Aliens…..and More…..

Since the release of the so-called UFO documents there has been a wealth of alien stories…..the conspiracists have come out of the woodwork.

This post is for me to cleanse all this bullshit out of my brain so I can go on with real stuff….sorry for the diversion…..

The United States government’s recent release of hundreds of previously classified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) cases spanning the 1940s to the present, along with the new Steven Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day, about extraterrestrial life, has fuelled the idea that aliens are visiting Earth.

In fact, polls in Australia, the US and elsewhere indicate around a third of the public believes aliens are here.

However, while what we know about the universe suggests aliens may exist, there are three compelling reasons why they probably aren’t visiting us.

The CIA and a message from space…..

A third batch of UFO files was released by the Pentagon on Friday morning.

The document drop included recorded NASA briefings after Apollo 16, which referred to an ‘alien starbase’ on the dark side of the moon. The comments were not included in the official transcript from the 1972 mission.

Among the most bizarre releases was a 1958 CIA memorandum discussing a phone conversation with a scientist regarding concerns about a destroyed ‘space message and its transmitter.’

The ‘first contact’ rules are now on the books…..

The moment of first contact with extraterrestrials is a staple of science fiction. It usually involves a frantic scientist having a Eureka moment, realising in a single dramatic instant that Earth is being visited by creatures from light-years away.

Aliens are in the public consciousness once again thanks to Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Disclosure Day, which follows a whistleblower’s attempts to reveal extraterrestrial visitations to the world.

In reality, the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence is far more likely to emerge as a faint anomaly in astronomical data, followed by a slow, painstaking process of verification, peer review and intense international deliberation. There might be no single Eureka moment, and no lone scientist with the answer.

As our telescopes have advanced, so too has the complexity of the world we live in. That is why a committee of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has just voted to accept a major overhaul of the “post-detection protocols” – the scientific code of conduct for what happens after we find evidence of life beyond Earth.

An exclusive….or so they would have people believe….

The latest release of shocking top secret Pentagon UFO files – after being buried for more than 40 years – reveal a string of terrifying encounters with extraterrestrials, including a perilous dogfight between 13 Russian-made military jets and a spacecraft with capabilities far beyond human comprehension.

The 338-page report was first sought in 1980 but remained classified as our own National Security Agency officials battled tooth and nail to delay its release for decades. RadarOnline.com can reveal the files were finally made public in May – and sources said more frightening details are to come.

Are You A ‘Cultural Marxist’?

To begin with the term ‘Marxist’ ought to send the more ignorant among us into some form of stroke mode…..but this is about culture more than the man…..but your IQ needs to be larger than your shoe size to differentiate.

Before we tackle this subject maybe a little background would help…..

1930s: originally denoting a theory that the oppression of the working class is effected through social and cultural means, developed by the Frankfurt School of social theorists.

(among some right-wing thinkers) a radical political ideology said to be promoted by left-wing activists with the aim of undermining or subverting western social and cultural institutions, ultimately resulting in the imposition of a progressive agenda on society.

Yes it is bullshit but that is what right wingers do best….spread manure.

Now for the meat of this post.

“Not to disparage David Bowie,” Alan Bennett remarked in 2016, “but if even a fraction of the tributes being paid to him and his influence were true, we would never have had a Conservative government.” Not to disparage Theodor Adorno, Jürgen Habermas and the other members of the Frankfurt School, but if they’d been one-millionth as potent as their detractors maintain, we would have had no Margaret Thatcher, no Ronald Reagan, no Liz Truss and no Donald Trump.

Yet, to hear some on the American far-Right tell it, “critical theory” – the Frankfurt School’s mash-up of Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche’s proto-existentialism – is responsible for everything that has gone wrong since the Second World War. Spoilt children, promiscuous teenagers, student radicals, transsexuals, rock ’n’ roll – each is the by-product of what the conservative activist Andrew Breitbart described as the Frankfurt ideology’s “adolescent rebellion against all rules and norms”.

What a load of claptrap, says the British historian AJA Woods. In The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy, he depicts a cult of wealthy American cranks and crackpots who kid each other that a few highbrow German-Jewish aesthetes managed to wreck Western civilisation. Certainly, the truth is more mundane: critical theory was just a logical extension of the highly moral form of literary criticism invented in Victorian England by Matthew Arnold at Oxford and carried on into the 20th century by F R Leavis at Cambridge.

