Under the greatest propaganda machine in human history, an international attack by every government in the world, the WHO, the WEF, the UN, all of them in lockstep with a 24-hour news cycle pounding you every single day, 30% of the world still said oh hell no.
Think about what that means. Under that kind of pressure, with your job on the line, with your ability to provide for your family on the line, 30% of people around the world held the line.
In England, experts told me 30% denied receiving a single COVID vaccine. Someone from Denmark said the same. Someone from Finland. America is right about the same. I was just in Europe weeks ago and that number kept coming up everywhere I went.
That is a rebellion army. That is an international movement that already knows the truth. 30% changes governments.
And then think about the 70% who did get that vaccine. How many of them actually wanted it? How many got it under duress because they had no other choice? I think there is at least another 20% in there who know they were lied to and are just waiting for permission to say it out loud.
I think at least half the world knows. We have got to start speaking loudly, every one of us, and speaking proudly, because if we don’t we are going to lose free speech and we are going to lose this movement, and this movement can make change not just in America but around the world.
This is very good news. Let’s hope the CDC follows suit. All Americans everywhere should have complete and unquestioned control over which vaccines they want to take or not take. And this right to personal autonomy should also apply to all babies, infants, and minor children as determined by their parents, not the school system, not the governor, not the state legislature. Moreover, all vaccine manufacturers should immediately, if not sooner, lose non-liability for injuries caused by their vaccines. Shielding these companies from liability has opened a Niagara Falls of corrupt money for harmful and even deadly vaccines. ABN
It has been shown conclusively that in the earliest sutras Buddha is shown as having attained nirvana in this lifetime, and did not lose it during the decades before his death. Hundreds of years later, in Normative Buddhism, the early picture of Buddha’s enlightenment as nirvana had become increasingly modified, to the point that many came to consider it impossible to attain nirvana in one lifetime. Nevertheless, this must not mislead us into thinking that such was the view of the Buddha’s followers in his lifetime, or soon after his death. It is logically necessary for the Buddha to have achieved nirvana and for his followers to have believed that they could do the same thing if they imitated him, in order for such later ideas to have developed in reaction to it. If the Buddha had not achieved his remarkable, heroic breakthrough, there would have been no Buddhism.

In early Buddhism, it is also true that no one thought of the Buddha as a god. The Buddha himself, even in ‘Normative Buddhist’ texts, claims that he is ‘just a man’ and that anyone can achieve nirvana if they do the work (karma). It would probably be a good thing for Buddhists today to emphasize these points; and by so doing, remind Buddhism of its deepest roots — Nirvana is a real state that anyone can achieve if they do the work; and all dharmas (things) are characterized by the Three Signs, or Trilakṣaṇa: “All dharmas are anitya ‘impermanent’…. All dharmas are duḥkha ‘unsatisfactory, imperfect, unstable’…. All dharmas are anātman ‘without an innate self-identity’.” ABN
…The device, called proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation (pHGNS), targets specific nerves in the tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.
It is a small, rechargeable battery-powered device, about the size of a pacemaker. It is surgically implanted under the skin in the upper chest, just below the collarbone.
A thin, flexible wire connects the chest generator to the nerve in the neck. This wire runs under the skin and is not visible from the outside.
At the end of the wire is a small, multicontact electrode cuff. This cuff wraps directly around the hypoglossal nerve, which controls tongue movement.
When the patient turns the device on before sleeping, the cuff delivers mild electrical pulses to the hypoglossal nerve.
These pulses stimulate the tongue and other airway muscles to contract and stiffen. This keeps the airway open during sleep, preventing the throat from collapsing and blocking breathing.
The conclusion to be drawn from the evidence about Pyrrho’s thought and practice is that he adopted a form of Early Buddhism during his years in Bactria and Gandhāra, including its philosophical-religious and pragmatic elements, but he stripped it of its alien garb and reconstituted it as a new ‘Greek Buddhism’ for the Hellenistic world, which he presented in his own words to Timon and his other students.

The earliest attested philosophical-religious system that is both historically datable and clearly recognizable as a form of Buddhism is Early Pyrrhonism, the teachings and practices of Pyrrho of Elis and Timon of Phlius, as shown in Chapter One. Its central features correspond exactly to some of the central features of the traditional putatively “early” form of Buddhism presented in Pali canonical texts.
However, the latter tradition of Buddhism also contains many elements—beliefs, institutions, devotional practices, and so on—which developed at the earliest in the Saka-Kushan period, three centuries after Pyrrho. They spread throughout the ancestors of the attested forms of Buddhism, creating Normative Buddhism. The elements that are attested only from approximately the Saka-Kushan period on—the exact time remains to be established—are far from trivial. They include the Saṃgha, the community of monks; the idea of the bhikṣu ‘monk’ per se, as well as of the bhikṣunī ‘nun’; the vihāra or monastery; the Vinaya, or Buddhist monastic code; worship of the Buddha;4 development of the idea of reincarnations of the Buddha, both human and godlike; abhidharma or “Buddhist scholasticism”; and many others. They are now considered to be essential elements of traditional Buddhism, yet there is no historically sound evidence that they existed at all5 (and some evidence that they did not yet exist) until long after the visit of Pyrrho in 330–325 BC and that of Megasthenes in 305–304 BC. The lateness of the development of devotion for the Buddha and Buddha incarnations, as well as reverence for the Buddha’s teachings (the Dharma) and the community of monks (the Saṃgha), means that the invention of the Triratna (‘Three Jewels’) formula is even later (perhaps as a “popular” substitute for the difficult Trilakṣaṇa1 ‘Three Characteristics’ formula, which is phonetically similar.

A six-month old Neanderthal infant who lived more than 50,000 years ago reached the physical size of a modern one-year old toddler in just six months. The discovery, based on a highly complete skeleton, points to a rapid growth pattern in early life.
The fossil, called Amud 7, was found in a cave near the Sea of Galilee and dates back between 51,000 and 56,000 years. Reconstructed from 111 bone fragments, gave to scientists a detailed look at Neanderthal infancy, a stage rarely preserved in the archaeological record.
Growth rates influence energy needs, parental care, and adaptation to climate. In this situation, the findings suggest a faster start to life in a demanding environment.
Historically elites have very often controlled their subjects by limiting their access to healthy food. We see that today displayed in supermarkets, where the majority of available foods are bad for people. We also see it in the uses of vaxxes, which in many cases act like bioweapons. Hulscher provides yet another example of harmful injections causing a weakening of the population. ABN
To understand why CO₂ levels rise and fall over millennia, look at a glass of sparkling water.
When it’s cold, it stays fizzy. When it warms up, it goes flat as the CO₂ escapes into the air. The Earth’s oceans work exactly the same way. This is the principle of a solubility pump.
Cold water is a carbon sponge; warm water is a carbon chimney. Because the oceans hold 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, even a tiny change in sea temperature causes a massive shift in atmospheric CO₂. This explains the time lag seen in ice core data.
Historically, temperature rises first, and CO₂ follows centuries later. Why? Because it takes a long time for the deep, cold thermal flywheel of the ocean to warm up enough to start releasing its stored carbon.
When the oceans finally warm—driven by those million-year Milankovitch cycles—they exhale CO₂. This natural outgassing is a primary driver of the atmospheric shifts we see in the geological record.
It is a biological and physical response to a warming world, not a trigger for a crisis.
The planet is essentially recycling carbon from its massive oceanic reservoir to its parched terrestrial landscapes. It’s a self-regulating system of incredible complexity and beauty.
