Election Reminder

Idaho Proposition 1 — Are you Pro-Life or Pro-Death?

Idaho GOP Press Release

Press Release: Idaho GOP Statement On the Radical Abortion Initiative Qualifying for the November Ballot (07/14/26)

Idaho Republican Party issued a press release about what’s at stake now that virtually unlimited abortion is on the November 2026 ballot. Idaho GOP urges voters to read the FULL TEXT of Proposition 1 before casting their ballots. More details here.

Key points from press release about Proposition 1:

• Idaho protected unborn children before statehood, with the territorial legislature doing so in 1864. Prop 1 directly attacks Idaho’s pro-life pro-family values by legalizing abortion.

• Has no time limit for abortion (no reference to weeks such as six, fifteen, or twenty-four).

• Roe v. Wade (overturned by US Supreme Court in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022)) allowed states to require a physician. Prop 1 only specifies “a licensed person or an entity.” (Grok query: Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v Jackson Supreme Court decisions.)

• Legalizes abortion at nine months if a provider “deems it necessary,” even if a healthy baby could otherwise be delivered. A provider’s opinion is the whole test.

• Current Idaho law requires doctors to try to save a baby who can survive; Proposition 1 removes that entirely and does not reference the unborn baby.

• Threatens mothers’ lives: Maternal mortality improved after Idaho’s Defense of Life Act. Unsupervised abortion endangers women’s lives.

• Voters should read Proposition 1 for themselves and vote no.

• Op-Ed: Nine Month Abortion is Too Radical for Idaho. By Dorothy Moon, IDGOP Chairwoman

Brian Lenney

Guest commentary: Prop 1 has a hidden agenda. By State Senator Brian Lenney (07/18/26)

Idaho State Sen. Brian Lenney explains that the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act (Proposition 1) goes beyond legalizing abortion by containing language that could undermine protections for minors against certain medical mutilation procedures colloquially known as “transing.”

Read the entire article. It’s short. It’s sharp. And it’s on the money. Key quotes from Sen. Brian Lenney below:

This is a Democrat-backed Trojan horse and anyone who wants to protect children should see this initiative for exactly what it is.
....
Here’s how it works: if passed, the initiative grants a right to “reproductive health care that directly impact the person’s own body,” then lists a bunch of pregnancy/abortion-related stuff. But five little words sit in front of that list: “including but not limited to.” For a lawyer, that’s an open door.
...

One more phrase sits at the front: “Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary.” Translation? Whatever a court says this right covers beats every statute already on the books (e.g. our child protection law). So it’s whatever a black robe says it is, until a higher court reverses it, or you go back to the ballot and fight the whole thing over again.

Vote no in November and the child protection law stays put. Easy. Replacing a leftist judge, though? That could take a decade.

Idaho currently has strong anti-abortion, anti-trans statutes, listed below:

• Vulnerable Child Protection Act (2023): Prohibits puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and trans surgeries on Idaho children.

• Idaho Code § 18-622 (Defense of Life Act / Trigger Ban): Criminalizes abortion (felony, 2-5 years prison for providers). Exceptions: life of mother; rape/incest (first trimester only, with police report). Statute | Bill: S1385 (2020).

• Idaho Code §§ 18-8804 to 18-8807 (6-week ban / heartbeat law): Bans abortion after ~6 weeks via private civil lawsuits. Statute | Bill: S1309 (2022).

• Abortion Trafficking (H242, 2023): Criminalizes transporting/recruiting minors for abortion without parental consent (2-5 years). Statute | Bill: H0242.

Prop 1 does not name or reference these laws at all; the carefully lawyered omissions are intentional.

Passing this leftist act would establish “reproductive freedom” as state law, which would legalize abortion. However, passing the act also creates a sneakier, less-discussed element: Broad “reproductive healthcare” and “privacy” language that could shield puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors from future restrictions. Yes, Idaho, they could “trans” your kids.

Prop 1 is broadly and vaguely written to mislead voters. Sen. Lenney urges you not to be fooled.

VOTE NO to prevent abortion (up to the point of viability) and prevent opening the door to medical interventions that would mutilate and forever alter the reproductive organs and bodies of minors. VOTE NO to preserve current law in Idaho.

Glenneda Zuiderveld — Your Vote Can Save a Life

Your Vote Can Save a Life. The Future of Idaho and the Unborn is on Your November Ballot. By Glenneda Zuiderveld (07/14/26)

Glenneda Zuiderveld calls on Idaho voters, especially churches, to oppose the proposed “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” on the November ballot, warning that it threatens unborn lives and the state’s conservative values.

This misleadingly titled initiative would:

• Significantly expand access to abortion, including after fetal viability under certain circumstances.

• Weaken parental involvement protections for minors seeking abortions.

• Create broader legal challenges to state regulations involving reproductive health.

• Potentially affect Medicaid-funded services.

• Impact future litigation involving gender-related medical procedures.

Call to Churches and Scriptural Responsibility: Churches of Idaho must use their voice, involvement, and votes on the issue of life. Idaho has approximately 2,392 congregations per the 2020 U.S. Religion Census. Pastors, elders, deacons, and leaders should encourage registration, information, and voting to protect the vulnerable as God’s image bearers. James 4:17 (ESV): “So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”

Ballot Initiative Process: Zuiderveld asks whether Idaho’s ballot initiative process serves the state’s long-term interests, noting California’s heavy use (14 measures expected this year versus 45 in 1990). In Idaho, the ballot initiative process enabled successful and egregiously expensive Medicaid expansion and continuing marijuana legalization efforts.

Call to Action: Zuiderveld is partnering with with Honor Idaho to oppose this measure and asks for your donations to the group.

Crime and Non-Enforcement in Boise

Sen. Brian Lenney — Boise isn’t Safe Anymore

Boise isn’t safe anymore… Because the people in charge of protecting the city (Mayor Lauren McLean and the Boise Police Department), won’t. By Brian Lenney (07/14/26)

Idaho Senator Brian Lenney explains that Boise, Idaho, is no longer safe due to failures by local leadership, especially leftist Boise Mayor Lauren McLean, to address homelessness and enforce existing laws. He highlights a recent fatal stabbing on the Greenbelt, described below.

What happened?

25-year-old Jordan Harbst was riding his scooter home along the Greenbelt when he was ambushed and stabbed to death. The homeless man who killed him, identified as 41-year-old Ross Wardlaw, sleeps on that same Greenbelt, according to statements made by the prosecutor in open court. Authorities and others knew about the suspect beforehand, but no action was taken to remove him or address the situation.

S1141 (2025) should be enforced, but isn’t

(4) The attorney general shall have the power to bring a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction against any city or single county-wide highway district to enjoin the city or countywide highway district from knowingly violating the provisions of this section. The attorney general may recover reasonable expenses incurred in any civil action brought under this section, including court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees, investigative costs, witness fees, and deposition costs. Any city or single county-wide highway district that violates the provisions of this section may be assessed a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each violation. Cities or single countywide highway districts against whom civil penalties are assessed are liable for reasonable attorney’s fees. — Page 1-2, Section 4, S1141

Senate Bill S1141 (2025) bars cities the size of Boise from allowing people to camp on public land, and authorizes the attorney general to take the city to court if it does not comply.

Boise Mayor Lauren McLean opposed S1141 throughout its process. She stated that it was “not the solution” and that “Criminalizing homelessness has never, and will never, solve the problems associated with homelessness.”

• Result: Homeless camps remained in place, Boise took only minimal actions to comply, and the fatal incident occurred.

• Governor Little previously deployed (with cameras and publicity) the Idaho National Guard to the Texas border. Sen. Lenney calls on Gov. Little to now send the Guard to Boise—his own backyard—which is “overrun with homeless vagrants.” Governor Little should:

  • Enforce the 2025 camping law.

  • Clear the Greenbelt.

  • Protect Idahoans.

Citizen action items and links:

• Call Governor Little’s office at 208-334-2100 and request that the state enforce S1141 and protect people on the Greenbelt. Alternatively, use the contact form at gov.idaho.gov/contact-us.

• Call Attorney General Labrador's office at 208-334-2400 and ask that he initiate proceedings against Mayor McLean for not enforcing S1141. Alternatively, email the AG at AGLabrador@ag.idaho.gov.

• Portland’s Sweep Machine (see Homelessness & Street Sweeps below)

Kevin Dahlgren — Homelessness & Street Sweeps

Portland’s Sweep Machine. Taxpayers are funding a cycle of cleanup, displacement, and failure while the homeless service system avoids the outcomes that matter. By Kevin Dahlgren (07/14/26)

A typical street homeless person in Portland can be swept dozens of times a year. In some cases, close to a hundred. A small sweep can involve police officers, city staff, cleanup crews, nonprofit outreach workers, trucks, storage, disposal fees, and contractors. By the time it is over, the city can spend thousands of dollars clearing one camp. Multiply that by thousands of sweeps a year, and taxpayers are spending millions to move the same people from one block to the next. This is not how it is supposed to work. The city is supposed to enforce public space laws, but the homeless service system is supposed to do its job too. The goal should be to break the cycle of homelessness, not simply move the same person to a different sidewalk, park, trail, or doorway. — Kevin Dahlgren

Portland’s approach to street homelessness relies heavily on repeated cleanups (”sweeps”) that displace people without effectively connecting them to services or resolving underlying issues, resulting in high taxpayer costs and little long-term progress.

Problems & Limitations of Street Sweeps

— High costs and repeated displacement with minimal results: A typical homeless street person can be swept dozens of times a year (sometimes nearly a hundred), with each sweep involving police, city staff, cleanup crews, nonprofits, trucks, storage, disposal, and contractors costing thousands of dollars per camp. Sweeps cost taxpayers millions annually while simply moving the same people from place to place without breaking the cycle of homelessness.

— Inadequate or nonexistent real help: In well over 90% of more than a thousand sweeps Dahlgren observed, people are displaced but remain homeless. Offers are often unrealistic (e.g., a one-day distant shelter stay with strict limits) or superficial (yelling announcements amid chaos, flyers, or logged contacts). Examples include delayed or camera-prompted responses and failure to provide detox, treatment, shelter, recovery housing, medical care, or long-term support.

— Focus on optics over outcomes and accountability: Sweeps create appearances of action (clean sidewalks, operations completed, trash removed, contacts made) but stop short of tracking results or providing lasting change. Displaced homeless often return to the same places shortly after sweeps are complete.

— Resistance to meaningful metrics. Nonprofits often resist providing meaningful metrics and oversight, sometimes under privacy claims, but often simply protecting ineffective approaches. The system emphasizes motion (posting, sweeping, reappearance, repeated cleanups and funding) rather than progress.

— Unbalanced approaches from both sides: Leaving dangerous encampments — with violence, drug dealing, exploitation, fires, stolen property, and health hazards — in place abandons both residents and the public. However, sweeps without exit plans are mere displacement. Activists may ignore real risks inside camps, while politicians treat sweeps as a complete solution despite inability to resolve addiction, mental illness, trauma, or fentanyl dependency through cleanup alone.

Proposed Solutions

— Individualized assessment and tailored immediate plans: Before any sweep, assess every person by name (not as tents or statistics), covering duration on streets, addiction, mental illness, medical fragility, violence history, family connections, desires for treatment/shelter, transport needs, or existing lists.

Avoid vague referrals like phone numbers or waiting lists. Instead, provide matching pathways:

• Shelter for those who can use it.

• Detox for those ready.

• Recovery housing for those committed.

• Medical care, civil commitment/secure treatment for severe mental illness.

• Family reunification where safe.

— Persistent, comprehensive outreach: Deliver real help before, during, and after sweeps through trust-building, follow-through, and persistence despite initial refusals, addressing full needs including detox, treatment, housing, medical care, transportation, IDs, and long-term support.

— Accountability through outcome tracking and reporting: Currently, little public data exists on shelter acceptance, treatment entry, family reunifications, medical care, refusals, 30-day status, six-month survival, or one-year stability.

Judge sweeps by measurable results, with public city/county reports on each contacted person detailing shelter acceptance, treatment entry, reunifications, medical care, refusals, ongoing street presence, and survival. Prioritize ending homelessness over managing visibility.

— Balanced enforcement with compassion: Conduct necessary sweeps for unsafe encampments while ensuring real exit plans and accountability for refusals, rejecting permanent lawlessness in public spaces without surrendering neighborhoods to hazards.

FDA Issues Emergency Use Authorization for Drug for Short-Term Prevention of New World Screwworm in Horses

To advance the Trump administration’s actions to safeguard American agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Ivermectin Liquid for Horses (ivermectin oral solution) for the short-term prevention of New World screwworm (NWS) infestations (myiasis) in horses. The product is authorized for use when administered within 24 hours of birth or at the time of initial wound care. Ivermectin Liquid for Horses is not for use in species other than horses. — opening paragraph of FDA announcement

We’re not surprised that ivermectin could be effective against New World Screwworm. Ivermectin is a widely used animal anti-parasitic — 40 years and counting.

The abovementioned EUA is specific for horses only. So while it could work in other livestock species, we in no way recommend using the horse product on other species (we don’t want to get into trouble with FDA).

_____

Sidebar Please…

Despite FDA telling us ivermectin was for horses only during COVID era, FDA already has approved ivermectin for human use for intestinal strongyloidiasis (roundworm), onchocerciasis (river blindness), head lice, and rosacea; many use it off-label for other purposes.

For example, ivermectin helped humans fight COVID-19 and avoid hospitalization and death. A 2024 legal settlement with doctors who sued over the agency’s statements on ivermectin required FDA to remove its tweet stating “You are not a horse,” it said. “You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” See Mary Talley Bowden, M.D. post showing X’d out full tweet (scroll down in the post).

Today, ivermectin is available for human use over the counter or behind the counter in states such as Tennessee, Arkansas, Idaho, and Louisiana, though it’s often difficult to obtain due to pharmacy regulations. Other states are working on over the counter or behind the counter legislation.

Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic (anthelmintic and acaricide) widely approved for veterinary use in various animals. It targets nematodes (roundworms) and certain arthropods (mites, lice, grubs, etc.), but it is not effective against tapeworms, flukes, fleas, or ticks in general.

FDA first approved ivermectin for animal use in 1984. The original veterinary product was a 1% injectable ivermectin antiparasitic for livestock. (Ivomec® received FDA approval for cattle and swine under NADA 128-409 | label information). Additional animal ivermectin products and species approvals followed later.

To learn more about ivermectin approved for animals, search for ivermectin in FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine | FDA Approved Animal Drug Products. For information about human ivermectin, see Resources > Ivermectin on our Substack.

The Blank Check You Sign

Hospitals Want You to Sign a Blank Check Before Treatment—Here’s How to Avoid Surprise Bills. Patients are asked to accept a bill for untold costs. It’s not entirely legal and there are ways to fight back. The Smart Patient’s Playbook • Part 16. By By Sheramy Tsai (08/12/26, may require subscription to view)

Quote from Epoch Times article summary:

Days before Theresa Schmotzer’s outpatient surgery, the hospital called, demanding roughly $3,700 upfront.

She had waited months for the procedure. The caller was insistent, Schmotzer recalled, and she feared the surgery would be canceled if she didn’t pay. But the number couldn’t be right. Her maximum out-of-pocket for the year was only $3,500.

While Schmotzer, an occupational therapist in Arizona, was preparing for surgery, she was also becoming a billing investigator.
_____

At the moment patients are most vulnerable—sick, in pain, anxious, or facing a scary diagnosis—they are handed a digital pen and asked to accept full financial responsibility for costs no one has disclosed.
_____

In almost any other part of life, that would be unthinkable. In American medicine, it is routine.

For planned procedures, knowing the price is part of informed consent. Patients have more power than they realize to insist on it before they sign.

Hospitals are increasingly demanding prepayments for planned non-emergency care without disclosing full costs, forcing patients to sign a “blank check” for unknown bills that often exceed estimates.

No One Had an Answer: Theresa Schmotzer, Arizona occupational therapist, received $3,700 prepayment demand days before outpatient surgery meant to remove a fibroid her doctors had seen on imaging; her yearly out-of-pocket max was $3,500. Hospital estimated nearly $29,000. She obtained CPT code from her doctor’s office, contacted Cigna and hospital—neither gave a price. Actual explanation of benefits received later showed $751 owed.

Why No Number Tells the Whole Story: Bills are split among hospital (facility fees for room/equipment/staff), surgeon, anesthesiologist, lab, pathologist—each billing separately. In-network hospital may have an out-of-network unit (example: $30,000 twin delivery surprise from an out-of-neonatal unit in an in-network hospital). Prices vary widely; facility fees are higher at hospitals vs. independent centers. Depends on plan, deductible met, coinsurance, procedure changes. Estimators provide only rough information.

The Blank Check: Cynthia Fisher, PatientRightsAdvocate.org, notes patients sign digital forms committing to pay whatever charged, often without a readable hard copy. Prepayments range from $250 (dermatology) to $30,000 (brain surgery). Hospitals bank on patients not pursuing refunds. (Though Richard Gundling from Healthcare Financial Management Association says overpayments are refunded promptly via processes and audits.)

Washington Is Starting to Notice: June 9, 2026, Trump administration sent warning letters to >500 hospitals for price posting failures, the first step to up to $2M/year fines. Only 28 hospitals were fined since 2021 rule took effect. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said: “Post your real prices.” 2026 rule requires hospitals to report actual dollar amounts paid for services. Bipartisan Patients Deserve Price Tags Act would be stricter. An Advanced Explanation of Benefits solution still is pending.

How to Push Back Before You Pay: For planned nonemergency (article advises never to delay urgent care).

• Get CPT codes from surgeon.

• Call insurer for exact payment.

• Use Medicare rate benchmark (commercial plans often pay ~2x Medicare rate).

• Get everything in writing, including name of person contacted and reference number.

• Ask what is…

  • Cash price?

  • Insurer negotiated price?

  • Prepayment required?

  • Overpay refund timing/method?

• Tools (links below) include: Medicare Procedure Price Lookup, insurer estimator, hospital shoppable services, PatientRightsAdvocate.org, FAIR Health Consumer.

• Compare but confirm specifics with insurer/facility.

It Wasn’t Even Necessary! Schmotzer spent days researching, despite her knowledge of CPT codes. She finally used PatientRightsAdvocate.org for a $751 estimate the morning of surgery. She then underwent the procedure to remove the fibroid found on imaging. But once inside, the surgeon found nothing! The procedure proved completely unnecessary, but still cost Schmotzer $751.

MAHA Alliance, RFK Jr., Del Bigtree & More: Point / Counterpoint

Sasha Latypova

Who owns Bobby? Review of MAHA Alliance financials for 2024-2025. Elon Musk’s owners and Epstein/Diddy friends financed MAHA Alliance. By Sasha Latypova (07/16/26)

Sasha Latypova reviews MAHA Alliance financial records from 2024-2025 to explain why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not revoked PREP Act declarations or assisted COVID victims. The post performs a mini-audit of MAHA Alliance financials. Form 990 lists Del Bigtree as principal officer. Total donations reached $7.8 million in 2024 during Kennedy’s presidential run.

Summaries below correspond with main headings in the article.

Who are the Major Financial Donors to MAHA Alliance?: Federal Election Commission filings show $6 million of ~$8 million raised came from Elon Musk. Patricia (Trish) Duggan donated $1 million (from Pharmacyclics shares acquired by AbbVie for ~$21 billion, generating ~$3.5 billion pre-tax for the Duggans). Timothy Mellon, via American Values 2024, contributed $2.1 million. The Rockefellers gave $400,000.

Where is the money going?: Contractors included Aaron Siri paid $289,000; $200,000 at Amaryllis flower shop in Maryland; Bridget Rasmussen at ~$270,000 for fundraising management. Rasmussen founded Whisper & Roar consulting, served as Kennedy campaign Chief of Staff, co-founded MAHA Alliance and MAHA Action as COO, and managed legislative strategy and partnerships raising over $15 million.

