The frequency of citizen bank accounts being closed with no warning or reason given seems to be increasing in frequency. Not just Chase; not just vaccine non-narrative. Ability to pay bills, even function in society is destroyed. Do we have no protection against our own U.S. banks? The FDIC protection in this case does not apply. Recent article: “US Banks Are Abruptly Freezing Accounts, Halting Withdrawals Without Warning” July 22 2023. Note many State attorneys general have accused JP Morgan of freezing accounts based on “religious and political biases”.
In the meantime, do some research for a local Credit Union. A number of limitation were eliminated during the Banking Crisis. Navy Federal is very large, ubiquitous, ample field of membership and services. (One who left banks after working many years in the belly of the beast).
What is unbelievable is that they have the audacity to not only close your account but to KEEP your money! What if the news crew had not shown up? And talk about No good deed going unpunished! HE made the report to the FBI about a crime! He was NOT the criminal.
I just received this comment by email from a reader about the previous article and felt in my heart that I needed to post it:
"Carpal tunnel is a subject close to my heart. I started piano lessons at 5, learned to transcribe quickly (to create scripts for my children's theater productions) at 10, learned to type QWERTY at 14 (nine years of piano practice later) on those huge clunky iron machines everyone used to use in the 60's and right from the start was very fast, had very strong fingers, and still type on iron manual typewriters (which I collect) for pleasure.
Fell into professional transcription in order to live an alternative lifestyle so I could work at home and homeschool my kid (while living on a boat). I've made a living this way for almost 40 years. Of course I developed carpal tunnel while living on a 24-foot sailboat and typing in the galley (on a computer) during the Gulf War I—terrible ergonomics. When it eventually became impossible to type, I left the big city and moved to the country because I couldn't make enough of a living with damaged wrists. At that point, I couldn't write with a pen, cut veggies with a knife, or hold a coffee cup. I could barely drive my 1971 VW bus which did not have power steering and could feel the disability moving down my back.
Started homesteading in the country, got goats to make my own feta and yoghurt, and was startled three weeks after my first goat "freshened" (came into milk) that I was doing carpentry, hauling water from the well, chopping wood—all these essential things I had been relying on my teenaged son to do. It was quite a shock. I refused surgery all along. And do not trust pharmaceuticals.
We had lived in India for awhile where I developed a love of "curd"--a simple cheese the Northern Indians commonly throw into their curries. We made curry with curd every night once we had goat milk. It was a great way to get a LOT of the medicinal components of the (unpasteurized) fresh goat milk into your body.
And it completely cured my carpal tunnel. In three weeks! I have been transcribing and milking goats for 25 years now since the exacerbation of the carpal tunnel, chopping wood, hauling water (and hay and 50 lbs. bags of hay), chainsawing, etc. Also learning to play the cello. My shoulder girdle gives me a bit of trouble now that I'm over 60 and insisted on chopping wood by hand with a very heavy axe, but my carpal tunnel never came back. I did buy an electric logsplitter or I probably would have froze to death because of problems with my shoulders. I still make a living doing transcription as a freelancer. I am 69.
It's the milk. Goat's milk is incredibly medicinal. Store-bought is pasteurized and does not contain most of the healthy components you need to heal. It also smells "goaty" which indicates the presence of too much bacteria. But fresh, unpasteurized milk from a goat that eats primarily grass and wild herbs (AKA "weeds") cannot be beat.
Where I live old timers always keep at least one goat because they know fresh goat milk prevents arthritis.
Because I'm not a paid subscriber I could not read your treatments. But I've never needed anything other than my goats. Their milk is also much better than infant formula."
I think Dear Doctor, it also works for severe arthritis. There is a true story, now a children's picture book called The Goat Lady....she raised goats and drank the milk because of her crippling arthritis....Massachusetts...told by the kids who moved in next door. Children's section of your public library hopefully....true story. Picture Book.
I've tried raw whole milk kefir 3 times. First time was great. Second time the container was about ready to explode and did gush out when opened it, having spoiled and built up gasses way before the expiration date. I took a tiny taste and confirmed it was spoiled. The third time was also not fortunate for me. Again I opened the container before it's expiration date and it seemed on the verge of spoiling. Nonetheless I drank a cup and proceeded to have the worse gas and bloating ever. Luckily I was at home when those built up gasses from the spoilage eventually passed out my bottom end. When I checked the leftover a few days later it was most definitely spoiled. Now I'm a little leary from the raw mlik products... Like I mentioned, I did have good luck with the first bottle but not the others. Maybe I should subtract an extract 3 weeks or so from the expiration date? That method would leave some products already or just about spoiled from my local store though
For two years this month I have been drinking raw milk from grass-fed, fully pastured, Jerseys from farm in Lanc Cty Pa. No longer have a supply of useful quart yogurt containers, as I stopped having interest in yogurt (previously a desirable treat) shortly after starting to drink this milk. I also found I lost a few pounds in the months after getting this milk into my diet( not a big issue w. BMI 24)
When I was young in Texas we had goats and fresh goat milk. Delicious. The stuff in the store I've had, not so much. After reading the testimonial I'm going to look for a raw store brand that doesn't reek.
Quite interesting! My dear friend couldn’t even open a water bottle due to the pain in her hands. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. A DO recommended she start eating red meat. She hadn’t eaten red meat in over 20 years. She tried it out of desperation and her pain completely disappeared in less than a month after consuming meat 3 times a week. She’s still pain free 7 years later.
Wow! Thankyou , that's really helpful. Fortunately I have no arthritis or Fibromyalgia, but I do get trigger points in my arms which give me referred pain in the thumb joints and first finger joints sometimes as I have a tendency to work too long at my computer (software developer for 35+ years => occupational hazard). I am currently having physio for sore overstretrained right shoulder (mouse use) .
