A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit

Jewish-American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, says he witnessed the aftermath of Israeli soldiers tying two Palestinian children’s hands behind their backs and burying them alive at Nasser Hospital, their cries silenced beneath the dirt.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke speaks after release from prison today

Teacher Enoch Burke was released from prison this morning.

Judge Brian Cregan said he was releasing Enoch Burke from prison because the Disciplinary Appeal Panel (DAP) process, set up to hear Enoch Burke’s appeal of his purported dismissal, is over.

Judge Cregan is fully aware of the gross injustice of the DAP process in Enoch Burke’s case. Enoch Burke was deceived into sitting in front of Claire Callanan as Chair of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel. Claire Callanan is married to Lyndon McCann SC, the chief legal adviser to the Church of Ireland, and holds high office herself in the Church of Ireland. Wilson’s Hospital School is a Church of Ireland school. In no way was Claire Callanan an ‘independent’ Chair.

It is shocking that Judge Cregan knows this, and yet accepts the findings of this biased panel.

Judge Cregan also said he was releasing Enoch Burke as it is now the school holidays and therefore Enoch is not a danger to the children at the school. Enoch Burke received nothing but kindness and goodwill from the children of Wilson’s Hospital School. We believe Judge Cregan is fully aware of this but nonetheless refuses to acknowledge it.

We have seen the recent scenes of depravity at the Dublin Pride Parade with men dressed as dogs and barking, satanists parading and other perverted displays. This is the filth which children are being taught in schools across the country, yet a High Court judge believes Enoch Burke is the danger. This is a disgrace.

Neoliberal economists like Krugman loved China when it was driving a sharp secular rise in US corporate profit margins at the expense of US working classes.

Krugman changing his tune suggests neoliberals fear China is beginning to threaten some major western corporation profits.

Go carnivore, your LDL climbs, and your doctor reaches for the prescription pad. Here is the part he skips.

LDL sitting in your blood is inert. It turns dangerous only once something damages it.

Oxidised LDL builds plaque. Seed oils oxidise it.

Glycated LDL builds plaque. Sugar glycates it.

Leave the particle clean and it does its job. Damage it and the artery wall starts laying down plaque.

So the number was only ever half the story. The damage is the other half.

Two ingredients light that fire. The fragile fat in seed oils, which oxidises at the faintest heat. And chronically high blood sugar, which glycates the particle from within.

Carnivore contains neither. Nothing to oxidise, nothing to glycate.

They taught you to fear the smoke and never once mention the fire.

Carnivore raises the smoke and quietly removes the fire.

Watch what an Asian country does the moment it gets rich. It goes straight for the meat, the milk and the eggs.

Post-war Japan was a shorter, leaner nation living mostly on rice and fish.

Then the economy took off. Meat, dairy and eggs poured onto the plate. Every schoolchild was handed a daily glass of milk under a campaign that translated as a glass of milk to save the nation.

In half a century the average Japanese teenager gained more than ten centimetres in height, and the country climbed to one of the longest life expectancies on earth.

South Korea did the same thing, two decades behind, and its children shot up so fast they overtook their Japanese peers in height.

North Korea, same genes, denied the same food, stayed shorter. The height gap between the two Koreas is real, and you can measure it in centimetres.

China got rich and did the identical thing. Meat consumption soared. The children grew.

Every time, the moment the money arrived, the animal protein followed, and the people got taller and stronger.

Now here is the part the diet studies would rather you skipped.

Researchers pooled eight Asian cohorts, nearly three hundred thousand people. Red meat was tied to no rise in death at all. In men it tracked with less heart disease. In women, less cancer.

The frightening meat-and-death correlation shows up in American data and quietly disappears in Asian data.

Because in the West, the heavy meat eater also tends to smoke, drink, skip the veg and deep fry the lot. In Asia, meat arrived as the reward for getting richer and healthier.

So when a plant-based study needs meat to look deadly, it knows exactly which population to survey.

It picks the one where the steak comes with a cigarette and a side of chips.

