Funny the things you find in a transport history book. I wonder what happened in 1707 that so damaged Scotland's economy that it took a century and a half to recover..? 🤔 #colon

Epic take down of a Banderist Warpig! More of this please!

Technocracy sucks.

🇨🇳BONE GLUE. That's what Chinese scientists have invented, and it fixes broken bones in 3 minutes. No metal plates. No screws. No big surgery. Just inject it, and the broken pieces bond together in minutes, even in a bloody surgical site. In one trial, a shattered wrist was fully repaired through a tiny 3cm cut. Three months later, full recovery, zero complications. Over 150 patients have already been treated. Clinical trials are ongoing.

And yet Scotland's clueless political class still cite Finland as a perfect social model to follow which proves they are as bad as the Brits for always fighting the last war. Wake the fuck up, it's not 2011 any more!

Finland’s hypocrisy is comedy gold right now, and it’s getting hard to watch. Russia didn’t just beat Sweden in 1809 but it pulled Finland out of Stockholm’s shadow, gave it Grand Duchy status with real autonomy, and basically handed over the keys to becoming a real nation. Then in 1917, while Russia was in chaos, Finland grabbed full independence. Grateful? Not even close. Today the same Finns are in full panic mode: rushing into NATO, putting razor wire on the border, and yelling “Russian threat!” like Putin is hiding behind every tree ready to snatch their saunas and Moomins. The paranoia is wild and acting scared of the very country whose bayonets accidentally created modern Finland. And the self-own is brutal. They cut off cheap Russian energy, so electricity bills are sky-high and factories are shutting down. Russian tourists who used to pour money into border towns? Gone. Cross-border shopping and tourism? Dead. Billions in trade vanished overnight. Turns out spite is expensive.

獣医の世界では半世紀前から常識だ。脊髄を損傷し、四肢が完全に麻痺した犬や馬にDMSOを点滴すると、彼らは再び立ち上がり歩き出す。ところが、同じ怪我を負った人間には「もう手の施しようがありません」と宣告される。この埋めがたい落差こそが、今回掘り起こす「忘れられた医療」の核心だ。 DMSOは、細胞の骨格とも言える「微小管」の再構築を劇的に促進する。神経細胞はこの骨格が壊れると再生できないが、DMSOはその組み立てに必要なタンパク質濃度を10分の1近くまで下げ、傷ついた神経回路の再接続を後押しする。さらに幹細胞を神経細胞へと分化させる作用も持ち、失われた組織そのものを補う可能性を秘めている。 1970年代、スタンリー・ジェイコブ博士らは、脊髄損傷から数時間以内にDMSOを点滴された患者が歩行を取り戻した事例を報告した。うち一人は受傷から9時間後という「手遅れ」のタイミングだったにもかかわらず、である。 慢性の腰痛や坐骨神経痛、椎間板ヘルニアに対しても、DMSOの効能は軽視できない。ロシアでの偽薬対照試験では、DMSOゲルを1日2回塗った患者群の痛みの指標が10点満点中7.46点から2.58点へと大幅に改善し、筋肉の緊張や脊椎の可動域でも偽薬群を明らかに上回った。 私のもとには、何十年も背部痛に苦しみ、複数の手術にも失敗した読者から「DMSOで人生が変わった」という声が数百件寄せられている。ある男性は、12.5mmも飛び出していた椎間板が数ヶ月の塗布で3〜4mmに縮小し、メスを入れずに済んだという。 話はここで終わらない。本当に問うべきは、獣医が当たり前に使う治療法を、なぜ人間の医療だけが無視し続けるのか、という構造的な問題だ。 答えの一端は、DMSOが安価で特許を取れない物質である点に潜む。莫大な利益を生む新薬の市場を侵食する可能性があるため、大規模な人間での臨床試験には莫大な資金が必要なのに、誰もその費用を出そうとしないのだ。FDA（米国食品医薬品局）による規制の壁も厚く、動物では「奇跡的」とされる回復のデータが積み上がっても、人間への応用は半世紀近く棚上げされたままだ。 飼い主にとって家族同然の犬が交通事故で麻痺した時、獣医は迷わずDMSOの点滴を選ぶ。その事実を知りながら、自分の親が転倒して脊髄を損傷した場合に同じ選択肢を与えられないとしたら、それは科学の問題ではなく、もはや医療制度の倫理的な不作為と言わざるを得ない。 — A Midwestern Doctor（中西部の医師） 記事『The Forgotten Side of Medicine: How DMSO Heals the Spine and Reverses Paralysis』（忘れられた医療：DMSOはいかにして脊椎を癒し、麻痺を回復させるか）

It's a shame that no one could send a couple of helicopter gunships back to 1066 and blow those bastards out of the Channel. 😉

This has relevance for those of us in the modelling world who remember when China gave us wonderful news high spec models at low prices. Price increases in our game only reflect the improved working conditions of those who make them 1/2

Some of us have been telling you the truth about Russia, from Russia, for literally years. Thanks to @RealCandaceO for coming and simply telling you the truth also.

