MINNESOTA VETERANS - THIS DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION People from all across Minnesota have been flooding my inbox and DMs with the same video, begging me to shine a light on what is allegedly happening in Kandiyohi County. The claims circulating are deeply disturbing: Kandiyohi County Administrator Kelsey Baker is allegedly moving to convert space inside the County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) - the very office that exists solely to serve those who served - into a Muslim prayer room. Veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of whom carry PTSD from combat against jihadist forces, would allegedly be forced to share that sacred space with Islamic prayer. The video making the rounds expresses raw fury over this, correctly noting that a veterans’ office is not a place for Islamic conversion, especially not on the taxpayer dime. If these allegations are true, it is horrific. It is a slap in the face to every man and woman who bled for this country. A county building dedicated to veterans should remain dedicated to veterans - full stop. I am not stating these claims as fact. I am stating what is being widely alleged and shared by Minnesota veterans and residents. I want to verify whether this is true. If you have firsthand information, documents, emails, meeting notes, recordings, or any additional details about plans involving the Kandiyohi County CVSO and a prayer space, please send them to me immediately. Tomorrow I will be reaching out to the appropriate parties - County Administrator Kelsey Baker, the Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners, the Veterans Service Officers, and any other relevant officials - for official answers and clarification. Veterans deserve an office that serves them. Not one that is allegedly being repurposed. Minnesota deserves transparency.

This will not be ignored. 

AMY MEK: Even more damning: Mateen’s own father, Seddique Mateen, was a longtime FBI confidential informant from 2005 through June 2016, the month of the massacre. After the attack, receipts for money transfers from the father to Turkey and Afghanistan were found, and the FBI opened an investigation on him.

"The FBI does put these jihadis on their radar."
Yes, and then FBI protects them *by design (we call it "PC," etc., but whatever it's called, it's *by design). Some, naturally/Islamically, will go full jihad. That's the design. There are other designs. Our gov chose this one. https://t.co/qVvKF1aBjU

Pay Attention America - I need you to learn this…. Below is an Interesting question. Someone just asked why the FBI never interviewed the Orlando nightclub Islamic shooter or the San Bernardino jihadi terror couple. They did!! Omar Mateen, the Pulse jihadi who murdered 49 people while pledging allegiance to ISIS, was investigated by the FBI twice. In 2013, after coworkers reported him claiming ties to Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah and talking about dying as a martyr, the FBI ran a 10-month investigation. They interviewed him two times. They used confidential informants. They recorded his calls. They put him on the terror watchlist. Then they closed the case in March 2014, deciding he wasn’t a threat. In 2014 they opened a second investigation because of his connection to Moner Abusalha, the first American suicide bomber in Syria. Same mosque. They closed that one too. You can’t make this level of failure up. Even more damning: Mateen’s own father, Seddique Mateen, was a longtime FBI confidential informant from 2005 through June 2016, the month of the massacre. Agents consulted the father while assessing whether the son was a threat. After the attack, receipts for money transfers from the father to Turkey and Afghanistan were found, and the FBI opened an investigation on him. I learned all of this during in court during the trial of Mateen’s widow. Now let’s discuss California…. San Bernardino’s Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were terrorist in the waiting for years, discussing jihad and martyrdom long before they slaughtered 14 people. Farook had contacts with people under FBI investigation and was in the social orbit of a disrupted Southern California jihad cell. You would think that this would make the FBI pay close attention. Neighbors even noticed suspicious activity, multiple Middle Eastern men coming and going from the house, but in interviews they admitted to deliberately chosing not to report it because they did not want to be accused of racial profiling or Islamophobia. (You can thank CAIR for making people terrified to speak out) Malik went through U.S. visa interviews. The ideology was still missed. So the promise of this question is not actually correct. The FBI does put these jihadis on their radar. Then political correctness, risk-aversion, and a refusal to treat Islamic ideology as the actual threat lead them to close the files. Americans die. That’s the documented record. Let’s not forget there were others, the FBI had also spoken to these terrorist before they launched their attacks…. Nidal Hasan – Fort Hood, Texas – 13 killed – 2009 Tamerlan Tsarnaev – Boston Marathon – 3 killed – 2013 Esteban Santiago – Fort Lauderdale Airport – 5 killed – 2017 Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad (Carlos Bledsoe) – Little Rock recruiting station – 1 killed – 2009 But honestly NONE of this is surprising. They close these cases because the FBI was deliberately stripped of its ability to understand the ISLAMIC threat. Under the Obama administration, with Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller, the bureau purged hundreds of pages of its own counterterrorism training materials on Islam, jihad, and related ideology after pressure from groups including Hamas-linked CAIR. Accurate instruction on the doctrinal drivers of the violence was labeled “offensive,” “stereotypical,” or imprecise and removed. To this day, the full details of exactly what was purged and the identities of the outside “subject matter experts” who helped decide what agents were no longer allowed to learn have never been fully released. Although when I testified in Congress and people showed up to harass me, I believe one of those people was present, who is behind the purge. When you gut the institution of the knowledge required to recognize the enemy, closing cases on known jihadis becomes the predictable result.

