HUMAN FREEDOM INDEX

The Human Freedom Index presents the state of human freedom in the world based on a broad measure that encompasses personal, civil, and economic freedom. Human freedom is a social concept that recognizes the dignity of individuals and is defined here as negative liberty or the absence of coercive constraint. Because freedom is inherently valuable and plays a role in human progress, it is worth measuring carefully. The Human Freedom Index is a resource that can help to more objectively observe relationships between freedom and other social and economic phenomena, as well as the ways in which the various dimensions of freedom interact with one another.

The report is co​published by the Cato Institute and the Fraser Institute.

Propaganda and Censorship Dominate the Information War

Most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by three global news agencies — The Associated Press (AP), Reuters and Agence France-Presse (AFP)

Until or unless at least one of these news agencies sends out a notice, national and local media are unlikely to report on an event. Even photos and videos are typically sourced directly from these global news agencies. This way, people hear, see and read the exact same message everywhere

Intelligence agencies and defense ministries are well aware of the power of these news agencies and use them with regularity. In 2009, then-president of the AP, Tom Curley, let it slip that the U.S. Pentagon has more than 27,000 PR specialists that spin up stories, and an annual propaganda budget of nearly $5 billion

The rest of the technocratic apparatus uses these news agencies in the same way and for the same reasons — to proliferate certain narratives while burying or “debunking” others

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is partnered with a censorship consortium called the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). Through this consortium, the DHS is illegally censoring Americans

Didn’t Take Long: Crushed Bug ‘Additive’ Being Fed To Kids Across The EU

As of yesterday, a food additive made out of powdered crickets began appearing in foods from pizza, to pasta to cereals across the European Union.

Yes, really.

Defatted house crickets are on the menu for Europeans across the continent, without the vast majority of them knowing it is now in their food.

“This comes thanks to a European Commission ruling passed earlier this month,” reports RT.

“As per the decision, which cited the scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, the additive is safe to use in a whole range of products, including but not limited to cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder.”

But don’t worry, because the crickets first have to be checked to make sure they “discard their bowel content” before being frozen.

Lovely stuff.

Critics suggested that once bugs become widely accepted as a food additive, their consumption will become normalized across the board.

“The Liberal World Order has decided that the little people must eat bugs to prevent the climate from fluctuating, in accordance with ruling class ideology,” writes Dave Blount.

“Yet rather than mindlessly obey The Experts as most did with Covid policy, people have resisted. So our moonbat overlords are furtively sneaking insects into food.”

“This will allow them to reveal in the near future that we have already been eating bugs, so there is no reason to object to them shutting down farms and imposing a new diet.”

The European Union also recently approved the use of Alphitobius diaperinus, otherwise known as the lesser mealworm, for human consumption.

European Commission Approves 2 More Insect Species as ‘Food’ for Humans

The European Commission recently approved two more insect species for human consumption in the region, even after acknowledging concerns about the bugs triggering allergies, as the World Economic Forum (WEF) is extensively promoting insects as a source of protein for people.

“The Commission has authorized the placing on the market of a fourth insect, Alphitobius diaperionus (lesser mealworm), as a food. The term ‘lesser mealworm’ refers to the larval form of Alphitobius diaperinus, an insect species that belongs to the family of Tenebrionidae (darkling beetles),” the EC’s authorization web page reads.

The European Commission also authorized partially defatted powder obtained from house crickets as a “novel food.” The European Union defines novel food as food that hasn’t been consumed to a significant degree by human beings within the region prior to May 15, 1997.

“The novel food consists of the frozen, paste, dried, and powder forms of house cricket. It is intended to be marketed as a food ingredient in a number of food products for the general population.”

The WEF has been pushing for the adoption of insects as food for human beings, arguing that they should be used as a replacement for animal proteins because of their low ecological footprint and supposed ability to reduce climate change.

