Do you, or someone you love have lingering health problems, whether major or minor, that do not respond to conventional approaches? These situations are very discouraging, to say the least. Many people spend a great deal of time and money looking everywhere they can for answers to no avail. Alternatives like medical intuitives are always an option but often one finds that being able to diagnose a stubborn situation does not always equate to pinpointing the most effective solution for it.

But what if you marry a medical intuitive with the ability to do rapid, personal DNA-based analysis and a proven, professional background in being a nutritionist? Well, that's something else!

Essentially, you get a customized, personal, one-of-a-kind program for every client which, it turns out, has been proven to be widely and significantly effective.

That's what Teri Cochrane, our upcoming TransitionTalks speaker does. She builds diets and supplement plans for people with all kinds of health problems including things like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and about anything else that really work.

Conventional approaches to healthcare are based on statistical studies, large groups of people who reportedly respond positively (somewhat, at least), to the design of the study. It's all based on general, large groups of people, not on your specific situation. The difference with Teri's approach is that each solution she proposes is literally derived from your personal DNA, so it is specific to you.

This is a really big idea that is a clear indicator of what the future is likely to be. Hippocrates is famous for having said, "Food is medicine". Teri Cochrane has uniquely built an international reputation on applying that dictum in very practical terms... and in the process helped thousands of people.

Come hear Teri Cochrane describe and demonstrate this extraordinary harbinger of the future that empowers individuals and clearly demonstrates that you have the capability to effectively address almost anything.

Join us July 20th, either in person or via livestream!  All tickets include access to the replay for six months following the original presentation.

“I’m so delighted to present at the Arlington Institute, where Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden are regular speakers. It's an honor to be included and I'm looking forward to seeing you all there."

Learning Dance Moves Could Help Humanoid Robots Work Better With Humans - UC San Diego Today, July 11, 2024

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have trained a humanoid robot to effortlessly learn and perform a variety of expressive movements, including simple dance routines and gestures like waving, high-fiving and hugging, all while maintaining a steady gait on diverse terrains.

The enhanced expressiveness and agility of this humanoid robot pave the way for improving human-robot interactions in settings such as factory assembly lines, hospitals and homes, where robots could safely operate alongside humans or even replace them in hazardous environments like laboratories or disaster sites.

Explosive Hearing: Philippines’ House of Representatives Investigates 290K+ Excess Deaths Correlated with Experimental Vaccines - Asia-Pacific Research, July 03, 2024

An explosive hearing unfolded at the Philippines’ House of Representatives, focusing on the concerning increase of over 290,000 excess deaths.

As people start to connect the dots to the roll-out of experimental vaccines, heated discussions ensued, revealing shocking testimonies and data. Attorney Tanya Lat voiced the frustrations of many Filipinos. More here.

And Like That, The Claim Vaccines Are The World's Best Studied Product Dies - Substack, July 10, 2024

Wow. After decades of Dr. Stanley Plotkin and his vaccinologist disciples insisting vaccines are the most well studied products on the planet, they just penned an article admitting precisely the opposite.

They just admitted vaccines are not properly studied—neither pre-licensure nor post-licensure. They admitted, for example, “prelicensure clinical trials have limited sample sizes [and] follow-up durations” and that “there are not resources earmarked for postauthorization safety studies.” More here.

Study: Vaccines had “NO Beneficial Effects” - Armstrong Economics, July 5, 2024

YouTube recently removed an interview I participated in with Palisades Radio for mentioning this study. I have posted the video on Rumble at the bottom of this article and it can also be found on X and Spotify.

“Differential Increases in Excess Mortality in the German Federal States During the COVID-19 Pandemic” conducted by Christof Kuhbandner, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Regensburg in Bavaria Germany, and mathematician Prof. Matthias Reitzner at Osnabrück University, found that COVID-19 vaccines had “no beneficial effects” but did increase the mortality rate.

Autopsies Link 73.9% of Post-Jab Deaths to the Shot - Mercola, July 5, 2024

A bombshell study that The Lancet1 pulled within 24 hours is finally seeing the light of day. Now published in the peer-reviewed Forensic Science International journal, the systematic review of autopsy findings in deaths after COVID-19 shots revealed 73.9% “were directly due to or significantly contributed to” by the injections, 2 Canadian oncologist and cancer researcher Dr. William Makis posted on X:3.

