1/11 Statins are increasingly linked in both genetic and clinical research to higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes - and the mechanism may not be a “side effect” at all, but a direct consequence of how statins 'work'.
/2
2/11 Randomized controlled trials have repeatedly shown increased incidence of T2D in statin users, especially with higher-intensity treatment. Genetic studies examining variants in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway show the same pattern.
/3
3/11 People carrying LDL-lowering variants near the HMGCR gene - effectively mimicking lifelong partial statin inhibition, tend to have:
- lower LDL-C
- higher fasting insulin
- increased BMI
- increased risk of type 2 diabetes

Charlie Kaufman movie about civil rights movement hijinks: commie spy / literal noble Jessica Mitford—at center of all the New Left stuff, including Hillary Clinton’s 1st law job—fraudulently hiring fake wives for black rapists to testify they’re innocent. “She really testified!” Image

Imagine one of his campy deepity meta movies about all this fakery being in some sense real. “Well we really did commit to the bit. We really did commit perjury. We really did fool the audience. & we really won. & isn’t that what really matters deep down?”
Open on aimless neurotic Jewish-ish guy, unlikable failure, obsessed with staging perfect hate hoaxes as an apolitical art form; loves to play the audience, gets ever more backing & success, but his producers keep him secret & think it’s about politics 😔

1/9 Ebola is once again being used to spread panic in the population so I thought I would give my take on what is actually happening here.

I highly recommend you learn about Ebola and how/when it first emerged.

There is a documentary that may be on YouTube, narrated by Glenn Close called the Plague Monkeys that talks about the emergence of two hemorrhagic diseases- Ebola and Marburg Virus - which are both monkey viruses.Image
2/9 I want you to keep in mind that monkey cell lines (kidney, lung, liver, etc) were used in the manufacture of polio vaccines and still are though the cells are now ‘immortalized’ so no more monkeys need to be killed for the manufacture of vaccines, but the same cell lines are simply reproduced over and over again without them dying (going through apoptosis). Cancer cells also avoid apoptosis and are a type of immortal cell. Is there a connection?

Monkeys are also still used in labs around the world for vaccine and drug research and other animal tissue (dogs, hamsters, horses, insects, horseshoe crabs and more) can be found in the labs and also in the end-products since there is no way to fully filter out these cells or their genetic codes. Vaccines can be highly-contaminated products - something which most people are unaware of.Image
3/9 The very first outbreak of Marburg Virus (a close relative to Ebola which causes clinically indistinguishable symptoms) was in German vaccine manufacturing facilities in Marburg, Frankfurt and elsewhere in Germany where researchers were using monkey body parts in the manufacture of polio vaccines. 31 researchers were infected and 7 died. It was not in Africa, where people have been exposed to monkeys for thousands of years - but in Germany in 1967 when these diseases emerged.Image

Na začátku jsem psal, že Henleinova SdP (Sudetendeutsche Heimatfront, pak Sudetendeutsche Partei) začínala jako "Kameradschaftsbund".
"Spolek kamarádů".

Když sledujete vystopení i obsah projevů na "Sudetoněmeckým dni", vypadá to, jako by to zas "Spolek kamarádů" byl. Image

Jednou za rok se sjedou, poděkujou si, poplácají se, rozdají si "Konradspreise" (alias "Karlspreise"), zavzpomínají na untergrund...

Konrada Henleina už nikdo z nich nepamatuje.
Ale jeho kolegové, blízký spolupracovníci, je politicky zasvěcovali. Image

Což nám na tom vybraným sletu přiznal nejen Posselt, ale i Rouček.

🚨Plano ISD, Texas 🚨 - Internal records obtained through a lawsuit filed by Citizens Defending Freedom Show that Plano ISD knew about Severe mold contamination at Murphy Middle School - and DELAYED Informing Parents!

The documents include:
- Internal emails
- Work orders
- IAQ testing requests
- Mold remediation invoices
- Photographs from inside the school

School started on August 12, 2025.