What is “Big Truth Inc.”?: Big Truth Inc. received $310,000 from MAHA Alliance in 2024 for media production, digital media production, travel, and food & beverage. It operates from the same address as Del Bigtree’s residence, with multiple additional payments listed.

Itemized expenses and notable disbursements: No spending went to MAHA causes such as helping COVID victims or achieving accountability. Allocations included $2.5 million on conferences and conventions; ~$2 million “other” to PACs like Turning Point PAC and to political, media, and legal consultants; ~$1 million for travel; ~$600,000 for legal expenses (political consultants only).

2025 Financials (9 months, through Sep 2025): Receipts totaled $73,211.15; disbursements $839,390.33; beginning cash $766,179.18; ending cash $0.00. ~$260,000 went to operating expenses for consultants and MAHA Action; ~$500,000 was donated to MAHA Action. No funds supported victims or health freedom activities.

Who owns Bobby?: Musk funded the majority of 2024-2025 activities. He is presented as a front man for political, deep state, corporate, and foreign interests with ties to transhumanism, technocracy, and Epstein networks, plus X acquisition investors including Ackman, Ellison, Combs/P. Diddy, Saudi Prince Alwaleed, and venture firms. Latypova concludes that MAHA organizations function as money-siphoning grifts capturing donations, attention, and compliance for elite agendas rather than genuine health freedom.

MAHA Inc.: The Machine, the Figurehead, and the Base. A view from inside the Washington Beltway. Who actually runs the health department, and whether the movement’s founder can win back the people he has lost. By Dr. Robert W. Malone (07/20/26)

Executive summary (quoted below)

Make America Healthy Again has become a corporation. A super PAC, three nonprofits, a trademark, and a holding company now carry the brand, built by the publisher Tony Lyons and the financier Mark Gorton, with the secretary’s son on the commercial board. Inside the health department, operational power has passed from Kennedy’s original circle to the cost-control wing that Mehmet Oz built at Medicare. Chris Klomp, Oz’s former deputy, runs daily operations and is now nominated as the department’s second in command. Kennedy keeps the brand and his signature health fights. He has lost the machinery, and he sits most of the way to a figurehead.

His base has turned on him. Glyphosate, the food loophole, and the mRNA platform each ended with the movement’s demands unmet, because governing inside the MAGA coalition forced the compromises. That leaves a hard problem for a 2028 run he keeps denying. He cannot easily win back a base he alienated while serving, and every recovery path carries a cost. The anti-war lane is the most tempting and the most dangerous, because the version circulating in the movement rests on an unproven and antisemitic claim that a foreign lobby controls the president.

Two findings cut against the loudest stories. A recent claim that Elon Musk funded the movement is overstated. The documented figure is three million dollars to a pro-Trump PAC, not the six million alleged, and not seed capital for the health agenda. Winning may also miss the point. Under super PAC law a presidential campaign pays its operators whether or not it succeeds, and the MAHA apparatus is already a candidacy held in escrow. This is the view from inside Washington. The movement reads it differently, and the capital has misjudged Kennedy before.

Summaries below correspond with main headings in the article.

MAHA Inc.: The Machine, the Figurehead, and the Base

Tony Lyons and financier Mark Gorton built the entities, rebranding a prior super PAC into MAHA PAC and adding MAHA Action (advocacy/trademark), MAHA Institute (policy), MAHA Center (donations), and opaque MAHA Holdings (commercial, with Finn Kennedy on the board to drive industry adoption).

• Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK Jr.) earned prior licensing fees before transferring the trademark.

• Latypova’s Musk funding narrative is corrected to three million dollars for Trump-support ads, not core movement capital.

• Initially, Stefanie Spear and Matt Buckham controlled access and staffing.

• Later, Chris Klomp and the Mehmet Oz wing took operational dominance, with Kennedy keeping symbolic influence and wins such as mRNA contract cancellations.

The view from inside Washington.

Who actually runs the health department, and can the movement’s founder can win back the people he has lost?

Klomp and White House priorities now handle day-to-day operations, personnel, and policies. This leaves Kennedy with the platform and targeted actions but he’s close to figurehead status.

• Base discontent arose over glyphosate protections, pesticide and food loophole failures, and limited mRNA action, fueled by activist letters and ally criticisms.

• Potential recovery paths for RFK Jr. 2028 presidential run: Securing wins, blaming external captors (including risky anti-war narratives), exiting office, or using the machine. Each path carries trade-offs due to prior compromises.

• The apparatus may sustain itself financially regardless of electoral success under super PAC rules.

Unbekoming Essays

Angelman Syndrome (Vaccine Injury, not Bad Genes)

What Is Angelman Syndrome? An Essay on the Diagnostic Label That Rewrites Vaccine Injury as Chromosomal Fate. By Unbekoming (07/15/26)

Angelman Syndrome is yet another case of a collection of symptoms attributed to anything but vaccines. Treatments include expensive gene therapies that do not target root causes.

Explaining It to a Six-Year-Old

A house burns down. A fire marshal arrives, walks the property, and finds a broken window at the back. He announces that the broken window is why the house burned.

But something broke the window. And a man was seen at the front of the house earlier that day carrying a gas can. The fire marshal does not ask about either. He points at the window and closes his notebook.

That is what a cover story is. You point at one thing so no one looks at the other.

Now imagine the house is a child. The broken window is a spot on a chromosome. The gas can is a schedule of injections. The fire marshal is a doctor pointing at the chromosome.

That is what a diagnosis of Angelman syndrome is.

Angelman syndrome is a diagnostic label for children who develop normally at birth but later show severe developmental delay, seizures, absent speech, ataxia, microcephaly, and frequent laughter, with symptoms typically emerging between six and twelve months during routine vaccination periods. Mainstream medicine attributes the syndrome to a chromosomal mutation, but the more likely cause is vaccination injury; the genetic issue typically is “discovered” after post-vaccination symptoms emerge.

The article reviews Angelman Syndrome’s naming history, genetic explanations, clinical overlap with vaccine injury, timing issues, and de novo* chromosomal findings.

*De novo mutation: Genetic mutation that occurs for the first time in a family member.

The article is long with many details, which we won’t include here. However, key take home points include:

The Two Lists Are the Same List: Angelman features (delay 6–12 months, seizures 1–3 years, ataxia, microcephaly, absent speech, feeding issues) match Vaccine Injury Compensation Program compensable conditions (encephalopathy, seizures, ataxia) with similar timing of onset.

The Timing Problem: Conception-time chromosomal events should not delay symptoms to 6–12 months. Down syndrome is evident at birth whereas Angelman children have normal birth history with delays emerging later (coincident with vaccine schedules).

The Filter as Business Model: Genetic view supports high-revenue therapies (tens of billions potential) while shielding environmental inquiry. Industry funds gene-correction trials, not environmental ones; serves as a filter while exonerating injurers.

Birth Control (8 Devices) & Abortion

The Birth Control Files: Eight Devices, What They Promised, What They Delivered. Sixty years, eight devices, one pattern of corporate concealment. By Unbekoming (07/12/26)

Unbekoming examines eight contraceptive devices over sixty years, contrasting manufacturer marketing claims with prescribing information, internal documents, litigation records, and studies revealing risks such as clots, cancer, depression, bone loss, and device failures. Truth in marketing? No, not much truth at all.

How You Would Explain This to a Six-Year-Old

A woman’s body has a rhythm. Every month, her body prepares for a baby. If no baby comes, the rhythm starts over. This is how her body is made to work.

Some people make products that stop the rhythm. Pills. Rings. Shots. Rods that go under the skin. Small devices that sit inside her where a baby would grow.

Every product comes with a folded piece of paper. The paper says what can go wrong. Blood clots. Broken bones. Cancer. Sadness that will not lift. Not being able to have a baby later, even when she wants one. Sometimes, dying.

The companies that sell the products wrote the paper. They filed it with the government. They know what it says.

The women who take the products almost never see the paper. The doctor does not read it to them. The pharmacy does not open it. The paper stays folded inside the box.

For sixty years, that has been the arrangement.

There is another way to prevent a baby. A woman can learn to read her own body and know when she can get pregnant and when she cannot. It works nearly as well as any product on the list, and better than most.

Almost no doctor teaches this. No company sells it. No one profits from a woman who reads her own body.

That is the whole story.

Below is a summary of each main heading in the article.

The One That Was Withdrawn: Ortho Evra patch (Johnson & Johnson), approved 2001; weekly transdermal ethinyl estradiol and norelgestromin for convenience. Delivered ~60% higher estrogen levels than comparable pills, roughly doubling venous thromboembolism risk; led to deaths, thousands of suits, hundreds of millions in settlements. Discontinued 2014 due to litigation and sales, not full recall.

How You Would Explain This to a Six-Year-Old: See text above.

The Pill: Combined oral contraceptives suppress ovulation via synthetic estrogen/ progestin mimicking pregnancy; causes withdrawal bleeding, not true menses. Boxed warnings for clots, stroke, heart attack; unknown breast cancer causation per labels; higher antidepressant/suicide risks in studies (23% overall, 80% in teens); long-term low-dose data undetermined. Remains on market.

NuvaRing: Monthly vaginal ring (Merck) releases etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol; approved on 16-woman trial with omitted estrogen spikes. Higher clot risk (56-90% vs. pills); temperature-sensitive release untested in real conditions; internal memos deflected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) concerns; >230 FDA deaths reported; thousands of suits settled. Remains on market.

Depo-Provera: Injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate every 3 months (Pfizer); FDA rejected multiple times over animal tumors/diabetes; approved 1992 after changing test standards. Black-box for irreversible bone density loss (osteopenia 68%, osteoporosis 30% in young women); 2.4-fold meningioma risk; targets low-income/black women disproportionately. Remains on market.

Nexplanon: 3-year arm implant (Merck) releasing etonogestrel; migration to lungs/arteries possible, hard/impossible removal; no studies in <18s despite adolescent approval; less effective in obese; high discontinuation for bleeding (11%), headaches (25%), depression/emotional issues; continuous hormone until surgically removed. Remains on market.

The Copper IUD (Paragard): 380mg copper device (CooperSurgical) up to 10 years; no long-term animal carcinogenicity/genotoxicity studies since 1984. Releases ions toxic to sperm/embryos; risks include heavy bleeding, perforation, expulsion, pelvic inflammatory disease, copper toxicity symptoms (anxiety, fatigue); free radicals, mineral depletion. Remains on market.

The Hormonal IUD (Mirena, Skyla, etc.): Levonorgestrel-releasing (Bayer) up to 8 years; systemic absorption despite “local” claims (measurable blood levels). 40% higher breast cancer risk (JAMA); depression/suicide links; high adverse events (cysts, pain, acne, libido loss); underreporting shown by media effect; perforations led to settlements. Remains on market.

The Dalkon Shield: IUD (A.H. Robins, 1970s) with wicking multifilament string drawing bacteria; known pre-sale but unaddressed; false low pregnancy claims; caused septic abortions, deaths, PID; delayed warnings/removals; 14k+ US suits, bankruptcy; set concealment template. Off market due to bankruptcy.

The Method That Has No Manufacturer: Symptothermal fertility awareness (cervical fluid, temperature, position); 0.4% method failure in studies, comparable/ superior to many devices; no hormones/devices; effective but untaught in medical schools, unprescribed due to lack of profit. Resources:

Statins

The Second Opinion Guide to Statins. Guide No. 2 in the series. By Unbekoming (07/12/26). Download is for paid subscribers. But here’s what you’ll find.

Unbekoming wrote a detailed 30,000-word resource examining statin drugs such as Lipitor using primary sources such as package inserts, trials, patents, and records. He highlights limited life extension benefits, hidden mechanisms, and data access issues. He also provides a tear-out sheet (between Chapters 9 and 10), listing exactly what to bring to an appointment with a doctor who wants to put you on statins.

The chapters:

1. What Your Doctor Told You: Physicians’ standard recommendation for statins.

2. What You Were Not Told: Information the medical profession omitted regarding risks and evidence.

3. What the Drug Does to You, and What It Gives You in Return: How statin biochemistry inhibits cholesterol and coenzyme Q10 pathways. Minimal absolute benefits including less than one day added life expectancy per year post-heart attack and zero in primary prevention.

4. Heart Disease: What Actually Causes It: Primary drivers of cardiovascular disease, excluding cholesterol as a key factor.

5. What the Package Insert Actually Says: Analyzes five statin labels using Lipitor as reference; only Zocor and Pravachol approved for total mortality reduction.

6. The Injury Pattern: Side effects from cognitive issues such as Duane Graveline’s amnesia to immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.

7. The Manufacturers: Reviews Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca conduct, including Merck’s 1990 patents for statin plus coenzyme Q10.

8. Who Is Recommending This, and Why: Examines Cholesterol Treatment Trialists Collaboration, guidelines, and incentives, with unreleased raw trial data.

9. Questions to Ask: Fourteen questions for medical appointments.

10. Where You Are in the Decision: Four positions in the statin choice.

11. If You Decide to Proceed: Guidance to minimize risks if continuing use.

12. If You Decide to Stop: Practical steps for declining or discontinuing.

Appendices cover package comparisons, risk arithmetic, alternative protocols, directories, and reading.

COVID-19 — Military Operation, Doctors Complied

Did COVID Patient Zero Actually Exist? | Dr. James Miller | Ep 18. If you think you’ve heard it all about COVID and lockdowns, this episode will shock you. By Alix Mayer (07/08/26, video 01:10:20).

Summary (edited from show notes):

Former trauma surgeon and surgical ICU physician Dr. James Miller worked at the Washington state hospital that supposedly treated America’s first reported COVID-19 patient.

Turns out, the public narrative differed significantly from what Dr. Miller observed first-hand inside the facility, including:

• Empty ICU beds when media headlines claimed hospitals were overwhelmed.

• Hospital administrators pressuring physicians to “play ball” and adhere to official protocols rather than exercising clinical judgment.

• Gap between media coverage and on-the-ground reality. Hospital management colluding with media to amplify public fear.

• Harmful protocols.

Dr. Miller faced retaliation for refusing to remain silent and questioning leadership. He then opened a free clinic to treat patients who could not access care due to their vaccination status, noting differences in how vaccinated and unvaccinated patients were treated in hospital.

Dr. Miller explains how the COVID era exposed systemic issues in modern healthcare, including financial incentives, bureaucracy, ethical concerns, censorship, and institutional pressure. These experiences ultimately led him to leave his career in trauma surgery. Changes are needed to restore trust in medicine.

COVID-19 Shots — Citizen Petition Update

Update: an interim FDA response on the Citizen Petition to revoke Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines Biologics Licensing Approval (BLA). The FDA sends a non-response response, stating they need more [indefinite] time to think about this issue. By Sasha Latypova (07/15/26)

In December 2025, Sasha Latypova and Children’s Health Defense co-authored a Citizen Petition to the FDA asking that Pfizer’s and Moderna’s mRNA shots be found misbranded and their Biologics Licensing Approvals (BLA) revoked.

The petition generated over 104,000 individual comments submitted, with approximately 4,800 processed and posted on the docket, all in support. Typical FDA Citizen Petitions receive 0–50 comments. Signature aggregation tools are prohibited.

On June 8, 2026, Children’s Health Defense received a non-response response letter from the FDA stating it needs more time but providing no deadline. In a May 2026 conversation between Latypova and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., he predicted FDA would issue no substantive response and suggested suing the HHS.

“So sue me!” (our words).

Updates will follow if action occurs.

COVID Shots — Legislators are Vaccine Injured but Hiding It

What The US Senate Showed America About COVID-19 Vaccine Toxicity. COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won’t admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end. By A Midwestern Doctor (07/16/26)

Be sure to read the comments on this article. They are shocking, heartbreaking, factual, and eye opening.

A Midwestern Doctor (AMD) explains…

The US Congress (Senate and House) illnesses and sudden deaths offer a public dataset on the frequency and nature of COVID-19 shot injuries. Such harms have affected even those who promoted the shots, all while a broader culture of silence persists.

The Absence of Evidence is Not the Evidence of Absence

AMD observed many “moderate” reactions to COVID-19 shots in patients shortly after rollout, including reactions NOT reported in the trials. Patterns of more severe outcomes such as sudden deaths and accelerated dementia are consistent with a bell curve distribution of injury susceptibility.

• Widespread censorship prevented open discussion, with observations dismissed as anecdotal despite data such as spikes in disability.

• VAERS reports and safety signals from systems such as V-Safe were suppressed.

• Polls revealed 9–34% of recipients experienced side effects, 7–13% serious ones, with many knowing individuals severely injured or believed deceased from the vaccines.

• No comprehensive pre- and post-vaccination assessment dataset was created, allowing absence of acknowledged evidence to be used as proof of safety while injuries continued to surface.

High-Profile Injuries

High rates of significant injuries make it plausible that public officials also were affected, would cover them up, and not speak out — especially if they supported mandates or actively pushed the shots.

One early example includes the sudden death of US Representative Sean Casten’s vaccinated 17-year-old daughter Gwen in June 2022. Such a death in an adolescent was an extraordinarily rare event pre-vaccines. Her family promoted the shots. Following her death, Casten offered no details to address concerns.

Similar suspicious incidents and prolonged absences occurred in government leadership, often with apparent cover-ups. These events, including rare stroke types and ages, align with known vaccine complications and represent an approximately 8.3% rate of severe reactions, which are consistent with polling data.

Democrat Senators

Among roughly 48 Democratic Senators, several experienced severe health events post-vaccine rollout, including:

• Ben Ray Luján (age 49) suffered a cerebellar stroke in January 2022 requiring decompressive craniectomy shortly after promoting vaccines.

• John Fetterman (age 52) had a stroke in May 2022 soon after endorsing them, followed by syncope, severe depression requiring extended Walter Reed hospitalization, and ongoing cognitive issues.

• Chris Van Hollen had an unusual hemorrhagic stroke while speaking.

• Dianne Feinstein was hospitalized for shingles, developing rare complications including Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis causing neurological injury, partial facial paralysis, confusion, and wheelchair use; she continued serving despite disability until her death in September 2023.

Republican Senators

The following cases parallel vaccine injury patterns among strong vaccine advocates:

• Lindsey Graham died suddenly from a rare aortic dissection; AMD links this to observed post-vaccine cases involving vascular damage and blood clots.

• Mitch McConnell experienced rapid cognitive decline from 2023, with public freezing episodes, wheelchair use, and a recent cardiac event, mirroring patterns seen in elderly patients after vaccination often misattributed to other causes.

• Ben Sasse resigned and later received a stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Denial or Coverup?

Influential figures privately sought help for vaccine injuries but insisted on secrecy due to professional risks and peer pressure. Senators privately acknowledged adverse effects or attributed issues to long COVID (which overlaps with vaccine injury symptoms), but few have spoken publicly.

Representative Nancy Mace is a notable exception (see 05:11 video clip February 8, 2023). The culture discourages disclosure, especially among those who supported the shots.

The Culture of Silence

Vaccine-injured individuals in certain circles describe hiding their conditions due to stigma, akin to being “in the closet,” fearing social and career repercussions. Personal accounts highlight isolation, such as a marathoner friend concealing myocarditis and reduced physical capacity from AMD and other friends. This self-censorship prevents recognition of the issue’s scale.

Conclusion

Excerpts from A Midwestern Doctor’s Conclusion

… a profound loss of trust has occurred in medicine I never expected to see in my lifetime—surveys show in just a few years, trust in doctors and hospitals has declined from 71.5% to 40.1%, along with a significant loss of trust in the pharmaceutical industry, government health authorities and support for childhood vaccinations (e.g., almost half of the population no longer fully trusts the CDC vaccine schedule now).

