PIERCE COUNTY SHERIFF KEITH SWANK: I don't recognize your Authority to impose these controls over me, and when you try to remove me from Office thousands of Pierce County residents will surround the County's City Building in downtown Tacoma and will not allow that to happen.

Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank is the be exemplary law officer.

Some of my colleagues naively believe that they can come here and reason with you.  They don't understand what's at stake here.  They don't understand you like I do.  You're going to pass this qualification bill for law enforcement but you won't hold yourselves accountable.  Therefore, I propose everyone who runs for an elected office go through a background check, a social media review, a polygraph, a psychological test, but Democrats you want to agree to that because you have convicted felons who are elected officials here.  I represent almost a million people, more than all of you combined here, many more people.  I was an elected Chief of Police.  Being Sheriff of Pierce County is much more than police work.  Citizens reach out to me all the time regarding overreach of the government by you.  Some say they finally have a voice because of me, and you want to silence it because I said transgender women are men.  I said the truth. You want to give unelected bureaucracy the ability to decertify me and remove me from elected office because you don't agree with my speech.  Just for the record, my deputies don't wear masks but once you pass this law that they can't, I will not only allow them but I will encourage them to do so just to see what you do.  I don't recognize your Authority to impose these controls over me, and when you try to remove me from Office thousands of Pierce County residents will surround the County's City Building in downtown Tacoma and will not allow that to happen.  I hope it doesn't come to that, but I and they are prepared.  Finally, anyone who votes for this will not have an audience with this Sheriff.

JOHN GUANDOLO: I would argue that that's why we lost wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. It's why the US government wrote constitutions for Iraq and Afghanistan making . . . Sharia was the law of the land

6:48.  The enemy we were fighting and I'll just start with Al-Qaeda at the time stated unequivocally that what they were doing they were waging Jihad in order to establish a caliphate under Sharia, Islamic law Allah's Divine Law and Sharia was the doctrine for which they were fighting and the doctor and it was the law that they seek to impose on the entire Earth. American war fighting Doctrine requires us to analyze an enemy based on who they say they are and why they're fighting.  And a look a and a look and intellectual and practical we're fighting review of normative Islamic law reveals that in fact Islamic law exists it's real law it has real consequences and in fact Al Qaeda and Isis and Hezbollah are actually following it and it's consistent with what is taught to 10-year-old Muslim children in US Islamic schools.  So that creates a different problem.  If we say that the problem has nothing to do with Islam then we're literally telling the entire War fighting apparatus of the US government the entire intelligence community don't look for the answer where the answer resides and I would argue that that's why we lost wars in Afghanistan Iraq and Syria it's why the US government wrote constitutions for Iraq and Afghanistan making sure Sharia was the law of the land because we had no and I believe we still don't have a good strategic understanding of what it is and its role.  

So what I've been doing both inside and outside the government is training national, state, and local officials and citizens about, not just that, but the networks that exist because currently the Islamic movement and the communist movement are operating seamlessly at the local level across the United States.  And from their perspective, from the enemy's perspective, they're in the final stages and there seems to be nothing in their way to Victory, and I would concur with that assessment.  

9:20.  We are looking at it from almost exclusively a kinetic perspective and yet the war they're waging against the United States is primarily being done overall in the information Warfare battle space.  But it's counterintelligence, espionage, subversion, economic Warfare, and the like, and we're not addressing it strategically or operationally at those levels and when we do we have a pretty underwhelming effect on the enemy.  

10:10.  I encourage questions I encourage push back I've been doing this a long time and I find the discussion is much more fruitful if you don't hold back because if you do hold back and you get off the call and just Grumble about something that's not doing you or anybody else on this call any good from what Cindy and I understand about STARRS, I don't think that's going to be a problem.  I just wanted to say that out loud. 

SAMA HOOLE: The "eat plants for antioxidants" narrative ignores that your body makes better antioxidants when you eat meat. But that doesn't sell blueberries.

Your body produces its own antioxidants:

- Glutathione (master antioxidant)
- Superoxide dismutase (SOD)
- Catalase
- Glutathione peroxidase

These are thousands of times more powerful than dietary antioxidants from vegetables.

Eating berries for antioxidants is like pissing in…

Your body produces its own antioxidants: - Glutathione (master antioxidant) - Superoxide dismutase (SOD) - Catalase - Glutathione peroxidase These are thousands of times more powerful than dietary antioxidants from vegetables. Eating berries for antioxidants is like pissing in the ocean to raise sea levels. Your endogenous antioxidant system is so sophisticated that dietary antioxidants barely register. What does improve your body's antioxidant production? - Adequate protein (provides amino acids for glutathione) - B vitamins (required for antioxidant enzyme function) - Minerals like selenium, zinc, copper (cofactors) - Stable fats that don't oxidize (saturated fat, not seed oils) All from animal products. The "eat plants for antioxidants" narrative ignores that your body makes better antioxidants when you eat meat.

But that doesn't sell blueberries.
