The Human Race is Under Assault
The last decade of my life has been interesting. Not because I’ve spent the time traveling the world or accomplishing some level of greatness I set out to achieve. No, it’s because my understanding of what we all perceive as reality has grown and morphed over the years. I’ve learned that if you pay enough attention to life you’ll discover patterns that have existed since the dawn of humanity. Most people, however, are too busy racing through life chasing dreams and goals to even notice. Selfish ambition can operate as a virus, or better yet a parasite that’s infected and taken over its host. Once taken over, the host loses self awareness and motor functions. I think it’s imperative to avoid life’s parasitic effects. But it’s hard for people to do that because critical thinking is at an all-time low.
I’ve always been curious, questioning pretty much anything especially if it lacks coherence. A lot of things can sound good or even sensible, but that’s until you add right thinking and don’t allow your brain to coast. For example; there are people that claim there is no God because there’s no evidence to support His existence. Well, that sounds good and even sensible, until you think a bit more critically about the claim. Who gets to define what God is? What classifies as evidence? What rules determine God must exist in any form palatable to humans? If God is invisible by nature, how can lack of visibility serve as evidence against His existence? Critical thinking has become an old past time like kids playing outside until the street lights came on. And as a parent I miss those days.
As I sat down to write this article I had to ask myself if there was an easy way to convey that you, the reader, happen to be stuck in a cacophony of ideas that are strung together to deliver the illusion of reality. And that resting in the false sense of intellectualism and bravery won’t pull you out. This is a hard task but I think it can be done. Chiefly because I have faith in you, the reader, to discern some of what I want to share. The easiest way to approach this task -so I believe- is to just lay out a few concerns that will elucidate my point. All of what I’m going to share, effects you.
The human race is being poisoned
I started to realize something was not right here on earth back in 1997. I had been deployed to Kuwait while in the United States Air Force and fell ill after a few months. To be honest, it wasn’t anything serious, just a bit of upset stomach, nausea and no desire to eat for days. The medical staff assumed I had food poisoning or potentially a parasite which was common while being deployed to the Middle East. I received some antibiotics to “make me better”. Well, I went from not well to experiencing a completely wrecked gut biome over the next couple of decades thanks to the hard work of all the healthcare and nutrition “experts” under the banner of medical care. Today my health looks different as I’m healing, without the help of standard doctors or physicians I might add. Over the years of dealing with my health I learned humans don’t know as much as we pretend to know, regardless of how many degrees and certificates we create for ourselves. My health is near optimum at this point and it was long road to get here. During my journey I came to realize just how many people are on this same journey…most.
In fact, according to a 2022 report, only 6.8% of Americans are metabolically healthy. Why is that? How could this happen in a country of great wealth and a health care industry worth over $4.3 trillion? If humans have always been on this trajectory then we would have died out thousands of years ago. This means, something is off. This is just common sense. Something has changed recently. See chart below.
A question we need to ask ourselves is, what caused obesity to take off like a rocket in 1980? I’ll tell you. The 1980 institution of Dietary Guidelines. See, before 1980, going all the way back to the dawn of man, humans knew how and what to eat. We ate meat, fat and salt and lots of it. And contrary to popular belief there’s evidence to back this up. As well as common sense. However, hubris and greed became the impetus for telling humans there was a “new way to eat” which enabled the food industry to create cheaper food with “fatter” margins.
Remember when I mentioned coherence? The Dietary Guidelines are proof of the lack thereof. It states to avoid eating too much sugar, yet encourages getting adequate starch, fiber and hey, you can also drink alcohol. It also encourages eating a variety of foods such as grains, enriched bread, beans, peas and fruit. You know, sugar. But hey, make sure you avoid too much sugar while stuffing your face with any and all carbohydrates. Apparently, people were eating too much fat and cholesterol rich foods and weren’t obese enough so this needed to change. Remarkably, right around 1980 humans forgot how to eat properly and needed random stranger to re-educate them. The question we must ask ourselves, is what and whowas behind this? And before you think this is an American problem, it’s a global issue with the rise of diabetes and insulin resistance. However, according to a study in 2018, what is known as metabolic syndrome started in the Western world. Go America.
Now, I don’t want to go too far down the rabbit hole on health. We’ll get to all of this in upcoming articles. But know this, what you see isn’t an accident.
The Government is corrupt
I remember years ago having a conversation with a co-worker who went ballistic after I told him the government isn’t on his side. He couldn’t wrap his brain around the idea that the government isn’t really for him but instead, is for itself. For many well meaning citizens, this is a terrifying thought.
Every election cycle millions of people run to voting booths in an attempt to democratically alter the direction of the country in their favor. The very thought that perhaps, just perhaps, they’re wasting their time is not something most people can mentally handle.
I often tell this story of my stint in the Air Force and the administration of the Anthrax vaccine to U.S. military personnel starting in 1998. The Department of Defense was worried about the potential increase of biological warfare so they mandated all military personnel to receive the vaccine. If you refused you could be court-martialed or even forced out of the military. By the time the vaccine rolled around to me I had less than one year left in the service so I could opt out of it. So I did. I could have taken it, but I had heard too many horror stories about the vaccine making people incredibly ill. In fact, when the vaccine program was initiated it was given as a single dose. But the side effects were so bad the vaccine had to be broken down into two separate shots and then again later until it reached a six dose shot. So in order to be “protected” it would take up to 18 months to ensure there was enough time between each dose to not render the recipient with a life-long illness…