As such, the industry appears to be scrambling to get as many of these lucrative products to market as they can (with minimal regards for their toxicity) while the goldmine is still there and in parallel, since the system has no way to address the increasing disability emerging in our society, we are now seeing a (previously unimaginable) widespread push beginning for medically assisted dying (which is particularly tragic as many of these “incurable cases” could easily be addressed with affordable solutions like DMSO).

Widespread belief in vaccines as safe and effective — sustained by propaganda — historically has overridden evidence of risks. However, issues with COVID-19 shots finally put a spotlight on the propaganda, eroding public trust in medicine, doctors, hospitals, and authorities.

Surveys show sharp declines in confidence and childhood vaccine support. AMD anticipates further shifts toward acknowledging harms, with some political momentum for recognition and compensation, hoping wider publicity will encourage injured legislators to break the silence and take action.

RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women — Houston, We Have a Problem!

As ICAN Warned, RSV Vaccine for Pregnant Women May Pose Risks. By ICAN Legal Update (07/15/26)

Three years ago ICAN raised concerns about Pfizer’s Abrysvo RSV vaccine for pregnant women asking Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) and FDA to delay approval until clinical trial safety signals were investigated further. ICAN’s concerns were ignored and the vaccine was approved anyway. Now, a new Pfizer-sponsored study indicates many of the problems ICAN warned about.

• ICAN’s May 2023 Letter to FDA Committee: Urged VRBPAC to delay Abrysvo approval until clinical trial safety signals were investigated further. The committee ignored the warning and the FDA approved the vaccine shortly after.

• Safety Concerns from Clinical Trials: ICAN highlighted serious adverse events in mothers including prolonged labor, premature delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, arrested labor, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and fetal distress.

• April 2026 Post-Marketing Study Findings: Pfizer-sponsored study found safety signals for pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders (including gestational hypertension), premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and preterm PROM after Abrysvo vaccination. Authors stated further epidemiological studies are needed to refine risk estimates. Hmmm, isn’t that pretty much what ICAN worried about in May 2023?

ICAN will continue raising alarms about vaccines for pregnancy and infancy and demand proper safety studies. Authorities must require robust safety data before approving vaccines for pregnant women and unborn children.

From Mike Rowe’s introduction…

Everybody knows George Washington. Very few know how badly he failed before he became the man whose name we still invoke 250 years later.

My next podcast guest is filmmaker Jon Erwin, who stopped by to talk about his new movie Young Washington. It’s not another history lesson. It’s the story of an ambitious 22-year-old who made some spectacular mistakes long before he became the indispensable man. Before long, we found ourselves talking about why failure is usually a better teacher than success and what it actually takes to become the sort of person other people are willing to follow. The best stories don't tell you what to think. They simply make you curious enough to want to know more. This one did exactly that for me.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, this conversation reminded me that the best way to appreciate our history isn't to memorize it—it's to get curious about it. Watch it and let me know what surprised you the most. I think you'll enjoy it.

Idaho & Beyond

Eagle, Idaho Public Hearing 07/14/26

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

It just came to our attention that the proposed Stor-It Self Storage project application is going to the Eagle City Council public hearing on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.

The Eagle City Council will make the final decision on the proposed Stor-It Self Storage project (NW corner of Beacon Light Rd and Hartley Rd).

This is our community’s final opportunity to voice our opposition to this massive industrial-scale development.

The 9.84-acre site is located at the northwest corner of North Hartley Road and West Beacon Light Road at 6814 West Beacon Light Road | map

Here are two critical actions you can take to protect our neighborhood:

1. Submit a Written Comment (Deadline: Monday, July 6) — deadline has passed.

2. Attend the City Council Meeting
   When: Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
   Where: Eagle City Hall (Council Chambers) | map
   Impact: Even if you choose not to speak, your attendance sends a powerful message.
   Please sign the attendance roster and note your opposition.
   If you wish to speak, you will have three (3) minutes.

Key Points You May Wish to Include:

Please write in your own words. You can use any of these talking points:

Incompatible Scale: A massive, fortress-like self-storage facility contradicts the residential, agricultural, and rural character of the Beacon Light corridor.

Wrong Location: This 10-acre site was envisioned as a vibrant, employment-generating village center under Eagle’s long-term planning, not a low-activity commercial storage site.

Dangerous Precedent: Because this property requires annexation and a discretionary Development Agreement, approving it sets a harmful precedent for future commercial sprawl along Beacon Light Road.

No Community Need: Multiple new storage facilities have recently been built or approved nearby (including Hwy 44 and Linder). There is no justification for putting one here.

Comprehensive Plan: If you have time to look over the comprehensive plan or the city code relating to development in that area, please do and make those talking points if you choose to speak at the Eagle City Council meeting.

Make It Personal: Please forward this email to other local neighbors and property owners. Every person in attendance matters.

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS [below]

Although the attached template for letter submissions is no longer an option (that deadline has passed) it does contain some good information so I kept the attachment.

Campaign Contributions

The Campaign Is the Product. Leadership PACs, scam PACs, and the architecture of legal grift. By Dr. Robert W. Malone (07/06/26)

Dr. Malone explains how U.S. campaign finance laws allow politicians to raise money for campaigns while using much of it for personal benefit through legal loopholes, especially leadership PACs. The campaign becomes a money-making product for politicians rather than just a path to winning elections.

• Campaign finance strictly tracks incoming donations but has weak rules on spending.

• Leadership PACs, separate from main campaign committees, are not bound by the “no personal use” rule and are used by Congress members for luxury travel, hotels, resorts, and dining.

• Less than half of leadership PAC money goes to other candidates or parties.

• Authorized campaigns have loopholes such as charging interest on personal loans to the campaign, paying family members high fees, and keeping “zombie” accounts active after leaving office.

• Trump’s Save America leadership PAC spent over $60 million on legal fees and other personal-related costs, funded by small donors.

• Democrats used a network of official committees and a large super PAC (Future Forward) that raised nearly $1 billion for Biden/Harris efforts.

• Both parties benefit from this system; politicians control the rules and have little incentive to change them.

• Overall, campaigns can serve as profitable businesses even without winning.

November 3, 2026 is coming sooner than you think…please do think…

Idaho Proposition 1 — Are you Pro-Life or Pro-Death?

Abortion Procedures: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trimesters (Four Procedures)

Op-Ed: Vote No On Prop 1… Again

Well, it’s all but official. Word is that pro-abortion activists found enough signatures to get their radical and deceptive “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” (Prop1) on the November ballot. I’ve never seen such a dishonest title. Abortion is not about freedom, it’s not about privacy, and it’s certainly not about reproduction. Abortion is the deliberate destruction of a unique and precious human life, which is why the Idaho GOP will always oppose this barbaric practice. — Dorothy Moon, Chairwoman, Idaho Republican Party

Idaho Republican Party (IDGOP) expects heavy out-of-state money to support this measure, which will be called Prop 1, just like the same-named Prop 1 Ranked Choice Voting measure in 2024. That measure was defeated resoundingly (69.62% against, 30.38% for); this 2026 pro-abortion measure deserves the same treatment at the ballot box in Idaho’s November election.

IDGOP will inform voters and work hard to get out the vote. Most Idahoans value all life. They should reject this radical minority proposal and outside pressure. Vote no on Prop 1 again.

Peter Kirby discusses his book “Chemtrails Exposed: the New Manhattan Project,” defining chemtrails and comparing the program to the original Manhattan Project.

Chemtrail Definition: Particulate dispersions from high-flying jets. Normal jet fuel produces only water vapor and minor soot, which should not form persistent lines spanning horizon to horizon that turn into cloud cover over hours. These trails are observed widely.

New Manhattan Project Analogy: The original Manhattan Project employed 125,000 people in the 1940s, compartmentalized so few knew its full scope of building nuclear bombs. Kirby states today’s chemtrails/geoengineering project is similar but much larger—10 times bigger in money spent, infrastructure scope, and people involved, potentially over a million.

• Many participants, including pilots and ground crews for radar stations or NOAA scientists, receive cover stories (e.g., “it’s just water vapor” or “saving from global warming”) and lack big-picture knowledge.

• Sprays are believed to be activated remotely.

• Scientists from the nuclear weapons program transitioned to weather modification and geoengineering.

Pesticides

Sign Petition to Undo SCOTUS Bad Pesticide Ruling

From Stand for Health Freedom email…

The US Supreme Court betrayed us all.

In a bad ruling, the Court took away our right to sue pesticide manufacturers who know their product is dangerous and don’t tell us.

Well, two farmer/congresspeople were at the ready and filed a bill to undo their bad ruling.

Click here to tell the U.S. House to pass the “People Over Poison” amendment to federal law.

TAKE ACTION

This is one of the most important bills we could ever support - our right to hold pesticide manufacturers accountable was taken away by SCOTUS but Congress can give it back! At every step of the way on this pesticide liability shield issue when people have made their voice heard, the U.S. Congress has listened. We blocked the liability shield from budgets, and the Farm Bill, and now we will override the Supreme Court of the United States, which is on the wrong side of history.

SCOTUS’ opinion isn’t the end of the line, the voice of the people is.

Standing with you,

Stand for Health Freedom

Technocracy, Surveillance & Money

Flock Cameras

💸 More than $400K of taxpayer dollars to spy on the townspeople?? Ron’s Weekly Wind-Up 7.8.26 (07/09/26, video 05:11 includes transcript). Ron Nate discusses a recent Caldwell City Council meeting where they divulged the budget for installing Flock surveillance cameras (more than $7K per camera, plus drones!). Also, nationwide stories illustrate how law enforcement is using these cameras for nefarious personal purposes; additionally, false-positives are assigning guilt to honorable people until they prove themselves innocent. Citizens are starting to stand against this widespread surveillance.

Islamic Finance

Islamic & Western Finance in Lockstep Towards AI Enforced Behavioral Control Systems. Host: Cornelia mRose (Flashlights Podcast). Guest: Patrick Wood (06/25/26, article + video 01:14:26 includes transcript)

“Maybe the elites of the world have a lot more in common than we think. And the people of the world have a poor cast of everything in the end — where they didn’t see it coming.” Patrick Wood

This is the second part of a three part interview with technocracy expert and researcher Patrick Wood about his latest, just released book The New Economics of Technocracy - You Will Own Nothing.

• Part 1: Genius Act, stablecoins (in particular the Trump family’s USD1 stablecoin) and the move from a debt based system to an asset based system. Too Many Notes Substack section on Technocracy and Money (06/14/26).

• Part 2: Asset based systems are financial systems compatible with principles of Islam.

Patrick Wood discusses technocracy and asset-based systems, focusing on Islamic finance’s $6 trillion scale, compatibility with tokenization and stablecoins like Trump’s USD1, Gulf investments in AI and U.S. infrastructure, and control mechanisms via digital IDs and smart contracts.

Islamic Finance and Unbanked Populations: 1.8 billion Muslims follow Sharia-compliant finance prohibiting riba (interest). High unbanked rates (e.g., Egypt 85%, Pakistan 87%) stem from religious rules favoring real assets over debt. Western debt systems failed to integrate Islamic world; however, asset-based tokenization aligns structurally with Sharia.

Alignment with Technocracy and Tokenization: Gulf monarchies fund and host technocratic infrastructure. Trump’s World Liberty Financial and USD1 stablecoin received investments from United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Sheikh Tahnoun (49% stake, $500M+). MGX (Abu Dhabi AI fund) invested $2B in Binance USD1. Pakistan adopted USD1 for payments, enabling digital wallets linked to biometrics and immutable blockchain records for control.

Traditional Islamic Instruments

• Murabaha: Cost-plus financing; financier buys asset, resells at fixed markup; buyer gains legal ownership.

• Ijarah: Leasing of assets; owner retains title, lessee pays for use.

• Sukuk: Islamic bonds representing ownership in real assets/services (not debt); market exceeded $1T in 2024; green sukuk reached $50B, aligning with ESG and sustainability.

These enable trade without interest and integrate with tokenization.

Gulf Money Pipeline and AI Deals: Trump’s May 2025 Gulf tour with tech leaders (Altman, Musk, etc.) secured $2T for U.S. AI data centers. UAE builds 5GW Stargate AI campus. Trump rescinded AI diffusion rules; Pax Silica Declaration enables full AI tech stack sharing*. Sheikh Tahnoun chairs multiple AI/sovereign funds, invests in OpenAI/xAI, and pushes UAE as AI superpower via computation exports and India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC / IMEEC).
* Refers to sharing layered collection of tools, frameworks, infrastructure, and platforms used to build and deploy AI systems

Board of Peace: Board of Peace is a new kind of organization outside traditional governmental or transnational structures. This is another topic requiring dedicated discussion.

Broader Context: Islamic finance serves Islamic evangelism. Sukuk and tokenization merge with Western financial technology (fintech). Elites align transnationally on trade (Abraham Accords, IMEC) despite differences, using three-lock control systems (smart contracts enforcing compliance). Tahnoun Nexus links AI, crypto, surveillance, and sovereign wealth. Discussion notes potential elite-people conflicts and religious/ financial jihad parallels.

COVID Clots & Clot Shots

Bhattacharya Told Tom Haviland in August 2025 That He is Aware of the White Fibrous Clots —Why Isn’t the NIH Funding Research into Them? “I’ve called Jay at his own home and I’ve got Jay’s home phone number. They know about the clots.” Host: Cornelia mRose (Flashlights Podcast). Guest: Tom Haviland (07/06/26, article + video 01:12:26, includes transcript)

Both Haviland and Pathologist Ryan Cole Talked to Bhattacharya About the White Fibrous Clots

Tom Haviland: “I’ve called Jay at his own home and I’ve got J Jay’s home phone number. They know about the clots.”

Cornelia: “So when you called Bhattacharya, did you actually talk to him?”

Tom: “Yeah, it was a Saturday night, so I didn’t want to keep Jay too long. It was back in August of last year. And I just wanted to let him know… In fact, it was shortly after I returned from the 2025 Tennessee Funeral Directors Association convention. Remember, I captured on video footage the eighteen of twenty-eight embalmers in that room raising their hands saying they were seeing the clots.

“I said, Jay, I just want to make sure you’re aware that that that’s what happened. You know, I got invited to speak to this convention because these embalmers and funeral directors are very concerned about this issue that they’re still seeing. And I just want to make sure you’re aware of it.”

“He says, I’m aware of it. And he also mentioned that he had talked to Dr. Ryan Cole, the pathologist. And Ryan of course had received very early on some of these sample cloths from Richard Hirschman. And Ryan had examined them and determined that they were amyloid or amyloid like at that time.

“So that was the extent of the conversation.”

About Tom Haviland (from his Substack): 36 years as an Engineer/Data Analyst in/with the US Air Force. Created 3 “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Surveys” to investigate unusual “white fibrous clots” in corpses and their link to the COVID vaccines.

Tom Haviland and Cornelia mRose discussed white fibrous clots seen by embalmers since 2021 in ~70% of embalmers and ~20% of corpses per annual surveys. He presented at the 2025 Tennessee Funeral Directors Association convention, where most embalmers confirmed seeing them.

Haviland called NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya in August 2025; Bhattacharya confirmed awareness and prior talk with pathologist Ryan Cole (who identified them as amyloid-like from samples). Surveys sent yearly to NIH/CDC/FDA; no NIH research funding despite $47B+ budget.

• Embalmers report white fibrous clots in high percentages of bodies post-2021 vaccine rollout; consistent across 4 years of surveys (66-83% embalmers affected, 19-27% corpses).

• 2025 Tennessee convention: ~73% of surveyed embalmers saw clots in ~18% corpses; students and attendees confirmed observations.

• Haviland informed Bhattacharya directly; Bhattacharya aware via Haviland and Ryan Cole.

• No NIH grants or studies on clots’ cause, composition, or treatment.

Too Big to Fail

How Medicine Became “Too Big to Fail”. Dissecting the Anatomy of Corruption that Took Over the Federal Health Agencies and Our Economy. By A Midwestern Doctor (07/04/26)

Too Big to Fail

The phrase “too big to fail” originally described banks so large and so entangled with the rest of the economy that governments felt they had no choice but to bail them out rather than let them collapse and take everything down with them. Medicine now sits in a similar position: so much wealth, so many careers, and so large a share of the market are tied to the existing system that almost no one with the power to change it can afford to, and so, rather than fix the corruption, everyone involved has every incentive to keep it running. — A Midwestern Doctor

A Midwestern Doctor (AMD) explains how high costs of large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and regulatory capture made medicine “too big to fail.” Pharma influence corrupted FDA, NIH, CDC via funding, revolving doors, foundations, and pre-planned vaccine policies, prioritizing profits over public health.

Story at a Glance

• Large RCTs cost tens of millions, turning approval into pay-to-play.

• Agencies are captured by industry fees and revolving doors.

• NIH uses grants and royalties for compliance.

• Foundations enable indirect bribery.

• Gates merged influence via NIH foundation.

• COVID response built around vaccines.

How They Rig Clinical Trials and The Price We All Pay For It: High stakes lead to manipulated trials supported by establishment; unsafe, low-benefit drugs enter market and are defended; pattern seen in SSRIs and COVID vaccines despite poor evidence, injuries, and whistleblowers.

Too Big to Fail: Medicine is entangled in economy like banks; FDA is funded 51% by industry fees, with commissioners then moving on to pharma; scientists face retaliation for challenges; NIH uses grants and billions in royalties to enforce compliance.

The CDC Foundation: Enables indirect industry funding bypassing rules; receives nearly $1B from pharma, Coke, etc.; shapes guidelines and policies; internal complaints of corruption ignored.

The Foundation That Shaped COVID-19: Foundation for NIH allowed Gates’ donations to steer research toward vaccines; includes merged operations, joint programs; Gates profited from investments in vaccine makers.

Unbekoming Essays

Tribute to Reporter Jon Rappoport

Unbekoming says we all owe Jon Rapport a huge debt. He is right! Unbekoming wrote…

He was not a doctor. He was not a virologist. He was a reporter who could read a paper and notice what was missing, and who never stopped doing it. That is the profession he inhabited and the profession he leaves behind.

I did not know him. I republished his work because I trusted it. I trusted it because he had done the work — thirty-five years of it, one paper at a time, one cover story at a time. AIDS, Ebola, cancer, virology itself, the vaccine schedule, the psychiatric labelling apparatus, the whole ceremony of medical enslavement. He named it all and refused to unname any of it.

Those of us who continue this work continue it downstream of him. Every essay I have written on virology and Ebola stands on ground he cleared first. That debt cannot be repaid. It can only be carried forward.

The rest of us have work to do.

Jon Rappoport, Reporter. A Debt to a Life Spent Naming the Cover Stories. By Unbekoming (07/11/26)

For the past 35 years, I’ve been exposing fake diseases and fake disease labels. AIDS, autism, Alzheimer’s, COVID, all 300 psychiatric mental disorders. And more. Fake, fake, fake. And now: CANCER.

— Jon Rappoport wrote that in August 2025. He died on July 8, 2026.

Unbekoming pays tribute to the life of Jon Rappoport, a man many never heard of, but whose research and writing exposed the truth about AIDS, Ebola, Virology, Cancer, the Needle, and more.

Jon Rappoport was a reporter who spent 35 years exposing fake disease labels, identifying toxins as causes, and naming industry beneficiaries. He read papers, and noticed omissions. In doing so, he exposed AIDS, Ebola, cancer, virology, vaccines, and psychiatric labels. His work stands as foundation for many who must carry on without him.

On June 15, 2026, he recorded a final message knowing he was dying. He shunned the ER due to risks of mistakes, preferring to be home with family on his own terms. His last words were: “This is your friend with love, Jon Rappoport, signing off.” He died on July 8, 2026.

