SAMA HOOLE: Russian nobility ate: meat daily, game, poultry, fish, dairy, butter, eggs, some bread. Essentially unlimited animal protein. The physical results were stark. Serf conscripts into the Russian army averaged 5'4" to 5'6". Noble officers averaged 5'9" to 6'0". Same Slavic genetic population. Six-inch height difference.

Imperial Russia, 1700-1861. The class divide was extreme and the diet reflected it.

Russian serfs ate: black bread from rye, cabbage, beets, potatoes, occasional kasha, minimal dairy, almost no meat except feast days. Fish where available but most serfs were landlocked.

Imperial Russia, 1700-1861. The class divide was extreme and the diet reflected it. Russian serfs ate: black bread from rye, cabbage, beets, potatoes, occasional kasha, minimal dairy, almost no meat except feast days. Fish where available but most serfs were landlocked. Russian nobility ate: meat daily, game, poultry, fish, dairy, butter, eggs, some bread. Essentially unlimited animal protein. The physical results were stark. Serf conscripts into the Russian army averaged 5'4" to 5'6". Noble officers averaged 5'9" to 6'0". Same Slavic genetic population. Six-inch height difference. Military records are explicit about this. Recruitment standards had to account for class because the height difference was so consistent. Serfs were shorter, weaker, more prone to disease. This created military problems. Russian armies performed poorly against Western European forces partly because the conscript base was physically inferior. Napoleon's soldiers, even common infantry, were taller and stronger than Russian serfs despite similar poverty. Why? French common soldiers had more meat access. Even poor French ate cheese regularly, occasional meat, plenty of fish. Russian serfs had almost none. The health differential was documented. Serf communities had tuberculosis rates 3-4x higher than noble estates. Rickets was endemic among serf children, essentially absent among noble children. Life expectancy for serfs was 35-40. For nobility it was 55-60. Russian literature preserves this. Tolstoy and Dostoevsky both describe the physical weakness of peasants compared to nobles. It's treated as natural order but it was nutritional hierarchy. After serf emancipation in 1861, there was gradual improvement as former serfs could access better food. But the improvement was slow because most remained poor. It took until Soviet period with industrialization for average Russian height to increase substantially. Soviet nutrition policy, whatever else was wrong with it, did prioritize protein access. State farms, collective farms, meat rationing ensured wider distribution. Average Soviet height increased 3-4 inches between 1920 and 1960.

The class-based height difference in Imperial Russia wasn't genetic destiny. It was bread versus meat. The nobles ate meat and grew tall. The serfs ate bread and stayed short.

If only MN had handled it like this:

SUSAN KOKINDA: the real godfathers of this genocidal enterprise are the British financial oligarchy and their network of offshore banks. The British Empire pioneered global drug trafficking in the 18th and 19th centuries to destroy China's sovereignty.

We are at war. Not a "campaign against drugs." Not harm reduction. Not legislation to limit damage. What Trump has launched is TOTAL WAR—and nothing less than the complete annihilation of the enemy apparatus will be acceptable.  --Susan Kokina 

Trump just arrested a foreign head of state on drug charges. This isn't symbolic. 600,000 Americans dead in 7 years. And behind the cartels? Offshore British banks laundering trillions.  https://t.co/d5Tr5tBpp1

Now, let's get to the briefing.

On January 2, President Trump authorized the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, former Venezuelan dictator, on drug trafficking charges.

This unprecedented action—seizing a foreign head of state and bringing him to face justice in American courts—signals that the war on drugs has entered a new and decisive phase. This is not symbolic politics. This is total war.

Since taking office, Trump has systematically dismantled the drug cartel apparatus: designating cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations through Executive Order 14157, authorizing U.S. military strikes to destroy drug boats departing Venezuela before they reach American waters, and now—with Maduro's arrest—demonstrating that no one, regardless of position or power, is beyond the reach of American justice when they poison our citizens.

Some Americans are uncertain about these operations.

Democrats oppose them for cynical political reasons. But the question is not whether Trump's actions are too extreme. The question is: what took so long?

We are at war. Not a "campaign against drugs." Not harm reduction. Not legislation to limit damage. What Trump has launched is TOTAL WAR—and nothing less than the complete annihilation of the enemy apparatus will be acceptable.

