I have a book on my shelf about olive leaf from 1997 titled Olive Leaf Extract: Nature's Antibiotic by Dr. Morton Walker. Printed on the cover:
The natural way to treat:
Vital invections
The common cold
Arthritis
Skin diseases
Heart trouble
And more!
Chapter 12 is titled How to Expel the Parasites Living Within Us.
My personal experience is that olive leaf extract is helpful (as an anti-viral and anti-bacterial, as a help in lowering blood pressure, and for other things) but seldom the full answer to any given problem.
My doctor, who is far from woke, who never even mentioned the jab to me or my wife, and who is always willing to talk with me about alternative treatments for anything, told me recently that after prescribing Ivermectin once, he "got into trouble" with state regulators and medical boards and it was made clear to him that if he did that again he might lose his license to practice. This is in a Blue state (with a largely Red population, but that's mail-in-voting for you), and even in Red states I hear that can happen.
Thank you, ashlanddog. This is important material. It's not new to those who have been following financial issues since before the last melt-down, but it is particularly important right now, as the next and final financial crisis before Whatever Comes After the Precipice arrives.
Yes, [they] plan to take everything we have, and they set the pseudo-legal framework to DO that in place years ago.
America is actually well situated geopolitically for isolationism; we've got everything we need to sustain ourselves without much commerce with other nations at all.
Dunno if that's actually the answer, but it IS one of the reasons America became so powerful in the first place.
Nice list! The Bible's a big book, and lists of the highlights are always interesting to me.
I have my own list (many of us do, I suspect). Mine are for when I'm feeling like I might be having trouble living up to or even remembering Jesus' most important Earthly teachings (only my opinion, of course) -- on children, on character and the Kingdom of God / Heaven (or Hell, as the case may be), and especially on loving thy neighbor:
Matthew: 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mark: 10:13: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 10:14: But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 10:15: Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Luke: 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
John: 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Highlighting this crap, and the harm it does, can only be a good thing in the long run.
Now do seed oils, emulsifiers, and other dangerous ingredients.
The additives targeted are included below:
- Yellow 6- linked to adrenal tumors (found in Lucky Charms, Trix, Froot Loops)
- Yellow 5, Yellow 6- can reportedly cause DNA mutations in white blood cells (Doritos, Ruffles, Cheetos)
- Titanium Dioxide- linked to lung cancer (cupcakes)
- Blue 1- reported concerns of causing kidney tumors (Oreos)
- Red 40- products must carry warning label in Europe, contains benzene, which is linked to blood cancers, possible (Duncan Hines 'Perfectly Moist' cake mix and icing, Pillsbury 'Funfetti' cake mix, various candies including Skittles, Sour Patch Kids and M&M's)
- Food dyes- linked to cancer and hyperactivity (Gatorade and Pedialyte)
- Yellow 5- Can cause cancer cells can grow faster upon exposure (Tostitos queso, Doritos 'Dip.'
The potential bans would force companies to remove the additives from their ingredients, which would force a drastic change to the look, taste and texture of various popular snacks.
Walking through a grocery store, a pet store, or other commercial establishment, and a customer or employee would sometimes tell me "You need a mask".
My response: "No I don't, and neither do you" and keep walking.
At the height of the COVID insanity, one woman actually asked me "Aren't you afraid?" when she saw me without a mask. My answer was "Not in the least." She seemed genuinely relieved by that.
Thanks for reminding me how intensely bizarre life was only a few years ago. Some people really WERE scared out of their minds and most of the rest were uneasy enough to not question the propaganda and instead willingly go along with it. And then there were the Harpies.
[They] are anxious to create this whole twisted nightmare all over again, but "BETTER" next time, using what they learned from the Beta test of 2020.
But 2020 was a Beta test for US, too.
NCSWIC.
NY is still itching to put folks in those camps.
And not only NY, I'm certain.
Even the far simpler and smaller programs + hardware of the 1980s did not always "do what they were programmed to do" -- thus the need for beta testing, which continues in the modern era. Programming languages themselves have bugs and unknown, unexpected elements (which can lead, for instance, to vulnerable points of entry for hackers), as does the hardware (a broad range of CPU chips over the years have been discovered to have vulnerabilities and other flaws).
Today's Large Language Models and other forms of AI are vast, complex systems almost beyond comprehension.
OP's recounting of his interactions with the Meta AI show exactly how that can play out, and I think is a good reminder that AI -- like even your word processor -- will sometimes do things neither you nor its designers wanted or expected. The difference is that an AI is so much larger and more complex than a word processor that precisely predicting its behavior in a given situation is often impossible, including for the programmers. For that matter, there are likely hundreds to thousands OF programmers for a modern AI, and the AI itself (along with other AIs, perhaps) is already doing some -- and eventually perhaps all -- of the programming. No single person or entity has the entire zillion lines of code (in all the various modules) in mind, much less the constantly changing data it has to work with and the unpredictable queries the program must respond to.
