An interesting population-level signal is coming from Barcelona.
Antihistamines, Long COVID and thrombosis🧵
Antihistamines, Long COVID and thrombosis🧵
A large real-world preprint analysis (~193,000 people, 2020–2025) suggests that people chronically taking antihistamines had
fewer thrombotic events
and almost no recorded long COVID - even after multiple reinfections.
This is not proof. But it is not noise either.

First, the basics.
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial.
So it cannot establish causality.
What it can do is identify patterns worth taking seriously - especially when they are consistent across subgroups.

Offshore wind is one of the most expensive, unreliable, subsidy-dependent schemes ever pushed upon American taxpayers. Here’s why @POTUS is prioritizing energy projects like clean, beautiful coal & U.S. natural gas that actually WORK 🧵
Offshore wind forces consumers and taxpayers to pay CONSIDERABLY more for electricity than proven sources. The prices from the 5 paused offshore wind projects are, on average, 75% HIGHER than already-high grid prices on the East Coast!
Even more stark is the cost of electricity produced by offshore wind versus natural gas: in New England, offshore wind is the most expensive source of energy, being nearly 12x more than natural gas.
Immunity that once protected us from deadly infections
may now increase the risk of autoimmunity, Long COVID, and chronic inflammation.
A new review explains why🧵

Here’s the paradox.
The strongest genetic risk factors for autoimmune diseases are also some of the oldest immune genes we carry.
If they were purely harmful, evolution would have removed them long ago.

🚨The results of the 2025 Turning Point Action America Fest Straw Poll are in. Thread.
Vice President JD Vance won the 2028 nomination straw poll in a landslide, garnering a MASSIVE 84.2% of support, followed by Sec. Marco Rubio (4.8%), and Ron DeSantis (2.9%).

We also asked about President Trump's cabinet, and they remain broadly popular with the base.
The top three most popular cabinet secretaries are Sec. Pete Hegseth (83.3% strongly approve), Sec. RFJ Jr. (80.3% strongly approve), and Sec. Marco Rubio (78.6% strongly approve).

We also polled attendees views on Israel. A clear majority view Israel as one ally of many (53.4%), about 1/3 of attendees see Israel as our top ally (33.3), while 13.3% do not view Israel as an ally at all.
Colostrum is called "liquid gold" for a reason.
It's one of the most powerful tools we have to heal the gut, improve immunity / allergies and even brain function.
Here's how (🧵1/9):
It's one of the most powerful tools we have to heal the gut, improve immunity / allergies and even brain function.
Here's how (🧵1/9):
Colostrum is also known as "first milk."
It is the milk produced immediately after birth, within the first few days in cows.
This is not any ordinary milk. Because newborns have very underdeveloped guts and immune systems, the colostrum is there to rapidly help fortify and mature it.
It contains multiple bioactives to accomplish this:
◇ Immunoglobulin antibodies
◇ Growth factors
◇ Oligosaccharides
◇ Enzymes
These factors synergize to yield some incredible benefits.

These factors synergize to yield some incredible benefits.
The most prominent component are the immunoglobulins.
These act in a few days to help the immune system and digestion:
➥ Immune exclusion: they bind to common pathogens like bacteria and viruses and prevent them from activating the immune response.
➥ Immune tolerance: these antibodies couple with our own immune cells in order to mount a proper response. Without them, the immune system can get overwhelmed and ignite excessive inflammation.
➥ Immune modulation: they can directly induce an anti-inflammatory response in T cells, critical for avoiding autoimmunity, allergies and other histamine related issues.