By August 18 - LESS than two weeks later - district work orders were already documenting:
- Excessive humidity
- Indoor air quality concerns
- Active leaks
- Mold growing on classroom items

One work order specifically references a classroom American flag that was “less than 2 weeks old” already growing mold.

The records also include photographs appearing to show mold growing on:
- Classroom flags
- Chairs
- Furniture
- Classroom materials

Another internal email chain shows a leaking ceiling work order being marked “COMPLETE” at 7:53am.

But at 11:13am, a district employee responded:

“This WO was marked as completed and it is not. It is still dripping water and nothing looks like it has been done.”

The records also show district employees urgently requesting indoor air quality testing.

One email states:

“Please rush this requisition. We need to have Farmer do the IAQ test ASAP.”

Then came October 3, 2025.

A remediation report from Blackmon Mooring/BMS CAT states representatives met with Plano ISD at Murphy Middle School at 9pm regarding mold damage involving:

- 43 classrooms/offices/labs
- HVAC contamination
- Mold contamination of structure and contents
- Drywall and carpet removal
- Furniture remediation

But according to the records, parents were NOT NOTIFIED the school would shut down until AFTER 11pm that night - forcing families to scramble for childcare and work accommodations for the following week.

The financial records are equally significant.

Invoices tied to the remediation total OVER $615,000, including:

- $250,000
- $197,145.59
- $118,566.50
- $50,021.71

How long did Plano ISD know the situation was this serious before the public was informed?

Citizens Defending Freedom deserves credit for securing these records after having to SUE Plano ISD for them. According to a source, they were unable to recover attorney fees despite forcing disclosure of the documents.

Parents trusted their children were walking into safe classrooms!Image
Image
Plano ISD appears to have known Murphy Middle School’s HVAC system needed major repairs for at least two months while mold issues were ongoing throughout the summer. Records show a nearly $25,000 purchase order dated August 4, 2025, for HVAC technician labor tied to evaluating and repairing outside air handlers at Murphy MS, along with internal emails approving the work. If the district knew the HVAC system was failing badly enough to require substantial repairs for months before school started, why were students and staff allowed back into the building before the issue was fully addressed and parents properly informed?Image

Si l'armée ukrainienne frappe de plus en plus le territoire russe 🇷🇺, l'armée russe poursuit et intensifie sa campagne de frappes sur l'Ukraine.

Cette carte présente une bonne partie des frappes de drones longue portée et quelques missiles depuis janvier 2026.

🧵THREAD🧵1/11 ⬇️ Image
Chaque jour, l'armée russe frappe le territoire ukrainien avec des centaines de drones kamikazes Shahed iranien (fabriqués en Russie sous le nom de Geran), mais aussi des leurres, comme les Gerbera ou les Parody.

On constate une augmentation progressive des frappes. Image
Après deux mois records, nous nous dirigeons progressivement vers un nouveau record avec probablement plus de 7 000 frappes de drones stratégiques en mai 2026.

Attention, il faut bien garder à l'esprit qu'environ 30 à 40% de ces drones sont en réalités des leurres. Image

O MBL foi perseguido durante o governo Bolsonaro?

Segue o fio 🧶
1) OPERAÇÃO JUNO MONETA

1.1) Um dos casos mais citados é, justamente, a operação Juno Moneta, deflagrada em 10/07/2020.

A acusação do MP, em suma, sustentou que o MBL e alguns empresários supostamente ligados ao grupo estariam, juntos, em um esquema de lavagem de R$ 400 milhões, e que referida quantia fora lavada mediante superchats do youtube.

g1.globo.com/sp/sao-paulo/n…
1.2) Poucos meses antes de ser deflagrada a operação, era bastante visível que o Bolsonarismo, em peso, buscava, de alguma forma, sepultar o MBL.

Veja, por exemplo, o seguinte post, que incitava a colocar a PF no encalço do grupo:

It's 2000, & diver Rod Macdonald has discovered something terrifying:

No es falta de disciplina.
Ni falta de fuerza de voluntad.
Son estas 3 razones: Image

El principal problema es que todo ahora pasa por el móvil.