I only eat red meat, about 3 times a MONTH on average. But since I HATE MILK of all kinds, this will be a useful tip for the future!
When I started having carpal tunnel symptoms, my chiropractor asked it there was anything else I needed help with after a routine back adjustment. I said yes but there wasn't anything he could do about it. He asked what it was and I told him carpal tunnel in my right hand from doing a specific job. He grabbed my hand and manipulated it a bit causing some snap crackle pops, and damn if it didn't feel better! So if you know a good chiropractor, that might be an option to relieve carpal tunnel problems.
I've had good luck with Chiropractic too, though it seems to heavily rely on the skill of the person and may take a few attempts or adjustments. He didn't happen to practice the Gonstead method did he?
I've never heard of the Gonstead method, so I don't know whether he practiced it or not. He was referred to me by a mutual friend, and did a great job on my back while I lived in that area (Indiana) working a physically demanding job. Later I went to a Chinese TCM practitioner who also was a chiropractor. He was very effective too, but quite different! My partner has bad luck with chiropractors, or perhaps he just expects too much from them. He does have serious spinal issues though, while I just have run-of-the-mill occasional misalignments or pulled muscles.
Some practitioners just seem to have a "feel" for what needs to be done better than others. And you're absolutely right that it may take more than one adjustment to fix the issue. I had one pinched-nerve issue that had me limping painfully. The first adjustment reduced the pain by 80%. It took two more adjustments before it was completely gone.
I was near death from starvation with digestion that barely functioned, in a serious health collapse. The only food i could eat was goat's milk kefir in the Budwig formula — thankfully i found a woman who had inherited a herd brought over from Poland, i believe it was, that had never been medicated or fed non-organic foods... and her organic raw kefir was likewise inherited and pure. It literally saved my life and started my digestion and my body healing.
Of course, i had fantastic health guidance from an expert medical researcher in helping with autism — if i'm allowed to share that info, it was thrivewithautism.ca. Her research and experience has shown that diet and environmental toxins have a significant impact, and was kind enough to help me learn how to heal my digestion. Without her, and the organic raw goats' milk kefir, i wouldn't be here today.
Kefir from goat milk helps me for some reason. I thought it was the probiotics in kefir, but the goat kefir cleared my sinuses wonderfully when I had this Upper Respiratory Infection, whereas the other cow-milk kefirs did not clear the sinuses. It is interesting, many people report on the benefits of goat milk.
please do post a not or direct message for how someone can become a transcriber. btw, might want to check out @nutridetect on twitter. Garrett Smith has figured out how copper and retinol fit into issues like carpal tunnel and everything thing else we have beating us up. all about the liver. thank you
I think they are trying it out to see how the people react. It is completely outrageous, completely totalitarian and extremely dishonest, and it is also a psychological test of sorts in my opinion. If there is an outrage, they'll step back, then try again, etc. As usual, a strong reaction on our part can make them at least temporarily stop being totally shameless. It won't change their overall goals but we have some power.
It seems many people were so traumatized from the recent years, many just wanted to get back to some kind of normal. Others, just refuse to open their eyes and resent anyone trying to explain how dire the situation is. I was at an event recently and saw a lady I’ve known for years. We briefly chatted, and she said she considers anything covid related like the vaccines as “old news” and not worthy of anymore discussion. I thought later I should have replied to her, no, its not over, but only begun. It would have been a waste of my time because in essence, it was a statement against me, who had warned her during covid about vaccine dangers. After 4 vaccines, at some point she developed a stomach issue but Drs. don’t know or find anything wrong.
Sadly, this is the future. You will be debanked (and basically unpersoned) if you dissent from the current narrative. The writing was on the wall with the Canadian truckers, which is why my rule for banks is the same as my rule for crypto:
It's already happening below the radar. Cheap and easy way to generate fear and control. Fractional reserve banking is even more fantastical than the invisible man in the sky. They bit off more than they can chew when they did it to Russia. That's accelerated the change to using national currency for transactions and long term other trading currencies coming into play through the non western world. Our ruling classes are too smart by half. Centuries of ripping off the world with gunboats and since Bretton Woods with banksters is coming to an end. Our financial ruling classes will have to screw us even more, not being able to screw the global south as much. Hang on, it's going to be a rough ride.
Think back over the last, say, 20 years. Did you protest against the Iraq war? How about protesting at Occupy Wall Street? Were you a member of the Tea Party? A member of #TheResistance? Did you disagree with the government’s covid response? It’s nearly certain that everybody with a political pulse has crossed the government at one time or another. How comfortable are you with the idea that the person you’re protesting against can shut off your bank account?
Because now, it seems, those perfectly legal actions at least have the potential to come with harsh monetary consequences, as well as the ensuing chaos caused by financial ruin. And this is happening all without a single shred of oversight or due process. It’s just some asshole in an expensive suit giving a list of ‘subversives’ to another asshole in an expensive suit. The no-fly list but with the very real potential to ruin your life.
Well, I’m toast. I have posts all over social media that go against everything allowed. Thank G-d I’m not young, maybe I will die before all this gets really bad.
I was a Midwestern Pharmaceutical Representative back in the 70s and early 80s. That was before doctors were owned and controlled by hospitals, and before hospitals and the FDA were owned and controlled by the pharmaceutical industry.
Toward the end of my career in the pharmaceutical business, I earned an M.B.A. My fields of concentration were marketing and management. I would eventually leave the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry for a better paying job in advertising and sales promotion. I loved it.
