MDMA plus high-dose psilocybin was the hardest psychological work Andrew Huberman has ever done.
He is explicit: no one should try this without clinical support, and many people should not take these compounds at all. He has only done the combination twice.
MDMA first created the empathogen effect that made difficult material approachable. Psilocybin alone at four to five grams of dried mushrooms had been terrifying and physically harsh.
Together, the MDMA allowed him to stay with the hardest childhood material instead of pushing it away. He also reported no typical post-MDMA drop.
Both compounds increase neuroplasticity in different ways, MDMA primarily through elevated serotonin and oxytocin systems, psilocybin through 5-HT2A receptor activation, which may explain why the sequence felt uniquely intense and why the usual comedown was absent.
Huberman has a rare ability to describe extreme personal experiences with precision, honesty, and strong caveats. That combination is what makes his accounts trustworthy.
The United States will ban individuals accused of promoting antisemitism from attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. antisemitism envoy Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun has announced.
A group of generous Orthodox Jewish businessmen transformed a $25 million Gulfstream G550 into a flying hospital—giving patients access to life-saving care anywhere in the country or around the world.
It’s called Hatzalah Air.
And this is just one of 10 private jets in their fleet, all dedicated to transporting patients in need.
To show that the Earth is curved rather than flat, a man recorded a cruise ship as it sailed away, watching it gradually vanish from view over the horizon instead of shrinking evenly into the distance.
When I sat down with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, I was expecting a thoughtful conversation and that he would ask questions and give me the opportunity to actually respond--just like he did with the little Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes or the guy who thought Hitler was the good guy and Churchill the bad guy. What I wasn't anticipating was a lengthy series of questions where he seemed to be insinuating that the Jews of today aren't really same people as the Jews of the Bible.
I'll first just say something I didn't think to say to Tucker, which is that Ashkenazi Jews, meaning those who families had spent centuries in Europe, are a minority of Israel's Jewish population, only maybe 35-40%. There are far more Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews inside Israel.
But there's a good reason, as it turns out, that I had never encountered this theory that Tucker kept pushing on. That’s because it comes from some of the darkest realms of the Internet and social media.
I think it's important to take a moment now and educate Tucker and anyone else who might get sucked in by this dangerous conspiracy theory, just as I have been educated this week.
I'm sharing this information because it has been weaponized by very bad people to delegitimize Jews and strip them of their history.
It's an idea that gained traction in the 80's and 90's with David Duke and other Klansmen and neo-Nazis. It has really caught fire in recent years on the Internet and social media, mostly from some of the most overt anti-Semites and Jew haters you can find.
I don’t know why Tucker was so fixated on this, and I'm certainly not saying he knew the origins of this conspiracy theory. I don't know what's in his heart or what he was thinking.
But I do know that the discredited idea that most Ashkenazi or European Jews descended from the ancient Turkic kingdom of Khazaria is bunk. It's also been weaponized by people trying to deligitimize Jews, to strip them of their history, and to call them "imposters" or "fake Jews."
This odious conspiracy theory is peddled by the likes of Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and by people who love David Duke, as well as Islamist accounts that make up false smears about Israel non-stop and are run out of countries like Pakistan and Turkey.
But we know from genetics and rich volumes of written literature that the Jews of today can trace their lineage back thousands of years to the Israel and the Jewish people of the Bible.
They are as connected together as genetics tell us that the ancient Khazar kingdom is to people living today in Turkey.
And if Tucker wants to tour more than Ben-Gurion Airport on his next trip to Israel, I'm happy to show him places where Jews have lived going back to the time of Jesus Christ and even earlier.
I sincerely hope Tucker will let me know when he actually wants to learn facts about the land and people. Asking me about conspiracy theories should remain on the fringes and not be the heart of the conversation.
This is not about some crime ring raising money via a ransom.
That's boob bait for the Bubbas.
This is about sending a WARNING to the news media:
BACK THE HELL OFF AND DO NOT REPORT ON THIS.
They're having to resign and proffer truly awkward excuses at this point and THE REALLY BAD STUFF hasn't been gotten to yet.
They know the REALLY BAD STUFF is coming.
They are attempting to do damage control. Lessen the fallout. Contain the damage.
So this kidnapping is a reminder to the press:
BE CAREFUL WHAT QUESTIONS YOU ASK US. DON'T GO THERE. KEEP IT WITHIN THE GUARDRAILS WE WILL PERMIT. Or it could be YOUR MOTHER next.
Now.
Who is she?
Who is she pictured with?
Where was the picture taken?
What is her relationship to Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, and Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell?
What role did she play in the Epstein international child sex trafficking ring?
Reporters SHOULD HAVE been digging into her long ago.
But they haven't because they were dismissing the entire thing, covering it up.
The Guthrie kidnapping is to send a WARNING as the public begins to see Pizzagate was always real, and Q was on the nose about Epstein.
Now that the country is waking up to the reality of Pizzagate and Epstein, a VERY STRONG WARNING had to be made to the mainstream press, in case it decided to actually begin PURSUING THESE STORIES.
And so a strong warning has been made.
Sit-ins are being held at Target stores across the state. Demonstrators want Target to "stand with Minnesotans" and publicly call for ICE to leave, according to organizers.

As @Target in Minneapolis allows ICE to kidnap their employees and use their parking lots as staging grounds, Philly residents jammed up checkout and return lines in Targets throughout the city yesterday in solidarity with Minnesotans.
The message to upper managment laid out in a letter hand-delivered to in-store managers is clear: it won't be business as usual while Target facilitates abductions.
Demonstrations at a Target in St. Paul. Target is facing another round of backlash as the retailer has been a staging ground for ICE operations. At Richfield store an American citizen was detained then dumped outside a Walmart parking lot.
Minnesota don’t forget: GENERAL STRIKE ON 1/23.
Our power is our labor and our wallets.
Show the country we Americans can do this across all states when the time comes.
And it will.
This is the reality of what it is like in Minnesota right now. The district I represent in Burnsville is one of the most targeted communities in the state. There are ICE agents everywhere. We will not let them operate in silence or without witnesses.
“Next week, Friday, Jan. 23, we are shutting Minneapolis and St. Paul down. Cities nationwide will be shutting it down — and kicking ICE out … taking it to the streets and kicking ICE out…”
As federal agents continue to come to the Twin Cities for immigration enforcement operations, several metro eating establishments say they will be closed Monday. https://t.co/MFJxmG65kp
We are aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe.
