Every food a child has ever been bribed to eat is a plant, and every bribe has been an animal or a sugar.
No child has ever been bribed to eat butter.
No child has ever been bribed to eat bacon.
No child has ever been bribed to eat the crackling.
No child has ever been bribed to eat a sausage, a chip fried in dripping, or the skin off the roast chicken.
No child has ever been bribed to drink full-fat milk.
Every child has been bribed to eat broccoli.
Every child has been bribed to eat the sprouts, the cabbage, the spinach, the peas, the swede and whatever that was on the side of the plate on Sundays.
Nobody has ever hidden steak inside a vegetable to get it into a child.
Entire cookbooks exist for hiding vegetables inside cheese.
Three more bites. Finish your greens. No pudding until the plate is clear.
The deal in every kitchen is the same: eat the plant and you may have the thing you actually wanted.
Children have been making this trade for a hundred years and losing every time, because the thing they wanted was the nutrition and the thing they were forced through was the ballast.
No parent has ever said finish your steak and you can have a sprout.

Testosterone is made from cholesterol.
Oestrogen is made from cholesterol.
Progesterone, the hormone that holds a pregnancy, is made from cholesterol.
Cortisol, the hormone that gets you through a crisis, is made from cholesterol.
Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, by sunlight, in your skin.
The bile that digests your fat is made from cholesterol.
Every cell in your body is wrapped in a membrane stiffened with cholesterol.
Every nerve is insulated with myelin packed with cholesterol.
Your brain is 2% of your body weight and holds about a quarter of your cholesterol.
Breast milk is loaded with it, because a baby's brain can't be built without it.
Most infant formula has almost none.
Pregnancy raises it by up to half, because building a human takes a lot of it.
Eat less of it and your liver simply makes more, because the body refuses to run without it.
Then, in the late 1970s, we declared war on it.
Around 8 million people in England now take a pill to lower it.
That pill raises the risk of diabetes by about a tenth.
Sperm counts have more than halved.
Men's testosterone has been sliding about 1% a year, age for age.
Antidepressant prescriptions in England have more than doubled since 2008.
And in people over 70, the lowest cholesterol tracks with dying soonest.
Reports from the front say the war is going well.
Stratton is going to be a US Senator.
Illinois is a National embarassment, and it's as much the fault of the @GOP as it is the IL voters who still don't realize the Dem party isn't what it used to be, but rather a haven for socialists and fraudsters.
Wiki doesn't even bother with a photo of the Republican candidatr. The GOP doesn't even want to try. Weak.

I don't understand why progressives don't understand this. The rest of the Middle East and most of the Muslim world do not support the Palestinians. But white progressive in the US & EU know better than the other Arab states.