What Rappoport uncovered…

AIDS, 1988: Published AIDS Inc. challenging the “HIV-causes-AIDS narrative.” HIV was never isolated, purified, or shown to cause illness in controlled experiments. Instead, AIDS bundled unrelated conditions from drug use, starvation, nitrites, and toxic treatments like AZT, which killed users while refusers survived. Learn more about HIV myth.

Ebola: Cover for industrial poisoning in West Africa. Firestone rubber plantation contaminated water and soil. Banned pesticides (carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, etc.) caused bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, coma. Beta-lactam antibiotics prolonged bleeding. Overworked doctors who collapsed after heat and chlorine exposure were labeled Ebola cases. No purified Ebola virus isolated per CDC and other agency FOIAs. Military and vaccination campaigns involved (this is happening again!). Our Ebola summary | CDC reports Ebola outbreak July 2026

Virology: No virus has been isolated classically. Lab “isolation” mixes patient fluid with monkey kidney cells, antibiotics, fetal serum. The process starves cells to death, then attributes death to unpurified virus. Sequencing aligns fragments to an assumed template, and infers the rest. Applies to SARS-CoV-2, HIV, measles, etc.

Cancer and the Needle:

• Cancer: Not a disease but the body’s response to toxic assault; tumors wall off poison, mitochondria switch to defective energy pathway. Label induces fear, pulls people into the system. (More on Cancer below.)

• Vaccination: Rappoport said: “Vaccination is a war crime.” Forty CDC schedule vaccines exist, but no vax/unvax comparative studies, no long-term safety.

  Rappoport had waited forty years for a vax/unvax study, which finally came out in 2025 after Henry Ford Health System and Wayne State University tracked 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016.

  • Results: Among the vaccinated, 43% were chronic-disease-free; among the unvaccinated, 83% were chronic-disease-free. Vaccinated have higher rates of asthma, autoimmune, and neurodevelopmental issues.

Anemia

What Is Anemia? An Essay on the Measurement That Became a Disease. By Unbekoming (07/03/26)

Anemia is low hemoglobin or low red blood cells as measured by blood tests. It leads to fatigue, pallor, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. Many types of anemia are diagnosed. Iron supplementation is standard treatment but does not cure anemia; in fact, iron supplementation can cause harm.

Explain It To A 6 Year Old

Your blood has tiny boats that carry oxygen all around your body to keep you running and playing. Your body builds the boats using iron, but it also needs helpers that come from real food. Good food like liver, eggs, meat, fish, and oysters has the iron and all the helpers packed together the way your body knows how to use.

If a doctor ever tells someone in your family that they have “low iron,” that usually does not mean they need a special iron pill. The pills mostly do not fix the problem. They can make people feel sicker. They can hurt small children very badly if they take them by accident.

What is really happening is that the body is missing the right food, or being hurt by medicines or chemicals or the shots the doctors give, or being clever and hiding the iron away because something else needs fixing first. The body is not making a mistake. The body is sending a message.

The way to help is to eat real food (especially liver, eggs, meat, fish, and shellfish), get sunshine, drink clean water, move around, and keep bad chemicals away from the body when you can. Your body knows what to do with the right things. It just needs them.

• Iron carries oxygen in hemoglobin in red blood cells made in bone marrow.

• Body assimilates iron best from food with cofactors including copper (for ceruloplasmin to transport iron), magnesium, retinol.

• Inorganic iron pills and fortified foods often lead to tissue accumulation of iron, oxidative damage, not correction; cause constipation, nausea, poisoning deaths in children.

• Low iron readings can signal copper depletion, inflammation (body sequesters iron protectively), bleeding, malabsorption from drugs/gut damage, toxins, electromagnetic fields (EMF), stress.

• Ferritin rises in inflammation as an acute-phase reactant; does not always indicate true iron overload.

• Food fortification with elemental iron and folic acid since 1940s replaced natural matrix stripped by milling; soil copper depleted.

• Pernicious anemia: Cobalamin (B12) lacking. Synthetic cyanocobalamin injections used, but real-food liver is better; can be caused by drugs such as protein pump inhibitors (PPIs), metformin.

• Hemolytic anemia: Red cell destruction; often caused by drugs, toxins such as lead, and copper issues; not the body attacking itself.

• Aplastic anemia: Bone marrow failure from benzene, radiation, chemotherapy, antibiotics, pesticides, injections.

• Injections (aluminum, antigens) linked to blood cell destruction and anemia via inflammation and hepcidin.

• Sickle cell/thalassemia: Genetic variants; severity depends on terrain (oxidative stress, dehydration); not fixed destiny.

• Traditional diets with organ meats, blood, oysters, eggs provided full matrix; no anemia epidemic then.

• Chlorosis (old anemia-like condition) disappeared with better living conditions, not iron pills.

Cancer

What Is Cancer? An Essay on the Warburg Shift, the Cytoplasm, and the Particle in the Vial. By Unbekoming (07/07/26).

Cancer is the body’s containment response to unresolved tissue injury from modernity, particularly injected metallic particles via vaccines. The particles collapse cellular charge and water structure, forcing a metabolic shift to fermentation. Unbekoming explains what causes cancer, why most treatments fail, and some ways to treat cancer.

Explain it to a Six Year Old

Sometimes people get very sick. There is a kind of sickness where a lump grows inside the body. Doctors call it cancer.

Why does the body grow the lump?

Because somewhere inside, a small piece of the body got hurt and could not get better. The blood stopped flowing to that spot. The tiny parts of the cell that make energy stopped working right. The piece of body could not do its normal job anymore.

The body did not want the hurt spot to spread. So it built a wall around it. The wall keeps the hurt spot away from the healthy parts. The lump is the wall.

What hurt the piece of body?

Something got inside that should not have been there. Usually it came from a shot. The shots are supposed to only have medicine in them. But some scientists looked at the shots with a very strong microscope, and they found tiny pieces of metal in the liquid. The pieces are too small for your eyes to see. But they are in there.

Once the metal is inside the body, the body cannot get it out. Your body knows how to clean up many things. It does not know how to clean up metal. So the metal stays. It sits somewhere inside. Around where it sits, the body starts to hurt.

That is where the wall gets built.

Some people who never had any shots at all were counted, all across the country. Almost none of them had cancer. And chimpanzees, which are almost the same as people, do not get breast cancer either. They do not get the shots.

When the doctors find the lump, they usually cut it out. But cutting the lump out does not take out the metal. The metal is still there. So the body has to build another wall somewhere else. The doctors call this the cancer coming back.

If the metal had never gone in, the body would never have needed to build the wall at all.

That is what the essay is about.

Eczema

What Is Eczema? An Essay on the Manufactured Epidemic, the Injected Burden, and the Body That Erupts to Survive It. By Unbekoming (07/02/26)

Eczema is a skin eruption that has become common in modern infants and is often lifelong. Ancient morphology such as vesicles, weeping, and scaling has existed for centuries but the epidemic form with food allergies and asthma progression is recent.

• 1901 dermatology textbook analyzed 8000 eczema cases with no food allergy section or atopic march mentions.

• Modern eczema arrives in infancy as lifelong management issue, unlike historical cases.

• 2004 UK study of 29,238 children found DTP vaccinated kids 9.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with eczema than unvaccinated; MMR 4.6 times; signal strongest in low doctor-visit subgroup, disproving bias claim.

• US studies showed similar higher asthma, hay fever, and eczema in vaccinated vs unvaccinated children.

• 2022 CDC-linked study of 32,6991 children linked cumulative vaccine aluminum before 24 months to higher persistent asthma; stronger effect in eczema subgroup with dose-response.

• Natural measles or varicella illness in children with eczema led to skin clearing and lower rates of atopic conditions vs vaccinated peers.

• Skin acts as major eliminative organ; eruptions unload toxic burden when internal clearance overwhelmed.

• Injected aluminum bypasses barriers, persists in tissues via macrophages; low repeated doses are more systemic than high doses due to less granuloma trapping.

• Foreign proteins from vaccines cause sensitization per Richet’s anaphylaxis mechanism, leading to atopic march*.
  * Atopic march is the typical progression of allergic diseases: starting with atopic dermatitis (eczema) in infancy, followed by food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and asthma.

• Historical contraindication for smallpox vaccine in eczema cases due to risk of severe reaction.

• Topical steroids suppress eruption by constricting blood flow; but they cause rebound, dependence, and withdrawal syndrome when stopped.

Explain it to a Six Year Old

Your skin is the biggest door your body has for letting yucky stuff out. When too much yucky stuff is inside, the skin opens the door wide and you get a red, itchy patch. That patch is the door doing its job.

A long time ago, kids did not get this kind of patch very often. Their bodies did not have so much yucky stuff to push out. Then doctors started giving lots of shots to babies. The shots put things in deep inside that the body did not know how to clean up, like a metal called aluminum. The body started using the skin door to push the metal back out. That is when the patches started showing up more.

There is a cream that shuts the door fast so the patch goes away. It feels better right away. But the yucky stuff is still inside, and now it is stuck, because the door is closed. So the body opens a different door. The nose. The tummy. The lungs. Each door gets a new medicine to close it. None of the medicines clean up what is inside. They just keep closing doors.

If you stop the cream, the door flies open and lets out a lot at once. That feels really bad for a while, because so much was waiting. It is not the sickness coming back. It is the body finally finishing its cleaning.

The way to help is to stop putting yucky stuff in to begin with, and to let the doors do their job.

Eugenics Origins

Interview with Mark Halliday Sutherland. Old wine, new bottles: on Marie Stopes, Malthus, and why ‘we must act now’ keeps coming back. By Unbekoming (07/07/26)

Mark Halliday Sutherland is grandson of Dr. Halliday Sutherland who won a 1920s libel trial against Marie Stopes. The grandson researched and wrote “Exterminating Poverty” to correct simplified histories of eugenics and birth control movements. He traces persistent ideas from Malthus through Stopes and others, showing recurring themes of population control, top-down governance, and rebranded advocacy.

Key topics and questions asked during the interview
(from Contents; we didn’t alter the Australian spelling of some words)

1. You’re an author, researcher, facilitator and coach based in Sydney — but a lot of your work centres on a libel trial in 1920s London involving your own grandfather. How did you end up here, and what was the journey that led you into this material?

2. You’ve said you grew up believing a false story about your own grandfather — the “Catholics against contraceptives” version. When did you first realise the accepted history was wrong, and what was that moment like?

3. For readers who’ve never heard of the Stopes v. Sutherland libel trial, what was actually at stake in that courtroom — beyond the surface dispute about contraceptives?

4. Marie Stopes appears on postage stamps and was voted one of the “Greatest Britons.” You argue this celebration rests on a serious omission. What’s the part of her story that consistently gets left out?

5. Why do you think authors and researchers leave it out?

6. Thomas Malthus has been dead for nearly two centuries, yet you call him the prototype for a way of thinking that’s still with us. What did he actually argue, and why did your grandfather call it “a quack remedy for poverty”?

7. H.G. Wells wrote in 1901 about “the faith to kill” and a future state that would euthanise the “feeble, ugly, inefficient.” How did a celebrated novelist — and someone widely seen as a progressive thinker — arrive at that?

8. You’ve traced how organisations repeatedly rename themselves to soften their image — the Eugenics Society becoming the Galton Institute and then the Adelphi Genetics Forum, the Voluntary Euthanasia Society becoming Dignity in Dying. What does that pattern tell us, and why does it work?

9. You’ve highlighted a 1960 decision by the Eugenics Society to pursue its aims through what it called “crypto-eugenics.” That’s a striking phrase. What did they mean by it, and where do you see that approach still operating?

10. Across roughly a century of figures — Galton, Stopes, Wells, Shaw, Sanger, Ehrlich, Holdren — you argue the same three solutions keep reappearing: more top-down control, restricting births, and increasing deaths. Why do you think that particular combination is so persistent?

11. You’ve drawn a direct line between earlier euthanasia advocacy and Canada’s MAID programme today. What specifically are you seeing in MAID that connects it to that older tradition?

12. Paul Ehrlich wrote about adding sterilants to the water supply. Margaret Sanger proposed corralling millions of people onto government farms. These sound almost cartoonishly extreme today — yet they came from mainstream, celebrated figures. How should a reader make sense of that?

13. You’ve placed climate change advocacy in the same lineage as Malthusianism and Ehrlich’s Population Bomb. What are the tells that make you see it as a continuation of an older pattern rather than something genuinely new?

14. You write that “many current events are noise that distract us from reading the signal,” and that history helps separate the two. For a reader who wants to start spotting the pattern themselves, what are the practical tells — the things to watch for when someone says “we have to act now”?

15. Your grandfather predicted in 1929 that “the cataclysm which may end the eighth known epoch in civilisation may be a lack of European children.” Nearly a century later, fertility rates are collapsing across the developed world. What do you think he’d want people to take from that?

16. What are you working on now, and where can readers follow your work and stay in touch with what comes next? Substack: https://hallidaysutherland.com/Osteoporosis

The Myth of Osteoporosis (2003). By Gill Sanson - 30 Q&As - Book Review and Summary. By Unbekoming (07/02/26).

In 1994, a World Health Organization committee funded by three drug companies changed the definition of osteoporosis from rare cases of brittle bones that broke under minor impact in the elderly to low bone mineral density (BMD) when compared to the skeleton of a twenty-year-old. This change instantly qualified half of all postmenopausal women for the diagnosis. A Swedish analysis showed 22% of women over fifty would be classified with osteoporosis and 52% with low bone density.

Nothing changed in the women’s bones; the thresholds simply were moved to create an epidemic to fit drugs developed to treat the “condition.”

Gill Sanson’s 2003 book titled The Myth of Osteoporosis documents this process. The book is based on her own family’s experience with osteoporosis diagnosis across generations, including her sixteen-year-old daughter told she had the bones of an eighty-year-old, plus years of reviewing medical research in standard scientific terms.

The book came out after the 2002 halt of a large hormone replacement therapy (HRT) trial that showed increased risks of strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and breast cancer. Drug companies then rushed in with bone drugs as replacements for HRT.

The book highlights problems such as the changed definition, errors in bone density scanners that can alter diagnoses, fourteen government reviews rejecting widespread screening, poor treatment success rates for the drugs, how the drugs suppress the bone repair process, and issues with the calcium bone-building model. In one example, sodium fluoride increased spinal bone density by 32% but tripled hip fracture rates; density scanners cannot see the quality difference.

12-points

1. The redefinition made the epidemic.

2. The measurement device was built by the industry that profits from the diagnosis.

3. Bone density is not bone strength.

4. Independent review agencies worldwide agree the screening does not work.

5. Most hip fractures are from falls, not bone failures.

6. HRT was oversold for two decades.

7. Bisphosphonates suppress the very repair process bones require.

8. The numbers needed to treat expose the marketing.

9. The countries that consume the most dairy have the most osteoporosis.

10. Exercise is the single most effective bone-strengthening strategy.

11. Fall prevention outperforms drug treatment.

12. The evidence points home to lifestyle, not pharmacy.

Vaccines

Childhood Schedule Works — FOR the System, AGAINST Children & Families

The Machine. An Essay on the American Vaccine Program from License to Prosecution. By Unbekoming (07/03/26)

The Machine describes the U.S. childhood vaccine program’s structure, from licensing to injury adjudication, shielding manufacturers while burdening parents and taxpayers.

1. The License: FDA approves vaccines via short trials (days) without saline placebo controls, as confirmed in Aaron Siri’s Plotkin deposition (transcript | video 9 hours); no long-term safety data vs. inert controls.

2. The Mandate: States require CDC/ACIP-recommended vaccines for school; federal government buys half via VFC program, creating guaranteed demand.

3. The Shield: 1986 Act and Bruesewitz ruling grant manufacturers liability immunity for design defects; HHS holds patents and royalties.

4. The Monitor Becomes the Promoter: CDC runs VAERS (which under-reports harms) and promotes vaccines; injury table has been narrowed over time.

5. The Court and the Blame: Vaccine Court (Special Masters) adjudicates claims with limited process; when compensation denied, parents may face prosecution.

For a Six-Year-Old

There is a big company that makes shots.

The government helps the company make the shots and sell them. The government tells your school that you have to get the shots before you can come to school.

Nobody checks the shots very well. The people who are supposed to check work with the company. So the shots go out into the world before anyone really knows if they are safe.

When a child is hurt by a shot, the family cannot go to a normal judge. There is a special room where a different kind of judge decides. That judge is paid by the government. The lawyers on the other side are paid by the government. The government made the shot rules. The government bought the shots. And the government decides whether the shot hurt you.

Most families are told the shot did not hurt their child, even when it did.

When a shot makes a baby die, the doctors sometimes think the mother or father shook the baby. The parents can be arrested. They can go to prison. For what the shot did.

The company that made the shot never gets in trouble. The company keeps making the shots. Your school keeps requiring them. The next family goes through the same door.

That is the machine.

Primary Cause

The Primary Cause. An Essay on One Impost, Three Shadows. By Unbekoming (07/05/26).

Unbekoming presents vaccination as the dominant cause of chronic disease in the vaccinated population. The metals in vaccines are a likely culprit because they persist in the body and cause harm. (The body cannot break down these metals and cannot simply expel them.)

Fully unvaccinated adults (no vaccines, no Vitamin K, no maternal exposure) have 2.64% chronic disease rate, whereas vaccinated reach 60%. Other factors — chemicals, EMF, stress — have limited effect in an unvaccinated body, which can handle most insults. By contrast, vaccination creates 20x+ gap via un-cleansable injection load.

Explain It To A 6 Year Old

Grown-ups feel bad a lot. Not the kind of sick where you stay in bed for a few days and then feel better. The kind that lasts and lasts. Sore joints. Sad tummies. A tired heart. Feeling wobbly all the time. Sixty grown-ups out of every hundred have at least one of these.

Some people wanted to know why.

They looked for grown-ups who had never had any of the shots doctors give when you’re a baby. Not a single shot. They found lots and lots of them, all over the country. Then they asked those grown-ups: “How many of you have the kind of sick that lasts and lasts?”

Fewer than three out of every hundred said yes.

Sixty on one side. Three on the other. That is a really big difference.

Then some other people used a very strong microscope to look inside the little bottles the shots come from. They found tiny bits of metal in there. Lead, and other kinds of metal too. No one had told anyone the metal was in there.

Once metal goes into your arm, your body cannot get it back out. It stays. Sometimes it goes to other places in your body. It stays there too. The body tries and tries to clean it up. It can’t. So the trying keeps happening. For a long, long time. Sometimes forever.

That is what makes people feel the kind of bad that lasts and lasts.

There is a shot for cats. Someone checked it too. The cat shot is clean. There is no metal in it.

The shots for children are not clean.

That’s what the essay is about.

Wrong Questions Lead to Wrong Answers

The Wrong Question. How modern medicine places the question in the patient’s hand, then sells her the answer. By Unbekoming (07/01/26)

How to Explain It to a 6-Year-Old

A doctor took a picture of a lady’s heart. He drew a circle around one part of the picture. He said, “This part of the picture is the problem. We can fix the picture.”

The lady felt fine. But now there was a circle on the picture, and she wanted to know how to make the circle go away.

The doctor said: we can cut the part inside the circle, or we can put a little thing inside it, or we can change how it looks. Then the circle will look different on the next picture.

She asked: will I feel better afterwards?

The doctor didn’t really answer that. He answered a different question. He answered: we can change the picture.

But the picture was not the lady. The picture was just a picture of one part of her. The lady was the lady. She was already fine.

The right question wasn’t: how do we change the picture?

The right question was: how do I keep being fine?

If a doctor ever shows you a picture and draws a circle on it, remember: the circle is on the picture. It is not on you.

A woman with no symptoms learned she had mitral valve prolapse. She asked how to fix it. Thomas Cowan said surgery would kill her quickly because the question was wrong. Modern medicine creates findings through tests, labels them as diseases, and offers fixes that match the labels but often harm patients without symptoms.

