PPPD is a type of chronic dizziness. It usually is described as constant sensation of floating or rocking without nausea. It is worse when standing, when tired/towards the end of the day and when in complex visual environments like grocery stores or crowds. It usually comes on after an alarming event such as first panic attack, vestibular migraine, BPPV episode or fainting spell.
Cause
PPPD is a sudden change in the brain’s ability to interpret space/motion. Following an alarming event, the fight or flight system is activated, changing how space/motion is perceived. Once the alarming event stops, instead of resetting, the brain maintains that abnormal perception, causing constant rocking sensation for at least three months. People with migraine or anxiety/depression are at higher risk for developing PPPD, but it can occur in anyone.
Treatment
Treatment is aimed at helping the brain re-establish a better sense of perception and balance. This attempted by using physical therapy, medications that work on serotonin levels in the brain and sometimes psychological therapy to help reduce the anxiety associated with this disturbing condition. Most patients get some relief with the treatments, but some can have symptoms permanently.

…One promising model proposed in 2023 described an inner core that in the past had spun faster than Earth itself, but was now spinning slower. For a while, the scientists reported, the core’s rotation matched Earth’s spin. Then it slowed even more, until the core was moving backward relative to the fluid layers around it.
At the time, some experts cautioned that more data was needed to bolster this conclusion, and now another team of scientists has delivered compelling new evidence for this hypothesis about the inner core’s rotation rate. Research published June 12 in the journal Nature not only confirms the core slowdown, it supports the 2023 proposal that this core deceleration is part of a decades-long pattern of slowing down and speeding up.

The new findings also confirm that the changes in rotational speed follow a 70-year cycle, said study coauthor Dr. John Vidale, Dean’s Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
“We’ve been arguing about this for 20 years, and I think this nails it,” Vidale said. “I think we’ve ended the debate on whether the inner core moves, and what’s been its pattern for the last couple of decades.”
But not all are convinced that the matter is settled, and how a slowdown of the inner core might affect our planet is still an open question — though some experts say Earth’s magnetic field could come into play.
The argument that global warming is coming from heat transfer in the core-mantle region is illuminated by this section from the article: The mysterious region where the liquid outer core envelops the solid inner core is especially interesting, Vidale said. As a place where liquid and solid meet, this boundary is “filled with potential for activity,” as are the core-mantle boundary and the boundary between mantle and crust.
“We might have volcanoes on the inner core boundary, for example, where solid and fluid are meeting and moving,” he said.ABN
They are bold and arrogant, sly and sneaky. They hate the people they parasitize. They lie easily and often. They feel righteous in their behaviors and devise many stories and excuses for their parasitism. They are proud of the fruits of their parasitism. They delight in their parasitic gains and enjoy watching the host society suffer as they feed on it.
They will happily harm children to weaken the host society. No deed that profits them at the expense of their imaginary enemy is too low for them. They will use every trick in the book to remain on top and in secret. Poisoning, maiming or killing any perceived threat is always justified, even if it is shown to be a mistake.
The people who now control USA and the collective West look and act like this. They have maintained perfect secrecy. We do not even know who they are. On the surface, their public functionaries may seem ‘nice’, like Gavin Newsome or Justin Trudeau, but behind them are standing dedicated parasites, whose entire lifestyle is to feed off others while also destroying them.
Parasites of this type are very different from most people, which is why it is difficult for most Westerners to understand why their civilization is disintegrating. Notice how many Western ‘intellectuals’ provide slews of reasons for Western decline but never mention the secret society of parasites and the violence they are wreaking not only on adults but also children.

…Production of TSH follows a circadian rhythm that is it follows a 24-hour cycle with regular fluctuations. TSH production peaks at its highest level between 2:00 and 4:00 am each morning and then drops reaching its low point between 4 and 8 pm in the evening. Though this phenomenon is well known the actual extent of these fluctuations was much greater than was previously thought.
In this current study, researchers from the Federal Endocrinological Research Centre in Moscow, tested 20 women with subclinical hypothyroidism. Morning and afternoon TSH levels were measured and compared. The median morning TSH value for women with subclinical hypothyroidism was 5.83 mU/L. Their afternoon median TSH dropped down to 3.79 mU/L. Following the current guidelines for diagnosis hypothyroidism would have been diagnosed in only half of these cases when tested in the afternoon.
These new data explain why many people who appear to have symptoms of hypothyroidism have been told their test results were normal, that they are fine, when in truth they hypothyroid. TSH levels measured in blood samples drawn in the afternoon should be viewed with caution, as they may be falsely low and appear normal. Samples for all thyroid tests should be collected first thing in the morning.
