How the Obesity-Industrial Complex Keeps Americans Sick, Fat, and Sad

Image
  The United States spends more money   per capita   on healthcare than any other country on Earth –   almost twice as much as Germany and triple Japan . To emphasize, this is the average spending on an individual level, so it’s triple the spending of Japan per person. Source:  Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker And what do Americans get for all that spending? The US is  the fattest  and the sickest in terms of chronic disease rates in the world. Per  Statista , “the CDC estimates that six in ten adults in the United States currently live with a chronic disease such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.” You probably know someone personally – in all likelihood, multiple people – who suffers from a chronic health condition. Much of that disease burden is due to obesity. “Adult obesity rates have more than doubled since the 1980s — in the U.S. today, obesity affects over 42% of adults and 18% of youth. Obesity and its related complications are major drivers of rising healthcare costs, d

Transplant surgery highlights evidence of vaccine deaths

  Transplant surgery highlights evidence of vaccine deaths By Guy Hatchard MORE critical evidence of increased vaccine-induced strokes and deaths has come to light. The Wellington Region health data leaked directly to me, on which I’ve reported  here , shows that the incidence of strokes requiring hospitalisation in 2023 was up by 25 per cent on pre-pandemic levels. These rises in stroke incidence began in 2021, before the arrival of Covid in New Zealand, but after the vaccine rollout began. Despite this, published scientific papers continue to point to Covid-19 infection as the sole source of increased stroke incidence, in some cases,  as in this paper , not even mentioning a possible role of Covid vaccination.  Accordingly, NZ Medsafe has been able to maintain that there have been only two vaccine-induced deaths, allowing politicians and health authorities to cling to the fiction that Covid vaccination is safe. A pre-pandemic  2016 paper  found that victims of fatal strokes are gener

Covid Insider Farrar and His Eugenics Agenda

Covid Insider Farrar and His Eugenics Agenda PAULA JARDINE     On December 13, 2022, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that Sir Jeremy Farrar, the current director of the Wellcome Trust, would be joining it as its chief scientist. In a few weeks, Farrar will take the helm of its  science division , which ‘harnesses the power of science and innovation,’ providing ‘global leadership in leveraging the best scientific evidence to improve health and promote health equity for all.’   The science division’s creation in 2019 was a part of the WHO’s ‘transformation.’ It is, it says, ‘instrumental in making WHO the trusted source of the best scientific evidence about Covid-19, its treatment and prevention,’ playing, it says, a ‘key role in countering the  infodemic of misinformation .’   So what’s it really up to? In July 2022, the WHO Science Council, which was set up by the outgoing chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan, published its first report. Its first priority is to accelera

U.S. Government Has Been Planning to ‘Lockdown and Wait for a Vaccine’ Since 2007

U.S. Government Has Been Planning to ‘Lockdown and Wait for a Vaccine’ Since 2007 BY   WILL JONES   More and more evidence is coming to light that the ‘lockdown and wait for a vaccine’ strategy unleashed in 2020 was being cooked up inside the U.S. Government for decades before COVID-19 appeared and gave too many people an excuse to put the dreadful plan into action. Recently the role of  CISA  (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) in producing key lockdown guidance for America in March 2020 came to light. Now, a  pandemic plan  from 2007 produced by the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) and currently hosted on the CISA  website  has emerged. The plan contains the original list of pandemic ‘essential businesses’ that was used by CISA in 2020 to lock down America. The 2007 plan (which was itself based on a  Department of Homeland Security plan  from the previous year) clearly states the intention to ban large gatherings “indefinitely”, close schools and non-ess

Is Canada Euthanizing the Poor?

Is Canada Euthanizing the Poor?  by  Conor Gallagher Simons , a Canadian fashion and home decor retailer, released a  three-minute film  in October showcasing the planned assisted death of a sick Canadian woman. The 37-year-old used Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to die on Oct. 23  after dealing with complications from Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissue supporting many body parts. While Simon’s tries to paint an uplifting picture of an individual’s decision to end their life in order to sell fashion and home decor, there are some serious questions about Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), its intentions, and effects. I’m certainly no expert on assisted death, and I don’t mean to question or attempt to judge which conditions warrant such assistance, but I would like to look at whether society has exhausted all other means of assistance to help provide a stable, fulfilling life before turning to assisted death.