Mitral valve prolapse example: Woman in her sixties had no shortness of breath, cough, pain, or heart failure signs, ate well, moved daily, slept well. Doctor found mitral valve prolapse* via echocardiogram. Asymptomatic mitral valve prolapse shows survival similar to general population.
* Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common heart condition where the mitral valve leaflets between the left heart chambers are floppy and bulge backward (prolapse) into the left atrium during contraction.

DEXA scan example: T-score -2.7 labels osteoporosis at -2.5 threshold set in 1994 by WHO for statistics, not biology. Bisphosphonates used to treat osteoporosis increase bone density but cause atypical femoral fractures and jaw osteonecrosis after years of use.

Coronary narrowing example: 70% stenosis leads to stent; COURAGE, ORBITA, ISCHEMIA trials show no reduction in death, heart attacks, or better exercise time vs. medical therapy or sham.

Process: Sensitive screens produce findings, labels turn numbers into diseases, fixes such as drugs/stents/surgery exist first and drive the system. Fixes perform as designed on the finding but do not improve patient outcomes or address real health.

Wrong question: Asking “How do I fix this finding?” assumes finding is disease, body erred, and needs repair. Medicine places question via screening tests like echocardiogram, DEXA scan, angiogram on asymptomatic people.

Pertussis & Measles

ICAN Obtains Records Showing Large Numbers of Pertussis and Measles Cases Among the Vaccinated (07/07/26)

ICAN obtained 2025 records showing large numbers of pertussis cases in West Virginia and measles cases in New York among vaccinated individuals.

• 71% of 2025 West Virginia pertussis cases were in individuals up-to-date on vaccines; 68% over past 7 years.

• 33% of New York measles cases had at least one MMR dose; 28% unknown vaccination status.

Nope, folks, pertussis (whooping cough) and measles are not epidemics of the unvaccinated!

Polio

All Vaccines Can Cause Polio. Excerpts from “The Poisoned Needle” By Eleanor McBean, 1957. By Sasha Latypova (07/08/26)

When confronted with facts about vaccine harms, pro-vaccination fanatics immediately invoke the sacred cow: “but polio!” and claim that this dangerous epidemic virus was eradicated by lifesaving vaccines.

This claim is categorically not true. Vaccines (all vaccines) cause full or partial paralysis and a host of other dangerous and disabling symptoms which, prior to the polio- and cancer-causing Salk/Sabin vaccines were diagnosed as “polio”.

After the polio vaccines have been rolled out globally, these harms multiplied in close correlation with the vaccine push. However, physicians are not allowed to diagnose these effects as “polio” and now are required to use a new made-up diagnostic vocabulary and new “syndromes” designed to fracture and obfuscate the safety reporting. — Sasha Latypova

Did you know? The polio death rate was decreasing on its own before the vaccine was introduced!

Latypova explains that vaccines cause paralysis previously diagnosed as polio, with cases rising after polio vaccine rollout as diagnoses shifted to new syndromes. She supports her explanation with historical excerpts from Eleanor McBean’s 1957 book showing paralysis following various inoculations.

• All Vaccines Can Cause Polio: Vaccines cause full or partial paralysis and disabling symptoms once called polio; following polio vaccines, harms increased but were reclassified under new names such as acute flaccid paralysis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and aseptic meningitis to obscure reporting.

• Excerpts from “The Poisoned Needle” By Eleanor McBean, 1957: Details cases of paralysis from rabies, typhoid, diphtheria, whooping cough, smallpox, and other vaccines, with statistics linking injections to limb-specific paralysis shortly after administration and official investigations confirming associations.

• Polio from Vaccination in Other Countries: Reports from England, Australia, Germany, Holland, and elsewhere document post-vaccinal encephalitis and meningitis outbreaks following smallpox and other vaccinations, leading some countries to modify or halt compulsory programs.

We greatly enjoyed this interview. You might too! From Mike Rowe’s introduction on X…

Today I learned about Spontaneous Order, the mind-bending idea that society’s most incredible innovations emerge naturally through voluntary cooperation rather than through a centralized master plan.

I learned about this phenomenon from my guest, Connor Boyack, who thinks a lot about such things, and had the good sense to cast me in an episode of The Tuttle Twins, the ridiculously popular series of books he dreamed up one day, that has since turned into a ridiculously popular animated series.

In this particular episode, Connor allowed me to sing a song about the perils of college debt, which I did to the best of my ability. I’ve wanted to thank him for that opportunity ever since, and congratulate him on launching one of the most consequential animated series of all time, along with a think tank called “Libertas,” which is kind of fantastic. I finally got the chance to do so, in the midst of this utterly enjoyable conversation, which you can experience here.

AI Invasion

Noise, Heat, Depleted Water Reserves — How to Protect Your Town From Unwanted AI Data Centers. The drive to build AI data centers and related infrastructure is moving quickly. By updating ordinances in advance and diligently collecting information about any data center proposals that are made, local officials and citizens can protect the best interests of their communities. By The Conversation (06/15/26)

Towns face fast AI data center growth. These centers:

• Use lots of power and water.

• Create noise from cooling systems and generators.

• Raise local temperatures by about 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Cause air pollution from diesel backups.

Communities gain some tax money and short-term jobs but risk higher utility bills and other impacts.

The article explains how learning about the specifics of a particular data center proposal can help a community to understand the potential impacts and prepare a response, including zoning rules to control where centers go and require studies.

Key points

• Data centers house large computer systems and need high energy and water.

• Benefits include more property tax revenue and construction jobs, but only 15-30 long-term jobs typically result.

• Concerns: Noise pollution, heat islands, water depletion, higher utility rates, air emissions worsening asthma.

• Backlash: Pennsylvania towns (e.g., Archbald) see proposals covering large areas and face backlash.

• Tools:

  • Amend zoning to limit data centers to industrial or commercial zones, set as conditional use.

  • Require setbacks of 50-400 feet, noise studies, environmental assessments, traffic plans.

  • Ask about power/water sources, noise mitigation, site design, pollution, infrastructure.

  • Update ordinances ahead of time and negotiate community benefits for protection.

• Questions to consider:

  • Power and water demand, and the source of those resources

  • Infrastructure needs

  • Utility rate impacts

  • Cooling system design and noise and resource consumption impacts

  • Site design and landscape impact

  • Job creation and tax revenue projections

  • Noise mitigation strategies

  • Traffic effects

  • Air and water pollution emissions

Personal Freedom — Use it or Lose It

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov and the Loss of Personal Freedom, Which is Destroying Western Civilization. By Dr. Robert W. Malone (06/17/26, article + video 28:12)

Pavel Durov spoke at the 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum. He compared modern Europe to the Titanic after hitting an iceberg and explained that people do not see their personal freedoms sinking slowly. Governments continue to increase censorship and control over online speech, step by step. Durov shared his experiences with pressure from Russia, the EU, and France. He warned that rights disappear gradually. And then they are gone.

• Event: 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum, June 1-3 in Oslo, theme “Dismantling Dictatorship.”

• Speech title: “Communication Technology and the Struggle for Freedom.”

• Main analogy: Titanic passengers stayed calm as ship sank slowly; Europeans ignore loss of freedoms.

• Key message: Censorship and state control advance incrementally, justified as temporary or necessary. Examples:

  • UK under Keir Starmer arrests people for social media posts; thousands investigated yearly.

  • Fines, police visits, prosecution, or jail in Europe for unpopular online opinions.

  • Germany: Legal penalties for speech officials call politically unacceptable.

• Durov’s background: Faced government pressure, fraud, political corruption in Russia, EU, France.

• Broader warning: Free societies wrongly assume freedom is permanent; however, rights erode one restriction at a time.

Personal Responsibility

Is America Better Because I’m in It? By Mollie Engelhart (07/04/2026)

On July 2, 1776, 47-year-old Caesar Rodney rode 80 miles through a thunderstorm at night despite severe asthma and facial cancer to cast Delaware’s deciding vote for independence. He fulfilled his duty even though it meant war against England where he might have gotten better medical care. As awesome as his act was — and it WAS awesome — he did it not because he hoped to make history, but because it was the right thing to do. Mollie Englehart’s essay eloquently explains how ordinary people strengthen America through daily acts of integrity.

History, Known and Unknown

We know the history: Every Independence Day we honor giants of the founding, from Washington crossing the Delaware to Jefferson drafting the Declaration and Hancock signing boldly.

But we didn’t know this: On July 1, 1776, the Delaware delegation stood deadlocked and needed a third vote for independence. Despite grave illness with asthma and disfiguring cancer, Rodney undertook the arduous nighttime ride from Dover to Philadelphia. He arrived at dawn in muddy attire and delivered Delaware’s decisive vote for independence against a country that might have offered him better medical care. Independence likely would have prevailed without his single vote, yet he answered the call of duty, because of his character and integrity.

Why Character Matters Most

Famous people and famous acts established our republic, but everyday acts keep it. Our nation’s fabric strengthens or frays according to each person’s daily contributions of character, integrity, and doing the right thing for its own sake.

• Face unglamorous duties to keep promises, tell truths, show up, and persist.

• Let true honor and character emerge precisely when duty exacts a personal cost.

• Cast daily votes in roles as spouses, parents, neighbors, employers, employees, and friends by showing consistent character.

• Be part of a healthy whole: Perform faithful work to keep the republic healthy, just as countless ordinary cells perform their faithful work to keep the body healthy.

• Keep every promise, speak truth, embrace duty, and sacrifice willingly to fortify family community and country.

• Help America grow better by playing your part.

Homelessness

Dying in Plain Sight. How Passive Outreach, Excuses, and a Lack of Accountability Turn Homelessness Into a Death Sentence. By Kevin Dahlgren (07/01/26)

A homeless person can be dying in plain sight and still be invisible to the system we pay to help save them. The job of social services should be to help people make the necessary changes to reach their fullest potential. That should mean assertive outreach, trust-building, treatment access, medical care, mental health intervention, recovery housing, reunification, and long-term follow-through. Instead, the system too often does the bare minimum. This passive, limited, and sometimes nonexistent effort from the social service system needs to be held accountable. — Kevin Dahlgren

A homeless person can die in plain sight while the social service system does little to help. Author Kevin Dahlgren interviewed thousands of homeless people. Many died from drugs and other causes soon after these conversations.

The system offers passive outreach instead of assertive help including trust-building, treatment, medical care, and follow-up. Many people have addiction, trauma, mental illness, and pain; and they often refuse help or distrust services.

Below are some case studies and details.

• Woman in wheelchair had exposed bone from xylazine-fentanyl wound and kidney disease. She used drugs for pain. Dahlgren warned her. She died months later. Son said group home wanted better pain meds prescribed for her, but that did not happen.

• Zach lived on streets for years. Refused housing. Liked helping others. Said he was happiest he had ever been; then he died from his addiction to drugs.

• Ruby was found face down on sidewalk after eight hours. No one checked. She had never met outreach workers.

• Pockets was a veteran starting a survival guide for the newly homeless. Died from fentanyl-laced meth in front of a homeless nonprofit.

• Of twenty now-dead people Dahlgren interviewed, 18 deaths were drug-related, one was murdered, one committed suicide.

• More than 80% of interviewed homeless in Portland said no outreach worker offered permanent solutions.

• System spends hundreds of millions yearly but lacks standardized assertive outreach, documentation, follow-up, and accountability.

• Deaths often quiet. Users too sick or high to help each other. System cites refusals, limited resources, or complexity.

Fairness in Women’s Sports

Supreme Court upholds our Fairness in Women’s Sports act. Daily Digest 6/30/26. By Brian Almon. The Supreme Court upheld Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act of 2020 in Little v. Hecox. The law requires public school and university female athletic teams to be based on biological sex at birth. Idaho was the first state to pass such a law (thank you, Rep. Barbara Ehardt). The ACLU sued and lower courts blocked the law. Attorney General Raúl Labrador defended it, leading to Supreme Court review. The ruling protects fair competition for girls and women in sports.

Supreme Court Fails Americans on Immigration Ruling. By Idaho Freedom Caucus (06/30/26). The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of people in the U.S. illegally.

• Majority (5-4) ruled the order violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

• Justice Thomas dissented, saying the amendment was for freed slaves after the Civil War and never intended automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants or birth tourists.

• Justice Alito called it a serious mistake and one of the Court’s most important decisions.

• The ruling allows children born in the U.S. to illegal entrants to get automatic citizenship.

Other rulings:

• Court allowed rejecting asylum claims from foreign soil (Mullin v. Al Otro Lado).
  Government may resume “metering:” Limit daily asylum claims at ports of entry and turn back seekers standing in Mexico. Asylum requires physically crossing into US. Enables blocking legal entry claims. May increase illegal crossings and border risks. Supports stricter immigration enforcement.

• Court gave government discretion to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for some groups (Mullin v. Doe).
  Allows Trump admin to end TPS for ~350k Haitians and 4k Syrians, stripping legal status and work permits. Bars most court challenges to TPS terminations/ extensions. Limits judicial oversight of executive immigration decisions.

Presidential Hiring & Firing Rights

What Trump v. Slaughter means for reclaiming our government. Daily Digest 6/29/26. By Brian Almon. The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. Slaughter that the president can fire Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioners without cause, overturning the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent that created “independent agencies” are insulated from presidential control.

• Restores constitutional view of president as chief executive with authority over executive officials.

• Counters administrative state’s technocratic model of expert-run bureaucracies.

• Reinforces separation of powers by affirming presidential ability to hire and fire deputies to execute laws.

Depression, Anxiety, & ADHD in Kids

Depression, Anxiety, & ADHD in Kids. Host: Dr. Paul Thomas. Guest: Dr. Larry Palevsky (06/20/26, video 43:54 includes transcript; doctor discussion ends ~34 min timestamp)

Childhood depression, anxiety, and ADHD are rising for many reasons, including increased screen time, smartphones, and video games; nutritional factors and environmental issues; and cultural shifts. Vaccinated populations are diagnosed more often. Device addiction is disrupting brain development, emotional intelligence, and real-life experiences. As usual, these compassionate pediatricians offer helpful solutions for parents and children.

Causes

• More ADD/ADHD observed over decades in practice.

• Vaccinated children show higher rates of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and neurodevelopmental issues.

• Factors unrelated to vaccines: Food sensitivities, dyes, preservatives, mold, parasites, tick-borne illnesses, nutritional deficiencies.

• Primary driver: Excessive smartphone, cell phone, and video game use (e.g., average 8 hours/day for school-age kids; one case of 40 hours/week).

Screen Time Effects

• Correlates with increased anxiety, depression, and inattention.

• Limits social, emotional, and environmental experiences.

• Causes brain development atrophy, loss of critical thinking, and reliance on external sources.

• Leads to programmable behavior, reduced curiosity, and constant fight-or-flight state.

• Affects emotional quotient (EQ) in adults and children.

Lack of Connection and Addiction

• Addictions stem from lack of connection to self, others, and higher power.

• Screens disconnect users, creating emotional dysregulation and meltdowns upon removal.

• Home must be a safe space; validate feelings instead of dismissing with “it’s okay.”

• Be an authoritative presence: “I’m right here,” hold a calm space, avoid over-talking in distress.

Parenting Advice

• Stop overusing “it’s okay”; connect by acknowledging emotions.

• Minimize screens, especially at mealtimes; prioritize being present.

• Choose authoritative (not authoritarian) parenting over friendship; allow discomfort to build resilience.

• Coaching Resource: Kids First 4Ever.

FDA & HHS

ICAN & mRNA Flu Shot Approvals

FDA’s Vaccine Committee Ignores Concerns and Greenlights Moderna’s New mRNA Flu Vaccine (06/29/26)

The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) voted unanimously to recommend Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine called mFlusiva. The committee did this despite ICAN’s letter that listed safety issues.

• Issues included a small 0.8 percent reduction in flu risk.

• Severe reactions hit 6.4 percent of recipients.

• Five people died in one trial part versus one in the standard shot group.

• Cardiac events occurred.

• Vaccine lacked placebo testing.

• Efficacy data came from one season only.

• Vaccine showed no clear benefit for frail adults over 65.

• The committee suggested more studies be undertaken after approval. Thus, America’s most vulnerable seniors will once again be used as guinea pigs while FDA takes years to figure out if the vaccine is actually harming people.

Futile Pharma

Futile, Deadly & Guaranteed to Fail: HHS and Pharma updates. MAHA-HHS gears up for Operation Warp Democide 2.0, RFK Jr’s meaningless EUA cancellations, Pharma is optimistic about more cancer-causing drugs and government handouts... By Sasha Latypova (07/01/26)

Article Contents (click links to jump to sections)

• MAHA Victory!

• Operation Warp Death 2.0 in the works:

• The Futile, Deadly and Guaranteed-to-Fail Casino: Update

• Novo Nordisk $3.3B gene therapy hole:

• Pfizer’s $43B Seagen oncology gene therapy hole:

Here is the introduction…

This post is a compilation of recent news in the field of Public Hellth before we take a short break to attend the [cheerful] memorial services for what 250 years ago was a reasonably good idea of an independent country, with Constitutional governance, rule of law by the People for the People.

I am not attempting to black pill anyone by this post, quite the opposite. It may feel like we are drowning in evil and constant betrayal, but ask yourself - does it help to be angry and upset? - Never!

On the other hand, does it help to adopt magical political fairy tales and trust the secret plan harder? - Also, no! You would be actively giving yourself a mental illness that way.

IMO, a healthy productive way of dealing with daily nastiness is acknowledging that it’s there, but denying to engage in it emotionally. That’s why I cultivate a sense of humor about these things, and I invite you to practice it with me. Everything passes, this nonsense shall pass, too.

Here is the sanitized summary…

The article covers HHS/Pharma updates, calling efforts futile, deadly, and guaranteed to fail.

• HHS ended some COVID-19 EUAs under RFK Jr., but PREP Act declaration extends to Dec 31, 2029, shielding mRNA platforms (Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax) for vaccines including flu/RSV.

• Pfizer lobbies for “Operation Warp Speed 2.0” Executive Order (EO) focused on cost-cutting treatments/diagnostics for elderly, involving RFK Jr.

• Abivax optimistic for FDA approval of obefazimod (miR-124 enhancer) for ulcerative colitis despite elevated cancer rates (malignancies 0.48, skin cancer 0.95 per 100 patient-years) matching NIH warnings on micro-RNA disruption.

• Novo Nordisk’s $3.3B gene therapy portfolio acquisition yields irreproducible data.

• Pfizer’s $43B Seagen oncology purchase creates financial hole as gene therapies underperform.

Ivermectin on Trial (again)

Ivermectin Is on Trial Again. This Time, It’s Cancer. The largest oncology society in America just recommended against ivermectin and fenbendazole in cancer. Dr. Marik argues the evidence standard was never built for these drugs. By Independent Medical Alliance (06/29/26).

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the largest US oncology group, advised against using ivermectin and fenbendazole for cancer outside clinical trials, citing lack of robust peer-reviewed evidence.

Dr. Paul Marik argues this ignores existing preclinical, mechanistic, observational, and real-world data. He says high-cost random controlled trials (RCTs) suit patented drugs but not cheap generics due to funding, protocol complexity, and patient differences.

Dr. Marik calls for real-patient outcome tracking and observational studies instead, to allow clinician judgment on repurposed drugs alongside standard care.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The Forgotten History of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Causes and treatments for repetitive wrist strain. By A Midwestern Doctor (06/14/26)

Carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly caused by repetitive strain and fluid retention (especially in pregnant patients). Impaired fluid circulation contributes to pressure in carpal tunnel.

AMD discusses history of carpal tunnel syndrome linked to typing strain. QWERTY keyboard became standard to prevent typewriter jams but causes more strain. Dvorak layout reduces errors, fatigue, and wrist strain. AMD developed carpal tunnel from heavy QWERTY use for writing and switched back to Dvorak for relief.

