    Note for the day with Easter coming up, Remember Jesus and Barabbas and how they had the crowd choose between them? Yeah, that’s a joke: Bar – Abbas, means “Son” of “Father” i.e. “God”. And Jesus was saying he was Son of God. So it was “Do you want to let the Son of God go, or the Son of God go? Your choice.”

    Oh you meant the OTHER guy? Whoops, my bad. Can’t be mad at us!

    “ CIA’s JFK Files Clearly Prove CIA Destroyed All Their Incriminating JFK Files” –Bbee

    Too soon to ask for the REAL records, ha ha, that was funny?

    “Rate of French Women Assaulted on Public Transport Soars 86% For Some Odd Reason”

    We don’t know what it is, but it’s not that One Thing. We know that BEFORE we look, because we’re not looking, because we already know.

    “”The Science” May Have Miscalculated The Number Of People On Earth…By Billions

    Uhhhh, whut? And here you just told me all humans must die because we were too many. But you have literal no idea how many we are? Some number between two and 10 Billion?

    ““They’re not immigrants. They’re illegal aliens who are committing the most violent crimes you can imagine on Americans—murder, rapes,” she said. “Ask the parents of all of these young women who have been violently strangled, raped, and murdered.”

    “He wants it to be a fully co-equal branch that is respected by all. But the very actions he has chosen to take – or not to take – in response to the current crisis of out-of-control subordinate courts are guaranteeing that it will fall.”

    This is Marbury v Madison. People may not know this, but arguably Judicial is NOT, NOT a co-equal branch of government. Judge Marshall TOOK this power in 1801. He JUST SAID it was true. That’s it. It’s not delineated in the Constitution, nor the premise. Now legally, I agree: if the Judge can find out the law, what words mean – which their reason for existing – then they can ALSO decide if some new law conflicts with existing law, i.e. the Constitution. This is reasonable and I Prefer three co-equal branches of government. Good play. BUT THE CONSTITUTION DOESN’T SAY THAT. It may MEAN that, possibly does, but does not say it. Law isn’t about what you might make up, it’s about what was actually written. (Second, they are the court, so they should take cases. The USSC refuses their given duties and REFUSES to take cases, refusing more cases than they take. Can Austin City courts just REFUSE to run the trial of a bank robber because “they’re busy”? No. Again, this may be practical, but it’s not written.)

    “You non-lawyers need to understand that all these temporary restraining orders and injunctions and so forth are insane. This is not how law is done, either procedurally or substantively. I did litigation for 30 years,”

    Yes. Because something CAN be done, under emergencies and special circumstances…Ohh! Ohh! EVERYTHING’S an EMERGENCY! A bad head cold is an “Emergency” and you have no human rights now! No.

    Actually, many psychics and astrologers say the same. Gemini chart, with like dragon highlights, nobody knows what he’ll do because he just suspends levitates several null states, like an atom, then clap, Schrodingers one into reality, so it seems like “He was doing that all along.” Sort of is, but sort of isn’t, like any General. You have plans, then plans for plans, but really when it comes down to it, you’re just capitalizing on local movements on the ground, in that minute. That’s what makes great generals equally rare.

    “• Zelensky Regime Likely to Collapse Soon – Jeffrey Sachs (Sp.)

    Will it? That’s the MI6/French/CIA/WEF BlackRock government. If he goes, don’t they fall too?

    “Prior to talks with Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in Moscow last week, Putin stated that while he is open to a 30-day ceasefire, all military supplies to Kiev as well as the Ukrainian draft campaign need to stop to avoid strengthening Ukraine during the pause.

    Is this an old article? I thought all real ceasefires were off the table now since Ukraine jammed a huge missile right up Trump’s -ss and hit the fuse by blowing up energy systems. …Not that he will take offense at begin mud f—ked like that. Donald is a very relaxed, forgiving kind of guy and doesn’t hold grudges at all.

