"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Government of Colombia, announces that, as of September 19, 2026, it formally severed diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran. This sovereign decision responds to the pillars guiding the Government’s foreign policy regarding national and hemispheric security, and the fight against transnational crime, taking into account alleged links between the Iranian government and international terrorist groups and other narcoterrorist groups that threaten the country’s security. Colombia also took into account documented human rights violations committed by the Iranian government on its territory, verified attacks against countries that are not part of the conflict in the Middle East, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the obstruction of the authorities’ efforts to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to verify the scope of its nuclear program. The aforementioned actions have deteriorated Colombia’s trust in the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The measure directed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran clarifies that the above does not mean the severance of consular relations, in accordance with Article 45 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. Therefore, the Directorate of Protocol will inform the Iranian authorities of the procedure to be followed. The defense of national sovereignty constitutes an indispensable pillar of Colombian foreign policy. In this context, Colombian diplomacy will protect the country’s borders, reject any form of external interference, and promote the defense of its citizens and Colombia’s interests before the international community."
Colombia announced it has severed diplomatic relations with Iran.

Carl Jung’s views and treatment of Catholics. Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, had a profound respect for the Catholic sacraments and famously viewed the Catholic Church's liturgical practices as a powerful system of "mental hygiene" and psychological protection. [1] Throughout his 40-year career, Jung noted that he treated very few practicing Catholics (estimating only about six in total). He famously attributed this to the fact that the Church's sacramental life already met the deep, archetypal needs of the human psyche. When he did encounter a patient who was a practicing Catholic, his standard protocol was not to analyze them away from their faith, but to actively send them back to it. [1, 2, 3, 4] His specific observations on how and why Catholic patients did so well with Confession, Mass, and Holy Communion reveal his unique psychological perspective: 1. On Confession (The Cure for "Moral Isolation") Jung viewed the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a highly advanced form of therapy that had been practicing "shadow work" centuries before modern psychology existed. [1] Breaking the Secret: Jung taught that holding onto a secret sin or guilt cuts a person off from the rest of humanity, creating deep neurosis and what he called "moral isolation." [1, 2] The Power of Absolution: Vocalizing sins to a priest—someone officially sanctioned to grant forgiveness—instantly relieves psychological strain. Jung noted that the ritual act of confession readmitted the "lost sheep" back into the human community, providing a profound sense of emotional and psychological relief. He even jokingly remarked to colleagues that if more people regularly utilized confession, he would lose a massive portion of his therapy clients. [1, 2, 3] 2. On the Mass and Holy Communion (A Shield from the Unconscious) In his work Psychology and Religion, Jung wrote one of his most famous directives regarding Catholic patients: "If the patient is a practicing Catholic, I invariably advise him to confess and to receive communion in order to protect himself from immediate experience, which might easily prove too much for him." [1] Psychological Protection: By "immediate experience," Jung meant the raw, terrifying, and chaotic depths of the unconscious mind. He believed that a human being confronting their deepest inner demons entirely alone could easily be driven to madness or deep depression. [1] The Living Symbol: The Catholic Mass, the rich dogma, and the Holy Eucharist provided what Jung called a "symbolic life." The liturgical ritual channels these intense, overpowering psychological energies into safe, sacred, and transformative symbols. By participating in the Mass and consuming Communion, the patient experiences a profound "union of opposites" (the human intersecting with the divine), which resolves inner psychic contradictions without destroying the individual's mental stability. [1, 2, 3, 4] 🎚️ The Core Takeaway Ultimately, Jung did not view Catholic rituals as mere superstitions; he viewed them as a highly sophisticated, historically proven framework for psychic health. He explicitly warned his Catholic patients never to use psychotherapy as a replacement for God or the sacraments, arguing that if they sincerely belonged to the Church, they should fully live out their faith to keep their minds whole. [1, 2, 3] In A Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the Trinity, Carl Jung interpreted the Trinity as a map of the evolution of human consciousness through the stages of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, while noting that the exclusion of a "fourth" or quaternity leaves the structure psychologically incomplete. Jung subsequently contrasted Catholics and Protestants by arguing that the Catholic Church's robust dogmas and rituals act as a protective psychological container, whereas the Protestant Reformation stripped away these visual symbols and left individuals to confront the raw chaos of the unconscious mind.

