Thursday, December 31, 2020 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) In today’s Situation Update for Dec. 31st, we reveal Trump’s plan to unleash bombshell evidence in front of Congress on January 6th, right before Congress votes on which slate of electors to accept. The full podcast is embedded below.

Because of the New Year’s Eve holiday, this update is shorter than most (just 21 minutes), but it packs in a lot of detail about what’s happening:

  • Dominion machines LIVE HACKED during the Georgia Senate hearings on election irregularities, proving that all Dominion-run elections were fraudulent and uncertifiable. (This also proves the Dominion CEO lied during his own recent testimony.)
  • All those officials (governors, secretaries of state, etc.) who certified elections based on Dominion machines are now complicit in a massive criminal fraud operation and can be arrested and charged with sedition and fraud.
  • Georgia State Senate Judiciary Subcommittee unanimously passes a motion to audit Fulton County’s absentee ballots, based on the Dominion fraud demonstration that took place.
  • Bobby Piton calls for the arrest of Stacey Abrams for her role in massive, coordinated election fraud in Georgia.
  • Trump advisor Jason Miller reveals that Trump plans to unleash “specific evidence” to Congress on January 6th, and explains this evidence has never been submitted to any court and isn’t publicly known. (See below for more thoughts on what this might be.)
  • Sen. Josh Hawley announces he will object to electors from fraudulent swing states. Two other Senators (Tuberville and Duncan) join, making it three. (We now know nearly 100 GOP lawmakers are expected to object from the House + Senate.)
  • VP Pence cancels his trip to Israel. Is Pence planning to take decisive action to help save the republic? We doubt it, but the possibility remains.
  • Trump tweets that the election fraud “cannot stand.” He’s drawing his line in the sand.
  • Trump attorney Jenna Ellis lays out legal framework that would allow Trump to justify the Insurrection Act or military authority, explaining that the courts have demonstrated, “dereliction of duty and fidelity to the U.S. Constitution by refusing to take up cases” and that President Trump has been systematically denied “due process” protections under the U.S. Constitution.
  • It is now apparent that Trump’s legal strategy has always been to LOSE in the courts, in order to gather justification for declaring that the entire judicial system has failed and is hopelessly corrupt, which provides the opening to launch military tribunals and ultimately arrest the corrupt judges, including Roberts at SCOTUS.
  • Lara Trump explains how Trump wins on January 6th, but she says the House votes by delegation (one state = one vote), while it’s clear that Pelosi is going to try to force a vote in the House by member (which the Dems would win). The Constitution is unclear on exactly how such a vote goes down, but the 12th Amendment does contain language about contingent elections which indicates the vote should be by delegation, which is what Rep. Mo Brooks is planning to push for.

In addition to all that, Trump quietly extended Executive Order 13818 for one year. What I failed to fully explain in the podcast, due to time limitations, is that this executive order allows the government to bring serious charges and punishments against individuals who are engaged in human rights abuses, which includes pedophilia.

As of today, with a tweet from attorney Lin Wood, we now know that Jeffrey Epstein is alive. Epstein has all the knowledge of the pedophiles in the US Senate and in positions of governorships (as well as SCOTUS, involving Roberts). If Epstein is alive, it means Trump protected him from being killed, and it also means Trump has Epstein’s cooperation to testify against deep state pedophiles.

What if, on January 6th, Trump addresses Congress and reveals that Epstein is alive and is going to testify against all the senators and House members who are pedophiles, and that Trump is going to bring the full force of Executive Order 13818 against those who were complicit in pedophilia or the trafficking of children? That would be a game changer. We could theoretically see 100+ members of Congress resign if that information were revealed.

We don’t know whether this is the real plan, but it’s one possibility. Why did Trump extend EO 13818 for a full year if Trump were planning on leaving the White House on January 20th? Clearly, he’s not planning on leaving. He’s planning, in fact, on prosecuting the traitors.

Trump might also unveil evidence that shows Joe Biden is a corrupt criminal who has taken numerous bribes from China and Ukraine. He could roll out the financial records in front of Congress, declare that Biden will be arrested the following day, and remind members of Congress that if they are complicit in the criminal fraud and sedition against America, they would face arrest as well.

