The Modern “Healthy Diet” Is The Same One They Fed Slaves

Obesity rates have been reaching breakneck pace in recent times, and the projections from here are all doom and gloom. 26% of adults in England are now classed as obese. By 2040, we’re estimated to reach 36%. This calamity has been happening in blissful disregard for any attempts put up by the NHS to get the nation back on track.

In fact, anyone with a pair of eyeballs can make the case that the introduction of the National Dietary Guidelines in 1983 made the situation worse. In what was essentially a copy and paste job from USA’s Dietary Guidelines of 1977, the nation was encouraged to treat animal fat like the plague and swap them for more carbs and more polyunsaturated fats.

Obesity surged upwards right from that point, and an emerging problem became a fact of life that everyone seems resigned to dealing with. The establishment’s vision of a healthy high carb diet only appeared to fan the flames.

dietary guidelines failure

Luckily, the NHS has since realised their mistake, and amended it with the EatWell Plate in 2006, which was then upgraded into the EatWell Guide in 2016. The issue was that the 1983 version didn’t recommend whole grains over refined grains.

None of this has done anything to arrest the momentum of obesity, but don’t let that get in the way of another classic tale of government competence. The crisis has been averted. The problem was that we’ve been refining the grains that used to be the beacon of health across countless civilisations stretching back to the dawn of agriculture.

Because nothing spells out optimal human health quite like following the diets that slaves and peasants were forced to eat. Traditionally-made whole grain bread, a sprinkle of some legumes, and a good smattering of fruits and vegetables to add a tinge of rainbow to a diet of love and freedom.

It did the job for the slaves, who always exemplified the pinnacle of health in society. It will do the same for us now.

COVID vaccine under new scrutiny after studies reveal possible health risks

Two large studies have put a spotlight on potential health risks of the COVID vaccine — but some experts urge caution when interpreting the findings.

Recent research has linked the vaccine to a higher risk of kidney injury, as well as certain respiratory infections.

A Korean study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases looked at how infectious diseases changed during and after the COVID-19

“While influenza-like illness dropped sharply during the early pandemic, upper respiratory infections and the common cold surged in 2023 and 2024, far above expected levels,” lead study author Jihun Song, Ph.D., from the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the Korea University College of Medicine, told Fox News Digital.

“Most strikingly, pertussis increased more than 40-fold compared to historical trends.”

“The key message is that respiratory infections in Korea dramatically shifted after the COVID-19 pandemic, and the patterns differ by disease.”

When the researchers looked at the impact of the COVID vaccine, they found that people who received four or more doses were less likely to get flu-like illnesses and whooping cough, but more likely to get common colds and other mild respiratory infections.

BLUF
They gaslit America for years, censored the truth, and rewrote intelligence reports to keep Trump from being proven right. Now the cover-up is unraveling, but half the country still believes the lie. PJ Media has been sounding the alarm on Deep State corruption from Day One, and we’re not backing down.

Kash Patel Drops Covid Origin Bombshell

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell during a recent interview with Glenn Beck, and anyone who has watched the federal bureaucracy sabotage President Trump at every turn will recognize the pattern instantly. Patel walked through how the Trump administration evaluated intelligence about the virus in the early days and how that assessment collided with a coordinated effort inside the bureaucracy and the media to protect China, shield Anthony Fauci, and deny Trump credit for getting it right.

Patel reminded Beck that the team briefed Trump based on the intelligence they had. Trump listened, weighed the facts, and acted. Then the usual suspects stepped in: “Then enter Fauci and the media. ‘No, no, no. The Chinese would never do this. It’s not about… No, no, it didn’t come from that.’ Then the wet bat thing came out and some other goofy whatever.”

We all remember what went down. Fauci played the patronizing scientist. The legacy media enforced the talking points. Big Tech censored any dissent. The establishment insisted the virus emerged from some Wuhan wet market and treated anyone who questioned that tale like a threat to democracy.

Patel then pointed out the bombshell that dropped just weeks ago. According to him, former CIA Director Gina Haspel “authorized six case officers and intelligence analysts to be paid off so that they would change their assessment on COVID originations.”

“That’s a CIA institutional decision to spend taxpayer dollars to lie to the world where COVID came from because it fit the narrative that Fauci and the media wanted out there, along with Gina Haspel, because she didn’t want Donald Trump to get the credit for reading the intel right and making the hard right decision,” he said.

Cocoa Extract Supplements Could Reduce Aging-Related Chronic Inflammation.

