Heated
debate between Bret
Weinstein & Robert Wright
about military readiness and
system corruption

My response...
Bret's "hypothesis" is that
the US government has been
infiltrated by a foreign
power, leading to members of
the military being vaccinated
against a virus which is
unlikely to harm them, with a
vaccine that is more likely
to harm them than others
(due to the age group and
fitness level of a typical
soldier).
This seems plausible,
however I propose that it
may be 'the powers that be'/pulling
the strings
don't necessarily intend to
harm those in the military,
but they are merely
collateral damage for a
practice that involves
targeting as much of the
populous as possible. If the
military weren't included in
the Covid vaccine rollout
then it would surely
increase vaccine hesitancy
among everyone else -
especially among those in a
similar age group or who
look up to the military. A
so-called "conspiracy
theory" is that the vaccine
is being used for
depopulation, and if that is
the case then targeting
those in the "prime of their
life" would be highest
priority.
A
militarytimes.com
article points out that in a
study Marines were 52% more
likely to get vaccinated
compared to those in the Army who
were the lowest out of the
four military branches. To
me the Marines are the
pinnacle of the whole
"following of orders"
brigade, since their
training demands it. If
getting vaccinated is
presented as an order, and
they accept it as being "for their
country" then they're going
to do it. To not do so would
not be akin to being a
marine.
Throughout this whole Covid
thing I've continually
questioned, or rather,
refused to accept figures
presented to me. For those
that want to see as many
people vaccinated as
possible they're going to
hype-up (or even lie about)
whatever figures they need
to. I can see how being told
"95% of people have been
vaccinated" could lead
someone in the minority to
follow suit, but there is a
possibility that such a
figure is a lie, especially
when other lies have and are been
told (not just about Covid).
This article also
quotes Marine Corps Lt. Gen.
David Ottignon as saying "I
can tell you there are
no operational impacts
across the force for
readiness" and that less
than 1% of those in the
forces have left of a
refusal to be vaccinated. Of
course they'd want to
present that figure
so as not to give any
perceived edge to an enemy.
Even Ottignon using the
phrase "I can tell you..."
makes me question the claim,
it implies that is all he
can say, as in, he can't say
otherwise, he's not allowed.
All he has been told to say
is "there are no operational
impacts across the force for
readiness" in response to
such a question, not that
that is the truthful answer!
This is the kind of
reading-between-the lines I
find myself doing when
hearing any kind of official
statement; it's mostly all a
play on words.
But,
refusals to be vaccinated
are on the rise, or
rather, to be boosted, which
seems to be where the
greatest risk lies. Hear
about professional mountain biker Kyle's
vaccine injury story on
Dr. John Campbell's channel
here. His first dose
seemingly went fine, but his
second immediately went
wrong and lead to him
suffering heart damage.
If you do get a Covid
vaccine/booster and
immediately have a metallic
taste in your mouth, then
report this immediately.
How
I Cured Years of Depression
Within Days (Do These 4
Things)
Bright Insight