Like Leavis and Arnold, the Frankfurters abhorred the rise of industrial capitalism. Unlike Leavis and Arnold, the Frankfurters were openly ideological. They were, to be precise, materialist Hegelians: they believed that, by melding their respective skill sets – philosophy, sociology, psychology, aesthetics – they could mint an entirely new and holistic explanation of history and society, premised on empirical grounds.

Looking For A Career Change?

In these unsettling days of employment flux many are looking for ways to make more money….I mean AI is taking jobs right and left…..college degrees are worthless and there has got to be a better way to earn a good living.

Well Bubba there is……the uber rich are concerned with their safety….the society seems to be getting more hostile to the Robber Barons with each passing week….

America’s richest are jittery, and a growing group of “meat shields” is cashing in. That’s the term one bodyguard-in-training uses in Grayson Schaffer’s deep dive into the industry for GQ. For the record, bodyguards use the term “protector,” though the leader of a team is usually the BG, or bodyguard. Whatever the term, more aspirants are flocking to executive-protection courses like the one run by Elijah Shaw, a former protector for 50 Cent and Usher who now trains others to keep billionaires, tech titans, celebrities, and politicians safe. Schaffer drops into Shaw’s weeklong Las Vegas class, where students practice pulling “principals” off the X, or point of attack, and learn that the job is more about advance work than gunplay.

The story zooms out to explain why business is booming: high-profile killings and attacks on CEOs, governors, figures such as Charlie Kirk, and even the president—all part of rising political violence as tracked by Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative. This trend of “stochastic terrorism” has corporate security budgets swelling. Shaw and his peers say the real work happens long before an attack, in mapping exits, anticipating threats, and swallowing ego. Trainees are reminded—repeatedly—that running away with the client beats winning a fight. The job, as one trainee puts it, is being a literal human buffer—an “oversized butler” with a plan.

Read the full story.

There you have it….you too can become a ‘meat shield” for the ultra wealthy….stand between them and a society that is slowly letting the hatred boil to a roar.

It is coming.  Do you want to stand between a fucker that cares little for your safety as long as he can make it to the bank on time.

A Pool Of A Different Color

There is so much happening in the world these days….the World Cup and Donny’s chaotic handling of Iran…..but the one issue that got my attention was this thing with the reflecting poll on the National Mall.

Donny trying to spruce the pool up for his big day on the  4th has been met with some hilarious outcomes.  The draining and painting of the poll did not go as planned….

President Trump says the trouble at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool isn’t just about naturally occurring algae and peeling paint—it’s vandalism. In a Friday Truth Social post, he claimed, without evidence, that “radical” opponents damaged the newly renovated pool and surrounding grass, an apparent reference to a recent incident in which “86 47” was carved into the National Mall lawn, a phrase that critics interpret as a call to oust the 47th president, per the Hill.

Trump said law enforcement is investigating and alleged that chemicals similar to those used on the grass were deployed to harm the pool’s freshly installed interior. The president also claimed that the algae is “75% gone” and that “the condition will soon be completely remedied.” More on the murky scene:

  • Citing satellite data, the Washington Post reports that the water in the pool contained more algae than at any other recorded time in June for at least the past five years. “The algae level was among the highest measured in any month in the past two years,” the paper adds.
  • Scientists tell NPR they’re not shocked over the development, with one professor of aquatic ecology noting that this type of algae is common in the area at this time of year, with the pool’s shallow, unmoving waters under zero shade providing optimum conditions for algae to thrive. A swimming pool specialist says the new, darker interior put in place during Trump’s renovation may have also contributed, as that darker color would absorb more sunlight.
  • Some are worried about one set of visitors in particular: ducks and their babies. Per the Daily Beast, while some experts say that the hydrogen peroxide being dumped into the pool to clear the algae won’t seriously impact the birds if it’s diluted enough, it’s not clear how strong the solution is that’s being used. Some observers have claimed online to have seen dead ducks in the water.
  • CBS News has details on the no-bid contract awarded to an Ohio company called Green Water Solutions to install a water filtration system in the pool, with the head of that firm said to be John J. Cafaro, a prominent GOP donor with two past convictions—including one for bribing a member of Congress—who’s has given money “extensively” to Trump’s campaign.
  • The lighter side to all of this? The jokes and memes that have been circulating over the green-tinged body of water. BuzzFeed has a bunch.