Conventional treatments include nighttime splints, ergonomics, NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, then surgery to cut ligament. These often fail to address root causes like fluid buildup.

AMD offers solutions that you can do at home and should consider first. These include:

• Better ergonomics including raised monitors, treadmill desks, standing desks, or supported squatting.

• Early intervention when symptoms appear.

• Tinel’s test for wrist nerve sensitivity.

• DMSO to help nerve healing and tunnel neuropathies.

Dermatology’s Crusade Against The Sun

Untangling Dermatology’s Massive Skin Cancer Scam. A Midwestern Doctor (06/25/26)

Midwestern Doctor Author’s note: This is an abbreviated version of a full-length article about Dermatology’s Disastrous War Again the Sun that also discusses safer ways to treat or prevent skin cancer (most of which can be done at home) and the nutritional approaches which make it possible for the skin to tolerate and be nourished by longer sun exposures.

Dermatology frames sun as villain for its own profitable business model (including screenings and surgeries) while denying sun’s health benefits. Dermatology promotes avoiding sun to prevent skin cancer. However, sunlight provides major health benefits. Most skin cancers are not deadly.

Monopolization of Medicine: Medical industry promotes unhealthy highly-paid interventions (including Mohs surgeries, sunscreen, medically supervised skin checks). It attacks easy beneficial interventions including sunbathing. American Medical Association (AMA) used seals of approval and ads to gain power, eliminated competing practices, and targeted unprofitable therapies.

Benefits of Sunlight: Sunlight treated flu and tuberculosis historically. It improves mental health, halves breast and prostate cancer incidence, and cuts mortality 60 percent. Sun avoiders die sooner than smokers who get sun.

Great Dermatology Scam: Common cancers are not dangerous. Labelling tricks combine low-risk frequency with deadly image to justify sun avoidance.

Transformation of Dermatology: In the 1980s, low status dermatology profession became high-pay via marketing dermatologists as skin cancer fighters. Profitable screenings and Mohs surgeries ensued.

Changes in Skin Cancer: Diagnoses rose. Deaths stable. Over-treatment common.

Skin Cancer: One in five Americans develop skin cancer over their lifetimes. 9,500 daily diagnoses. Visible cancers inflate numbers and lead to vast amounts of expensive low-value procedures for skin cancer and actinic keratosis (AKs).

Dentistry & Teeth

12 Things Your Dentist Was Trained Not to Tell You. An Essay on the Profession Trained for Repair, Not Prevention. By Unbekoming (06/28/26)

Dentistry focuses on repair rather than prevention, with dentists trained to overlook dietary and systemic causes of dental issues.

12 Things…

1. Cavities not infectious: Caused by diet/metabolism, not bacteria like S. mutans; bacteria present even in low-decay populations.

2. Dentinal fluid transport: Teeth have fluid flow from inside out; sugar reverses it, pulling debris in.

3. Gum recession/bone loss systemic: Linked to overall bone metabolism, not just local plaque.

4. Crooked teeth not inherited: Due to soft industrial diets reducing jaw growth.

5. Amalgam mercury: Toxic vapor releases continuously; linked to systemic illness.

6. Fluoride ineffective: Studies show no major cavity reduction; it’s a waste product with health risks.

7. Nickel crowns: Release carcinogen in children’s mouths.

8. Composites/sealants: Release BPA and other chemicals.

9. Root canals: Dead teeth harbor toxins spreading systemically.

10. Wisdom tooth extractions: Often leave cavitations (unhealed bone lesions).

11. Routine X-rays: Unnecessary cumulative radiation.

12. Drill-fill-bill model: Business incentivizes procedures over prevention.

How to Explain This to a Six-Year-Old

Your teeth are alive. Inside each tooth there is a tiny river. The river flows from the inside of the tooth out to the surface. It carries food for the tooth and pushes the bad stuff away.

When you eat a lot of sugar and soft white bread and packaged food, the river slows down. Then it stops. Then it turns around and runs the wrong way. Now the river is pulling dirty stuff into the tooth instead of pushing it out. That is how a tooth gets a hole in it.

The dentist’s job is to fix the hole. He has a drill and a filling and he gets paid every time he uses them. Six months later you come back, and he checks for more holes.

Here is the funny part. The dentist never asks what you had for breakfast.

If he taught you to eat the right food, the river inside your teeth would flow the right way and you would not get holes. But then he would not get paid. So a long time ago, dentists got together and decided not to learn that part. They decided to keep fixing the holes instead.

That is why your dentist talks about brushing and flossing but never about eating. The brushing and flossing keep the outside of the tooth clean. The eating decides which way the river inside the tooth is flowing.

If you want strong teeth, eat real food. Meat from animals that ate grass. Eggs from chickens that lived outside. Butter from cows. Liver. Fish. Vegetables grown in good dirt. The food your great-great-grandparents ate before food came in shiny packets.

Stay away from candy, soda, white bread, and the stuff in the bright wrappers in the middle of the supermarket.

The dentist will probably never tell you this. Now you know.

Madness

Mad in America (2002). By Robert Whitaker - 30 Q&As - Book Summary. By Unbekoming (06/30/26).

This book review about “madness” in America shows how inhumane the mental health industrial complex always has been and continues to be.

Summary

Schizophrenia outcomes in the US today match 1900 levels despite modern treatments. Patients in India, Nigeria, and Colombia recover at twice the rate, linked to lower neuroleptic (aka antipsychotic medications,) use. A 1994 Harvard meta-analysis showed worsening long-term outcomes during the era of promoted breakthrough medications.

• Robert Whitaker’s “Mad in America” (2002) documents this history using FOIA, journals, and records; followed by “Anatomy of an Epidemic” (2010) extending to other drugs.

• Dopamine hypothesis was abandoned by its proponent but promoted by pharma ads; atypical antipsychotics hailed as breakthroughs.

• Book covers symptom suppression leading to chronicity, buried Soteria findings, ignored WHO studies, and Open Dialogue successes in Lapland with high recovery and low medication.

• Includes record of experiments that worsen psychosis along with historical treatments such as lobotomies.

The rest of the summary — well worth the price of subscription — is for paid subscribers. It includes analogy, one-minute elevator explanation, 12-point summary, Q&As, and Golden Nugget.

Cheating a bit below with a summary of the one-minute elevator explanation (‘cuz we are paid subscribers)…

US schizophrenia outcomes match 1900 levels. Antipsychotics block dopamine, causing brain hypersensitivity that increases psychosis vulnerability, relapse, and chronic illness.

• 5% develop irreversible tardive dyskinesia yearly.

• Patients die 15-25 years earlier than average.

• Disability rolls tripled in 20 years.

• Chemical-imbalance theory disconfirmed (refuted) by 1985 but promoted by pharma.

• Western Lapland minimal-drug program yields 80% first-episode patients returning to work/school; chronic schizophrenia effectively gone.

• Mad medicine history repeats: Theory generates treatment'; treatment causes damage that is read as disease; leads to harsher interventions.

• Patients resist via refusal, hiding, escape, lawsuits; system counters objections to indescribably barbaric physical and surgical assaults with liquid and injectable forms.

Vaccines (Unbekoming)

Dissolving Illusions (Book Review)

Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History (2013). By Suzanne Humphries, MD, and Roman Bystrianyk - 40 Q&As - Book Review and Summary. By Unbekoming (06/16/26)

Summary based on the article introduction…

Mortality from measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, and scarlet fever in the US and England declined 90-99% before vaccines were introduced, per official government data.

The 2013 book Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries, MD, and Roman Bystrianyk reproduces graphs from sources such as the UK Office of National Statistics and US Census Bureau showing mortality declines from the mid-1800s due to sanitation, clean water, nutrition, and reduced child labor, not vaccination.

• Whooping cough deaths fell 85% in the US from late 1920s to late 1940s before widespread pertussis vaccine use.

• Scarlet fever declined to near zero without a vaccine.

• Humphries observed vaccine-related kidney failures in patients, which started her odyssey to learn the truth; Bystrianyk extracted archival mortality data.

• Book uses over 50 primary-source graphs and quotes to challenge the narrative that vaccines conquered infectious disease.

• Covers Leicester’s non-vaccination experiment, DDT-polio correlation, vitamin C polio treatments, and historical compulsory vaccination context including Buck v. Bell sterilizations.

The rest of the book summary — Audio Deep Dive, 40 Q&As, Analogy, One-Minute Elevator Explanation, 12-Point Summary, And Golden Nugget — is for paid subscribers, so we are not including that information out of respect for the author.

We have, however, included each point of the 12-point summary to entice you to subscribe and read more. What Dr. Humphries wrote in her original 2013 book and her 10th Anniversary Edition (published March 26, 2024) has stood the test of time:

1. Victorian living conditions created the disease crisis.

2. Disease decline preceded vaccines by decades.

3. Sanitation, nutrition, and living standards drove the transformation.

4. Smallpox vaccination failed repeatedly but belief persisted.

5. Leicester (England) proved sanitation outperformed vaccination.

6. Vaccines transmitted diseases and caused deaths.

7. Compulsory vaccination enabled eugenics and state overreach.

8. Polio was not purely a viral disease.

9. Polio vaccines caused paralysis and cancer

10. Whole-cell pertussis vaccine caused documented brain damage.

11. Vitamins and nutrition determined disease outcomes.

12. Statistical manipulation sustains the vaccine narrative.

Every Vaccine Causes Harm (Book Review)

Every Vaccine Produces Harm (2015). By Dr. Andrew Moulden - 30 Q&As - Book Review and Summary. By Unbekoming (06/29/26).

Unbekoming summarizes Dr. Andrew Moulden’s book, which explains every vaccine dose causes microvascular harm through immune hyperstimulation and zeta potential collapse. This harm leads to capillary strokes and conditions such as autism, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and Alzheimer’s. The summary details Moulden’s credentials, vaccine harm mechanisms (MASS, watershed areas, facial signs), aluminum’s role, silencing of those questioning vaccines, and healing approaches.

12-point Summary

1. Every dose of every vaccine produces harm. Every vaccine injection causes microvascular damage through immune hyperstimulation and zeta potential collapse, with cumulative effects that may appear immediately or years later.

2. Moulden’s credentials placed him inside the institution he came to challenge. Moulden’s advanced training in neuropsychology, neurology, and psychiatry made him a credible insider who identified vaccine-induced brain injuries others overlooked.

3. MASS is the central diagnostic discovery. Moulden Anoxia Spectrum Syndromes (MASS) is a generic capillary-level response causing hypoxia (low blood oxygen) and microscopic strokes from any foreign substance, unifying many modern diseases.

4. Zeta potential is the second mechanism, an electrochemical one. Zeta potential collapse from aluminum and other agents causes blood cells to clump, blocking capillaries and stopping oxygen delivery in vulnerable areas.

5. Aluminum amplifies vaccine effect by a factor of six thousand. Aluminum adjuvant boosts immune response but massively amplifies vascular damage, persisting in the body despite known toxicity and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status.

6. Watershed areas are the locations where the damage shows. Damage occurs in brain and body regions with single-capillary blood supply, leading to varied symptoms based on location, including sudden death or neurological deficits.

7. Facial asymmetry is the visible footprint of cranial nerve damage. Cranial nerve watershed damage causes observable facial drooping, eye misalignment, and asymmetries detectable in photos before and after vaccination.
   See related article from Midwestern Doctor, which includes photos of vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Most photos in Crooked Smiles section.

8. Microvascular strokes are undetectable by current imaging. Capillary-level blockages are too small for CT, MRI, or other scans to detect, explaining “clean” imaging despite real injury.

9. The continuum of modern diseases shares one mechanism. Autism, Alzheimer’s, SIDS, Crohn’s, and many others are different expressions of the same vascular injury in varying watershed areas and ages.

10. The Atlantic Canada identical twins refute the genetic theory. Genetically identical twins diverged post-birth into autism and learning disabilities due to differential vaccine/environmental exposures, not genes.

11. Moulden was systematically silenced and almost certainly killed for the work. He faced forced psychiatric labeling, license threats, website scrubbing, and sudden death after planning to release more research.

12. The healing protocol begins with removal of triggers. Stopping vaccines and toxins, plus clean diet/water and zeta-restoring measures, leverages brain plasticity for potential recovery.

One-Minute Elevator Explanation Quote

There is a Canadian physician most people have never heard of named Andrew Moulden. He had a PhD in clinical neuropsychology and an MD with residency training in psychiatry and neurology, which is a rare combination. In the early 2000s he was looking at the faces of vaccinated children and noticing something the paediatricians were not noticing. He was seeing the exact same asymmetries that any neurologist would call a stroke in an adult patient: drooping mouth corners, misaligned eyes, lagging eyelids, the visible footprint of cranial nerve damage. In children, these signs were being ignored or relabelled as autism.

He worked out the mechanism. Every dose of every vaccine produces what he called a MASS reaction, an excessive non-specific immune hyperstimulation, combined with a collapse of zeta potential, the negative electrical charge that keeps blood cells suspended in plasma. Together, those two effects cause tiny strokes in the capillaries of the brain and other organs, in regions called watershed areas that have no backup blood supply. The strokes are too small to show up on any imaging machine. The brain has no pain receptors, so the child feels nothing. But the damage is cumulative. He grouped autism, Alzheimer’s, SIDS, Gulf War syndrome, Crohn’s, schizophrenia, fibromyalgia, and a long list of modern syndromes together under one diagnostic umbrella, because they all share the same vascular mechanism.

He resigned from medicine in 2007 to spread the message. The Canadian College of Physicians forced him to sign a contract declaring himself mentally ill and committing to public silence as a condition of his licence. He died suddenly in November 2013, two weeks after telling colleagues he was about to break that silence and release new research. He was forty-nine.

This review by Australian author and researcher Unbekoming is an eye opener, even for those of us who have been studying the vaccine industry for the past 6 years (sadly, late in life but better late than never). Unbekoming’s review reveals through historical accounts the longstanding harms of vaccination and the corruption that has fed the industry from the start. The author has generously unlocked the full article for all audiences.

Don’t think this is just dusty old history, and all is well now. The Vaccine Watchman easily could be reframed for today! Nothing has changed except slicker marketing and the vast amount of money and legal protections behind this industry. We see so many parallels with the current vaccine system, including the childhood and adult vaccine schedule — and especially COVID shots and other mRNA soups coming through the pipeline (including just-approved mRNA flu shots).

Also, check out A Midwestern Doctor’s Substack, which exposes the Forgotten Side of Medicine (includes a handy article index).

W.D. Stokes was a 19th-century English medical herbalist in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, at 35 Calverley Road. By 1888, he had practiced 30+ years. His 1888 pamphlet “The Vaccine Watchman” exposes compulsory vaccination in England as blood poisoning that spreads diseases. Stokes used his own observations, official records, and vaccinators’ admissions to compile his pamphlet.

In a nutshell, Stokes explained that vaccination introduced corrupt matter from diseased humans and animals into healthy blood. Smallpox deaths rose under stricter national laws. Many diseases occurred shortly after vaccination. Public funds supported it heavily while resisters faced fines and jail.

12-point Summary

1. Vaccination is blood poisoning. It puts corrupt matter carrying many diseases into pure blood.

2. Edward Jenner got £30,000 from government then confessed cow-pox vaccination was useless. He kept the money.

3. Vaccination is inoculation in disguise. Smallpox deaths increased after compulsory law. Epidemics grew from 14,244 to 44,840 deaths.

4. In Germany with multiple vaccinations, 200,000 of one million smallpox cases died.

5. Royal Committee had vaccinators judging their own practice. They said it was safe.

6. 242 vaccinators listed 40 diseases caused by vaccination including cancer, syphilis, tuberculosis.

7. Public cost reached over £2.7 million by 1885 in fees and bonuses.

8. Calves used for lymph often died or were sold for food.

9. Doctors omitted vaccination from death certificates to protect the trade.

10. Mercury entered medicine via Paracelsus (born 1493).
    Paracelsus displaced centuries of herbal remedies and Galen’s work, and claimed Devil’s help was perfectly OK when God would not impart medical knowledge.

11. Stokes successfully treated smallpox with yarrow tea and heat to aid the body.

12. Stokes called for repeal of Britain’s Compulsory Vaccination Act and the passage of a prohibitory Act in its place.
    Compare with calls in today’s America to repeal PREP Act and National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and efforts in states such as Idaho to prevent mandated medical treatments (including vaccination) on anyone.

Pamphlet Quotes

The pamphlet opens with two epigraphs. The first, from the 104th Psalm: “The herb for the service of man.” The second, from the 33rd of Ezekiel, in which the blood of the people is laid upon the watchman’s head if he does not sound the trumpet when he sees the sword coming.

The Almighty God, our wise Creator, has made His work perfect. Man cannot improve upon it by the introduction of corrupt matter into the blood. Vaccination is therefore a sin and an insult to the Creator. He has sent the herbs to cure disease. Many of the doctors do not know their business and despise the herbs along with the law of God. Mercury itself was put into the mind of man, in the inventor’s own words, by the apostate spirit at war with God and mankind. The wicked spirit is permitted to deceive nations because nations are in rebellion. Woe unto vile men that rob and murder millions. To injure innocent babes with the vile sins of filthy people is like touching the apple of His eye. Judgment will fall upon those who have upheld this law.

One-Minute Elevator Explanation Quote

In 1888 a medical herbalist named W. D. Stokes published a small pamphlet from Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He had practised for thirty years. He had watched vaccination spread through England under a compulsory law. He had treated the people it injured.

What he documented is this. Vaccination as the trade understood it was the introduction into the blood of corrupt matter that had passed through millions of diseased bodies. The procedure carried with it a long catalogue of conditions: consumption, syphilis, eczema, cancer, paralysis, blindness, and many more. The vaccinators’ own 1882 committee at Exeter Hall listed forty such diseases.

The figures showed small-pox worsening, not improving, after compulsory vaccination. Berlin, in spite of triple vaccination, recorded eight times the London death rate. The cost to the public passed two and a half million pounds in fees alone by 1885.

Doctors confessed in print to omitting vaccination from death certificates to protect the trade.

Working families were fined and imprisoned for refusing to submit their children.

Stokes treated small-pox with yarrow tea, cream of tartar, Turkey rhubarb, and brewer’s yeast, and reported a thirty-year record without a single death where he had treated the case from the first.

He framed the entire industry as commercial murder protected by parliament.

Vaccines, Murder, and More

Babies Likely Die of SIDS — Mom Arrested

Breaking: Mother of Twins Who Died 8 Days After Vaccinations Charged With Murder. Police in Payette, Idaho, arrested Andrea Shaw on Tuesday afternoon (06/30/26), more than a year after her two children — fraternal twins Dallas and Tyson Shaw — were found dead at their home on May 1, 2025, eight days after receiving their 18-month vaccines. Police charged Shaw with two counts of first-degree murder. Shaw said doctors ignored her when she warned that the twins’ father had previously experienced a bad reaction to a flu vaccine. By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. (07/01/26)

Article Summary
Andrea Shaw, a 23-year-old mother in Payette, Idaho, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Her fraternal twins Dallas and Tyson Shaw died on May 1, 2025, eight days after receiving 18-month vaccines.

NOTE: Andrea Shaw is a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed 01/21/26 against American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) on vaccine safety. [Could this arrest be retaliation for the AAP lawsuit? Just asking; have no insider knowledge.]

Quote from lawsuit (footnote 5, page 6):

The Shaw family previously resided in Payette, Idaho, where their children’s deaths occurred. Local police appeared on television implying wrongdoing. The family received death threats and was forced to relocate.

Key points

• Shaw found both toddlers unresponsive (dead) on morning of May 1, 2025.

