Egoism; individualist anarchism; agorism; anti-state; anti spooks; no fixed idea for me; I am the only reality that matters; I put my cause above all other.

Pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than research. Let that sink in. They spend more money convincing doctors to prescribe their drugs than they spend developing those drugs. The marketing targets: - Medical students (sponsor textbooks) - Residents (free lunch seminars) - Practicing doctors (conference sponsorships) - Medical journals (advertising revenue) - Guideline committees (consulting fees) - Patient advocacy groups (donations) Every touchpoint in medical education and practice has pharmaceutical money flowing through it. Then we act surprised when doctors prescribe pharmaceuticals for conditions that would resolve with dietary changes. The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Designed to create lifelong pharmaceutical customers, not healthy people.

Every new war is justified by a newly invented Hitler (Saddam, Milosovich, Ghaddafi, Assad and now mullahs of Iran). But the fun part is that those who benefit from these wars fund both sides of this "good versus evil" fight and your tax money and sons' blood are wasted during.. Ariane de Rothschild, a French banker from the Rothschild family, told Epstein in a December 2018 email exchange that her family had “planned and supported” Hitler in “mass destruction to gain more power” and also asked whether he had received her video “with the girls.” image

Europe has spent the past four years “freeing itself” from its “dependence” on cheap reliable Russian gas, only to replace that with a much more dangerous and real dependence on expensive, volatile US gas — one that Trump is now using to blackmail Europe. Over the past four years, Europe’s shift from Russian to American has already translated into higher energy prices that have crippled industrial competitiveness and pushed major economies, above all Germany, towards deindustrialisation. But now, just as Brussels celebrates the final approval of a complete ban on Russian gas by the end of the year, things are about to get much worse. This week, US gas prices surged around 70%, reaching their highest level in three years. Those price spikes will feed directly into higher gas and electricity costs in Europe — during one of the coldest winters in years, and at a time when millions of Europeans are already unable to afford adequate heating. The episode encapsulates the self-destructive character of EU energy policy over the past four years. Yet the problem is not merely that cheap and reliable Russian gas has been replaced with costlier and more volatile American LNG. More troubling still is that the United States is far more likely to use its energy exports as an instrument of political pressure than Russia ever was, leaving the EU more dependent on its imperial master than ever. For all the talk of Russia’s “weaponisation” of gas supplies, history tells a different story. For decades, first the Soviet Union and later Russia continued supplying energy to Germany and the rest of Europe through multiple geopolitical crises, including during the height of the Cold War. More recently, even after the delivery of German weapons to Ukraine, and then the attack on Nord Stream, Moscow repeatedly stated that it was up to Berlin whether to resume gas supplies or not. The United States, by contrast, has a long and well-documented history of weaponising energy — using it as leverage to extract economic and geopolitical concessions. And under Donald Trump, this has become explicit policy. The US National Security Strategy, published in November 2025, designates “American energy dominance” across oil, gas, coal and nuclear power as a top strategic priority, explicitly framing the expansion of American energy exports as a means to “project power”. This is not mere rhetoric. Even though Europe’s dependence on US energy was already a fait accompli by the time Trump returned to office, since then Trump has actively sought to further deepen and entrench that dependence. But even more worryingly, Washington has increasingly politicised these energy flows, with US officials openly linking continued LNG supplies to regulatory and political concessions — or even more disturbingly weaponising US energy exports to extract concessions not only over Greenland but across a wide range of issues. Europe now effectively finds itself heavily dependent for its gas on a country whose President openly threatens the territorial integrity of a European state. Whatever risks were associated with dependence on Russian gas, they pale in comparison. It is crucial to understand, however, that Trump’s weaponisation of European energy supplies is about far more than bluster or the ruthless pursuit of short-term gains. As the US National Security Strategy makes clear, these moves are part of a broader, long-term strategy aimed at securing American energy dominance for decades to come. This is about much more than just increasing revenues for American energy companies. It’s part and parcel of Trump’s desperate ditch to preserve US hegemony at all costs in a rapidly changing global order. If we look at many US actions in recent years — from severing Europe’s access to Russian gas, to the seizure of Venezuelan oil assets, to escalating pressure on Iran — they are all, in one way or another, aimed at reasserting American physical and financial control over global energy flows, gaining leverage over adversaries and allies alike, and deterring countries from breaking with the unwritten rules of the US order.

Let me walk you through what goes into your "plant-based" burger that's supposedly better for the environment than beef. Soy protein isolate: Soybeans grown in industrial monoculture, shipped to processing facility, hexane extraction to remove oil, chemical processing to isolate protein, drying, milling. Energy intensive, chemical intensive, creates industrial waste. Coconut oil: Grown in plantations created by clearing tropical forest, possibly harvested by enslaved monkeys, shipped across oceans, refined through chemical processing. Sunflower oil: Monoculture crop requiring pesticides, mechanical extraction, chemical refining, more industrial waste. Heme from genetically modified yeast: Grown in industrial fermentation tanks, requires sugar feedstock, energy-intensive bioreactors, purification process, creates significant waste stream. Methylcellulose: Derived from wood pulp through chemical processing with methyl chloride and caustic soda. Add: food starch, maltodextrin, natural flavors (chemical compounds), salt, dextrose, and about 15 other processed ingredients. The environmental footprint of manufacturing this product requires: - Industrial soy monoculture - Multiple chemical processing facilities - Fermentation infrastructure for GMO yeast - Global shipping for multiple ingredients - Packaging in plastic - Refrigerated transport and storage Compare to beef: Grass grows. Cow eats grass. You eat cow. Three steps. Zero processing. No industrial facilities. No chemical extraction. No genetic modification. No global ingredient shipping. But the Impossible Burger is marketed as better for the environment because they calculated the cow's methane and ignored the entire industrial supply chain required to manufacture their product. Your "sustainable" plant burger required more processing steps, more energy input, more chemical usage, and more global transport than beef. It's just that nobody calculated those parts.