An extract made from cocoa beans may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing age-related inflammation, according to a recent study by an international team of researchers.

The scientists behind the study expanded on previous research suggesting that flavanol-rich food and drink, such as chocolate, significantly reduced death by cardiovascular disease.

Found in cocoa beans and other foods such as green tea, apples, and grapes, flavanols have long been associated with a variety of health improvements, including a role in reducing damage caused by excess inflammation.

Inflammation worsens with age in a process commonly referred to as ‘inflammaging‘, and is associated with a host of age-related health problems (from chronic pain to Alzheimer’s disease).

If cocoa supplements can reduce that inflammation, the potential benefits are significant.

“Our interest in cocoa extract and inflammaging started based on cocoa-related reductions in cardiovascular disease,” says Howard Sesso, an epidemiologist from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the US.

“We wanted to see whether multi-year cocoa extract supplementation versus a placebo could modulate inflammaging – and the data suggests it does.”

It looks like the Covid jabs were – and still are – killing people.

The mainstream media seem to be playing down – if not outright ignoring – a new article analyzing the impact of Covid vaccination on the general health of those receiving it.  It’s titled “Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Neuropsychiatric Conditions“, and can be found at the link.

Jeff Childers sums up what it means for us.  It’s a chilling scenario.

 

In the just-published peer-reviewed study, researchers analyzed over three decades of vaccine injury reports in the U.S. government’s own VAERS database, comparing covid mRNA vaccines to both flu shots and all other vaccines (combined). Using the CDC’s and FDA’s own method for detecting safety problems —called “Proportional Reporting Ratios” or PRRs— they found that reports of serious neuropsychiatric issues like brain fog, psychosis, dementia, and even suicidal behavior were not just higher, but dozens to hundreds of times more frequent after the covid shots.

If you thought people were crazy to take the jab, you might have been onto something.

The safety signal thresholds weren’t just crossed; they were blown out of the water, with some categories showing PRRs over four hundred, far above the FDA’s red-flag threshold of two. The study concluded these signals were sufficiently alarming to warrant immediate attention and further investigation— an understatement as big as the Statue of Liberty.

Among the most alarming findings, the study flagged massive spikes in reports of serious brain-related problems after covid vaccination. Compared to flu shots, reports of brain fog were up over 100-fold, psychosis nearly 80 times higher, and Alzheimer’s-type dementia more than 40 times more frequent. Even more chilling, reports related to suicidal thoughts or behaviors, including suicide attempts and self-harm, showed increases as high as 80-fold. One rare but deadly condition —cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a type of brain clot— was reported at rates over 400 times higher than with flu vaccines.

These numbers weren’t small deviations— they were sky-high red flags by the FDA’s own data and safety standards.

. . .

This doesn’t just crack the narrative— it blows a hole in the prison wall. If the system still held total control over scientific discourse, this paper would never have seen daylight. But it did. And that means the narrative guardians —the journals, peer-reviewers, and editors— are either losing their grip or starting to hedge, perhaps because suppressing credible dissent has become riskier than letting it through.

This study is more than a dead canary in the iatrogenic coal mine. It signals a critical turning point: what was once unspeakable is now printable, citable, and, if the trend continues, increasingly undeniable.

They didn’t make a movie about this but several episodes of Stargate SG-1 sure had a very similar plot i.e. sterilize the population

Czech Study Finds Covid Vaccine Linked to One-Third Drop in Fertility Among Women.

A steady stream of reports is now developing that suggests Covid vaccinations may indeed hurt fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

I reported on a rat study that clearly showed fertility was impacted after the animals were injected with mRNA Covid vaccines. A recently published study (not peer reviewed yet) looking at data from Israeli women found a substantially higher-than-expected number of eventual fetal losses associated with Covid vaccination during gestational weeks 8-13.

A newly published peer-reviewed study analyzing nationwide data from the Czech Republic has reported a significant association between Covid vaccination and reduced fertility rates in women of childbearing age. The study, which examined approximately 1.3 million women aged 18–39 between January 2021 and December 2023, found that women who received the Covid vaccine before conception had a substantially lower rate of successful conceptions (“SC”, i.e., pregnancies that resulted in live births) compared to their unvaccinated counterparts.

The article, entitled Rates of Successful Conceptions According to COVID-19 Vaccination Status: Data from the Czech Republic, began by noting that adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination on menstrual cycles have been documented, and there was limited population-level data on how vaccination might relate to birth rates. The researchers aimed to fill this gap by comparing SC rates between women vaccinated and unvaccinated against Covid before conception.

