The forgotten side of skin health and the necessity of sunlight

…2. A large epidemiological study found women with higher solar UVB exposure had only half the incidence of breast cancer as those with lower solar exposure and that men with higher residential solar exposure had only half the incidence of fatal prostate cancer.
Note: a 50% reduction in either of these cancers greatly exceeds what any of the approaches we use to treat or prevent them have accomplished.

3. A 20 year prospective study evaluated 29,518 women in Southern Sweden where average women from each age bracket with no significant health issues were randomly selected, essentially making it one of the best possible epidemiologic studies that could be done. It found that women who were sun avoidant compared to those who had regular exposure to sunlight were:

•Overall 60% more likely to die, being roughly 50% more likely to die than the moderate exposure group and roughly 130% more likely to die than the group with high sun exposure.
Note: to be clear, there are very few interventions in medicine that do anything close to this.

•The largest gain was seen in the risk of dying from heart disease, while the second gain was seen in the risk of all causes of death besides heart disease and cancer (“other”), and the third largest gain was seen in deaths from cancer.
Note: the investigators concluded the smaller benefit in reduced cancer deaths was in part an artifact of the subjects living longer and hence succumbing to a type of cancer that would have only affected them later in life.

• The largest benefit was seen in smokers, to the point non-smokers who avoided the sun had the same risk of dying as smokers who got sunlight.
Note: I believe this and the cardiovascular benefits are in large part due to sunlight catalyzing the synthesis of nitric oxide (which is essential for healthy blood vessels) and sulfates (which coat cells like the endothelium) and in conjunction with infrared (or sunlight) are what create the liquid crystalline water that is essential for the protection and function of the cardiovascular system).

So given all of this, I would say that you need a really good justification to avoid sun exposure.

Russia says blasts led to deadly train crashes in regions bordering Ukraine

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Investigators say ‘explosions’ caused two bridges to collapse, triggering derailments and at least seven deaths

Russian investigators said they believed “explosions” had caused two bridges in the border regions of Kursk and Bryansk to collapse overnight, derailing trains, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens.

In Bryansk, which borders Ukraine, a road bridge collapsed on to a railway line late on Saturday, derailing a passenger train heading to Moscow and killing at least seven people. A rail bridge in neighbouring Kursk also collapsed overnight, derailing a freight train and injuring the driver, officials said. Kursk also borders Ukraine.

The twin bridge disasters came on the eve of possible peace talks in Turkey demanded by the US and aimed at ending the three-year-old war in Ukraine.

Almost certainly yet more Zelensky moves to derail peace negotiations. ABN

Inside the Pentagon, she crossed a line with Pete Hegseth — now she’s out

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A pro-MAGA reporter who criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s treatment of the press at the Pentagon lost her job after speaking out.

Gabrielle Cuccia is a proud ‘MAGA girl’ who has long been outspoken about her adoration of President Trump.

But while working as the chief Pentagon correspondent at pro-Trump television channel One America News, Cuccia published a tell-all article to her personal Substack channel about the pitfalls of Hegseth’s leadership.

‘If you want the best case study for the death of the MAGA movement — look no further than the Department of Defense,’ she wrote.

‘People sleep on the Pentagon. They don’t realize what’s been simmering at the bottom for weeks, months, sometimes even years.’

Cuccia had expressed concerns Hegseth was blocking media access in the wake of his Signal scandal, in which a journalist was unintentionally added to a group chat with Hegseth where he openly shared sensitive details about an impending strike on Houthi targets in Yemen. 

From that moment onwards, Cuccia said Hegseth shut down crucial communication points between the press and his staff in an effort to ‘reduce the opportunity for in-person inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures.’

‘Think of every time you hear a journalist reference a source as “Defense Official” or something abstract… a lot of times, it’s coming from these guys,’ she revealed about the Pentagon press office.

‘And they are always there to provide additional context, field questions, and relay the reality of ops in an unclassified manner.’

Her article was published on Monday. By Thursday, her boss had asked her to hand in her Pentagon access badge, and on Friday she was fired, she told CNN.

One GOOD way the totalitarian surveillance state COULD work is IDENTIFY AND MAP THE PSYCHOPATHIC GROUPS who are DESTROYING USA and TAKE THEM OUT

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

There are groups of psychopaths who do almost all the bad conspiracies that harm USA.

With today’s tech, a moral group within government (or next to it) could easily map who the bad guys are, how they are connected to each other and how they do their conspiracies.

Ofc, we have not seen anything like this so far but it is possible.

If the mapping were done using our best technology, entire syndicates of bad actors could be busted in one day.

For this to happen, the tables will have to be turned somewhere deep inside the intelligence community, or high above it.

Massive raids on the syndicates by special forces would effect enormous change for the good almost immediately.

By busting these groups and disabling them permanently, USA would free itself from widespread infestations of these parasites.

Needless to say, these parasitic groups themselves know who they are and how they are connected and they are probably well aware of this vulnerability.