• Twins received flu, hepatitis A, and DTaP vaccines on April 23, 2025. Andrea Shaw warned doctors of family history of bad reaction to flu vaccine in father. Doctors dismissed concerns and gave shots anyway.

• Twins became lethargic and ill within hours. Next day they had blue lips and struggled to move.

• Emergency room diagnosed post-immunization reaction. Symptoms continued for days before babies died.

• Police immediately suspected parents and investigated asphyxiation.

• Shaw gave birth to new baby three weeks early on June 25 while case ongoing. (Father now caring for infant while mother is in jail.)

• Police arrested Andrea Shaw on June 30, 2026 (more than a year after babies died), after a grand jury indictment. Attorney says charges stem from system’s refusal to acknowledge vaccine risks.

• Family reported deaths to VAERS (VAERS ID 2842291-1, dated May 22, 2025, according to our search).

  NOTE: We’ve provided OpenVAERS links here because they are easier to follow. The VAERS ID is the same in both VAERS and OpenVAERS.

SIDS Science Censorship

SIDS Science Censorship. Host: Dr. Paul Thomas. Guest: Neil Miller (07/04/26, video 48:10, segment ends 34:34, includes transcript)

Neil Miller discussed his 2021 study on vaccines and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), which analyzed VAERS data over 30 years (1990-2019). He discovered temporal (time-related) clustering of infant deaths post-vaccination using US government’s own VAERS database.

The study titled “Vaccines and Sudden Infant Death”, originally published in Toxicology Reports, later was removed — not just retracted — from the scientific record five years after publication for reasons even AI considered unjustified. The complaints against the study’s “methodology” likely were unfounded and mostly nonspecific. Just prior to removal, the study was being cited by high profile doctors Peter McCullough and Pierre Kory.

Highlights This article has been retracted. Retraction in: Toxicol Rep. 2026 Apr 9;16:102250 See also: PMC Retraction Policy • Additive or synergistic toxicity may occur following multivalent vaccination. • Infant deaths post-vaccination are often misclassified as SIDS or suffocation in bed. • Of all reported SIDS cases post-vaccination, 75 % occurred within 7 days (p < 0.00001). Inflammatory cytokines in the infant medulla act as neuromodulators causing prolonged apneas. • Adjuvants that cross the BBB may induce fatal disorganization of respiratory control.

Study Objectives and History: Documented SIDS (formerly cot death) rise after new vaccines and immunization campaigns in 1960s-1970s. SIDS became leading post-neonatal cause of death by 1972; CDC category established 1973. Miller analyzed VAERS data 1990-2019 and reviewed medical literature.
NOTE: International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for vaccine-related deaths removed in 1979.

Principal Findings: Of 2,605 infant deaths in VAERS, 58% occurred within 3 days and 78% within 7 days post-vaccination. The findings were highly statistically significant (p=0.00001). Deaths clustered post-vaccination, not evenly spaced; they showed an incubation pattern peaking day 2. Younger infants (around 2-4 months) were most affected, aligning with vaccination schedule.

Censorship and Retraction: Paper removed December 2023 (nearly 5 years post-publication) by editor Dr. Lash and Elsevier ethics committee. The removal cited methodological flaws and concerns about the paper’s potential influence on medical practice.

Miller provided detailed to criticisms from one individual — who complained on SOCIAL MEDIA! Nonetheless, the paper was fully removed from toxicology journal site (not just retracted), likely triggered by increased visibility from discussions by Drs. McCullough and Kory. It’s still accessible via PubMed, likely temporarily.

Responses and Future: HHS Secretary RFK Jr. sent letter to Dr. Lash requesting response. Miller is writing a book titled “The Forbidden Study” reproducing paper, correspondence, AI/COPE analysis, and commentary. He plans to do more research on mechanisms; inform parents of risks; reduce concurrent vaccines. Both Miller and Thomas expressed hope in helping individual families make informed decisions.

“Affordable” Housing

Crapo, Risch, Fulcher & Simpson Voted to House Foreign Nationals While Idaho Kids Get Priced Out of Homes. By Brian Lenney (06/25/26)

Idaho’s Republican delegation—Crapo, Risch, Fulcher, and Simpson—all voted yes on H.R. 6644, a bill allowing HUD to publish federal zoning guidelines, tying grants to housing production and zoning reforms, while including banking deregulation provisions and no mention of immigration. Idaho Senator Brian Lenney was not amused. Neither were we.

• Bill encourages duplexes/triplexes/fourplexes in single-family areas, manufactured homes, and multifamily in retail zones; links funding to compliance.

• Passed House 358-32 and Senate 85-5; criticized for overriding local control and ignoring housing demand from immigration.

• Includes Opportunity Zones prioritization and FHA small-dollar mortgage pilot.

• Author argues it favors developers and fails to prioritize American citizens’ housing needs.

• Idaho Press Guest commentary: Whose country is this? By BRIAN LENNEY (06/27/26)

We posted this comment to Sen. Lenney’s article:

What ever happened to local and state sovereignty? Many of Idaho’s representatives (federal, state, local) have forgotten our roots as a constitutional republic. Doesn’t matter whether they have R or D label; they’ve simply forgotten — or ignored for their own purposes — the beautiful country and documents our founders bequeathed us.

As you said, either no one reads these bills (likely) or no one cares (also likely).

Idaho’s Republican state legislators passed similar legislation (assuming we understand your post and the bills correctly). We asked them to reconsider before passing these bills, in Substack notes and emails. They didn’t. The bills passed.

See:

• NO on S1352 - Starter home subdivision (Posted: 03/19/26):

• NO on S1354 - Accessory dwelling units (Posted: 03/20/26):

• NO on S1352, S1353, S1354, and H0800 Land Use Proposals. Preserve Individual Property Rights and Local Control (Posted: 03/05/26) — H0800, S1352, S1354

More about bills we supported or opposed (for better or worse, our citizen-taxpayers opinions are just our opinions): here

Several hours after we posted our comment, Sen. Lenney added an excellent post on X (which agreed with our assessment of this messment).

Summary:

Idaho passed housing bills HB 800, SB 1352, and SB 1354 overriding local zoning. Manufactured homes are allowed on any single-family lot statewide; cities over 10,000 residents cannot require lots larger than 1,500 sq ft, enabling up to 12 units per acre; ADUs are mandated and HOAs cannot block them.

The bills, shaped by developers via a Democrat-led interim committee and advanced by Republicans, do not address institutional investors buying subdivisions or limit out-of-state purchases, despite claims of improving affordability. Similar measures appeared in multiple states. The governor signed them despite prior opposition.

Idaho GOP Convention

The 2026 Idaho GOP Convention was held in Meridian, ID, June 18-20, 2026. We did not attend, but offer some key coverage. For more details, visit the Idaho GOP and Gem State Chronicle websites and Gem State Chronicle Substack.

Chairwoman’s Message

Op-Ed: The Idaho GOP is United and Ready to Work. By Dorothy Moon, Idaho GOP Chairwoman (06/25/26)

The Idaho GOP held its 2026 state convention. Delegates debated ideas and elected officers. Dorothy Moon was re-elected chairwoman. New leaders include Viki Purdy, Julianne Young, Sandra Eaton, and Carla Mattare. The party is united. It will fight a radical abortion initiative. It aims to elect Republicans across Idaho.

Quotes from Dorothy Moon’s op-ed…

What a week! The 2026 Idaho GOP State Convention is in the books. Delegates from throughout the state came to Meridian to discuss ideas, plan strategy, and elect officers to lead the Idaho Republican Party for the next two years. Though we had our share of debates, one thing everyone agreed on was that we must fight the radical abortion initiative with everything we’ve got.

… we’re getting to work right away. We have Republican candidates to elect not only to Congress, the Legislature, and statewide offices, but also as county commissioners, sheriffs, prosecutors, coroners, and so many more…

Even as we see socialists and radical Muslims winning Democratic primary elections throughout the country—people who have publicly stated their desire to destroy the country we love—Idaho Republicans will continue standing up to defend our history, our heritage, and the liberties that made America great in the first place.

We also have a radical abortion initiative to deal with… the progressive left wants to …bring back abortion—even up to nine months of pregnancy—to Idaho.

The Idaho GOP … will fight to ensure every Idaho voter knows the truth about this radical initiative, and we will defeat it in November should it make the ballot…

See next.]

Idaho GOP Platform Updates

The Future of the Idaho GOP Platform. By Brian Almon (06/22/26)

Excerpt…

I still firmly believe that a smaller, sharper platform would benefit voters and candidates alike. I have also come to realize how important our current detailed policy document is to grassroots activists. I look forward to continuing the conversation over the next two years about how best to translate our values into policies that protect the liberties we enjoy here in Idaho.

Brian Almon proposed streamlining the party’s 20-page platform into a two-page preamble plus short list of legislative priorities. It passed the Platform Committee but faced opposition and was withdrawn by Almon to prevent division, leading to a future committee for review. Overall Almon was happy with the result (except for the personal attacks that ensued).

Idaho GOP Resolutions

Resolutions of the Idaho GOP. By Brian Almon (06/24/26)

Introduction from related Substack article…

Every six months, the Idaho Republican Party passes a series of resolutions—statements, essentially, calling for action or declaring a position. Those resolutions usually come from the State Central Committee, but every two years convention delegates issue their own as well. This year, delegates passed eighteen resolutions following debate in both the Resolutions Committee and on the floor during the general session.

Closing paragraph from full article…

Resolutions have no power in and of themselves, but they can be used by elected officials, party officers, activists, and voters to draw attention to important issues. If you care strongly about any of these issues, take them to your elected officials and start working on a plan of action. Words without action are worth no more than the paper they are printed on.

Idaho GOP 2026 Resolutions (passed):

• 2026-01: Supports making municipal elections partisan.

• 2026-02: Condemns legislative committee chairs withholding bills from hearings.

• 2026-04: Addresses county commissioners appointing replacements for prosecutors.

• 2026-05: Calls for congressional passage of SAVE America Act for election integrity.

• 2026-06: Opposes indemnification/immunity for private entities like vaccine makers.

• 2026-07: Opposes rescheduling or legalizing marijuana.

• 2026-09: Calls for Traditional American Family Values Month.

• 2026-10: Urges action on new world screwworm threat to beef supply.

• 2026-12: Opposes radical abortion initiative on ballot.

• 2026-13: Supports nuclear energy research at Idaho National Laboratory.

• 2026-14: Demands local control over wireless telecom equipment placement.

• 2026-15: Requires voter approval for government giveaway of high-value property.

• 2026-16: Opposes election officials endorsing candidates.

• 2026-17: Restricts elective office for those with certain criminal convictions.

• 2026-20: Calls for higher homeowner property tax exemption, eventual end to property taxes.

• 2026-21: Requires two-thirds majority for new taxing districts.

• 2026-22: Calls for more training and responsibility for precinct committeemen.

• 2026-23: Limits local authority; allows state intervention to protect rights.

Idaho Government 101 — Prosecutors

Understanding the Prosecutor’s Role. Government 101 Series: Prosecutors. By Rep. Heather Scott (06/24/26)

Idaho Code 31-2227 states that the primary duty of enforcing Idaho’s criminal laws in court is vested in the county sheriff and the county prosecuting attorney.

County prosecutors are elected every 4 years in the general election (or appointed by County Commissioners if a prosecutor leaves during his or her term).

Prosecutors hold primary duty for enforcing criminal laws in court, shaping justice, and public safety. They review the evidence brought by law enforcement and decide:

• Should charges be filed?

• What charges should be filed?

• Is there enough evidence to win in court?

• Should the case be dismissed or prosecuted after police investigations and arrests.

Anti-Aging

We were deeply disappointed to see a respected doctor addressing gene therapy for eye diseases as a good thing. Sasha Latypova shared our disappointment, though her words were much more sharply formed.

Latypova quote…

Dr. Ryan Cole and Independent Medical Alliance are now shilling a gene therapy that contains SV40! Really? Are you guys OK? Have you read any science literature about this “Yamanaka factor” drug, (ER-100)? Newsflash, anything injected into the eye is systemically distributed. SV40 is a known carcinogen. Yes, cancer cells are technically “immortal”. Also, for this elixir to “work”, a continuous regimen of antibiotics and steroids needs to be taken indefinitely! You can’t make this up!!! Who sponsored this podcast? Way to trash your reputation, I hope those sponsorship $$$ were worth it. (reference to Latypova’s article linked just below)

• The FDA greenlit a human trial of an “immortality elixir” containing SV40! I wish I were making this up, but I am not that creative. By Sasha Latypova (02/06/26). Republished 06/26/26 here.

Reversing Aging: Gene Therapy Enters Human Trials for Age-Related Eye Disease. Dr. Ryan Cole explains a new gene therapy entering human trials for age-related eye disease, plus natural compounds and light therapy that support healthy aging. By Independent Medical Alliance (06/25/26, article + video 03:39)

A new gene therapy based on Dr. Shinya Yamanaka Nobel Prize work enters human trials for age-related eye conditions including glaucoma. The therapy uses eye injection to make cells produce three proteins that restore youthful function. So far, it showed good results in mice and primates. The human trial lasts five years.

Dr. Cole also discussed broader biology of aging, explaining:

• How senescent “zombie cells” accumulate over time, driving chronic inflammation without serving a purpose.

• How natural compounds such as quercetin and fisetin, found in apple peels, strawberries, and dark berries, are being explored to clear zombie calls.

• Role of mitochondrial health and light therapy in restoring cellular energy.

COVID Independence Day?

Never Forget…

Rebooting Independence: Lessons from the Pandemic. Republished article from “The Paradox Press”. By Mary Talley Bowden MD (06/27/26)

Originally published June 17, 2026 on The Paradox Press. The Paradox Press is an independent publication launched in 2026 by Andrew Schmitt and Jack Jasper. Read their mission statement here.

We encourage you to read Dr. Bowden’s article in the original (it’s not long and it’s beautifully written). But here’s a short summary for those in a hurry…

Spring Break 2026 reminds Dr. Bowden of the 2020 COVID pandemic, which divided people and eroded trust. Dr. Bowden is uniquely positioned to value independence after facing personal and professional challenges.

• Spring Break 2020 marked the start of major changes that resembled Pearl Harbor for previous generations.

• COVID pandemic acted as World War III through division without bloody battles.

• Families and friendships broke due to differing views on COVID shots. Recently, Dr. Bowden met an old friend who offered no apology for past rift.

• Trust in government, medicine, and institutions decreased permanently. Dr. Bowden refuses future vaccines and questions hospitals.

• Dr. Bowden runs a “third-party-free” ENT practice in Houston: no insurance contracts, no hospital affiliations, no government ties. Physician independence protects against tyranny and supports patient care.

• Hospital revoked her privileges over social media posts against mandates. Dr. Bowden still faces ongoing court battle with Texas Medical Board over her stance to protect patients early in the pandemic.

• Dr. Bowden is affiliated with organizations including Independent Medical Alliance, Americans for Health Freedom, React19, and Vaccine Safety Research Foundation help with resources and accountability.

Our Take

Well done, Dr. Bowden. No one could have said it better!

The behavior of doctors, hospitals, and others in the medical profession was familiar to those who have studied WWII history, lived through those dark times, or had family members perish in the Holocaust.

But for those unfamiliar, we asked Grok:

Did a lot of doctors join the Nazi party before and during WWII? Provide links and explanations about why. Full answer here.

Grok results:

• Yes. Roughly 45-50% of German doctors joined the Nazi Party—far higher than the general population (~10%) or most other professions.

• Why: Economic insecurity post-WWI, career advancement (e.g., replacing Jewish doctors), alignment with eugenics/”racial hygiene” and Social Darwinism popular in medicine, opportunism, and ideological fit with “applied biology.”

• Key sources:

  • USHMM: Role of Doctors and Nurses

  • Wikipedia List of Nazi Doctors

FAA & Pilot Early Deaths

The Silence from the FAA ... is deafening. By Dr. Kevin Stillwagon (06/22/26, includes 7 minute video and transcript)

Dr. Kevin Stillwagon collected data on airline pilot deaths. He found more pilots under age 65 died after 2020. Numbers rose from 67 in 2019 to 103 in 2021. Many deaths involved cancer and heart issues. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not track this data. It stays silent on the increase.

RATS!

Scientists Find Poison-Resistant Mutant Rats Spreading Across America’s Biggest Cities. By Ben Kew (06/25/26)

Rutgers University study examined nearly 300 rodents collected from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.

• Study published in the journal Pest Management Science.

• Rutgers researchers analyzed nearly 300 rodents from urban areas in the northeastern United States and Washington, D.C.

• Study found widespread genetic mutations associated with resistance to common rodenticides.

• About five-sixths of the rodents tested carried at least one mutation linked to reduced poison sensitivity.

• More than two-thirds had additional genetic changes previously associated with resistance to rodenticides.

• House mice showed resistance-related mutations more frequently than brown (Norway) rats.

• Researchers began investigating after reports from pest-control operators that standard anticoagulant poisons appeared less effective.

• Rodents can spread diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis, and cites recent leptospirosis cases in New York City.

• Increasing resistance may make urban infestations harder to control and could require alternative management strategies.

• Brown rats showed fewer resistance mutations than house mice, possibly because they are more cautious around unfamiliar food and traps.

In 2026, Idaho’s legislature attempted to pass bills to support eradicating rats. We opposed these “kill, kill, kill” bills because research already showed that rats build resistance to rodenticides, are clever enough to avoid them, and that other methods of control — e.g., sanitation, natural predators, etc. — could be more effective and less harmful ecologically.

Acne

What Is Acne? An Essay on the Skin’s Discharge, and the War Waged Against It. By Unbekoming (06/19/26)

Acne is skin discharging excess toxins and lipids via sebum when liver and gut are overloaded by Western diet (refined carbs raising insulin/IGF-1, dairy, industrial seed oils) and other burdens.

• Acne is absent in traditional populations like Kitavans and Aché.

• Medical treatments (topicals, antibiotics, pill, isotretinoin) suppress elimination of the overload instead of addressing terrain (cause of the overload).

Acne treatment drugs come with side effects

• Oral antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline, lymecycline): Devastate gut microbiome; months-long courses; minocycline causes permanent pigmentation in skin/nails/eyes/teeth/bones, drug-induced lupus.

• Contraceptives — Co-cyprindiol (Dianette/Diane-35): Cyproterone acetate + ethinylestradiol; blocks androgen receptors, suppresses ovarian androgen production; four-fold higher venous thromboembolism risk vs. levonorgestrel pills; restricted to the most severe acne after 2013 EU review.

• Isotretinoin (Accutane/Roaccutane): Shrinks sebaceous glands via apoptosis; dries skin/lips/eyes/nose; raises triglycerides/liver enzymes; black box warning for depression, suicide, psychosis.

Improving acne with diet

• Eliminate refined carbohydrates, sugar, white flour.

• Remove all dairy.

• Avoid industrial seed oils (high-linoleic).

• Support liver/gut clearance to reduce skin burden.

Explain It To A 6 Year Old

Your skin is like a door that lets yucky stuff out of your body. When you eat lots of sugary, packaged food, your body has more yucky stuff to get rid of than it can push out the normal ways, so it opens the little doors in your face to help, and those little open doors are the spots.

In some places in the world, people eat only fresh, real food. Their bodies do not have extra yucky stuff to push out, so they do not get spots at all, not even the teenagers.

The medicines for spots do not take away the yucky stuff. They try to slam the little doors shut. Some of them upset your tummy, and the strongest one is made from too much of the stuff that vitamin pills are made of, and it switches off the little doors completely. But the yucky stuff is still inside. The better answer is to stop putting so much yucky stuff in, so your body has nothing it needs to push out the door.

