Angela Chao was heavily involved with the CCP as the CEO of one of China's largest bulk shipping companies. No business of that size operates in China without the blessing of the CCP. I am sure it was just a coincidence that her sister Elaine ended up being transportation secretary under Trump - no doubt one of many dirty deals Trump had to make with the old Turdle. In addition, Angela had been on the board of the Bank of China where she was a guarantor of loans made to the now bankrupt Evergrande which recently has been forced into liquidation by a Hong Kong court. Lots to uncover with this Ponzi scheme when it comes to US creditors. Shortly before Chao's death, her husband Jim Breyer, a huge China bull, suspended his company's investments in China due to the DoD's sanction list of Chinese companies tied to the Chinese military. Both Angela and her husband had deep ties to the CCP up the wazoo. Nothing to see here. Watch the wives.

China will take the contract for repair because the Houthis will leave them alone. We have always suspected that the repair lines China puts down have spy devices. Was this the goal all along? Asymmetrical warfare.

Just had another X6.3 solar flare from the area we are watching - AR 3590. CME unlikely. It is appearing that this sun spot is busy.

I didn't have problems either. If this was a broad event like what they are trying to fear monger, it would have taken more phones out than just AT&T with a few outliers. Something else all together is happening and they may need a diversion or a distraction - also a bit of preprogramming.

We had two X1 class solar flares yesterday from the same sun spot - AR 3590. There were NO CMEs produced by this flare activity that would have ejected material towards earth. They were simply non-earth facing flares so there should not be any disruptions to cell service. The radiation storm from a solar flare only affects the sunlit side of the earth in the direct path of the storm within minutes unlike a CME that ejects material and can take a few days to reach earth. Sometimes the radiation storm from a flare can impact navigation systems and radio - but not cellular network communications and the power grid. We are continuing to watch this particular area as it faces earth. Nothing to see here. It is unlikely that disrupted cellular communications can be attributed to the currently reported solar activity.

They are mostly Dems and the Republicans that are there don't seem to do much. Thank goodness our Legislature only meets every two years - although the Dems are trying to change that. We did have a legislature a few years ago that was one vote shy of a super majority for the Dems. Why? I blame the Republicans. For years the Legislature had more of a balance between the two parties moving by a couple of seats either way every few years. Even our US Senators represented both parties - one of each. With the recession the Republican controlled Legislature, at the instigation of the RINO governor, pushed through a business margins tax. This unfair percentage allocation levied against certain classes of business hit smaller companies really hard. Of course the hospitality and tourist industries had a very low percentage - think casinos. The passage of this tax simply ate up the narrow profit margins of these small businesses. It was shocking the number of of them that closed in the following couple of years. Some of these local shops had been around for decades and were a familiar sight in the community.

The voter backlash against the Republicans was huge. The Legislature swung Dem and has not changed. I had the opportunity to speak with a couple members of the Legislature that were present at the time and asked them what the hell they were thinking when they voted for that piece of crap. I was not impressed with their answer. The governor pushed it and assured them it would be okay despite their concerns. They knew it was a bad bill but voted for it anyway. Now we have the Dems in power and once they get a foothold, they don't let go. They rig the system even more than it was before. It is Nevada after all.

My voter history from both the Nevada 2022 midterm and the 2020 primary shows that I voted by mail. I have always voted in person. Shenanigans afoot. The fraudulent and stolen 2022 midterm placed the current Secretary of State in office who says that the problem, now brought to their attention, is just a glitch. Not only that, but I went to vote in the recent Republican caucus and I could not. Nevada has a closed primary and somehow my voter registration listed me as non-partisan. WTF? The poll worker told me that they had seen several people unable to cast votes because of a different party affiliation. I have been a registered Republican for years. So make sure about your voter history and your current party. Make sure it is accurate.

Take nothing for granted. We know the steal is going to have to be on an unimaginable scale for them to pull it off again. Unfortunately for many Republican voters, we don't see the corruption and fraud until after the fact simply because our minds don't work that way. We have to get ahead of them before they can do the damage. No doubt we will see more of the same crap they pulled before, but on a much larger scale.