Now it is those sneaks at antifa that is destroying Donny’s big day….at first you don’t succeed then try again….

The saga of DC’s Reflecting Pool just won’t end. President Trump said Saturday night that he’ll likely have the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool emptied again, after paint began sloughing off the surface and algae appeared just days after a $14 million resurfacing project wrapped up. In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed “disgraceful Vandalism” for the problems and said “many additional people” have been arrested, reports CNN. His claims have not been verified by Park Police. (One person arrested Friday says he reached into the pool to touch a flap of peeling paint but didn’t vandalize anything.)

Trump asserted that vandals “took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade.” He also said they “poured corrosive and destructive chemicals” into the pool. Meanwhile, pool specialists tell the Washington Post that the problems look more like preparation or installation failures than sabotage, suggesting improperly treated surfaces or water intrusion under the lining.

This issue is fascinating just how the ‘brilliant’ mind of an idiot works.  Taxpayer money to the tune of $15 million+….

In case you would pre4fer more in-depth coverage….I can help….

Imaginary Treaties And Ceasefire Illusions

This saga will go on and on….the deal is on….the deal is off….the deal is back on….

Donny officially sign the new agreement between Iran and the US….but will this be just another treaty/agreement that the US and its ally Israel have no intention of honoring?

“A truce [between Lebanon and Israel] that has been in effect since April 17 has never been respected,” AFP reported. So what exactly is a cease-fire worth if the fighting continues? From Lebanon to Ukraine, cease-fires are announced with great fanfare and violated with remarkable speed. Yet politicians and commentators still speak as if a truce were the same thing as peace.
Donald Trump is one of the worst violators of this confusion. Trump’s claims to have ‘ended’ eight wars follow a familiar pattern. A cease-fire becomes peace, a negotiation becomes a deal, and a temporary pause in fighting becomes the end of a war. Trump’s declarations belie the underlying reality that the conflicts he refers to remain unsettled—much like a schoolyard fight is declared “over” the moment the children are pulled apart.

Did Trump really “end” eight wars? Are the underlying conflicts actually over? Lebanon remains unstable. Iran and Israel continue to exchange threats and attacks. Russia and Ukraine are still at war. The Houthis still fire missiles. Gaza remains unresolved. Kashmir remains disputed. The Democratic Republic of Congo remains violent. These claims often amount to relabelling partial stabilization, normalization, or temporary pause as a final resolution. If these wars were truly “ended” by Trump, nobody seems to have informed the combatants, civilians killed in the fighting, or the millions suffering and displaced.

Cease-fires are among the most celebrated and least understood achievements in modern diplomacy. They generate headlines, press conferences, handshakes, and declarations of success. (See the famous September 13, 1993, photo of Bill Clinton, Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat White House handshake from the Oslo peace process.) Many cease-fires are violated almost immediately. Some collapse within days. Others survive on paper long after they have ceased to exist in reality.
What is the value of the cease-fire? The New York Times headlined recently: “Israeli Strike Kills 3 Lebanese Soldiers, Days After Truce Was Signed.” While there may be benefits to agreements intended to halt fighting, the cease-fire glass appears not merely half-empty, but nearly drained. Too often, the promises are celebrated while the fighting continues.

…

A cease-fire can pause a war. It cannot resolve the conflict that produced it. What is often claimed as having “ended” a war is merely political branding. Only sustained diplomacy can turn a pause into a settlement.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/06/12/imaginary-peace-treaties-and-the-cease-fire-illusion/

This is nothing more than a feel good gesture by Donny.

Basically the ‘deal’ he will sign is the same ‘deal’ the Obama had with Iran so just what in god’s name was the war all about?

But what is Donny’s diplomatic strategy (if he has one)….

But the Iran war has shown Trumpian diplomacy colliding with a real world that does not always bend to his will or succumb to US displays of force. The real world, it seems, is more complex than he thought.