Also at that time, one of my best customers, a Midwestern Doctor, decided to give up his independence for the security of a government job and a secure paycheck with the Air Force. I couldn’t believe it. Why would a person who was highly trained, with years of wonderful experience, decide to give it all away and join the military?
Then it came to me. As an independent, he actually had to PRACTICE medicine. He had to think for himself. With every patient, he had to work hard to earn and keep that patient’s trust.
Most young physicians today really think that they’re practicing medicine. They’re not. The pharmaceutical industry tells the hospitals what must be done for a patient, and the hospitals tell the doctors. The doctors order all kinds of tests, at outrageous prices to insurance companies. The patient is abused with invasive procedures, most of which are unnecessary.
Doctors sold their souls to the devil for security. And, the devil always gets the souls he targets. It’s a mess. My advice? Invest in a mutual fund with many international pharmaceutical companies. The stocks in that fund will always grow. As to picking a doctor? Don’t. They’re ALL compromised.
Buying stock in the open market in a company is not investing in that company. The investors have already invested in that company when the company originally sold to shares, something called a initial public offering (IPO). These shares are bought in a stock market.
Lol. I’m sure you know a lot about medicine, Doctor, but apparently little about stocks and bonds. And that’s okay. Few people are experts in securities. Once upon a time, working as a securities representative was one of my “career choices.” I have ADD, which means that I can’t concentrate on one thing too long.
You buy a mutual fund that invests in lots of companies to diversify your portfolio. To spread the risk around. Mutual funds trade in stocks that are publicly traded, not initial public offerings (IPO). When you buy a stock that’s traded on a stock exchange, the seller of that stock gets the money, not the company.
Low risk investments are appropriate for older folks like me who want to protect what we have.
Well its investing to me. More importantly, I would be associated financially with a company committing crimes against humanity! I didn’t quite understand how bad it all was at the time I sold my shares, but had an inkling it was dirty! Kind of like sin stocks. Didn’t want to be a part of them.
The original IPO purchasers directly invested in the company, I get that and I agree with you there. They then at some point sell their shares, most likely for more than they paid/invested. Someone buys those shares which transfers money to the sellers, rewarding them for investing in that company.
Then it continues on down the line. I understand that you can look at it as separate from the initial investing in the company, but if you are a shareholder you are playing the game and contributing to the value of the stocks (and therefore the company) by creating demand. If the demand fell off, the companies would suffer. If the demand increases, they do better. I stand by my comment and viewpoint, but I can see where you are coming from as well. It would just be semantics (the accuracy of the use of the word "investment") if not for the important distinction that you don't see buying stocks after the IPO as supporting these companies, while I (and apparently others who've commented here) still see it that way, even if the support is less direct.
If you narrow your focus to the individual transaction of buying/selling a stock, it's easy to view it as a stand-alone act that only affects the buyer and seller. But if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture of how that one transaction (and others like it) affect that company, you can see how it contributes to that company, even if "investment" is not the precisely correct term.
I’m impressed. As I might have mentioned, in a past life I was a securities representative. I had clients who would tell me that they didn’t want to invest in (fill in the blank). It could be bioengineered food, or herbicides that cause deformities in pigs, or manufacturers of automobiles powered by gasoline combustion engines. I found that it was usually a waste of my time trying to explain to them why a mutual fund was a great investment. I just avoided those mutual funds that invested in whatever they were pissed about.
In any case, if you want to stick it to the pharmaceutical companies by not trading in the stocks, be my guest. They deserve all the animosity and negative press they can get.
This is precisely fascism, as the founder of fascism, Mussolini, said in his eponymous 1932 The Doctrine of Fascism. You can read if for free, about 10 -12 pp, depending on how you print it out https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" said Benito Mussolini. Speech to Chamber of Deputies (9 December 1928), quoted in Propaganda and Dictatorship (2007) by Marx Fritz Morstein, p. 48.
Very simply, fascism is the merger of the socialist state with co-opted, crony big biz, whereas its socialist COUSIN, Marxism, has the state directly own the means of production. There is also the issue of nationalism vs internationalism (which is why the National SOCIALISTS, aka Nazis, wanted their leibensraum in the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). Anyone see the common word there? a
Oh yeah. Socialists fighting? Why did communist Brezhnev almost nuke communist Mao in the Ussuri River war ~1970 (Nixon said if he did, the US would get involved, so it stopped) ? Why did communist China TWICE invade communist Vietnam in the late 1970s?
Nazi stands for the Nazionale Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei – the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party. Was it just a name, as some try to excuse it? Then why did the Nazi’s introduce the “Reichsarbeitsdienst” – the National Labour Svc that had public work systems; why the “Kraft durch Freude,” where the STATE even took care of the leisure time of workers? The only difference is that the Nazis were socialist, racist nationalists, and the left today are socialist inter-racial globalists. Otherwise, it is identical, including the use of brownshirt street thugs, Kristallnacht (night of the broken windows), Aktion T-4, (a euthanasia programme; notice BLM never protests at Planned Parenthood, THE leading killer of black today) etc. etc. Either way, the common man, justice and truth are squashed.