We don’t know exactly what’s going down on January 6th, but it’s something big.

Boston physician vouches for the Moderna coronavirus vaccine that almost TOOK HIS LIFE

by

Note: I am not a pro or anti-vaccine advocate, do your own research and determine for yourself. I can tell you there’s massive propaganda and intentional disinfo disseminated from both sides. Only you can make the right choice for your life. *These stories are anecdotal and may not reflect actual circumstances.

Thursday, December 31, 2020 by: Lance D Johnson

(Natural News) A Boston physician was nearly intubated after taking the first dose of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. Boston Medical Center’s very own, Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, suffered from a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine.

The vaccine injury was an acute medical emergency, occurring within minutes of the injection. The shot increased his heart rate almost immediately. In minutes, his tongue and throat started to tingle before going completely numb. He administered an EpiPen, something he kept on his person due to his history of shellfish allergies. This wasn’t enough to stop the reaction. Dr. Hossein needed medical intervention quickly as his blood pressure dropped dramatically, falling below what was detectable on the monitor.

The doctor was admitted to the ER on Christmas Eve for “shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, and numbness” after receiving Moderna’s covid-19 vaccine. The doctors administered Benadryl and steroids immediately.

Vaccine injured doctor encourages people with allergies to get the shot “in a hospital setting”

On Christmas Day the vaccine injured doctor began to feel normal again. “I feel that if I did not have my EpiPen with me, I would be intubated right now, because it was that severe,” he said after being discharged. He said the experience was the worst allergic reaction he had experienced since he was 11 years old.

Even though he was almost intubated due to the effects of the vaccine, the doctor still recommends that people with allergies get the vaccines as soon as they become available, as long as it’s “in a hospital setting.”

“I really don’t want anybody to go and experience this and go through this event that I had,” he said. In the spirit of medical malpractice, the doctor still believes the vaccine is important, though. He just wants all vaccine recipients to be aware that they too could suffer an allergic reaction. He believes its important for individuals with allergies to have emergency medical care available to them when taking the vaccine.

Doctor offers his blood to his abusers so they can find out why his body won’t tolerate the vaccine

“I knew the symptoms. I had the experience. I was a physician, and I was scared to death. Imagine someone who does not have the information,” the vaccine injured doctor said. Worshiping at the feet of his abuser, Dr. Hossein is now donating his blood to Moderna, the company responsible for the injury. The doctor hopes the company can use his blood sample to identify the ingredient that triggered the allergic reaction. The main culprit behind the vaccine injury is most likely polyethylene glycol (PEG), the lipid nano-particle delivery system that coats the mRNA in the vaccine.

But Moderna, like all other vaccine companies, is not liable for vaccine injury and will not be required to remove their product from the market or improve upon it. Even as vaccine injuries abound, the companies will not be held before a trial by jury. In the past year, vaccine makers entered into liability-free contracts with governments around the world, indemnifying themselves from legal responsibility. Therefore, the doctor offers his blood in vain to the scientists who nearly took his life.

To make matters worse, almost every media outlet is reporting that the vaccine is not responsible for the reaction, that the person who suffers from the reaction is to blame. Moderna and other pharmaceutical companies may soon find an entirely new way to exploit humans, by identifying and targeting the parts of their immune system that are a hindrance to their vaccine science. These companies, consumed by their own God-complex, could pinpoint the “faults” in human genetics and immune function, as they configure optimal pathways to genetically modify humans so they can introduce their vaccine programs flawlessly.

Situation Update, Dec. 30th – CIA, FBI de-cloaking to destroy key evidence of election fraud

by

Note: The following Situation Update may be political disinfo by Trump supporter organizations. Until actual indisputable evidence is presented and verified, this information is for entertainment purposes!

Wednesday, December 30, 2020 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) In today’s Situation Update for Dec. 30th, we analyze a more comprehensive theory of the Nashville bombing which reveals a desperate ploy by the CIA and FBI to destroy key evidence of election fraud.

Importantly, this bombing is proof that the fight is still on, and the deep state is terrified that Trump is about to expose their election crimes. (Which he will, it seems.)