๐จ๐จ THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK / THE DEMOCRACY FILES: A PRIMER ๐จ
I will be using this thread to track all drops, so bookmark it.
I spent most of yesterday backing everything (now 312 gigabytes) up in various sources and getting the materials out to others. I also produced an AI video (below) to explain the whole thing to others are not on ๐ - feel free to distribute.
Here's the primer:
USAID, the foreign aid agency, had a democracy office. Inside the agency, it was called DRG.
Officially, DRG administered "democracy assistance." They'd go inside countries they thought were sliding into authoritarianism and help the opposition there. That assistance included election monitoring, judicary support, independent media, and civil society building.
You may have heard the term "color revolution." The model comes from Serbia in 2000, where trained student activists brought down Milosevic with the help of Western governments, after sustained protests. With the help of USAID's democracy office, this model was implemented in many other countries to topple governments: Georgia's "Rose Revolution" in 2003, Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" in 2004, and many more.
Then last year, DOGE shut down USAID. But the USAID democracy office didn't stop. They formed a group called the Democracy Renewal Group, the same initials as their office (USAID Democracy, Human Rights, Governance). Their goal: apply their own playbook to the United States itself.
This goal became a plan, called Renew American Democracy (RAD). It invoked the "4 B's" framework. Block - use lawfare and protests to make life harder for the Trump administration. Bridge & Belong - control dialogue and win people over. The final and most important B is Build. Build means redesigning the American government itself, and the crisis is the opening.
In their own words:
"We can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment." - Danielle Reiff, DRG lead.
Calls show DRG working alongside DSA on ideas of creating a different government, one that does away with the Constitution itself.
DRG does not run the Block operations. They hand it to UDA, the United Democracy Alliance. One organizer calls it a "huge galaxy": lawsuits, street protests, non-cooperation. They list No Kings, Indivisible, MoveOn, 50501, and many other mega-activist NGOs among their members.
Another organizer calls UDA Erica Chenoweth's project. Chenoweth is the Harvard professor behind the three-and-half-percent rule of regime change: get that share of a country's populace onto the streets, and historically, the movement wins.
The UDA is very "hush-hush." They have no website, no roster, no filings.
Then come the red lines: things the Trump administration could do, such as calling the Insurrection Act on protesters, that would mean that the federal government, in their words, "crosses the threshold into illegitimacy." Nobody voted on those lines. There was no public debate. These red lines were developed within secretive working groups, and in a paper addressed to governors and staff.
In the words of Reiff/DRG:
"So that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a Constitutional crisis, like everyone's already pre-organized. And so Mike Smith actually said, he goes, oh, you guys have the day after tomorrow plan."
Cross a line, and the paper's options include states refusing to lend their resources to federal officials, and governors convening what it calls a "Third Continential Congress."
Running the UDA's Insurrection Act working group: Rear Admiral Mike Smith (RET) of National Security Leaders of America (NSL4A). NSL4A is also credited with operationalizing UDA, the blocking operations. NSL4A consists of about 1,600 ex-officers, spies, diplomats. They're turning red lines into indicators and running a situation room to monitor them throughout the midterms and beyond.
The NSL4A's lawyers told them to stop recording meetings in case of subpoenas. But the rest of the network continued to record. DRG works in conjunction with Renew to Thrive (R2T), which ended up accidentally publishing 400+ calls and thousands of documents. These calls and documents were never meant for our eyes, but it's them, on tape.
Thousands of NGOs and billions of dollars are involved in this endeavor. Most of them believe they're saving democracy. The problem is that people who spent their careers deciding when other countries' governments had lost their legitimacy wrote that test for ours, in private, and planned for what comes after.
Who decides when your government is legitimate?
So the anti-West coalition is rioting/looting in France and we're 21ยฝ hours from kickoff of the Steelers-Saints game in a sold-out stadium with 80,000 fans in Paris.
Sounds lovely!
You know those hard donut spare tires, the ones that say "max speed 45" (or 55) in big block letters on the sidewall?
Yeah, those are temporary, for emergency use, and have a high likelihood of blowing to smithereens if you misuse them.

Major U.S. banks are telling you that AI agents accessing your bank accounts are a security threat.
But is security really their only concern? You need to critically think this one, before you fall into their fear mongering.
They know this is bearish for traditional finance and bullish for Bitcoin, crypto and stable coins.
Talk to me Peteyโฆ how?
so..
AI agents could automatically move your money into higher-yield opportunities, optimize your finances, and eliminate many of the inefficiencies traditional banks profit from.
You know how much idle money sits in US Banks allowing them to profit while many donโt know how to optimize in their favor?
They are scared to lose control, because with their control, they make profits off your money.
So basically my friends, banks arenโt afraid of AI stealing your money.
Theyโre afraid of AI making you more money and then less.
Always think critically.
Question the narrative.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even โday afterโ scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

It was different times, and a cultural segment that was not very accepting, despite the high prevalence within said segment so I understand his feeling the need for secrecy, but it still cracks me up that this line was about his boyfriend.
First of many buys. Let's go (to Mars!)