Hitherto, five elements have characterised Trump’s approach to diplomacy. First, he prefers to eschew the traditional institutions and mechanisms of diplomacy. The State Department languishes, the UN is ignored. Traditional alliances, multilateral organisations and international gatherings have been disdained, unless they provide a platform for Trump to demonstrate his power and “call the shots”.

Rather than use US ambassadors or diplomats to tackle international issues, Trump relies on a small cast of trusted personal envoys – including his son-in-law Jared Kushner, real-estate developer Steve Witkoff and Massad Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman who is father-in-law to his daughter Tiffany – to negotiate on his behalf. Even the secretary of state and national security advisor, Marco Rubio, is given a limited role, mainly in the western hemisphere.

Donny’s approach is amateurish and infantile at best….

Last Week At The Sh*t Show–21Jun26

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

We are getting closer to the big celebration to come….our 250th anniversary…..and while we countdown the days the idiots in Donny’s world are still show their stupidity.

Donny wants the 4th of July rally to be a Trump rally….

America’s 250th birthday party on the National Mall is assuming the feel of a rally for President Trump, according to the man himself. On Truth Social on Monday, Trump touted the July Fourth celebration as “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all,” reports the Washington Post, saying he’ll give keynote remarks at a “Tribute to America” staged between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. He promised military flyovers, airshows, and a soundtrack mixing patriotic standards with his own playlist. He plans to cap the evening with “the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY,” per the Hill, which notes that organizers are looking to set a Guinness World Record.

What can you expect from a person with no class?

Donny is a moron…..

During a press event at the Oval Office on Thursday, Donald Trump claimed that there are six states that are taking people’s children and forcing them to transition, leaving people wondering if Trump was lying or if he had lost his mind, since this is not happening anywhere.

“No men in women’s sports,” he said in the middle of his long, rambling response to a question about the SAVE America Act, which would restrict voter access. “We are talking about saving America. No men in women’s sports. Another one, very popular. I think it is 99-to-1… They say it is 80/20, I think it is 99-to-1.”

“And we have no mutilization of your children for transgender purposes. You see, transgender mutilization of your children? Does that sound good with you?” he asked someone standing behind him, who said, “Not at all.”

“Where your child leaves your house, and they take your child from you, in some cases… Think of it, in six states, they take the child and do what they want to do. What they do is, is- I don’t even want to talk about it! No transgender mutilization of your children.”

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/06/he-is-so-insane-claims-6-states-steal-children-force-transgender-mutilization-on-them/

There are those that will believe this crap from a proven liar.

We know the Donny and the GOP hate education and now a new attack…..

The Trump administration is continuing its efforts to dismantle the Education Department, reassigning critical oversight responsibilities for special education and civil rights to other federal bodies.

Under the new arrangement, the Department of Justice will assume civil rights enforcement in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will take charge of special education oversight. These transfers, announced on Tuesday, mean that the bulk of the Education Department’s functions have now been distributed across various other agencies.

In the GOP’s continuing to block out the stain of slavery…..

The Trump administration will be allowed to replace an exhibit on slavery at George Washington’s home in Philadelphia, a federal appeals court panel said on Thursday.

The ruling struck down a lower court decision that said the National Park Service must restore the exhibit, which it had torn down to comply with the president’s executive order last year on “restoring truth and sanity to American history.”

In January, NPS removed the six-panel outdoor display, which documented the lives of people enslaved by Washington during the fight for independence. It was unveiled in 2010 after years of community advocacy, WHYY reported.

“It was the grand opening of the first slave memorial of its kind on federal property in the history of the U.S. We thought it would last forever. But 15 years later, the destruction came,” activist Michael Coard said to NPR.

Philadelphia quickly sued the Interior Department to restore the exhibit, and won. U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe ordered the Trump administration to put the panels back up, comparing the administration’s efforts to those taken by the totalitarian government in George Orwell’s 1984.

Donny has been destroying black history from day one of this hold on power….and it will continue until it is a success.

Do you think the Donny is more powerful than Hitler?

NN’s Jamie Gangel discussed new reporting from The New York Times’ Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman that detailed an instance in which President Donald Trump allegedly bragged about being more powerful than Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin — citing a “historian” who turned out to be former professional golfer Gary Player’s caddie.