Note also that today, Sen. Josh Hawley (from Missouri) has publicly stated he will challenge the electoral votes from fraudulent swing states on January 6th, invoking the joint session debate over which slate of electors should be recognized. This means there remains the possibility, however small, of a legal / civil outcome for Trump to achieve victory on January 6th, which would avoid Trump needing to invoke more aggressive military authority measures to defend the republic against widespread election fraud and treasonous actors.

The full Situation Update podcast is embedded below.

Note that tomorrow’s podcast will be very short, due to staff limitations on New Year’s Day.

Here are the highlights from today’s podcast, which is especially hilarious at certain moments:

  • “Missile theory” for Nashville gains credibility with new analysis and sources via Jeffrey Prather.
  • Lack of a street crater is now explained by the bomb being a penetrator munition, dropped from altitude and guided to the final target via IR painting. In its final moments, it may have fired its own propellant to accelerate velocity for maximum penetration. This explains the “missile trail” in the skyline video.
  • The NY Times is now warning Pence to not invoke his authority on January 6th, thereby confirming that this tactic would be effective and should be invoked by Pence.
  • Biden confirms the Trump administration is keeping Biden in the dark on national defense, further demonstrating that Trump has no plans for any transition of power to treasonous China puppet Joe Biden.
  • Grocery stores and pharmacies across America are engaged in “prison camp training” with mask mandates, floor placards for social distancing, and coming mandatory vaccines. This is attempting to normalize Americans to the upcoming FEMA camps which will house, and then eliminate, tens of millions of new homeless whose livelihoods were deliberately destroyed by punitive lockdowns.
  • Most people have joined an insane covid cult called the “Branch Covidians,” and obedience is mandatory.
  • Masks no longer have any justifiable purpose since recent science proves that asymptomatic people don’t spread the coronavirus.
  • A secret provision in the government funding bill has the US Senate demanding all government agencies reveal everything they know about UFOs within 180 days. Is the world preparing for disclosure? (I’m getting more hints of orbital weapons tech now in play, by the way…)
  • Most likely explanation of the Nashville attack involves a 250 lb. SDB (Small Diameter Bomb) dropped from a CIA-controlled MQ9 Reaper, which was able to escape because the explosion also took out the ZME air space comms and controls of the FAA.
  • The FBI rapidly appeared on the scene in order to bury the evidence of their crimes, confirms Prather. This has long been the role of the FBI: To cover up the crimes of the deep state and shape the ridiculous public narrative.
  • US Army is now outfitting Stryker vehicles with high-energy laser weapons systems in the 50 kW range of power. That’s the public explanation. Secretly, the power is no doubt much higher.
  • Trump campaign files with SCOTUS to overturn Wisconsin fraud. We don’t expect this to achieve victory, but it’s establishing the justification for Trump to invoke military solutions after exhausting every possible civil court / legal option.
  • AZ GOP electors join the lawsuit against Pence, hoping to force the courts to conclude Pence has absolute authority to throw out electoral votes from fraudulent states.
  • Sidney Powell lays out evidence for rampant election fraud.
  • The GOP is history. Trump supporters prepare to abandon the GOP. Trump is the model for the future of any pro-America party. Mitch McConnell just committed political suicide, and he’s going to drag the entire GOP down with him. Good riddance! Ditch Mitch!
  • Full reveal of the ownership structure behind Dominion.
  • The use of modems on voting machines renders all such elections “uncertifiable” and invalid.
  • More proof the covid-19 vaccine is spreading covid, just as we warned would be the case. People are getting sick from covid after getting the vaccine.

Situation Update, Dec. 29th – Extensive evidence of foreign interference in the US election is now surfacing

Image: Situation Update, Dec. 29th – Extensive evidence of foreign interference in the US election is now surfacing

(Natural News) Today’s Situation Update for Dec. 29th covers the new outpouring of extensive evidence of foreign interference in the US election.

The November 3rd election, it turns out, was actually an act of cyber warfare initiated by foreign aggressors against the United States. That’s why the election outcome is null and void and will eventually be halted.