Report: George Soros Funds Global ‘Fact Checking’ Empire

Over the past few years, a cottage industry of “fact checkers” and “misinformation” experts has emerged to advance the left’s mission of silencing dissent to its agenda around the world. Analysis of the funding of these organizations leads back to a familiar figure: left-wing billionaire George Soros.

The New York Post broke down the trail of Soros dollars linking a global network of organizations intent on suppressing and discrediting conservative voices online.

Russia Scoffs at Biden’s Ukraine Tank Giveaway: They ‘Burn Just Like All the Others’

The government of Russia dismissed the potential on Tuesday of a shipment of dozens of American tanks, promised by left-wing President Joe Biden, to change the momentum of its invasion of Ukraine, suggesting they would “burn just like all the others.”

Top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday, following Biden’s announcement, that the plan to equip Ukraine with tanks in anticipation of the ground in the country thawing in spring was “disastrous.”

Ethiopia: Ethnic Violence Erupts After Civil War Resolution

Ethiopia’s Addis Standard on Wednesday reported that dozens of civilians have been killed in clashes in the Oromo Special Zone of the Amhara region.

Local officials blamed “anti-peace forces” for attacking regional and federal security troops, while residents of a devastated town called Senbete blamed the armed forces for indiscriminately attacking civilians. Federal troops have been dispatched to restore order.

Palestinians Cut Security Ties with Israel over Killing of Nine Terrorists

In a dramatic announcement, the Palestinian Authority on Wednesday said it was terminating security coordination with Israel after the IDF killed nine Palestinians – eight of whom were terrorists – in a raid in Jenin.

The U.S. responded that the move to stop coordination was “not the right decision.”

Brian Kemp Declares State of Emergency After Anti-Police Riots, Activates Georgia National Guard

Gov. Brian Kemp (R) declared a temporary state of emergency in Georgia on Thursday and activated 1,000 Georgia National Guard troops in response to recent anti-police protests and destructive riots in Atlanta.

Kemp’s order referenced protests and riots that occurred on Saturday, which had stemmed from ongoing demonstrations against a police training facility the city is building in a wooded area of metro Atlanta.

Texas to Build New 30-Foot Border Wall in Laredo Sector

The Texas Facilities Commission awarded a $224 million contract to build nearly ten miles of 30-foot border wall segments on private or state-owned properties along the Rio Grande in Webb County.

The Fisher Sand and Gravel Company received the award of the $224 million contract to build approximately 9.4 miles of state-funded border walls. The state has already negotiated property access for 5.4 miles of the project.

Internal DHS Emails Sound Alarm: Illegal Aliens Assaulting Agents, Trying to Escape from Custody

Border crossers and illegal aliens have attempted “escaping” from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody and tried “to overrun drivers,” among other things, agency emails reveal.

The emails, obtained by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, shed light on the chaotic day-to-day operations that agents must deal with at the U.S.-Mexico border since President Joe Biden implemented an expansive Catch and Release network.

Chinese Spy on Student Visa Who Enlisted in U.S. Army Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison

A Chinese spy on an F-1 student visa, who enlisted in the United States Army, has been sentenced in federal court after being convicted last year.

Ji Chaoqun, a 31-year-old Chinese national who arrived in the U.S. on a student visa, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison this week for spying for China, the Department of Justice announced.

IRS Says Many Americans Can Expect Smaller Tax Refund in 2023

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has cautioned that many taxpayers should expect a smaller refund this tax season because of tax law changes including the expiration of pandemic-related stimulus payments that would otherwise have boosted refund balances.

“Due to tax law changes such as the elimination of the Advance Child Tax Credit and no Recovery Rebate Credit this year to claim pandemic-related stimulus payments, many taxpayers may find their refunds somewhat lower this year,” the IRS said in a press release on Jan. 23, the day the agency began tax returns for 2022 earnings.

While not all tax filers will see lower refunds as individual circumstances vary, many will see smaller checks.