Any food product you purchase that contains water is probably from a facility in a municipality that uses fluoridated water. So even if there is a filter for drinking water, people are still getting fluoride from processed food and beverages. I read a study over 20 years ago that checked the fluoride levels in baby and toddler foods. It shocked me how much fluoride was in products that parents feed their children. The meat products were the worst. Sodas and other soft drinks are not good either unless you know it was bottled at a facility where the municipal water supply is not fluoridated. That is the case where I live that has a 7up/Dr Pepper/Snapple bottler located here. We have fought hard over the years to keep our water unfluoridated.

I checked my voting history and it says I voted by mail for the 2022 midterm and the primary in 2020. I have never voted by mail. I would suggest that all voters check your voting history in your appropriate state. Nevada Voter Registration information

I think you may have hit the nail on the head there fren. NY is not a very friendly business or investor climate.

I also wonder how many of those property investments are linked to imploding Chinese real estate developers and investment schemes? They may want to divest themselves before the house of cards starts to fall. Downtown LA is stuck with a huge Chinese rotten tail development project where the developer went bankrupt - Oceanwide Plaza. The taxpayers are going to end up paying the check for doing something with the eyesore. Chinese real estate development is in a tailspin and it reaches overseas. The decline has been evident for years, so smart investors have been decoupling before they get caught up in the tsunami of defaults and are left holding the bag - especially pension funds that in the past have held a significant share in Chinese equities.

This kid already had issues mentally and the school capitalized upon it. A boy with an eating disorder already speaks of body dysmorphia, so it is not a huge leap to move to trans with a little push. I am sure if the parents were already seeking help through the traditional psychological and social services establishment there is a good possibility this teen was also on psych meds - and none of them are good, especially when given to kids and teens. I would bet money that this teen when placed in the system was probably given meds because that is what the system does. This boy may have also been given hormones as well.

However, this recent problem did not simply start with the issues currently being fought over in court - that are indeed very serious with ramifications far beyond just this family. What led to where they are? It begins with a series of events that often start before birth. No doubt the kid was probably pumped full of all the poisons on the childhood vaxxine schedule given the fact that this teen was in a public school. Safe and effective, right? Add to the toxic injections, the psychological and hormonal dysregulation caused by all the plastic related environmental xenoestrogen exposure in combination with a plethora of processed food additives, and you have a recipe for exactly what has happened here. One thing leads to another. It is all a step by step coordinated attack to destroy our children which in turn destroys our future - as a nation and as humans.

This is a war for our children and it needs to be thought of tactically in exactly those terms. Inaction is not a defense strategy and will not save our children anymore than closing the front door will save you when the bombs start to drop. Parents, protect your children first by educating yourself about the enemy and the weapon systems this enemy uses. Take children out of the meat grinder public school system that will turn their brain to mush along with monitoring screen time. Public school however is preceded by the damage from environmental toxins such as a bad diet and childhood vaxxines that then can lead to issues that may require more poison from medications. When did we as a society start to accept children on meds as "normal?" Any parent that is not defensively proactive against this assault is burying their head in the sand by thinking that someone else is going to fix the problem or it will somehow go away on its own.

I am not dissing on these parents. They are more than likely good people doing the best they can based on what they know. However, this poor kid is a mess and it did not happen overnight and it is being compounded given the current situation inflicted by the government and its minions. This is not an uncommon state of being for many of our children and young adults and it is starting to become generational - with each generation becoming more dysfunctional than the previous one. This problem at its root is not an issue over religious rights in the battle against the nanny state - this is just a symptom of the underlying disease. At is core lies a much deeper problem that is not being discussed concerning what is happening to our children's mental and physical health; a problem that leads to many heartbreaking tragedies like what has occurred to this family.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, the bioavailability of nutrients when consuming plants, especially minerals, proteins, and fat soluble vitamins, are lacking in comparison to animal products no matter how much they try to say otherwise. The only way a vegan is going to avoid eventually becoming malnourished is by supplementation. The majority do not supplement beyond B12. Just taking some B12 is not going to cut it. Supplementation is a whole other discussion in itself regarding quality and effectiveness - they are not all created equal. Of course there are always outliers that do not seem to have issues, but they are in the minority.

