#Breaking: The Islamic Regime of #Iran has decided to begin mass executions of arrested protesters. Executions are set to start on Wednesday. The names of some protesters scheduled for execution have already been announced. One of them is Erfan Soltani, who is to be executed in Karaj. He was arrested on January 9 and is scheduled to be executed on January 14. He was allowed to meet his family today for the final time, for just 10 minutes.

There are hundreds of other protesters reportedly planned for mass execution. If this regime is not overthrown, this number could rise to thousands. The regime has officially admitted to arresting more than 10,000 protesters, though the real number may be three to four times higher.

Without wanting to bring the mood down, these are the dark days after Christmas where the black dog raises his rabid head & many young men in particular are tempted to find permanent solutions to their quiet desperation. Keep an eye out for those discreetly, indirectly 'saying goodbye' or getting their affairs in order over the next days.

Gallbladder removal is one of the most common surgeries performed today.
It’s often offered as a “simple fix” for gallstones, pain, or sluggish digestion.

But the truth is: your gallbladder wasn’t optional.
And once it’s gone, your body undergoes a cascade of changes that most people are never told about.

Let’s dive into what the gallbladder actually does, what happens when it’s removed, and how to support your digestion, hormones, and terrain for the long haul.

💚 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐨?
The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ that sits just beneath the liver.
Its job is simple — but vital:

➡️ It stores and concentrates bile.

Bile is a bitter, yellow-green fluid made by the liver, and it plays several critical roles:
• Emulsifies fats so they can be digested and absorbed
• Carries out toxins, excess hormones, heavy metals, cholesterol, and bile-soluble waste
• Triggers peristalsis in the gut (bowel movements)
• Regulates the gut microbiome and prevents bacterial overgrowth

It also helps:
• Absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
• Balance cholesterol levels
• Clear old estrogens and stress hormones
• Maintain proper gut pH and motility

🔁 Bile is your body's built-in detergent, detoxifier, and digestive stimulant — and the gallbladder controls how much is released and when.

Without it, your body's timing, flow, and fat metabolism become dysregulated.

🩻 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝?
When the gallbladder is taken out, your liver still makes bile…
But instead of storing it and releasing it in response to food, the bile now drips continuously into the small intestine — in a weaker, less concentrated form.

This disrupts a finely tuned system and creates several downstream problems:

🔻 1. Fat Digestion Becomes Impaired
Without the gallbladder’s timing and potency, bile can’t break down fats efficiently.
Even healthy fats may trigger discomfort or go undigested.

➡️ Symptoms:
• Bloating after eating
• Floating or pale stools
• Diarrhea or loose stools
• Greasy or sticky bowel movements
• Nausea, especially after rich meals
• Feeling full or heavy in the upper right abdomen

This leads to fat-soluble nutrient deficiencies — especially vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega-3s, choline, and coenzyme Q10.

Over time, this can affect:
• Hormone production
• Vision
• Brain health
• Bone strength
• Immune resilience

�� 2. Toxins Aren’t Eliminated Properly
Bile is also a major detox pathway. It binds and carries out:
• Estrogen metabolites
• Excess cholesterol
• Mold toxins
• Parasite debris
• Medications and environmental chemicals
• Liver byproducts and metabolic waste

Without healthy bile flow, these toxins can be:
• Reabsorbed into the bloodstream
• Recirculated via enterohepatic recycling
• Stored in fat and tissue — worsening inflammation

This raises the risk of:
• Hormonal imbalances
• Brain fog
• Autoimmunity
• Rashes, breakouts, and itchy skin
• Liver congestion and fatigue

🔻 3. Hormone Imbalances Can Worsen
Poor bile flow = poor clearance of used-up hormones.

Especially for women, this may look like:
• Estrogen dominance
• PMS, fibroids, endometriosis
• Weight gain around hips, thighs, and lower belly
• Mood swings or irritability
• Histamine sensitivity, migraines, or breast tenderness

Bile also influences thyroid hormone conversion in the liver and gut — meaning sluggish bile can mimic or worsen thyroid issues (fatigue, cold hands, hair loss, slow metabolism).

🔻 4. Gut Imbalance & SIBO Risk Increases
Bile has natural antimicrobial effects that keep the gut ecosystem in check.