25 People Charged in Fake Nursing Diploma Operation After Multi-State Law Enforcement Action

Around 25 people have been charged for their roles in a huge coordinated scheme to sell false and fraudulent nursing degree diplomas and transcripts to aspiring nurses, the Department of Health and Human Services’s Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) announced on Jan. 25.

HHS-OIG and its law enforcement partners conducted a “multi-state coordinated law enforcement action” dubbed “Operation Nightingale” using search warrants across Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Florida, to arrest about 25 individuals who were allegedly part of the fraud, according to a press release.

The scheme involved the individuals selling fake and fraudulent nursing degree diplomas and transcripts obtained from accredited Florida-based nursing schools to aspiring registered nurses, licensed nurse practitioners, and vocational nurse candidates.

According to officials, those who acquired the fake nursing credentials used them to qualify to sit for the national nursing board exam that is needed to obtain a nursing license in the United States.

After passing the exam, the individuals were able to obtain the licenses and take nursing jobs in various states, officials said.

The scheme involved the distribution of more than 7,600 fake nursing diplomas and transcripts by three South Florida-based nursing schools: Siena College in Broward County, Palm Beach School of Nursing in Palm Beach County, and Sacred Heart International Institute in Broward County, HHS-OIG said.

The three schools are now closed.

No ‘Right to Shelter’ for ‘Asylum Seekers,’ NYC Mayor Says

Migrants who arrived in New York City from southern border states are not entitled to benefits offered by the city’s “right to shelter” policy, Mayor Eric Adams said on Wednesday.

Speaking on WABC’s “Sid & Friends” radio show, the Democratic mayor was asked if he would ever consider ending New York City’s status as a “sanctuary city,” given that his administration struggles to accommodate the needs of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have been arriving by bus from border states since last spring.

“We cannot be a sanctuary city and complain,” said host Sid Rosenberg, citing criticisms about the city’s handling of the ongoing illegal immigration crisis. “You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be a sanctuary city and then complain about the influx of migrants.”

“The court ruled that this is a sanctuary city,” Adams replied. “We have a moral and legal obligation to fulfill that.”

“We don’t believe asylum seekers fall into the whole right-to-shelter conversation,” Adams said, referring to a 1979 law that requires the city’s homeless shelter system to provide a bed to anyone in need of one. “This is a crisis that must be addressed based on what was created on this national platform.”

77 Democratic Lawmakers Author Letter Criticizing Biden’s Handling of Border Crisis

Two days after President Joe Biden met with Democratic congressional lawmakers, 77 of those elected officials sent a letter on Jan. 26 urging him to reverse plans to limit asylum access and eligibility on the U.S.–Mexico border.

The letter illustrates the divide among Democrats about how the Biden administration should handle the illegal immigration crisis.

Earlier in January, the Biden administration released a comprehensive plan designed to significantly decrease illegal border crossings, announcing that immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela will be returned to Mexico under Title 42 if they illegally enter the country. The plan also provides legal immigration opportunities for vulnerable asylum seekers and migrants with U.S. sponsors.

‘This Won’t Stand’: Senators Say Biden Officials Are ‘Stonewalling’ Access to Classified Documents

Anger and frustration were the feelings expressed by bipartisan members of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Jan. 25 over a lack of access to the classified documents found in the homes of President Joe Biden, former President Trump, and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Speaking with reporters at the Capitol after a classified briefing with National Intelligence Director Avril Haines, Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) asserted that the Biden administration had been blocking their oversight efforts.

“It is our responsibility to make sure that we, in the role of the intelligence oversight, know if there’s been any intelligence compromised,” Warner noted.

Members of Congress have sought access to the materials—or at least a risk assessment detailing the information they contained—since the discovery of documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last summer. But they say the administration has objected, arguing they can’t provide that access as two special counsels at the Justice Department (DOJ) are investigating Trump and Biden’s mishandlings of the documents.

Rubio, however, said the administration’s position was “untenable,” noting, “The information we’re asking for has no bearing whatsoever or would interfere in no way with a criminal investigation.”

