July 9, 2025 - Can you do nothing for 2 minutes? Don't think so! laughing_icon

June 26, 2025 - Brain Drain: The Mere Presence of One’s Own Smartphone Reduces Available Cognitive Capacity

"The present research identifies a potentially costly side effect of the integration of smartphones into daily life: smartphone-induced “brain drain.” We provide evidence that the mere presence of consumers’ smartphones can adversely affect two measures of cognitive capacity—available working memory capacity and functional fluid intelligence—without interrupting sustained attention or increasing the frequency of phone-related thoughts.

Consumers who were engaged with ongoing cognitive tasks were able to keep their phones not just out of their hands, but also out of their (conscious) minds; however, the mere presence of these devices left fewer attentional resources available for engaging with the task at hand."

But the good news is: Giving Up Your Phone For Just 3 Days Can Reshape Your Brain Activity




June 2, 2025 - Eating a french fry is like smoking a cigarette

"Edible oil industry scientists warn that seed oils, like soybean, corn, and canola, easily deteriorate into toxins with time. Their fragile fatty acids (the polyunsaturated kind) react with oxygen in the air, generating toxic compounds called aldehydes—chemicals also found in cigarette smoke—that make fried foods like French fries harmful. Oxidation reactions mutate the fatty acids, transforming them from natural and potentially nutritious into toxic aldehydes such as crotonaldehyde and n-hexanal. The result? Toxic oil.

Because restaurants reuse the oils in their deep fryers many times, oil toxicity becomes alarmingly potent. The study estimates that a 154-gram serving of potato chips (about a large serving) fried in seed oils used for an estimated 3-4 days contains aldehyde levels comparable to smoking 25 cigarettes a day. Yes, the same toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke—crotonaldehyde (1.8–5.7 mg) and n-hexanal (2.5–9.5 mg)—are absorbed into your fries and chips, transferring directly into your body when you eat them.

These aldehydes wreak havoc by causing oxidative stress, a process where free radicals damage cells, proteins, and DNA. Oxidative stress is a root cause of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s, which I discuss in depth in my book, 'Dark Calories'. Unlike stable fats like beef tallow or butter, which resist oxidation, seed oils dominate commercial frying because they’re cheap and widely available. This makes them a public health hazard, as fried foods are a dietary staple for many."

May 29, 2025 - "Toxic Nation" - The Movie

The very institutions we were told to trust, silently continue to make us sicker. So America’s Worst Health Crisis wasn’t accidental. It was fully engineered.

It exploded after a flood of untested chemicals, government-approved toxins, and pharma-first policies hit our homes, our schools, and our food supply.

Autism. Autoimmune. Obesity. Infertility. Cancer. All at the same time. All rising. All connected. And the agencies meant to protect us? They sold us out for profit.

Inside the film, you’ll discover:
- Food dyes banned overseas — still legally fed to American children.
- Industrial seed oils sold as “heart healthy” but wreaking havoc on our cellular health.
- Endocrine-disrupting chemicals hiding in household products, tap water, and skincare.
- A regulatory system complicit in decades of coverups.

May 13, 2025 - ICE Houston arrests 422 illegal aliens, deports 528 during week-long operation aimed at bolstering public safety

HOUSTON, TEXAS - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 422 illegal aliens, including 296 criminal aliens, and deported 528 aliens during a 7-day operation from May 4 – May 10 focused on bolstering public safety in the Houston area.

“In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, transnational gang members and criminal aliens have taken advantage of the crisis at our nation’s southern border to illegally enter the U.S.,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “After illegally entering the country, these violent criminal aliens have infiltrated our local communities and reigned terror on law-abiding residents leaving countless innocent victims in their wake. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to re-establish sovereignty over our southern border, the law enforcement community in Texas has banded together to remove these dangerous criminals from our country and restore law and order in our communities.”