Here are some of the planks of the Nazis, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:
“We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living… We demand profit sharing in big business… the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . . . The government must undertake the improvement of public health… permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good”
No the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of production, only that the govt oversee and run the economy, as they knew that legal ownership wasn’t what counted, but rather CONTROL. So, private citizens could hold title – as long as the state had the unqualified right to use their property. I.e., de facto socialism, the STATE still controls. Or, as Carl Limbacher wrote in NewsMax, Dec. 5, 2005, “Benito Mussolini's Fascist economic policy, which he called the "mixed economy," tried to combine Marxism with capitalism. What resulted was a dictatorship which allowed limited economic freedom to those favored industries willing to operate under government patronage.” The observant among you will note well the phrase “operate under government patronage.” In fact, private industry was a hostage of the Nazis. They did not hesitate to confiscate Junker's aircraft business, or threaten the others with creating a government-run business to compete with it. BASF was so created. Hitler also did not hesitate to threaten the lives and families of any industrialist who did not cooperate. Speer allegedly did so when he ran the German economy. Why leftists think ANY private citizen would be able to thwart somebody who literally controlled the power of life and death over them is beyond me. Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze is one book exploring this.
In fact, as Nick Sorrentino notes at http://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/2014/02/are-fascism-and-socialism-opposites-or-2-sides-of-the-same-coin/, “Both Nazis and Communists are for ever more power to the state. Those with a classically liberal drift (classical liberalism is the same at conservatism) are on the other end of the political spectrum (assuming we want to be intellectually honest). As Daniel Hannan points out below, one of the key differences between the two similar camps is that Hitler (and others) saw that it was just more efficient to keep the bourgeois factory owners and managers in place than to liquidate the entire class as they had in Soviet Russia. It wasn’t like the factory owners and other business owners weren’t under the thumb of the party vanguard post 1933, or that the industrialists even “owned” the Nazi Party. They were just kept on and co-opted in technocratic German style. And as Laurence Dodd’s noted in UK’s Telegraph, at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/, “Goebbels never doubted that he was a socialist. He understood Nazism to be a better and more plausible form of socialism than that propagated by Lenin. Instead of spreading itself across different nations, it would operate within the unit of the Volk”…. Nazism would simply deliver “der echte Sozialismus”: real socialism, while at the same time getting rid of the Jews. In fact, in Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote expressly on the socialist state vs. liberty: "The unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual; and that the higher interests involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the duties of the interests of the individual." Compare this to the US Constitution and the spirit behind it, or even the Magna Carta. And you need not guess which side the US Democrat party is on.
The only seeming difference between Hitler’s Nazism and today’s National Socialists is that Aryan racial purity. Or is it? Truth is, the self-proclaimed “elite” are now the uber menschen, and we hoi polloi in flyover country are the new Poles, Jews, bibleforschers (in English, we would call them “Bible bangers) -10% of the Dachau concentration camp was made up of Christian clergy, as one example), etc. And of course, relative to racial purity as www.blackgeocide.com notes, over 15.5 million black babies have been aborted since 1973 - 1,876 babies every single day, while in 2010, the most recent year available, 138,539 black babies were aborted - nearly one baby in three was murdered in the womb in 2010, per http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/21/j-kenneth-blackwell-black-abortions-a-crisis-in-am/ Sadly, leftist blacks are voting for their own liquidation. Another example is Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel not so subtly suggesting that other "useless eaters" or "Lebensunwertes Leben" (life unworthy of life) just die at 75, per his famous statement.
Precisely! If I ever get cancer, I will use the natural methods that three people I know personally used to get rid of it. I never donate to any of those groups either. Not only are they not really after a cure, but they do cruel animal experiments (or fund them) which are unnecessary and unhelpful to humans (except to line pockets.)

Excellent stack. Thank you so much. My father passed last year and while in his decline he suffered with dementia. After consulting with a geriatrics doctor he was placed on medication for the dementia (I’d have to look in the record to remember which one). Within a couple weeks, my brother (who lives close) and me (2 hours away) both noticed he was worse, not better. We finally got my mother to pull him off. He was briefly better but then declined again with his other issues and passed in hospice a few weeks later. Now I will watch everything the place my mother on like a hawk. I wish I’d known all this a year ago. :( thank you though!
About 33 y ago i coordinated a double blind trial of a potential Alzheimer drug at the memory disorder clinic at U of South Florida. I can't remember (lol) the name. It did not "work" except on one very severely impaired patient who got to keep taking it. After I left, I kept up with Christmas cards with her husband. Year after year, I thought she must have died. She lived for many years in a severe fetal position state. I always wondered if these drugs slow progression to cause a long drawn out death.
The banks should be aware .. that they do not have a free pass when siding with medical gangsters... when the time comes ... so will the prosecutions... any company who assisted the vaccine industry for profit will also be guilty by association.. and it will serve them right if they receive substantial penalties... and possibly long jail terms... duh!
If we had many more but smaller corporations, as well as small family owned stores, service companies and manufacturers the power of political correctness would be weakened. If your boss is a jerk you just go to a new job. This situation developed because people would be concerned about the power of large corporations, so they would demand that the government Do Something. The rules and regulations thereby induced would make life much harder for small companies than for large, who would just filled up a room with lawyers and accountants. (Don't throw me into that briar patch!) This consolidated power in both corporations and government. We need rules that give the economic advantage to smaller companies, and tend to cause a large company to fission into smaller ones. It also needs to be easy to start a new company; you want to make it easy for a group of bright, young executives and engineers to leave their parent company and start their own, infuriating their old bosses. (I used to tell people that as long as the corporations support the Republicans the Democrats will do their bidding.)
There's some interesting research being done on the use of transcranial focused ultrasound for Alzheimer's. It's based on a very interesting model of the disease that is connected with Nobel laureate physicist Roger Penrose's theory of consciousness.
I recommend "Knowledge and Decisions" by Thomas Sowell to better understand how organizations and individuals end up making these horrible decisions. They are responding rationally to incentives. We have pushed decision-making away from individuals, and have made the cost of information needed to hold decision-makers accountable exceedingly high .