It also defies precedent, the senators argued, as during the DOJ’s Russia investigation, committees were given access to the classified materials that were part of then-special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

DeSantis violated Florida Constitution by suspending prosecutor, but federal court can’t act, judge says

A federal judge in Florida has ruled that the 11th Amendment prevents him from ordering the reinstatement of a reform prosecutor suspended by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

U.S. District Judge Robert L. Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida said DeSantis was motivated mostly by two factors when he suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, Florida. DeSantis hoped to benefit politically, and he wanted to bring down a reform-minded prosecutor, said Hinkle in his Jan. 20 order.

Suspending Warren based on those factors violated the Florida Constitution, Hinkle said. But Hinkle said he lacked authority to issue an injunction based on a violation of only Florida law.

DeSantis had said he was acting under a state constitutional provision that allows the suspension of prosecutors for “neglect of duty” when he suspended Warrant without pay in August 2022. And he didn’t specifically cite either of the two factors that Hinkle deemed to be crucial to DeSantis’ decision.

DeSantis said he was objecting to Warren’s decision to sign two joint statements issued by Fair and Just Prosecution, a group that focuses on organizing, training and promoting elected prosecutors. One criticized bills that criminalize medical treatments for transgender people. The other statement pledged to “exercise our well-settled discretion and refrain from prosecuting those who seek, provide or support abortions.”

Warren later said in a television interview he would exercise discretion on whether to prosecute abortion cases, and he would follow court decisions on Florida’s 15-week abortion ban, Hinkle said.

Top FDA Safety Official Frank Yiannas Resigns

A top Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety official resigned this week because of concerns about the agency’s oversight structure and the infant formula shortage.

Frank Yiannas, deputy commissioner for food policy and response since 2018, told FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf that he’s leaving the agency in February.

“Today, I informed Commissioner Califf that I will be resigning my position as Deputy Commissioner for the Office of Food Policy and Response effective February 24,” Yiannas wrote on Twitter. “I am honored to have served the American public, alongside each and every one of you, over these past four years.”

Yiannas’s notice comes less than a week before Califf is expected to release a response to a scathing report calling for an overhaul of the way the agency regulates human and animal foods. Currently, no single official has full oversight of the FDA’s sprawling food operations.

The FDA issued a statement on Jan. 25 that praised Yiannas for his service on the panel. His work has helped “create a safer and more digital, traceable food system for our country.”

“The FDA remains committed to providing an update on steps to strengthen the Human Foods Program at the end of January and additional updates on the organizational structure, including how responsibilities of Mr. Yiannas’ position will be handled moving forward, by the end of February,” the FDA statement reads.

Those UV lamps nail salons use? Researchers say they can permanently change your DNA

It’s routine for people all over the country: a nail tech paints your nails and motions for you to stick your hands into a UV lamp to dry.

The dryers have lamps or LEDs that emit UV or ultraviolet radiation, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego wanted to better understand how the dryers and the radiation they emit impact the body, so they exposed human and mouse cells to UV rays from a gel polish lamp and analyzed how the UV rays changed them.

Maria Zhivagui, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California San Diego who worked on the study, said the team wanted to address a public health concern.

The team found that radiation emitted by UV-nail polish dryers can permanently damage DNA but said future studies are needed to determine the relationship between the dryers and skin cancer.

Combat Arthritis Pain With These Foods

Arthritis is a general term that refers to more than 100 different types of arthritis and related conditions; the four most common categories are osteoarthritis, autoimmune inflammatory arthritis, infectious arthritis and gout

Small food choices can significantly impact pain from arthritis. For example, choosing cruciferous vegetables that are high in sulforaphane, an organic sulfur that supports cell function, helps block the enzymes linked to joint destruction and lowers inflammation that drives pain

Anthocyanins found in purple and red-colored berries lower oxidative stress and inflammation and support gastrointestinal health, which is crucial to lowering inflammation and improving pain control

Marine-based fatty fish are rich in long-chained omega-3 fats that are highly bioavailable and essential to lower the inflammatory response driven by an imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 fats

Let’s Spice Up Your Food

Bland food is never fun to eat. But did you know that by adding a few spices you may reduce your pain level? Researchers have discovered that garlic, ginger, cinnamon and turmeric are compounds that may improve pain control in people with arthritis.

