Yesterday I showed up in the office of my Endocrinologist after an absence of four years. Wow! what a greeting, 'Who do you think you are? Oops...doctors do not like that when you carry my load and don't visit them. I've lost down to 110 pounds...my Thyroid has gone berzerk and I have Graves disease (eyooo) bad girl..now I am scheduling a CT Scan of my left eye. Uh oh...I despise the 'S' word. Not a good thing and I don't like surgeons especially. He said, 'DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? YOU HAVE GRAVES; DISEASE????.' WELL ACTUALLY THE OTHER PATIENTS AND THE FRONT DESK HEARD HIM TOO.

I have a friend who is on Facebook. Clint Weber. He is/was very involved with children's lives and until recently traveled to places like Borneo giving help. He, sounds like you. He is interested in a lot of things and very very smart .Nancy He is a retired Seal. He warned me about Fauici before anyone else had heard that name. We are both interested about a lot of things. I was a Washington lobbyist for ten years dealing with business interests.

I no longer have any leftist friends. I can no longer tolerate them. Several years ago I was at a liberal friend's house, and some liberal idea was being discussed. Back then, I chose to not engage in argument ( I no longer feel this way). So I said nothing. She then said "Well. I guess someone doesn't agree". That is how they operate. They want confrontation. They want to argue. They are like bullies. If you don't say anything, they try to pull you in to an argument. They are out of touch with reality, which is a sign of psychosis.

The metal-value of the Roman Empire coinage fell toward zero as the empire fell.

The 'reaction' today to the tariffs is not the free market.
Its the Deep State banksters herding the sheep back into the stampede over the cliff
that enslaves every productive person and enterprise and supports the existing
bankster cartel power structure.
"Let us control you. Freedom is dangerous. We keep you safe. You will own nothing and be happy. (Or Else.)"

Yes, that propping up is the elephant in the room no one is talking about.

Great, OUC. 👍
Now if only the @$$#@t$ on Wall St would state the obvious:
The markets have been propped up by fedgov for the entire 21st century,
and its time for actual tangible production instead of monetization of
a vacuum.

Perfect . . .

That would have been perfect !!!!!

As great as the LOTR reference was, it would have been better if you had used palantirs!

This post has inspired what my deceased mother called a "daddy" joke like my deceased father used to tell usually at the dinner table.
To wit~~Goldberg's Atlantic is called Atlantic because it ain't Pacific with the truth.

As I mentioned here...I'm picking my way through the book "The Indoctrinated Brain". I only really make time to read it when I'm on a jet liner...so spotty. But, in watching recent videos of people being arrested for felonies for vandalizing Teslas and cars that have Trump/MAGA stickers I'm seeing a very high level of insane, almost demonic behavior. Saw one clip of a young guy cutting off a 60-something year old woman driving a Tesla and beating her up. There's surely something going on with American brains. It's unsustainable and unless the authorities take it seriously it may escalate into worse. That's the mental health facet. The other facet is ALL THIS fraud and government debt that has gone wildly out of control. It has devalued the dollar severely and it's really not being reported much in the news. But, everybody I know is griping about the price of things. It's the 300-pound gorilla in the room.

So, we're financially in trouble and don't have the mental wherewithal to address it. Probably how empires collapse, right?...

Ha! That was really great. We'll hook up again for sure! I still would like to pick a central location where some of the members here can meet up for a lunch and afternoon of chill and chat. I'm thinking Colorado...

...can relate.

Well, we have something in common. I am a retired physician, just entering the 7th decade.

Oh, his position is EMOTIONAL and NOT logical.
from his perspective (my guess).
If he does this, and it HELPS. It proves to him that his own "Doctor Daughter" was simply wrong.
Second, I don't think he could even tell her, because she would claim it was a coincidence.
Third, and this is critical. He will realize she HURT HIM.
And he is not ready to concede that, at all.
Worse, what will happen to her if she realizes she hurt her father?
(One would hope, she would become introspective like: Dr. Aseem Malhotra in the UK when he realized he recommended the vax to his father who then had a cardiac event).

Eventually, I think we get there.

And I 100% agree with you. The safety margins on this drug are AMAZING.
It should be freely available over the counter, and it should be STEP 1 for Flu season if we are being honest.