1st July - Feast of Saint Oliver Plunkett

The Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland, successor to Saint Patrick, was martyred for his Catholic faith

The depraved savagery of his martyrdom took place at Tyburn, London, he was hanged, drawn and quartered, his dismembered remains set on fire and buried in the ground before his head was brought back to his native Ireland

At his canonisation in 1975, Pope Paul VI greeted the pilgrims in Irish:

'Dia is muire Dhíbh, a chlann Phádraig! Céad mile fáilte rómhaibh! Tá Naomh nua againn inniu: Comharba Phádraig, Olibhéar Naofa Ploinéad. (God and Mary be with you, family of Saint Patrick! A hundred thousand welcomes! We have a new Saint today: the successor of Saint Patrick, Saint Oliver Plunkett)'

Everyone seems convinced they are living through uniquely stressful times. They are, in fact, living through the most comfortable era in human history, and the gap between those two facts is quietly ruining them.

Look at what you actually woke up to. A warm bed, a roof that held, a tap that gave clean water without a three mile walk to a well, a fridge holding more calories than a medieval village saw in a week. No plague at the door, no army on the ridge, no steward come to take a third of your grain for a lord you never met. The chance that you or anyone you love dies this year of an infected cut is, by the standards of almost everyone who ever lived, a rounding error.

Now measure that against how you feel. Wired, braced, worn out by things that have not happened, a generation with heating and antibiotics and same-day delivery, privately certain it endures the hardest conditions anyone ever has.

The truth is less flattering, and facing it squarely is the whole point. Our ancestors carried far more stress than we do, and carried it better, and the reasons we cannot are worth naming plainly.

The first is diet. Most people run on a blood sugar rollercoaster and a low simmer of inflammation, so the nervous system is already jangling before a single real problem arrives.

The second is lifestyle. We have stripped every scrap of deliberate hardship from ordinary life, so the first genuine difficulty finds a body that has never once been asked to cope.

The third is the strangest. We have taken to adopting every disaster on earth as a personal emergency. A famine two continents away. A feud between strangers. An outrage you will have forgotten by Friday. You pour a finite store of nervous energy into all of it, then wonder why nothing is left for your own life, the small handful of things you could actually change.

The Stoics drew a tight circle around that handful: your judgements, your effort, your conduct. Everything outside it, which is very nearly everything, they treated as weather. Have opinions about weather if you like. Try to be personally responsible for it and you go straight under.

Here is the part they leave off the posters. All three causes are yours to reverse. You can eat the way people ate before any of this. You can put hardship back into your week on purpose. You can let the planet's misfortunes carry on without your sponsorship, because they always would have.

You were not born fragile. You were softened, slowly, by decades of comfort doing exactly what comfort does. Seeing that plainly is the first honest thing you can do. Owning it as yours to fix is the second, and the whole business starts turning the moment you stop waiting for someone else to start it.

@SamaHoole Related to the post - hours worked in the UK back to 1260 AD, with some labels added. 1534 - a new religion, work is central. 1759 - the British empire becomes #1 - more work! 1870 first phase of major int'l world trade - less work, WW1/2 leads to increased worker demands.

That JD Vance interview with Michael Knowles was really bad. Admitting he and Trump just did the MOU to “build up our stocks” and “we want to play more games” with Iran and “have more cards to play” when the 60 days are up. You realize Iran sees these interviews also?

THIS MIGHT SHOCK SOME OF YOU.

But a HIGHER yield environment has previously helped DECREASE debt to GDP.

And a LOWER yield environment has previously helped INCREASE debt to GDP.

Whether you agree with the logic of this or not, this is what has previously happened.

Ireland has the second highest electricity prices in the world.

And today electricity prices are going up again.

One million households will pay up to €300 more for annual energy bills as costs rise from today.

Zelensky’s conscription officers detained a single father in Krivoi Rog, leaving his 5-year-old daughter all alone

Journalist Iuliia Mendel reports that the child spent the night with her kindergarten director, and the incident has triggered outrage.

When will Zelensky end this nightmare?
