I'm a real doctor...who loves to use makeup

After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat.

When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that. As the body’s largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging.

Forever Strong (Dr. Lyon)

Many of the conditions Dr. Lyon’s patients were experiencing were actually symptoms of underdeveloped or unhealthy muscle.

Now, Dr. Lyon offers an easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care program anchored in evidence and pioneering research that teaches how to optimize muscle—no matter one's age or health background.

Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer’s, hypertension, and diabetes by following Dr. Lyon’s powerful new approach to becoming forever strong. More

India: Damning new forensic investigation reveals repeated use of Pegasus spyware to target high-profile journalists.

Amnesty International, in partnership with The Washington Post, has unearthed shocking new details about the continued use of NSO Group’s highly invasive spyware Pegasus to target prominent journalists in India, including one who had previously been a victim of an attack using the same spyware.

Our latest findings show that increasingly, journalists in India face the threat of unlawful surveillance simply for doing their jobs, alongside other tools of repression including imprisonment under draconian laws, smear campaigns, harassment, and intimidation Head of Amnesty International’s Security Lab Donncha Ó Cearbhaill.

Forensic investigations by Amnesty International’s Security Lab confirmed that Founding Editor of The Wire Siddharth Varadarajan and the South Asia Editor at The Organised Crime and Corruption Report Project (OCCRP) Anand Mangnale were among the journalists recently targeted with Pegasus spyware on their iPhones, with the latest identified case occurring in October 2023.

It's Israel versus the world.

The use of Pegasus, a type of highly invasive spyware, developed by Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group, comes amid an unprecedented crackdown by the Indian authorities on freedom of peaceful expression and assembly, which has had a chilling impact on civil society organizations, journalists, and activists.

“Our latest findings show that increasingly, journalists in India face the threat of unlawful surveillance simply for doing their jobs, alongside other tools of repression including imprisonment under draconian laws, smear campaigns, harassment, and intimidation,” said Head of Amnesty International’s Security Lab Donncha Ó Cearbhaill.

“Despite repeated revelations, there has been a shameful lack of accountability about the use of Pegasus spyware in India which only intensifies the sense of impunity over these human rights violations.”

Forensic evidence reveals Pegasus activity Amnesty International’s Security Lab first observed indications of renewed Pegasus spyware threats towards individuals in India during a regular technical monitoring exercise in June 2023, a number of months after media reported that the Indian government was seeking to procure a new commercial spyware system.

In October 2023, Apple issued a new round of threat notifications globally to iPhone users who may have been targeted by “state-sponsored attackers.”

More than 20 journalists and opposition politicians in India were reported to have received the notifications.

As a result, Amnesty International’s Security Lab undertook a forensic analysis on the phones of individuals around the world who received these notifications, including Siddharth Varadarajan and Anand Mangnale.

It found traces of Pegasus spyware activity on devices owned by both Indian journalists. The Security Lab recovered evidence from Anand Mangnale’s device of a zero-click exploit which was sent to his phone over iMessage on 23 August 2023 and designed to covertly install the Pegasus spyware.

The phone was running iOS 16.6, the latest version available at the time. A zero-click exploit refers to malicious software that enables spyware to be installed on a device without requiring any user action from the target, such as clicking on a link. More

American invention by Dr. Flanagan

American Irish genius Dr. Patrick Flanagan, MD, Ph.D., was a kind of Nikola Tesla. In junior high school he invented a device that could detect missile launches (and possibly nuclear detonations) anywhere in the world. It was just a school project built with ordinary Radio Shack parts, totaling about US$5. Had he spent $20, it could have really been something. The powers that be (in the form of the FBI) showed up at his school to confiscate the device and steal the technology behind it. They seemed to have asked him if he had any other inventions or ideas. He did. One of them was a clear liquid made of H20, silica, and minerals to purify water. He called it Crystal Energy (Hunza water with Phi Sciences "Flanagan microclusters" for catalytic "wetter water." He talked about it to Lisa Garr on Pacifica Free Speech Radio KPFK's The Aware Show years ago. What else did he invent?

Secret of Water

Preview: Secret of Water

(1 hour and 16 minutes) Water is a "living" substance, the most common on earth and least understood. It defies the basic laws of physics yet holds the keys to life.

Known to the ancients as a transmitter to and from the higher realms, water retains hidden messages and conveys information to DNA.

However, water can die if treated poorly. Our use and misuse of this precious resource has altered the vital information it carries in unexpected ways.

Influences such as sound, thought, intention, and prayer, as well as toxins such as chlorine, structure water’s molecular arrangement – affecting all it comes in contact with.

Prominent scientists help reveal the secret of water, allowing us to use its healing power for human beings and the planet.

Fluoride is poison? (video)

(RT) Fluoride is Poison: Brainwash Update Abby Martin takes a look at 50 years of toxic fluoridation in America, outlining the adverse health effects and breaking the MYTH that it helps prevent tooth decay. What does it do? Breaking the Set, twitter.com.

Fluoride is Poison

I wrote a letter to the editor to end water fluoridation in my city. Check it out, and borrow it for your city: truthstreammedia.com.

We are being forcibly medicated with fluoride in municipal tap water across the US, even though fluoride is a DRUG, a chemical waste product of aluminum production contaminated with lead and arsenic.* It is the main ingredient in rat poison and many pesticides. There are thousands of studies* that show the harmful effects of fluoridated water on our bodies.