The stakes could not be higher. In the last seven years, more than 600,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses—exceeding U.S. combat deaths from World War II. Fentanyl poisoning is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 50, claiming 140,000 lives in 2022 alone. The homeless crisis devastating our cities is overwhelmingly a drug crisis, with methamphetamine and fentanyl addicts comprising the vast majority of those living on streets.

Behind this carnage lies a sophisticated international apparatus.

Mexican drug cartels command over 100,000 armed men—equivalent to the Mexican Army.

Chinese triads control massive synthetic drug production through secretive shell companies.

But here is what the mainstream media will never tell you: the real godfathers of this genocidal enterprise are the British financial oligarchy and their network of offshore banks.

The British Empire pioneered global drug trafficking in the 18th and 19th centuries to destroy China's sovereignty.

Today, that same imperial system operates through "Offshore Financial Centers"—unregulated banking havens holding $50-100 trillion in laundered wealth.

Major Wall Street and City of London banks including JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, and Bank of America have been proven to knowingly launder drug money. Despite overwhelming evidence documented by federal investigators, virtually no one has gone to jail.

This is not an accident. This is a system. Drugs degrade morality, spread despair, destroy families, and make self-government impossible. What we face is a foreign invasion killing our citizens, corrupting our institutions, and poisoning our future—orchestrated by an Anglo-financial oligarchy that views American sovereignty and industrial power as threats to their global control.

Your grandfather didn't marry your grandmother because they liked the same movies. He looked for green flags most men can't see anymore - because everyone's too busy avoiding red ones. Yes. Red-flags are useful. But they're defensive. They don't optimize for selecting the RIGHT woman. Only avoiding the wrong ones. They'll filter out disasters. But they don't select for character. That's why you pick a woman who has everything you want on paper, but transforms into everything you hate during conflict. And not all green-flags are equal. Some are non-negotiable. Some are flexible. Others are noise. Your grandfather's generation knew these instinctively. TIER 1 - CHARACTER (NON-NEGOTIABLES) • How she handles stress, disappointment, conflict • Accountability vs. blame-shifting when things go wrong • Emotional regulation (not ABSENCE of emotions - her regulation of it) • How she treats people who can do nothing for her Character is how someone acts in their day-to-day life. It has nothing to do with her values. Women either pass this test, or they fail it. My grandfather took care of my grandmother for 3 years as she struggled with dementia. He did it because he'd watched her character for decades. He knew who she was when things got hard. That's what you're looking for. Once character is established, you look at alignment. TIER 2 - VALUES ALIGNMENT • Desire for kids • Financial philosophy • Career priorities • Family involvement • Importance of fitness • Religious/spiritual beliefs Character is who she is. Values are what she WANTS. On these you want broad alignment, not identical opinions. For example, it's more important you both want kids. If she wants 4 and you want 2? Workable. She wants none, you want some? Dealbreaker. Your grandfather talked to her parents. Saw her in the community. Asked if she wanted children. He knew he wasn't looking for a girlfriend. He was looking for a woman to invest the rest of his life into. Do the same. Everything else falls below these two tiers. TIER 3 - NOISE • Shared hobbies • Music taste • Social status • Career prestige • Physical "type" These are things that FEEL important, but predict nothing. You don't want to get too focused onto societal checklists. These are all STATUS signals. Not investment cues into a life-long marriage. Society's criteria aren't yours. Your grandfather didn't care if his wife liked jazz. He cared if she'd carry his legacy. But how do you see this before you commit? Time is the only real test. As you spend time dating and in a relationship, natural pressures will form. Travel delays. Family events after a 4-hour drive. Plans falling apart. You're looking for patterns on her behaviour - not just momentary reactions. Look at the signals her relationships with family and friends give you. Don't fall for online discourse about creating "tests" for this. These "tests" will occur naturally over time. You don't need to force them. But you do need to see her sick, stressed, tired and angry before you propose. You're the result of your grandfather's marriage. He raised children who raised you. Created a legacy that you're a part of. He did it by knowing what to look for. Now you do too. Get this right once.

Build a life your grandchildren will thank you for.
