These are the blackened lungs of a 52-year-old man who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years.

ERIC HUNLEY: Legal Friday, June 28, 2024

DAVE BENNER: The Chevron doctrine—which forced federal courts to defer all interpretive regulatory authority to executive bureaucracies since 1984—has been overruled by SCOTUS in a 6-3 opinion.

JULIE KELLY: In a massive victory for J6 political prisoners and an unprecedented defeat for the corrupt Biden/Garland/Monaco/Graves DOJ, SCOTUS has overturned the DOJ's use of 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding, in J6 cases

In a massive victory for J6 political prisoners and an unprecedented defeat for the corrupt Biden/Garland/Monaco/Graves DOJ, SCOTUS has overturned the DOJ's use of 1512(c)(2), obstruction of an official proceeding, in J6 cases.

THIS MEANS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS UNLAWFULLY PROSECUTED 350+ AMERICANS FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN JANUARY 6--A FLAGRANT ABUSE OF THE LAW TO PUNISH THOSE WHO PROTESTED BIDEN'S ELECTION AND TO CRIMINALIZE POLITICAL DISSENT.

NASA distributed moon rocks from the first and other "moon" missions to 100 countries. Someone analyzed all the specimens, they're all petrified wood they plucked from the desert in Arizona.

OWEN BENJAMIN: The grapes are all from foreign countries, shipped here using globalism, NAFTA, the dollar, everything you claim to hate is right here in this grocery store

Why am I making this video?  Because when I garden and show  people homestead sometimes the reaction is that I run away, and that I'm not doing what I have to do to affect political change when the reality is it's the exact opposite. My kale never migrant hands; it's grown in my home, requires no carbon to transport, no trade routes, no international agreements, no Chinese manufacturing.  Even the packaging of the lettuce in the organic section is plastic.  That was definitely made in a Chinese factory using petroleum, all right.  So maybe this will help explain what I'm talking about.  But gardening, homesteading, planting your own food, fruit trees, when I buy a fruit tree some of them can be expensive, $199, but that money goes into my community.  It's grown in a nursery 50 Mi away sold any gardening place right down my street that money which is my labor goes into my community and then I own the supply chain I own the supply chain of fruit which would end Mass migration now you might say well you're just one man it's all about voting if

ALEX CLARK: Whole Foods and Sprouts are upcharging customers under the impression they’re getting grassfed organic chicken and beef and selling meat from Tyson and Cargill, not to mention still serving a seed oil-infested hot bar.

What’s the solution? Know your local regenerative and organic farmers. Ask them hard questions. Build a relationship. Collapse Big Food. --Alex Clark
Whole Foods and Sprouts are upcharging customers under the impression they’re getting grassfed organic chicken and beef. The curtain has been pulled back and they’re selling meat from Tyson and Cargill, not to mention still serving a seed oil-infested hot bar. Food & Wine (2017): According to a Bloomberg report, a growing percentage of Whole Foods' poultry and beef is now sourced from mega-sized producers, including Perdue and Tyson-owned brands. One way this occurs is that after the products are delivered to Whole Foods for final processing, the company packages the chicken under the 365 Everyday Value label and sells it in its stores, despite being available for a lower cost at other supermarkets. Additionally, while Whole Foods only sells meat that is certified as Step 1 or higher by the Global Animal Partnership (GAP), the company sources some of its beef from Meyer Natural Angus, which processes its meat in a Cargill facility in Colorado that also processes GAP-uncertified cattle simultaneously, albeit separately. Pictured today: screenshots between Jamieanneaesthetics and Sprouts, with them admitting their chicken is just Tyson. What’s the solution? Know your local regenerative and organic farmers. Ask them hard questions. Build a relationship. Collapse Big Food.

Why should a health conscious customer base continue shopping with these companies if they’re just becoming expensive Walmart? 

AARON SIRI: [Peter Marks] sat, as I would expect, as a partner with Pfizer, defending them from their misconduct. He should have been outraged. He should have said, "Why didn't you report this?" irrespective of why you thought this was related. You had an obligation to tell us of all injuries"

Though Dr. Peter Marks concedes that the COVID-19 vaccine causes a 5-fold increase of myocarditis in children, he still pushes the vaccines.