Rents Spike for Americans as Biden’s Migrants Fill Apartments

Half of American renters — or 25 million people — now spend more than 30 percent of their pre-tax income on housing amid President Joe Biden’s wage-cutting, rent-spiking welcome for mass migration.

“The national average rent-to-income (RTI) reached 30% for the first time in our 20+ years of tracking history, up 1.5% from year-ago,” said a housing report by the Wall Street firm of Moody’s Analytics.

GOP Senators Introduce Plan to End Permanent U.S. Free Trade with China

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), joined by Sens. Ted Budd (R-NC), Rick Scott (R-FL), and J.D. Vance (R-OH), introduced a plan to end the United States’ decades-long, job-killing free trade status with China.

In 2001, China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) with the backing of former President Bush’s administration and was subsequently awarded “permanent normal trade relations status” by the U.S. after congressional approval.


‘Robots are treated better’: Amazon warehouse workers stage first-ever strike in the UK

Hundreds of Amazon

 workers are on strike in Britain. The walkout marks the first formal industrial action in the country for the U.S. tech giant.

The 24-hour strike action began Wednesday a minute after midnight. Strikers are expected to picket outside the company’s site in Coventry in central England throughout the day.

At 6 a.m. London time, workers were pictured camping by a bonfire and waving union flags outside the Coventry site near Birmingham airport, known as BHX4.

Southwest Airlines Discloses Impact of Late 2022 Meltdown, Outlook for 2023

Southwest Airlines suffered a fourth-quarter loss of $200 million because of an operational meltdown in late December 2022. But the Dallas-based company still ended 2022 with a net income, according to the company’s Jan. 26 statement.

Even so, the company projects that the first quarter of 2023 will result in a net loss, “based on current revenue and cost trends,” CEO Bob Jordan said in the statement.

That statement, detailing financial results, was posted just hours before a live webcast was scheduled with investors at 12:30 p.m. EST. It also followed the U.S. Department of Transportation’s statement about its investigation of the airline’s “unrealistic scheduling” of flights as a winter storm approached.

Artificial Intelligence Could Make These Jobs Obsolete: ‘Not Crying Wolf’

With reports saying artificial intelligence system ChatGPT has passed exams and can produce reports, experts have warned that some jobs could become obsolete in the future.

Earlier this week, a research paper said ChatGPT was able to pass a graduate-level exam at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Some professors have expressed alarm about students using the service to cheat on exams or their homework.

But if the system becomes capable, ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence could replace a number of white-collar jobs, some researchers have warned.

AI is replacing the white-collar workers. I don’t think anyone can stop that,” Pengcheng Shi, an associate dean in the department of computing and information sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology, told the New York Post on Wednesday. “This is not crying wolf,” Shi added. “The wolf is at the door.”

Jobs in the financial sector, health care, publishing, and other industries are vulnerable, Shi said. But people, he added, will be able to learn how to harness AI technology.

Making Garlic Powder – How to dry your garlic for homemade garlic powder!

The flavor of homemade garlic powder is unbeatable—it truly tastes like garlic that has just been picked from the garden (and nothing like that prepackaged stuff). But it’s ready to be used all year long! See how to dry garlic to make your own garlic powder! 

A lot of commercial garlic powder is pretty bad in terms of quality; it doesn’t even smell or taste like garlic and can have an unpleasant aftertaste. Some producers don’t even bother removing the skin plus there isn’t FDA regulation around commodity spices so it’s difficult to know what’s truly inside the bottle. Unless you buy local garlic, many of the garlic bulbs sold in stores have gone past their peak (rubbery or soft) and have lost much of their medicinal value. 

