Wooden stake + copper wire = 200% yield boost with zero chemicals, zero patents, zero corporations.
Vs. GM acetate-eating plants in total darkness burning 5x America’s entire electricity output. One is farming. The other is a corporate hostage situation. Electroculture has been around since the 1700s and it’s still free. The choice is obvious. Thanks for laying it out so clearly, Del!
While Del was in Italy, he watched farmers treat seeds with nothing but electricity before planting and saw those seeds outperform untreated ones grown side by side under identical conditions. Higher yields, cleaner food, zero inputs.
The practice is called electroculture, and it has been documented since the 1700s. In 1934, an inventor patented a system that increased crop yields by up to 200% with no chemical fertilizers. A wooden stake and copper wire are all it takes.
American universities are developing something they are also calling electro-agriculture. The comparison ends at the name. Their version requires genetically modified plants, complete darkness, warehouse growing facilities, and an estimated 19,600 terawatt-hours of electricity per year to feed the US population.
That is roughly five times America's entire current electricity consumption. The genetic modification is not incidental to the design. It's required because plants don't naturally metabolize the acetate the system feeds them, instead of sunlight.
Two technologies. One ancient, public domain, owned by no one, accessible to any farmer on any budget this season. One patented, centralized, capital-intensive, and built on the premise that the farmer is unnecessary and the corporation is indispensable.
@ChelleWards and @tracybeanz have the full breakdown of both in the editorial below, and the choice between them isn't complicated once you see what each actually requires.

@armyvet19kilo I use sure-jell or similar & just follow the directions. I feel like back in the day, I do recall using lemon juice. Recipe doesn't call for it now.
@armyvet19kilo Nope, never have. I just sterilize jars & lids & make sure jar mouth is clean before putting lid on. As long as I hear that lid pop after bath, Im good. Have never had a prob.
@Dragonsoul9Fire No, I haven't tried carrot jam. Sounds good actually. I do want to make some jalapeno jelly. Actually, I made a brunch dish that has cranberry & jalapeno jam over baked brie cheese. That was super tasty!
A recent report from @BeckersHR ranks hospital systems nationwide by total assets, noting the billions of dollars they carry.
Our 2025 Interim Semi-Annual Report found that several hospitals reviewed were linked to the wealthiest systems and failed to list cash prices. 🧵
https://t.co/b2MMXR0I1F This is a concerning story about AI. Meta chatbots allowed hackers to change the email addresses of prominent Instagram accounts and take them over.
The hackers didn't need any passwords; they just asked the chatbots to change the email addresses, then reset the passwords.
This took down prominent accounts such as:
• Sephora
• The Obama White House
• The Sergeant Major of the US Space Force
• RealDocSpeaks
Meta patched the accounts after the uproar over the lack of access.
The issue here is that the guardrails were removed, and the chatbot could be manipulated.
Imagine the harm that will occur when AI is used to replace physicians.
Doctronic is allowed to autonomously renew prescriptions in Utah, and guardrails were removed to enable this.
Doctronic didn't need to obtain a medical license in Utah, and the telehealth rules were also relaxed.
The only safety data provided was from Doctronic!
My prediction is that the movement of replacing physicians with AI will not end well for patients!
What are your thoughts? @HeathVeuleman@DutchRojas@anish_koka@DrDiGiorgio@crappiedoc@sonodoc99@DrBruggeman
Google is planning to release 64 MILLION Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into neighborhoods in Florida and California.
This is reckless, irreversible biological experimentation on American communities and our ecosystems — with no off-switch.
Florida recorded just 6 West Nile cases last year. The risk is negligible, yet they’re proceeding anyway. These altered mosquitoes could disrupt birds, bats, and entire food chains with consequences we cannot undo.
Enough of Big Tech playing God with our environment and our health.
Tell the EPA to REJECT this dangerous experiment. (Link in comments.)