As a clinician I was in a unique position to do comparisons between patient cohorts. Some of my background was in research. What I saw in my practice among my vegan patients caught my attention - especially considering this was a population focused so much on trying to be healthy. The athletically inclined raw vegans were the worst. These vegans In their mid forties often had bodies with little muscle mass and their bones were trashed. The lower extremity shatter types of fractures that required surgical intervention resulted from non traumatic related everyday activities - something I would have expected to see more from a geriatric patient. It appeared to me that this particular vegan cohort had a much higher level of these types of severe fractures versus the rest of my patient base. That was concerning and it got me taking a closer look.

My vegan patients, due to the lack of muscle mass, body fat, and possibly some level of nerve dysfunction, also often had problems retaining body heat and felt cold even in the summer. They didn't seem to think this was a problem because they thought they were healthy. Personally, these vegans at that point appeared to have a lot in common with anyone else suffering from an eating disorder. I once went to meet with the director of a new dietetic program at the local college to discuss the program. It was in the middle of summer and she had a floor heater. The room was like a sauna. She was a hard core vegan and also was a runner. This person was in charge of educating dietetic techs and the like that often end up in nursing homes and hospitals implementing diets and counseling according to FDA recommendations which currently is pushing a heavy plant based diet. I have been around long enough to have seen this shift over the years.

Education in organic and biochem is not lost on me. It always amazes me that this basic foundational science seems to be thrown out the window when moving into the applied science of many medically related fields. I often find myself at odds with others - not only when I was in college, but also professionally throughout the years. Diets are just one area that I do not agree with the mainstream narrative and consensus. Glad to see there are many like minded individuals in the house.

Thanks again.

Yes, this is a battle over our health initiated by the powers that should not be. I have been in health care long enough to see the changes and the push towards plant based diets. When have they ever been truly concerned about our health? That should tell us something when considering their latest direction to once again change the American diet and claim it is healthier.

The gut biome enterotypes shift and can be different between a person that eats meat versus a person that has a plant based diet. The gut biome has a huge effect on brain and immune function. Beside the gut-brain connection, the brain needs fat to be healthy - especially animal fats that contain cholesterol. Ever wonder why cholesterol lowering drugs and low fat diets seem to be associated with dementia? The problem is not dietary cholesterol intake, it is chronic high amounts of dietary carbs that elevate fasting insulin levels, which in turn drives inflammatory processes. Cholesterol is also a necessary hormonal backbone. Cholesterol is necessary for survival. The medical/pharm/agricultural industrial complex has worked hard to remove animal fats from our diets and replace them with carbs and bad oils. I think herein lies the answer to your inquiry.

Very good response and you hit many of the key issues associated with vegan diets.

Over time there are malabsorption issues that can, and often do, take their toll. As a clinician for over 25 years I can honestly say that my vegan patients presented with some specific health challenges that manifested at a much younger age than their meat eating cohort equivalents. This was especially true for raw vegans that engaged in high level athletic activities. The younger they were when they started on their path towards veganism, the younger these problems seem to manifest. Many of them hit the wall between 40 and 50. Some of them appeared no different than a cancer or geriatric patient due to wasting syndrome. I had a 40 year old raw vegan runner that was malnourished and frail. She had the muscle mass and fragile skeletal structure of an 80 year old woman and looked many years older than her chronological age. She refused to believe that she was suffering from her raw vegan diet compounded by intense running because she thought it was healthy. Talk about cognitive dissonance. Her running abruptly stopped when she suffered a bad shatter type of leg fracture that required surgery. This was not uncommon with my vegan patients that were runners.

Wonder why strictly vegan men, especially when consuming raw plants, are often underweight and simpy? Alongside the malnutrition of essential proteins, fats, and minerals, there is the problem of enterolignans - specifically phytoestrogens. Besides all the environmental pseudo estrogen exposure from chemicals, vegan diets drive estrogen receptor activation thereby contributing to hormonal imbalances for not only men, but women as well.