"FBI Houston has surged quite a bit of resources in the form of agents and intelligence to support and assist DHS/HSI/ICE in identifying and arresting violent and wanted individuals,” said FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge Douglas Williams. “Our intel support is as strong as our tactical support. By working together and sharing what we know with our partners, we have been able to prioritize the worst of the worst criminals, and that’s what we will continue to do.”

May 8, 2025 - Vaccines in our lettuce & spinach?! Are you SERIOUS?

EDIBLE VACCINES? YES, IT’S REAL — AND YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT.

Congressman Thomas Massie just blew the lid off a chilling development:

“They’re using taxpayer dollars to fund mRNA vaccines grown in lettuce and spinach. Eat your salad — get injected.”

Despite Massie’s effort to defund this research in the Agriculture Appropriations Bill, it was tossed aside in favor of an omnibus — greenlighting another year of edible vaccine experiments.

April 30, 2025 - U.S. Government’s Bio-War Against America: 15 Historical Medical Horrors Inflicted on the American People by the Government Itself

As the research article linked below reveals, the U.S. government has routinely unleashed bioweapons on its own people. It has weaponized medicine, dropped aerosolized bioweapons on civilian populations in the USA and subjected American civilians—especially Black and marginalized populations—to horrific medical torture under the guise of "science."

The evidence is undeniable. Each of the 15 events listed in the article below can be independently verified through multiple historical sources.

The same agencies that murdered Black men in Tuskegee, sprayed cities with bioweapons, and drugged soldiers are now pushing vaccine mandates, bird flu terror, and mRNA gene-editing drugs.

If you think COVID was bad, wait until they roll out bird flu lockdowns. If you think mRNA injections are safe, wake up—they’re part of a long history of medical atrocities.

Your own government wants you dead. But they don’t want you to resist, which is why they use psyops to convince gullible, obedient people to line up and be injected with death jabs.

Don’t be gullible. Be informed, alert, aware. Stay alive with knowledge and resistance. Arm yourself with nutrition: Superfoods, anti-viral herbs and extracts that protect you against shedding. Use today’s best remedies and natural cures to stay alive.

April 23, 2025 - Mt. Fuji Bookings Now Open for 2025 Season

Online reservations for climbing Mt. Fuji's Yoshida Trail are now officially open for the 2025 season, as of April 24. It costs ¥4,000 per hiker, and payment can be made online. A digital ticket will then be issued. You can make a reservation via the official Mt. Fuji climbing website, as well as the ticketing platform Asoview (in Japanese).

The Mt. Fuji reservation system includes a date-change feature, allowing climbers to reschedule their tickets based on weather conditions or personal plans — depending on availability.

Note: The other Fuji trails also carry a ¥4,000 fee in 2025, and pre-registration is required to climb them. This opens on May 9.




April 2, 2025 - 25 U.S. states to ban atmospheric geoengineering chemtrail pollution

America is rising to reclaim her skies — 25 states strong, and now the Executive Branch is listening.

With 24 U.S. states now having introduced legislation to ban atmospheric geoengineering — including a soon-to-be filed bill from Michigan, the latest to join — the grassroots-led, people-powered movement is achieving what many once thought impossible: awakening the nation to the silent, shadowy manipulation of our weather and skies, polluting our waterways and landscapes with toxins.

Our skies — and our children — can no longer be treated as collateral damage in unregulated experiments cloaked in climate "solutions." The spraying of our atmosphere with unaccountable aerosols, nanoparticles, and chemical agents violates bodily sovereignty, environmental sanctity, and human dignity.

What was once dismissed as conspiracy is now the subject of state-level policy, grassroots mobilization, and now — federal attention.

A national and international coalition — including members of the Global Wellness Forum, representing tens of millions of concerned citizens in the U.S., and hundreds of millions globally are rising in solidarity for clean air, clear skies, and sovereign health.

Feb. 28, 2025 - ‘Unpacking the Lies We’ve Been Fed’ film

The makers of ‘The Truth About Cancer’ and ‘The Truth About Vaccines’ now bring you ‘Unpacking The Lies We’ve Been Fed’, a documentary exposing the decades-long agenda to keep America sick, obese, and addicted and the importance of Robert F. Kennedy’s nomination to HHS Secretary.

