The late, great Robert Fisk dismantles the trap question of ‘do you accept Israel’s right to exist?’
American missiles, fired by Israel, killing children in Lebanon for decades:
Here’s the late, great Robert Fisk documenting how Israel bombed an ambulance in front of him in Lebanon.
He took fragments of the missile to the US to challenge Boeing on their missile being used to kill children.
“Dwight D. Eisenhower was the person who first invented the phrase the military-industrial complex. There it was. I went to the industry that made the missile and traced its military path, and everyone it killed was innocent."

Older people are NOT suffering from “aging.”
They are suffering from decades of poor nutrition, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, muscle loss, and metabolic dysfunction being normalized as aging.
Getting older is inevitable.
Becoming chronically sick is NOT.

PabloReports: Are you concerned about ICE agents wearing these Meta glasses? Are they going to start profiling people?
AOC: Absolutely. They have made clear that their goal is not even immigrants so much as it is profiling every American who comes out to protest, profiling every American who exercises their First Amendment rights. They want to create a mass surveillance state. They want to know every one of your movements, and they want to hand all of that over—not just in a government database, but also to these AI companies as well. And we cannot allow for that to happen. Absolutely not.

RFK Jr. breaks down how one man lied about meat and shaped the harmful food pyramid for decades.
“Those studies that justified that were done by a guy called Ancel Keys.”
“Americans all over became concerned with heart attacks.”
“He developed this hypothesis in his head that it had to do with meat.”
“He did a study that originally included 15 nations, including Germany, UK, and Switzerland which eat a tremendous amount of meat.”
“When he got the data back, he saw that the coastal countries which eat a lot less meat, were not any better than the countries that ate pig and goose.”
“So he just dropped all the meat-eating countries out.”
“He committed an act of deception.”
“He got himself appointed to the board of the American Heart Association.”
“He took a lot of money from Procter Gamble, which at that time was trying to market margarine.”
“When a lot of scientists began disagreeing with him… they engineered the destruction of their reputations, their silencing, the destruction in some cases of their careers.”
“For 70 years we’ve lived with this lie.”

Slow at 12 doesn’t mean slow at 17…
A study tracking 475 youth players over 8 years found that 1 in 4 athletes moved into a faster speed group as they aged.
Speed isn’t fixed, it’s trainable!
But that only happens with the right system. One that understands the physical

The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.

You’re more likely to lose fat by cutting sugar and grains than by cutting fat.
You’re more likely to lower your blood pressure by cutting sugar and grains than by cutting salt.

As a former unhealthy carb addict, I can tell you this:
When you decide to quit sugar and carbs, you will most likely fail the first few times, and that’s ok.
This is a lifelong journey where, with experience and time, you will relapse less often and lead a healthier life.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman just flipped the cholesterol script:
Higher cholesterol in older adults = longer life and lower risk of Alzheimer's (peer-reviewed studies confirm it).
Low cholesterol? Higher mortality risk and significantly elevated Alzheimer's odds.
Why? Every cell in your body makes cholesterol because you need it:
- For strong cell membranes
- For healthy mitochondria (energy factories)
- For hormone production (including sex hormones)
Bikman: “Don’t be afraid of cholesterol.”
Especially if your LDL is high but your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio is low — that pattern is generally protective.
The old “cholesterol = bad” narrative is crumbling fast.
What’s your take—still scared of high cholesterol, or rethinking it after seeing the data?

On this day in 1961, the US, UK and Belgium assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba!

Hello, this is Yanis Varoufakis with a piece of news that would have been hilarious if it weren’t so scary. This morning, two policemen appeared on my doorstep to serve a summons ordering me to the police headquarters to be interrogated by the Greek DEA, our drug busting police department. Not as a witness, expert or not, but as the accused. Accused of what?
Shortly after New Year’s, I appeared on a podcast organised by young people to answer their questions on everything that concerns Gen Z today: social media, the meaning of life, their job prospects, what I call technofeudalism etc. At some point, they asked me if I had ever used drugs. Determined not to do a Bill Clinton (remember the laughable “I didn’t inhale”?), I said I had. Apart from pot, I told them, I had one experience of taking ecstasy in Sydney 36 years ago. It was pleasant, I danced for 16 hours effortlessly but then, I added, it gave me a migraine for a week – and so I never used again. That was my introduction to making the point that, however pleasant drug taking may seem, there is a price to pay. And that the ultimate price is dependence, addiction – “the end of liberty”, I said emphatically.
Do you see where this is going? Yes, the Greek police have opened an investigation of me under the charge of... aiding and abetting the narco-mafia. [Do me a favour folks: Please don’t tell Trump, OK?]
Seriously now, at a time of war, genocide, stupendous exploitation and so on, my little trouble with the inane Greek police is neither here nor there. But it is important. Here, in Europe, many people still live under the illusion that we have liberty, rationality and freedom. We don’t. Dark forces are at work, pushing us into a postmodern version of the Dark Ages.
So, beware, people! They are out to take away the last remnants of autonomy and freedom we have left. Resistance is, literally, existence.
