has reached its maximum size, the brain triggers a brief, strong push that expels the edema. In GNM terminology, this counter regulation is called the “Epileptoid Crisis” (EC).
During this crisis, the entire organism is thrust briefly into a state of sympathicotonia, i.e., re-living the typical symptoms of the conflict-active phase such as cold sweats, cold extremities, a fast heartbeat, and nausea. The intensity and duration of this pre-programmed crisis is determined by the intensity and the duration of the preceding conflict. Heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and epileptic seizures are just a few examples of this crucial turning point. The type of “crisis” always depends on the nature of the conflict and the precise brain area involved.
After the brain edema has been pressed out, neuroglia, which is brain connective tissue that provides structural support for neurons, assembles at the site to restore the function of the nerve cells that were affected by the conflict shock (DHS). It is this natural glia accumulation that conventional medicine labels as a “brain tumor”, with often dire consequences for the patient. Dr. Hamer established already in 1981 that a “brain tumor” is not a disease in itself, but symptomatic of a healing phase that runs parallel in the organ (controlled from the correlated area of the brain that is simultaneously undergoing the repair phase). “Metastatic brain cancers”, therefore, do not exist either.

**GNM THERAPY (in a nutshell)**
The very first step in GNM therapy is to provide an understanding of the biological nature of a symptom, e.g., a certain cancer, in relation to its psychical cause. A brain scan and a thorough medical history are vital to determine whether the patient is still conflict-active or is already healing. If still in the active phase, the focus is to identify the original DHS and to develop a strategy to resolve the conflict. It is crucial to prepare the patient for the healing symptoms and for potential complications. These symptoms are very predictable! Dr. Hamer’s findings provide us —for first time in the history of medicine—with a reliable system that allows us not only to understand but also to predict the development and symptoms of each and every disease. This is real preventive medicine, an aspect of German New Medicine which can hardly be emphasized enough.
True prevention requires an understanding of the real cause of a disease, and that is what Dr. Hamer’s research supplies in splendid detail. By understanding the “Five Biological Laws” of the cause and healing process of disease we can free ourselves from the fear and panic that often come with the onset of symptoms. This knowledge is more than power, it can save lives.

We believe that the body was created by God to heal from all symptoms, conditions and diseases and if the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health are lived and the stored mental/emotional toxins (lies), traumas and shocks are replaced with Truth then vibrant health of body, mind and emotions can be regained.
It is our belief at Total Health Institute that the body, created by God, can naturally heal when the proper internal and external environment is produced.
We never have and never will treat any symptom, condition or disease.
Our purpose is to promote total health of the body, mind and spirit through natural treatments and therapies along with teaching the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health™ lifestyle and the Truth to set each person free from incorrect learned knowledge about health and healing.
Stored mental/emotional traumas (lies)that occurred in the first 20 years of life can be stored in the body as a mental/emotional trauma or shock. This mental/emotional pattern can be retriggered within 1-2 years of the onset of a condition or disease.

**This retriggering has a cascade effect of:**
1. Excessive thought activity in the brain, this can actually cause the brain cells to be destroyed because of the mental/emotional stress.
2. The possible associated organ that the brain area supplies can also be affected thus causing symptoms, conditions and diseases.
One of the ways to complete the healing so that the body can once again be in total health and not fall into chronic recurring symptoms, conditions and diseases is to find and resolve the original mental/emotional traumas or shocks by replacing the lies with Truth.

Whatever Makes You Unhappy

Why It Takes Enormous Strength To Walk Away From What Is Comfortable.

Fall is in full force. The weather is changing. Soon, there will be no trace left of the summer days. As the pigment of the leaves changes, we watch them fall off the branches, then make their way back to Earth. It’s a reminder that every now and then, we need to use our strength and make some changes in our lives.
Oftentimes, we become so accustomed to things and people that we try to hold onto them too tightly out of fear of change. On one hand, convenience and familiarity is comfortable. Our minds can make us believe we need these things, situations, and relationships, and that’s why we hold on to them for dear life.
People and things will come in and out of our lives, so we need to learn when it’s time to walk away. This has been one of the hardest lessons for me to learn. I’ve had to painfully walk away from people and things that I wanted to hold onto because I feared letting go. I was able to let them out of my life, but it took strength to walk away.

**It takes strength to walk away from someone you love.**
When holding on is hurting you, and you’re stuck in a relationship that is no longer what you want, what you *deserve*, it’s time to walk away. Walking away requires strength. Leaving others behind might hurt at first, but once the pain is gone, you will start to see things from a different perspective. You will understand that walking away from someone who is not good for you is a sign of strength and courage. By walking away, you are freeing yourself to eventually find a better partner.

