• AGING DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A SLOW AND STEADY PROCESS. Latest research at Stanford University found that “accumulation of wrinkles, aches & pains or a general sensation of having grown older almost overnight” has a scientific explanation, and actually occurs in at least two ‘accelerated bursts’ in our mid-40s and early 60s. Nonlinear molecular studies of over seven years for a hundred California volunteers related to immune regulation/ carbohydrate metabolism/ kidney function/ cardiovascular disease/ ability to metabolize caffeine & alcohol also suggests that a later spike in aging may occur around age 78.

  • IN WHAT COULD BE ONE OF THE LARGEST DATA-BREACHES IN HISTORY, “personal info of potentially billions of individuals may have been compromised in a hack of National Public Data’s database, offered for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million, then reportedly leaked for free on a hacking forum this month. The data allegedly includes full names, current and past addresses, dates of birth, phone and Social Security numbers, even information about relatives. [SECUREWORLD.I0]   Experts recommend: freezing credit reports/ using complex, unique passwords for all accounts/ enabling multi-factor authentication/ staying alert for phishing attempts and other scams/ keeping all software & security systems up to date.” Smaller businesses and organizations should also consider an innovative program, funded in part by Center for Internet Security and launched by Secure the Village. https://securethevillage.org/la-cybersecure-pilot/  
  • WHILE NUCLEAR ENERGY IS THE MOST VIABLE SOLUTION TO RELIABLE LOW-CARBON ELECTRICITY, politics and bureaucratic hurdles have virtually stalled construction of any new nuclear plants in America for five decades, based on public fears of reactor meltdowns and toxicity of nuclear ‘waste.’ Some 40 million pounds of uranium are needed to fuel our 93 currently operating reactors which provide about 20% of America’s usage, nearly half supplied by soviet countries and 27% from Canada, of which only 4% is used in the fission process. The other 96% is ‘nuclear waste,’ presently stored indefinitely (for perhaps tens of thousands of years) but “could be repurposed for new fuel to meet America’s energy needs for 150 years, along with highly sought-after isotopes for medical & industrial use, national security, and space bases… and a rare bipartisan consensus has emerged in support of nuclear power recycling.”  [EPOCH TIMES – 8/18/24]
  • ANOTHER SCARY PERSPECTIVE ON OUR MIGRANT MESS —  it’s the longer term Plan of elite Globalists to: “(1) entice illegals from intrinsically violent & authoritarian 3rd-world cultures with offers of easy citizenship, government handouts, and the opportunity to brutalize the very western (and generally white) populations they despise; (2) to effectively serve as a mercenary wing of the government while hiding behind law enforcement agencies for protection; (3) then inciting the native populace to defend itself, which would facilitate declaration of Martial Law; (4) ultimately allowing a left wing administration to offer citizenship in to every illegal (many in exchange for military service), effectively buying a mercenary force plus a progressive voting block at the same time; (5) thus ending any chance of conservatives ever participating in government again.”  This dynamic is much further along in U.K. and a very likely precursor to intended direction of our country. A scary scenario: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/08/brandon-smith/britain-is-proof-globalists-plan-to-use-migrants-as-a-mercenary-army-against-the-west/

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK:

  • Teens these days are consuming ‘energy’ drinks like water and ingesting dangerously excess caffeine. Schools report that effects of kids staying up late (studying/ gaming/ texting/ gabbing) and drinking more to stay alert in class are increasingly ending up in school nurse’s office, complaining of rapid heart rates, spasm, high blood pressure and anxiety attacks.  While American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a maximum of 100mg caffeine daily (about what’s in an 8oz coffee), many consume multiple times that amount (even one 12oz can may contain double) along with other ‘energy ingredients – like ginseng, guarana, Ginko Biloba – with stimulating effects. Be aware if you have teens.  [WALL ST. JOURNAL]
  • Despite the Supreme Court strike-down of Affirmative Action policies in colleges & universities last year, implementation of D.E.I. is continuing ‘under the radar’ through slightly different word changes presumed to avoid anti-discrimination lawsuits. Leftist non-profit leaders devoted to Diversity/ Equity/ Inclusion now present Webinars on how to continue the practice with simple and effective techniques like “describing a grant not as ‘only open to’ but instead as one in which ‘preference will be given to’ black entrepreneurs.”  [PATRIOT POST]
  • Noncitizens are now allowed to vote in local elections in more than a dozen jurisdictions run by progressive democrats (including Washington DC), and widespread effors are underway to give noncitizens the full benefits of citizenship – notably driver’s licenses, food stamps, government health care, work visas, and including the right to vote in all elections. Election integrity is up for grabs! https://pricklypear.news/thousands-of-noncitizens-on-u-s-voter-rolls-assure-americans-the-next-election-will-be-unsafe-and-unfair/?ref=libertylab&utm_campaign=MASSIVE%20Data%20Breach%20Affecting%20Nearly%20All%20Americans&utm_medium=email&utm_source=mailjet
