Promethean Actionโs reach reflects a larger shift: military shadow-sharing, psyop podcasts, special-operations podcasts, alt-media, and Q-era conflict all moved audiences from passive trust to active skepticism.

The earliest layer was internal. Military and special-operations circles built a vocabulary around influence, persuasion, and perception control before civilians used those terms.

Sex Matters to Quakers: This we can say
June 2026
1. Sex Matters to Quakers like being part of an inclusive church and community as much as all Quakers, and we believe this extends to those who hold sex-realist views and those who do not.

2. โ We advocate for the protection & respect of lawful single sex provision, on the basis of biological sex (such as toilet provisions & residential accommodation) in Quaker settings, plenty of third โgender neutralโ spaces in proportion to need & common sense in smaller venues
3. โ We believe both of these statements are coherently centred in a loving concern for all, and are more accurately, fully and truthfully the โsense of the meetingโ expressed by the wider Quaker community in Minute 31, 2021.

The goal is to simplify trading and look for repeatable patterns to trade in the markets
We want to take advantage of strong market trends
Using big momentum swings in the markets we can catch the biggest moves

In October 1944, more than 200 American soldiers from Texas were trapped in a French forest, surrounded by German troops, with no way out.
The unit sent to save them suffered more than 800 casualties doing it.
Those rescuers were Japanese American soldiers, whose own families were imprisoned back home in US internment camps.
This is the story of the 442nd..๐งต1/6

In the fear and chaos after Pearl Harbor, the United States made a decision that many Americans would later come to regret. Around 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast, most of them American citizens, were moved from their homes into internment camps for the duration of the war.
Among them were thousands of young Nisei, American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They had grown up in the United States. They thought of themselves as Americans, and they wanted the chance to prove it.
In 1943 they got that chance. The Army called for volunteers to form a new all-Nisei combat unit. The response was overwhelming. More than ten thousand men stepped forward, many of them volunteering from inside the very camps where their families were being held.
They became the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. They chose a motto that said everything about them.
Go for Broke.
Bet everything.

They trained at Camp Shelby in Mississippi and shipped out to Italy in 1944, joining the 100th Infantry Battalion, another Japanese American unit that had already fought so hard it earned the grim nickname the Purple Heart Battalion.
From the start, the Nisei soldiers fought with a fierce determination. They knew that every battle was being watched, and that they were fighting not just the enemy in front of them, but the doubts about their loyalty back home. They were determined to leave no question unanswered.
They drove the Germans through Italy, then into southern France. They earned a reputation across the Army as some of the most relentless, dependable soldiers in Europe. Where the 442nd was sent, the line moved forward.
Then, in October 1944, in the cold and fog of the Vosges Mountains in France, they were handed the mission that would define them.

I'm a cardiologist. Let me tell you what I see in my practice that breaks my heart more than any clogged artery.
A patient walks in carrying five diagnoses โ obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and gout โ on seven medications. Each prescribed by a different specialist. Each treating one symptom. None of them talking to each other.
Nobody told this patient the five diagnoses are one disease.
They are five faces of the same metabolic dysfunction. And the root is almost always the same: chronically elevated insulin driving fat storage, inflammation, and organ damage simultaneously.
Medicine gave this patient a bigger bucket under every leak instead of fixing the roof.
Here's the roof. And how to fix it.
In 2025, the ICD-10 coding system โ the official classification used by every hospital and insurance company in America โ added a new code: E11.A. Type 2 diabetes in remission. Medicine now officially recognizes that type 2 diabetes is not a permanent, progressive sentence. It can be reversed.
The DiRECT trial in the UK achieved 46% diabetes remission at one year through intensive dietary intervention. A 2025 Indian study of 2,384 patients achieved 31% remission. A 2024 trial in Pacific Islanders achieved 23% remission โ with some patients entering remission without significant weight loss, proving the mechanism is metabolic, not just weight-driven.
This is not theoretical. It's published, replicated, and now coded in the medical system. Your doctor can document your reversal.
Here's the protocol I walk patients through โ step by step.

