Dr. Sabine Hazan: “our most significant discovery”

Dr. Hazan is a Gastroenterologist with a special interest in microbiome research.

Watch as she traces the loss of Bifidobacteria all the way from covid mRNA technology to the rate of Autism in California.... and ends with a bombshell twin study.

@SabinehazanMD brought back the speech of previously non verbal twins, with a re-florilisation of the essential microbe which is now missing (at adequate levels) in 75% of newborns.

It’s a completely new paradigm of medicine.

She is pioneering it.

In 1976, Apple’s third co-founder Ronald Wayne sold his 10% stake in Apple for $800 out of fear the business would fail.

Today it would be worth $455 billion, worth more than Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Spotify, Snapchat, Roblox and Reddit combined.

He is now 92 years old and lives in a mobile home off Social Security checks.

So yeah, people thought they were catching Pikachu.

Turns out they were also training robots the whole time.

UFC - Holloway vs Oliveira

A belt and BMF belt are two different things. A prerequisite for BMF should be to throw hands. After 25 minutes of wrestling, Oliveira should hand his BMF to Joanna. That HOF fight reel hit way harder.

Look at the map. 338,000+ red dots.
Unique IP addresses trading, distributing, and sharing child sexual abuse material… children under 12.

Do you notice the blue dots? Probably not. Those are the actual investigations.

Law enforcement needs more resources, more support… a bigger rescue team.

This is a fight of good vs. evil, and we are losing.

Everyone blamed Greenland.

The Treasury Secretary just told you what actually happened.

“Markets are going down because Japan’s bond market just suffered a six-standard-deviation move in ten-year bonds over the past two days. This has nothing to do with Greenland.”

Scott Bessent then called Tokyo.

Not Brussels. Not the EU. Tokyo.

Here’s what triggered it:

Sunday night, PM Takaichi announced a snap election for February 8 and promised to cut the food sales tax to zero. No plan to cover the lost revenue.

Bond markets delivered their verdict in hours.

- 10Y JGB yield: 2.38%. Highest since 1999.
- 20Y JGB yield: +22bps in a single session.
- 40Y JGB yield: 4.21%. All-time record since its 2007 debut.

Then the transmission fired.

Japan holds $1.2 trillion in US Treasuries. More than any nation on Earth.

When Japanese yields spike, capital repatriates. To repatriate, they sell American assets. Stocks. Bonds. Everything.

$1.3 trillion erased from US markets in one session.

This is not new. This is a pattern.

August 5, 2024. Same mechanism. BOJ hiked rates. Carry trade unwound. Nasdaq dropped 3.4% in a day. Bitcoin fell 17% in hours. JPMorgan estimated 50-65% of global carry positions liquidated.

That was wave one.

This is wave two.

The difference: August 2024 was monetary. A rate hike.

January 2026 is fiscal. Unfunded tax cuts from a Prime Minister facing election.

Fiscal shocks are harder to reverse.

What happens next:

Bank of Japan meets this week. If they announce emergency bond purchases, temporary stabilization. If they stay silent, yields keep climbing.

The Treasury Secretary already knows which scenario is more likely.

That’s why he made the call before markets opened.

Watch these levels:

- 10Y JGB above 2.5% triggers potential BOJ intervention.

- USD/JPY below 155 signals carry unwind acceleration.

- VIX above 25 confirms contagion.

The fault lines are visible.

The earthquake already started.

And here it is:

The single most shocking testimony in United States congressional history.

J.J. CARRELL: “I state without reservation that the United States federal government under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is the world's largest child sex trafficking organization in modern history. The probability…that thousands of these children are being raped at this very moment is one hundred percent."

"I served in the United States border patrol for twenty four years until I retired as a deputy patrol agent charged in San Diego sector. I worked under five presidential administrations, and only one president secured the border president Donald Trump.

Border Patrol agents went from working and being supported by the greatest border president in American history…
To the worst, president Joe Biden. My last year in the board patrol was Joe Biden's first year in office On his first day in office I watched in disbelief as ninety four executive orders cascaded down from Washington DC obliterating every immigration policy that had been provided the most secure border in America's history. Border agents were forced to carry out unconstitutional orders, and that violated every law in the Immigration Nationality Act President Biden, through Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcus, created policy out of thin air, ignored federal immigration law and facilitated the largest mass invasion into America that the world has ever seen....

The United States of America will have spent hundreds of billions of dollars…in four years to fund the needs of over fifty million illegal aliens that populate our nation. Between one in six and one in seven residents in America is an illegal alien. America has suffered the greatest demographic shift in modern history.
After serving in the United States Border Patrol for twenty four years... I state with complete certainty that Biden Harris and Myorkas are intentionally strategically, and purposely weaponizing illegal immigration and using it as a tool to fundamentally transform America. Inside this invasion the unspoken evil of child trafficking and more specifically child sex trafficking has flourished.
At the end of this current administration, the number of children traffic will have grown to over five hundred and fifty thousand unaccompanied alien children known as UACs.

Death penalty!!

The media is making a big deal about the Dow Jones closing above $49,000 for the first time. But with gold closing above $4,490, today’s 49,462 close is worth just 11 ounces of gold. In Sept. 1999, the Dow was worth over 43 ounces of gold. That’s a 74% decline over 26 years.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy."

This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years.

And Venezuela just threatened to end it.

Here's what really just happened:

Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

The largest on Earth.

More than Saudi Arabia.

20% of the entire world's oil.

But here's the part that matters:

Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars.

In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar."

They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil.

They were petitioning to join BRICS.

They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely.

And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades.

Why does this matter?

Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing:

The petrodollar.

In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia:

All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars.

In exchange, America provides military protection.

This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide.

Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil.

This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it.

It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending.

The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers.

And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it:

2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars.

2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched.

The WMDs were never found because they never existed.

2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade.

Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention.

Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar."

2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets.

"We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera.

The gold dinar died with him.

And now Maduro.

With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined.

Actively selling in yuan.

Building payment systems outside dollar control.

Petitioning to join BRICS.

Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran.

The three countries leading global de-dollarization.

This isn't coincidence.

Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed.

Every. Single. Time.

Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago:

"American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property."

He's not hiding it.

They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago.

By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft."

But here's the DEEPER problem:

The petrodollar is already dying.

Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements.

Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years.

China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries.

BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely.

The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies.

Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially.

That's what this invasion is really about.

Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine.

Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization."

Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections.

This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it.

And the consequences are terrifying:

Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression."

China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions.

BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar.

Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message:

Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you.

But here's the problem...

That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it.

Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony.

And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER.

The timing is insane too:

January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured.

January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured.

36 years apart. Almost to the day.

Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse.

Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes.

History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.

What happens next:

Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative.

US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela."

The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again.

Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya.

But here's what nobody's asking:

What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance?

When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate?

When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"?

When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence?

America just showed its hand.

The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff.

Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits.

When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.

Venezuela isn't the beginning.

It's the desperate end.

What do you think?
