I was the opposite.

Some of us listened intently and immediately clocked the bull shit. I remember as a child arguing with my teachers about particular 'facts' they were telling us. One I remember specifically was the 'fact' that our planetary system held the only planets in the universe, (There are no other planets anywhere!!) and that the only planet with life on it was ours.

I remember saying that it could not be true and that we just didn't have good enough telescopes to see them. The teacher just shook her head in sympathy and said, 'No. We've looked and looked. There are no other planets!'

Then 27 years later when the first extrasolar planet was discovered, I stood up in my home and shouted, "I knew it!' Then over the years the number of extrasolar planets has grown into numbers that are uncountable.

Another incident was in church. I disliked very much what the Catholic priest was telling us about ourselves - we were covered in original sin and should forever beg for forgivenes. But when I asked, 'What sin? And how was I born with it?' The answer was to 'read the bible'. If the priest didn't know, then how was I going to find it myself? I vehemently objected to being branded 'guilty' for something I had nothing to do with!

And there was the constant prayer in which we all had to say, 'I am not worthy' while begging for forgiveness. As an innocent child I asked, 'Why am I not worthy? I am a good, obedient child!' There was no answer.

And so forth. I always felt so bad and angry after church I vowed to never go back once I got old enough to choose for myself.

If you don't mind, I'd love to ask you a few questions.

What were your clues or symptoms that told you that you had this?

What do you see different about yourself from others now as an adult with this condition?

Have you been able to obtain and hold down jobs with this difference?

And, has it affected your ability to make friends or have romantic relationships?

This statement right here is the absolute truth:

Hollywood has always been the CIA’s preferred delivery mechanism for acclimating the public to paradigm shifts. Before the public accepts a new reality, they need to have already imagined it through fiction. This is basic psychological operations doctrine—reduce the shock of revelation by pre-exposing the population to the concept in a controlled, emotionally-managed format.

Look how gorgeous that marble pattern is. It looks like sometime in the past, it had been painted white to cover up graffiti or other filth. I'm so glad the original beauty has been restored!

I just looked up images of that hotel. Wow! It is a beauty. So many exquisite aspects. Tremendously well designed. I don't know how much Trump did in the construction, remodel or refurbishing, but whatever he did, it is spectacularly beautiful. Check it out:

I found this which explains it nicely:

It was turmoil inside CBS News all day Monday as stunned executives and journalists at one of the leading news brands in the world grappled with questions swirling about their own organization with no answers:

Will “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley be fired?

If he’s fired, will others at “60 Minutes” quit?

Will new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton stay?

And what on earth was CBS News chief Bari Weiss attempting to accomplish with these mass firings at “60 Minutes” – if she’s not aiming to simply destroy the show?

“Shell shocked. Gobsmacked,” were the reactions noted inside the 57th Street CBS News building, according to a news insider. “People were frightened.”

The explosive exchange between Pelley and Bilton was simply not the kind of interaction that anyone has seen at CBS News, a network focused on world leaders, war and revolution, social issues, politics and corruption. It is emphatically not a place where colleagues attack one another in the open.

According to a leaked recording, things quickly came to a head between Pelley and the new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton in a group meeting Monday morning. During the meeting, Pelley said of Weiss, who appointed Bilton, “She’s murdering ‘60 Minutes.’ She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”

The comments underscore the level of frustration not just from Pelley, but a wider CBS News staff bombarded with multiple rounds of layoffs, shake-ups and tension-filled confrontations over the last eight months. The result has been nothing but skepticism and distrust over Weiss, leading to Monday’s outburst.

But did Pelley go too far?

“What he did today was a firing offense,” said one senior individual on Monday evening.

Bilton walked out of the meeting after assuring Pelley, “I have no problem taking a job in a place that I am not welcome in.”

The new executive producer then addressed the “60 Minutes” correspondent directly, telling him before exiting the meeting, “Scott, I’m not intimidated by you. I look forward to talking to you in a one-on-one setting as these meetings are scheduled. And enjoy the bagels.”

Weiss herself was planning to attend the meeting, and was warned of an impending clash with staff, so she stayed away, insiders told me.

If Pelley is fired, one said, others will almost certainly quit. That is, even though his outburst was “an unthinkable act of treason.”

If Bilton stays, as he presumably will, the organization will try to muddle its way forward, damaged and listing and leaking to the gossip columns. Meanwhile, no answers were forthcoming about why Weiss was so determined to burn “60 Minutes” down.

“I’ve been racking my brain,” said one executive, ignoring the argument that Weiss was trying to curry favor with the Trump administration.