The snippet came from Swan and Haberman’s new book on the first 14 months of Trump’s first term, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.

“In March, Maggie and Jonathan Swan go to the Oval Office for a formal sit-down interview with the president,” explained Gangel. “He’s very proud that some presidential historian has given him this document, which he says shows he’s more powerful than Hitler and Stalin and Attila the Hun — I’m not sure why you’d want that comparison.”

Trump Reportedly Bragged About Being More Powerful Than Hitler by Citing ‘Historian’ Who Turned Out Be Gary Player’s Caddie

Who knows maybe the caddie was a historian there is probably more money in being a caddie.

We know of the trouble Donny has had trying to get the mall pool up to snuff for Donny’s big day…..now there are rumors that those dastardly ‘antifa’ operatives dumped algae in the pool to contaminate it.  It was fact check and as usual it was a damn LIE….

In mid-June 2026, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration completed renovations of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., algae blooms reappeared in the water — sparking a rumor that “antifa operatives” were responsible for their reemergence. “Antifa” is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning political activists, short for “anti-fascists.”

…

Searches uncovered no evidence that a U.S. Park Police captain named Joseph Barron exists, as of this writing. That name is frequently used in ALLOD’s fictional stories. For example, “Joe Barron” appeared as an NBC talent director in one post and a real estate magnate in another.

The algae issues that turned the reflecting pool green have plagued the body of water for years. Greenish water in the pool can be seen in Getty photos from April, June and August 2006. The water also appears green in photos from 2009 and 2010, while a photo from 2012 shows algae forming on the surface of the water following the Obama administration’s refurbishment.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/antifa-algae-reflecting-pool-trump/

“Anitfa” is a convenient group that can be blamed for anything and everything as opponents of Donny and his idiot band of morons….

IST Saturday News Dump–20Jun26

Summer is taking hold down here high temps and humidity….when outside you break into a sweat by breathing.

Before we begin I would like to point out….

A basic burger ingredient now comes with a side of economic reality: a pound of standard ground beef increasingly costs more than an hour of work at the federal minimum wage. The average price of a pound of lean ground beef has hit $8.34, outpacing the nationwide wage floor of $7.25 that hasn’t moved since 2009, when ground beef was around $2.20 a pound, Money reports. The magazine’s review of seven major grocery chains found prices for 80/20 ground beef ranging from about $6.50 at Trader Joe’s and Aldi to nearly $9 per pound at Publix. Even the cheapest variety of ground beef now costs an average of more than $5.40 a pound, according to federal data released Friday.

That is a sad stat….

Doug and Andy’s  Farewell…

Let us get this Saturday off with a bang….first of all the World Cup is in full swing and aliens will attack….

However, ahead of the highly anticipated cup, the world received some eerie news.

On June 2, Brazilian spiritualist Vo Bahiana – real name Elisângela de Souza – took to her Instagram to share a video detailing a vision that had visited her in a dream.

Bahiana told her 23 million Instagram followers she’d experienced a dream which warned extraterrestrial life would be arriving at the World Cup.

The self-professed psychic revealed the dream had seen a huge spacecraft carrying an influx of around 100 aliens descend on planet Earth.

And not just Earth, but specifically a field of one of the World Cup matches being held in Florida.

To make matters worse, Bahiana revealed the dream went on to detail hundreds of people being abducted by said aliens – including players, refs and spectators.

“[Translation] I was inside that ship. When the ship rose, the mothership arrived, a much larger ship, and took in thousands of people from the soccer field. I saw so much screaming, so much crying, so many tears, suffering,” she says in the video, as quoted by the Mail Online.

Sorry but the Cup is going strong and the alien BS is also going strong….just thought you guys might like to see the newest conspiracy.

As usual I read something about cancer research…..

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world, affecting millions of people every year.

While scientists have long known that cancer develops when DNA inside cells becomes damaged, there has been an ongoing debate about how much of that damage comes from lifestyle choices and environmental exposures, and how much is simply a result of aging and natural processes within the body.

A new study from Yale University has provided fresh insight into this important question. The research helps explain why some cancers may be highly preventable while others appear to be largely driven by factors beyond a person’s control.