**It takes strength to walk away from friends who no longer walk the same path.**
If you have grown apart from your friends, it takes strength to understand that not all friendships are meant to last forever. By walking away, though, you’re not discrediting what you once had, you’re not forgetting the memories and the good times you once shared. Instead, you are simply acknowledging that you and your friends are different now, that things have changed, and this is not what you want anymore.

**It takes strength to walk away from the past.**
The past has so many memories from which we don’t want to move on. Our hearts see the good in those sweet times, the history within them. But the pain that the past brings keeps you from living in the present, and living in the past ruins your future.

**It takes strength to walk away from bad situations.**
When you know that nothing you can do will change a situation,
walking away is the best solution. You just can’t fix some things.

**It takes strength to walk away from a career.**
You may have invested your best years and worked your way up, but when a job has ceased being satisfying or what you’re doing is no longer fun, it’s time to walk away.
It takes strength to walk away from what is comfortable. You need strength to walk away, and leave everything behind. It takes strength to walk away from relationships, friends, and even family. You need strength to walk away from all that you’ve ever known. It takes strength to walk away from everything that no longer serves you. You need strength to walk away from things in your life to which you find yourself too emotionally attached.
When you finally realize your worth, you’ll walk away from your past; people, habits, and choices that don’t serve you. You will realize that these things are getting in the way of your own personal growth and happiness.
*Walk away from anything that taxes you mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually.*
Walk away from anything that no longer makes you happy, and trust that life has better plans for you. Whenever we walk away from anything that’s not serving us, the Universe will bring us something even more wonderful.
Walking away from people and things that are no longer meant to be in our lives allows us to start making new, positive memories and to replace those people and things with better ones.
Walk away from what no longer serves you and gravitate towards the people who make you happy, the things that bring you joy, and the places that bring you peace.
Walking away shows that you are strong. Walking away has nothing to do with weakness, but everything to do with strength. Grab onto the future and walk away from the past because you deserve it.

Why You Forget What You Were Doing When You Walk Into A Room
By Katie Pratt, Ph.D.

The brain is the least understood organ in the human body: Three pounds of tightly organized and highly specialized cells that guide every thought, action, and heartbeat of your life. It is where we store memories, how we balance our checkbooks, and where we feel emotions. But every so often our brains let us down.
One particularly infuriating, if not life threatening, example of this is the well-documented phenomenon of **walking into a room and forgetting why you are there**. Why is it that the one organ of our body that can keep us breathing while we are sleeping seems to be unable to remind us of why we stepped into the kitchen?

**This is the question that drives.**
Notre Dame scientist Gabriel Radvansky who has spent close to 20 years trying to find the answer. Last year saw the publication of a breakthrough paper from his research team that shed some light on the problem.
We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or find.
Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses. “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains. “Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized.”
The study was published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
Conducting three experiments in both real and virtual environments, Radvansky’s subjects – all college students – performed memory tasks while crossing a room and while exiting a doorway.

In the first experiment, subjects used a virtual environment and moved from one room to another, selecting an object on a table and exchanging it for an object at a different table. They did the same thing while simply moving across a room but not crossing through a doorway.
Radvansky found that the subjects forgot more after walking through a doorway compared to moving the same distance across a room, suggesting that the doorway or “event boundary” impedes one’s ability to retrieve thoughts or decisions made in a different room.

The second experiment in a real-world setting required subjects to conceal in boxes the objects chosen from the table and move either across a room or travel the same distance and walk through a doorway. The results in the real-world environment replicated those in the virtual world: walking through a doorway diminished subjects’ memories.

The final experiment was designed to test whether doorways actually served as event boundaries or if one’s ability to remember is linked to the environment in which a decision – in this case, the selection of an object – was created. Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context. Subjects in this leg of the study passed through several doorways, leading back to the room in which they started.
The results showed no improvements in memory, suggesting that the act of passing through a doorway serves as a way the mind files away memories.

Published in *The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology*, Radvansky used a combination of computer-based and real-world experiments to assess how people’s memories responded to changing environments. The tasks were simple: pick up an object, such as a red cube or a purple disc, from a table and carry it over to another table. The second table would either be in the same room or in another room. In the computer simulated experiment, the fifty-or-so student participants had to traverse a 55-room environment picking up and putting down variously colored and shaped objects, and every so often they were asked what they had just put down.
In a similar experiment, Radvansky used the three rooms of his lab to test the participants’ level of recall as they passed from room to room. In both types of experiments, passing through a door and into a new room resulted in an increased error rate in responding.