PETER ST ONGE: [2nd mortgages] effectively turns a house into a credit card; in fact, one that is government-subsidized by Freddie Mac

New home sales are tumbling yet home prices just hit a fresh all-time record, pretty much on brand for this miracle economy of ours where nothing is selling but it's all really expensive.  The numbers come from the National Association of Realtors who report that the median existing home price in May was a record $419,000, up nearly 6% from last year.  Meanwhile, sales of existing homes plunged to just 4.1 million; that's down 6% on the quarter and down 40% since Joe Biden took office.  What's crashing the number of sales, of course, is interest rates, which at 7.5% are putting houses out of reach you need to make six figures to qualify for a starter home and your mortgage will be half your income.  What makes this interesting is that crashing sales were supposed to bring prices back to earth after the pandemic bubble.  They have not for the simple reason that rates went up so fast that it's locked people in.  They can't afford a replacement house; after all, maybe your condo went up 40%, but that starter house also went up 40%.  So even with the gains you cannot afford to upgrade at 7.5% mortgage unless you are retiring and moving to Costa Rica.  So I mentioned recent videos, this is all done a number on the young and working class.  It means pretty much the only buyers are people who need to: they got a job at a new city, or maybe they lost their job and are moving down to renting.  For everybody else, young families, empty nesters, they are locked in. 

1:33. Meanwhile, of course, inflation keeps marching up driving up house prices.  It's a roughly centuries-long trend that houses move up almost in lockstep with inflation.  That means for all those people waiting for the pandemic housing bubble to burst, it may never burst.  Inflation will just push the prices up to meet it.  In fact, house prices could take another jump, because ZeroHedge reports that government-owned mortgage bundler Freddie Mac, which already owes roughly three trillion dollars worth of mortgages, just applied to deal in second mortgages.  Now, a second mortgage is when you take a fresh loan out to take money out of your house.  The problem is that this effectively turns a house into a credit card; in fact, one that is government-subsidized by Freddie Mac.  That does two things: that drives house prices even higher because a credit card is worth more than frozen equity; worse, it encourages people to drain every last dime out of their house.  That leaves them right on the edge of default when a recession or just a layoff does hit them.  We saw that in 2008 when millions of owners bailed on their houses because they owed more than it was worth.  With subsidized second mortgages, if you are smart you should owe more than your house is worth; it's a cheap loan.  

2:47. For 50 years, Washington has done everything possible to pump up house prices as a kind of upper-middle-class welfare scheme that buys votes, pays the affluent, but fleeces the have-nots.  Now we've got a world of rich boomers stepping over the young, who are not only giving up on starting a family, they're losing faith in the entire system, doom spending their way to oblivion.  In terms of what is next, if you own a house here comes another jackpot; if not, it is time to start driving for Uber.

Jesse Gelsinger Case, 1999 

17-year-old Jesse Gelsinger suffered from the genetic metabolic disease called orinthe transcarbamylase OTC deficiency this prevents the body from breaking down ammonia a metabolic waste product unless a person's diet is immediately adjusted and monitored throughout their life they will die soon after birth.

Although gel singer had controlled his OTC well he volunteered for a genetic therapy experiment in hopes of helping infants with a more severe form of the metabolic disorder he had a negative reaction to the treatment caused by severe immune response to the virus Vector used to deliver the corrective gene and died.

Three ethical issues with regard to gene therapy emerge from the Gelsinger case one should a relatively healthy adult volunteer with OTC have been used as a volunteer rather than newborns that were very sick too Gelsinger was told that the treatment was relatively safe however it emerged that past research subjects and experimental animals had become sick from the treatment was there adequate informed consent with regard to the risks three the lead doctor and institution had financial interest in the development of the treatment that was used if it had been successful they would have been well positioned to make a lot of money should researchers and research Institutes have a stake in clinical trials?

Wikipedia provides context on Jesse Gelsinger, 

Jesse Gelsinger (June 18, 1981 – September 17, 1999) was the first person publicly identified as having died in a clinical trial for gene therapy. Gelsinger suffered from ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, an X-linked genetic disease of the liver, the symptoms of which include an inability to metabolize ammonia – a byproduct of protein breakdown. The disease is usually fatal at birth, but Gelsinger had a milder form of the disease, in which the ornithine transcarbamylase gene is mutated in only part of the patient's cells, a condition known as somatic mosaicism. As his deficiency was partial, Gelsinger managed to survive on a restricted diet and special medications.

AARON SIRI: "Everybody here is saying they're safe...Then there should be no reason to continue giving those companies the immunity to liability for injuries if they are safe, as has been advocated . . ."

REPORT: Julian Assange spent $500k for his flight out of the UK to avoid landing on the American homeland after he was released from prison.