Without proper bile release:
• Undigested fats feed opportunistic bacteria
• Bile acid imbalance encourages overgrowth
• Gut motility slows, increasing fermentation and bloating
• The risk of SIBO, candida, methane overgrowth, and leaky gut increases

This contributes to:
• Gas, distention, burping
• Constipation or loose stools
• Reflux
• Nutrient malabsorption
• Chronic inflammation

🔻 5. Liver Congestion Worsens
When bile flow is altered, the liver has to work harder to excrete waste.
This creates a backlog of toxins, leading to symptoms that are often misdiagnosed.

This may show up as:
• Headaches (especially over the eyes or crown)
• Skin rashes, eczema, or acne
• Chemical sensitivity (perfumes, cleaners)
• Eye floaters, tension behind the eyes
• Anxiety, irritability, or restlessness
• Elevated liver enzymes on labs
• Worsening reactions to medications or supplements

Over time, this can impact mitochondrial health, detox capacity, and lymphatic drainage.

❗ 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐖𝐡�� 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞?
Gallbladders don’t just “go bad” out of nowhere.
They become inflamed, sluggish, or develop stones because of terrain-level breakdowns, including:
• Low stomach acid (which fails to signal bile release)
• Processed, low-fat diets (which stop the gallbladder from ever emptying)
• High estrogen levels (from birth control, pregnancy, or HRT)
• Mold exposure, parasites, and stealth infections (which clog bile ducts)
• Taurine, choline, magnesium, and bile salt deficiencies
• Trauma, stress, and nervous system freeze states (which slow digestion)

Stones, sludge, or inflammation are symptoms, not root causes.
And if those terrain imbalances aren’t addressed, symptoms may continue or worsen elsewhere — even after surgery.

You can still live a healthy life without a gallbladder but you must compensate for what was lost.
Here’s how to support your body, step by step:

✅ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲
• Take bile salts (ox bile) with meals containing fat
• Use bitter herbs before meals: dandelion, gentian, artichoke, burdock
• Drink lemon water or diluted apple cider vinegar 15 min before meals
• Supplement phosphatidylcholine to support bile viscosity and flow
• Support cofactors: magnesium, taurine, glycine, molybdenum
• Consider adding TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid), a bile acid that helps thin stagnant bile, protect liver cells, and improve bile flow when the gallbladder is no longer present.

Bile is 95% water — so hydration is critical.

✅ 𝟐. 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐳𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥
• Use a broad-spectrum enzyme blend with high lipase content
• Choose formulas with ox bile, betaine HCl, lipase, pancreatin, amylase
• Adjust dosing based on meal size and fat content
• Consider HCl support if low stomach acid is suspected (common post-cholecystectomy)

✅ 𝟑. 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲
• Eat smaller, more frequent meals — avoid large fatty meals
• Focus on quality fats, not quantity — avocado, ghee, olive oil, egg yolks
• Avoid fried, processed, and oxidized oils
• Add fiber-rich vegetables to bind excess bile acids
• Stay well-hydrated throughout the day (filtered water with mineral salt)

✅ 𝟒. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭-𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
You are now at higher risk of A, D, E, K deficiency.

• Use emulsified or micellized versions of vitamins A, D3/K2, and E
• Test vitamin D and retinol levels
• Include nutrient-dense foods: pasture-raised liver, egg yolks, wild fish, grass-fed butter
• Use cod liver oil for bioavailable A and D (in balance)

✅ 𝟓. 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐱 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲
Your bile-dependent detox pathways are more fragile now.

• Focus on opening drainage before any deep detox
• Use gentle binders: activated charcoal, bentonite clay, modified citrus pectin
• Apply castor oil packs over the liver 3–5x/week
• Incorporate infrared sauna, dry brushing, and lymphatic massage
• Avoid fasting, extreme cleanses, or intense parasite protocols until stable

✅ 𝟔. 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧
In Chinese medicine, the gallbladder governs:
• Courage, clarity, and decision-making
• The ability to “digest life” and move forward boldly

After removal, many people report:
• Indecisiveness
• Fear of change
• Rage or resentment
• Difficulty setting boundaries or expressing emotion

🌀 Emotional release work, nervous system healing, breathwork, and somatic therapy are often overlooked — but deeply supportive.

❤️ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬
Your gallbladder may be gone —
But your power to support your body is still fully intact.

This organ wasn’t removed by accident.
It was responding to deeper imbalances in your digestion, stress, mineral status, liver health, hormones, and nervous system.