Dried garlic powder has a different purpose than raw garlic; it’s mellower and milder to enhance flavor versus the sharp taste of garlic in a main dish. Ideally, you could grow your own garlic, as it’s easy to plant your own bulbs in the fall. Otherwise, we do recommend buying local garlic bulbs for the freshest flavor if you can.

>> For those who wish to garden, garlic bulbs are popped into the soil in the fall and harvested in the summer once the leaves turn yellow-brown.  See how to prepare your soil in our Garlic Growing Guide.

From The Seed Guy: BEES ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR GARDENS

It’s January 24th, and lots of snow falling today through the U.S. from this latest storm, but Spring isn’t that far off. When you get your Heirloom Seeds this year, please Order a few Herb or Flower varieties to Help Attract, Feed and Save Our Bees. They are so important to us, and every plant helps their survival.

Many of your vegetables won’t get pollinated, or grow fruit or produce Seed, without Honey Bees visiting your Garden. What is happening is we are losing a big percentage of our Bee population from pesticides commercial farms are using, and in some places the loss of habitat that they feed from.

Bees are equipped with very tiny hairs on their bodies and legs. When a bee lands on a flower, pollen will stick to these hairs, and then when the bee moves to another flower, the pollen gets transferred– pollinating the bloom. This pollination is required for many Garden Vegetables, such as some okra, beans, squash, cucumbers and many more. With out this pollination most vegetables will never set fruit, and that would be bad news for your garden.

The best way to attract bees to your vegetable garden is to create an environment that bees will enjoy and visit. You can accomplish this by doing several things:

1) DON’T USE PESTICIDES– Most pesticides are not selective. You are killing off the beneficial bugs along with the pests. Try to grow Organic as possible. Companion Plants are great for this.

2) USE MORE NATIVE PLANTS– Research suggests native plants are four times more attractive to native bees. They are also usually well adapted to your growing conditions and can thrive with minimum attention. In gardens, heirloom varieties of herbs and perennials can also provide good foraging.

3) CHOOSE SEVERAL COLORS OF FLOWERS–Bees have good color vision to help them find flowers and the nectar and pollen. Flower colors that particularly attract bees are blue, purple, violet, white, and yellow.

4) TRY PLANTING FLOWERS IN CLUMPS– Flowers clustered into clumps of one species will attract more pollinators than individual plants scattered throughout your Garden.

5) HAVE DIVERSITY OF PLANTS THAT FLOWER ALL YEAR–Most bee species feed on a range of plants through their life cycle. By having several plant species flowering at once, and a succession of plants flowering through spring, summer, and fall, you can support a range of bee species that fly at different times of the season.

6) PLANT WHERE BEES WILL VISIT–Bees favor sunny spots over shade and need some shelter from strong winds.

Also, when your Dandelions pop up in Spring all over the yard, please don’t mow them right away, or spray them. They are the Bees first real food after a long Winter, and they need them for sustenance until all the other flowers start to bloom.

COVID RELATED NEWS

Project Veritas Stings Pfizer, Discovers ‘Directed Evolution’ Of Virus To Maximize Profits

Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations – mRNA Scientific Planner: “One of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it [COVID] ourselves so we could create — preemptively develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we’re gonna do that though, there’s a risk of like, as you could imagine — no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating f**king viruses.”

Walker: “Don’t tell anyone. Promise you won’t tell anyone. The way it [the experiment] would work is that we put the virus in monkeys, and we successively cause them to keep infecting each other, and we collect serial samples from them.”

Walker: “You have to be very controlled to make sure that this virus [COVID] that you mutate doesn’t create something that just goes everywhere. Which, I suspect, is the way that the virus started in Wuhan, to be honest. It makes no sense that this virus popped out of nowhere. It’s bullsh*t.”