The frequency of citizen bank accounts being closed with no warning or reason given seems to be increasing in frequency. Not just Chase; not just vaccine non-narrative.

Thanks for the comment. I am going to pin it.
And, Here’s NYT from Apr 08..
Banks Are Closing Customer Accounts, With Little Explanation
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/08/your-money/bank-account-suspicious-activity.html
exactly- it started at least as early as 2008!
Thanks for that. Terrible practice.
This could lead to the proliferation of small, local banks.
In the meantime, do some research for a local Credit Union. A number of limitation were eliminated during the Banking Crisis. Navy Federal is very large, ubiquitous, ample field of membership and services. (One who left banks after working many years in the belly of the beast).
Very good point, David, thanks!
The large banks might Bud Light themselves.
What is unbelievable is that they have the audacity to not only close your account but to KEEP your money! What if the news crew had not shown up? And talk about No good deed going unpunished! HE made the report to the FBI about a crime! He was NOT the criminal.
Now imagine having a CBDC... cash is freedom!
I just received this comment by email from a reader about the previous article and felt in my heart that I needed to post it:
"Carpal tunnel is a subject close to my heart.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this works, but I nonetheless felt I needed to share it.
Thank you. I've always loved goatmilk, cheese.
I think Dear Doctor, it also works for severe arthritis. There is a true story, now a children's picture book called The Goat Lady....she raised goats and drank the milk because of her crippling arthritis....Massachusetts...told by the kids who moved in next door. Children's section of your public library hopefully....true story. Picture Book.
Yet another testimonial to the "milk cure", as Dr. Crewe described it. https://www.realmilk.com/milk-cure/
There was a race horse of Derby fame... can't recall his name... near death. He was given raw fermented buttermilk. Healed.
I've tried raw whole milk kefir 3 times. First time was great. Second time the container was about ready to explode and did gush out when opened it, having spoiled and built up gasses way before the expiration date. I took a tiny taste and confirmed it was spoiled. The third time was also not fortunate for me. Again I opened the container before it's expiration date and it seemed on the verge of spoiling. Nonetheless I drank a cup and proceeded to have the worse gas and bloating ever. Luckily I was at home when those built up gasses from the spoilage eventually passed out my bottom end. When I checked the leftover a few days later it was most definitely spoiled. Now I'm a little leary from the raw mlik products... Like I mentioned, I did have good luck with the first bottle but not the others. Maybe I should subtract an extract 3 weeks or so from the expiration date? That method would leave some products already or just about spoiled from my local store though
I would definitely discuss this with both the store and the supplier. Sounds like somewhere along the line it was not refrigerated.
For two years this month I have been drinking raw milk from grass-fed, fully pastured, Jerseys from farm in Lanc Cty Pa. No longer have a supply of useful quart yogurt containers, as I stopped having interest in yogurt (previously a desirable treat) shortly after starting to drink this milk. I also found I lost a few pounds in the months after getting this milk into my diet( not a big issue w. BMI 24)
I never knew that fresh goat's milk will not smell. . . Sad I only have access to supermarket goat products which all have goat smell. . .
When I was young in Texas we had goats and fresh goat milk. Delicious. The stuff in the store I've had, not so much. After reading the testimonial I'm going to look for a raw store brand that doesn't reek.
Put a penny on each wrist and keep it there when typing—use fingers, not wrists. Typing teachers used to teach this.
Quite interesting! My dear friend couldn’t even open a water bottle due to the pain in her hands. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. A DO recommended she start eating red meat. She hadn’t eaten red meat in over 20 years. She tried it out of desperation and her pain completely disappeared in less than a month after consuming meat 3 times a week. She’s still pain free 7 years later.
Wow! Thankyou , that's really helpful. Fortunately I have no arthritis or Fibromyalgia, but I do get trigger points in my arms which give me referred pain in the thumb joints and first finger joints sometimes as I have a tendency to work too long at my computer (software developer for 35+ years => occupational hazard). I am currently having physio for sore overstretrained right shoulder (mouse use) .
I only eat red meat, about 3 times a MONTH on average. But since I HATE MILK of all kinds, this will be a useful tip for the future!
I truly hope you find some relief!
See below. "The Goat Lady". Children's Picture Book. True Story. I read it often to my little ones.
When I started having carpal tunnel symptoms, my chiropractor asked it there was anything else I needed help with after a routine back adjustment. I said yes but there wasn't anything he could do about it. He asked what it was and I told him carpal tunnel in my right hand from doing a specific job. He grabbed my hand and manipulated it a bit causing some snap crackle pops, and damn if it didn't feel better! So if you know a good chiropractor, that might be an option to relieve carpal tunnel problems.
My dad was a DC and treated carpel tunnel this way. He told me it was always about working the wrist and opening those areas.
I've had good luck with Chiropractic too, though it seems to heavily rely on the skill of the person and may take a few attempts or adjustments. He didn't happen to practice the Gonstead method did he?
I've never heard of the Gonstead method, so I don't know whether he practiced it or not. He was referred to me by a mutual friend, and did a great job on my back while I lived in that area (Indiana) working a physically demanding job. Later I went to a Chinese TCM practitioner who also was a chiropractor. He was very effective too, but quite different! My partner has bad luck with chiropractors, or perhaps he just expects too much from them. He does have serious spinal issues though, while I just have run-of-the-mill occasional misalignments or pulled muscles.
Some practitioners just seem to have a "feel" for what needs to be done better than others. And you're absolutely right that it may take more than one adjustment to fix the issue. I had one pinched-nerve issue that had me limping painfully. The first adjustment reduced the pain by 80%. It took two more adjustments before it was completely gone.