As Creative Destruction Media reports, Dominion voting machines sent ballots for adjudication to at least four countries on election night and over subsequent days:

  • The Dominion Voting system is owned and controlled by foreign entities. We lose control of the data when it goes to a foreign country.
  • The electronic information went to Germany, Barcelona, Serbia, and Canada.
  • Dominion Voting Systems and related companies are owned or heavily controlled and influenced by foreign agents, countries, and interests. The forensic report prepared by experts found that “the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.
  • The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors…The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud.”
  • The report found the election management system to be wrought with unacceptable and unlawful vulnerabilities—including access to the internet— probable cause to find evidence of fraud, and numerous malicious actions.
  • Dominion and Smartmatic share a physical address in Barbados despite their insistence that there is no relationship between the companies. They also have a mutual non- compete agreement.
  • Hootan Yaghoobzadeh is the CEO and Chairman of Staple Street Capital, which is the entity that owns Dominion. Hootan Yaghoobzadeh was a close confidant to Sadaam Hussein and worked for the Saudi Bin Laden group.
  • Kavtech is a Pakistan based Business Intelligence firm with ties to the Pakistani intelligence ISI. The Co-Founder Waqas Butt is cc’d on emails containing personally identifiable voter information from the Nevada Secretary of State. The lead data scientist named Bilal Khan Nawabzada tweets directly to ISI.

As more of this type of evidence surfaces, it activates three pathways of nullifying the election:

  1. It provides DNI John Ratcliffe more details for his upcoming report of foreign interference in the US election.
  2. It gives members of congress justification to object to the Biden slate of electors on January 6th and elect the Trump slate instead.
  3. It provides President Trump the executive justification he needs to declare the election to be an act of warfare against the United States, triggering a whole series of national defense actions, including invoking military authority to nullify the rigged election.

Trump threatens to not sign COVID-19 bill, wants bigger stimulus checks

by

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday not to sign a $892-billion coronavirus relief bill that includes desperately needed money for individual Americans, saying it should be amended to increase the amount in the stimulus checks.

The outgoing Republican president’s threat, with less than a month left in office, throws into turmoil a bipartisan effort in Congress to provide help for people whose lives have been upended by the pandemic.

“The bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated,” Trump said in a video posted on Twitter. “It really is a disgrace.”

Both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate passed the legislation on Monday night.

Trump said he wants Congress to increase the amount in the stimulus checks to $2,000 for individuals or $4,000 for couples, instead of the “ridiculously low” $600 for individuals currently in the bill.

Trump also complained about money in the legislation for foreign countries, the Smithsonian Institution and fish breeding, among other spending.

“I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation, and to send me a suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package. And maybe that administration will be me,” he said.

Situation Update, Dec. 21st – The Pence-Raiklin Maneuver

by

Monday, December 21, 2020 by: Mike Adams

(Natural News) In today’s Situation Update for Dec. 21st, we discuss the “Pence-Raiklin Maneuver,” which provides yet another mechanism for Trump to achieve a decisive victory by January 6th, even without any support from SCOTUS or from the U.S. Congress.

Here are the highlights of today’s podcast (full embed below):

  • Once Bill Barr is gone on Thursday, acting AG or acting Deputy AG can appoint Sidney Powell as special counsel.
  • Why Trump must use the National Emergency Broadcast System to communicate with the American people and bypass the media / Big Tech siege that continues.
  • The Dan Scavino tweets: Lincoln, Churchill, American Bald Eagle. What these symbols mean.
  • Why “martial law = fake news” … because the Insurrection Act is not martial law.
  • Full discussion of Patrick Byrne and his assertion that Trump’s advisors and legal team are backstabbing traitors who are trying to get Trump to concede.
  • Full discussion of the Pence-Raiklin Maneuver and how it leads to a Trump victory with 232 electoral votes (with Biden receiving 227).
  • Sidney Powell’s multiple meetings at the White House and what this likely means.
  • Details of the new filing with SCOTUS by Trump’s legal team over Pennsylvania’s illegal election extensions. How this alone could be a path to victory across all the swing states.
  • Gen. Flynn’s announcement that foreign intelligence officials monitored the election fraud and are willing to share all those details with Trump. We know who this is referring to. Full details in the podcast.
  • How Biden got 13 million impossible votes – “Phantom” voters, zombie voters and more.
  • How Michigan continues to engage in criminal cover-ups to hide the evidence of Dominion voting machine election fraud. These people are going to prison.
  • Sen. Cruz says it’s time to arrest and prosecute all those involved in voter fraud.
  • Rep. Matt Gaetz confirms he will challenge the fraudulent electoral votes on Jan. 6th. Sen-elect Tuberville is also likely to join the coalition against the vote fraud.
  • Biden to receive a fake coronavirus vaccine today.
  • Wicked Fauci says he flew to the North Pole and vaccinated Santa Claus, terrorizing children.
  • US states position experimental vaccines for genocide against Blacks, wielding bioweapons for infertility and death.
  • Sen. Rand Paul rejects fake science surrounding masks.
  • GOP congressman affirms the covid vaccines is more dangerous than covid-19 itself. Says he won’t take the vaccine.
  • Why Democrats are not “fully qualified human beings.”

