In this interview, Bruce Ames, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of California Berkeley, currently senior scientist at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, discusses the importance of vitamins and minerals for longevity and explains his "triage theory" of nutrients.

Ames was born two weeks after my dad, who passed away earlier this year, so he is 90 years old. He developed the famous and widely used Ames test, which tests the mutagenicity of compounds. In recent years, he's shifted from his work in mutagenicity to focusing on nutrition for healthy aging. He recently published a paper¹ in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on this topic.

Disease Prevention Not the Same as Longevity Optimization

In that paper, he proposes the recommended level of many vitamins may be insufficient for longevity. In other words, the levels required to diminish disease may not be the same as the levels required to optimize longevity. Ames explains:

"In 2006, I was getting interested in vitamins. I worked on mitochondria, which are the organelles in the cell that make all your adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the high-energy molecule that drives your metabolism. But one of the side effects is it bleeds out oxidants. Oxidants are mutagenic. They can damage DNA.

They can damage protein and other molecules, just like radiation. Some of the same oxidants that come from radiation also come from your own aging mitochondria. It decays with age. Anyway, I was thinking, If vitamin C and vitamin E do all those good things, I wonder about the other vitamins.'

I started thinking about it, and it occurred to me that the body is becoming deficient in vitamins all the time, because people dont eat balanced diets. They fill themselves up with sugary soft drinks and empty carbohydrates, which dont have any vitamins.

You need 30 different vitamins and minerals Your body cannot make minerals. You have to get them from your diet. The same thing with vitamins."

In 2006, he published a purely theoretical paper² in which he postulated that when a cell becomes short on a vitamin, it starts to ration it, favoring protein enzymes essential for immediate survival over those that help prevent long-term diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

In this interview, Michelle Stiles reviews some of the basic tools of propaganda, which is the topic of her book, One Idea to Rule Them All: Reverse Engineering American Propaganda. Its a pertinent and apt topic in light of what's been going on over the last few years, as we attempt to understand how we've been manipulated and brainwashed.

If you can understand that, then you can prevent it from happening again in the future, and you can help other people to break free from the indoctrination as well. Stiles includes the following quote from George Orwell in the book:

"In the age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

Thats really our battle today, as we fight against a truly unprecedented disinformation campaign, where the liars are claiming that everyone else is giving out misinformation, basically turning truth on its head.

Most of you are aware that I was given top billing on the Center for Countering Digital Hates (CCDH) disinformation dozen list, which is a true testament to the credibility Ive built over the past 25 years. They see me as a real threat to their propaganda machine, and its no small honor to be recognized as someone whos telling the truth in this age of misinformation.

Legacy Media Were Never Deserving of Our Trust

While propaganda takes many forms, mainstream media play a crucial role. Many people my age would agree that we used to believe the media were a trusted source of information. But no more. Investigative journalism within mainstream media doesnt exist anymore. Theyre all just talking heads, reading from scripts, which is why they all sound the same, even reiterating the same sentences verbatim.

The good news is that people are starting to catch on, and trust in mainstream media has dropped to an all-time low. In her book, Stiles presents the historical view of media, and how its changed over time. By the early 1900s literally a century ago journalists like Upton Sinclair and George Seldes were discussing the corruption of the media, how they were owned by big business with a profit agenda, and how they were not dealing squarely with investigative reporters.

They were trying to tell as many people as they could, but they couldn't get it out there, Stiles says. And then, journalists, they were created through the schools. We had to have a degree to get into it. So now you're sort of captive. You can't really blow the whistle without blowing up your career. So that impacts it because nobody can tell the truth. And if you do come out, it's a long road to getting your own reputation set up and your ow...

In this video, I interview investigative journalist James Corbett about false narratives, the global takeover by technocracy, controlled opposition and the dangers of artificial intelligence, as well as the solutions to these and other challenges.

Corbetts journalism career began in the aftermath of 9/11, when he became overwhelmed to discover that we are constantly lied to through the mainstream media. 9/11 was his red pill moment, and he hasnt stopped digging for the truth since.

The discrepancy between the things that I was finding online versus what was being reported on the evening news just started getting wider and wider, he says, to the point where I felt that ... I had to insert myself in that conversation. So that's the reason we're talking today.

In 2007, Corbett launched his website, CorbettReport.com. One of his hallmarks, both in his documentaries and regular reports, is impeccable citations of sources.

I always put up the transcript with the hyperlinks to the source documents for every single quotation, every video clip, everything that I'm playing, he says. I want to direct people back to the source material so that they can research it for themselves.

I know, as a researcher myself who does this for a living, that's incredibly valuable. I very much appreciate it when other people do it, so I'm trying to set that example in the alternative media.

Can the Global Takeover Be Derailed?

Corbett is also featured on Good Morning CHD with Dr. Meryl Nass once a month, an online news show by Childrens Health Defense.

It's a valuable way, for both of us, to continue keeping our eye on the ball of the World Health Organization and its latest machinations ... of the global pandemic treaty and the international health regulations (IHR) amendments that they're working on right now, which really could be the hardwiring of the biosurveillance infrastructure, Corbett says.