I was near death from starvation with digestion that barely functioned, in a serious health collapse. The only food i could eat was goat's milk kefir in the Budwig formula — thankfully i found a woman who had inherited a herd brought over from Poland, i believe it was, that had never been medicated or fed non-organic foods... and her organic raw kefir was likewise inherited and pure. It literally saved my life and started my digestion and my body healing.
Of course, i had fantastic health guidance from an expert medical researcher in helping with autism — if i'm allowed to share that info, it was thrivewithautism.ca. Her research and experience has shown that diet and environmental toxins have a significant impact, and was kind enough to help me learn how to heal my digestion. Without her, and the organic raw goats' milk kefir, i wouldn't be here today.
Kefir from goat milk helps me for some reason. I thought it was the probiotics in kefir, but the goat kefir cleared my sinuses wonderfully when I had this Upper Respiratory Infection, whereas the other cow-milk kefirs did not clear the sinuses. It is interesting, many people report on the benefits of goat milk.
please do post a not or direct message for how someone can become a transcriber. btw, might want to check out @nutridetect on twitter. Garrett Smith has figured out how copper and retinol fit into issues like carpal tunnel and everything thing else we have beating us up. all about the liver. thank you
I think they are trying it out to see how the people react. It is completely outrageous, completely totalitarian and extremely dishonest, and it is also a psychological test of sorts in my opinion. If there is an outrage, they'll step back, then try again, etc. As usual, a strong reaction on our part can make them at least temporarily stop being totally shameless. It won't change their overall goals but we have some power.
That was my thought to and why I wrote this. Thank you Tessa : )
Superb article!
Many thanks for your hard work and research.
And send Kim a thanks as well!
It seems many people were so traumatized from the recent years, many just wanted to get back to some kind of normal. Others, just refuse to open their eyes and resent anyone trying to explain how dire the situation is. I was at an event recently and saw a lady I’ve known for years. We briefly chatted, and she said she considers anything covid related like the vaccines as “old news” and not worthy of anymore discussion. I thought later I should have replied to her, no, its not over, but only begun. It would have been a waste of my time because in essence, it was a statement against me, who had warned her during covid about vaccine dangers. After 4 vaccines, at some point she developed a stomach issue but Drs. don’t know or find anything wrong.
Sadly, this is the future. You will be debanked (and basically unpersoned) if you dissent from the current narrative. The writing was on the wall with the Canadian truckers, which is why my rule for banks is the same as my rule for crypto:
Only put in what you can afford to lose.
It's already happening below the radar. Cheap and easy way to generate fear and control. Fractional reserve banking is even more fantastical than the invisible man in the sky. They bit off more than they can chew when they did it to Russia. That's accelerated the change to using national currency for transactions and long term other trading currencies coming into play through the non western world. Our ruling classes are too smart by half. Centuries of ripping off the world with gunboats and since Bretton Woods with banksters is coming to an end. Our financial ruling classes will have to screw us even more, not being able to screw the global south as much. Hang on, it's going to be a rough ride.
All true.
Edit: Other countries are as pissed about holding depreciating dollars as Americans are.
Yep. I wrote about this as it was going down with the truckers:

Think back over the last, say, 20 years. Did you protest against the Iraq war? How about protesting at Occupy Wall Street? Were you a member of the Tea Party? A member of #TheResistance? Did you disagree with the government’s covid response? It’s nearly certain that everybody with a political pulse has crossed the government at one time or another. How comfortable are you with the idea that the person you’re protesting against can shut off your bank account?
Because now, it seems, those perfectly legal actions at least have the potential to come with harsh monetary consequences, as well as the ensuing chaos caused by financial ruin. And this is happening all without a single shred of oversight or due process. It’s just some asshole in an expensive suit giving a list of ‘subversives’ to another asshole in an expensive suit. The no-fly list but with the very real potential to ruin your life.
Well, I’m toast. I have posts all over social media that go against everything allowed. Thank G-d I’m not young, maybe I will die before all this gets really bad.

I was a Midwestern Pharmaceutical Representative back in the 70s and early 80s. That was before doctors were owned and controlled by hospitals, and before hospitals and the FDA were owned and controlled by the pharmaceutical industry.
Toward the end of my career in the pharmaceutical business, I earned an M.B.A. My fields of concentration were marketing and management. I would eventually leave the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry for a better paying job in advertising and sales promotion. I loved it.
Also at that time, one of my best customers, a Midwestern Doctor, decided to give up his independence for the security of a government job and a secure paycheck with the Air Force. I couldn’t believe it. Why would a person who was highly trained, with years of wonderful experience, decide to give it all away and join the military?
Then it came to me. As an independent, he actually had to PRACTICE medicine. He had to think for himself. With every patient, he had to work hard to earn and keep that patient’s trust.
Most young physicians today really think that they’re practicing medicine. They’re not. The pharmaceutical industry tells the hospitals what must be done for a patient, and the hospitals tell the doctors. The doctors order all kinds of tests, at outrageous prices to insurance companies. The patient is abused with invasive procedures, most of which are unnecessary.
Doctors sold their souls to the devil for security. And, the devil always gets the souls he targets. It’s a mess. My advice? Invest in a mutual fund with many international pharmaceutical companies. The stocks in that fund will always grow. As to picking a doctor? Don’t. They’re ALL compromised.
But wouldn’t you be selling your soul for profit from investing in international pharma companies???
Buying stock in the open market in a company is not investing in that company. The investors have already invested in that company when the company originally sold to shares, something called a initial public offering (IPO). These shares are bought in a stock market.
I do low yield investments bc I dont want to support those companies.