Scientists Find Big Causes of Most Cancers

Like something out of a scifi movie….keeping the brain alive…..

Several years ago, a team of researchers obtained numerous pig brains from a slaughterhouse and revived them off-site for experimentation purposes. That team has since moved up the food chain. Now it obtains human donors’ brains, restores their functions, and uses them to test experimental drugs.

Bexorg, a Connecticut-based biotech startup spun out of Yale University, boasts about having created a “platform that leverages the untouched potential of nature’s most complex and enduring mystery: the human brain.”

Whereas other researchers might be limited to experimenting on lab-grown, human pseudo-brains or cell cultures, the team at Bexorg meddles with “full mature, intact, and isolated brains for days on end” with the stated aim of advancing brain disease therapies.

Unlike the company’s slick pitch, the reality appears to be something of a horror show. After all, the over 700 brains that have been subjected to experimentation at Bexorg so far were apparently far from inert.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/disembodied-human-brains-kept-alive-for-drug-testing-by-controversial-american-startup

Speaking of Scifi….there is something in the fog…..

There’s something living in the fog. Repeat: there’s something living in the fog.

It may sound like a twisted update to the classic John Carpenter film — or a log line for the new Apple TV horror series “Widow’s Bay” — but these low-hanging clouds are indeed rife with living bacteria, according to new research.

The findings, published in a study in the journal Environmental Microbiology, showed that fog is teeming with so much life that the researchers liken it to a vast aquatic ecosystem unto itself.

“We found that millions of bacteria inhabit… fog droplets,” coauthor Ferran Garcia-Pichel at Arizona State University, told USA Today.

“When you take all of the droplets together, the concentration of bacteria is the same as in the ocean,” he added in a statement about the work.

UFO madness is reaching a fevered pitch….

You don’t see a UFO file drop coming. One day there’s nothing, and then – without a press conference, without a dramatic announcement, without anyone in a suit standing behind a podium – 162 classified documents are just sitting on a government website, free for anyone to read. That is, more or less, what happened on May 8, 2026, when the Trump administration published decades of military and intelligence records about unidentified aerial phenomena. No fanfare. No answers either.

At the center of those files, appearing again and again across decades of military encounters in deserts, ocean corridors, and combat zones from Iraq to the Arabian Gulf, is one particular shape: the sphere. Metallic. Silent. Often described as “super-hot” on infrared. Moving in ways that trained military pilots cannot explain and, in at least one 2025 case, covering 20 miles faster than a helicopter could follow. The silver orb has become, whether anyone in government is ready to say so plainly, the defining image of the modern UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) era.

UFO Files Reveal New Evidence of Secret Invasion by Mysterious Silver Spheres

First contact plan has been updated….

The IAA just overhauled humanity’s official first-contact protocols for 2026, and the new rules read more like a careful scientific process than a Hollywood blockbuster. No dramatic press conferences. No single scientist shouting “We found them!” Instead, you’d get months of quiet verification before any public announcement.

The updated protocols demand brutal scientific rigor. When researchers spot something weird—whether it’s radio signals or infrared signatures suggesting alien megastructures—they can’t immediately tweet about it. Multiple organizations using different instruments must independently verify the detection. Think peer review, but for potentially the biggest discovery in human history.

This isn’t just academic caution. Today’s information environment turns preliminary findings into viral misinformation faster than you can say “weather balloon.” The protocols explicitly recognize that unverified alien claims could trigger global panic or conspiracy theories that outlast the actual science.

This health news may be old hat but it bears repeating…..

A sweetener that many people use instead of sugar may not be as harmless as it seems.

New research suggests that erythritol, a popular ingredient found in many sugar-free foods and drinks, could affect the health of blood vessels in the brain and may increase the risk of serious conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

Erythritol is widely used around the world as a low-calorie sugar substitute. It is commonly added to products such as diet soft drinks, protein bars, sugar-free snacks, chewing gum, and foods marketed to people with diabetes or those trying to lose weight.

Popular Sugar Substitute May Cause Brain and Heart Diseases

Remember Lunchables?

The Lunchables that millions of American children ate for lunch were engineered using the same science Philip Morris applied to making cigarettes. Not similar science. Not inspired-by science. The same researchers, the same labs, and in at least one case, the literal same industrial extraction process moved from one product line to the other.