    Garland Nixon is losing his mind, so I wonder who else is. Apparently Trump has ALREADY started war with Iran, already savaged Social Security, already started the Third World War, ALREADY collapsed the economy. Who knew? Might be getting over your skis a little: they are only TALKING. They MIGHT do that, yes. I do NOT like Yemen thing, No. It’s POSSIBLE that farms collapse bc no one to do Federal paperwork, yes. But SHOW ME. It’s been 9 weeks.

    Problem is, we see headlines, we have NO IDEA AT ALL WHAT’S GOING ON behind the scenes. Every day they mouth off for something to keep the press chasing their tails like morons, then send secret diplomatic-speak to hammer out REAL issues the Press would want to know and scandalize in order to derail any and all peace.

    Here was my point to Garland though: YOU are not the audience. Trump NEEDS this to happen. NEEDS US, the WORLD, to see that Zelensky will blow up any peace seen, with every missile he can find. You wouldn’t believe us only last week, “He doesn’t want peace” and we’re like “Sure he does, that’s just OMB exaggeration.” No, LITERALLY, read my lips, he will blow up ANY peace, however small, if he has to club a roomful of kittens to do it. Like LITERALLY the FBI is running an op to tap my phone. Not figuratively, not exaggerated, LITERALLY.

    Same with Europe. WHO are we convincing? No one would believe this is 100% Europe’s war, they are psychotic, deranged genocidal mass-murderers best backed away from slowly. NOW WE CAN SEE. Their level, tone, urgency, and willingness to sacrifice ALL LIVING CREATURES IN EUROPE, plus most of the planet, for what Cleetus the slack-jawed yokel knows is already lost, makes them certified insane, institutionalized, straightjacket nightmare fuel.

    So what’s the Plan? White Hats, America First ALREADY know the enemy is MI6/ London/World cartel. But how do you tell the PEOPLE that everything they believe and know about history is a lie? That London and Churchill WEREN’T the good guys in the war, and especially after, vs Stalin? That we’re “Just going to leave”, today, right now, this minute and NOT defend Europe again like our MYTHs of WWI and WWII? …Now you finally understand what anti-war isolationists said AT THE TIME, 1910, 1930, but were drowned out, then and much more since then.

    HOW, do you, “just leave”??? Top priority. Otherwise: END TO ALL LIFE ON EARTH.

    A: You do this. Let Ukraine, Europe, (Israel) talk. Act. Expose them, make them stand up and demonstrate who they really are. Then AMERICA goes, “These guys are NUTS! We’ve got to get OUT of there! Why we blowing a Trillion dollars??” Yes, we do. WEEEEE, know that. YOUUUUUU are the ones who need to know that, and support us.

    Nixon misses all this WHILE complaining that everybody’s trying to sabotage Trump, peace, by every means they can think of. If that’s True, sir, then you KNOW why he does what he’s doing.

    “• Putin and Trump Could Have Other Contacts Alongside With Official Ones

    If not, it would be the first time ever. Somehow people are newly surprised by 100% of the time “leaking” this.

    “and I think I’m going to be able to stop him..”

    Blah blah blah. He’s going to stop him because they both have the TRUTH. The way JFK suddenly had the TRUTH when he called Khrushchev on the phone. It was all scam, a lie. By middle men trying to invent it. TRUMP knows. PUTIN knows. That means they’re on the same page. Probably for years now. So since they are ALLIES in reality, it’s easy to “Stop” yourself, Us, We. All theatre.

    “A Black Sea maritime truce will be one of the top issues on the agenda”

    He means the OTAN/UK base in Odessa. 200 years later, England STILL running the same Crimean War IV. Never a single instant, all that time, Britain wasn’t killing someone.

    “This rampant militarist policy of Europe – there is no other way to describe it – is hard to comprehend..”

    Hahahaha! They so polite. No it isn’t.

    “All based on the narrative that Putin plans to overrun Europe. For which there is zero evidence.”

