Searching for the way home in the land of the lost.

If an ingredient list says carmine, cochineal extract, or Natural Red 4, that's an insect. A scale insect farmed on cactus, mostly in Peru, dried and crushed. It takes around 70,000 of them to make a pound of dye. It's in strawberry yogurt, pink candy, juice, some cheese spreads, and most red lipstick. Until 2011 the label didn't have to say much. Carmine could be listed as artificial color or just color added. FDA changed it after reports of severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, and now the name has to be printed. The part I find interesting is what FDA left out. The petition asked that labels also state the color comes from insects. The dairy industry objected, saying there was no need, and FDA agreed. So the rule is that the word carmine has to appear, and nothing has to tell you what carmine is.

Once you realize that many highly skilled trades don’t even make 1963 minimum wage today ($57.90/hr), you realize why we are short highly skilled trades 🤷‍♂️
Replying to @UziCryptoo
Minimum wage in 1963 in the US was $1.25 That was 5 silver quarters. Today the melt value of those 5 silver quarters is $57.90. Instead, US Federal minimum wage is $7.25 That's the whole ruse...that's the whole game. @wbmosler

.@realBrandonGill: "It's only appropriate that we kick this off with a land acknowledgment. I'd like to acknowledge that we stand here today in the great state of Texas and the United States of America-- the ancestral homeland of great American patriots, pioneers and explorers... who bled and died to build the greatest civilization known to man."

In her latest sciolistic letter to me, @SenWarren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking. What is equally shocking, but not surprising: not a single member of the media mob has a rudimentary-enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error. To reiterate: under @POTUS, the United States delivers for America’s trusted partners. For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take any entry level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on Foreign Exchange for Dummies. Although I am not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan.

Yes. My son died 16 days after his 1st Pfizer shot. Histopathology showed myocarditis, pericarditis and fatal aortic dissection. Spike protein was found in his aorta which decimated the endothelium. No nucleocapsid- he never had covid. He was healthy, no collagen deficiency disorders, no aneurysm, no high blood pressure. His death was a crime and those perpetrating the lie of safe and effective must be brought to justice for reckless endangerment with depraved indifference to human life. His death was not rare- you can’t find what you don’t look for. Had I not done extensive forensic investigations I would never have known the truth. His peer reviewed and published case directly links the vaccine to his death. I will never forgive or forget and will seek justice no matter how long it may take.

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions. In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country. Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country. America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

For those confused why Vance would think this, read chapter 13 of Broken Money. The chapter is free here: lynalden.com/wp-content/uplo…
JD Vance wants to end the US dollar's position as a global reserve currency, because he thinks it allows Americans to consume too much and do so too cheaply. Keep that in mind the next time you order a $20 burrito on door dash.

34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails from Fauci's government phone are being released. The first batch is damning. In a group chat with CDC Director Walensky and Surgeon General Murthy, Fauci raised the concern that the cytokine storm and fever after the second dose "could theoretically be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester." Walensky agreed: "Definitely a good point." Murthy called it "really helpful." Nine days later, Fauci went on camera and said there were "no red flags" for pregnant women. This despite the fact that pregnant women were excluded from the vaccine trials entirely, a problem flagged in his own inbox months earlier by the National Academies. Then Drew Weissman, co-inventor of the mRNA platform, emailed Fauci directly saying his team had concerns about LNPs reaching the placenta and fetus and were "talking to all of the appropriate people." Fauci forwarded it internally. The public messaging never changed. They knew. They discussed it in writing. They said the opposite out loud.

You literally closed by account without reason and have kept nearly £12,000 you have not returned. You said it was because of Bitcoin, but I never used @wise to buy Bitcoin. It turned out it was because a Bitcoin company paid an invoice. You froze my account, froze my funds and have not returned a VAT payment that was sent to you.

Bitcoin will likely bottom BELOW Realized Price (~$53k), just like it did in EVERY previous bear market. Right now the grey Realized Price line has been glued to the black 200-week Geometric MA line since 2023. What do you think: new low incoming or different this time?👇

Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I declassified and released never-before-seen documents exposing the truth about Fauci directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. Go to ODNI.gov to see for yourself.
