Everything James Miller is saying here is true. I corresponded with him for a year (he was pretty traumatized over what happened) before he was ready to go public. The great shame about this is that he was the top-tier surgeon everyone wishes they could get, but after being forced to flee WA he can only practice outpatient medicine. That said, he's had amazing results for patients with therapies like DMSO, so he's arguably doing more good now. However, it underscores a major issue in medicine--the doctors patients can trust to break protocols to ensure they survive in the hospital (rather than how they always say "sorry, nothing could be done") tend to always be forced out. This is a major reason why whenever we can safely do it, we prioritize try to get patients well who are on the border of being hospitalized.
“The head of infectious disease medicine at my hospital privately told me that he was working with the state government to restrict the civil rights of unvaccinated people.” - James P. Miller, MD

After a year of working at this, I continue to be astounded at how many "incurable" eye conditions keep rapidly responding to DMSO. Here I show just how much eye care could improve if we started using what's been in front of us the whole time. midwesterndoctor.com/p/dmso-…

When you add up all the injuries the US has inflicted upon itself in response to 911 one can easily conclude that it was the most effective act of war ever conducted.

The effective way the clarinet player does a musical call and response to the singer is just mesmerizing. "Tu vuo' fa' l'americano" by Renato Carosone: cover by Hetty and the Jazzato Band, an Anglo-Italian jazz quintet.

Independent / isolated Societies, Nations, Civilizations COLLAPSE / become "extinct" MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY. A globally interconnected "Extinction" Event is not only likely within 100 years but will be GAME OVER with none left standing to rebuild. (Though we'll have a sky FULL of blinking "Stars" to worship...)

I think your observations seem largely true. It's like everything that was once fun and human is deliberately being made less fun and less human. Everything.

Largely removed from the environment which promoted our development, we have been de-evolving for some time now. If only due to momentum, our de-evolution is escalating in depth, breadth and rate.

If you had trusted the settled science of the day, here is how it would have gone. 1890s: you dose the baby with Bayer's new cough syrup, the non-addictive alternative to morphine, marketed for children. It was heroin. They named it after the German for heroic. 1900s: you rub calomel teething powder on your infant's gums. It is a mercury compound, and it leaves a generation with pink disease. Swollen, peeling hands and feet, screaming for months, and some of them died. 1910s: you cook in Crisco, launched by a soap and candle company, because cottonseed oil is modern and lard is what your mother used. The process that made it solid produced trans fat, banned outright a century later. 1920s: you drink Radithor, certified radioactive water, on prescription. Eben Byers took fourteen hundred bottles for his vitality. His jaw was removed in pieces and he was buried in a lead coffin. 1930s: a chemist dissolves a new sulfa drug in diethylene glycol, which is antifreeze. It kills 107 people, mostly children, and only then does America give the FDA power to demand safety testing. 1940s: your doctor lights a Camel in the surgery. More doctors smoke them than any other brand, and the advert runs in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which sold him the page. 1950s: DDT is sprayed over your kitchen, your garden and your children at school. The man who found its insecticidal properties has already been given a Nobel Prize. 1960s: your wife takes thalidomide for morning sickness because it is remarkably safe. More than ten thousand children are born with missing and shortened limbs. 1970s: the country puts down the butter and picks up the margarine, on the instruction of the American Heart Association. The fat everybody switched to was banned in 2015 as unsafe at any level. 1980s: the fat comes out of everything and sugar goes back in to make it edible. Obesity begins a climb it has never come off. 1990s: your father is prescribed OxyContin, because fewer than one per cent get addicted. The company later pleads guilty to criminal misbranding, and the overdose count runs into hundreds of thousands. 2000s: you take Vioxx for your knee. It is pulled in 2004, and the FDA's own safety officer estimates tens of thousands of excess heart attacks. Not one of those was fringe. Every one had a professional body, a literature and a man in a white coat standing behind it. Nobody who followed that advice was stupid. They were obedient, to the most qualified people available. Settled is a word about money. It means the questions stopped being funded, so they stopped being asked. So which of today's instructions will your grandchildren read out in disbelief. The oil washed in hexane and built into every cell you own. The statin that blocks the pathway making your hormones, to prevent one heart attack per hundred people. The injection where a third of the loss is muscle. The infant formula built out of vegetable oil. All settled. None of it funded to be otherwise.

A severely limited & Rosy observation, though it's refreshing to see it spoken aloud: humans have been adapting to our technologies since Fire, but the extent of adaptation increased exponentially with mass computing. The consequences are the world we live in today... yahoo.com/tech/ai/articles/g…

Animal Farm by George Orwell, in short: 1. Old Major, the fattest pig on the farm, delivers a sermon about "liberation." He has never missed a meal in his life – but he is the most envious of the Man – the producer, the entrepreneur… 2. “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” – the ideology is manufactured from the start, designed not to free the animals but to direct their resentment away from the pigs and toward a useful target. Every revolution needs an enemy. The pigs chose the farmer. 3. The revolution’s commandments were never a constitution. They were a management tool – sacred enough to motivate, vague enough to rewrite, and controlled from the beginning by the only ones who could read – the pigs. 4. Boxer the horse, the most honest creature on the farm, decent, loyal yet naive, totally devoted, responds to every setback with the same answer: “I will work harder!” He means it completely. He works himself half to death. It is the most heartbreaking sentence in the book – because the new system is perfectly designed to absorb exactly that kind of devotion and give nothing back. When he finally collapses from exhaustion, he is sold to the knacker. For cash. The pigs buy more whisky with the proceeds. The other animals are told he died in a hospital receiving the best care. The most useful animal on the farm is the one who never once suspects he is the product. 5. The commandments get rewritten at night not because power corrupted the revolution – the rewriting was always the plan. Language was the weapon from the first speech Old Major ever gave. 6. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – this is not the system’s failure. It is the system’s true face, finally visible once the animals are too exhausted and confused to object. 7. Orwell’s message: the lie came first. And the "liberation" it promised delivered something far worse than what came before – because the fattest pig was merely selfish at the start, but by the end is selfish and fluent in the language of "justice." He took all the eggs. He took everything. And made the hens thank him for it. The fattest pig knew what he was doing all along…
Atlas Shrugged made simple: 1. Society runs on a small number of highly capable producers – industrialists, inventors, engineers – whose work everyone depends on but takes for granted. 2. The system starts rewarding need over achievement: the more capable you are, the more you’re expected to sacrifice for those who aren’t. 3. Success gets treated like a debt – taxed, regulated, resented – until the most capable start asking why they bother trying at all. 4. One by one, led by a man named John Galt, they simply withdraw – walking away rather than keep propping up a system that punishes them for producing. 5. Without them, the whole structure collapses, revealing that the “automatic” prosperity everyone assumed was actually being generated by specific, irreplaceable people. 6. Atlas is the Titan from Greek myth, condemned to carry the sky on his shoulders forever – Rand’s stand-in for the producer class, holding up civilization while getting blamed for it. 7. “Shrugged” is the whole argument in one word: Atlas doesn’t fight, doesn’t protest – he just quietly sets the weight down. Nobody realized the sky was being held up by anyone in particular, until the day it isn’t. You don’t want us? We just go…🤷🏻‍♂️