Sadly, to this day this continues…. 

DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: And so when you're eating carbs, you are going to breed for and select for the bacteria that actually rot your teeth.

You eat anything that rots your teeth, that's the wrong thing.  Animals in the wild don't have dentists.  The bacteria in your mouth that should be there, your oral biome, if you're eating something that cultivates the wrong oral biome that rots your teeth, you are eating the wrong thing by definition.  Your mouth health, your oral health, is a window to your overall health and especially your cardiovascular health.  And so when you're eating carbs, you are going to breed for and select for the bacteria that actually rot your teeth. So we know that carbs are not part of our biological diet because of that fact. 

DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: it's just that high insulin suppresses autophagy and it suppresses all these other functions in your body. It suppresses the formation of ketones, forcing energy into cells; it doesn't allow them to come out of cells.

When you fast you just stop eating but you also just stop eating carbs.  And then your insulin comes down and then you start opening up your metabolism.  So the thing is that insulin doesn't just affect sugar metabolism and your blood sugar levels even though the American Diabetes Association would like you to think that because they say, "your diabetes patience oh they don't have to restrict carbs.  Just make sure they take enough insulin so they keep their blood sugar down because blood sugar being high is actually directly damaging it's to you and it's really just harmful to your body.  That's why you need your blood sugar levels down.  It's very important to your body to keep it down.  That's why it raises your insulin.  So basically it's toxic to your body over a certain point. Your body responds to this toxin, the high blood sugar being a toxin, by trying to detoxify it by raising your insulin to get it down.  But the problem is insulin affects over 100 different processes in your body, like autophagy.  So it's not the "not eating" that's doing it, it's just that high insulin suppresses autophagy and it suppresses all these other functions in your body.  It suppresses the formation of ketones, forcing energy into cells; it doesn't allow them to come out of cells.  So when your insulin level is up, you can't start using your fat as energy.

Imagine going into a hospital for a knee replacement and never walking out. That’s exactly what happened to Glenda Dorton - instead of being administered the correct anesthesia, she was given potassium and is now paralyzed from the chest down. The hospital CEO was born and trained in India. She earned her medical degree (MBBS) from Seth G.S. Medical College / King Edward Memorial Hospital in Mumbai. Her boss, the system CEO was also born in India - no word yet on the anesthesiologist or pharmacist who apparently mixed the wrong drugs. Regardless, use of locally compounded drugs in this instance are 100% against the known standard - only single use ampules with original labeling are permitted for this procedure. To protect izzat - the CEO, Dr. Shubhada Jagasia blames the pharmacy. Choose your doctor wisely.