Uncovering the corruption of the food industry, to vaccine induced autism, to geoengineering, ‘Unpacking the Lies We’ve Been Fed’ unpacks every lie the American people have been told about public health.

Featuring predominant names in the health industry like Charlene Bollinger, Mike Adams, Dane Whittington, Simon Goddek, and Dr. Mary Bowden, this all-star cast reaffirms Robert F. Kennedy’s decades of research, and paves the way for his agenda to upend the U.S. Government agencies that have profited off of the suffering of a sick and diseased America.

Feb. 23, 2025 - Bombshell Global Study Links mRNA Vaccines to Serious Kidney Injuries

The study, led by Dr. Hyeon Seok Hwang, analyzed adverse events from the WHO’s VigiBase, and what they found is jaw-dropping: the worst vaccine-linked renal safety signals ever recorded.

While everyone talks about post-vaccine myocarditis, what no one mentions is the devastation the COVID-19 shots inflict on the kidneys.

This means people receiving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines reported Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) at more than twice the rate compared to those receiving other drugs in the WHO database.

For Glomerulonephritis (GN): Inflammation of the glomeruli—the kidney’s tiny filters—a condition that can cause swelling and kidney failure, the numbers are even worse.

This means COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were linked to more than 13 times the expected rate of GN compared to other vaccines.

The study’s results are affirmed by the work of data analyst John Beaudoin Sr., who has been sounding the alarm on post-vaccine kidney injuries since uncovering damning data in Massachusetts.

After expanding his analysis to the entire United States, he discovered over 210,000 excess deaths from acute kidney injury (AKI) since 2021, which he blames on the hospital death protocols and the COVID-19 injections.

“We’re talking close to a quarter of a million people by a single cause of death,” he lamented.

“And because it [deaths] goes down to very young ages, what you have is the greatest number of life years lost of anything in the last 100 years in the United States, except for World War II.”

Feb. 14, 2025 - Legislative efforts to BAN dangerous mRNA COVID-19 injections now underway in several U.S. states

Bills to ban the shots are being drafted and considered in Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, and Washington State.

“The evidence is clear—over 81,000 physicians, scientists, and concerned citizens, 240 elected officials, 17 professional organizations, excess mortality, negative efficacy, and DNA contamination call for the IMMEDIATE removal of COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ from the market. Failure to do so constitutes mass negligent homicide,” Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher says.

Hulscher will be “directly involved in three of these [ban the shot] initiatives within the next few weeks here, and I will be providing undeniable evidence for market withdrawal, including but not limited to the negative efficacy, DNA contamination, and excess mortality data to these lawmakers.”

He predicts, “I think these bills eventually—and all these initiatives—will end up reaching a critical mass. And what that means is it’ll reach a certain point where the federal government will have to respond. They will have to follow suit with the states and finally get these off the market.

Feb. 1, 2025 - Florida Medicaid data again confirms childhood vaccines likely responsible for nearly 80% of the autism cases in U.S.

A stunning new autism study was just published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature: “Vaccination and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Study of Nine-Year-Old Children Enrolled in Medicaid” by Mawson and Jacob.

The study examined Florida Medicaid data obtained from the now defunct DEVEXI. Key findings are summarized in the stunning figure below where NDD are neurodevelopmental disorders.

In plain English, from a child’s mental health standpoint, vaccination is a DISASTER.

85% of learning disabilities in kids & nearly 80% of all autism cases in America are being caused by the CDC childhood vaccination schedule. If we want to reduce autism, we should stop the vaccines.

Every single study that has been ever published in the peer-reviewed literature has shown unvaccinated kids are healthier in all measures than their vaccinated peers.

This is the best study to date confirming that vaccines are causing most of the autism in America.

Jan. 19, 2025 - BREAKING: Japanese Press Conference Reveals High Death Rates Among Young People, Confirms Vaccinated Individuals More Susceptible to Infection!

