15 years ago, my triglycerides were through the roof (> 500). Lovaza, a prescription fish oil, was given to me for two or three months. My doctor had lots of free samples of it since it was new. In three months, my triglycerides fell below 100. Fish oil is some powerful stuff, for sure.

Edit: my daily dose was 4g, just like what your doctor recommended.

I doubt it. Most of the guys I worked with were highly intelligent when it came to communications. The atmosphere manipulates signals all the time, especially electromagnectic signals, but this was in the mid 2000s, so who knows. It happened a couple of times a year. If I remember correctly, it had more to do with the satellite being lined up directly in front of the sun than anything else.

Many moons ago, I worked for a cable company. There actually are a couple of times per year where the radiation from solar storms interferes with the satellites causing signal degredation. It would last a few days to a week at most, but they would remind us all week right before it was expected to occur so that we were prepared to inform customers on what was going on.

Once upon a time ago, there was this thing called The Constitution, which explicitly states any laws made in conflict with The Constitution are unconstitutional and thereby null and void. When our government still understood this...those were the days!

Yep. Found this:

Jay Robert Pritzker (born January 19, 1965) is an American businessman, philanthropist, attorney, venture capitalist, and politician serving as the 43rd governor of Illinois since 2019. A member of the wealthy Pritzker family, which owns the worldwide hotel chain Hyatt, Pritzker is based in Chicago.

Found it. It was Tom Pritzker, with Hyatt Hotels. I wonder if there's any relation with this one? Seems like a pretty unique name.

Wasn't that name Pritzker mentioned in that video posted yesterday that Gen. Flynn retweeted about Pizzagate?

I wrote several papers about the keto diet in college. The gist of it all is that all carbs (no matter the source outside of fiber and sugar alcohols, of course) are converted into sugar during digestion. Some break down more rapidly than others causing a rapid increase in blood sugar levels followed by a rapid increase in insulin as a response. Some break down much slower causing a gradual increase in blood sugar with a gradual insulin response.

Causing a sharp raise in blood sugar/insulin response repeatedly over time is what leads to insulin resistance and subsequently type 2 diabetes if nothing changes. Over time, your body has to produce and release an increasing amount of insulin in order for it to have the same effect that a little bit used to. Eventually, this wears out your pancreas and it becomes unable to continue producing insulin.

Your body breaks down carbs first, converts them to glycogen, and uses it to repair your body as well as replacing depleted energy that was stored in your body. Whatever is leftover is then stored inside of your fat cells for use later. If you're constantly consuming large amounts of carbs and fat, then the leftover carbs, protein, and fat all get stored in your fat cells for later.

The ketogenic diet reverses this. The carnivore diet would be a form of ketogenic diet. It doesn't happen immediately, just like getting to where you are didn't happen immediately. A doctor in the 1910s to 1920s stumbled upon it when trying to come up with a way to help his patients with epilepsy. He found that a fast followed by a carb restricted diet either reduced the frequency of seizures or eliminated them altogether. It wasn't until many years later that the weight loss effect became known.

Carbs are inflammatory and cause many health issues. The tin foil hat version of history points towards the 50s and 60s as the turning point in history leading to the obesity epidemic seen today. What changed? A congressional committee was looking into why so many of their colleagues were starting to have heart attacks. Using bad science (or purposefully bad science), fat was given the blame.

What was the recommended diet after that study? Think about the food pyramid introduced in the early 90s. Their recommendations were for a little bit of fat, moderate protein, and a heavy dose of oats and other carbs as the majority. Remember, all carbs except fiber and sugar alcohols are turned into sugar inside of your body. Does fat make you fat? Nope. Carbs do. The pyramid is upside down from what it should be.

Think about all of the diseases that are increasingly seeing record numbers since then. What changed? We replaced fat with sugar. What does cancer love? Sugar.

If you want to reverse type 2 diabetes/pre-diabetes and lose a massive amount of body fat and keep it off, then follow a keto diet. 50g or less of carbs per day, moderate protein, and as much fat (preferably good fats) as you can stomach. As long as you limit your carbs (I do 20-30 per day), get some protein and enough fat, calories won't matter so much. Your body will stop using sugar for fuel and begin breaking body fat down into ketones for fuel. Your body will break down its fat stores, and your fat cells will shrink as a result. You won't get sugar highs and crashes. Your labs will improve drastically. You'll feel the best you ever have once the sugar withdrawals subside.

As a side note, type 1 diabetics shouldn't do this at all. Following a keto diet will lead to a fatal condition for type 1 diabetics called ketoacidosis, though I'm sure you all are already aware of that.

This is as brief as possible of an overview of keto as well as the obesity epidemic. It goes much deeper if you're interested in learning more about it. I'm super ADD, so hopefully I wasn't all over the place 😁

Maybe CO2 affects the lizard people, and that's why they are trying to reduce the amount in the atmosphere 🤔

The question here is, though, is the metadata different each time the image is downloaded, or is it always the same?

If we get people downloading his images, it would be good to know whether the key is the same for each photo no matter who downloads it, or does it change each time someone else downloads it.

If the same photo downloaded by 1000 different people produces the same key, then this will work to find the right one.

If each person gets a different key for the same photo, though, then this will be a wild goose chase.

Unless, he shared a photo elsewhere (X, blockchain, etc...) that was downloaded from FB. Then, that wouldn't matter. That image would certainly contain that key as it was pulled from FB by John and posted elsewhere.

That would be the easiest way to do it, for sure, but another way (and extremely tedious way) would be to find every image he uploaded and get the fbmd key from each image. Find the image that matches that key, find the answer.

So after some research, it appears to be the metadata that Facebook adds to photos that are uploaded (edit: or downloaded for tracking where the image goes) to their platform. I haven't found anything that points towards how to search for the image using the metadata key, but if I was taking an educated guess here, he left something in a photo that he uploaded to Facebook that could be found by using the many programs used to get the fbmd from the images.

This would be similar to using a checksum to identify the correct image. Find the image with that metadata key, find the answer.

ChatGPT: The hexadecimal key within FBMD typically refers to metadata embedded within an image uploaded to Facebook. To decode this metadata, one could use specialized software or tools designed to extract information from images. There are various image analysis or metadata extraction tools available online or as standalone software that can interpret this hexadecimal key to reveal details like camera information, location, date, and other technical specifications embedded in the image file.

Me: Is there a way to use the hex code to find the image?

ChatGPT: The hexadecimal code in FBMD typically serves as a reference or identifier within Facebook's system rather than a direct link to the image. It's used to associate metadata with the image within Facebook's database. Unfortunately, the hexadecimal code itself doesn't typically provide a direct means to find or access the image outside of Facebook's platform.

FBMD, according to ChatGPT as well as searching the web appears to be Facebook Metadata.

What is the HPTA system?

Natural testosterone production relies on a balance of hypothalamus hormones including gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), pituitary hormones including luteinizing hormone (LH), and the testicles where testosterone is produced. This is called the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testicular axis, or HPTA.