Researchers analyzed monthly data from January 2021 to December 2023, including vaccination status and live births for women in the target age group. SC rates per 1,000 women were calculated for both preconception-vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, as well as for the overall population.

The results were jaw-dropping:

  • By the end of 2021, about 70% of women in this age group were vaccinated.
  • From June 2021 onward, SC rates per 1,000 women were significantly lower for those vaccinated before conception than for unvaccinated women.
  • The SC rate for vaccinated women was much lower than expected based on their share of the population (i.e., a 33% or one-third decrease).
  • In 2022, SC rates stabilized, but remained approximately 1.5 times higher in unvaccinated women compared to vaccinated women
While the findings suggest a sustained association between covid vaccination prior to conception and lower SC rates, it must be noted that the study does not establish causality. Possible explanations include self-selection bias (e.g., women planning pregnancy may have avoided vaccination), but this does not fully account for the observed trends, as overall fertility rates also declined during the period.

The authors also point out additional limitations, including a lack of data on confounders like age, socioeconomic status, health, and fertility intentions.

That being said, the results are preliminary and hypothesis-generating, highlighting the need for further research into the potential effects of covid vaccination on human fertility. However, until these studies are conducted with no Big Pharma bias nor conducted in ways that are designed to promote the preferred political bias, all women should weigh these recent reports as part of their personal risk assessment.

Truly, personal risk assessment has never been more critical. Covid cases now resemble a bad cold in most healthy people. Women of childbearing age and parents of young girls should weigh seriously the real-world consequences of infection against the potential loss of fertility.

As Hot Air’s David Strom observes, pushing the vaccines when any of this was suspected is a crime against humanity.

How many women will be robbed of fertility? It is impossible to say. What we do know is that each and every one of them was lied to in a manner that we define as a crime against humanity. We also know that in cases asymptotically close to zero, the women did not benefit from the vaccine. They were at almost no risk from COVID, and now they have lost their future children.

The government-generated mass panic was evil. The forced closures of much of our economy were evil. The “comply or die” measures were evil. School closures were evil. Setting people against each other was evil. The forced vaccinations were evil. The lies were evil.

This study should be front-page news, and talked about 24/7/365 until people get it through their heads that the people who run our lives are not “experts,” but budding tyrants so drunk with power that they experimented on every person in the world without worrying about the damage they could do.

And over at Ace of Spades HQ, there is a reminder that any of us who tried to express these concerns were silenced.

People screamed that this entirely untested, experimental gene-slicing “vaccine therapy” could have serious consequences that were entirely unknown.

They were chased off the internet and subjected to government punishment.

“Trust us,” they said. “We’re the Experts and we’re here to play savior.”

 

My hope is that all the damage caused by the Covid pandemic policies can eventually be undone. Until then, I am bracing for more troubling findings from serious researchers willing to ask the hard questions and bravely present their analyses.

Cynical Publius

In the future, the current practice of mutilating young children to feed their parents’ egos will be looked upon with the same disgust as we now view the Tuskegee Experiment and the lobotomization of sexually active young women in bygone decades.

But at the moment there are still sentient beings–including, sadly, three SCOTUS justices–who believe that destroying the lives of young children is a worthy political cause.

Shameful.

Japan Releases Bombshell Vax vs. Unvax Data on 18 Million People

The data speaks for itself—and the 3 to 4 month spike is impossible to ignore.

A COVID vaccine database covering 18 million citizens has just been released for the first time.

After reviewing the data, a top professor warned: “The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die.”

The most terrifying finding was a deadly spike just 3 to 4 months after the final shot.

Let’s break down the data.

On June 15th, a group of brave Japanese truth seekers did what their government wouldn’t—they released a bombshell broadcast exposing vaccine data from over 18 million people.

Supreme Court Delivers a Crushing Blow to Trans Agenda

In a resounding victory for parental rights and child protection, the Supreme Court delivered a 6-3 decision Wednesday that upholds Tennessee’s ban on so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors. This landmark ruling represents a triumph of common sense over radical gender ideology that has been targeting America’s children for far too long.

As you could have guessed, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, while the conservative majority on the court correctly recognized what Tennessee and 24 other states have already figured out: Children deserve protection from irreversible medical experiments masquerading as healthcare.

