Beyond brain fog: viral proteins as convergent drivers of neuroinflammation and proteinopathy 🚨“COVID-19 never really leaves your brain.” New science review proposes SARSCoV2 viral proteins stay behind as long-lived toxins, triggering chronic neuroinflammation and planting the seeds of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, even after mild infection. This very interesting and eye-catching GERMAN review reframes post-viral neurological syndromes( L0ngC0vid) as driven by persistent viral proteins acting as long-term toxins ("protein-as-pathogen" model), not just the active infection! ➡️Core mechanisms: - SARSCoV2 Spike and OTHER viral proteins activate glial TLR4/TLR2 receptors, triggering chronic neuroinflammatory cascades via NLRP3 inflammasome, - They also disrupt autophagy, allowing toxic protein aggregates (tau, amyloid-beta, α-synuclein) to accumulate and seed neurodegeneration, ➡️SARSCoV2 specific evidence: - Animal studies show Spike protein alone (without live virus) induces TLR4-mediated cognitive deficits, memory impairment, synaptic loss, and sustained neuroinflammation, recapitulating post-COVID syndrome, - Spike binds α-synuclein, accelerating Parkinson-like clumps, ➡️Human data evidence: - Millions experience "brain fog," - Post-COVID patients exhibit measurable brain damage: cortical thinning, hippocampal iron accumulation, and biomarkers of ongoing neuronal injury, ➡️Broader risks: - Even mild infections leave lingering proteins that promote Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s-like pathology via shared pathways, - Same pathways seen in influenza, dengue, West Nile etc, - Mild infection = no protection, ‼️So, according to this review, the “protein-as-pathogen” model makes it crystal clear: every new SARSCoV2 infection (even mild or asymptomatic) deposits more of these long-lived toxic viral proteins into the brain. They don’t fully clear. They accumulate. Each reinfection reloads the TLR4/TLR2 → NLRP3 inflammasome trigger and further collapses autophagy, speeding up the tau/amyloid/α-synuclein proteinopathy and neurodegeneration. SARS-CoV-2 does not just infect. It weaponizes its own proteins as long-lived intracellular saboteurs. Millions are probably already carrying this hidden payload. This is not brain fog. This is a silent, population-scale reprogramming of human brains toward dementia-like decline. The long-term neurological cost will probably dwarf the acute pandemic itself! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York. Apartheid without borders. P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.

Left: Nigel Farage, "None of you have been elected, none of you have any democratic legitimacy for the roles you currently hold" Right: Telegraph, "Farage wants US-style Cabinet instead of elected MPs" Nigel Farage says he received a £5m gift after 27 years campaigning for Brexit on the grounds that the EU lacked democratic legitimacy due to unelected officials. Yet he now supports a US-style Cabinet where ministers can be appointed from outside Parliament instead of being elected MPs Nigel Farage wants the very thing for the UK, that he said was not good enough for the EU

"To call a decent person antisemitic because he dares to criticize Israel is shameful because it will make antisemitism respectable. And shame upon those people who make these false accusations against us as journalists." - Robert Fisk

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today. Mona is not a fighter. She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles. Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

🇨🇳 China just switched on the world's largest offshore solar farm 2.3 million solar panels. 2,934 steel platforms. 11,736 piles driven into the ocean floor. Built to survive force-11 gales and sea ice. It sits 5 miles off the coast and powers 2.67 million people. Oh, and they're also farming fish underneath it 😳

Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson. He also claims the undeclared £5m "gift" Farage received in 2024 from Harborne was payment for Farage to take over as party leader of Reform UK and stand in Clacton. - Harborne has paid Farage at least £6m personally. - Habib claims Harborne gave the Brexit Party £14m in total and attempted to break electoral law by hiding his identity so he could give more. - Reform UK have received over £22m from Harborne to date.

HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WERE DEFRAUDED Imagine you are behind on your store card payments. You are already struggling. Then the bank quietly adds an extra charge on top of what you owe. Not because it costs them that much. Just because .. they can. And because they think nobody is watching. Someone was watching. Nicholas Wilson was a debt recovery lawyer. He goes by Mr Ethical @nw_nicholas on X. His old boss meant it as an insult. In 2003 he noticed that @HSBC subsidiary HFC Bank was adding an illegal 16.4% charge onto the debts of people who were already in financial trouble. Store cards from John Lewis, Currys, B&Q, Dixons, PC World. Ordinary people. Struggling people. Being quietly robbed. He told his boss it was illegal. His boss started calling him "Mr Ethical" as a joke. Then they sacked him. He reported it to the regulators. @TheFCA ignored him for years. When a researcher separately wrote to both HSBC and the FCA asking about the fraud... ... both wrote back with responses in the exact same wording, same punctuation, same paragraphs. The bank and the regulator were sharing the same script. FCA's own independent Complaints Commissioner eventually investigated. He called it the worst case of regulatory failure he had ever dealt with. FCA's response was to appoint Ruth Kelly, an HSBC director, and Baroness Hogg from John Lewis, onto its own board. The two people they were supposed to be investigating were now sitting inside the regulator. You actually cannot make this up. After 13 years of Wilson refusing to go away, HSBC quietly agreed to pay some money back. FCA announced 6,700 victims. Wilson says the real number is closer to 500,000. HSBC has now set aside £223 million for repayments. No fine. No criminal charges. No one went to prison. No one was even publicly named. Wilson has spent the last 20 years unemployable. Blacklisted. Living on state benefits. Fighting to keep his home. Someone even anonymously reported him to the DWP for benefit fraud while the actual billion pound fraud went unpunished. The bank that robbed half a million people kept its licence. The man who caught them lost everything.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM. 70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal. Oil dropped 12%. The trade made $125 million in profit. Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%. $760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement. $920 million placed before this one. Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming. What kind of war is this? This is more like a trading desk with an army. Never stop connecting the dots.

Here is a crazy stat form a study on children, metabolism, & mental illness: Children with the highest insulin resistance at age 9 were 500% more likely to have a psychosis-at-risk mental state at age 24. And 300% more likely to already be diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Think about that. The metabolic dysfunction came first. Before the psychiatric symptoms. Before any medication. This is not the pills. This is the metabolic disease itself affecting the developing brain.

You may think of the high-fat, low-carb eating plan as a faddish way to lose weight. But the keto diet is now being used to tackle conditions from severe depression to bipolar disorder and anorexia, with transformative results newscientist.com/article/252…

From my own life experience as a hostage in Iran for 444 days, I know how fragile safety can be--and how precious our rights are, especially now that we are plunged into war with Iran. I am outraged that a woman, one who I know, who has lived her entire life in the United States--adopted as a toddler by an American military family in Iran---now faces deportation to Iran, of all countries, because of a bureaucratic visa technicality. She has no criminal record, has lived in in California communities, paid taxes, more than contributed to the fabric of this nation, and calls this country her home. Yet, the Department of Homeland Security says she must removed because she technically "overstayed" a visa from the age of 4. "She has fought for nearly two decades to fix her status within the system--always above board, asking for no shortcuts--but she fears her next court hearing later this month" may "almost certainly result in detention and deportation." She has said," I'm struggling and fighting so hard to keep this life in America that I love and deserve...It's such a betrayal to my dad and to myself to send me back to a country where I was just an orphan baby." This is beyond unjust--it is cruel. She does not even remember Iran, a country she left as a child, and where as a Christian she could be persecuted, imprisoned, or worse under Iranian law that treats apostasy as crime punishable by severe penalties and even death. How can we call oursleves a nation of justice and compassion when we tear apart someone who is, in very sense an American? This isn't immigation enforcement--it is punishment of an innocent woman who belongs here. If we allow this to happen, we are not enforcing the law--we are abandoning our humanity. Where is the outrage? Where is the national coverage? If we allow this to happen, we are abandoning the very values we claim to stand for.

In Sweden, people are now ill for the last 84.1 − 66.2 = 17.9 years of their lives on average, according to Eurostat. That’s an 81% increase from 2019, when people were ill for 83.2 - 73.3 = 9.9 years on average at the end of life. 5/x