When asked whether he believes the pandemic treaty and/or the IHR amendments can be stopped, Corbett replies:

Well, they are planning on unleashing the global pandemic treaty on the world at the World Health Assembly (WHA) next year, May of 2024. And preparatory to that, they're going to be holding a World Health Assembly this month, at which they'll be talking about the draft of the treaty and the draft of the IHR amendments and other such developments.

In this interview, J.B. Handley, founder of Generation Rescue, discusses autism and what he believes can be done to help turn this tragic trend around. This is also the topic of his book, "How to End the Autism Epidemic."

A Parent's Worst Nightmare

Handley's son has autism, and his personal experience ultimately motivated him to write this book. He describes the family's experience, and what led them to take a nonconventional approach to their son's treatment:

"My wife and I were what I would characterize as very mainstream parents, which meant that when our second son was born in 2002, we basically handed him to our pediatrician and did whatever he told us to do, which meant following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommended [vaccine] schedule.

We started to watch our son decline physically after every vaccine appointment at 2 months, at 4 months, at 6 months and at 12 months. He got eczema. His belly became distended. He had sleep disturbances. He had dark circles under his eyes. We kept going back into the doctor and saying, 'What's going on? What's happening with him? Where is this coming from?'

We could never get a plausible explanation for what was happening. Then, shortly after my son turned 1 year old, he started to decline neurologically. He lost his words. He lost many of his normal mannerisms. He started doing these really unusual behaviors.

He started craving certain foods all these things that somebody like you knows are red flags for a child heading towards autism. But at the time, we were ignorant to this and our pediatrician didn't help us at all.

We were living in Northern California. We took our son to University of California San Francisco (UCSF) where they diagnosed him with severe autism. At the same time, we visited a Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) doctor in Pleasanton Dr. Lynne Mielke.

We were presented with two completely different worlds. At UCSF, autism was genetic. It was lifelong. He was likely to be institutionalized. There was nothing we could do about it, except to prepare ourselves.

But in Pleasanton, thirty miles away, autism was triggered by vaccines. It was an environmental illness. If you vetted the diet and started to do things differently, some of these children recovered completely. Here's...

The International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders¹ estimates up to 10% of the population worldwide has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Yet, as Dr. Michael Greger notes in this short video, a 2005 study² revealed that 76.6% of people in the U.S. with IBS are undiagnosed. This means the number of people with IBS is likely much higher.

It is important to know that ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are different types of inflammatory bowel disease. While the terms inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome are sometimes used interchangeably, they are separate conditions that require different treatments. Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis are forms of inflammatory bowel disease but not IBS.

IBS is a chronic condition that changes your bowel habits and may trigger pain, cramping, changes in consistency and frequency of bowel movements and bloating.³ As Greger notes⁴ from a paper⁵ published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, doctors underestimate the impact of IBS on quality of life.

When measured, health-related quality of life was worse in people with IBS than in those with gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes and end-stage renal disease. So, the first step toward successful treatment is for doctors to acknowledge the condition and not dismiss the patient as just hysterical or something, says Greger.⁶

IBS: Unmet Therapeutic Need

While many people do not voluntarily discuss their bowel habits with their physician, Greger notes that another reason people may not seek medical treatment is the lack of effective options from Western medicine physicians. There is no cure for IBS. The only pharmaceutical options available are drugs that reduce the symptoms.

Yet, as Greger notes,⁷ drugs that are typically used to treat IBS have significant side effects. Antispasmodic drugs can lead to dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, an increased risk of falling and dry mouth. Other medications on the market used to treat IBS include:⁸

The recent U.S. banking crisis is no longer making headlines but its about to enter an even more troubling phase, according to finance guru Catherine Austin Fitts publisher of The Solari Report.¹

In an interview with Whitney Webb, host of Unlimited Hangout, Fitts discusses how central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will consolidate control of the financial system ultimately leading to control of the world population. Webb says:²

Essentially, it seems that the current calm on the surface has allowed the powers that be, or rather the financial powers that be, to kick the can down the road, giving them time to line things up so they can control and manage the situation once chaos and panic return.

Yet, regardless of if, and when, another crisis rears its head, the aftermath is likely to be seen as an opportunity by the powers that be to roll out or dramatically advance the long-awaited central bank digital currency, or CBDC paradigm.

A Dangerous Push to Consolidate Banking Deposits

When Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the 16th largest in the U.S.,³ collapsed in March 2023, Fitts believes it was due to a predatory run, a takedown. It really did look like a combination of short sellers and an engineered run, she says. Normally, one of the functions of the central bank is to help a bank in that position. But what we saw, in fact, was lead banks in New York Fed that own and control the New York Fed, engineering the run.⁴

This highlights the risks inherent even in large banks, where the majority of the problems lie, Fitts says. Yet, the corporate media pushes the idea that you must put all your money with the major banks to keep it safe. That is very dangerous, Fitts says.⁵

There is a real push to consolidate the banking deposits We saw the pand...