    Because Zero evidence, we can be sure Europe doesn’t actually believe this. That’s trash they feed the rubes, mouth breathing idiots in Paris. And since we know that is NOT the reason – at all – then we can presume there IS a reason, real and not said. A: THEY ARE GOING TO CHOP UP ALL RUSSIA AND EAT IT. Just as Estonia, Baerboch, Kallas, etc have said. For 40 years. There is only ONE Plan, and that is the Plan, Plan A, there is no other plan. They will do this or Die. …Challenge Accepted. Your terms are acceptable.

    ““Very few people know that there is a major political party in South Africa that is actively promoting white genocide,”
    • Musk Slams South Africa Over ‘White Genocide’ (RT)

    That’s false because I want it to be, because it would be a good talking point for your side and against mine. Therefore, logic dictates, it doesn’t exist. Ha ha! Winning is just so easy!

    I don’t bring it up because high-level stuff. The level at which you have to not be triggered is insane, but it’s very, very obvious, and very, very common in history.

    Tucker: how did you win? Cosman pointed out England “Won” this war they started to defend Poland by LOSING POLAND. And all the Eastern Europe, put behind the Iron Curtain, congratulations, geniuses. AND they lost the entire British Empire. #Winning! Tiger Blood! Churchill is awesome!

    The reason why I saw no to merit pay for public school teachers is *because* the children are the only people with true direct knowledge. Since they are immature, they can’t really understand the idea that “merit should mean more compensation.” As a result, if they are expected to evaluate their teachers’ merit, the children will inevitably be exploited by adults, (some well-intentioned, some less so.)

    Peer teachers could also evaluate to a degree — but because rating another teacher higher could mean lack of advancement for the individual, we inadvertently create a “Prisoner’s Dilemma” in the process.

    We’ve been trying to evaluate teachers by their students’ test scores for quite some time. However, this can lead to teachers preferring to work with brighter children, while it is the struggling children who need extra help. Also, education is a lot more than test scores — much of education is ignored by focusing on test scores.

    I had an honors social studies teacher in 8th grade who frequently won awards. He got his two honors classes to each write a bill for the state legislature, and got industry to pay the airfare to fly both classes to the state capital to lobby for one of the bills. In class, he belittled students. If they stuttered or said “um,” too frequently in a required verbal presentation, he publicly criticized them on the spot. Some students, in tears, could not finish the presentation, and received a very low grade. At the end of each year, he selected several of his students to receive an award that he had created — “The Taco Bell Award,” which he gave out to the students who, in his estimation, were most likely to never have a job that was better than a job at Taco Bell — basically, he was predicting which 13-year-olds would fail in life.

    But, oh, he racked in the awards.

    Reset With Russia https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/reset-with-russia

    Gilbert Doctorow, ‘Reset’ in relations with Russia: what are we actually talking about?
    Richard Nixon was the one and only Realist president in American history in the second half of the 20th century. His direct successor in that sense today is…Donald J. Trump.
    ​ When Richard Nixon spoke about what we today call ‘reset’ it was called ‘détente’ and it embraced all possible state-to-state, business-to-business and people-to-people relations. What Trump has in mind is an updated version of détente, embracing all issues that are of mutual interest to the United States and Russia. ALL ISSUES.
    ​ In my latest essays on the Trump-Putin phone call, I used ‘educated speculation’ to fill in the missing content, the content that is rightly being withheld from us because it is very delicate and must be discussed behind closed doors only. My best guess has been that the Russians have been heartened and have assumed a relationship of trust with Donald Trump because he shared with Putin his vision of all the directions in which a cooperative U.S. – Russian relationship may go. The only concrete indication that this was so came when President Trump said they had discussed among other things the Middle East. The Middle East? What connection does that have with the Ukraine war? There is no direct connection other than Trump’s obvious hope that the Russians can be useful to American diplomacy in that region in selected geography, such as in Syria. But it is indicative of the likely far-reaching discussions they held in two hours and twenty-eight minutes.
    ​ It is curious, of course, that Donald Trump’s usual point of reference in Republican hagiography is Ronald Reagan. But by his actions at present, I believe it is more relevant to say he is modeling himself on Richard Nixon, the greatest Realist in his party’s history.