Those documents form the basis of a major new study published in June 2026 in the American Journal of Public Health, led by Laura Schmidt, PhD, a professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. The research traces in precise detail how Philip Morris transferred cigarette technology, flavor science, and behavioral research directly into its food division during the two decades it controlled some of America’s most recognizable food brands. The findings reframe what tobacco and ultra-processed foods have in common – not as a philosophical comparison, but as a documented corporate history.

More on the magic ‘shroom…..

Dementia is a degenerative disease that no known drug can completely stop or reverse, despite decades of tests.

Now, a historically vilified psychedelic is emerging as a possible new avenue for controlling Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Neuroscientists around the world are starting to investigate if psilocybin – the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms – can help protect the aging brain.

A recent case study in Brazil hints at that tantalizing possibility.

It reports that after a patient in her 80s with advanced Alzheimer’s disease took a high dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, she temporarily regained bladder control and the ability to speak beyond monosyllables.

The paper, written by neuroscientists in Brazil, is unfortunately light on some of the details.

But it suggests there were meaningful improvements in the patient’s cognitive and physical functions, lasting for several weeks after her doses.

Scotland Forever

The World Cup has begun and the country of Scotland is setting records….not on the pitch but on urban society….

First they set a record while singing the Scottish national anthem….

Scotland’s World Cup fans made some noise—and possibly a bit of history—outside Boston. A sound meter at Gillette Stadium hit 125 decibels during the singalong for the “Flower of Scotland” anthem before the team’s 1–0 win over Haiti, reports the Times of London. If verified, it would be the loudest noise ever recorded at a World Cup match. The mark also smashes the stadium’s previous record (at an NFL game) by nearly 20 decibels and tops the 116-decibel mark Brazil fans hit at a past tournament, per the Scottish Daily Express. It is, however, well short of the loudest crowd noise on record, 142.2 decibels for a 2014 Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Audiology experts are less celebratory. They liken 125 decibels to standing next to a rock-concert speaker or siren, with “safe” exposure measured in seconds, not minutes. That kind of sound can trigger immediate ringing, muffled hearing, or permanent damage, and they urge supporters to use earplugs or step away from the stands periodically if things get that rowdy.

Then there is the beer thing…..

The parent company of Sam Adams said its Boston Taproom ran out of the brand’s flagship Boston Lager over the weekend because Scotland soccer fans in Boston for the 2026 World Cup drank four times as much as the bar usually sells.

Boston Beer Co. said in a news release that from Thursday to Sunday, the Tartan Army — Scotland’s supporters organization — drank four times what the company normally stocks during a typical four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July, adding that it had to schedule an emergency delivery of beer Saturday morning and are adding extra deliveries this week to make sure it has enough.

“We’ve never seen anything like it,” Billy DeCain of the Sam Adams Boston Taproom told NBC Boston.

“The White Bull Tavern, there was no beer,” Scottish fan Dave Orr told NBC. “The Scottish fans just drank the place dry and all they had was Bud Light.”

“Pretty much everything. We ran out of everything,” Paul Morris of The White Bull Tavern said. “Tennent’s being number one.

“The fans have been unbelievable. They’re great — fun, drinking, partying — having a great time.”

Talks Postponed (Go Figure)

Israel said it did not like the deal with Iran and that they would wreck it as soon as possible.

Well that was quicker than I had thought….

Israel’s military said Friday its forces struck targets throughout southern Lebanon overnight as Hezbollah reported intense fighting in the area, threatening the nascent agreement between Iran and the United States to end their war. Talks planned for Friday in Switzerland between Iran and the US, which Vice President JD Vance had been scheduled to attend, were postponed as the fighting intensified. Mediators worked to reschedule the meetings crucial for starting talks over a permanent end to the Iran war, with much of the attention focused on Lebanon, regional officials said.

Meanwhile, the death toll in Lebanon rose sharply. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported at least 18 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, which the Israeli military said were ongoing. Israel said four of its soldiers had been killed in fighting in southern Lebanon, including a lieutenant colonel. An explosive drone attack hurt another five, it added.