‼️‼️‼️BREAKING‼️‼️‼️ President Trump secures the defense of America in the Arctic, the control of polar routes and mining rights with a PERMANENT Greenland Accord! STRONG WIN FOR AMERICA! America locked in PERPETUAL, open-ended military access to Greenland without spending a penny or rupturing NATO. The 22 September 2026 pact amends the 1951 defense agreement: the United States can expand Pituffik Space Base and build additional sites at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, with more defense areas possible later. U.S. aircraft and ships get broad overflight, landing, and undersea rights access. If Greenland becomes independent, it stays in NATO and take on Denmark’s duties under the pact, so American basing remains permanent: So we get permanent Arctic capabilities for early missile warning, control of polar approaches, and we keep rivals out. The President also locked in exclusion of Non-NATO countries: who cannot put a military presence in Greenland. Also excluded: any sensitive mining and infrastructure investment from outside NATO, NATO partners, or the EU, without unanimous consent from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland. the same three-way screen. Trump then locked in the permanent U.S. ability to secure the United States and Greenland and barred adversaries from bases or sensitive capital investments with no sunset date. THE “DONROE DOCTRINE”, getting executed! Denmark and Greenland kept formal sovereignty and self-determination.

🚨 CRIME OF THE CENTURY UNCOVERED 🚨 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just dropped a BOMBSHELL that should shake America to its core. When he walked into HHS, he found the ultimate betrayal: Xavier Becerra and the Biden administration gutted the anti-fraud team that was supposed to protect $2.2 TRILLION in taxpayer money every single year. There were only 80 people watching over 50 states and 5 territories. Becerra transferred 76 of them out. Only 6 people left. Six. For 4 MILLION transactions a day. It was an open invitation for the thieves. And they came running. Phony hospices in Los Angeles billing $6,000 a month for patients who didn’t even exist. Durable medical equipment fraud — tens of billions stolen. Autism services — tens of billions more looted. The store was left wide open… and they cleaned it out. RFK Jr. is calling it exactly what it is: a deliberate dismantling of the last line of defense against the greatest government fraud in modern American history. This wasn’t incompetence. This was the crime of the century. And the American people just found out who left the vault door unlocked.

A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional. Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”: This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed. The agent explained: “Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name. He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’ During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’ When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him. After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President? After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine? After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE? Trump RUINED me. He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again. That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.” Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.

In 1928, Alberto D’Apolito was a seminarian, preparing for ordination to the priesthood. During a few days of vacation, he visited Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo. One day, Alberto noticed Padre Pio staring out the monastery window at a mountain in the distance. He appeared to be deep in thought. Alberto greeted Padre Pio, but there was no response. When Alberto drew closer, he realized that Padre Pio was not even aware of his presence. Alberto tried to kiss Padre Pio’s hand but he noticed that it was completely rigid. He heard Padre Pio say, “Ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis.” Padre Pio was pronouncing the words of absolution in Latin, just as he did when he was hearing someone’s confession. Alberto ran to get the superior of the monastery, Fr. Tommaso. Fr. Tommaso rushed to where Padre Pio was standing. Padre Pio was still in the process of repeating the Latin formula for absolution when Father Tommaso approached him. Suddenly Padre Pio shook himself, as though he was waking up from a deep sleep. He looked at Alberto and Father Tommaso and greeted them. “Oh, I was not aware that you were standing here beside me,” Padre Pio said. “I was looking out the window at the mountains.” A short time later, a telegram arrived for Father Tommaso from the city of Turin. It was from the relative of a man who had just passed away. The telegram was sent in order to thank Father Tommaso for allowing Padre Pio to leave the monastery and assist the dying man. It confirmed to Father Tommaso and Alberto what they had already suspected. Padre Pio had gone in bilocation to hear the man’s confession and to assist him in his last moments. Padre Pio once told Father Parente, “I only know one thing, I go wherever God sends me.” On another occasion, he said to Father Funicelli, “All I can tell you is that I always try to remain attached to the thread of God’s will.” Through the gift of bilocation, Padre Pio was able to visit many of his spiritual children who were in great need. He comforted those who were bereaved, came to the rescue of those in danger, and assisted the dying. It was part of his mission to souls. He truly remained conformed to the thread of God’s will.