“This is a victory of SCIENCE over CENSORSHIP!! Incredible perseverance by first author Nicolas Hulscher who didn't give up after LANCET pulled our paper within 24 hours after 100,000s of downloads for no legitimate reason. Big pharma put the squeeze on @TheLancet but has failed to stop us. Our paper was delayed by one year, and those actions of CENSORSHIP and CANCELLATION led to many deaths that could have been prevented. This paper could be a game changer.” More here.

Worldwide Class Action Lawsuit: Conversation with Todd Callender - Substack, July 7, 2024

Attorney Todd Callender joins Dr Ana Mihalcea with updates on work they are doing, both together and apart. Dr Mihalcea has served as an expert witness to his law firm and how he was struck by her words; that the ubiquitous onslaught of SmartDust and nanotechnology in our food, water and air – to say nothing of in the jabs – was leading to what she calls the "polymerization of humanity".

As Todd explains, "We had a sample of the contents of a vial that was actually injected into one of our clients and we had those contents analyzed with mass spectrometry but also some other testing that happened. There were 99 pages of what, effectively are pathogens, different materials, including barium-137 – and cesium-137 – radioactive materials! amongst other things. Read more here.

Made in Mexico - Armstrong Economics, July 9, 2024

US manufacturing is in trouble as companies move offshore to avoid taxation, high wages, and asinine green legislation. John Deere, an American branded company, announced it will move manufacturing from Illinois to Ramos, Mexico. This is part of a growing trend of companies simply finding it difficult to turn a profit in the US.

John Deere is moving numerous plants to Mexico, effectively eliminating over 4,000 manufacturing jobs. As I have noted in other posts, the Biden Administration sought to expand manufacturing roles by 1 million in 2024 but has seen a contraction. As for John Deere, the issue of a shrinking agricultural sector is partnering with heightened manufacturing costs. The Department of Agriculture noted a 7% decline in farms across the nation since 2017, with only 1.89 million remaining. The USDA predicts net income from agriculture will fall by 27% in 2024, or $43 billion. Animal products and crops are also believed to be in decline, with the USDA foreseeing a $21 billion loss in revenue for 2024. More here.

3D-Printed Egg Shells Can Help Bones Regrow - NewScientist, July 5, 2024

Egg shells could be used to help grow human bone fragments to repair broken or chipped bones.

Bones grow inside the body on a kind of scaffold called the extracellular matrix, which helps guide and feed bone-growing cells. Artificial scaffolds can be used to grow pieces of bone outside the body, which are then surgically implanted to repair broken bones, but these don’t always work well and can lead to complications.

The World’s First Face-and-Eye Transplant - Interesting Engineering, July 9th, 2024

In a landmark achievement for medical science, surgeons have successfully completed the world’s first face-and-eye transplant, marking a significant advancement in surgical capabilities and technology. This groundbreaking procedure, made possible by the integration of cutting-edge technologies, represents a major leap forward in the field of transplantation and reconstructive surgery.

The surgery, which involved intricate procedures and precision techniques, utilized state-of-the-art 3D-printed cutting guides to access the donor’s orbital socket with unparalleled accuracy. This innovative approach not only streamlined the surgical process but also minimized risks and enhanced the overall success rate of the transplant. More here.

Beyond Silicon: How Atom-Thin Materials Are Revolutionizing Chips - SciTechDaily, July 11, 2024

Scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are advancing semiconductor technology by developing thinner, more efficient materials called transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). These materials, only a few atoms thick, could lead to more compact and powerful computer chips. The research also investigates the role of defects within these materials, which can affect their electrical properties and potentially enhance their functionality.

Silicon computer chips have served us well for more than half a century. The tiniest features on chips currently sold are approximately 3 nanometers — a startlingly small size given that a human hair is roughly 80,000 nanometers wide. Reducing the size of features on chips will help us meet our endless need for more memory and processing power in the palm of our hand. But the limit of what can be achieved with standard materials and processes is near. More here.

No Aircon Needed? Salmon DNA Could Spawn New Sustainable Way to Keep Homes Cool in Summer - SCMP, July 6, 2024

Chinese scientists have developed a gel made from gelatin and salmon DNA that can reflect sunlight off buildings and create a cooling effect of up to 16 degrees Celsius.

The biodegradable material can be welded together on a large scale using only water, creating planks that can act as a passive cooling material that will reduce the need for energy-hungry cooling methods such as air conditioning and refrigeration that risk undermining the fight against global warming.

The invention of a novel solid electrolyte that eliminates the necessity for expensive Lithium sulfide (Li2S) has made advancements in battery design possible. More here.