Big Pharma is manufacturing Alzheimer’s Dr. Joel Wallach: “Alzheimer’s is a PHYSICIAN-CAUSED disease.” Your brain is 75% myelin insulation. And myelin is 100% cholesterol. Statins shred that cholesterol — stealing 75% of what your brain desperately needs to stay insulated and functional. No myelin = no brain. That’s why Alzheimer’s went from virtually unknown to the 4th leading killer over age 65. They told you to lower your cholesterol… while your brain was starving for it. This isn’t “aging.” This is medical malpractice on a massive scale. Stop letting them dissolve your brain. Do your own research and stop the statins. Protect your myelin.

It’s June 1st, which means the western world is celebrating “pride” month. However, in Russia, June 1st is international children’s day. We protect our children from degeneracy. Rainbows shouldn’t have a hidden immoral agenda. Let kids be kids!

The pig is the most democratic animal that has ever lived. Everything that follows is built on that. A pig needs no pasture, no hillside, no shepherd, no barn full of winter feed. It eats what you cannot. Acorns, windfall apples, kitchen scraps, the peelings and the whey and the spoiled milk headed for the midden. You feed it nothing and it gives you everything: a year of fat, lard, protein and crackling from an animal that turns household waste into the richest meat a poor family will ever taste. One sow. A back garden. No land, no lord, no permission. That is the problem with the pig. Not hygiene. Not parasites. Not the desert heat, though you will have been told all three by someone confident and wrong. The problem with the pig is that it made the poor man independent, and independence is the one thing the powerful have never been able to abide in people they mean to keep. Walk it back. In Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Egypt, pork was everywhere, thriving in the muck and crowded backstreets of the cities, above all the meat of the urban poor. Protein from almost nothing. And, crucially, protein the tax collector could not see. A field of barley is visible. A herd of cattle is visible. A pig in the yard, fattening quietly on scraps, is wealth that appears in no ledger. So the herders who chased status moved to cattle and sheep. Cattle you could drive, count, tax, lend and inherit. The pig was wealth you could hide, and a ruling class has never had any use for wealth it cannot count. The taboo did not fall from the sky. It crept in. In the southern Levant, pork consumption had been eroding since around 3000 BC, long before a word was written against it. By the early Iron Age the pig was a flag: the Philistines, migrants from the Aegean, ate it; the Israelites, native to the hills, largely did not. You could tell whose a settlement was from the bones in the midden. Then comes the part we can date. When the Biblical texts were codified, the priestly elite of Judah took a custom that already existed and carved it into law, hardening a soft regional habit into a line of identity you would die rather than cross. And men did. By the time of the Maccabees, under Greek rule, it was no longer about cuisine. Hellenistic officials forced Judeans to eat pork precisely because they knew what refusing it now meant. To refuse was to declare who you were. Men chose death over a single mouthful. The animal had become a border drawn through the human body. The Greeks ate pork happily. The Romans ate it by the wagonload. So refusing it became a way of being Not Them, and the taboo grew in power because it was useful: every time an empire pressed down, the pig was a way to stay yourself. Centuries later Islam inherited the line and hardened it again, and now some two billion people will not touch the most efficient protein a poor household can keep. Notice what is absent from all of it. Nutrition. Health. The body. The pig was banned not for being dangerous to eat but for being dangerous to own: an animal that let the landless feed themselves without asking, invisible to the men with the ledgers. Power has never minded what you put in your mouth, only what you can do without it. The pig let people do without. That was the sin. It always was. It quietly still is.

IN 1925, A RUSSIAN ENGINEER PLACED A COPPER RING AROUND A DYING PLANT. THE TUMOR DISAPPEARED. EVERY OTHER PLANT IN THE EXPERIMENT DIED. HIS TECHNOLOGY WAS USED IN HOSPITALS ACROSS EUROPE UNTIL HE WAS KILLED IN NEW YORK IN 1942. His name was Georges Lakhovsky. He proposed a theory so dangerous that it had to be erased from medical history. Every living cell is a miniature oscillator. It vibrates at its own specific frequency. When a cell is healthy, it vibrates at its natural resonant frequency. When it becomes diseased, the frequency drops. Cancer, infection, degeneration — all of them are frequency disorders. In 1925, Lakhovsky conducted an experiment at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris. He inoculated geranium plants with cancer-producing bacteria. All plants developed tumors. Around one single plant, he placed a simple open-ended copper ring — 30 centimeters in diameter. Nothing else. No electricity. No chemicals. Within weeks, the plant with the copper ring shed its tumor completely and grew taller and stronger than it had ever been. Every other plant in the experiment died. The copper ring was acting as an antenna. It was capturing the full spectrum of cosmic frequencies and feeding them back to the plant's cells. The cells re-tuned themselves to their natural oscillation. The disease could not survive in a cell vibrating at its correct frequency. Lakhovsky then built the Multi-Wave Oscillator. It used two concentric antennas driven by a Tesla coil to generate a broad spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies simultaneously. The idea was simple — flood the body with every possible frequency, and each cell will naturally resonate with the one it needs to heal. By the 1930s, his machines were being used in hospitals across France, Italy, and Sweden. Doctors reported recoveries from advanced cancers, severe arthritis, and chronic infections. Patients who had been given weeks to live walked out of clinics. In 1941, Lakhovsky brought his technology to New York. He began treating patients at a major hospital with extraordinary results. In 1942, at the age of 72, Georges Lakhovsky was struck by a car in New York City and died shortly after. Immediately following his death, every Multi-Wave Oscillator was removed from American hospitals. His research was labeled quackery. His name was deleted from medical literature. A man whose machines were healing patients in European hospitals for over a decade was hit by a car and erased from history within months. The frequency of a healthy human cell is between 62 and 72 MHz. When it drops to 58 MHz, cold symptoms appear. At 42 MHz, cancer begins. At 25 MHz, death. Your body is not a chemical machine. It is an electrical instrument playing a frequency. Disease is not an invasion. It is a cell that forgot its song. They did not silence Lakhovsky because his science was wrong. They silenced him because a copper ring costs nothing, and chemotherapy costs $150,000 & still kills.

