    • A question for any doctor in the audience: If oral probiotic ingestion is much less effective for microbiome diversity because of the effect of stomach acid, why not use the same pill as a suppository? I know, as the doctor says a clean colon is important, but would this method not still be more effective?

      • “…The power of Ivermectin was that it increased the bifidabacteria within 24 hours…”

        Now google ivermectin’s effects on the microbiome and you get the dominant return that ivermectin promotes dysbiosis–the opposite of what she says. Who would you trust, this brilliant researcher of legacy disinformation?

  8. I have zero illusions about MIT.
    So why did this incident make me cry?
    It came in the context of of vandalism at the State House:

    >>UPDATE: An anti-Israel activist has been accused of vandalizing MIT buildings (see below), the MA State House, and a George Washington statue.

    Police say he had homemade explosive devices.

    His mother, who was arrested for spitting on a detective, blames the IDF.

    ………..

    BREAKING: Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL) vandalized an MIT professor’s lab, spray-painting “Death to the IDF” on a door.

    “This was not symbolic. This was a costly warning shot,” they say.

    “The resistance is alive. And it knows exactly where you work.”

    • 9/11 took an exceptionally high toll from our community. Of course: the planes were filled with commuters taking off from Boston’s Logan Airport. Too many heartbreaking memorial services.

      Then the Marathon bombing that traumatized the city in 2013.

      This article doesn’t seem to have been archived. It delves into the history of MIT as “The Base” – the literal translation of al-Qaeda. A long, meaty article, I’ll just snip bits of it.

      11 May 2015
      AL-QUEDA’S BASE AT MIT

      At the end of April, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled a permanent memorial to MIT Police Officer Sean Collier. Officer Collier was gunned down by the Boston Marathon bombers, Chechen refugees Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, three days after they blew up the Marathon…

      [In] the late 1990s, there were students at MIT who helped recruit for the Chechen jihad and raised funds for al-Qaeda… It is even more painful that the man who led this fundraising effort was still on MIT’s staff when Officer Collier was gunned down.

      [Tamerlan ran to MIT because he knew he’d find collaborators who’d hide him. Officer Collier found him first.]

      Suheil Laher had been MIT’s Muslim chaplain for almost 20 years. Today he continues to preach at the Islamic Society of Boston, the extremist mosque founded by MIT students near campus, where the Tsarnaev brothers worshipped during their radicalization…

      As a religious scholar and an engineer, Laher was both the spiritual and technological leader of “Care International”. He pioneered the Jihadist use of the new Internet medium to fund-raise and recruit for al-qaeda causes online…

      [Those “causes” included the Beslan School Massacre in 2004.]

      One of the MIT students who answered Laher’s call to join the Jihad in person was a bright young biologist named Aafia Siddiqui. She started out as a passionate and prolific fundraiser for Care International, but by the time she was arrested by the FBI in Afghanistan in 2008, she was known as “Lady al-Qaeda” and had become the most wanted woman in the world.

      She is now serving an 86-year prison sentence for attempting to kill the FBI agents arresting her. Her belongings upon arrest included two pounds of cyanide and plans for mass casualty attacks on New York using chemical and biological weapons, as well as literature about the Ebola virus.…

  9. Chinese entrepreneurs suddenly jump to their deaths. Is this random or an indication of a failing Chinese economy?

    Having worked in Hong Kong for nearly a decade, the story of the rise and fall of property management company Evergrande intrigued me. The fall of this once grand company was historic.

    Back in August of 2023 I wrote:

    The China economy is in trouble, like the rest of the world’s economies. The Evergrande failure has been in the works for some time now. Once one of the most prestigious firms in China, it’s now facing bankruptcy.

    China’s Economy Falling Apart – Billionaires Want Out – Bankrupt Property Management Company Evergrande Replaces CEO

    China’s Evergrande Files for Bankruptcy – World Economy in Dangerous Shape

    Before that I was on the War Room with Steve Bannon to discuss the fall of the China economy and Evergrande in October of 2021:

    If not coming, it’s already here, Steve. [Joe’s response to Steve Bannon’s question about a financial crisis coming to China.]…

    The problem that China has is similar to 2008, it’s the same problem. They overbuilt real estate and they’re aren’t people in the real estate that can afford it and can live in it. So they have all this property, it’s a real estate crisis, all this property that is setting all over the place, all over the country, that has been built but there’s just nobody in it…

    In January of 2024 Evergrande was in full default.