As you already stated, plant based polyphenols lack bioavailability. It is essentially a crap shoot as to how the body utilizes these polyphenolic compounds due to the interplay between gut microbiome and gut metabolites. The gut-brain connections here also cannot be understated - a huge topic in itself. Humans lack the enzymes necessary to break down cellulose and hemicellulose. Cooking plants helps to break down the cellulose to some extent but this process also removes nutrients. So even though some lab has identified a possible beneficial nutrient of a particular plant, in practice how much of that nutrient contained in a plant is actually taken up by the human body? In order to even come close to meet human nutritional needs, a person would have to consume massive amounts of plant material. This may bring onboard some nutrition, but as you already stated, besides the nutrients there is also an increased amount of other lignans or other compounds contained in that plant that may not be beneficial when consumed in larger amounts.

Now, this is not to say that in order to combat certain health challenges like obesity, cancer, diabetes, etc., that a vegan diet cannot be helpful. But, a vegan diet is not healthy over the long term. Humans are not strict herbivores. We eat animals that have already broken down and absorbed vital nutrients that humans then consume in a form that is more nutritionally dense than from the original source plants - providing that the animal sources themselves are clean. Give me a grass fed organic steak any day of the week.

Thank you for your informative comments.

TWC was started to be an avenue for doctors, pharmacists, and other related medical professionals that have been black listed to find some kind of job and revenue stream. No doubt they are having difficulty running a business like this - it is a first for many of them so I would expect some bumps along the way. They themselves even admit it. Therefore, if people want to support what they are trying to do in offering alternative forms of health care delivery, then there needs to be some patience while they work out the kinks.

The video mentioned Dr Ryan Cole somewhere in the beginning. He is a pathologist who blew off what the embalmers were saying in a very dismissive manner way back when this stuff was starting to surface. Now he is looking into these clots. Hmmm. Cole has also tried to control the vaxxine narrative by dismissing any claims about what is in these kill shots beyond focusing on "spike protein."

Both the Mueller investigation and the subsequent Durham investigation were nothing more than damage control in order to cover up and deep six all the loose ends because the Obama/Clinton administration were careless and were assured she could not lose. But, it seems like they didn't get some of the most critical evidence of their crimes. Panic.

However, I do have some questions as to why FOX is allowing this to be reported. All mainstream media is controlled and nothing comes out unless the powers that should not be want it to be out. Are they giving others of their same ilk the head's up that there is still very damaging evidence floating around?

Most are economic refugees which is not a valid reason for immigration to the US. In fact, unless one has a means of support, they are not entitled to immigrate. That is why they are here under a different status than refugee. Asylum status however, may throw a monkey wrench into the works getting these invaders deported. Some of these asylum cases will not be heard for years and most asylum seekers do not even show up for the hearings. I do not think US immigration law will allow deportation unless there are other circumstances like violent criminal activity while one is waiting for asylum status. The Dems knew what they were doing when they went the asylum route. Those illegals that snuck into the US without turning themselves over to Border Control can be deported if caught. So this may be more difficult then it appears.

The situation you speak of is occuring all over. Speculators from private persons with money, like the Chinese, all the way to institutional and investment speculators are snatching up properties worldwide - so this is not just a US problem for average people that now find themselves unable to live in their own communities due to the increases. Entities that come in without financing and buy properties outright are driving up valuations beyond the reach of everyday people essentially forcing the common people either to become renters or homeless - a modern day feudal system in the making.

Tangible assets like real estate are where people park their money when other financial instruments seem too volatile. The average person on the other hand simply wants a place to live. The Chinese in particular see real estate as a means of not only holding wealth, but also making profit. With highly leveraged real estate development contributing around 1/3 of the Chinese economy, investment in real estate has been the Chinese citizens' primary way to achieve wealth - or so they thought. The real estate sector, along with foreign investment withdrawal, is currently in freefall which is taking down the rest of the economy.

Profit at all cost has become the Chinese religion so to speak under CCP rule. Very little concern is given to those hurt in the pursuit of profit - it is every person for themselves. This mindset goes beyond just the upper classes and is endemic throughout the society. Throughout history even the Chinese emperors made attempts to rein in corruption without success. This kind of self serving attitude and focus on financial gain has destroyed Chinese society and culture, and unfortunately, this kind of greed with Chinese characteristics is being exported to the rest of the world on top of our own greed. Our one saving grace however is that at least our society in general still cares for one another. But sadly, with all the influx of people from outside our own culture is eroding what really is at the core of what makes us great - our care and compassion for other human beings.