    ‘Reset’ in relations with Russia: what are we actually talking about?

    Russia ‘100%’ doesn’t want to invade ‘Europe’ – Trump envoy​ The idea that Moscow would attack NATO is “preposterous,” Steve Witkoff has said
    https://swentr.site/news/614614-russia-doesnt-want-invade-europe-witkoff/

    ​ Negotiations Continue to Go Nowhere as Europe Bashes Head Against Wall​ 3/23/2025
    ​ The next go-around of negotiations has concluded today between the Ukrainian and American sides in Riyadh. It’ll be the Russians’ turn with the Americans in the same place tomorrow, where Ukraine’s positions from today’s meeting will be conveyed.
    ​ The most fascinating part of these developments is that on their eve, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff made a number of compelling statements on his media circuit. It provided some of the first glimpses of a real possibility of the US reconciling with Russia’s operative framework of the war. Most significantly, he implied that the US is on board with Russia taking not just Crimea, but all the newly annexed regions…
    ..Witkoff demonstrated this in his talk with Tucker Carlson, wherein he called for Russia and the US to work together—a proposal that strikes so discordantly against previous US approaches that it’s nearly surreal to hear…
    ..Witkoff relayed an unexpected level of commiseration between Putin and Trump, stating that Putin prayed for Trump after the shooting, and commissioned a portrait for him as a gift…
    ..Of particular interest were simultaneous reports that Russia would allegedly end the conflict if the currently demanded regions were recognized, but with one big kicker… The kicker?
    ​ In return for recognition and if it happened “in the near future”, Kommersant said Putin would undertake not to lay claim to the Ukrainian port city of Odesa and other Ukrainian territory.​..
    ..In the meanwhile, Europe continues to hold ‘summits’, which time and again embarrassingly come to naught…
    ​..The EU has stopped the discussion on the confiscation of frozen Russian assets. This is evidenced by the text of the EU summit conclusions of March 20.
    “In accordance with EU law, Russian assets should remain frozen until Russia stops its war of aggression against Ukraine and compensates it for the damage caused by this war,” said the text adopted by EU leaders…
    ​..Shortly afterwards, Macron effectively rejected Starmer’s more heavy-handed and belligerent ‘boots-on-ground’ plan, preferring to explore a more—how shall we say—strictly legal, and not off-putting, way to backstop the AFU with European troops. Starmer was getting increasingly gung-ho to the point Macron apparently got cold feet, and realized just how far outside ‘international law’ he was careening. Also, the plan was primarily doomed by US’ refusal to give security guarantees to the Europeans, in the event Russia begins shooting at them.​..
    ..Now they seek to explore a “UN”-sanctioned peacekeeping force, but the idea was quickly shot down by Zelensky himself…
    ..In short, the game has become clearer than ever: Russia and the US are working on ending the conflict by acknowledging first principles, and Ukraine and the UK seek to sabotage the peace in any way possible, in order to prolong the war and bleed Russia for as long as possible. Why? Because the longer the conflict can be prolonged, the greater the possibility of interlacing it with a broader one, by inciting Russia to attack the Baltics.​..
    ..With the recent flood of videos showing trains and convoys of military gear traversing Romania toward Ukraine, it’s clearer than ever why “democracy” was aborted to oust Georgescu.​..
    ..Imagine that the US accepts Russian demands of stopping arms flows to Ukraine—but what good would that do if the UK and rest of Europe continue sending arms? Should Russia allow a ceasefire just on account of US’ arms halting, while nothing on the ground actually changes, due to European arms still flooding into Ukraine? From Russia’s perspective, it makes no sense—and as such, it means the UK has both sides by the stones, unless Trump finds such leverage as to even get UK to fall in line.​..
    ​..Trump’s plan, for now, appears to include enticing Ukraine in handing over all its nuclear power plants to US control, which would ‘keep them safe’ from Russian attack, or so goes the claim.​ With such ploys, it’s difficult to discern naked imperialism from thoughtful plans to woo Zelensky into peace.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/negotiations-continue-to-go-nowhere