"Just soak your beans overnight to reduce phytic acid!" "Sprout your grains to lower lectins!" "Ferment your legumes to improve digestibility!" "Boil your vegetables to reduce oxalates!" OR Eat beef, which contains zero antinutrients and requires zero preparation to be perfectly bioavailable. You're spending hours detoxifying plants to make them barely edible while beef just exists as perfect nutrition. The cow already did the soaking, sprouting, fermenting for you. It's called digestion. You're just eating the finished product.

Problems fiber solves: - None Problems fiber causes: - Bloating - Gas - Constipation (the irony) - Gut irritation - Mineral malabsorption - Digestive distress Problems fiber claims to solve that are actually caused by the diet requiring fiber: - All of them Remove the fiber. Remove the problems. It's not complicated.

Dionysiokolakes (or Dionysiokolax) is a venomous term coined by the ancient philosopher Epicurus to insult Plato and his followers, translating to "flatterers of Dionysius" or "flatterers of Dionysus". It literally means "tyrant's sycophants" and implies that Plato and his followers were performative actors lacking sincerity. Dionysiokolakes applies perfectly to modern expert class.

🇺🇸 A country that touts “democracy and freedom” bombed eight nations in under a year, kidnapped foreign presidents, seized oil fields, threatened to occupy Greenland and Canada, and tried to rewrite the map of the entire Western Hemisphere. And inside that same “free world” nation, ICE killed U.S. citizens, including unarmed mothers and ICU nurses, and blinded peaceful student protesters, all under the banner of “rule of law.” 🇨🇺 But Cuba, the country they call a “dictatorship,” survived sixty years of U.S. blockade, faced medicine shortages even during a pandemic, and still sent doctors around the world to save lives. One system performs human rights as a slogan. The other practices it as a duty.

“Dialectical egoism” names the movement by which the individual claims itself against the world’s claims while remaining engaged with the world. It is neither retreat nor domination; it is the appropriation of circumstances into meaning through responsible freedom. The dialectic is double: I negate the idols that demand my allegiance, and I affirm the projects that express my authenticity. No social cause, no scientific theory, no institutional voice is granted veto power over my responsibility. This is not anarchic license; it is disciplined self-possession.

Trump Admin Sued By Families of Boat Strike Victims The US has conducted dozens of strikes on alleged drug boats, killing over 100 people by Kyle Anzalone | January 27, 2026 at 3:00 pm ET The families of two men who were killed by a US strike on their boat in the Caribbean Sea have used the White House to demand justice for the wrongful deaths of their loved ones. The lawsuit alleges that Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, who were killed by a US bomb on October 14, were fishermen. The families are claiming standing for the lawsuit under the High Seas Act and the Alien Tort Statute. The ACLU is part of the legal team representing the families. The Department of War has destroyed at least 36 vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, justifying the lethal action by claiming the victims were members of narcoterrorist cartels, and in the process of bringing narcotics into the US. The White House has not provided evidence to substantiate its allegation. The families of the men claim Joseph and Samaroo “were not members of, or affiliated with, drug cartels,” adding that the Trinidadian government has found no evidence of criminal activity. President Donald Trump’s campaign to destroy alleged drug boats appears illegal on a number of levels. Drug enforcement is a law enforcement issue, and standard procedure would be to intercept the ships, inspect for drugs, and make arrests if narcotics are found. Senator Rand Paul has condemned the attacks as “extrajudicial killing.” The White House has asserted that the strikes are justified as the US is at war with non-state drug traffickers. However, during the September 2 attack, US forces conducted a follow-on strike to kill the survivors after the vessel was disabled. The secondary strike would be a war crime even if the US were at war.

This quietism marks another divergence. Rothbard insisted on moral resistance to the state, viewing taxation, conscription, and regulation as forms of aggression that must be named as such. Daoism often counsels indifference or retreat instead. It undermines authority culturally, but does not articulate a right to oppose it. The most accurate characterization of Daoist political philosophy is therefore not “proto-libertarianism,” but ethical anarchism, grounded in epistemic humility. Daoism rejects rule because it cannot work, not because it violates rights. Its anarchism is negative rather than juridical: it dissolves authority by denying its competence and moral necessity.

The "Mediterranean diet" doesn't exist. It was invented by Ancel Keys in the 1960s after he cherry-picked data from 7 countries out of 22 to prove saturated fat causes heart disease. He studied Crete during Lent when the Orthodox population wasn't eating meat for religious reasons. He recorded this as their normal diet. He studied Southern Italy post-WWII when meat was rationed and people were eating poverty rations, not traditional cuisine. He ignored: - France (high saturated fat, low heart disease) - Switzerland (high cheese consumption, excellent health) - West Germany (rising fat intake, falling heart disease) The countries that contradicted his hypothesis were excluded. The "Mediterranean diet" is what poor people ate during food shortages and religious fasting, marketed as optimal nutrition. Your grandmother in Naples was eating that diet because she was broke, not because it was healthy. When she could afford meat, she bought meat. The entire Mediterranean diet paradigm is based on studying poverty and calling it wisdom.