**That is, passing through a door seemed to make people forget what object they had just carried through it.**
The underlying brain phenomenon responsible for this is what is known as an **“event boundary”**. Our brains compartmentalize events and tie them to the environment, or room, in which they occurred. By moving from one room to the next, the brain effectively **creates a file containing all the information about the first room, and what you did there, and tucks it away**. It then starts to focus on the second room. Thus, remembering what you intended to do upon leaving the first room is a lot harder than if you had simply crossed from one side of the room to the other.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Not really. You could try mumbling the task to yourself as you move from room to room, or write yourself a note on the back of your hand. Or, as Radvansky once joked, “Doorways are bad.
Avoid them at all costs.”

We have been training people how to create cognitive preparedness for such processes as “Event Boundaries” or absentmindedness as it is labeled so often. Our memory can be trained to hold such information on a tip of the finger so to speak by EPIMEMORY- The mind’s eye. All we need is a mental location to store information we call a File, a picture of the task, process, item or data needed and what we call Glue- an action of visual bonding the picture to the file until needed. One of the files we teach is a body file. The first file being your toes. So I will give you the example using that file. If you are sitting in your recliner at a commercial, decide to get a snack and walk into the kitchen only to have your phone ring distracting you.

**The situation of Event Boundary loss occurs.**
F P G formula is if you were going to get a sandwich, the sandwich between your toes or something even more novel or animated. When you get off of the phone then look down at your toes and the snack will remind you because of the action you visually bind it with to your toe file.
You simply must always review your file to recall the queue. It’s actually called the encoding specificity principle which says a stimulus can cause you to retrieve a memory as long as the memory is tied to a queue. The file (toes) is a queue, the picture of the sandwich is a queue, and the action you filed the sandwich to your toes with is a queue. So the beauty is one queue activates the other two. Works for our students and has me for 25 years.

“America’s Memory Guru” Memory Technologies Institute Cognitive Psychologist Harold Mangum Corporate Mnemonics Instructor, The Doorway Effect: Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room?

Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental blockage” in the brain, meaning that walking through open doors resets memory to make room for a new episode to emerge. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.
Imagine you’re sitting in front of the TV watching the replays of your favorite TV show. There’s a commercial running, so you want to change channels, but the remote control is nowhere to be found. You call your mom in the other room and she tells you that it’s lying on top of the fridge in the kitchen.
Slowly you are heading towards the kitchen, but suddenly the phone starts buzzing. You pick up the phone and check the latest news as you enter the kitchen. As soon as you are done with the phone, you look up and realize that you are in the kitchen, but for some reason you cannot find out why!

**What is the Doorway Effect?**
The Doorway Effect: Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room? You say to yourself: “Why did I come here? What should I do here?”
After trying to recall what was it that brought you into the kitchen, you give up and head back to the TV room without ever accomplishing your original task, i.e., fetching the remote from the kitchen.
This is a classic example of how we sometimes forget what we should do as soon as we enter a room. If you think you are the only one experiencing this, let me tell you that you are not alone. It can happen to the most brilliant people with the best memories; in fact, it happens to everyone!

It often happens that we enter a room and have absolutely no idea what we are doing there. Psychologists aptly call this phenomenon the doorway effect.
In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with numerous sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and retrieve that box of memory.
As beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex, and, as recent studies have shown, it has the ability to change over a person’s lifetime.
The idea of the plasticity of the human brain gained prominence in the late 20th century. Before that, it was believed that the brain developed during a critical period in early childhood and then remained relatively unchanged.
Human memories are episodic, as opposed to clear, linear narratives, which means that they are segmented and strongly depend on the person who makes them. For example, the way one remembers a particular incident will most likely differ from the way another person remembers exactly the same incident.

**An interesting study on the doorway effect:**
In a series of studies conducted by Gabriel Radvansky and his colleagues at the University of Notre Dame, it has been observed that changing rooms and walking through doors actually make us forget things.
In the first study, they recruited dozens of participants to use computer buttons to navigate a virtual reality environment depicted on a television screen, consisting of a total of 55 rooms, some large and some small.
On each table there was an item that was no longer visible as soon as it was picked up by the participant. The task of the participants was to pick up an item and take it to another table, where they were to deposit it and select a new one.
It was observed that participants’ memory performance was worse when they walked through an open door than when they walked the same distance within the same room, i.e. when they did not walk through a door.

Entering a different room sometimes makes us forget things
In the next part of the study, the researchers tested the door opening effect
on the basis of real rooms in which the participants were travelling in a real environment. Interestingly, the same observations were recorded, as it was difficult for people to remember the previous object as they walked through a door.