By restoring what it used to do, compensating wisely, and listening deeply to your terrain…
…you can live in greater health and harmony than before — not despite the surgery, but because you finally began to support the body in the way it always needed.

In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde began studying breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. What started as a routine study turned into a groundbreaking discovery. She found that mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein, while those raising daughters had different nutrient balances. This led Katie to a radical conclusion: milk is not just nutrition—it’s information.
Her research revealed that milk shapes behavior, not just growth. For instance, first-time mothers produced milk with higher levels of cortisol, influencing their babies to grow faster but also become more anxious. Katie also discovered that milk changes based on the baby’s immune needs. When a baby is sick, the mother’s milk quickly adapts by producing more white blood cells and targeted antibodies.
Katie’s work, which challenged the scientific consensus, was largely ignored. She launched a blog, Mammals Suck Milk, to spark discussions, and her findings, including that every mother’s milk is unique, gained widespread attention. In 2017, she took her research to a TED stage, and in 2020, her work was featured in Netflix’s Babies. Today, as a professor at Arizona State University, Katie continues to revolutionize our understanding of infant development and lactation.
Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk—she uncovered a living, responsive communication system, revealing that nourishment is intelligence. Her discovery shows that sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what others ignore.

After watching most of my friends failed marriages, I realized one truth:

A loyal partner and a peaceful marriage is one of the world's most underrated blessings.

[Employment Law Ireland @EmployRightsIE]

You're a hard working Irish person trying to build a life in the only country you've ever known as home. You pay for everything. The State comes in, takes 40% of your salary in tax and uses it to fund beautiful homes and lifestyles for foreign non-nationals who destroy their passports.

Stand outside on the road, have a look at those beautiful houses and be proud because you paid for them. Be proud that you gave them that beautiful life.

You don't have a home and you'll never be able to afford one. You work full-time so you don't qualify for any State support – no home at all for you. And don't even think about complaining. The Government and migrant NGOs will call you an ungrateful racist with your white Irish privilege.

That's Ireland in 2025.

"Our" saintly NHS and the consequence of not doing your job properly.

I took my mum to the dentist. While she was in the chair she had a stroke. I got called into the dentist’s room and she was just lying in a heap on the floor. The dentist (a qualified medical doctor) had recognised it immediately and had rung 999 repeatedly, explained the situation clearly, and begged for an ambulance. We kept ringing and ringing. They wouldn’t come. They wouldn’t even listen to a doctor. What hope did I have?
With no ambulance coming and my mother deteriorating on the floor, we had no choice. We carried her to my car. A dental nurse who was there jumped in with us because I didn’t know the quickest way to the hospital. I drove, talking to Mum the whole time, keeping my voice normal, telling her not to worry, acting like nothing was wrong. She mumbled, “Oh don’t worry Jo, I’ll live.” Those were her last words to me.
I roared up to A&E. The dental nurse ran inside to get help. I waited in the car, but no one came out. It felt like ages. I had to lift my unconscious mother out of the back seat in a fireman’s lift and carry her to the doors while screaming for help. A nurse told me not to handle her like that because I might cause damage – The brass neck. (I think of that idiot most days)
Our NHS finally placed her on a bed and wheeled her away without telling me where they were taking her. I did ask but no one answered. I gave her details at the front desk and explained my car was half on the pavement outside. The woman at the desk told me not to worry, she would sort it so that I didn’t get a ticket.
They put me in a side room, a windowless cupboard, just out of sight of all the many, many trolleys with people on them in the corridor. I sat there for what felt like about 30-45 minutes. No one came. They’d forgotten about me. I went to get water because I couldn’t just sit there, but then I worried and so I came back and waited some more. Finally, going back to the front desk, I asked, “Where’s my mum?!?”
I heard hushed talk, then someone walked me down to another area. She was still in the same bed I’d seen her wheeled away in, pushed to the side of the room with people walking all around her like she was in the way. I kept asking what was going on, but no one answered and just put a curtain around the bed. My brother arrived then; I’d managed to get hold of him while I was stuck in the cupboard. We stood there crying, in total shock, wondering what the hell was going on. No one was doing anything. A woman was lying there having had a massive stroke, and we were just looking at each other, helpless.
I don’t know how much time passed, but eventually we were moved to another department in a private room.
We sat with her through the night. I was at the side of her bed stroking her hand but also not wanting to because I knew that would have really annoyed her. I told her I loved her but didn’t want to go on too much because I didn’t want to scare her. At about 2 am I knew she had died.