But they would not necessarily know they are being identified and slated for destruction.

If the bad guys can hide, so can the good guys.

If something like this ever happens, I doubt we the plebs will know anything about it until it happens.

What are the odds? Maybe not so bad.

What if someone like Peter Thiel were already doing this? Or someone we have never heard of.

A small group of tech geniuses with deep moral sensibilities might be fascinated by work like this and become passionate about pulling it off.

USA has harbored many clandestine criminal gangs.

Maybe the new surveillance tech will help us get a secret gang of really good people who will wipe them out. ABN

COVID-19: 51% Suspect Heart Damage From Vaccine

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 51% of American Adults believe it’s likely that the COVID-19 vaccine has caused inflammation in the hearts of many vaccinated Americans, including 29% who think it is Very Likely. Twenty-eight percent (28%) don’t consider it likely that COVID-19 vaccine caused many cases of heart inflammation, and 21% are not sure.  (To see survey question wording, click here.) 

Earlier this month, the FDA ordered makers of COVID-19 vaccines to expand their warnings about the risk of the heart side effects — which doctors call myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart). Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republicans, 39% of Democrats and 49% of those not affiliated with either major party believe it’s at least somewhat likely that many have suffered heart inflammation caused by COVID-19 vaccine.

The problem has always been it takes the public too long to figure stuff out. The psychopaths running the show can do whatever they want and it takes years for a majority to even marginally understand what has happened to them, even when you force them to take a vax that clearly from day one was never Safe & Effective. How in the world could an untested vax possibly be declared Safe & Effective and why does the public not see something so obvious? I wonder if there is a way AI can speed up the pace of understanding. Probably it will only slow it. All we have left is interpersonal dialog in person or online. That is the only thing which can stand against the looming totalitarian state. Many of us have seen what is coming and also know there is little we can do but raise awareness, a near hopeless task. FWIW, I am not totally black-pilled and even feel pretty good about the new tech revolution. A major thing to hope for is the elite will become bored with their greed and sadism. Humans become wonderful when they have time to think and are not greedy or mean-spirited. ABN

The Great (American) Poisoning — CA Fitts

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I do not buy this. There may be some truth in it but it works more as a cover up than an explanation of the demise of USA and the collective West. What really has been happening is a gradual, many decades-long poisoning of Western civilization not just in the ways Fitts says but also covertly in huge numbers. The purpose has been and still is to completely destroy Western civilization. See other posts and comments on this site for who is responsible, why and how. See also Military thought experiment Part 1 for a strategic understanding of how it was and is being done. ABN

‘The truth is the Germans did NOT start the Second World War’ — Colonel Douglas Macgregor

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Control of history is a major part of mass mind-control in the present. Macgregor is busting just one of the many myths about Germany’s role in WW2. When we see German history in a more truthful light, our understanding of the world we are now living in changes profoundly. The real danger faced by Europe in the years before WW2 were the mass-murdering Bolsheviks in Russia, very few of whom were Russian. ABN

Conditional support for Marco Rubio

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

He has been surprisingly good as Secretary of State. He is a good talker, straight to the point, does not pull punches. He appears to be doing what Trump wants him to do and doing it well. He is on-track for a strong presidential campaign in 2028. He also has this rope around his neck:

How he handles his handlers is a major sign of how he will govern USA. So far, he has walked the line reasonably well. He has removed student visa-holders for anti-Israeli and anti-Gaza massacre activities. BUT he has also repeatedly championed American free speech rights.

Free speech is our most important right. If all if us can agree on that, we have some chance of surviving technological totalitarianism.

In the real world where Rubio is a real player today and a real presidential candidate in future, these aspects of American politics and law must be kept in mind.

Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Trump administration is collecting data on all Americans, and they are enlisting the data analysis company Palantir to do it.

The New York Times reports that President Trump has enlisted the firm, founded by far-right billionaire Peter Thiel, to carry out his March executive order instructing government agencies to share data with each other. The order has increased fears that the government is putting together a database to wield surveillance powers over the American public.

Since then, the administration has been very quiet about these efforts, increasing suspicion. Meanwhile, Palantir has taken more than $113 million in government spending since Trump took office, from both existing contracts and new ones with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security. That number is expected to grow, especially given that the firm just won a new $795 million contract with the DOD last week.

Palantir is speaking with various other agencies across the federal government, including the Social Security Administration and the IRS, about buying its technology, according to the Times. Palantir’s Foundry tool, which analyzes and organizes data, is already being used at the DHS, the Department of Health and Human Services, and at least two other agencies, allowing the White House to compile data from different places.

This is an opinion piece, slanted toward privacy and against totalitarianism, but I do not see how anyone can stop data collection. Information about us is everywhere and easily gathered. It can be weaponized and probably will. How do you stop it? If USA does not do it, others will. Information knows no borders. This is another reason why we should do all we can to preserve free speech and support those who support it. Free speech and freedom of thought are all we have left to protect ourselves. Masses of free humans will become the only database that can stand up to AI and those who control it. ABN
