  The Fat-Farms of Mauritania Force-feeding girls for marriage STONE AGE HERBALIST January is the month of the diet. New Year’s resolutions abound to cut down on snacks, to go to the gym, to lose weight. Extra fat is now not just for Christmas though, it is a global problem - but what would the opposite of a weight-loss camp look like? A place to deliberately become obese? Do such places exist? On one end of the spectrum we could look at the Japanese sumo wrestling tradition, where practitioners become fat in order to leverage their bulk against their opponent. A method of metabolic hacking is used, where wrestlers skip breakfast and eat a massive 10,000 calorie lunch of  chankonabe  stew, followed by a nap. The combination of calorie loading, large amounts of beer and short feeding windows causes rapid weight gain. Another variant found across the world is the ‘fattening room’ ritual. This typically involves young women, and sometimes men, being secluded from the communi...

  Are We Losing Free Speech in America? Israel is the catalyst for a major loss of freedom PHILIP GIRALDI   There is little appreciation inside the United States for the grave damage being inflicted on our country by President Joe Biden’s foreign policy being conducted through the mechanism of starting or sustaining a new war every year. The justifications provided by the White House, State Department and Pentagon are so vacuous that they have succeeded in creating a new low standard for the art of government lying.

And with the current US military build-ups near China and in the Middle East to confront Iran there presumably is enough gas in the tank to pick up on another conflict or two before Genocide ...

Including the tension between pure Being, which is perfect harmony, and the fact it can only be achieved, and therefore can only exist, via tension: the antidote to harmony. Tension between two poles generates movement, actualizes energy. The tension of a string makes music possible. And the tension between what we don’t know and what we think we know may propel us not only forward, but up high, too. Say what you will about the boomers, but many of them still had a gravity about them that went together with actually taking the Unknown seriously, enabling them to ride that tension: creating movement, strive, existence. Today, not so much. In case you missed it, we just had a  whistleblower  basically claiming that the government is in cahoots with hyperdimensional aliens that may keep us all enslaved. A semi-mainstream conservative event, associated with the Republican Pa...