The nurse sent me home with a plastic bag of her urine-stained clothes.

This is what happens when millions use a service they never paid a penny into while the people who funded it their whole lives are left to die without dignity.
This is what happens when rigid red tape matters more than a doctor screaming down the phone that someone is having a massive stroke.
This is what happens when common sense is banned and box-ticking is king.
This is what happens when the job is not done properly.
This is the consequence.

In Ireland this morning, Gardai are on a man hunt for @EnochBurke because he refused to call a boy they / them, citing his constitutional right to religious beliefs and pretending it is contempt of court to persecute him.

Hardi Abubaker Hama Ali who doused himself in petrol and attempted to burn down an IPAS literally mocks and celebrates outside a court for walking free and you may have the pleasure of bumping into him some day.

There is not a word of condemnation from "Official Ireland, NGO's, the media, politicians or the deranged militant left as they focus on the "far right" gangsters of Louth and the two foreigners allegedly targeting mosques.

While Ukrainian students get everything handed to them, with no means test, Irish parents and students are treated like second class citizens in our own country, our government are a total failure.

[Niall Boylan @Niall_Boylan]

For what it’s worth here is my tuppence worth.
The Irish Constitution guaranteed that any eligible citizen could stand for President, provided they secured a nomination either from 20 members of the Oireachtas or from four local councils. This safeguard was designed to keep the process open and ensure that ordinary democracy and not just party elites had a voice in who appeared on the ballot.
But in this election, that safeguard was deliberately choked off. Political parties instructed their councillors and Oireachtas members to block independents. Many councils dutifully voted not to nominate anyone at all, and Oireachtas members were told not to “lend” support across party lines. The result was that independent voices, including Maria Steen, were denied a place on the ballot, despite the Constitution’s clear intent.
The council route was never meant to be symbolic. It existed precisely to prevent party machines from monopolising the nomination process. Yet when councils, under party discipline, refused to nominate anyone, the safeguard collapsed. Article 12 envisaged councils playing an active role, but this year party orders turned that safeguard into a dead letter.
This was more than politics as usual, it was a direct assault on representative democracy. Councillors, elected by the people to exercise judgment, were reduced to party foot soldiers. Their independence as representatives was stripped away, and with it, the voice of the people they serve.
The Constitution was treated as an inconvenience rather than the supreme law of the land. Party control trumped constitutional principle. What the Constitution promised and what political practice delivered were two very different things and in this case, democracy lost.
The Presidency was supposed to belong to the people. Instead, the nomination process was locked down so tightly that no independent candidate could even reach the ballot. The Constitution was mocked, and Irish democracy was diminished.
Jim Gavin thinks we all should have a voice in this election. If he truly believes that he should pull out of the race and encourage the two others to do the same until we go back and remove the whip and possibly have a secret ballot for TDs , Senators and Councillors.

The Irish Presidential ballot, as blocked, curated and fixed as an Iranian presidential ballot.
You are presented 3 options, of the same thing. And they have the balls to call it democracy.
The most effective thing you can do on the day of the vote is go and cast your ballot as a protest vote. ‘Spoil’ the ballot by filling in an ‘X’ beside the three government authorised candidates and hand write ‘1. Maria Steen’ (or if you prefer, any other words of protest or name, or doodle) in big letters across your ballot paper. Cast the ballot in the ballot box. Your ballot will be counted as a ‘spoiled’ vote and the total number of spoiled votes will be announced. We need to send a tsunami of ‘spoiled’ protest ballots and expose this fake-democracy for the farce that it has become. #SpoilTheVote25 🇮🇪☘️

South Yorkshire police told my mum that they would fine her every time I went missing…

I was a little girl been sexually exploited and trafficked across England from the age of 11 ….

Bundled in to men’s cars to be raped in numbers !!!

I’ve got my childcare records and reading through them has been making me physically sick….

The intel they had on my perps and chose to do nothing !!

My mum took 177 numbers out my phone when I was 12 years old majority of them been much much older she took it to the police and they told her it was against the men’s human rights if they took the numbers I was 12 !!!

I’ve been sitting on this for a while thinking do I share now or wait until I can openly speak again but every time I read it I get more and more mad !!!

Telling a parent who’s child is been so badly sexually exploited that if she keeps reporting me missing they will fine her !!!

Rotherham police and council make me sick !!