Big Pharma has not cured a common chronic disease in fifty years, and its own analysts have put the reason in writing. Insulin, 1922. Injected daily, for life. Not a cure. Levothyroxine, 1927. Swallowed every morning, for life. Not a cure. Metformin, 1958. Still the opening prescription for type 2 diabetes. Not a cure. Salbutamol, 1969. Still the blue inhaler in every schoolbag in Britain. Not a cure. Statins, 1987. Stop taking them and the number is back inside a month. Not a cure. SSRIs, 1987. Now around eight million people in England, climbing every year. Not a cure. Omeprazole, 1988. Handed out for reflux with no end date attached. Not a cure. The appetite injection, 2021. Works while you inject. Stops when you stop. Not a cure. Against that, the cures. Scurvy: two sailors and some citrus, 1747. Cured. Smallpox: a milkmaid's arm, 1796. Gone from the earth by 1980. Beriberi: barley put back into the naval ration, 1884. Cured. Pellagra: meat, milk and eggs, 1915. Cured. Rickets: cod liver oil and sunlight, 1922. Cured. Penicillin: a mould on a windowsill, 1928. Cured. Every cure on that list came out of food, dirt, sunlight or an accident, and not one of them made a shareholder rich. Then in 2015 somebody did it properly. Gilead released a hepatitis C treatment that cured over ninety per cent of patients, and American sales hit 12.5 billion dollars. By 2018 those sales were under four billion, because the patients had been cured and had stopped being patients. On the tenth of April that year a Goldman Sachs analyst put a note out to biotech clients asking "Is curing patients a sustainable business model?" The note answered itself in the detail. Gilead had exhausted its pool of treatable people. Nobody leaked that. It went out to paying clients as ordinary arithmetic. Gilead cured people and the market treated it as a cautionary tale, and every board in the industry was reading over its shoulder.

Nobody has ever been discharged from a statin.

The old consultant class still thinks they can keep the base with tax cuts, judges, and “strong on the border” messaging while quietly protecting the labor supply that donors want. That trade used to work. It no longer does. RINOs will collect their short-term checks. They will lose the country. And they will lose the only generation of voters who still show up with energy. Mass deportations are not a policy preference anymore. They are the loyalty test. If the party fails this test, the young leave. When the young leave, the party dies of demographic math. The ones who understand this will inherit the future of the right. The ones who don’t will be remembered as the last generation of Republicans who sold the country for consulting fees. Mass deportations are the key.

GWOT, Global War on Terror.  

DIANA WEST: Bolshevik justice is when all non-Reds are always guilty. This 1960s iteration, then, follows from the siege and sacking of the Graeco-Judeo-Roman-Western justice system

Herbert Marcuse, Father of 21st Century American "Justice," & His Proximity to the KGB by Diana W

Read on Substack

Ours, then, has been a revolution — or, chillingly, a pre-revolution with the revolution yet to come — by Marxist subversion, which, while seemingly bloodless, has put us on the path to cultural genocide.  --Diana West

from Diana West,

The paragraph outlined in red (above) comes from “Repressive Tolerance,” Marcuse’s contribution to the 1965 essay collection, A Critique of Pure Tolerance. “Repressive tolerance” is a concept known earlier in the 20th century as “Bolshevik justice” — as in: Bolshevik justice is when all non-Reds are always guilty. This 1960s iteration, then, follows from the siege and sacking of the Graeco-Judeo-Roman-Western justice system that would be launched in violent revolutions by Marx’s leading practitioners, Lenin, Stalin and Mao.

But how could such a revolution in justice (and everything else) have happened here? We didn’t undergo a violent revolution as Russia and China did. However, despite stalwart anti-communist domestic opposition, we, as a government, did “recognize” these criminal, murderous regimes, thereby lending legitimacy to these purveyors of the worst crimes against humanity, all of which began with the criminal ideology of Marxism. Ours, then, has been a revolution — or, chillingly, a pre-revolution with the revolution yet to come — by Marxist subversion, which, while seemingly bloodless, has put us on the path to cultural genocide.