In 1979, just weeks before he died, Archbishop Fulton Sheen gave his final interview to Marie Torre of WABC. The 5 most important things he said in the interview were.... 1. Modern erotic culture is a failure of purpose, not merely a failure of rules. 2. Children require moral formation, not permissive abandonment disguised as freedom. 3. The human heart wants life, truth, and love in an absolute form; this desire points to God. 4. The Church cannot become credible by copying the world. 5. The family depends on sacrificial love, not mutual self-satisfaction. When he gave this interview, no one knew it would be his last. Let us never forget his wisdom.

BREAKING STUDY: Nattokinase Breaks Down SPIKE PROTEIN, AMYLOID MICROCLOTS, BLOOD CLOTS, and SHRINKS ARTERIAL PLAQUE We assembled DECADES of evidence to uncover the powerful MULTI-TARGET EFFECTS of nattokinase: - Degrades spike protein - Breaks down harmful amyloid proteins - Dissolves abnormal amyloid microclots - Breaks down fibrin blood clots - Boosts the body’s natural clot-dissolving system - Shrinks arterial plaque - Lowers blood pressure - Reduces blood-clotting factors and platelet clumping Our new paper, “Proteolytic Targets and Clinical Benefits of Oral Nattokinase: Spike Protein and Amyloid Degradation, Fibrinolysis, and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction,” was produced through a collaboration between The Wellness Company and the McCullough Foundation. It represents one of the most comprehensive evaluations of nattokinase to date, uniquely integrating its proteolytic, cardiovascular, pharmacokinetic, amyloid, and spike-protein literature into a single paper. After oral dosing, nattokinase-related activity shows up in human blood and changes clotting and clot-breakdown markers within hours. Three independent labs have now shown that nattokinase-related enzymes can BREAK DOWN SPIKE PROTEIN in vitro—including purified nattokinase itself. At higher doses, human imaging studies reported about a 36% SHRINKAGE in carotid artery plaque—suggesting the effective range may begin around 6,000 FU/day. Randomized human trials also show modest BLOOD-PRESSURE reductions with nattokinase, with pooled decreases of about 3.5 mmHg systolic and 2.3 mmHg diastolic. And in long-term population studies, higher natto intake was associated with a 25% LOWER RISK of cardiovascular death and a 32% LOWER RISK of stroke death. Nattokinase has been well tolerated across human studies, with no notable adverse events reported across six randomized trials. Even 10,800 FU/day for 12 months was used in a large observational cohort without reported excess bleeding. This inexpensive, orally available enzyme holds immense promise for cardiovascular risk reduction in the post-COVID era. It now deserves large-scale clinical testing for cardiovascular risk reduction and other post-vaccination injury applications. We plan to launch some of these studies shortly. @twc_health @McCulloughFund @P_McCulloughMD @DrHarveyRisch @DrKellyVictory @jathorpmfm @drdrew @PeterGillooly

PATHETIC! The NFL just fined a cornerback for giving God the glory. Arizona’s Kei’Trel Clark wrote “Glory be to God” on his eye black in Week 1. The league hit him with a $6,651 fine. He posted the letter and said he still has to report to God on judgment day, so he will keep giving that glory out loud. The @NFL should be ashamed of itself.

The formal adoption of our national motto in 1956 was motivated by Americans’ urgency to declare our opposition to the deadly Marxist philosophy of communism and socialism. In 1962, Congress voted to display "In God We Trust" permanently above the Speaker’s rostrum as a rebuke to the godless Soviet Union. That unanimous vote was by voice, because not one representative from either party opposed it. Two weeks ago, we held a vote on the House floor to condemn the Marxist philosophy of socialism and safeguard election integrity with voter ID. But this time, 192 Democrats voted AGAINST the resolution. This is no longer your father’s Democratic Party.
