In the 1990s, a national broadcaster aired an investigation into a monkey virus hidden in the polio vaccine given to millions of children.
A researcher estimated there were "at least 26 different monkey viruses" in those vaccines. When a cancer doctor found one of them inside children's brain tumors, his words were: "I almost fell out of my chair." 🧵

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
@__b0rg@JohnDParody How does hydroxychloroquine work/help gout flare? My husband has been struggling with bouts on and off for over 1.5 yrs. Any help is appreciated
@ThrillaRilla369 I quit on Labor Day. Smoked for 20 yrs. Bought the audio book of Allen Carr's Easy Way. I planned on giving myself a few months to quit. Hoped by Oct 15th. Listened to the book over holiday weekend. Haven't smoked since. It really is the easy way.
My husband has gout. Currently in a flare. Not supposed to have fat. I was trying to transition him to keto then carnivore. I've been keto since 2000 and aside from my sourdough bread, rarely eat veggies. I'm fine. I'm wondering if it's his daily indulgence of sweet treats or the diuretic he's on for high BP. Appreciate any advice.
Yeah, the double standard was blatant. Same officials and politicians who spent 2020 screaming that churches, funerals, and small businesses were super-spreaders suddenly decided massive street protests and riots after George Floyd were fine—or even “necessary.” Public health rules magically bent when the politics lined up. Crowds of thousands packing streets in multiple cities got a pass while families couldn’t gather for Easter. That’s a big reason a lot of people checked out on the “trust the science” message. When the rules only applied to certain gatherings and not others, it stopped looking like public health and started looking like selective enforcement. Sand talking now about “lost trust” without owning any of that inconsistency is exactly the kind of thing that makes people roll their eyes.
They thought the "traumatized sailors" story would sink Trump.
Instead it exposed the whole psyop playbook — Tavistock, RAND swarming, NATO cognitive warfare.

@INTERIORPORN1 I used to have one. When we moved, we didn't have room for it. Still miss that workhorse. Hopefully again one day, sitting in storage. Can't part with it.
This PERFECTLY explains the Capitalism vs Socialism argument for America
“So now, Colombia rejected a socialist. Peru rejected a socialist. El Salvador, Chile, Honduras, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina all rejected Marxist or socialist leadership. And Venezuela was destroyed by socialism. Latin Americans are rejecting socialism after having tried it. So why are Americans accepting socialism, having never tried it?
Well, partially because most Americans don't know what socialism is
It's not healthcare for all or affordable housing. Socialism isn't a synonym for all the things I want, but I'm not getting in my capitalist country. It's not a vibe. It's an economic system characterized by collective or governmental ownership of the means of production. Means of production meaning infrastructure used to produce goods and services like factories, farms, and companies.
Capitalism also isn't a vibe. It's not billionaires and corporations controlling politics. It's not a synonym for all the things I hate about my country. It's an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, AKA the means of production.
Now, just like Mac versus Windows, there are different versions of capitalism and socialism. Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden are less capitalistic than America, but they are still capitalist. Although they have a few exceptions to the rule, private companies own the means of production, not the government in those countries.
Now, you might like certain programs that socialism promises, like universal healthcare, but those programs aren't tied to a specific operating system. You can run Photoshop on Mac or Windows, just like you can have universal healthcare in socialism or capitalism. But it seems we as a people keep getting more confused about what socialism is.
In 1949, 34% of Americans correctly identified socialism as government ownership of the economy. By 2018, only 17% did, and I suspect it's even worse now.
American politicians are confused, too. In 2015, Denmark's prime minister had to correct Bernie Sanders and say, "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy." Zoran Mamdani is a democratic socialist. Democratic socialism is a version of socialism.
Now, you could argue that socialism just hasn't been done right yet. And when every socialist experiment at the national level in the 20th century failed, and every experiment in the 21st century is failing, maybe the problem isn't that socialism hasn't worked in practice, it, that it almost certainly can't work in principle.
And maybe the assertion that this time will be different isn't optimism, it's actually just unfalsifiability, where a theory cannot ever be contradicted by actual evidence.
We have bugs in this version of capitalism that need to be fixed, principally that there is too much money in politics, that billions of dollars speak louder than millions of voices. And you know what? The socialists might create healthy pressure to fix those bugs. That's good, but that's different than changing the whole operating system.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Because when there's never been a successful socialist country in history, and the countries who have actually experimented with it are abandoning it, the results start to speak for themselves. And lately, they're speaking Spanish.”
And just so we’re crystal clear, here are the stated goals of the Democratic Socialists of America in America
- Abolish the US Senate
- Replace the Presidency and Supreme Court
- Abolish the Electoral College
• Abolish police and the prison system
• Abolish ICE, grant amnesty to all immigrants and end visa restrictions
• Public ownership of the largest corporations
- Defund the US military
- End economic sanctions on Iran
- Government owned social housing
According to Rob Sand, the reason Iowa kids are leaving Iowa-- a systemic problem that has been happening for the last three decades-- is because it's now illegal for children to have sex reassignment surgery and read books about transgenderism in schools.