"Even more concerning is that based on the data published by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, the average life expectancy has unfortunately decreased. It was the highest in the world,​ leading globally in 2020, when the pandemic occurred. However, it declined thereafter in 2021, the year when vaccines were widely distributed. And the following year in 2022, it shortened even further, representing a significant decrease. This is because young people are dying, often due to suicide. It’s an excess mortality that points toward unacknowledged side effects, significantly affecting the average life expectancy."

American man rescued on Mt. Fuji trail before it opens; camping from June 26th

An American male tourist (67) who had climbed Mt. Fuji's Fujinomiya trail alone before it opened on June 26th and was camping in a tent near the new 7th station was rescued on the morning of the 4th and taken to a hospital with suspected hypothermia.

The man reportedly became unwell in the morning of the 4th and asked other climbers for help. He was transported by mountain hut staff to the Fujinomiyaguchi 5th Station using heavy machinery, and was taken to the hospital around 12:00 pm on the 4th. Although he is suspected to have hypothermia, he is able to talk and is not in any danger to his life.

Who holds the record for climbing Mt. Fuji the most number of times?

As of Sept. 2023, it was reported that 80-year-old mountaineer Yoshinobu Jitsukawa (實川欣伸), known as "Mr. Fuji," had climbed Japan's tallest peak a record 2,230 times! WOW! Jitsukawa, a resident of Numazu in Shizuoka Prefecture, made his first ascent of Mt. Fuji in the summer of 1985 when he went with his family at the age of 42.

After then becoming insanely passionate about scaling Fujisan, thru the years he's known to have often climbed Mt. Fuji twice a day and more than 200 times a year. Starting from the Fujinomiya 5th station, in a single day he could make 2 round trips to the summit in 8-10 hours.

He has also succeeded in completing 8 consecutive round trips in about 55 hours and climbing all 4 routes in one go in about 31 hours. In 2014 Jitsukawa surpassed the previous record of 1,672 times set by Fusakichi Kaji (1900-1967), a legendary mountain porter ("goriki"), a person who carries cargo high up in the mountains.

He's also conquered the highest peaks on 6 continents, but has given up on scaling Everest after 3 failed attempts, the last time partially losing 3 fingers on his left hand from frostbite.

Japan Prefectures Mulling Charging Fees for Mt. Fuji Rescues

Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures are considering the idea of charging fees for rescuing Mount Fuji climbers during the season in which the mountain straddling the two central Japan prefectures is closed. Shizuoka Governor Yasutomo Suzuki has instructed prefectural officials to examine the idea, sources said. The Yamanashi government has also begun to consider such fees.

At the country’s tallest peak, there were accidents requiring rescues in April during the closed season. Local mayors have called for introducing rescue charges. Saitama Prefecture, neighboring Yamanashi and Tokyo, collects fees for helicopter rescues from climbers.

ICE Houston arrests 422 illegal aliens, deports 528 during week-long operation aimed at bolstering public safety

HOUSTON, TEXAS - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 422 illegal aliens, including 296 criminal aliens, and deported 528 aliens during a 7-day operation from May 4 – May 10 focused on bolstering public safety in the Houston area.

“In recent years, some of the world’s most dangerous fugitives, transnational gang members and criminal aliens have taken advantage of the crisis at our nation’s southern border to illegally enter the U.S.,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “After illegally entering the country, these violent criminal aliens have infiltrated our local communities and reigned terror on law-abiding residents leaving countless innocent victims in their wake. Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to re-establish sovereignty over our southern border, the law enforcement community in Texas has banded together to remove these dangerous criminals from our country and restore law and order in our communities.”

"FBI Houston has surged quite a bit of resources in the form of agents and intelligence to support and assist DHS/HSI/ICE in identifying and arresting violent and wanted individuals,” said FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge Douglas Williams. “Our intel support is as strong as our tactical support. By working together and sharing what we know with our partners, we have been able to prioritize the worst of the worst criminals, and that’s what we will continue to do.”