The ACLU and its allies tried to dress up this radical agenda in constitutional language, claiming that banning these dangerous treatments for gender dysphoria while allowing the same medications for legitimate medical conditions somehow violated “equal protection.” What a joke. There’s nothing “equal” about subjecting confused children to experimental treatments that could sterilize them and cause lifelong health problems.

And thankfully, a majority of the court disagreed with the ACLU. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that such policy decisions are best left to voters and their elected officials, not the courts.

In her dissent, Sotomayor accused the court of retreating “from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most,” and “abandon[ing] transgender children and their families to political whims.”

The medical establishment’s endorsement of these treatments is hardly the slam-dunk argument the left thinks it is. The same organizations pushing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones have been captured by woke ideology and are more interested in political correctness than protecting children.

Meanwhile, as we’ve previously reported here at PJ Media, European countries that have been dealing with this gender madness longer than we have are now pulling back because they’re finally acknowledging what many of us have been saying all along: the risks far outweigh any supposed benefits. Various studies have supported this conclusion.

This Supreme Court decision is a massive win for the 25 states that have had the courage to stand up to the transgender lobby and put children’s welfare first. It’s a vindication of basic common sense in an age when saying that boys are boys and girls are girls can get you labeled a bigot.

Of course, the fight isn’t over. The radical left won’t give up its crusade to confuse and mutilate America’s children just because the Supreme Court dealt them a major blow. There are still battles to fight in schools, sports, and countless other institutions that this gender ideology has infected.

The Court has yet to address the broader questions of parental rights and the scope of state authority to protect children from harmful medical interventions. But Wednesday’s ruling is a crucial step toward restoring sanity to American healthcare and protecting our most vulnerable citizens from ideologically driven medical abuse.

I knew the Covid vaccine was dangerous, but after listening to this hearing- it’s so much worse than we thought. We heard from top experts who have been censored- until now. Here is what we know about the vaccine

First I want to point out that the panel was placed under oath. If they lied, it would be a federal crime.

First, @Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH® who is one of the most published people in the world on Covid vaccine myocarditis spoke. He saw warning signs as early as August of 2021 that the vaccines can cause myocarditis…

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart. Before Covid, Dr. McCullough saw two patients with this problem. Now there are over 1000 peer reviewed studies on Covid vaccine myocarditis.

Mere low Earth orbit in a space station? It’s too bad we haven’t taken up asteroid mining yet

What’s it like to be 70 years old in space? “All those little aches and pains heal up.”

Not many people celebrate their birthday by burning a fiery arc through the atmosphere, pulling 4.4gs in freefall back to planet Earth, thudding into the ground, and emptying their stomach on the steppes of Kazakhstan.

No one has ever done it on their 70th birthday.

Perhaps this is appropriate because NASA astronaut Don Pettit is a singular individual. His birthday is April 20, and when the Soyuz spacecraft carrying him landed at dawn in Kazakhstan, the calendar had turned over to that date. John Glenn, then 77, was older when he went to space. But no one as old as Pettit had spent as long as he had in orbit, 220 days, on a mission.

On Monday, a little more than a week after returning from orbit, Pettit met with reporters at Johnson Space Center. “It’s good to be back on planet Earth,” he said. “As much as I love exploring space, going into the frontier, and making observations, you do reach a time when it’s time to come home.”

Flying in space at 70 years old

Pettit first went into space at the age of 47 for his first of three long-duration missions to the International Space Station. Since then, he has flown a shorter shuttle mission and two more space station increments. All told, he has lived in space for 590 days, the third-most all-time among NASA astronauts.

“I’ve got a few creaks and groans in my body, but basically I feel the same as I did 20 years ago, and coming back to gravity is provocative,” he said.

After every one of his missions, Pettit said the readjustment to gravity for him has been a challenge. He added that the surprising thing about spaceflight is that it’s not so much your large muscles that ache, but the smaller ones.

“A week ago, I was on station, and I was doing really heavy squats, I was doing dead lifts, I could float around with the greatest of ease, even though I had no trapeze,” he said. “I was at the peak of my game. And then you come back to Earth, and it’s like, God, I can’t even get up from the floor anymore. It’s humbling. But it isn’t about the large muscle groups. It’s about the little, tiny muscles that everybody forgets about because they’re just there and they work. When you’re in weightlessness, these muscles don’t work anymore. And they take a six-month vacation until you come back to Earth. And now, all of a sudden, they start groaning and talking to you, and it takes a while to get all these little muscles tuned back up to being an Earthling.”