My response...
It has been a while since I
had watched anything from
Jimmy @Bright Insight so I
looked him up. Quite often
he produces videos about
ancient history which I find
interesting, but in this
particular video I decided
to watch as he recounted some of
his experiences with
depression and how he dealt
with it.
For a long time I didn't
realise I was dealing with
any sort of depression, and
then it took some time to
accept that I was from time
to time. Early on it appears
my experience was masked by
what I felt to be fatigue or
a lack of motivation,
which I now learn could have
been symptoms of
depression - if this is so
then I've been dealing with
this mild form of depression
for twenty-odd years.
Jimmy's 4 Things:
1. Dry Saunas
2. Boost Testosterone (Men)
with leg exercises
3. Purpose and Goals
4. Small things: Eat fruit
and veg, get outside, good
sleep etc.
For me I have for a long
time focused on the last two
while being aware of the
testosterone link. I feel
like I do well with 4, while
3 can be a challenge when
experiencing a lack of
motivation, or fatigue after
a stressful day.
Through my brief periods of
actual depression my mood
about "my purpose" in life,
and my efforts towards my goals and plans I set
myself would be even more
hampered. Then, because I am
in a good routine of
spending time outside I
started supplementing
Vitamin D through darker
days (in two senses of the
word).
As for those leg exercises
I'm actually heard that
upper body workouts and
resistance training are what
can boost testosterone (I'm
pretty sure Joe Rogan has
pushed this point numerous
times in his podcasts). But
I'm not an upper-workout
kind of guy.
It appears I get a good leg
workout most days because I
primarily do cycling, but I
am pretty sure I suffer from
a life of "naturally" low
Testosterone (being a skinny
guy with long hair can be
signs of this).
Taking a dry sauna as Jimmy
recommends is not something
I had considered in relation
to depression, nor do I have
any interest (or
motivation!) in seeking out,
but later I was watching
another video
(26:17 and 39:14) about
Testosterone-inhibiting
toxins (from
water/plastics/packaging/clothing/cosmetics)
and taking a sauna was
recommended there to help remove
such toxins and heavy
metals from our bodies. This link implies
that Jimmy's experience of
rapidly improved mood from
his sauna could have been
attributed to a testosterone
issue.
Avoiding having a sauna
needn't necessarily be huge problem
because any activity/sport
that causes sweating could
surely have a similar effect
- in conclusion I just need
to keep up with my running
and cycling - two things I
had to avoid recently due to
falling down a mountain and
injuring my ribs!
Physician
Gabor Maté Gives His
Analysis on ADHD and Anxiety

My response...
I think this short video
(and perhaps what I write
here in response to it)
could be of interest to many
people dealing with
ADHD.
Here is an excerpt from
Gabor Maté's page on
Wikipedia to provide an
introduction:
Maté has a background in
family practice and a
special interest in
childhood development,
trauma and potential
lifelong impacts on
physical and mental health
including autoimmune
disease, cancer, attention
deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD),
addictions and a wide
range of other conditions.
Maté's approach to
addiction focuses on the
trauma his patients have
suffered and looks to
address this in their
recovery. In his book In
the Realm of Hungry
Ghosts: Close Encounters
with Addiction, Maté
discusses the types of
trauma suffered by persons
with substance use
disorders and how this
affects their decision
making in later life.
...He has authored four
books exploring topics
including ADHD, stress,
developmental psychology,
and addiction...
While, as stated, ADHD may
not be heritable as such, it
can be a learned
behaviour/reaction to
certain things within (or
lacking in) a family unit.
"A coping mechanism"
"Sitting in a classroom is
not a natural state."
For me, I did ok at school,
because the option to
"escape" wasn't there. After
school and into college I
struggled because I now had
the option to escape or
avoid. I've come to realise
that my childhood was far
more traumatic than I
understood at the time, from
an early family death to
deal with to parents who
struggled (or even failed)
to provide for all their
kids. Either through pride
or developing a "stiff upper
lip" I either exhibited a
posture of not being
bothered by things, or I hid
those things away; I'm now
way into adulthood and have
only just come to learn
these things about myself,
although I've been actively
tackling symptoms all this
time.
"The brain can change if you
treat it right."
The reason we can't focus is
because we're "choosing" not
to; to stick with something
challenging is itself a
challenge, it can be easier
to escape/run away from that
thing or avoid it in the
first place. Being
disruptive in class (as
Rogan gives an example of)
is a form of avoidance, and
one class clown can be of
benefit to others seeking
escape from the discomfort
of study. Rogan, like
myself, sees the issue of
using medication to tackle
these problems.
The points about autoimmune
disorders possibly being a
symptom of ADHD is something
I'd not come across before,
although I've been aware of
the link with stress which
can come in various forms (I
developed Asthma and
Hayfever in my childhood)...
One perhaps also has to
consider inflicted stresses
such as news about
pandemics, so-called
invasions or rising fuel and
food costs and how all these
things can play into the
ADHD mind. When medication
is provided as the
solution, one should, I
believe, question who
ultimately benefits from all
of this.