A parallel narrative among non-CBS broadcast and other journalists burned across texts and phone message lines all day.

Hiring Bilton was “a preposterous decision to decapitate the proven leadership of the No. 1 show and replace it with a dilettante with no TV or leadership experience and a bunch of mumbo jumbo ideas about being disruptive,” said one former broadcast network chief, speaking on condition of anonymity. “It’s arrogant, stupid and they will fail.”

Q told us about that now, didn't he? Especially about G. Soros and his 500 NGOs.

If 50% were positive, it might be round the clock news, but maybe it wouldn't because tourism is a very big part of that place's livelihood. You don't want to scare the people too much. Now, since RFK Jr. has gone there in person and spoke with the local authorities in the last few days/weeks, i.e., at the halfway point in 2026, I'm gonna assume he got the latest numbers.

It is starting to become an issue. See this article with stats from 2024:

Meat, dairy allergies from tick bites "skyrocketing" on Martha's Vineyard, expert says

There's a new medical issue on Martha's Vineyard, and it's impacting the way people eat. It's known as "alpha-gal syndrome," and is not a tick-borne illness, but rather an allergy in response to a tick bite.

"It's skyrocketing across the island," explained Patrick Roden-Reynolds, a biologist and tick researcher on Martha's Vineyard.

The allergy can come in response to a bite from a Lone Star tick, which are common in the south but have recently shown up in large numbers on the Vineyard - due to a combination of climate and an unusually large deer population, experts say.

"Alpha-gal syndrome has been so explosive on Martha's Vineyard that pretty much it comes up in every conversation that I have, ticks or alpha-gal syndrome, even without folks knowing what I do for work," explained Lea Hamner, an epidemiologist on the island.

Hamner provided WBZ with a graph that shows the increase in positive allergy testing on the island - from 32 in 2021 to more than 500 positive tests in 2024.

And then there's this from yesterday :

Cases of alpha gal have been rising across the U.S., but Martha’s Vineyard is getting hit especially hard. CNN's Meg Tirrell visited the summertime destination to find out why, and how the island is adapting.

In 2025, those who came in for testing for Alpha Gal, 742 were positive or 43.9% of those who were tested. (No stats yet for 2026).

Did you read my two comments on that post you reference? If not, please do. See:

And regards to where to get topical Ivermectin, just order 1.87% horse paste from Amazon or Chewys.com or similar pet or tractor supply. See:

https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=4d9a49d8-394f-46b3-883c-733d88c2c257

And also I truly think the topical freezing with Dr. Scholl's freeze away is your best option right now. You can freeze the spot and it will kill the thing at the roots and there will be no scar. I have used it on many troubling spots on myself.

I had this saved:

Dr. William Makis & Dr. John Campbell - IVERMECTIN and FENBENDAZOLE REPURPOSED for CANCER and OTHER THINGS

https://youtu.be/QBnT8es28WY

Renowned radiologist, oncologist, and cancer researcher Dr. William Makis highlights the diverse applications of Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent with various mechanisms of action. Dr. Makis shares how the topical use of Ivermectin has shown promising outcomes in treating skin cancers and severe acne, with anecdotal evidence of skin cancer lesions shrinking and disappearing after a few months of application.

Additionally, patients with challenging skin conditions like cystic acne have found relief with topical Ivermectin after exhausting other treatment options. The drug's topical application has also demonstrated encouraging results in reducing nodules, lipomas, and even cancerous lymph nodes in breast cancer patients.

Yes. Too long to get into, but I have had very good success with skin issues with using horse paste gel applied topically. Sometimes I've used an entire syringe every day for a week to cover my skin hives, rash, etc. Now, I recommend always taking it 3x weekly by mouth, while also applying topically to hit it from all sides.

For a single mole or bump of concern, I also have had great success with Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away aerosol nitrogen cans to freeze the spot. Sometimes you have to freeze that spot multiple times a day until it forms a big blister. Then, it will then scab and the offending bump or mole will disappear. The spot will be pink for a while, but leave no scar at all, unlike have the area cut out!

If the spot(s) re-manifest, freeze again. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts to get the depth of the root in its entirety.

Both work fantastically.

Does the same for me. Then when I try again, it says 'age restricted'. So, as I'm not a Twitter user, I tried to sign in under Nitter and it just sits there.

Maybe you can copy and paste the text into a comment here so the rest of us can read it?

All dark-haired Middle Eastern types.

2 were carrying sifting trays (I think). A few had shovels, headlamps.

Are they drug or human smuggling, or digging and placing explosives?

Digging under important infrastructure to gain access from below?

I don't like this at all.