If one swallows fluoride toothpaste, THE LABEL urges you to call the Poison Control Center immediately. But we are urged to drink eight glasses of fluoridated water? Before that fluoride is dumped into the water system, it is regarded as an extreme biohazard and toxic industrial waste product. As soon as it hits the water we will drink, that designation ends. Where is the logic? It's just as toxic.

It is absolutely unnecessary to drink. (Other forms of it sometimes exist in water, and too much of it corrodes teeth). The bottom line: fluoridating tap water has nothing to do with teeth. Since when does something we are forced to drink (because when it gets in the tap water, it gets in everything -- canned foods, showers, vegetables, fruits... 

Hitler and NAZIs had a good reason for fluoridating water in concentration camps. There was no concern for Jewish, homosexual, Gypsy and other undesirables' dental health. They added fluoride to pacify the prisoners and keep them docile -- just like Prozac (a fluoride product) does. Now we're drinking it?

People in cities all over the U.S. have petitioned their representatives to get fluoride out of their water. Many have won the battle. Here are a few scientific studies on the harmful impacts of fluoride:

Plastic pollution coming to National Parks

Associated Press (ap.org); Seth Auberon, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Long line of hikers come out of the Grand Canyon along Bright Angel Trail, AZ. The U.S. federal government announced Aug. 16, 2017, it will eliminate a policy it put in place to allow national parks to ban the sale of bottled water in an effort to curb litter.

.

The only way to keep the Great Pacific Garbage Patch -- the continent-size non-island of broken down plastic debris (which is petroleum based) entering the food chain as microscopic xenoestrogenic trash killing birds and giving humans cancer -- growing is to allow people to bring plastic water bottles, which are made by powerful corporations who were noticing a cut into the their profits by the ban, into our national parks. Why would the National Park Service stand in the way of corporate capitalism? Maybe contributions are at stake.

 

NPS ends ban on disposable water bottles

PHOENIX, Arizona - The federal government announced [Aug. 16th] it will eliminate a policy that allowed national parks like the Grand Canyon to ban the sale of bottled water in an effort to curb [dangerous, slow-to-breakdown, chemical] litter.

The National Park Service said in a statement it made the decision to "expand hydration options for recreationalists, hikers, and other visitors to national parks."

 

Angeles Nat'l Forest, San Gabriel Mtns

The rules were first put in place in 2011 after it became clear discarded water bottles were becoming a big litter problem in national parks. The policy did not stop the sale of bottled sweetened drinks.

 

Officials say 23 of the 417 National Park Service sites have implemented the policy since it was enacted. Those include some the nation's most popular destinations such as the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Mount Rushmore.

 

The bottled water and beverage industry have previously lobbied aggressively to keep bottled water at U.S. national parks. More

Renewed demonstrations over police killing unarmed teenager Michael Brown in St. Louis, Missouri, continued for a second night ahead of a national weekend of action in nearby Ferguson over the murder two months ago with still no indictment or charges being brought against the officer for brutality and excessive use of force under color of law.

 

Organizers have invited the Brown family to take part. Dr. Cornel West (formerly a professor at Stanford and Pacifica Radio personality) and actor Harry Belafonte are also among those expected to attend the events.

The event will include a mass march and a planned act of civil disobedience. They will join local activists who have been

• calling for the arrest of police officer Darren Wilson, who murdered Mike Brown in cold blood;
• for the appointment of a special prosecutor in the case; and
• firing of Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson.

Democracy Now! speaks with three of the organizers who have been involved in the protests since the beginning: Tef Poe, a St. Louis rapper and activist; Tory Russell, an organizer with Hands Up United; and Ashley Yates, of Millennial Activists United.

Bye-bye, Marshall (video)

Wisdom Quarterly

We never got the chance to say "Bye-bye, Breitbart." He was apparently assassinated for threatening to out President B.S. Obama about something.

Death is one way to effectively silence someone, so we do not know what the outing was about. (The nonsense that it was B.S. meeting and hugging a radical figure is pure cover story deception).

• VIDEO: "This Is Spinal Tap" - "These go to 11"

Breitbart may have been a very misguided rightwing conservative blogger -- doctoring videos to make Acorn look foolish or reactionaries look sane -- but he did do a few good things. He encouraged Arianna Huffington to create a media outlet that eventually became the Huffington Post (before it sold out to the mainstream media with its AOL deal). He shed light on the fake centrists that call themselves the "left."

If Barry Soetoro Obama or Barbara Boxer is The Left then we're Mongolian aborigines on small horses racing through the grassy wastelands in search of anyone related to Kublai Khan. (The ancestors of Genghis Khan say we're on the wrong continent for that). Are we right, left, or center? Left. Why? Because we need change from the root (radix) not the branches beyond.

Worse than losing King B.B. is yesterday's loss of BB King's best virtual friend, the creator of Marshall brand electric guitar amplifiers, who built the stacks behind the Hair Farmers of our guitar hero dreams.

Thankfully the corporation will keep building and selling the deafening machines in his absence. So rock 'n roll will live on. And Daisy's guitar camp for girls will live on. And that means one day music will conquer the world.

"Even the Rain" - High price of water (film)

(NYmag.com) In "Even the Rain," Gael García Bernal plays a filmmaker making a movie in Bolivia about Christopher Columbus's colonization of the New World (think of something in the spirit of Werner Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God). He's in Bolivia because, "You can negotiate things here. Hotels, transports, catering." So Bernal's character is making a movie about exploitation, by doing some exploiting of his own -- an irony that becomes increasingly apparent as the indigenous population in the village where he's filming begin to revolt against the government for raising the price of water.
