The year is 1949. The Nobel Prize in Medicine has just gone to the man who invented the lobotomy. Your doctor suggests one for your sister, who has not been herself since the baby came. It is the most celebrated advance in psychiatry of the age, and he is simply current. By the time the prize curdles into an embarrassment, close to twenty thousand Americans have had the operation, and proportionally more here in Britain. The year is 1956. Lay the baby down on his front, the doctor says. So does the most trusted childcare book ever written, the one on every new mother's shelf. On his back he might choke, the reasoning goes. Millions obey. The advice holds for nearly thirty years, long after the evidence has quietly turned, and a generation of cot deaths is counted before anyone thinks to roll the babies over. The year is 1966. A bestselling book informs your wife that menopause is a disease, that she is, in the author's word, a castrate, and that a small daily pill will keep her youthful and tolerable to live with. Her doctor agrees. The drug becomes one of the most prescribed in the country. Nobody mentions that the author sat on the payroll of the company that made it. That detail surfaces decades later, in the same year the landmark trial is halted early for raising rates of breast cancer, stroke and clots. The year is 1979. Your ulcer is caused by stress and sharp food, the doctor explains. Calm down, drink milk, take the antacid that happens to be the best-selling medicine on earth. Two Australians are about to prove that most ulcers are caused by a bacterium and cured by a fortnight of antibiotics. The profession laughs. One of them eventually drinks a beaker of the stuff to settle the matter. The establishment takes the better part of twenty years to stop laughing. The Nobel lands in 2005. The year is 1985. Butter is dangerous, the doctor says. Switch to margarine, it is modern, it is heart-healthy, the experts are united. The spread he nudges you toward is loaded with trans fats, which the next decade will identify as the genuinely dangerous one, and which will eventually be banned outright. The butter goes quietly back in the fridge. No correction is ever printed at the volume of the original warning. The year is 1992. There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one in your grandchild's classroom. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta form the broad virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day. Fat is exiled to the tiny tip. The chart was reportedly held back a year while the relevant industries had their say. It is wrong at the bottom and wrong at the top. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines, new studies, a fresh consensus, delivered with precisely the steady confidence of every guideline above. He believes it, and he has good reason to. So did every doctor in this thread. None of them were villains. Each was sincere, most were kind, and all were certain, reading from a map that somebody else had drawn and handed them. That is the part worth sitting with. So when the man in the white coat tells you what to eat, what to fear, and what to swallow every morning for the rest of your life, you are allowed to ask. Who paid for the study. What the evidence says beneath the headline. What he was just as certain about thirty years ago, and where that advice sits now. Then make up your own mind. Call it scepticism, or call it whatever your grandmother called it when she ignored the advert, kept the butter where it was, and lived to ninety-one. It has outlasted every consensus on this list. It will outlast this one too.

Elected representatives should need to pass a proctored basic maths test
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American. And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars! You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only. That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students. nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/i… bestcolleges.com/research/colle…

“I worked at Pfizer for 17 years. We didn’t discover drugs - we discovered markets. If a drug cured asthma in 3 days, we’d kill it. Chronic disease is where the money is. Cures are bad for business.” — Peter Rost, former Pfizer executive That’s the business model. Not healing people … keeping them customers for life.

Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase: "We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament. No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good. So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily. Can you prove it? No. And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident. That is not an accident. And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that. The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on." @BretWeinstein

Illegals were getting 2% interest rate covid FHA mortgages with 0 down payment backed by the US Government. Thats why we cant afford a fucking house.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: HUD Sec. Turner confirms Biden gave FHA-backed mortgages to illegals—now revoked. “We’re purging them. Only US citizens in HUD housing.” 12M crossed under Biden. @SecretaryTurner was tagged, so let him see your support. Do you stand with him? A. Big yes B. No

New York distillers poisoned thousands of infants with filthy milk. The politicians paid to stop them took bribes instead. Then the government drew the wrong lesson. It treated the symptom, protected the system, and taught Americans that the cow was the problem. She was not. 🧵

New Rule: Every time we get outraged over a Judge's ruling, we show their name, face, and ancestry. "US Judge" is no longer ever sufficient. Judge Sorokin, an Eastern European Jew, appointed by Obama, has thrown out the H-1B visa fee to try and flood our country with jeets.
US JUDGE STRIKES DOWN TRUMP'S $100,000 H-1B VISA FEE.

My friend had ALS. He joined a trial and was immediately worse after taking the medicine. He told the researchers. They said it could not be from the medicine but that if he didnt want to be in the trial, he could stop. He stopped. His departure was not mentioned in the trial data. Another friend worked at Stanford when they were doing trials on Ambien. One elderly woman in the trial kept removing her clothes and was sleepwalking around at night naked. He was part of the research team, and he told the other researchers that this drug was not safe; if that woman had not been in the sleep lab with him, she could have gotten hurt or in trouble. They fired him. Not just from the trial, but from Stanford. He was later told that if the trial is not successful, then Stanford won't be asked to do clinical trials and will lose millions of dollars. Another school will get that money instead of Stanford. This is one reason why many universities can't tell the truth. That truth costs them money.
Just received this: this is how vaccine trials are done: my son had a friend who volunteered for the Emory trials when he was 18 and in high school. Trial would have been ~2019-2020. He became gravely ill after getting vaccinated, thought he was going to die. He contacted the researchers, they told him it could not have been from vaccine, then he was ghosted by the researchers. It’s my understanding he never finished the trials because they stopped communicating with him."

Insane
The SPLC used $4.1 million in donor to fund the KKK and other extremist groups. This is how they used the money: -Attend and host extremist group rallies across the country. -Grow existing chapters of extremist groups. -Create new chapters of extremist groups; Recruit new individuals into extremist groups. -Make donations to extremist group leaders. -Purchase materials for cross burnings. -Purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods. -Create racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies. -Publish extremist literature used in the recruiting of more members. -Pay everyday living expenses, which allowed the Fs to focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment. They funded the groups they told the public they were fighting.

Update: I was finally able to withdraw my coins without the face scan, but I had to be way too stubborn about it. I give @krakenfx / @krakensupport a 2/5 here 🧵

Despite having an KYC'd account for years and withdrawing crypto two months ago, @krakenfx is now holding my coins hostage pending a biometric face scan. The funds obviously came from my KYC'd bank account. This is bullshit Release my coins, Kraken I like you guys, but if you don't fix this you've lost me as a customer

Another thought, if device verification is going to be a thing, mention it before deposit, not during withdrawal
