Blame the Fed for ‘Shrinkflation’

President Biden may have recently made history as the first president to discuss snack chips in the State of the Union message. He used snack chips to illustrate the phenomenon of shrinkflation. Shrinkflation occurs when businesses reduce the amount of goods sold in order to avoid raising prices. President Biden pointed out that businesses hope that, since both the price and the size of the package remain the same, most consumers will not notice they are getting fewer chips, cookies, or whatever...

Ozempic: Big Pharma Obesity To Suicide Drug Quackery

Weight Loss drugs promise the moon, the stars, and the sky!  Wegovy by Nordisk is one such monumental explosion.   The US trade name for Wegovy is Ozempic.   The newest drug of Hollywood and Oprah.   Their website claims that demand is so high, there will be interruptions in supply – so make sure and order five years worth …. Before it is yanked off the market.

Without insurance, Wegovy costs $270 per month.   The Phase 2 Trial was administered over a 68 week period on a total of 1961 people acr...

The Best Thing We Can Do for Our Health

Today is World Sleep Day, which is a good occasion for me to make a confession. I’d like to start by quoting Paul’s letter to the Romans (7:15). As the verse is translated in the Christian Standard Bible translation, Paul wrote:

For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

It seems to me that Paul’s confession is an apt expression of why I so rarely get a good night’s sleep. Take yesterday and last night for example.

Yesterday, I did...

The Ever Widening War

I have no idea why French President Macron is talking so aggressively about war with Russia, saying he will send French soldiers to Odessa and telling Russia’s President Putin “We are a nuclear power and We are ready,” or who might have put him up to taking such an aggressive position.

I have been writing for two years that Putin needs to end the conflict as the war continues to widen and will spin out of control. The way Putin has fought this conflict is a strategic blunder of the worst kind. R...

Fear Campaign Resulting from Totally Invalid Covid-19 ‘Confirmed Cases’

“The PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.”  —Dr. Kary Mullis, Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.

“…All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what’s called false positives tests.” —Dr. Michael Yeadon, distinguished scientist, former Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Pfizer

“This misuse of the RT-PCR technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures su...

How To Make $ Billions – Fast

It’s hard to grasp the concept of a Million of anything – that’s one thousand Thousands – yet we deal with that number pretty well.  It’s much harder to conceptualize a Billion, 1,000 Millions . . .

What if you wanted to make  $$ Billions of dollars, in a hurry?  Guaranteed and without risk?

We have an excellent recent example.  Here is the blueprint that they used:

Patent a product that will sell worldwide in the billions of dollars, and in a very short time.  Make sure the government regulator...

The Pros and Cons of Ketone Supplementation

In this interview, Frank Llosa, founder and CEO of KetoneAid Inc., and I discuss the pros and cons of exogenous ketones (supplemental ketones). Your body makes ketones under certain conditions (so-called endogenous ketones), but you can also take them orally.

I used to take ketones, but over the past year or so have changed my position on this. I now believe that it’s relatively unhealthy for your body to create ketones on a chronic basis. Not that you should never do it, but it’s an emergency ...

What Are Bombs Made For?

The ultimate purpose for which a bomb exists is to kill people, to maim people, to cause people great suffering. Over the last twenty years the U.S. Catholic Bishops have unanimously taught as a canonical unit, National Conference, that it was morally in conformity with the Gospel of Jesus Christ for U.S. Catholics to be members of the chain of murder that was required to bomb, kill and maim millions of civilian men, women and children in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and the Ukraine. The Amer...

The TikTok Totalitarians

On Wednesday, March 13th, a bipartisan group of US Representatives voted to give the US president the power to remove any website, computer or mobile application, or even service provider that the president determines – without due process – is run by “a person subject to the direction of control of a foreign person or entity” as long as that foreign person or entity is declared an “adversary” of the US.

And who gets to decide who is an “adversary”? The US President.

Cut through the hollow propa...

Disarm the State: You Are Now Considered Criminals While the Real Criminals Are Protected

“Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers’ enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its...