Situation Update, Dec. 20th – The Misdirection Ploy – How to seize everything without using the military

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) for building strong immune system against CV

by

What is vitamin D and what does it do?

Vitamin D is a nutrient found in some foods that is needed for health and to maintain strong bones. It does so by helping the body absorb calcium (one of bone’s main building blocks) from food and supplements. People who get too little vitamin D may develop soft, thin, and brittle bones, a condition known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

Vitamin D is important to the body in many other ways as well. Muscles need it to move, for example, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part, and the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body.

How much vitamin D do I need?

The amount of vitamin D you need each day depends on your age. Average daily recommended amounts are listed below in micrograms (mcg) and International Units (IU):

Life StageRecommended Amount
Birth to 12 months10 mcg (400 IU)
Children 1–13 years15 mcg (600 IU)
Teens 14–18 years15 mcg (600 IU)
Adults 19–70 years15 mcg (600 IU)
Adults 71 years and older20 mcg (800 IU)
Pregnant and breastfeeding women15 mcg (600 IU)

What foods provide vitamin D?

Very few foods naturally have vitamin D. Fortified foods provide most of the vitamin D in American diets.

  • Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel are among the best sources.
  • Beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks provide small amounts.
  • Mushrooms provide some vitamin D. In some mushrooms that are newly available in stores, the vitamin D content is being boosted by exposing these mushrooms to ultraviolet light.
  • Almost all of the U.S. milk supply is fortified with 400 IU of vitamin D per quart, and so are many of the plant-based alternatives such as soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk. But foods made from milk, like cheese and ice cream, are usually not fortified.
  • Vitamin D is added to many breakfast cereals and to some brands of orange juice, yogurt, margarine, and soy beverages; check the labels.

Can I get vitamin D from the sun?

The body makes vitamin D when skin is directly exposed to the sun, and most people meet at least some of their vitamin D needs this way. Skin exposed to sunshine indoors through a window will not produce vitamin D. Cloudy days, shade, and having dark-colored skin also cut down on the amount of vitamin D the skin makes.

However, despite the importance of the sun to vitamin D synthesis, it is prudent to limit exposure of skin to sunlight in order to lower the risk for skin cancer. When out in the sun for more than a few minutes, wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 8 or more. Tanning beds also cause the skin to make vitamin D, but pose similar risks for skin cancer.

People who avoid the sun or who cover their bodies with sunscreen or clothing should include good sources of vitamin D in their diets or take a supplement. Recommended intakes of vitamin D are set on the assumption of little sun exposure.

What kinds of vitamin D dietary supplements are available?

Vitamin D is found in supplements (and fortified foods) in two different forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Both increase vitamin D in the blood.

Am I getting enough vitamin D?

Because vitamin D can come from sun, food, and supplements, the best measure of one’s vitamin D status is blood levels of a form known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Levels are described in either nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) or nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), where 1 nmol/L = 0.4 ng/mL.

In general, levels below 30 nmol/L (12 ng/mL) are too low for bone or overall health, and levels above 125 nmol/L (50 ng/mL) are probably too high. Levels of 50 nmol/L or above (20 ng/mL or above) are sufficient for most people.

By these measures, some Americans are vitamin D deficient and almost no one has levels that are too high. In general, young people have higher blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D than older people and males have higher levels than females. By race, non-Hispanic blacks tend to have the lowest levels and non-Hispanic whites the highest. The majority of Americans have blood levels lower than 75 nmol/L (30 ng/mL).