World’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm to Add Capacity to Power 6,000,000 Homes - Interesting Engineering, June 28, 2024

he Dogger Bank Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore wind farm with a capacity of 3.6 GW, is set for an expansion after its developers, SSE and Equinor, have submitted a scoping report for phase D of the project. The latest move could see over two GW of capacity being added to the project, a press release said.  As countries worldwide look for cleaner methods to meet their energy demand, renewable power sources such as wind and solar are being adopted aggressively. For the UK, which has limitations in terms of land and sunshine, offshore wind projects are easier to deploy. 

Going offshore with its wind farms also allows the region to tap into the strong winds of the North Sea, leading to the consent for the Dogger Bank Wind Farm in 2015. While the project is still under construction in three phases, its developers are seeking permissions for a fourth phase that could further boost its energy production capacity.  Read more here.

The Vatican is Going Solar, Pope to Transition City to 100% Green Energy - Interesting Engineering, June 30, 2024

Pope Francis announces his plans to transition the Vatican to 100% solar power to support climate change efforts. In his motu proprio Fratello Sole, an official proclamation of the Pope to the Roman Catholic Church, he diffused his instructions to the Vatican authorities to begin working with Italian officials to turn the Vatican into a green organization..

The Catholic Church first began publicly addressing climate change with Pope Paul VI, who expressed his concern in 1971 that humanity’s “exploitation of nature runs the risk of destroying it.” Read more here.

A New Wave of Fearmongering Begins - Should You Be Concerned? - Mercola, July 2, 2024

Let the fearmongering begin (again)! Propaganda efforts are making people believe humans can die from the bird flu and that we must "do our part" in preventing the next global pandemic.

China’s Secret Fighter Jet’s Wings Transform into Deadly Drones Midair - Interesting Engineering, June 28, 2024

Chinese engineers have reportedly tested a new “combiner” blended-wing stealth aircraft with detachable drone wings. Reminiscent of “combiner” or “mini-con” transformers from the 1980s and 1990s, the new stealth fighter-come-drone mothership was tested at an undisclosed airport on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert.

In the event that some have called aerial warfare a “redefining” moment, if reports are true, the novel aircraft could indeed change aerial combat forever. The aircraft is said to stand out with its blended wing body and delta wing design, optimized for high-speed stealth operations. Read more here.

Did We Just Witness the FBI’s Attempt on Trump’s Life? - IPE, July 15, 2024

A number of independent security experts have noted egregious failures in the Secret Service’s protection of Trump’s venue. Perhaps most notable was the failure to include the nearby buildings in the security zone. Three possible explanations have been offered: incompetence, intent, and insufficient assigned resources. Incompetence is a possibility. In all federal agencies including the military, ability and merit have been set aside in order to make race- and gender- based appointments.

Intentionally leaving voids in the security arrangements is a possibility given the ruling elite’s and the Democrats hostility toward and hate for Donald Trump. The CIA director called Trump a “traitor to America.” The FBI hates Trump and has been trying to destroy Trump and his supporters for the past 8 years. The Secret Service was complicit in the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, an indication that the Secret Service could be again roped into such a plot. The various calls for Trump’s assassination from Democrats and presstitutes such as CNN and their portrayal of Trump as a dictator could have succeeded in presenting Trump’s assassination as a good thing. Security experts point out that the FBI and CIA have long had the ability to lead an unthinking or unstable person into criminal action. If the attempted assassination actually is the result of a plot, it indicates that the ruling elite do not expect the Democrats to win the presidential election. Otherwise, why take the risk of assassination? More here.

US Puts Attention on Forced Organ Harvesting - The Epoch Times, July 6, 2024

'Unfathomable': Lancet Study Estimates Gaza Death Toll May Exceed 186,000 - Common Dreams, July 8, 2024

"The horror unfolding in Gaza is unquestionably a genocide, and the full extent of that horror won't be truly known until it comes to an end," said one political analyst. Amid the decimation of Gaza's healthcare system and Israel's relentless attacks on the enclave, officials have struggled to account for all the Palestinians who have been killed since the Israel Defense Forces began its assault in October and a new analysis shows how "indirect" killings will likely push the death toll of the war to what one peace advocate called an "unfathomable" number.

In a letter published in the medical journal The Lancet on July 5, three public health experts cited a previous official death toll of 37,396, but pointed out that "armed conflicts have indirect health implications beyond the direct harm from violence," making it likely that the total number of deaths of Palestinians so far is much higher and could ultimately reach close to 200,000, if not more.