Pedir comida. Hablar. Trabajar. Comprar. Entretenerte.
Lo que antes hacías sin pantalla, ahora vive dentro de ella. Y sin darte cuenta, se convierte en una extensión de ti.
Esto lleva al segundo problema...

El segundo problema: Las redes sociales.

No están ahí por casualidad. Están diseñadas para retenerte. Cada scroll, cada notificación, cada vídeo…
Está optimizado para que no te vayas. Horas y horas consumiendo sin darte cuenta.

I went to the same nursery school as Wes Streeting and grew up on the housing estate opposite his.

Here is a little thread on what the East End was like at that time.

Take it as the East End equivalent of those Johnson / Cameron era Old Etonians explaining what Pop was like. Image
Streeting's autobiography is a really good guide to this world. I read it recently and felt incredibly nostalgic. There were so many little details that rang true - the long queues in the drafty Whitechapel post office, the Wimpy opposite, riding on the brand new DLR in the late 80s.

But one thing rings true above all else - the importance of council housing.
After Wes is born, his mum is living at her mum's. There is not enough space for them all, but they are a low priority for council housing.

So Wes's mum pretends that her mum has thrown her out, in order to jump up the housing queue. It works and they get a place on the Clichy estate, opposite the Stifford estate where I grew up.Image

Here it is:

The story no one is telling in full.
The opening acts are over.
Here’s what’s actually unfolding.

Act 1: The Bond Market Breaks
Japan’s 30Y hits an all-time high yield.
US 30Y crosses 5%.
UK gilts at their highest since 2008.
This isn’t a glitch.
This is the world repricing sovereign debt simultaneously.
For 40 years, bonds were the safe haven.
The place you parked value when everything else was uncertain.
What happens when the safe haven isn’t safe?
Act 2: The Carry Trade Unwinds
For decades, Japan borrowed at 0% and bought the world.
US treasuries. US equities. Global real estate.
Now Japanese yields are rising.
That money has to go home.
August 2024 was a tremor.
We haven’t felt the quake yet.
When the carry trade fully unwinds — trillions in assets get sold to cover positions.
Who’s buying?
Act 3: China Watches
Trump leaves Beijing with nothing.
No trade breakthrough. No help on Iran.
But Iran let Chinese vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
China didn’t need Trump’s deal.
China already made its own.
While the US debates debt ceilings, China is quietly building the alternative — trade routes, commodity deals, bilateral agreements that bypass the dollar entirely.
BRICS isn’t a threat yet.
But it’s building the infrastructure to become one.
Sound familiar?

A 12-year-old Ukrainian boy saved his siblings by doing something many soldiers fail to do under pressure.

Anatolii Prokhorenko grabbed a fiber-optic cable connected directly to Russia and stopped a drone seconds before it hit children playing near his house, The WP. 1/ Image
The drone was hunting civilians.

Russia uses FPV drones to track and strike people biking, driving, walking, or standing near their homes in border regions — a tactic Ukrainians call “human safari.” 2/
These drones are connected by hair-thin fiber-optic cables stretching up to 12 miles, making them immune to electronic jamming. Russia scaled them massively during battles in Kursk. 3/

To no surprise, GL is still using this same fraudulent stamp that features their registration number, conveniently missing one digit. This time, it's to manipulate not the Verkhovna Rada, but the Uman city council, who let them build a tombstone-looking stele on their grounds. Image

I guess it's not exactly out of character for our fake commander of the fake legion. One wonders when Ukrainian authorities will stop ignoring the reports about them they have been receiving for years and actually apply the laws to this character and his little mafia. Image
At least, unlike the monument on the AI-generated picture that GL misleadingly posted 6 months ago, this stele has a physical existence. In fact, the square itself is not anywhere to be found, depite the announcement. Image

Zatímco běžní Němci byli "denacifikováni", museli si dávat pozor na ústa a pípnout nesmějí dodnes, henleinovci i banderovci mohli na Západě, i v západním Německu, dál relativně svobodně a nerušeně vyvíjet činnost jako chráněná zvěř.