Lol. I’m sure you know a lot about medicine, Doctor, but apparently little about stocks and bonds. And that’s okay. Few people are experts in securities. Once upon a time, working as a securities representative was one of my “career choices.” I have ADD, which means that I can’t concentrate on one thing too long.
You buy a mutual fund that invests in lots of companies to diversify your portfolio. To spread the risk around. Mutual funds trade in stocks that are publicly traded, not initial public offerings (IPO). When you buy a stock that’s traded on a stock exchange, the seller of that stock gets the money, not the company.
Low risk investments are appropriate for older folks like me who want to protect what we have.
"low risk investments" .... an expert who knows it all ... okay whatever ... we shall see .... good luck, btw no bad feeling, just sayin'
Well its investing to me. More importantly, I would be associated financially with a company committing crimes against humanity! I didn’t quite understand how bad it all was at the time I sold my shares, but had an inkling it was dirty! Kind of like sin stocks. Didn’t want to be a part of them.
Sooooo..... you're rewarding OTHER people who have invested in these companies? Still perpetuating the abuse, IMHO.
Wow. I’m going to have to start my own Substack just to teach Finance 101. Will you be my first student?
Sorry, but I think my head would explode!
The original IPO purchasers directly invested in the company, I get that and I agree with you there. They then at some point sell their shares, most likely for more than they paid/invested. Someone buys those shares which transfers money to the sellers, rewarding them for investing in that company.
Then it continues on down the line. I understand that you can look at it as separate from the initial investing in the company, but if you are a shareholder you are playing the game and contributing to the value of the stocks (and therefore the company) by creating demand. If the demand fell off, the companies would suffer. If the demand increases, they do better. I stand by my comment and viewpoint, but I can see where you are coming from as well. It would just be semantics (the accuracy of the use of the word "investment") if not for the important distinction that you don't see buying stocks after the IPO as supporting these companies, while I (and apparently others who've commented here) still see it that way, even if the support is less direct.
If you narrow your focus to the individual transaction of buying/selling a stock, it's easy to view it as a stand-alone act that only affects the buyer and seller. But if you zoom out and look at the bigger picture of how that one transaction (and others like it) affect that company, you can see how it contributes to that company, even if "investment" is not the precisely correct term.
Has the student become the teacher? ;)
I’m impressed. As I might have mentioned, in a past life I was a securities representative. I had clients who would tell me that they didn’t want to invest in (fill in the blank). It could be bioengineered food, or herbicides that cause deformities in pigs, or manufacturers of automobiles powered by gasoline combustion engines. I found that it was usually a waste of my time trying to explain to them why a mutual fund was a great investment. I just avoided those mutual funds that invested in whatever they were pissed about.
In any case, if you want to stick it to the pharmaceutical companies by not trading in the stocks, be my guest. They deserve all the animosity and negative press they can get.
This is precisely fascism, as the founder of fascism, Mussolini, said in his eponymous 1932 The Doctrine of Fascism. You can read if for free, about 10 -12 pp, depending on how you print it out https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" said Benito Mussolini. Speech to Chamber of Deputies (9 December 1928), quoted in Propaganda and Dictatorship (2007) by Marx Fritz Morstein, p. 48.
Very simply, fascism is the merger of the socialist state with co-opted, crony big biz, whereas its socialist COUSIN, Marxism, has the state directly own the means of production. There is also the issue of nationalism vs internationalism (which is why the National SOCIALISTS, aka Nazis, wanted their leibensraum in the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). Anyone see the common word there? a
Oh yeah. Socialists fighting? Why did communist Brezhnev almost nuke communist Mao in the Ussuri River war ~1970 (Nixon said if he did, the US would get involved, so it stopped) ? Why did communist China TWICE invade communist Vietnam in the late 1970s?
Nazi stands for the Nazionale Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei – the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party. Was it just a name, as some try to excuse it? Then why did the Nazi’s introduce the “Reichsarbeitsdienst” – the National Labour Svc that had public work systems; why the “Kraft durch Freude,” where the STATE even took care of the leisure time of workers? The only difference is that the Nazis were socialist, racist nationalists, and the left today are socialist inter-racial globalists. Otherwise, it is identical, including the use of brownshirt street thugs, Kristallnacht (night of the broken windows), Aktion T-4, (a euthanasia programme; notice BLM never protests at Planned Parenthood, THE leading killer of black today) etc. etc. Either way, the common man, justice and truth are squashed.
Here are some of the planks of the Nazis, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:
“We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living… We demand profit sharing in big business… the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . . . The government must undertake the improvement of public health… permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good”
No the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of production, only that the govt oversee and run the economy, as they knew that legal ownership wasn’t what counted, but rather CONTROL. So, private citizens could hold title – as long as the state had the unqualified right to use their property. I.e., de facto socialism, the STATE still controls. Or, as Carl Limbacher wrote in NewsMax, Dec. 5, 2005, “Benito Mussolini's Fascist economic policy, which he called the "mixed economy," tried to combine Marxism with capitalism. What resulted was a dictatorship which allowed limited economic freedom to those favored industries willing to operate under government patronage.” The observant among you will note well the phrase “operate under government patronage.” In fact, private industry was a hostage of the Nazis. They did not hesitate to confiscate Junker's aircraft business, or threaten the others with creating a government-run business to compete with it. BASF was so created. Hitler also did not hesitate to threaten the lives and families of any industrialist who did not cooperate. Speer allegedly did so when he ran the German economy. Why leftists think ANY private citizen would be able to thwart somebody who literally controlled the power of life and death over them is beyond me. Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze is one book exploring this.