Florida is well-known for its aquatic wildlife a natural resource that is now being rapidly decimated by the influence of factory farms and chemical agriculture, combined with the unpredictable forces of nature.

Over 10 months in late 2017 and 2018, scores of manatees, dolphins, turtles, eels, crabs and other marine animals have washed ashore, dead, killed by toxic Karenia brevis algae known as red tide which now covers the east and west coasts.

Lake Okeechobee, which is the source of the problem, is also choked by another algal organism blue-green cyanobacteria. Both the red tide organism and cyanobacteria are fed by excess nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen from agricultural fertilizers.

These toxic algae also pose a threat to human health. Exposure through inhalation may trigger respiratory distress; topically it may cause skin rashes, while accidental ingestion can lead to vomiting and kidney failure. As reported by One Green Planet:¹

"[T]oxic algae is spreading through the coastal waters of South Florida, causing what is known as a 'red tide' to form, and it is killing wildlife at alarming rates due to lack of oxygen. The explosion of wildlife-killing algae in the area is largely a result of agricultural runoff linked to the Big Sugar industry."

Largest, Longest Red Tide in Decades

Hundreds of dead manatees and even a massive whale shark have washed ashore since October 2017, when the red tide began. Turtles have been hardest hit, including Kemp's Ridley sea turtles, which are on the critically endangered list. As noted by Bob Wasno, a marine biologist with Florida Gulf Coast University:²

"Back in 1994 we had an outbreak and it killed 196 manatees. Everybody was just completely outraged. They yelled and jumped up and down and said 'This is not going to happen again.' Here we are 24 years later and this is worse than ever."

In 2016, the Florida algal bloom in Lake Okeechobee drew attention after persisting from May through midsummer, covering 33 square miles and spreading to the coasts.³ A state of emergency was declared in three of the hardest-hit counties on the Atlantic coast, as well as one county on the Gulf coast.

This story is about the importance of holding the line both in the conventional sense and in the deepest, most existential sense.

When we say, hold the line we usually mean the need to mount our opposition to the authoritarian creep. The significance of holding that line is self-evident. The authoritarian creep is creepy and frankly, at this point, its not a creep, its a landslide. This is how it starts.

And this is how it can end if we dont push back.

However, there is also a deeper meaning of holding the line. That deeper meaning, the act of holding the line of our soul, is foundational. It is at the root of our ability to stand up to any abuse and deal with any circumstance, including the current ugly circumstance of the not so great reset.

Why It Matters

Talking about holding the line of our soul may sound lofty, idealistic, or not very practical at a time like this but in fact, the opposite is true. It is the most practical line to hold at all times and especially now because holding that line is what protects us against the lies. Holding that line is what allows us to prevail over the tyrants in the long run and at this point in history, prevailing over the tyrants is our job.

The Missionary Position

First, let me get personal. Ive been thinking about the harms of the authoritarian missionary position all my life. My focus was perhaps inspired by my experience of living through the fall of the USSR and observing many of my compatriots swapping their ideologies but keeping the general vibe.

I witnessed with my own eyes how many sincere people transitioned from joyless atheism to joyless Orthodox Christianity, changing their talking points to the polar opposite but largely retaining the foundational gloom. That, by the way, was the reason I ended up staying in America, I could not stand the soul-dimming atmosphere. (Hello, that same vibe in America in 2023. For the record, I didnt miss you even a little bit, and I have no idea what you are doing here.)

As previously reported, unbeknownst to the public, pork producers in the U.S.¹ and Canada² have been using customizable mRNA-based vaccines on their herds since 2018. As it turns out, the mRNA platform, Sequivity,^3,4 is the only part of this gene-based vaccine technology that has been approved.

All customized mRNA injections created using this platform are untested, and the initial safety testing upon which the assumed safety of all customized jabs are based was grossly inadequate. As noted by Zoetis, the largest producer of veterinary drugs and vaccines:⁵

Sequivity has safety and efficacy studies based on the platform with a historical initial isolate, not likely the isolate that customers would be requesting in their product.

We dont even know what that initial isolate was. The Sequivity platform allows customized vaccines to be created as follows, in as little as eight weeks:⁶

1. Pathogen is collected and sent to a diagnostic lab.
2. The gene of interest is sequenced and sent electronically to Sequivity analysts.inserted into the RNA production platform.
3. The RNA particles released from incubated production cells are harvested and formulated into a customized vaccine.

USDA Lists Only One Safety Study for Sequivity

So, just what kind of safety testing has been done on these mRNA swine jabs? As it turns out, not much, and even saying that would be an exaggeration. Looking at the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) summary of studies supporting the product licensure of Sequivity,⁷ we find only ONE safety study listed.

There are two efficacy studies pertaining to H1N1 swine influenza, two efficacy studies pertaining to H1N2 swine influenza, one efficacy study pertaining to H3N2 swine influenza, and one safety study pertaining to all vaccines under typical use conditions.

These six studies were all performed between June 2020 and December 2021. A search of the USDAs Licensed Veterinary Biological Products catalog renders just this one summary of studies to support Sequivitys licensure.⁸ This implies the plat...
