HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.

Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

AND MY FAVORITE:

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!

The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.

Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Things modern medicine has been certain about, in chronological order, since 1900:

- That cigarettes were healthy.
- That margarine was healthy.
- That asbestos was inert.
- That lead in petrol was inert.
- That thalidomide was safe in pregnancy.
- That radium was a tonic.
- That DDT was safe to spray on children.
- That lobotomies cured depression.
- That morphine was non-addictive.
- That OxyContin was non-addictive.
- That mercury in dental fillings was inert.
- That cholesterol caused heart disease.
- That saturated fat caused heart disease.
- That eggs caused heart disease.
- That red meat caused cancer.
- That seed oils were heart-healthy.

Modern medicine has, in each case, eventually been forced to reverse the previous certainty.

It has not, in any of the above cases, apologised.

The certainty was, in each case, supported by the published consensus of the time.

The consensus of the time was, in each case, wrong.

The certainty currently in force, on the same model, is, on a longer view, statistically very unlikely to be entirely right.

The doctor reading the next reversal, in 2045, will be the one prescribing the current consensus today.

He will not call you.

He will not write to apologise.

He will, in most cases, have retired by the time the reversal is published.

The reversal will be in the journals.

The damage will be in the patients.

The patients, by then, will be your children.

Begin reading the journals yourself.

I think this is the general state of things if public mass arrests were made:

- 2017: let’s get our guns, Trump is creating a coup and going dictator
- 2026: oh come on arrest them all already

Cancer cells have a problem.

They cannot run on fat.

Healthy cells in your body, properly metabolically flexible cells, can switch between glucose and ketones depending on what's available. They evolved to do this. They are good at it. Your brain in particular runs beautifully on ketones, which is why an adapted carnivore can think clearly through a 36 hour fast and a fed vegan can't remember what he came into the kitchen for.

Cancer cells cannot do this. The mitochondria in tumour cells are damaged. They are stuck on glucose, almost exclusively, fermenting it inefficiently in the presence of oxygen. Otto Warburg observed this in the 1920s. He won a Nobel Prize for it. Then we spent the next century pretending he hadn't.

The treatment implication writes itself. Lower the available glucose, raise ketones, and you starve the tumour while the rest of the body switches to its backup fuel and carries on. There are now multiple human trials showing improved outcomes when therapeutic ketosis is added to standard oncology, particularly for glioblastoma, where conventional treatment has hardly moved in forty years.

It is cheap. It is non-toxic. It is metabolically gentler than chemotherapy. It is, in many cases, additive rather than alternative.

It is also not patentable.

Which is why you have probably never been told about it by anyone with a prescription pad.

The metabolic theory of cancer is not fringe. It is not new. It is not unsupported. It is simply unprofitable, which in modern medicine is the same thing as untrue.

"Japan uses seed oils and they're healthy. So seed oils can't be the problem."

This gets said a lot. It is based on a misreading of the data.

Japan consumes 278 calories per person per day from seed oils.

The United States consumes 454. 63% more.

Japan's primary seed oil is canola: roughly 21% linoleic acid.

America's primary seed oil is soybean: roughly 55% linoleic acid.

Japan also eats significantly more fish than the US: which means substantially higher omega-3 intake, which partially counteracts the inflammatory effects of omega-6. Their omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is considerably more balanced than America's.

And Japan does not permit TBHQ: a synthetic antioxidant added to seed oils in America that has been linked to immune dysfunction and food allergies.

So: Japan consumes less seed oil, a less concentrated form of it, partially offset by fish consumption, without the additive that makes American seed oil potentially worse.

And even with all those buffers in place?

Japan's vegetable oil consumption has increased 13-fold since 1950. In the same period, Japan's obesity rate, while still the lowest in the developed world at 4.5%, has risen steadily. Younger Japanese are substantially heavier than older cohorts were at the same age. The diseases of modernity are arriving in Japan. On the same timeline as the oil.

Japan is not evidence that seed oils are fine.

Japan is evidence that the damage is dose-dependent, and the dose is lower.