    Evergrande was once China’s top real estate developer, but ever since it defaulted on loans in 2021 the company has been in a kind of slow-motion collapse. With more than $300 billion in debts and contractors who hadn’t been paid, there seemed to be no way for the company to recover.

    The central problem at Evergrande (and other, similar developers) seems to be that it was using current deposits on as-yet-unbuilt apartments to cover the costs of building apartments it had already been paid for. That kind of ponzi scheme obviously doesn’t work when no one is willing to risk more money (placing an order for a future project) because the company has defaulted on a loan. Finally, today, a judge in Hong Kong called it a lost cause and ordered the company to dissolve so its assets could be sold.

    But there’s a catch here and it’s a fairly huge one. The judge who ordered the liquidation is in Hong Kong. Most of the company’s assets are in mainland China. The way this is supposed to work is that a mainland judge is supposed to take up the order and make sure it gets carried out. But you’ll be shocked to learn that it doesn’t actually work that way in China very often.

    All of that is a nice way of saying that the order to liquidate assets may dray on for years or may just be ignored. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a worse outcome for China’s economy. The collapse of Evergrande is bad news but at least its dissolution is a familiar outcome to foreign investors who expect this to happen to failed companies. Also, it would allow some of them to recoup at least a portion of their losses.

    But if politics intervenes and Evergrande’s mainland operation isn’t dissolved after a court order, suddenly investors realize how little confidence they can have in China, not to mention that won’t be getting any of their money back.

    There is now more negative news on the Chinese economy.

    According to the Epoch Times, top entrepreneurs from four different companies recently “committed suicide” as their companies were failing economically.

    In the span of just four months, four prominent Chinese entrepreneurs from multiple industries have committed suicide, all reportedly jumping from buildings in desperate final acts. Experts say that these incidents stand in stark contrast to the Chinese regime’s official narrative of “better-than-expected” GDP growth for the first half of the year.
    On April 16, Bi Guangjun, founder of Jindianzi Textiles Ltd, leapt from the 28th floor of a building. Insiders revealed that he invested heavily in China’s new energy industry but lost a fortune.

    On June 2, Liu Wenchao, chairman of Xizi Elevator Co. Ltd., a firm heavily reliant on China’s now-floundering property sector, died after falling from a building. Chinese state-controlled media said that Liu once said that anyone who has ambition ends up scarred.

    On July 17, Zeng Yuzhou, founder of home renovation chain Liangjiaju Building Materials, jumped from a high-rise in Guangzhou. He left behind a 1 billion yuan ($140 million) mess, affecting over 2,000 families, more than 1,000 employees, and over 300 suppliers, according to Chinese media.
    Just 10 days later, on July 27, Chinese media reported that the chairman of home retail giant Easyhome New Retail Group, Wang Linpeng, died after jumping off a building, only four days after being released from police custody. Wang had been held by authorities during an anti-corruption investigation.

    Xiao Yi, a London-based Chinese finance professional with 30 years of experience in the industry and a China watcher, shared his analysis of the four deaths with the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times, where he is a regular contributor. Although the deaths occurred in different sectors, Xiao said he believes that it reveals common underlying pressures strangling China’s private sector, which includes collapsing cash flows, mounting debt, policy uncertainty, and the erosion of public trust.

    He noted that China’s ballooning local government debt has crowded out private-sector financing. While state media champion slogans like “supporting the real economy,” capital is disproportionately funneled to state-owned enterprises (SOEs), leaving private firms informally blacklisted from loans.

    First it was real estate and now its companies. China’s economy is failing. It has been for a long time. President Trump’s actions to ensure fair trade with China may be the final blow. The only way China could compete was with unfair trade relations with the US. President Trump is putting an end to this.
    Is the Chinese Communist Party going to be overthrown due to the country’s economic downfall? We may soon find out.

  10. Glyphosate KILLS. Stop the Spray

    Thursday, August 14, 2025. 10 am-noon
    The Anishinaabe Community members and other stewards of the land will stand on Highway 17 at The Serpent River Trading Post.

    The animals are dying, our trees our dying, we are getting sick — stop the spraying.

  11. The Anishinaabe are emphatic the meeting at the Serpent River Trading Post on Highway 17, is not a protest, but a reminder to all the levels of government and the courts of their duty to protect Treaty lands, and uphold Anishinaabe laws and heed the science.

    This convergence of ancestral land and modern science, of mushrooms, moose, medicines and microbes — and declaring together, you are killing our people, our forests, our friends, and our medicines. We cannot continue to survive unless we stop this.