Walker: “From what I’ve heard is they [Pfizer scientists] are optimizing it [COVID mutation process], but they’re going slow because everyone is very cautious — obviously they don’t want to accelerate it too much. I think they are also just trying to do it as an exploratory thing because you obviously don’t want to advertise that you are figuring out future mutations.”

Might Enzymes Help Blood Clotting Associated With COVID-19?

Aside from sepsis — which in one study was present in 59% of COVID-19 patients and 100% of those who died — blood clots also appear to be common in patients with severe COVID-19 disease

Abnormal coagulation is associated with poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19. According to one case report, 71.4% of patients who died of COVID-19 met the criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) while only 0.6% of patients who survived met that criteria

DIC refers to a systemic disorder that affects blood coagulation and can result in organ dysfunction and death. Prothrombotic DIC causes persistent blood clots. Sepsis is one of the most common causes of DIC

Doctors are divided when it comes to treatment of DIC. Some believe early administration of blood thinners is advisable, while other data suggest they don’t improve outcomes

Holistic prophylactic alternatives that might be beneficial against blood clots include proteolytic enzymes such as lumbrokinase, nattokinase and serrapeptase, all of which act as natural anticoagulants by breaking down the fibrin that forms the blood clot

Natural Clot-Busters Mentioned in this article are:

Nattokinase, produced by the bacteria Bacillus subtilis during the fermentation of soybeans to produce natto,41 is a strong thrombolytic,42 comparable to aspirin43,44 without the serious side effects.

It’s been shown to break down blood clots and reduce the risk of serious clotting45 by dissolving excess fibrin in your blood vessels,46 improving circulation and decreasing blood viscosity. Interestingly, in one in vitro study,47 the thrombolytic activity of equimolar amounts (meaning equivalent amounts) of nattokinase and tPA were found to be identical.

Serrapeptase, also known as serratiopeptidase, is a substance produced in the gut of newborn Bombyx mori silkworms that allows them to dissolve and escape from their cocoons.

Research48 has shown it can help patients with chronic airway disease, lessening viscosity of sputum and reducing coughing. Like lumbrokinase and nattokinase, serrapeptase breaks down fibrin. It also helps dissolve dead or damaged tissue without harming healthy tissue.

California’s COVID-19 Misinformation Law Blocked by Judge

California’s COVID-19 Misinformation Law Blocked by Judge

In Hoeg v. Newsom, five doctors alleged that the state law, AB 2098, is unconstitutional under the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The doctors, Tracy Hoeg, Ram Duriseti, Aaron Kheriaty, Pete Mazolewski, and Azadeh Khatibi, filed their lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials, including the president and members of the Medical Board of California. A separate related lawsuit, Hoang v. Bonta, makes similar allegations.

The doctors say the law prevents them from providing information to their patients that may contradict what the law permits or prohibits. They also alleged the law was used to intimidate and punish physicians who disagreed with prevailing views on COVID-19. Both lawsuits sought a preliminary injunction to prevent the state from enforcing the law.

Senior U.S. District Judge William Shubb, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in his ruling (pdf) it was plausible that the medical board would determine their conduct violates the state law and therefore the doctors’ fears are reasonable “given the ambiguity of the term ‘scientific consensus’ and of the definition of ‘misinformation’ as a whole.”

Shubb noted that this weighed in favor of the plaintiffs having standing.

Moderna Announces Trials Of mRNA Shot For Heart Attacks

First-Time Director Makes Award-Winning Feature Film for $9k, Secures Distribution

You may have seen his reporting on Breitbart News as Paul Bois but in the next two months audiences will know him as Director Paul Roland when they view his debut award-winning feature film, Exemplum, which carried a production cost of just $9,500 on a skeleton crew of four people.

Shot in 2020 and completed in 2022, Paul Bois recently secured distribution for Exemplum after a run on the festival circuit and the film will soon be available on Amazon and Google Play sometime in the next two months.