    ​ Waltz Reveals Topics Of US-Russia Meeting As It Kicks Off In Riyadh
    ​ At this point the talks between the US and Ukrainian delegations have concluded (as of Sunday night), and up next is the separate meeting with the Russians, which has begun Monday.
    ​ “We’re moving closer and we’re closer to peace than we ever have been,” Walz told CBS’ Face the Nation. “And now we have technical teams, actually, with Ukrainians and Russians at the same facility, conducting proximity talks.”
    ​ That’s when he revealed a major new focus of negotiations for the Monday talks. “We now going to talk about a Black Sea maritime ceasefire so that both sides can move grain fuel and start conducting trade again in the Black Sea,” Walz described.
    ​ Reaching a lasting ceasefire deal would allow both warring countries to “move grain, fuel, and start conducting trade” in the sea again, he said.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/waltz-reveals-topics-us-russia-talks-they-kick-riyadh

Investigators have uncovered $115 billion so far with many hundreds of billions more to be exposed. Dowd says, “Both sides of the aisle are probably going to have problems…” ..”The DOGE revelations are mind shocking. The clear way in which the government was spending money through NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and people taking kickbacks and profits along the way is going to come out. There may have been theft along the way. What business does Stacy Abrams have getting $2 billion for an NGO? This doesn’t make any sense.” … ..”This is the all-in cost up and down the entire economic food chain. . . . It was anywhere between $500 billion to $1.5 trillion depending on the illegals. It was an illegal project funded purposely, and it was very logistical. It was not something that just happened overnight.” The result, says Dowd, was the US economy was propped up when it should have already tanked. Now, all this spending on this illegal invasion is going away. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ed-dowd-fears-short-deep-recession-coming-doge-exposes-mind-shocking-fraud-propped-bidens

    The parents of the 6-year-old West Texas child who died in a hospital after testing positive for measles shared their story with Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Polly Tommey and Brian Hooker, Ph.D., in a live interview recorded Saturday in Seminole, Texas.

    The parents looked at one another as they tried to remember.
    ​ “I don’t know,” the mother said. “I just remember before they wanted to put her on the ventilator that she was very thirsty. She was very thirsty. Her mouth was all sticky and I wanted to give her water, but they didn’t let me.”

    ..While the parents were driving, the hospital staff called again, asking if they could put the child on life support because “that was probably the only thing that could save her life at this point,” the mother said.

    Kurt Schlichter’s calm and careful explanation of what’s-what (in the real world) to
    the profoundly stupid Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts is the most eloquently brazen death threat that I have ever read.

    Schlicter is telling Roberts, publicly in broad daylight, that if Roberts does not desist from misusing the Courts to block the Executive from doing its job, that Donald Trump will use men with guns (cops and soldiers) to physically remove him. People get hurt all the time when such things are done.

    Wow! You don’t see that kind of gauntlet thrown down very often. Take note. This is a red-letter day.

    So, what do you think, John? End of Days, or something more, shall we say, “nuanced”? (I think we’ve missed out on a lot of true history which would add tremendous “nuance” to the partially revealed new data that we’re just now starting to get.

    D: it’s okay. It’s not “3000x” stupid is as stupid does.

    Hegseth lied??? But not about his disqualifications for office National Guard boy.

      The first direct challenge to this corporatization of Trump’s warmaking followed a leak from Pentagon officials last week that Elon Musk had arranged with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to receive a personal, top-secret briefing on the “U.S. military’s plan for any war that might break out with China.” The leak appeared in the New York Times on March 20; Musk then appeared the next day at the Pentagon, but he was restricted to a 30-minute handshake with Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth. The war plan briefing was cancelled.

      Hegseth then hurried to the White House to join Trump in a press briefing. “Certainly,” Trump said, “you wouldn’t show it [China war plan] to a businessman who is helping us so much… Elon has businesses in China, and he would be susceptible perhaps to that.” Standing next to Trump, Hegseth claimed the newspaper report was a “fake story…meant to undermine whatever relationship the Pentagon has with Elon Musk.” The Defense Secretary was lying.