In terms of aging, Pettit said, like a lot of older people, he wakes up after a night sleeping on Earth with a sore shoulder or a stiff neck. That’s just part of the process. But microgravity took some of those aches and pains away.

“I love being in space,” he said. “When you’re sleeping, you’re just floating, and your body, all those little aches and pains heal up. You feel like you’re 30 years old again and free of pain, free of everything. So I love being on orbit. It’s a great place to be for me and my physiology.”

The space station isn’t old, either

Pettit has visited the space station on all four of his spaceflights. He lived there, near the beginning of the station’s lifetime, as part of Expedition 6 in 2002. More than two decades later he said the station is operating at full capacity, delivering on its promise of robust scientific research, studies of long-duration spaceflight, and much more. Asked if he felt nostalgic about the station coming to an end in 2030—NASA plans to de-orbit the facility at that time—Pettit said the laboratory should live on.

“I’m a firm believer we don’t need to dump the space station in the ocean at 2030 if we don’t want to,” he said. “If we as a society decided to keep [the] space station, we could keep it like a B-52. I mean, how many years is it they’ve been flying? It’ll be flying close to 100 years by the time the Air Force finally retires the B-52, and it’s basically the same airframe with the same aerodynamics, but everything else is new. There’s no limit to what we can do to [the] space station, except for our will to keep refurbishing it and having the funding necessary.”

And maybe that’s because he wants to go back. Pettit did not rule out flying into space again. For now, he wants to take a few weeks to allow his body time to re-adjust to gravity. He wants to enjoy some time with his family. But soon, he knows, space will start to call to him again.

“I call it the explorer’s paradox,” he said. “When you’re back in civilization, you want to be out there wherever your wilderness happens to be; and then when you’re in your wilderness, it’s like, wow, I need to be back with my family. I think it’s probably gone on for as long as humanity has had people who go off into the wilderness. When the flight docs say I’m ready to go back, I’m ready to do it. And I know John Glenn flew at age 76, something like that, and I’m only 70, so I’ve got a few more good years left. I could see getting another flight or two in before I’m ready to hang up my rocket nozzles.”

Bill to bar giving guns to certain mental health patients stalls until 2026

A bill that would criminalize knowingly giving firearms to someone who recently received inpatient mental health treatment was pushed to 2026 on Wednesday  amid questions about its language.

Rep. Shaundelle Brooks, a Hermitage Democrat, named the bill “Akilah’s Law” in honor of her son Akilah Dasilva, who was killed in a mass shooting at a Nashville Waffle House in 2018.

The shooter, Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois, had a history of schizophrenia and delusions. Prior to the shooting, Illinois State Police had revoked his firearm owner identification card, forcing him to surrender his guns to his father. His father then returned the guns to Reinking, breaking Illinois state law.

Tennessee bars giving firearms to juveniles or intoxicated people, but not those who have been committed for mental health evaluation.

Brooks said her bill intends to bring Tennessee in line with the Illinois law that prohibits someone from giving or selling a firearm to a person who has been a patient in a mental health institution within five years.

Brooks’ bill passed the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee in late March, but questions over the bill’s scope and language arose in the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 8. 

Sen. Paul Rose, a Southwest Tennessee Republican, asked for clarity on what the bill defines as a “mental health institution” and what it means to be “admitted.” Rose questioned whether a person who makes routine visits to a mental health provider for medication would be considered a patient of a mental health institution under the bill’s definition.

The bill’s Senate sponsor, Memphis Democrat Raumesh Akbari, said she did not believe the bill would apply in that case.

Elliot Pinsly, president and CEO of the Behavioral Health Foundation, said the way the legislation is written could have a “chilling effect on people’s willingness to seek mental health treatment in Tennessee.” Pinsly, a licensed clinical social worker, founded the policy-focused nonprofit in 2020.

“The actual bill makes it a crime punishable by up to one year imprisonment to sell, give or otherwise transfer a firearm to a person who has received just about any kind of mental health care or addiction treatment in the past five years, voluntary or involuntary, outpatient or inpatient,” Pinsly said.

Facing uncertainty on the outcome of a committee vote, Akbari chose to move the bill to the general subcommittee, essentially putting it on ice until it can be resurrected in 2026.

“I look forward to Representative Brooks continuing to move this through the House … I will be working with all members on this committee so that we can reach a solution so we can really protect folks in Tennessee,” Akbari said.