For the first 30-60 days, eliminate the foods that spike insulin repeatedly throughout the day: added sugars, sugary drinks, refined carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, cereals, pastries), ultra-processed foods, and excess alcohol.
This isn't about calories. It's about insulin. Every spike locks fat inside fat cells, drives fat storage in the liver, raises blood pressure, elevates uric acid, and fuels systemic inflammation. Remove the constant trigger and your body stops being in defense mode.
Cravings peak around days 3-7 and then drop dramatically. Most patients report a clarity of mind by week two that they haven't felt in years.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฎ: ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ.
Every meal: generous protein (30-50g), non-starchy vegetables (half the plate), healthy fats for satiety (olive oil, avocado, eggs, nuts, butter). Protein at every meal is non-negotiable โ it stabilizes blood sugar, preserves muscle mass, and keeps you full for hours.
No calorie counting needed at the start. When you remove the processed foods that hijack appetite signaling, most people naturally eat less without trying โ because their leptin and ghrelin systems start working properly again.

Two to three meals only. No grazing. No snacking. Eat within an 8-10 hour window โ first meal around noon, last meal by 8 PM.
This gives your body long stretches in a low-insulin state โ the fat-burning, liver-clearing, insulin-sensitizing mode that never activates when you eat six small meals throughout the day. Time-restricted eating improves insulin sensitivity independently of what you eat โ published in multiple controlled trials.
Start at 12 hours. Shrink to 10. Then 8 when it feels natural. This is not deprivation โ it's metabolic rest.

Muscle is the largest glucose disposal organ in your body. It is your metabolic insurance policy. A 2025 meta-analysis confirmed that combined aerobic and resistance training improves body composition, lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism, and physical function in type 2 diabetes.
Minimum effective protocol: strength training 3 times per week โ squats, push-ups, rows, deadlifts โ plus 7,000-10,000 daily steps. A 10-15 minute walk after meals is especially powerful for blood sugar control โ multiple studies show it significantly blunts post-meal glucose spikes.
Do this consistently and your body becomes a glucose-processing machine. Insulin sensitivity improves with every session.

Everyone is reading the Supreme Court's Roundup decision as a fight about glyphosate. Much of MAHA called it a betrayal.
The more I studied the opinion, the more I concluded it is not really about glyphosate at all. ๐งต

The justices did not weigh epidemiology. They did not rule on whether glyphosate causes cancer. They did not pick IARC or EPA as the better science.
They answered a narrow legal question with enormous consequences.
They answered a narrow legal question with enormous consequences.
The question: when EPA approves a pesticide label under FIFRA, can a state jury later decide the manufacturer should have warned more strongly?
The Court's answer was largely no. EPA-approved labels now preempt most state failure-to-warn claims.

2/ Just 11 months ago, Trump signed the largest trade deal ever with the EU.
This week, the EU ratified it. For the first time in history Europe charges us ZERO. And we charge them 15%!
Europe buying $600 billion in new U.S. manufacturing investment and $750 billion in American energy over three years.
The establishment on both sides of the Atlantic said it would never happen, that the whole world would isolate and gang up on America.
Kind of like they told you Hillary would win by 12 points.

3/ At the same time, Marco Rubio negotiated peace between Israel and Lebanon.
Iran gets booted out. Hezbollah gets removed. Lebanon takes full control of its territory for the first time in 51 years.
Mutual recognition of sovereignty. Which is a bigger deal than it sounds, because Lebanon declared war on Israel in 1948 and has legally been at war against them ever since!
This could mean full diplomatic relations and Lebanon joining the Abraham Accords.

Metal exists on a continuum between death & black โ the former axis represents the material, the guttural, the biological, the putrid evenโ the latter axis represents the immaterial, the ideal, the specter, wraith, all that is ghostly. It is the continuum of growl & hiss.
The closer to whispering & singing falsetto is black metal, the closer to grunting, pig squeals, burping; is death metal. Black metal is very โsoftโ music actually, & death metal is more โhard.โ They are easier to distinguish by vocal style than anything else.
Death metal is about dirt biking in the mud & slamming beers, blood sweat ooze filth vomit etc. Black metal is about drinking vodka on ice alone in a tower as the moonlight twinkles on a frozen sea. I understand why people think death metal โsounds like diarrhea.โ
1/ The continued success of Ukraine's FP-5 'Flamingo' cruise missile in hitting targets deep inside Russia is causing frustration and anger among Russian warbloggers. They criticise Russian air defences, but concede clever Ukrainian tactics. โฌ๏ธ
2/ The fact that Volgograd โ the former Stalingrad โ was hit is seen as particularly symbolic and insulting to Russia. Vladimir Romanov complains that Russia's leadership is shying away from ordering Ukraine's leaders to be killed and Kyiv nuked to deter such attacks:
3/ "Looking at the footage of today's leisurely flight of FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Volgograd - I ask myself: if our air defence has degraded to such an extent - what will happen if NATO countries decide to launch a massive strike?