      The episode also reveals that Trump’s chief of staff, Susan Wiles, a corporate lobbyist, is unable or unwilling to control either Musk or other subordinates and associates of the President from exploiting their relationship with Trump to advance their personal and corporate interests. In Landau’s restatement to the Senate, these interests aren’t conflicts – they are “commercial statecraft”, and that now includes bribery and corruption.

      “On the one hand, this is an example of just how chaotic things are in Washington,” comments a US source in a position to know. “How did Trump not know about Musk’s planned attendance at the Pentagon meeting, or did he know and was playing dumb? Hegseth’s behaviour suggests he’s on the take from Musk or that he understands how much power Musk has with Trump, and that he cannot cross Musk for fear of what Trump will do to him.”

    My statin experience. Started about 3 yrs ago. I was skeptical then. Any muscle pain or reduced focus and I stopped and waited for my primary to try another. she gave up. turned me over to my cardiologist. He tried starting with a low dose and left to me to go up or down as i wanted. that worked for a few months. The reduced focus returned. I cant afford that. The statin was one that does not cross the brain boundry. I said I dont care. Its a problem. I go back next month. I figured it out. Its not the statins directly. Its the reduced cholesterol. The whole premise of statins is crap. You need cholesterol.

    @Poppie: I posted this on 4/5/23 https://www.johndayblog.com/2023/04/holding-wrong-end.html

    ​ ​Effective management of atherosclerosis progress and hyperlipidemia with nattokinase: A clinical study with 1,062 participants
    ​ ​Nattokinase (NK), known as a potent fibrinolytic and antithrombotic agent, has been shown to have antiatherosclerotic and lipid-lowering effects. However, data on human clinical studies are limited. In this clinical study involving 1,062 participants, our objective was to examine the efficacy of NK in atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia and safety at the dose of 10,800 FU/day after 12 months of oral administration. Various factors, including lower doses that influence NK pharmacological actions, were also investigated.
    ​ ​We found that NK at a dose of 10,800 FU/day effectively managed the progression of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia with a significant improvement in the lipid profile. A significant reduction in the thickness of the carotid artery intima-media and the size of the carotid plaque was observed. The improvement rates ranged from 66.5 to 95.4%. NK was found to be ineffective in lowering lipids and suppressing atherosclerosis progression at a dose of 3,600 FU/day. The lipid-lowering effect of NK was more prominent in subjects who smoked, drank alcohol, and subjects with higher BMI. Regular exercise further improved the effects of NK. Co-administration of vitamin K2 and aspirin with NK produced a synergetic effect. No noticeable adverse effects associated with the use of NK were recorded.
    ​ ​In conclusion, our data demonstrate that atherosclerosis progression and hyperlipidemia can be effectively managed with NK at a dose of 10,800 FU/day. The lower dose of 3,600 FU per day is ineffective. The dose of 10,800 FU/day is safe and well tolerated. ​ ​Some lifestyle factors and the coadministration of vitamin K2 and aspirin lead to improved outcomes in the use of NK.

    John Day, 2 things central to your post. nattokinase and the progression of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia. Lets look first at progression. Your post indicates confirmation. Statins are handed out like candy with no confirmation. The work I had done on my heart for a birth defect confirmed essentially no progression at age 57. no blockage. No hardening. 10 years later the statistics used to proscribe statins had drifted down to catch me. My doctor insisted I need statins. Nattokinase. Very interesting. It implies an improved distribution of cholesterol.

    @Poppie: If you have clean coronary arteries you are golden.
    Do read the Midwestern Doctor article about statins to be best-informed, please.
    Make sure you have plenty of vitamin-D and vitamin K2 in your circulation. Hearts and blood vessels like that.
    Avoid seed oils, aka “vegetable oil”, but consider butter, olive oil and coconut oil to be better, since low in Linoleic Acid.
    This is general dietary advice, not medical advice.