Natural Light is An Essential Nutrient - MidWesternDoctor, June 15, 2024

Over the years, I have become convinced sunlight is one of the most essential nutrients for the body. For example, as human beings moved further and further north from Africa and had increasingly lower sun exposure, their skin became progressively lighter, something which argues the human body needs light and that the whitening of human skin in the higher latitudes was a protecting mechanism designed to ensure enough of the remaining sunlight could get inside the body.

Unfortunately (outside of very specific patentable applications), since no one has a financial interest in promoting sunlight, almost everything we hear about instead focuses on why it’s terrible for us. More here.

I Want A Free Palestine And A Free Mind, A Free Heart And A Free World - Patreon, July 8, 2024


I want a free Palestine and a free mind, a free heart and a free world.

I want the oceans teeming with life and the air full of plant sex and dragonflies.

I want a society where nobody needs to work but most people want to, except for the occasional eccentric dude (and there will always be the occasional eccentric dude), but he will have a flute and a story to tell.

I want to write essays that open eyes and poems that open hearts and fan the flames of a revolution that will open the iron fist of the empire.

I want to make something so beautiful that people will want to destroy it, until they recognize it’s just a mirror of the beauty that hides choked back within themselves.

I want a fiftieth birthday party with a somber accordion player and his weeping wife who plays the saw, and I want everyone to drink ambrosia cocktails out of teapots and tell each other things they’ve never told anyone else before.

I want to hand out unconditional flowers at Flinders Street station and be happy with however they’re received.

Scientists Confirm Earth's Core Has Slowed Dramatically, Now Moving In Reverse - NDTV, July 8, 2024

Researchers said that the slowing down could change the length of one day on the Earth by fractions of a second. Deep within Earth lies a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling inside a larger top, enveloped in mystery. Since its discovery by Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann in 1936, this inner core has fascinated researchers. Its movement - including rotation speed and direction - has been the subject of a decades-long debate. Increasing evidence suggests that the core's spin has changed significantly in recent years, but scientists remain divided on what exactly is happening and what it signifies.

One major challenge is that Earth's deep interior is impossible to observe or sample directly. Seismologists have gathered information about the inner core's motion by examining the behaviour of waves from large earthquakes that reach this area. Differences between waves of similar strengths that passed through the core at different times have allowed scientists to measure changes in the inner core's position and calculate its spin, CNN reported.

‘The New Normal’: Work From Home is Here to Stay, US Data Shows - The Guardian, June 12, 2024

 Don’t call it work from home any more, just call it work. According to new data, what once seemed like a pandemic necessity has become the new norm for many Americans. Every year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases the results of its American time use survey, which asks Americans how much time they spend doing various activities, from work to leisure.

The most recent survey results, released at the end of June, show that the same percentage of employed people who did at least some remote work in 2023 is the same percentage as those who did remote work in 2022. In other words, it’s the first stabilization in the data since before the pandemic, when only a small percentage of workers did remote work, and a sign that remote work is here to stay.

They're Using Banks to Bring Everything Down - Whitney Webb 2024 Prediction - Forbidden News, July 5, 2024

The IMF, the World Bank are intimately tied with US Empire. The US Military even admitted, in documents that were published by WikiLeaks, that they're financial weapons of the US Military, the IMF and the World Bank. Today, we have Whitney Webb discussing the plan for 2024 by big banks and the elite and predicts that the mechanism to bring everything down has already begun.

Your Stocks Can Be Taken: David Webb, Big Picture (2024) - Substack, July 7, 2024

Since the 1980s, all financial securities, stocks and bonds have being secretly used by the financial sector as collateral to in derivatives trades. This is encumbering these assets and putting them at risk without the knowledge and consent of the owners of these assets. In the United States, the Uniform Commercial Code was revised between 1994-1998 to 'legalize' this fraud of using the client assets as collateral in derivative trades. This is the biggest financial crime story of not only our time but perhaps known world history.

All of your stocks and bonds can be taken with total legal certainty in the next financial collapse. Former hedge fund manager and investment banker, David Rogers Webb, explains the legal structures put in place to achieve the goal of us to "own nothing and be happy." David Webb calls this endgame "The Great Taking." This interview was shot as a part of a documentary about efforts to STOP the Great Taking.

If the Future Was Gay - Forbidden News, July 10, 2024

This little gem comes from the Content Machine, a self-described "horrible comedy duo", with their playful portrayal of a dystopian future, in which heterosexuality is outlawed and everybody must pretend that they're gay in order to survive – or else face "re-edugaytion" by the Gaystapo.

