Die Energiekrise spitzt sich weiter zu. Der letzte Öltanker, der die Straße von Hormus vor der Blockade verlassen konnte, wird in den nächsten Tagen Europa erreichen. Energieexperte Fritz Vahrenholt erörtert im Gespräch, wie der Staat noch an der Krise kräftig Geld verdient und bewertet die bisherigen Entscheidungen der Bundesregierung.

Here is the crazy part: most every central bank that holds RMB "reserves" aren't actually holding RMB reserves. Wait what? That doesn't make sense.
Most every RMB reserve outside of China is a dedicated "swap" line so if they need RMB they can obtain RMB.
So now your asking why is that? There are two reasons.
1. RMB never leaves China so there is no international price for RMB
2. It effectively forces other countries to run USD surplus so they can obtain RMB by exchanging USD.
So the idea that the world is dedollarizing and the RMB will be a reserve currency is entirely laughable. It also explains the desire to target USD deficits not just with China but other countries because China has effectively enlisted other countries

The Wake-Up Call Nobody Was Ready For
On February 21, 2024, I was in Washington, D.C. when Change Healthcare went dark. My practice leadership and I didn’t fully understand the severity at first, but within days we realized that we were living in a nightmare.
Change Healthcare is the clearinghouse that processes and submits medical claims to insurers on behalf of providers. When it went down, my practice couldn’t submit claims or receive payments for a minimum of four weeks. Insurers stopped sending electronic remittance advice. My staff spent countless hours manually reconciling deposits by logging into individual payor portals, comparing explanation of benefits to bank entries one payment at a time. Patients received automated bills that should have shown zero balances. We told them to disregard the bills but they were understandably frustrated. Every minute spent on fixing the problem was a minute not spent on patient care.
I testified about this before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee on April 16, 2024. I told the committee what most independent physicians already knew but Washington needed to hear: the average physician practice has only weeks to a month of cash on hand. Change Healthcare at that time handled an estimated 50 percent of all medical claims and processed more than $1.5 trillion annually in healthcare spending. That’s right… a single point of failure processed half the country’s claims.
The AMA’s post-attack survey of 1,400 physicians found that one-third reported an inability to submit claims, receive payment, or access electronic remittance advice. Twenty-two percent faced eligibility verification issues that caused substantial revenue loss. Fifty-five percent of practices had to use personal funds to cover regular expenses. And while UnitedHealth Group, the parent of Change Healthcare, reported $99.8 billion in revenue in Q1 2024, independent practices were scrambling just to make payroll.
This week I am going to walk through what the attack revealed, what regulators have since proposed, what it will cost small practices to comply, and what Congress can and should do. The breach is now in the rearview mirror. Unfortunately, the regulatory fallout is just beginning.
It’s funny because they’ve never proven that a virus is circulating to begin with.
My “like” for this historical post continues to disappear. Again and again.

I actually find it disgusting that governments and pharma not only denied the awful prognosis of myocarditis but that internet trolls were employed to push that fake story for their own financial benefit.
Like, truly disgusting.

“We are losing democracy, we are destroying the village to keep the village over and over again.”
Ross is a TV producer living in Los Angeles who grew increasingly concerned at the impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on his children. In response to his two teenagers being kept out of school for almost a year-and-a-half he founded an organisation called LA Uprising to campaign on their behalf. This podcast explores how political polarisation and groupthink led to the imposition of some of the United States’ most stringent controls in the state of California, and how a ‘priestly’ caste of experts were deferred to throughout the period, as politicians relied on fear to engineer consent

The New Yorker just lab-tested research peptides from a popular online vendor.
BPC-157: contained lead.
TB-500: contained endotoxins.
CJC-1295: less than 42% of the labeled dose.
This is what people are injecting into their bodies.
The peptides aren't the problem. The supply chain is. This is exactly why the FDA reclassification matters moving these compounds into regulated compounding pharmacies with cGMP standards and real quality control.

Ozempic modifies the pleasure centers of the brain, making everything people crave less appealing. It doesn’t address the underlying problems of addiction, such as depression or dishonesty. It just eliminates the part of the person that enjoys & revels, the colorful, joyous side.

New statistics from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) show that the use of cardiac medication (ATC group C – heart and circulatory system) among young people aged 15–44 has increased by nearly 28% from 2020 to 2025.
In the group 35-39, there’s an increase of 40,65% !!!
The graph (y-axis: users per 1,000) illustrates that the rise began in 2021, coinciding with the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine to younger age groups from the summer of that year.
The increase has continued in the following years, and the trend does not appear to be slowing down.
Interestingly, there was no increase in 2020. This aligns with an Israeli study that found no association between myocarditis and COVID-19 infection before the vaccine rollout began.
Today, we have a drug made of “salt forms of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist,” being pushed by physicians that allows people to silence the addict within.