🔥🔥🔥Massive NATO scandal! They are attacking conservatives globally!
A Trump resistance org, Defend Democracy, operated from Brussels, and ran influence ops on Twitter. Then they partnered with the US gov, and NATO. Yes, they all worked with the Trump resistance folks!
Some of you may recognize this operation from their earlier days of Trumps presidency. This lady, Alice Stollmeyer, from Brussels called herself an influencer. Before Trump, she concentrated on climate stuff. After Trump was elected, she went berserk with resistance stuff.
Remember the 2017 Alt government Twitter accounts? Like Rogue Whitehouse, Alt HHS, and President Bannon etc. She handled the operations and called it the twistance. They went after Elon too in 2017? 😹 They locked down their accounts now conveniently.
Defend Democracy project funders include(d): Democracy and Media Fund, SIDN Fund, the US Mission to the EU,
NATO Public Diplomacy Division, Friedrich Naumann Foundation, Heinrich Boell Foundation.
This was a major link between the EU and:
US Mission to the EU is home to some 100 employees representing the Department of State, as well as the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture, Homeland Security, Justice and Treasury; the Agency for International Development and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
The US Mission to the EU funding under Rubio was discontinued including for DEI purposes too. But the NATO funding remains.
They operate a bunch of programs, some concentrating on disinfo and the EU DSA, here’s a few:
Their defenders of Democracy program is advised by a handful of people including Soros Open Societies Director, Heather Grabbe.
Another program called Democracy Drinks that operates meetings in multiple cities such as Brussels, The Hague, Berlin and Washington DC.
The DC Democracy Drinks, are organised by the Inter-Movement Impact Project and Rank the Vote.
The Inter Movement Project claims that Nina Jankowicz’s, The American Sunlight Education Initiative, is a project of theirs. REALLY? They own Nina? Powned..
Later, this NATO funded org, along with others, posted global anti right wing messages and letters on Politico. It was a huge scandal that few saw. Wanna see this?
If we need a reason to leave NATO, this is it. They ARE anti conservative, and funded these activities. We would be fools to stay.
Sources to follow and I’ll show you rampant NATO funding.

Let’s start at the beginning. I saw Biden colluding with influence ops from foreign countries. That’s minor compared to this. A little research brought me to Politico.
Full Beam is key here… This was NATO funded. Oh yeah baby. Don’t let far right forces shape our destiny.
“**A message from Full Beam Media: To all new MEPs: congratulations, you inherit a remarkable legacy. A clear majority of voters want Europe to look to the centre - a Focal data poll conducted on EU election week shows. Civil society is asking: Stand for Europe's values.

This is NATO funded Defend Democracy listed on the EU site. This also lists their meetings together.
This also links to their collusion on the DSA aka the digital services act. Plus tons more stuff.
Now remember they are the Trump resistance. I’ll show you this after I expose their NATO funding.

@TheBabylonBee biblical evidence points to a birth year closer to 6–4 B.C., based on Herod’s death in 4 B.C. and the timing of the Roman census mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.

@TheBabylonBee The Gospels of Matthew and Luke affirm Bethlehem as Jesus’ birthplace. Although the exact year remains debated, the consensus among scholars places his birth before Herod’s death in 4 B.C.

I'm finally coming back home
I've definitely started the process of coming out of exile in the last several months. I've seen enough clear signs to confirm it now.
I wish to thank all the people who helped me recently. It basically redeemed me from this condition, so thank you.

I've been in this weird condition for about 25-26 years now, so i was getting a little discouraged to say the least.
It all started when i asked strange questions, and now it seems to be ending when i found what i was searching for.

The last piece of the puzzle was given relatively recently by a farmer i was buying goose eggs from. I don't think she realized the value of the knowledge she shared with me about fallowing... but for me, it was the final piece of a huge puzzle I've been working on for years.
@Panchenko_X @JDVance Your 10-tweet propaganda thread is pure Kremlin playbook: exaggerate isolated crimes, blame Zelenskyy/Yermak, ignore that Ukraine's at war & still busts scammers. Real news (Dec 2025): Ukrainian police + Eurojust/EU allies just dismantled a major call-center fraud ring in...
@Panchenko_X @JDVance Kyiv/Dnipro – 72 searches, arrests, €10M+ losses stopped.
@Panchenko_X @JDVance 1/10: "2000 fraudulent call centers" stealing $10B/year? Zero evidence, classic FSB lie. Ukraine fights daily missile barrages – resources go to defense, not your fantasy empire.

1. So I have a few thoughts on "heritage Americans," Nathanial Hawthorne, witch-hunting, Thomas Pynchon, Calvinism, strange feuds, the Daughters of the American Revolution, FDR, the moral responsibilities of nationalism & (lest we forget) Jack Kirby.
2. The American right is touting the phrase "Heritage American," the supposed identity of people who have been in USA for generations. Much can be said about this form of ancestor worship but maybe one path is to talk about a real Heritage American, Thomas Pynchon.
3. The first Pynchon to arrive in the Western Hemisphere was William Pynchon, in 1630. He was the great-great-great-great-grandfather (give or take a great) of the author of Gravity's Rainbow.