Let’s take another look at how it was that our government legitimized and thus advanced Marxism here through “recognition” of Marxist revolution there. This all goes back to November 16, 1933, which is presented in American Betrayal as the most important date in US history no one ever heard of. This was when FDR “recognized” the murderous Bolshevik dictatorship in Moscow (in the final days of Stalin’s state-engineered terror famine in the Ukraine, which killed between 6 and 15 million people on, as Solzhenitsyn put it, the edge of Europe), thus reversing the moral, law-upholding national security policy of the four previous presidents and six secretaries of state. It also “opened the floodgates,” as they say, on what would became a mass-influx of Communist/Socialists into the US government and key institutions, a Marxist tidal wave from which we, as a constitutional republic, have never recovered.

Among the most hardcore to pretend to go to work in those days for Uncle Sam was the irrepressibly repressively tolerant Marcuse, along with other members of the so-called “Frankfurt School,” which included Marxist operatives masquerading as “scholars” (including master spy Richard Sorge) assembled by Lenin and his Cheka henchmen in the early 1920s to make a stealth-war of subversion against everything We, the People, in the West held dear. In essence, at heart, in purpose, this was all a part of the international Communist conspiracy. Which reminds me: Who would have thought they could maintain operational secrecy with the simple addition of scare-quotes?

As the sword and shield of the Marxist state, the KGB could never have been far removed from any of this. And, of course, it wasn’t. See how close it came to Marcuse, himself — and intertwined itself throughout our government — as noted in just the few excerpts to follow from American Betrayal.

The section in question picks up in the 3rd para below with the sentence: “On April 3, 1943…

Most people cannot read a steak, which is why they keep buying the wrong one. Read it in three places, and read it in this order. The cap. That thick band of pale fat curving round the outside edge, running the full length of this one. Buy it for that alone. As it renders it bastes the meat from the outside in, and if the pan is hot enough it crisps into something close to crackling. It is also the first thing a nervous shopper asks the butcher to cut away, which is how a good steak gets ruined before it leaves the counter. The seams. Those wide white rivers running through the middle, dividing one muscle from the next. That is the spinalis separating from the eye, and the spinalis is the finest piece of beef on the animal. Cut it away, eat it on its own, and you will understand why butchers quietly keep that bit for themselves. The marbling. The fine web threaded all the way through the red, like frost on a window in January. That fat sits inside the muscle, so it cannot be trimmed off and it cannot leak away. It melts as the steak cooks, from within, and it is the entire reason a ribeye is juicy while a fillet is merely polite. Flavour lives in the fat. Not in the protein, not in the sear. Almost every aroma compound your nose picks up when beef hits a hot pan comes out of the lipid, which is precisely why a lean cut tastes of very little and needs a sauce sent in to rescue it. Fat is where the vitamins are. A, D, E and K2 will not dissolve in water and they do not travel in lean muscle. Trim the fat and the delivery system goes in the bin with it. Fat is where the fullness comes from. It is what shuts appetite down and keeps it down, which is why a lean meal leaves you rummaging two hours later and a fatty one does not. Fat is what keeps everything moving. It carries the bile, it lines the tract, it is the reason a fatty meal goes through you like it was designed to. Fat is the energy. Nine calories a gram against four, burning clean, no spike, no crash, no dip at three in the afternoon. Fat is the fabric. Every cell membrane you own, the sheath on every nerve, sixty per cent of your brain by dry weight. This one has all three markers. Cap on, seams open, web running edge to edge. Most of what sits in a supermarket chiller has a shaved cap, thin seams and almost nothing running through the middle. Even a ribeye this good comes in at about 1.2 grams of fat to 1 of protein, which is barely over the line. So finish it in butter anyway. Fifty grams in the pan at the end, off the heat, spooned over until the whole thing is glossy.  

Then eat it slowly, because you will not want anything else for the rest of the day, and that is the point.