It gets more complicated than this. Many practitioners consider the current normal range for TSH values to be too broad. Rather than judging TSH levels above 5 as hypothryoidism, some consider the upper limit of normal to be as low as 3.0, while researchers looking at what is called sub-clinical hypothyroidism define the condition by a TSH greater than 2.5. Apparently that is the level at which risk for cardiovascular disease increases significantly.
Good diet, sufficient calories, low stress (i.e. low cortisol, which interferes with conversion), adequate zinc and selenium and l-tyrosine all help in T4-T3 conversion. If you are taking T4 and still do not feel that good, one or more of these factors may be less than optimal. For me, adding l-tyrosine about one hour after a light breakfast has helped. ABN
Who is running this country? This is truly the 64 TRILLION dollar question. The answer is the people who have taken over USA. When we look past USA to Europe, Canada, NZ, and Australia, we see the same domineering and hectoring government policies that have little or nothing to do with the well being of the citizens of those countries. And that shows not only has USA been taken over, the entire Western world has been taken over. Who did it? This is the most basic and most important political question there is. ABN
Stefanik has adopted or revealed her inner demon of Absolute Righteousness on Israel so she probably would do their bidding for free. Whatever the case, notice how inexpensive it is to buy the US Congress. A few hundred million US dollars—say, $822, 550 for each rep—will buy Congress, no matter the issue. That’s how you get what you want. Notice also, we do not even have a real president. Public awareness is all that stands between where we are today and global serfdom, which is already visible down the road. ABN
The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called “signature reduction.” The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.
The unprecedented shift has placed an ever greater number of soldiers, civilians, and contractors working under false identities, partly as a natural result in the growth of secret special forces but also as an intentional response to the challenges of traveling and operating in an increasingly transparent world. The explosion of Pentagon cyber warfare, moreover, has led to thousands of spies who carry out their day-to-day work in various made-up personas, the very type of nefarious operations the United States decries when Russian and Chinese spies do the same.
Newsweek’s exclusive report on this secret world is the result of a two-year investigation involving the examination of over 600 resumes and 1,000 job postings, dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, and scores of interviews with participants and defense decision-makers. What emerges is a window into not just a little-known sector of the American military, but also a completely unregulated practice. No one knows the program’s total size, and the explosion of signature reduction has never been examined for its impact on military policies and culture. Congress has never held a hearing on the subject. And yet the military developing this gigantic clandestine force challenges U.S. laws, the Geneva Conventions, the code of military conduct and basic accountability.
The signature reduction effort engages some 130 private companies to administer the new clandestine world. Dozens of little known and secret government organizations support the program, doling out classified contracts and overseeing publicly unacknowledged operations. Altogether the companies pull in over $900 million annually to service the clandestine force—doing everything from creating false documentation and paying the bills (and taxes) of individuals operating under assumed names, to manufacturing disguises and other devices to thwart detection and identification, to building invisible devices to photograph and listen in on activity in the most remote corners of the Middle East and Africa.
While this program is being done abroad (allegedly) who is doing the same right here in USA? And who has been doing it for many decades? USA has been infiltrated, taken over, and is now being destroyed by a clandestine army similar to what is described in the linked article. And the army described in the article has been infiltrated as well. US policies alone reveal that everything has been infiltrated, taken over. We are living in the midst of a conquered and dying civilization. I bring this topic up often. If it is hard for you to see, just use your imagination while also noticing how rapidly USA has declined. This was not caused by ideas alone or just money. It has been accompanied by violence against young people; taking them out before they can contribute while also replacing them with infiltrators or cooperative ‘useful idiots’ (most of Congress, for example). Incidentally, this also explains the decline in IQ scores in USA. ABN
…One such program was alluded to in a little noticed document dump published by Wikileaks in early 2017 and called “Vault 7”: over 8,000 classified CIA tools used in the covert world of electronic spying and hacking. It is called ExpressLane, where U.S. intelligence has embedded malware into foreign biometrics and watchlist systems, allowing American cyber spies to steal foreign data.
An IT wizard working for Wikileaks in Berlin says the code with ExpressLane suggests that the United States can manipulate these databases. “Imagine for a moment that someone is going through passport control,” he says, hesitant to use his real name because of fear of indictment in the United States. “NSA or the CIA is tasked to corrupt—change—the data on the day the covert asset goes through. And then switch it back. It’s not impossible.”