The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER conducted found 84% of cancer patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION, TUMOR SHRINKAGE, or HALTED TUMOR GROWTH. Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research. The tide is turning.

imagine ur not allowed to wear a flag whiches president is one of the only one who wasnt on the epsteins island

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear. The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day. After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this. Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017. The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around. Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.

Le gardien invisible de la ferme . Pourquoi les paysans plantaient toujours des sureaux ​Le sureau n'a jamais été une simple plante ornementale. C’était un gardien. ​Si le sureau noir (Sambucus nigra) poussait aux limites de chaque cour de ferme italienne, ce n'était pas par hasard, ni pour la beauté de ses fleurs ou la douceur de ses baies. La raison est bien plus pragmatique : les souris, les rats et les rongeurs de garde-manger évitent systématiquement les zones où il est implanté. ​Les feuilles, l'écorce et les racines du sureau dégagent des composés volatils et contiennent des glycosides cyanogéniques (des précurseurs du cyanure) que les rongeurs perçoivent à distance. En froissant ses feuilles, on libère une odeur repoussante pour les nuisibles. Les agriculteurs malins le plantaient donc stratégiquement à l'entrée des caves, au pied des granges et le long des murs des étables. Plutôt que de poser des pièges, ils composaient une véritable barrière olfactive vivante, capable de se renouveler à chaque saison. ​Bien sûr, le sureau offrait d'autres précieux cadeaux. En juin, ses fleurs se transforment en sirops, en beignets croustillants ou en liqueurs. En septembre, ses baies noires colorent les confitures, les jus et les teintures naturelles. Même son bois sec trouvait preneur : creux et poreux en son centre, il était facile à évider pour tailler les flûtes traditionnelles. Mais aucune de ces utilisations n'était la raison principale pour laquelle le sureau encerclait la propriété. ​Sa force réside aussi dans sa robustesse. Une haie de sureaux peut atteindre 6 mètres de haut en seulement quelques années. Elle tolère les sols argileux et la mi-ombre, là où beaucoup d’autres essences dépérissent. De plus, sa capacité de multiplication est phénoménale : une simple section de branche ligneuse plantée en automne s'enracine presque à coup sûr, sans exiger de soins particuliers. ​Cette complicité entre l'homme et la plante allait encore plus loin. Jusque dans les années 1960, dans les campagnes du nord de l'Italie, on glissait des feuilles de sureau fraîches directement dans les sacs de blé ou les caisses de fruits pour repousser les insectes ravageurs de stocks. ​Plante fée dans la tradition celte, symbole de protection dans la tradition chrétienne, poison redoutable dans ses jeunes branches vertes... Le sureau reste, avant tout, le gardien invisible de la cave de nos anciens. ​💡 Ce qui a été modifié pour l'audience française : ​"Tribunal paysan" ➔ "Cour de ferme" : En italien, la corte désigne la cour de la ferme (la ferme lombarde ou émilienne). Le mot "tribunal" en français cassait l'ambiance rurale. ​"Cantine" ➔ "Cave" : En français, une cantine est le lieu où mangent les écoliers ou les travailleurs. Pour le vin et les provisions, on parle de cave ou de cellier (traduction de cantina). ​"Sambunigrine volante" ➔ "Composés volatils" : La sambunigrine est un composé toxique fixe (un hétéroside). Ce qui fait fuir les bêtes à distance, ce sont les huiles essentielles et molécules volatiles de la plante. ​"Boîtes de fruits en conserve" ➔ "Caisses de fruits" : Le mot italien scatole a été précisé ici par caisses, car on mettait les feuilles avec les fruits frais stockés, pas autour de boîtes de conserve en métal étanches.

Somebody spelt 'Soviet Union' wrong...