In fact, as Nick Sorrentino notes at http://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/2014/02/are-fascism-and-socialism-opposites-or-2-sides-of-the-same-coin/, “Both Nazis and Communists are for ever more power to the state. Those with a classically liberal drift (classical liberalism is the same at conservatism) are on the other end of the political spectrum (assuming we want to be intellectually honest). As Daniel Hannan points out below, one of the key differences between the two similar camps is that Hitler (and others) saw that it was just more efficient to keep the bourgeois factory owners and managers in place than to liquidate the entire class as they had in Soviet Russia. It wasn’t like the factory owners and other business owners weren’t under the thumb of the party vanguard post 1933, or that the industrialists even “owned” the Nazi Party. They were just kept on and co-opted in technocratic German style. And as Laurence Dodd’s noted in UK’s Telegraph, at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/, “Goebbels never doubted that he was a socialist. He understood Nazism to be a better and more plausible form of socialism than that propagated by Lenin. Instead of spreading itself across different nations, it would operate within the unit of the Volk”…. Nazism would simply deliver “der echte Sozialismus”: real socialism, while at the same time getting rid of the Jews. In fact, in Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote expressly on the socialist state vs. liberty: "The unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual; and that the higher interests involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the duties of the interests of the individual." Compare this to the US Constitution and the spirit behind it, or even the Magna Carta. And you need not guess which side the US Democrat party is on.
The only seeming difference between Hitler’s Nazism and today’s National Socialists is that Aryan racial purity. Or is it? Truth is, the self-proclaimed “elite” are now the uber menschen, and we hoi polloi in flyover country are the new Poles, Jews, bibleforschers (in English, we would call them “Bible bangers) -10% of the Dachau concentration camp was made up of Christian clergy, as one example), etc. And of course, relative to racial purity as www.blackgeocide.com notes, over 15.5 million black babies have been aborted since 1973 - 1,876 babies every single day, while in 2010, the most recent year available, 138,539 black babies were aborted - nearly one baby in three was murdered in the womb in 2010, per http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/21/j-kenneth-blackwell-black-abortions-a-crisis-in-am/ Sadly, leftist blacks are voting for their own liquidation. Another example is Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel not so subtly suggesting that other "useless eaters" or "Lebensunwertes Leben" (life unworthy of life) just die at 75, per his famous statement.
Bottom line: "Don't mess with our business model". This is where we are as a species. And it took decades to arrive at this point. So sad.
Precisely! If I ever get cancer, I will use the natural methods that three people I know personally used to get rid of it. I never donate to any of those groups either. Not only are they not really after a cure, but they do cruel animal experiments (or fund them) which are unnecessary and unhelpful to humans (except to line pockets.)

Excellent stack. Thank you so much. My father passed last year and while in his decline he suffered with dementia. After consulting with a geriatrics doctor he was placed on medication for the dementia (I’d have to look in the record to remember which one). Within a couple weeks, my brother (who lives close) and me (2 hours away) both noticed he was worse, not better. We finally got my mother to pull him off. He was briefly better but then declined again with his other issues and passed in hospice a few weeks later. Now I will watch everything the place my mother on like a hawk. I wish I’d known all this a year ago. :( thank you though!
About 33 y ago i coordinated a double blind trial of a potential Alzheimer drug at the memory disorder clinic at U of South Florida. I can't remember (lol) the name. It did not "work" except on one very severely impaired patient who got to keep taking it. After I left, I kept up with Christmas cards with her husband. Year after year, I thought she must have died. She lived for many years in a severe fetal position state. I always wondered if these drugs slow progression to cause a long drawn out death.
The banks should be aware .. that they do not have a free pass when siding with medical gangsters... when the time comes ... so will the prosecutions... any company who assisted the vaccine industry for profit will also be guilty by association.. and it will serve them right if they receive substantial penalties... and possibly long jail terms... duh!
Wish I could believe there will be punishments!
You make so many excellent points in this article. I posted it to Twitter and I hope many people will read it, and follow you on Substack
Big Pharma....Big Govt....Big Banks... Big Business...Big Media... It is all BigX.
I find it a little ironic that Elon changed Twitter to X because x means everything and I couldn't agree more. Keep the Faith. Hold the Line.
If we had many more but smaller corporations, as well as small family owned stores, service companies and manufacturers the power of political correctness would be weakened. If your boss is a jerk you just go to a new job. This situation developed because people would be concerned about the power of large corporations, so they would demand that the government Do Something. The rules and regulations thereby induced would make life much harder for small companies than for large, who would just filled up a room with lawyers and accountants. (Don't throw me into that briar patch!) This consolidated power in both corporations and government. We need rules that give the economic advantage to smaller companies, and tend to cause a large company to fission into smaller ones. It also needs to be easy to start a new company; you want to make it easy for a group of bright, young executives and engineers to leave their parent company and start their own, infuriating their old bosses. (I used to tell people that as long as the corporations support the Republicans the Democrats will do their bidding.)
There's some interesting research being done on the use of transcranial focused ultrasound for Alzheimer's. It's based on a very interesting model of the disease that is connected with Nobel laureate physicist Roger Penrose's theory of consciousness.

I recommend "Knowledge and Decisions" by Thomas Sowell to better understand how organizations and individuals end up making these horrible decisions. They are responding rationally to incentives. We have pushed decision-making away from individuals, and have made the cost of information needed to hold decision-makers accountable exceedingly high .
This is where you are doing a great service.
I enjoyed your optimistic perspective on why the entities behind Chase Bank did this. My perspective was a bit darker: https://heroesvsvillains.substack.com/p/parasite-infestation-news-chase-bank

Chase won’t bake Mercola’s cake?? I thought the courts settled that?