The Mainstream Worldview Is A Mass-Produced Artificial Psychosis - Caitlin Johnstone, July 14, 2024

People who still believe that the news media tell them the truth and that their nation and their world work pretty much the way they were taught in school are just as brainwashed and deluded as any QAnon cultist. The only difference is that their delusions are much more widely shared, and that the mechanisms used to brainwash them are much more high-budget and sophisticated. The mainstream worldview is really just a mass-produced artificial psychosis.

It’s actually difficult to wrap your mind around the scale and pervasiveness of the mountain of lies upon which this dystopian civilization is built. You think you’re starting to get a read on things, then you gain more knowledge and insight and realize it goes so much further than you thought. You start pulling on one thread, maybe some obvious lie about Iraq or Palestine or whatever, and the whole thing just keeps unraveling and unraveling and unraveling. Before you know it you’re staring at a society that is not just riddled with untruth, but actually woven entirely from the fabric of untruth. More here.

This Civilization Is Deeply Unnatural - Caitlin Johnstone, July 4, 2024

There is nothing natural about this. The way things are. The way we are living. If this was the natural and healthy way for human society to exist, it wouldn’t require mountains of propaganda spin to keep it going.

Without copious amounts of mental narratives being fed to us by people in power, it would never occur to anyone that it’s a good or normal idea to commit to wars of aggression on the other side of the planet, or to back genocides, or to militarize globally with hundreds of military outposts around the world, or to foster systems which allow a few people to have far too much while others have far too little, or to destroy the biosphere we depend on for survival for the sake of shareholder profits.

OK, many people have favorite crime writers. But I think they overlook one great one:

John D. MacDonald.

I won’t bother to describe his prolific output of novels. I’ll just give you lines from them:

“The only thing that prisons demonstrably cure is heterosexuality.”

“He had detected a certain sensitivity, a capacity for imagination, in the girl in New York. But the years and the roads, the bars and the cars and the beds and the bottles—they all have flinty edges, and they are the cruel upholstery in the dark tunnel down which the soul rolls and tumbles until no more abrasion is possible, until the ultimate hardness is achieved. So here she sat, having achieved the bland defensive heartiness of a ten-dollar whore.”

“Three cents’ worth of squeeze bottles, plus two cents’ worth of homogenized goo, plus prime-time television equals 28 million annual sales at 69 cents each. This is the heartbeat of industrial America.”

The Grand Heresy: Abolition of the Metaphysical?? - Kingsley Dennis, July 14, 2024

Friends,
Like many of you, I am also very aware of the layers of duplicity that are part of our physical world. I am aware that what is presented to us as 'politics' and 'news' is manufactured for our consumption and consent. And it is certainly not the 'real picture' of what is going on both behind the scenes as well as much higher above in the top level echelons of a global power cult. Yet I am also reminded of this following phase from Idries Shah: 'Yes, the world is an illusion. But Truth is always being shown there.' However, the majority of those people who prefer to make commentary about what they think is 'going on in the world' tend to do so from a purely materialistic viewpoint. That's why I 'don't do politics' - as it's a subject fully drowning in the manipulations of external complexities. Everyone is playing a game; and if you're not in on it, then you are being played too. What I prefer to take a look at is the bigger picture scenario, which takes us beyond the purely physical and into realms beyond the sensible world (world of the senses). Sometimes this realm is referred to as the metaphysical (but not always). And this metaphysical realm is not beyond our everyday world; rather, it penetrates and impregnates the material domain: More here.

Young Stranger Spends $2,800 on Funeral for a Woman He Never Met: She Reminded Him of His Sister - Good News Network, July 8, 2024

When a young woman died before her time in Italy’s region of Puglia, a stranger felt compelled to help the grief-stricken family. Paying off the major part of the woman’s funeral, he told Italian media he expected nothing in return, but was merely listening to the voice in his heart.

In the city of Fasano, southeast Italy, 25-year-old Ciela Ditano was killed when the elevator doors opened on the fourth floor of her condominium without an elevator to board. She fell four stories to her death. In the days that followed, the devastated father and mother, Giuseppe and Giusy, received an unexpected gesture from an unknown person. Read more here.

A FINAL QUOTE
The world is not changed by individuals working alone. Effective communications produce community. As ideas are generated and distributed, like-minded individuals will cluster together, either physically or virtually, to support the underlying interests. In terms of a transition toward a new world, there will be nothing more structurally effective than a network of global communities, all working to develop and implement the fabric of the desired future.