Alpha-Gal Syndrome

What Is Alpha-Gal Syndrome? An Essay on Anaphylaxis to Bovine Proteins, the Tick Story That Followed, and the Proposal to Deploy It. By Unbekoming (06/14/26)

Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) to mammalian (bovine) proteins. AGS occurs when mammalian proteins such as gelatin or bovine serum albumin from vaccines and biologics are injected with aluminum adjuvant, bypassing digestion and sensitizing the immune system. Subsequent ingestion of red meat triggers delayed reactions.

• Charles Richet described the anaphylaxis after sensitization by injection mechanism in 1913. He won a Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine for his trouble.

• Unvaccinated groups such as the Amish show no AGS cases.

• The lone star tick narrative emerged following discoveries that people in the tick-infested Southeast who were given the cancer drug cetuximab (Erbitux) seemed pre-sensitized to hypersensitive allergic reactions. What caused that sensitization? Science blamed it on tick exposure.

• Oddly enough, the observed hypersensitivity coincided with expanded childhood schedules and new International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes added around 2021.

What was it really about? Would you believe…wait for it…CLIMATE CHANGE! In 2017, S. Matthew Liao, director of the Center for Bioethics at New York University, gave a TED talk proposing human engineering as a solution. He also spoke about this is 2016 (see videos below):

“We could artificially induce mild intolerance to meat by stimulating our immune system against common bovine proteins, and in this way we can create an aversion to eating eco-unfriendly food. And we can do this for example by having meat patches kind of like nicotine patches. People can then wear these patches before they go out for dinner to curb their enthusiasm for eating meat.” — S. Matthew Liao

How to Explain It to a 6-Year-Old

When you eat food, your tummy breaks it down into tiny pieces so your body can use it. That is your tummy’s job.

If someone uses a needle to put bits of meat straight into your blood, your body never gets to break them down. Your body says, “Wait, that doesn’t belong here.” It remembers the meat as something bad.

Later, when you eat that meat for dinner, your body sees it and gets scared. It thinks the meat is back to hurt you. It makes you sick. Sometimes very sick.

A long time ago, a scientist named Richet did this on purpose with dogs. He gave them shots with meat in them, then he fed them meat. The dogs got very sick. He won a big prize for figuring this out.

Today, when children get shots, sometimes those shots have tiny bits of cow in them. The cow bits are part of how the shot is made. But the body still remembers. Years later, when those children grow up and eat a hamburger, some of them get very sick.

The doctors do not say, “It was the shot.” They say, “It was a tick.” A tick is a tiny bug that lives in the woods.

But the children who never got shots, and who live near lots of ticks, do not get sick from hamburgers. The children who got shots, and who have never seen a tick, do get sick from hamburgers.

So we know who did it. It was not the tick.

Allergy & Hay Fever

The Allergy Deception (2026). New Book by Unbekoming: How a Century of Injection Created the Modern Allergy Epidemic. By Unbekoming (06/21/26)

The modern allergy epidemic stems from childhood vaccination schedules expanded since the late 1980s.

• Mechanism is in Charles Richet’s 1901 discovery of anaphylaxis via injected foreign proteins.

• Injected foreign proteins bypass digestive neutralization and, when paired with aluminum adjuvants, sensitize the immune system for IgE responses and allergic reactions.

• Key evidence includes historical studies, Japan’s removal of gelatin from DTaP reducing cases, and timing correlations with U.S. schedule changes and rising peanut allergies.

• Critiques constructs such as immune dysregulation, antibodies, and autoimmunity for shifting blame from injections.

• Describes pharmaceutical dependency on antihistamines and related drugs, and outlines reversal approaches via terrain medicine, gut/liver protocols, and excipient analysis from interviews and literature.

The body is responding intelligently to what has been done to it. The framework that calls the response the disease has produced an industry whose continued operation depends on the disease remaining mysterious. The mechanism Richet named in 1901 is the mechanism producing the modern allergy epidemic, and the path to reversal is in the protocol that closes the book.

What Is Hay Fever? An Essay on the Disease That Began in 1819. By Unbekoming (06/22/26)

Hay fever started in 1819. John Bostock found cases only in middle and upper classes in London. Poor people did not get it. Smallpox vaccination began 20 years earlier. It used cow material injected into people. Hay fever appeared first in those who got vaccinated. Pollen triggers symptoms. The root cause is injection of foreign proteins. This leads to sensitization and allergies. Studies link more vaccination to higher hay fever rates.

Explain It To A Six-Year-Old

A long time ago, before doctors started doing it, almost nobody got hay fever. Then doctors started giving people a shot in the arm. They thought the shot would keep people from getting sick. The shot put stuff into the body that the body had never seen before, and the body got confused.

When the body is healthy, it knows what belongs and what does not. It breathes in flowers and dust and grass and air, and it sorts them out fine. When the doctors put stuff straight into the arm with a needle, the body had to figure out what was happening without being able to use its usual ways of checking. So it started to react.

After the shot, some bodies started to get itchy and sneezy when they breathed in things that used to be fine. Pollen from grass, dust, pet fur. The body would say, wait, that looks like something I had to deal with before, when the doctor stuck the needle in. And it would start sneezing and the eyes would itch and the nose would run.

Hay fever is the body doing its job. It is trying to wash away things it thinks are dangerous. The runny nose washes things out, and so do the watering eyes, and the sneezing pushes things away.

Medicine usually gives people pills to stop the runny nose and the sneezing. The pills do not fix the problem. They just hide what the body is trying to do. The real problem is that the body was confused in the first place by the shot.

If you have hay fever, your body is not broken. Your body is working. It is reacting to something that scared it a long time ago.

Bovine Tuberculosis

Clarkson’s Cows. What the Bovine TB Test Actually Measures. By Unbekoming (06/21/26).

This one should break your heart! Unbekoming describes what happens to cattle farmers and cattle when tuberculosis (TB) testing is performed on the herd: Healthy cattle are sentenced to death due to a non-specific skin test that actually shows their immune system is functioning properly when subjected to injection of foreign protein.

The skin test injects protein from killed bacteria into a cow’s neck. It measures swelling after three days when a technician measures the reaction with a ruler.

• Positive cows go to slaughter.

• Many slaughtered cows show no TB lesions.

• Lab tests find no bacteria in most of those cases.

• The test provokes skin reactions. It does not confirm disease.

• Farmers lose cattle and face restrictions.

Explain It To A Six Year Old

A farmer has a cow. The cow is healthy. She eats grass, gives milk, and walks around on her four legs the way cows do.

One day a man comes to the farm. He has a small needle. The man pricks the cow’s skin on the side of her neck. Into the prick he pushes a tiny drop of liquid. The liquid has bits of dead germs in it, mixed with a chemical that keeps the germ bits from going off, and a little water.

The cow’s skin does what skin does when something gets pushed under it. It puffs up a little, the way your finger would puff up if you got a splinter. The puffing is the body fixing the prick.

Three days later, the man comes back. He has a little ruler. He measures how puffy the skin is. If the puff is bigger than a certain size, he says the cow is sick. The cow is sent away to be killed.

But the puff is not sickness. The puff is the body fixing the prick. A healthy cow’s body fixes pricks faster and makes bigger puffs. A tired or weak cow’s body cannot puff up as much.

This means the man’s ruler is picking the healthiest cows. The ones who puff up most are the ones who get killed. The ones whose bodies are too tired to puff up much get to stay.

The farmer is told the cow had to die because she was sick. The cow was not sick. The cow was healthy, and her healthy body did what healthy bodies do when something pricks them.

The hardest part of the story to understand is why this keeps happening. The cow is healthy. The farmer knows the cow is healthy. The farmer would like to say no to the man with the needle. But the farmer cannot say no, because of something that happens very far away from the farm.

It is about who buys the meat and the milk.

There are some countries that are very rich. They like to buy meat and milk from other countries. But they have a rule. They will only buy from places that promise their cows do not have a sickness called TB. To prove there is no TB, every farm in every country that wants to sell to them has to do the puffing test on every cow. And every puffing cow has to be killed.

If a country stops doing the test, or stops killing the puffing cows, the rich countries stop buying. The farmers in that country cannot sell their cows for as much money. The whole country gets poorer. So the farmer has to let the man with the needle come. The country has to let the killing happen.

A long time ago, when one country wanted to control another country, they sent soldiers. Today they do it differently. They make rules about who can sell what to whom, and the rules do the same job that soldiers used to do.

The puffing test is one of these rules. It looks like it is about sick cows. It is really about who gets to tell other countries what to do with their land and their animals.

The same thing happens with another sickness called foot-and-mouth. A different test but the same trick. Millions of healthy cows get killed in both, because the rich countries’ rules say the killing has to happen.

The only ones who do not get a vote in any of this are the small farmers, the cows, and the land. The big farms like the rule because the small farmers go broke and sell up. The companies that make the tests and the medicines like the rule because they get paid every time. The rich countries like the rule most of all, because it gives them a kind of power over every country that wants to sell them food.

A man called Charles Richet figured out the puffing part of this story a long time ago, in 1901. He got a Nobel Prize for figuring it out, in 1913. But the people who run the farms and the laws today do not talk about Charles Richet. They talk about the ruler, and the puff, and the cow that has to die.

Cellulitis

What Is Cellulitis? An Essay on the Diagnosis Without a Test and the Terrain Medicine Will Not Drain. By Unbekoming (06/04/26)

Cellulitis is diagnosed clinically by signs of redness, warmth, swelling, and tenderness without any confirmatory test. These signs lead to misdiagnosis in about one-third of cases, often confusing cellulitis with conditions such as venous stasis dermatitis.

• Bacteria such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus are rarely found in cultures but are presumed present; however, they do appear as scavengers of devitalized tissue rather than as primary causes.

• Antibiotics suppress symptoms temporarily but do not prevent recurrence once stopped, as underlying issues such as poor circulation and lymphatic damage persist and worsen with repeated episodes.

How to Explain It to a 6-Year-Old…

Imagine a sink with a blocked drain. You turn on the tap and the water can’t get out, so it fills up the sink and starts to overflow onto the bench. The bench gets wet and messy and a bit smelly.

Now imagine someone comes along and says, “The problem is the mess on the bench.” So they wipe the bench with a cloth. The bench looks clean for a minute. But the drain is still blocked, the tap is still running, and very soon the water fills up and overflows again. They wipe it again. And again. The bench never stays clean, because wiping the bench was never going to fix a blocked drain.

A leg with cellulitis is like that sink. Deep inside the leg, the tubes that are supposed to carry fluid away have stopped working, so fluid fills up and the leg goes red and puffy and warm. That redness is the body’s repair crew arriving to help, the same way your knee goes red when you scrape it. The little bacteria that show up are just the cleaners, there to tidy away the bits of tissue that got damaged. They didn’t cause the mess. They came to help clean it.

The medicine doctors usually give is like the cloth. It wipes away the redness for a little while, so the leg looks better. But it does nothing about the blocked drain inside the leg. So the fluid fills up again, and the leg goes red again, and they give more medicine, and round and round it goes.

The real answer is to unblock the drain. When doctors help the fluid drain properly, by gently squeezing the leg with special bandages, the leg stays better and the redness stops coming back. The grown-ups have even tested this and found it works far better than the medicine. They just don’t do it first. They reach for the cloth.

Childhood Vaccines

What Is Really in Childhood Vaccines. An Essay on What Gatti and Montanari Found in Forty-Four Vaccines. By Unbekoming (06/23/26)

Antonietta Gatti and Stefano Montanari tested forty four vaccines. They found metals and particles in forty three human vaccines. These included lead, tungsten, stainless steel, and other elements. None were listed in package inserts. Counts were high in some childhood vaccines. One cat vaccine had no such contamination. The particles were photographed and analyzed with a microscope. They do not dissolve in the body.

If You Were Six

Some scientists looked at the shots that doctors give to children. They looked very carefully, using a special microscope strong enough to see things much smaller than a speck of dust.

They found tiny pieces of metal in the liquid inside the shots. Some of the pieces were lead. Some were stainless steel. Some were other metals that nobody had told anyone were in the bottles. The pieces were too small for your eyes to see. You would need the special microscope to find them.

The scientists looked at forty-four different shots. Forty-three of them had the metal pieces inside. One shot did not. That clean shot was the one made for cats.

Once a tiny piece of metal goes into your arm, your body cannot get rid of it. Your body knows how to clean up many things, like old skin or the food you eat or the cut on your finger from yesterday. It does not know how to clean up metal. So the metal stays. It sits where it landed in your arm. Sometimes your blood carries it to other parts of your body.

When the body cannot clean something up, the place around it gets red and sore. If the metal does not leave, the redness does not leave either. Some of the children who got these shots got sick afterward and stayed sick for a long time. Some of them stopped being able to walk properly.

The companies that make the shots have special microscopes too. They could have looked inside their own bottles. They did not. The people whose job is to keep the shots safe never asked them to look. The cat company looked at the cat shots, and the cat shots are clean. The companies that make shots for children did not look, and the shots are not clean.

That is what the essay is about.

Dental Work — Danger of Root Canals

The Garbage Collector: Root Canals, Disease, and what the Dental Profession Refuses to Acknowledge (2022). By Robert Gammal BDS., FACNEM(DENT) - 30 Q&As - Book Review and Summary. By Unbekoming (06/25/26)

Unbekoming provides an extensive review of a book by Dr. Robert Gammal about the significant harms of a common dental procedure — root canals.

In a nutshell

Root canals leave dead teeth infected. Toxins and bacteria spread from them through the body. Dead teeth act as ongoing poison sources via nerves and other paths, causing many diseases in distant organs.

Dr. Weston A Price proved this in long-ago after twenty-five years of research. The dental profession ignored or suppressed his findings.

Dr. Robert Gammal, a traditional dentist who performed root canals for the first thirteen of his forty-year dental career, met with other dentists who knew of Price’s work. That led him to stop doing root canals and instead remove the dead teeth; he saw patient recoveries — often astonishingly rapid — from diseases including brain cancer and breast lumps, multiple sclerosis, and more. He wrote about his findings in “The Garbage Collector… (Amazon link)”

Amazon book synopsis

The dental profession is self-regulating and relies heavily on clinical observation rather than published science. Consequently, dentists still are taught to leave dead infected gangrenous tissue in the body via root canal therapy.

The dental profession refuses to acknowledge that dead teeth can cause systemic disease. Meanwhile, the medical profession remains largely unaware that their colleagues in dentistry are providing them with a substantial income.

This book aims to give you information with which to make a more informed decision about one of the common treatments that dentistry may offer you. The information may also be relevant for anyone dealing with a degenerative systemic disease.

After reading this book, you’ll know more about how dead teeth can affect your health than ninety-nine percent of dentists worldwide. You’ll also be more discerning about finding a dentist who is trained enough to help you. With cancer rates increasing, autism rates rising exponentially, and IQs dropping across the board, it’s time to take a careful look at the practices of modern dentistry.

Summary of Unbekoming’s 12-Point Summary

Root canal procedures create chronic toxin factories in the jaw by leaving dead teeth infected, leading to systemic diseases. This finding is based on historical research by Weston Price and others. Modern dentistry has concealed these risks. Each of the 12 key points from the article is below, italicized, followed by a short summary.

1. A root canal is not a treatment. It is the embalming of a corpse inside the jaw.
   Summary: Root canal fails to sterilize or seal dead tooth, creating toxin factory leaking bacteria near brain.

2. Dr Weston Price established all of this between 1900 and 1923.
   Summary: Price’s extensive research showed root-canalled teeth remain infected and cause systemic disease via focal infection.

3. The burial was institutional, not scientific.
   Summary: Focal infection theory was buried by statistical fraud and institutional denial in dental literature and textbooks.

4. The rise of modern dentistry tracks the rise of patent medicine.
   Summary: Dentistry was consolidated with profit-driven patent medicine model funded by John D. Rockefeller (and promoted by his General Education Board) in 1920s.

5. The materials sealed into a root canal are toxic to every tissue they touch.
   Summary: Root canal fillings contain carcinogens, mutagens, arsenic, mercury, and bleaches that leak systemically.

6. A dead tooth makes you sick through four simultaneous mechanisms.
   Summary: Toxicity, allergy, focal infection, and neural disruption from a dead tooth affect body constantly.

7. The thioethers and methyl mercaptans produced by a dead tooth are among the most potent carcinogens known.
   Summary: Bacterial endotoxins such as thioethers paralyze mitochondria and promote cancer over time.

8. The route from the mouth to the brain is short, well-mapped, and undeniable.
   Summary: Toxins reach brain via nerve, veins, and macrophages from dental sources.

9. The X-ray markers that dentistry uses to declare a root canal successful are the very markers that should signal alarm.
   Summary: X-ray “healing” signs actually indicate failing containment and spreading infection.

10. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the clearest documented case of a disease produced and reversed at the dental level.
    Summary: MS linked to dental mercury and infections; extractions reversed symptoms in studies.

11. The body is a self-healing organism, and healing is fast when the rubbish is removed.
    Summary: Rapid recoveries observed from eczema, tumors, MS after proper dental extractions.

12. The recovery begins with extraction done properly and ends with making informed decisions about the gap.
    Summary: Surgical extraction protocol required (using luxator to ease root out with finger pressure; sectioning multi-rooted teeth and removing roots separately); avoid implants; consider bridges, dentures, or leaving gaps as explained in the article.

How to Explain It to a 6 Year Old

Your body is the smartest thing in the world. When you cut your finger, you don’t have to tell it what to do. It just knows. It cleans the cut, it builds new skin, and a few days later your finger is back to normal. Nobody had to teach it. Your body has been doing this for a very long time.

A tooth is alive, just like your finger. Inside every tooth there is a tiny soft part with blood and nerves, and that part is what keeps the tooth healthy. When a tooth gets very sick, the soft part inside dies. Now the tooth is dead, like a dead leaf or a dead bug. A dead thing is not a healthy thing to keep close to you.

When a dentist does a thing called a root canal, they scoop out the dead part inside the tooth. Then they pour in special glue and put a lid on top. They tell you the tooth is saved. But the dead tooth is still dead. It is just hidden now, like a piece of rotten food in a lunchbox with the lid closed. The smell doesn’t go away. The rotten part doesn’t go away. It just sits there, hidden, getting more rotten.

The trouble is that your jaw is right next to your brain. The dead tooth sits in the bone of your jaw, and tiny pieces of the rotten stuff escape and travel up tiny roads called nerves, all the way into your brain and into the rest of your body. They go a little bit every day, every single day, for years and years. After a long time, the rotten bits start to make other parts of you sick. Maybe your skin gets itchy. Maybe your tummy hurts. Maybe you feel sad and you don’t know why. Nobody tells you it might be the hidden rotten tooth in your jaw, because the dentist and the doctor don’t talk to each other very much.

A long time ago, a very smart dentist named Dr Price figured all of this out. He spent twenty-five years looking at it carefully. He even did the experiment with rabbits, where he showed that the rotten bits from a sick person’s tooth could make a rabbit sick in exactly the same way. But the other dentists didn’t like what he found, because they wanted to keep doing the procedure. So they pretended he was wrong. They wrote it down in their books that he was wrong. And for the next hundred years, almost nobody knew.

Dr Gammal, who wrote this book, was a dentist for forty years. For the first thirteen years he did the root canals like everybody else, because that is what they teach you in dentist school. Then he met some clever doctors who showed him what Dr Price had found, and he stopped doing root canals. For the next twenty-seven years he did the opposite. He took out the dead teeth. And here is the amazing part. Lots of his patients got better. Some of them got better very fast. A lady who had been itchy all over for fifteen years stopped being itchy in one week. A lady with a lump in her brain had it disappear in three months. A boy with very bad blood (the kind that grown-ups call leukaemia) had his blood become normal again in one month. Their bodies knew what to do. They just needed somebody to take out the rotten tooth.

That is why Dr Gammal calls himself the garbage collector. He is not the one who heals you. Your body does that, because your body is very, very smart. He is just the one who takes out the rubbish so your body can do its job.
