DERRICK EVANS: woman says that over the next six years, the US Department of Defense is looking for 600,000 welders & electricians just to maintain our military equipment.

WOW.

This woman says that over the next six years, the US Department of Defense is looking for 600,000 welders & electricians just to maintain our military equipment.

That’s not including what is needed to make new equipment.

SAMA HOOLE: Cashews are never sold raw. Because raw cashews contain urushiol. The same toxin as poison ivy. They must be heated to destroy it. "Raw" cashews in stores are steamed

Cashews are never sold raw.

Because raw cashews contain urushiol.

The same toxin as poison ivy.

They must be heated to destroy it.

"Raw" cashews in stores are steamed.

You're eating the nut that's so toxic it requires industrial processing.

To not give you a rash.…

SEED OILS LOWER TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL

If you want to find out just why seed oils are so insidious, I have you covered.  https://t.co/nAqRSgIisU

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Plenty of other plant foods have high levels of linoleic acid, like nuts and seeds. Even pork and chicken fat is 20-25% Omega 6.

Only two diet and lifestyle factors have been shown to have worse outcomes. Smoking, and morbid obesity. Consuming seed oils puts you at worse risk than physical inactivity and heavy drinking.

[Israel is] the poster child for the wonderful Mediterranean diet that was piloted by the aforementioned cholesterol crusader, Ancel Keys. Their diet is low in total fat, low in saturated fat, and high in seed oils. They also happen to be on par with the USA in obesity.

FISH OILS RANK HIGHER ON THE PEROXIDATION INDEX THAN SEED OILS.  Just don’t make them the centrepiece of your diet, and stay the hell away from fish oil capsules. Those will almost certainly be rancid, and they actually rank higher on the peroxidation index than seed oils.

IT'S NOT JUST THE RANCIDITY OF SEED OILS THAT CAUSES THE DAMAGE, BUT A HOST OF OTHER TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS.  When seed oils go rancid, the danger isn’t restricted to oxidative damage by free radicals. It also leads to the formation of lipid hydroperoxides. They are highly unstable and rapidly decompose into other dangerous compounds, such as HNE, MDA, acrolein, and carboxyethyl pyrrole.

ALEs are ADVANCED LIPID OXIDATION END PRODUCTS.  . . . Unlike the free radicals, which cause chaos but lead mercifully short lives, ALEs are stable enough to roam around your tissues, exacting permanent damage against your DNA, proteins, and lipids.

SEED OILS LOWER CHOLESTEROL.  The fact that seed oils lower cholesterol should also be a matter of concern. Cholesterol is essential to life, being a precursor for hormones, Vitamin D, and bile acids, as well as stabilising cell membranes. Low cholesterol itself is linked to memory loss, heart failure, depression, aggression, and muscle loss.

Seed oils lower cholesterol by providing phytosterols instead, the plant variants that the human body has no interest in using. The body actively flushes out incoming phytosterols at the expense of absorbing cholesterol, resulting in an artificial denting of your cholesterol numbers.

This means the seed oils don’t normalise cholesterol, they lower it below baseline.

And animal fats don’t cause high cholesterol, they let it return back to the baseline.

Effects Of Seed Oils

• Asthma
• Autoimmune disease
• Mental health disorders
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Heart disease
• Gut dysfunction
• Inflammation
• Infertility
• Macular degeneration
• Osteoarthritis

SEED OILS ARE EVERYWHERE.  

The Seed Oil Hateful 8

• Canola Oil (Rapeseed)
• Corn Oil
• Soybean Oil
• Cottonseed Oil
• Sunflower Oil
• Safflower Oil
• Grapeseed Oil
• Rice Bran Oil

And despite being nonexistent 150 years ago, they’re everywhere at this point.

PETE HEGSETH: Apply the War Department's Golden Rule, the 1990 Test and the e6 Test then it's really hard to go wrong.

Now THAT is a mission statement https://t.co/J3tDId3Dt6

The War on Warriors, Pete Hegseth, 2024.

With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa, E. B. Sledge, 1981.

23:34.  Weak men won't qualify because we're not playing games.  This is combat.  This is life or death. As we all know, this is you versus an enemy hell bent on killing you.  To be an effective lethal fighting force, you must trust that the warrior alongside you in battle is capable, truly physically capable, of doing what is necessary under fire. You know this is the only standard you would want for your kids and for your grandkids.  Apply the War Department's Golden Rule, the 1990 Test and the e6 Test then it's really hard to go wrong.  

Search Assistant explains the "1990 Test" for Army readiness,

The "1990 Test" refers to a proposed review by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which aims to compare current military standards to those in place in 1990, a time when women had significantly fewer opportunities and lower physical standards in the military. Hegseth's initiative raises concerns about potentially reversing advancements made for women in combat roles and military integration since that time.

On the e6 test, Search Assistant explains again,

The E-6 test for the Army typically refer to the promotion process from E-5 to E-6, which includes earning promotion points through various categories such as the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), weapons qualification, and awards. Soldiers must accumulate enough points to meet the cutoff scores for their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) to be eligible for promotion. 

Third, we are attacking and ending the "Walking on eggs shells" and zero defect command culture.  A risk averse culture means officers risk execute not to lose instead of to win.  A risk averse culture means NCOs are not empowered to enforce standards. Commanders and NCOs don't take necessary risks or make tough adjustments for fear of rocking the boat or making a mistake.  A blemish free record is what peacetime leaders covet the most, which is the worst of all incentives.
