Posted in: U.S. hints large response to Iran-backed militias imminent as Houthi rebels target another ship See in context

Part of being a terrorist sponsoring state like Iran is you can't actually use what limited capabilities you have directly lest you generate ill will even in a region that doesn't like the US.

Iran's capabilities are not as limited as you think. They have the home advantage and can wipe out all nearby US military bases and ships.

And the main sponsor of terrorism is the US.

But they don't actually know who did it.

Doesn't really matter. Attacking Iran addresses the problem.

No, it will only start a much larger problem.

Now, they are talking about attacking "Iran-backed militias". If they dare to actually attack Iran, all US military in the region will be sitting ducks.

Indeed, but the absence of evidence hasn't stopped them before.

Iran sure does have their hands in lots of different pies.

Yes, so they say...

Surely, we gonna do something! Surely, right?

Yeah, like when the US was getting ready to nuke Cairo when the USS Liberty was attacked. Unfortunately for some, the ship did not sink so the attack was called off.

I agree that many "olive oils" are not authentic. A famous low-carb researcher mentioned that he tested the Costco brand (Kirkland) virgin olive oil and found it to be legit. So I've been buying that ever since...

If you look back to the turn of the 20th century, average life expectancy in the UK was around 46 years. Today, it’s closer to 82 years. We are in fact living longer than ever before, possibly due to medical advancements and improved living and working conditions.

A major contributor to the increased average life expectancy is lower infant mortality.

For instance, the Seventh-day Adventists of Loma Linda are predominately vegetarian.

Ah yes, that group played a major role in the creation of the US dietary guidelines, which played a major role in the obesity and overall poor health of Americans. Dr. Anthony Chaffee does a good job describing the weird stuff they did.

Federal dietary guidelines recommend people follow an eating pattern that includes nutrient-dense food and beverages, lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and nuts and seeds, while limiting sodium, added sugars, saturated fat and alcohol.

These federal dietary guidelines are an improvement over what many americans eat, but the only part I would recommend is the limiting sugars and alcohol.

Saturated fat and fatty meats are a good thing.

Posted in: Israeli PM says U.N. agency for Palestinians must close; Israeli warplanes strike Gaza See in context

Let's say that's true. So what. It wouldn't have happened but for Hamas' intentional attack on Israeli civilians. So, your claim means nothing regarding accountability.

Let's say that's true. So what. The Oct 7th attack wouldn't have happened but for israel's continued illegal expansion and blockade, holding of 1000s of Palestinians in jail (including many women and children), constant killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, the attacks against Palestinian holy sites.... So, your claim means nothing regarding accountability.

Posted in: Israeli PM says U.N. agency for Palestinians must close; Israeli warplanes strike Gaza See in context

No not all. I have often claimed that more than half of the israeli civilians killed on Oct 7th, were killed by the IDF. That is what the evidence shows.

Please post this evidence

Max Blumenthal of thegrayzone.com does a good job providing the evidence, based on israeli media, testimonies from witnesses, and statements by IDF members.

You can also clearly see that the damage done to several of the houses and several dozen cars was not done by Hamas, but rather by the IDF helicopters and tanks.

Gazans are 50% Saudi and 50% Egyptian. Why did them move to Gaza from those countries knowing in advance that it is controlled by Israel?

No, they are 100% Palestinian. They were pushed out of other parts of Palestine by the israelis.

I’ve heard multiple people on this site claim that it was actually the IDF who killed all the one civilians on October 7th

No not all. I have often claimed that more than half of the israeli civilians killed on Oct 7th, were killed by the IDF. That is what the evidence shows.

There is clear video evidence of Hamas fighters killing civilians, that much cannot be denied.

Yes, and I hope an independent investigation is carried out to give us a better idea as to how many israeli civilians were killed by Hamas on that day; is it 1, 10, 50, 100...? The israelis do not want such an investigation as they want us to think all were killed by Hamas.

They found a correlation in the nematode: calorie restriction was associated with longer life, increased alcohol dehydrogenase levels, and lower glycerol levels.

I get how calorie restriction would result in the latter two effects. But I can't see how simply increasing ADH-1 would increase longevity. I doubt ADH-1 is "at its core".

Others said she had the right to represent the country she belongs to. "If you have Japanese citizenship then you are a Japanese. Isn't that all there is to say? What more is there to prove?" another X user said.