  • Continued fighting in Lebanon could unravel the newly signed deal, which calls for an immediate halt to military operations “on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” where Israel has been battling the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, and for ensuring Lebanon’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty.”
  • The deal aims to end the war and has reopened the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, while bringing the US and Iran back to the negotiating table over Tehran’s nuclear program. Israel and Hezbollah are not parties to the agreement. Iran insists Israel must withdraw from the large swath of southern Lebanon it is occupying, but the wording of the interim deal doesn’t explicitly require that. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections later this year, has refused to withdraw. He said Thursday that Israeli forces will remain in a “security zone” of southern Lebanon as long as “Israel’s security needs require it.”
  • Two regional officials, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door talks, said mediators were focused on calming the fighting in Lebanon. One said Iran pulled out of the Switzerland meeting specifically over the fighting and Netanyahu’s comments, describing them as violating the interim deal between Iran and the US. Two other regional officials, similarly speaking on condition of anonymity, described Pakistan as being “stunned” by Iran’s decision not to go to the talks Friday.
  • The AP reports that Vance had been prepared to make an overnight flight Friday to meet with his Iranian counterparts at a mountainside resort in a tiny Swiss village and begin the technical talks. His staff and a small pack of journalists had even gathered at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington in anticipation of the trip. Meanwhile, dozens of White House officials, advance staffers, and more media gathered in Switzerland to prepare for Vance’s anticipated arrival. “The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable,” the White House said in a statement after the trip was abruptly called off.

It will be interesting to see just how Donny takes his master plan of a deal will shape out while Israel continues it’s blood lust for civilian deaths in Lebanon.

Any thoughts on this turn of events?

It Was A Matter Of Time

Before the Sharpie is even dry on the ceasefire deal with Iran Israel is doing what many of us thought they would do….be a thorn in the ass of the world.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israel’s military will stay in southern Lebanon, where it has occupied up to 6 miles from the border. In his first comments since the US-Iran deal was signed, Netanyahu said Israel must “maintain a security zone in southern Lebanon, and it requires that we must not leave there as long as Israel’s security needs require it,” the AP reports. He has made similar comments in the past about Israel’s refusal to withdraw from southern Lebanon.

The US-Iran deal to end the war in the Middle East, signed overnight, also calls for an end to the war in Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting the militant Hezbollah group, but it’s unclear what that means in practice. Speaking to a Hezbollah-aligned Lebanese news outlet Thursday, a spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry said a continued Israeli military presence in Lebanon would mean the “annulment” of the memorandum of understanding, the Times of Israel reports.

“It was not acceptable for us to abandon our brothers in Lebanon,” the spokesman said. “We cannot talk about ending the war while parts of Lebanese territory remain under the occupation of the Zionist entity. As long as the occupation continues, it can be said that the war is still in place and has not ended in essence.” President Trump has repeatedly criticized Netanyahu and Israel’s military actions in Lebanon in recent weeks. Israeli sources tell Reuters that Israel is holding “stubborn” talks with the US over extending the Lebanon deployment.

Many of us knew this was coming….Israel will not stop its pathetic imperial desires.

The Israeli money will start working overtime….

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is aiming to influence the terms of the final US-Iran deal through pro-Israel “right-wing” media figures, CNN reported on Thursday, citing an Israeli official.

The only media figure mentioned by name in the report was Mark Levin, a long-time radio broadcaster and Fox News host, who is extremely pro-war and pro-Israel and has been harshly critical of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding to end the conflict.

Levin suggested in a post on X on Thursday that the US should pursue a different strategy to get through the midterm elections and then restart the war.

Time for a change in strategy. We should consider slow walking the enemy, building up our munitions, our oil reserves, get the price of gasoline down, get through the midterms, then knock them out,” Levin said. “Instead of rushing to a deal, building up their oil industry, transferring billions to them, etc.”

During the US-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran, Trump defended Levin from criticism from other conservative commentators who opposed the war. “Mark Levin, a truly Great American Patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less Intellect, Capability, and Love for our Country,” Trump said in a long post on Truth Social in March.

Israel will use the MAGA pipeline to sell their lies and misinformation and the MSM will go along with these lies….and Israel will be allowed to torpedo the peace deal.

Only a matter of time before this whole situation flares again.