Certain other groups may not get enough vitamin D:

  • Breastfed infants, because human milk is a poor source of the nutrient. Breastfed infants should be given a supplement of 400 IU of vitamin D each day.
  • Older adults, because their skin doesn’t make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as efficiently as when they were young, and their kidneys are less able to convert vitamin D to its active form.
  • People with dark skin, because their skin has less ability to produce vitamin D from the sun.
  • People with disorders such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease who don’t handle fat properly, because vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed.
  • Obese people, because their body fat binds to some vitamin D and prevents it from getting into the blood.

What happens if I don’t get enough vitamin D?

People can become deficient in vitamin D because they don’t consume enough or absorb enough from food, their exposure to sunlight is limited, or their kidneys cannot convert vitamin D to its active form in the body. In children, vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, a condition in which the bones become soft and bend. It’s a rare disease but still occurs, especially among African American infants and children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, causing bone pain and muscle weakness.

What are some effects of vitamin D on health?

Vitamin D is being studied for its possible connections to several diseases and medical problems, including diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Two of them discussed below are bone disorders and some types of cancer.

Bone disorders

As they get older, millions of people (mostly women, but men too) develop, or are at risk of, osteoporosis, condition in which bones become fragile and may fracture if one falls. It is one consequence of not getting enough calcium and vitamin D over the long term. Supplements of both vitamin D3 (at 700–800 IU/day) and calcium (500–1,200 mg/day) have been shown to reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures in elderly people aged 62–85 years. Men and women should talk with their healthcare providers about their needs for vitamin D (and calcium) as part of an overall plan to prevent or treat osteoporosis.

Cancer

Some studies suggest that vitamin D may protect against colon cancer and perhaps even cancers of the prostate and breast. But higher levels of vitamin D in the blood have also been linked to higher rates of pancreatic cancer. At this time, it’s too early to say whether low vitamin D status increases cancer risk and whether higher levels protect or even increase risk in some people.

Can vitamin D be harmful?

Yes, when amounts in the blood become too high. Signs of toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss. And by raising blood levels of calcium, too much vitamin D can cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm. Excess vitamin D can also damage the kidneys.

The daily upper limit for vitamin D is 25 mcg to 38 mcg (1,000 to 1,500 IU) for infants; 63 mcg to 75 mcg (2,500 to 3,000 IU) for children 1-8 years; and 100 mcg (4,000 IU) for children 9 years and older, adults, and pregnant and lactating teens and women. Vitamin D toxicity almost always occurs from overuse of supplements. Excessive sun exposure doesn’t cause vitamin D toxicity because the body limits the amount of this vitamin it produces.

Are there any interactions with vitamin D that I should know about?

Like most dietary supplements, vitamin D may interact or interfere with other medicines or supplements you might be taking. Here are several examples:

  • Prednisone and other corticosteroid medicines to reduce inflammation impair how the body handles vitamin D, which leads to lower calcium absorption and loss of bone over time.
  • Both the weight-loss drug orlistat (brand names Xenical® and Alli®) and the cholesterol-lowering drug cholestyramine (brand names Questran®, LoCholest®, and Prevalite®) can reduce the absorption of vitamin D and other fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, and K).
  • Both phenobarbital and phenytoin (brand name Dilantin®), used to prevent and control epileptic seizures, increase the breakdown of vitamin D and reduce calcium absorption.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, and other healthcare providers about any dietary supplements and medicines you take. They can tell you if those dietary supplements might interact or interfere with your prescription or over-the-counter medicines, or if the medicines might interfere with how your body absorbs, uses, or breaks down nutrients.

Vitamin D and healthful eating

People should get most of their nutrients from food and beverages, advises the federal government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Foods contain vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and other substances that benefit health. In some cases, fortified foods and dietary supplements may provide nutrients that otherwise may be consumed in less-than-recommended amounts. For more information about building a healthy diet, refer to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate.

I can’t believe it: I agree with AOC

by

Simon Black December 22, 2020 Sovereign Valley Farm, Chile

Since the beginning of March, the US federal government has spent more than $5 trillion battling the Coronavirus and the effects of COVID-19. And governments around the world, from Europe to China, have spent trillions more.