I agree she had every right to participate. But I wonder why they chose an average-looking Caucasian to represent Japan at a beauty competition. I suspect it might be related to Japan's recent obsession with supporting everything Ukrainian.

Posted in: Cease-fire efforts for Israel-Hamas war gain steam, but agreement still appears elusive See in context

Hamas ought to release the Israeli women and children it kidnapped. That would make the prospect of a cease fire more possible.

I believe the remaining "hostages" are all military, so they are prisoners of war, not hostages.

But israel should release the thousands of hostages they've been holding for years, including women and children.

Iran is “very directly involved” in ship attacks that Yemen's Houthi rebels have carried out during Israel's war against Hamas

I applaud both the Houthis and Iran for trying to put an end to the genocide of the Palestinian people being carried out by israel and america.

The Houthis are only attacking ships heading to or from israel

“What we need is a Houthi decision to stop attacking international merchant ships. Period,” Cooper said.

But interestingly, they don't want israel to stop the genocide...

I'm starting to have those deja-vu feelings with flashbacks to the 'manufacture of consent' prior to the US invasion on Iraq. Back then it was all about fictious yellowcake from Niger, aluminum centrifuge tubes, anthrax and mysterious connections to Al Queda. Amazing to see history repeat again and again.

Yes, and until those liars are held accountable, we should ignore everything they say as they try to start one more war.

What you call adaptation may involve a lot of people starving to death when arable land shrinks.

Or perhaps less people starving due to the greening of Earth. Nature adapts...

I doubt that any of the proposed "solutions" will do anything but make most people poorer and a select few richer.

Posted in: Beyond breathing: How COVID-19 affects your heart, brain and other organs See in context

Which was fortunate, the evidence now clearly indicate these "old meds" were worse than using nothing, and things like HCQ ended up causing thousands of excess deaths

You're joking, right? HCQ is considered one of the safest drugs ever; it can even be taken during pregnancy. There are however considerable "excess deaths" world wide associated with the elephant in the room.

The problem is not about not feeling fear (which is perfectly fine) but trying to misrepresent the evidence that clearly shows vaccinating importantly reduce the risks from covid and is objectively the best option for anybody for which the vaccine is indicated.

Yeah, the evidence shows that at most it might temporarily (2-3 months) reduce the risks from covid, but each injection increases to a much higher degree the risks of other serious adverse effects. For anyone below 60 or so, without comorbidities, consideration of the risk-benefit should lead a rational person to avoid the shots, especially if they have already been infected (i.e., almost everyone).

Posted in: Beyond breathing: How COVID-19 affects your heart, brain and other organs See in context

Fear mongering again. Outside the US and maybe a handful of other countries the idea of giving kiddies a Covid vaccine now is laughable.

Indeed. One thing that I have noticed over the past 4 years is that the MSM narrative has so consistently been pro-pharma: over emphasizing or exaggerating the effects of Covid19 and the safety/effectiveness of the shot and the new meds, while discouraging the use of old meds and completely ignoring natural precautions (sunlight, vitD, zinc, quercetin...).

Rational people do not feel fear when presented with information that is both easily confirmed scientifically and relevant to the best course of action to take.

Indeed, I completely agree! That's why I feel no fear whatsoever about the virus, despite not getting the shot.

I think equal rights and assimilation is the better course. Terrorists should be imprisoned or executed.

Yes, including the israeli and american ones, starting with netanyahu.

All it takes is for the U.S. to start supplying ARMS to the Palestinians, or better yet STOP supplying Israel then watch Netanyahu and his war mongers run to the SEA.

Yeah, that won't happen. Although israel is sold to the world as a home for the poor Jews who don't have a home, it is actually just a US military outpost.

Regarding the 2 state solution, they should at least simply enforce the pre-June 1967 borders. But I don't think that is very feasible; much fairer would be returning to the 1947 borders. Or better yet, a one state with equal rights for everyone and a right of return.

The Biden/Harris regime is the greatest threat to US freedoms.

Objectively not true as there is no hint of foreign collusion with Biden/Harris, unlike the Former Guy.

First of all, US freedoms are being taken away from domestic enemies, foreign collusion is irrelevant.

Second, the former guys alleged foreign collusion has been completely debunked.

His peace formula calls for restoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity, withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities, as well as the release of all prisoners and detainees, among other things.

It is his (Zelensky's) hostilities that started this entire mess. His hostilities pushed the people of eastern Ukraine to vote to join Russia.