I will keep working on him. But the doctors have him running scared saying shit like "Yeah, it's all find and good until it interacts with the blood thinners and you bleed out in your car!" (See, they are worried about your safety AFTER you get in line... LOL to keep you in line!)

An interesting list.

Item 5. Unclear to me, can you elaborate?
Does it mean that an imperfect market with crime still beats a highly regulated structure on cost with better performance?

Here's an excerpt what I sent to RFK Jr:

<<
1 Intravenous hydrogen peroxide as a treatment for respiratory viruses and as an emergency infusion when people are suspected of heart attacks or strokes. and why

2 Coronavirus morbidity as possibly significant only if there is a pre-existing and previously undetected fungus infection, therefore antifungal antibiotics can be used and vaccinations are not needed for such viruses

3 Magnesium supplements pre-emptively in late pregnancy to reduce the risk of eclampsia

4 Iodine as a breast-cancer deterrent and the silence of organized cancer organizations to that effect

5 The dual-reimbursement economic theory that I developed that, if fraud, bankruptcy, and transaction costs are ignored (a major oversimplification I admit) will reduce the expected cost of medical care below that of fee-for-service without loss of quality and without pressure to overtreat or undertreat

6 The mental-health profession's failure to recognize behavioral contributors to ADHD (cognitive dissonance) and autism (beliefs imputed to a child)

7 The need to place human-relations concepts into a school curriculum before hormone surges interfere with judgment so that boys and girls can learn what constitutes abusive behavior and what to do if it occurs, thereby parrying exploitive romantic relationships before they have a chance to form

8 The need to begin the psychological process of rehabilitation immediately after a major injury, and why (been there, done that): waiting until reconstructive surgery is over is too late for the best outcome

9 The case for oxygen tanks for emergency use wherever AEDs are.

10 My experience in Maine during which I noted by screening tests that about half of the mental-health patients had low copper levels and prescribed copper supplements (inexpensive) to treat them

11 Awareness that although food is often transported great distances water is not, and suggestion that the regional difference in prevalence of multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions may be traceable to the content of drinking water, with similar inferences about why prescription drugs may be more useful in one locale than another if the water composition differs

12 Potatoes contain alkaloids that in turn resemble, biochemically, prolactin inhibiting factor (dopamine) so that many frustrated new mothers with breastfeeding difficulty can be cured by telling them not to eat potatoes: I had such a patient and essentially cured her with that explanation

13 Lack of information offered to cancer patients and others who require costly intravenous treatments about the option, and right to exercise it, of buying their needed drugs at discount pharmacies and bringing the drug vials to the physician’s office, thereby not allowing treating physicians to claim horrendous markups, a lack of information that was specifically mentioned to me when I complained to the Maine medical board about it years ago
>>

I forgot to add rescinding prescription requirements for non-addictive drugs (evidence: evidence going over-the-counter did not cause an epidemic of insulin shock), and the doing driving evaluations on oldsters with and without oxygen in case of cerebral ischemia under (driving for example) stress. Stress-induced oxygen deficiency in the brain is missed by finger oxygen measurements.

Reply with contact info of the influential, please, if you have it.

OFF Subject sorta. Even the Lesbians are pissed at the Marxist lefties, seems they are out to get everyone . . . so much for their queer narratives!

sometimes you WANT your enemy and the rest of the world to know what you are doing

they cannot stop you from punishing them for their attacks on others and us, let them know and the world know

IMHO, the age of the guy "with an IQ approaching 3 digits and who's willing to climb a ladder and turn a screwdriver" may also be more than halfway to 3 digits and there aren't as many around. If you want 'em, you have to pay for 'em. If the money isn't there, neither are they. I'm used to fixing my own stuff, but I'm getting to the point I'm doing it less and less and finding people that can with quality is getting more challenging.

+1

A thoughtful set this time, OUC, thanks. If JG on the call wasn't an accident, it was a well thought out deliberate plan. The reaction was like a flock of seagulls at the beach when you approach - lots of squawking and flapping, but nothing happens. Yes, that apple is all worm - NIFO.

The LOTR reference was great. Thank you

Well, at least I enjoyed seeing you when you came to Melbourne!