The “EN” stands for “European Norm.” You might also notice armor listed as “CE”. The letters “CE” are the abbreviation of the French phrase “Conformité Européene” which literally means “European Conformity”. The term initially used was “EC Mark” and it was officially replaced by “CE Marking” in the Directive 93/68/EEC in 1993. “CE Marking” is now used in all EU official documents. All of this has to do with the European motorcycle safety standards. America has unofficially adopted these standards, but they are not required by law for street use. In contrast, to ride a motorcycle in Europe, you have to have protective apparel that meets these standards. Since April 2018, all motorcycle garments fall under the scope of the PPE regulation, which basically means that if it is sold as protective motorcycle apparel, it’s deemed to be personal protective equipment and should be tested at an official notified body under a strict set of standards to comply with the PPE regulation.
How are CE-standards and PPE related? Very much, actually. Motorcycle clothing (specifically jackets and pants/trousers, notwithstanding gloves, boots, and impact protectors) is grouped into what’s called Personal Protective Equipment – aka PPE. And like your kitchenware or electronics, PPE is governed by their own specific set of rules and regulations depending on how these products are used and how they are classified, and which group/subgroup they fall under. Here’s where it gets quite complicated. The set of standards that “govern” PPE – specifically motorcycle clothing – for leisure use is CE-standard EN 17092, which has now become a harmonized European standard.
Harmonized standard, meaning that it is a recognized throughout the EU as a tool that’s widely accepted for the certification of PPE motorcycle garments. That said, we’ll disclaimer here and say that this is intended to be a general overview of an incredibly complex subject that is both politically and economically charged. The purpose is to help riders understand that even with an arguably imperfect system in place, the CE-certification label/marking does mean something. It means that the garments have been tested to meet at least the minimum safety requirements, so you actually know what it’s intended use is. And that’s Personal Protective Equipment in the form of motorcycle clothing.
A major impetus behind standard EN 17092 coming into play is because of aforementioned reason: to make sure riders actually get something protective when shopping for motorcycle clothing without any prior knowledge of materials, constructions, or test methods. Just because it looks strong, doesn’t make it so in an emergency situation. And just because it feels sturdy, doesn’t make it appropriate to be worn at riding speeds. The application of the EN 17092 standard means that clothing that looks like protective motorcycle gear, actually is protective motorcycle gear!
Linked article provides a good, clear explanation of European safety standards for motorcycle garments. These standards are unofficially used in USA, which otherwise does not have its own standards. Article explains the reasoning behind the standards and how to determine what fits your needs. ABN
….Most educated Romans were eclectic in their philosophical opinions, but the most influential school was Stoicism. It had the favor of Cicero at the end of the Republic, and of Marcus Aurelius at the zenith of the Empire. That Stoics professed a form of monotheism is beyond discussion. In a famous Hymn to Zeus, Stoic philosopher Cleanthes (third century BC) called God “Nature’s great Sovereign, ruling all by law,” to whom men must turn their minds in order to live “the noble life, the only true wealth.” Cleanthes prayed that people who do evil by ignorance can be enlightened: “Scatter, O Father, the darkness from their souls.”
It is said that Stoics confused God with the Cosmos or with Nature, and for that they have been labelled in modern times as “pantheists”. But we must be careful with Greek words and their translations: Kosmos means “order”, implying an “Intelligent Design”, and Nature (Phusis) has a dynamic meaning: it is the animating principle within Nature.
Greeks and Romans, however, did not pretend to know God, even less what God wants, what God says, or what God likes. Such anthropomorphism was acceptable for gods, not for God. God is, for the philosopher, the unknowable, or at least the unspeakable, since saying anything about God was putting a limitation on the infinite. This, we may call philosophical humility, which contrasts with theological arrogance.
But if God is unknowable, the laws by which He rules the Cosmos are partly accessible to human science. These laws constitute a sort of intermediate principle, the creative thought or wisdom of God, called Logos in Platonic tradition, sometimes identified as the feminine Sophia, the Wisdom of God. The fact that the universe is ruled by natural laws is proof of the existence of God, according to Cicero (Of the nature of gods II.12.34):
For when we gaze upward to the sky and contemplate the heavenly bodies, what can be so obvious and so manifest as that there must exist some power possessing transcendent intelligence by whom these things are ruled?
…We must remember that the struggle between Rome and Jerusalem is a central dialectical force in ancient history. This reality has been largely underestimated in Western historiography, heir to a Christian civilization whose vocation was to reconcile Rome and Jerusalem.