REPORT: Julian Assange spent $500k for his flight out of the UK to avoid landing on the American homeland after he was released from prison. Assange will instead be landing on a remote U.S. island where he will plead guilty to the charges. The island is the U.S. territory of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, about 1,800 miles from Australia. “He has to front up to charges that have been brought under U.S. law," said a professor at the University of Sydney's law school. Assange will have the U.S. federal court hearing on Wednesday morning on the remote island. His wife suggested the $500k flight was paid for in debt so they will likely launch a fundraising campaign to pay it off.  

Assange is headed for Australia where he will reunite with his family. 

PETER ST ONGE: one study by Cambridge University found that regulations have added between $6,000 and $7,000 to the cost of a car and have wiped out cheaper models altogether.

A speeding freight train of regulations is coming that will gut small businesses while climate mandates make pretty much everything that plugs in suck.  A new study by the Job Creators Network estimates that 1.2 trillion dollars in new regulations are about to hit Americans courtesy of Joe Biden; that would be on top of the estimated 1.9 trillion dollars we already lose to regulations.  Per household, that comes to $10,000 in new regulations on top of the $15,000 in regulations we already pay every year.  Put differently, 20 cents on the dollar you earn got snagged by regulatory costs; you never saw it.  Taxes are on top of that.  The new rules run the gamut from emissions to staffing and diversity to reporting requirements for global warming.  There are manufacturing restrictions on pretty much everything in your house.  So dishwashers, water heaters, ceiling fans, light bulbs, gas stoves, washing machines, and, of course, air conditioners.  One study by the Alliance for Consumers estimates the new rules will increase the cost of a washing machine by $200, a furnace by $500, and the cost of refilling your air conditioner by over $1,000; they could push some products, like gas stoves, out of existence altogether.  Now all of that is on top of existing regulations that already pushed all these things up by thousands.  For example, one study by Cambridge University found that regulations have added between $6,000 and $7,000 to the cost of a car and have wiped out cheaper models altogether.  Of course, none of that is a problem for the 1%.  They will still drive Bentleys and crank the heat up in winter, and it's a positive bonanza for the huge companies whose donations bought all of those lovely regulations.  As for the rest of us, wear another sweater and take the bus.  Beyond the crap products, this flood of regulations is driving tens of thousands of factories and businesses overseas.  To illustrate, the National Association of Manufacturers estimates that it currently costs $30,000 in Regulatory Compliance alone for every manufacturing worker.  For small manufacturers, the mom-and-pop, that actually comes to $50,000 in regulatory costs.  They can't spread it out over as many workers, so that is literally more than the salary and that goes to Regulatory Compliance alone.  Upcoming rules are targeting precisely these small businesses, most notoriously on climate disclosure, climate change procurement, basically locking small companies out of selling to the federal government, and a  "transparency rule on climate that would hit 11 million small firms with nearly 100 billion dollars in fresh costs."  Many of course will just give up and close shop.  The rules are part of 5,300 rules imposed since Obama.  Trump had briefly reversed the tide.  Remember he took out two regulations for every new one but Joe Biden's handlers have doubled down even out doing the famously destructive Obama in terms of job-crushing regulations that make everything you buy suck.  There is a rate of hope in an upcoming Supreme Court decision, called Loper V Raimondo, brought by a fishing boat that was forced to pay $700 a day for regulator ride-alongs.  If the decision comes in favor of the Fishers, it could dramatically rein in the federal rule Leviathan, obliging major rules to actually go through Congress instead of auto-spawning in the Deep State.  If not, the regulatory strangle will continue trillion by trillion until your jobs in China you furnished are just for show and you need a mortgage to buy a car made of tin cans.

TEXAS: Thanks to the retail pharmacy lobby, Texas is one of 5 states that doesn’t allow MDs to dispense medications.

Talk about your lone star.  

I could not imagine practicing medicine in 2024.

"You're getting very loud with me, and you're a professional just like I am."  Who is loud?  A bit presumptuous, eh, lady?  Bowden was recommending some workarounds, and the pharmacist gets offended, loud, and defensive?  She relies on the mutual standing of professionalism like it's the perfect excuse to not solve the problem.  Does "professionalism" really mean "representin'"?  O, Incompetence! 

DR. JANE RUBY: The same satanic scumbags that want to ensure full-term abortions are also trying to get 4 shots called vaccines into fetus prior to birth!

Just out of principle, everyone should absolutely reject any opinion, any procedure, any diagnosis from anyone working inside the medical complex.   It used to be that pediatricians would recommend Hepatitis B shots for kids on their 2nd day of life.  Now, they're recommending vaccines for pregnant mothers, so that the kids are injected with poisons before they're even born.  Dear God.