What is the reason for the door opener effect?
So far, there is no concrete explanation behind this phenomenon, but psychologists believe that passing through a doorway and entering a different room creates a mental block in the brain. This hypothesis is supported by a study on memory, which demonstrated that people passing through doorways experienced a ‘divide’ in their memory.
In addition, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for the emergence of a new episode. In nerd terms, this short experience of passing through a door from one room to another is called the location updating effect.

Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room?
The good news is that — experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory, intelligence, or cognitive abilities. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!

**Sometimes You Have to Walk Away and Come Back Later.**
We all have the kind of days where nothing goes right. Everything you try to work on takes twice as long as usual, the computer crashes before you have saved what you were writing, your Internet quits while you are updating files, etc…
Recently I spent over an hour working on a theme I was creating and got nowhere. By the end of the hour, I replaced everything I had done with the original files and it felt like a wasted hour. When I went back to that project a day or two later, everything was fine and I finished the work quickly.
I’ve gotten better at walking away and coming back to a task with a clear head and then completing but it can still be really hard to do. Here are the reasons for this:

1. My schedule may be really tight and it might not be possible to work on the project at another time.
2. I told the client that it would be completed today.
3. I might wake up super sick tomorrow. Unlikely but I do find when I put something off until later, that something unexpected like food poisoning gets in the way.
4. I am a little (a lot) obsessed with schedules. If I plan to work on something between 2pm – 3pm then I get flustered and lost focus if this doesn’t happen and find it difficult to move on to something else.

As I’ve aged, I’ve found that things out of control happen all of the time and that I am not always 100% focused when it’s necessary. So, it’s important to be more flexible. I might feel like I’m not accomplishing anything if I walk away from something that isn’t working properly but by doing so it gets resolved quickly later on and I ultimately end up saving time. In the past I would have kept working and working to find a solution and usually only ended up feeling frustrated and that wasn’t very good at my chosen profession.
At the end of the day when letting someone go that you’ve been seeing and knowing you just have to keep a clear head and mind throughout your life.
It’s important to take a break, think about something else for a while and
then come back to what you were trying to accomplish.

**The solution almost always comes immediately when I do this.**
How about you? Do you find this works? Are you able to walk away?
Or are you doggedly persistent? I used to be and found that I only ended
up feeling frustrated and wasting time.

Because it lacks patience, the ego is easily lured by quick fixes, magic bullets, shortcuts, and get-rich-quick schemes. And because the ego is forever unwilling to delay gratification, it’s compulsive, impulsive, indulgent, and anxious.

Patience is the answer to anxiety.
When things get tough, when times are trying, when a challenge feels overwhelming, when it feels like you’re not making progress fast enough, just know — impatience is the culprit and patience is the answer. When anxiety strikes, remind yourself that patience is Mother Nature’s secret.

Patience is what outlasts every obstacle. Patience is the essential ingredient in genius. Don’t be anxious; be patient… and all that is good will find you. Patience wins every battle.

There are those in denial who voted by Biden and are controlled by their ego. And there are those who are still very brainwashed. 🙁

The only thing the government can do about inflation is something it never wants to do about it. That is, to do a lot less about everything. The economy is driven by consumers, which require goods to consume, which require healthy workers to produce them, who if in addition have gravely sick kids cannot produce the goods which in demand drive inflation up. Macroeconomics 101.

Biden can’t get the ports unclogged, bring down inflation or stop the pandemic. But he can change the weather with money. BS! What about all this migrant kids? EXEMPT! WTH are they doing to the American people? Something is VERY wrong!! This isn’t about Covid!

Answer for this madness pass on https://youtu.be/hSB9iNL8Vr8
A week ago, I would think it’s crazy, but now I totally believe everything is leading to that way. It’s all about CONTROL. We will lose everything and be forced to be slave Until we all stand up now before it’s too late.

The longer covid hysteria goes on, the more his numbers go down. I said in May that this exact thing would happen if we didn’t go back to 2019 normal in the summer. He’d be advised to use the pediatric shots to declare victory and move on. The Biden Bubble is About to Pop (Preview) | (masculineepic.com)

Yeah prices on everything are going through the roof but I’m concerned

that we are shooting questionable “vaccines” into out kids

More likely “provide a lot of lawsuits”!

Amazing how, for democrats, the “solution” to all that ails the country is the vaccination. Inflation? Vax | Border? Vax High fuel costs? Vax | High food costs? Vax I think the solution to all that ails this country is to get rid of all the socialists & communists.

Omg, these people are disgusting! A year ago kids had very little to do with Covid, passing or spreading it, getting sick from it, now they want to jab your kids too! Do NOT COMPLY! DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS BE THEIR PIN CUSHION OR LAB RATS!! THERE ARE NO STUDIES SHOWING THE SHORT OR LONG TERM AFFECTS!!