And that amount doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the long-term economic toll, including then incalculable cost of shutting down the economy.

Government-imposed lockdowns have wiped out trillions of dollars, pushing businesses to failure and costing millions of jobs.

And this economic toll also affects tax revenue; with the economy notably weaker, government tax revenue is almost nonexistent this year. So they’re spending record sums of money while generating minimal revenue.

Unsurprisingly, debt levels have spiraled out of control.

We’re supposed to cancel everything, avoid friends and family, pepper spray anyone who isn’t wearing a mask, and cower in fear in our homes… all because of a virus that, by one recent estimate in the European Journal of Epidemiology, has a survival rate of 99.9%.

But even still, they’re back at it. More lock downs, more endless spending, more debt.

The United States Congress just passed yet another ‘Covid relief’ bill. Technically it includes general spending provisions for Fiscal Year 2021 (to avoid yet another government shut down).

But the biggest chunk of it is COVID relief, which comprises nearly $1 trillion of the spending. The total bill is more than FIVE THOUSAND PAGES, and it embodies the old political phrase, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

If the purpose of the bill really is to provide relief to Americans, then the bill should (in theory) be a few paragraphs at most.

But this bill is literally 5,593 pages… and contains some of the most absurd provisions imaginable.

For starters, Americans will receive $600 in ‘relief’.

So, you’re not allowed to operate your business and earn a living for yourself. And in exchange, the government will will send you enough money to buy some new clothes so you can stay warm while you stand in line at the soup kitchen.

But that doesn’t even begin to showcase the utter waste in this bill:

Page 1,461 of the bill, for example, authorizes nearly $135 million for BURMA (aka Myanmar) “to promote ethnic and religious tolerance . . . in Kachin, Karen, Rakhine, and Shan states”.

What bureaucrat could possibly come up with something so absurd? You get $600. But a bunch of corrupt generals in Burma get to rake in US taxpayer funds under the guise of ethnic and religious tolerance… but ONLY in FOUR out of Burma’s 14 states.

(Tough luck if you’re a Burmese warlord living in the state of Bago or Yangon… because obviously it would be ridiculous to give those states any money.)

Another $45 million of taxpayer money (page 1,491) will be awarded to key government officials in Central America– places like El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala– in order to “combat corruption”.

You can’t make this stuff up– they are giving money to corrupt politicians to fund anti-corruption programs. It’s genius!

Another $10 million of taxpayer money (page 1,486) will be given to the government of Pakistan SPECIFICALLY for gender studies programs.

They’re giving boatloads of money to plenty of foreign countries, including Ukraine ($453 million), Sudan ($700 million), the Republic of Georgia ($132 million), Bangladesh ($198 million), Vietnam ($170 million), and several others.

Then there’s the small matter of $33 million for “democracy programs” in Venezuela. I’m sure Nicholas Maduro will use those funds well.

(The real irony is that, while allocated $33 million for Venezuela on page 1498, page 1347 of the bill expressly prohibits any funding for Venezuela. Unbelievable.)

Perhaps most noteworthy is that Members of Congress didn’t receive the final bill yesterday until roughly two hours before the scheduled vote.

Now, Anne Jones, the six-time World Speed Reading Competition champion is able to read an average of 4,200 words per minute with 67% comprehension.

So it would take her more than nine hours to read this bill in its entirety, and she’d still lose about a third of it.

There’s no way anyone in Congress was able to read this bill, or even thumb through enough of it to understand the big picture. And yet they still voted in favor of it, costing taxpayers another trillion dollars.

And that led a very angry Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to take to Twitter and lament,

“This is why Congress needs time to actually read this package before voting on it. Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5000 pages, arrived at 2pm today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in 2 hours. This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking.”

For once I actually agree with AOC. This is an absurd process that exemplifies everything wrong with government: it’s wasteful, ignorant, out of touch, oblivious, embarrassing, shameful, and corrupt.

As an aside, Joe Biden praised the process by which the bill was passed, saying “I applaud the bipartisan Congressional economic relief package” and called it “a model for the challenging work ahead.”

Something tells me he didn’t read the bill either.
