Great reminder! I'd forgotten how MANY "Abuses and Usurpations" are listed in the Declaration.

But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

I think that's a reasonable theory. Physical and emotional stress from the crowding and then from the stampede itself might have caused a few heart attacks but 140? Doesn't pass the smell test. 5G or SOMETHING was involved as a trigger. It would be interesting to know how many (if any) of those who suffered a cardiac event were unjabbed.

Even the usually-intelligent Car and Driver assumes the market shift to 100% electrics is inevitable, soon. The grid will be toast long before that.

No! That would be a Nuremberg violation!

Yes, but the problem isn't necessarily terrible parents; it's ANY serious trauma. Death of a parent, for example; growing up in a war zone or other dangerous area; being molested by someone other than a family member, etc. Even good parents cannot always protect children from pain and trauma.

But yes, emotionally damaged parents are the most common cause of emotional damage to children.

Oh crap! I need to hire a proof reader. And you can't edit titles.

Thanks for the correction, /u/20-guage. (Hey, want a job? 😂)

Thanks for posting this, /u/SoMuchWinning45. The ACE study may be the most important lesson about the human condition modern science has to offer; it makes the point that childhood experiences are critically important in life. This large (over 17,000 people in the cohort) study from the 1980s deserves all the attention it can get.

Jesus' teachings about "not offending children" are strongly illuminated in light of the ACE findings.

Here is more from the article you posted -- all emphasis mine:


When the first results of the survey were due to come in, Anda was at home in Atlanta. Late in the evening, he logged into his computer to look at the findings. He was stunned. “I wept,” he says. “I saw how much people had suffered and I wept.”

This was the first time that researchers had looked at the effects of several types of trauma, rather than the consequences of just one. What the data revealed was mind-boggling.


The first shocker: There was a direct link between childhood trauma and adult onset of chronic disease, as well as mental illness, doing time in prison, and work issues, such as absenteeism.


The second shocker: About two-thirds of the adults in the study had experienced one or more types of adverse childhood experiences. Of those, 87 percent had experienced 2 or more types. This showed that people who had an alcoholic father, for example, were likely to have also experienced physical abuse or verbal abuse. In other words, ACEs usually didn’t happen in isolation.


The third shocker: More adverse childhood experiences resulted in a higher risk of medical, mental and social problems as an adult.


To explain this, Anda and Felitti developed a scoring system for ACEs. Each type of adverse childhood experience counted as one point. If a person had none of the events in her or his background, the ACE score was zero. If someone was verbally abused thousands of times during his or her childhood, but no other types of childhood trauma occurred, this counted as one point in the ACE score. If a person experienced verbal abuse, lived with a mentally ill mother and an alcoholic father, his ACE score was three.

Things start getting serious around an ACE score of 4. Compared with people with zero ACEs, those with four categories of ACEs had a 240 percent greater risk of hepatitis, were 390 percent more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema or chronic bronchitis), and a 240 percent higher risk of a sexually-transmitted disease.

They were twice as likely to be smokers, 12 times more likely to have attempted suicide, seven times more likely to be alcoholic, and 10 times more likely to have injected street drugs.

People with high ACE scores are more likely to be violent, to have more marriages, more broken bones, more drug prescriptions, more depression, more auto-immune diseases, and more work absences.

“Some of the increases are enormous and are of a size that you rarely ever see in health studies or epidemiological studies. It changed my thinking dramatically,” says Anda.

Two in nine people had an ACE score of 3 or more, and one in eight had an ACE score of 4 or more. This means that every physician probably sees several high ACE score patients every day, notes Felitti. “Typically, they are the most difficult, though the underpinnings will rarely be recognized.”

The kicker was this: The ACE Study participants were average Americans. Seventy-five percent were white, 11 percent Latino, 7.5 percent Asian and Pacific Islander, and 5 percent were black. They were middle-class, middle-aged, 36 percent had attended college and 40 percent had college degrees or higher. Since they were members of Kaiser Permanente, they all had jobs and great health care. Their average age was 57.

As Anda has said: “It’s not just ‘them’. It’s us.”

Scroll thru the substack; lots of material

Sample:

New study shows that pretty much everyone is getting heart damage from the COVID vaccines They just aren't letting you know that. In Canada, the medical community is very smart about this: they don't let doctors measure troponin levels before you are vaccinated so nobody is the wiser. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-study-shows-that-pretty-much

Thanks for the reminder. I hate it, but yes: we should keep in mind that the midterms COULD be stolen. Like many of us, I was DEAD CERTAIN that Trump was going to start his second term in 2020.

Oops.

We don't know the details of the Plan. We also don't know what the enemy is planning. We don't know how things will play out. In fact, the future is always indeterminate.

OK, now I'm adequately depressed, er, realistic. I think.

EXCELLENT post!

You've done a great job of outlining a completely plausible framework here.

I'm already not the only one in the comments to say something like this, but I couldn't help myself. Most upbeat and believable hopium I've seen all week.

Yes. The price of physical gold is suppressed by the selling of vast amounts of "paper gold", see https://greatawakening.win/p/15K6qL54bB/rigged--rob-moodys--financial-pr/

Given that, the price of physical metal is still closer to the posted "official price" than you'd expect -- meaning the public doesn't understand or appreciate the difference. Yet. Someday soon, they will . . .

Interesting and useful content plus Gold and Silver spot prices at the top of page right, along with 24 hour charts for those plus the USD.

Sounds like he's planning a shift away from advertising revenue -- not that I think many people will pay $240/yr (!) to have a Blue Check -- but it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

Trump has been touting the millions of lives he saved but I think most people, including here, are unclear about how that could be true. I think you've nailed it very precisely, and I'm sure Trump will elaborate on it when the time is right.

Another great thing here is that most pedes acknowledge their errors instead of REEEing about it in one way or another.

I love interacting with a group of sane, honest, well-informed people.

That was a surprisingly mature and healthy understanding (and action), u/changeagent -- I doubt I would have come to the realization you did at that age.

I believe that God's voice in our lives is the truth of our real selves.

Those open to hearing that voice have the moral compass that helps protect us from foolish or evil choices. I've never been one to believe in the (external) power of prayer, but I do believe this: prayer gives us practice in listening for and to the voice of God, which means listening to our real, healthy selves. We are beings made IN the image of God, after all. That doesn't mean we LOOK like Him, but rather that our souls are in harmony with His.

I've been trying to improve that harmony my whole life. I suspect you were way ahead of me, and of most people for that matter.
