I asked @EthicalSkeptic to find CDC data for sudden cardiac death in males ages 5 - 21.
The rate since the rollout of the COVID shots is 7 standard deviations above the baseline rate and is still rising.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk's SpaceX is reportedly in talks to access at least 80,000 THOUSAND U.S. cell tower sites as it gears up to launch its own nationwide wireless carrier — Bloomberg
Elon is about to send SHOCKWAVES around the nation! 🇺🇸
Starlink Mobile's next-gen satellites start launching in 2027
SpaceX could take "quite a few" customers from AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Those three bring in about $600 billion a year combined
THIS IS HUGE.
Don't bet against @ElonMusk.

Just astounding what R3.2 B can do
We have got so used to seeing hundreds of billions wasted on SOE’s over the past 30 yrs and basically stolen by corrupt ANC officials and their mates…think Tembisa hospital.
🚧UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Latest drone shots of the R3.2 billion private Afrikaans university being developed on a 220-hectare site in Pretoria East.
A week after the team cast the dome’s ring beam inside what will become an amphitheatre at Akademia’s campus, they began exposing the concrete and tensioning the cables.
The central needle will reach 25 metres high, while the ring beam stands 13 metres tall and measures 33 metres in diameter. The project has already involved pouring 280 tonnes of concrete to create a dome spanning 850m2.
Quick facts about the development:
• Completion: 2028
• Location: near Boschkop Road, 8 km from Solomon Mahlangu Drive
• First phase is valued at: R1.8 billion
• The campus includes: learning centres, sporting facilities, a library, offices, an amphitheatre, coffee shops, an agricultural facility with its own farm, a cafeteria, a student centre, lecture rooms and laboratories. It will also include 8 student residences with 1,500 beds.
Akademia is targeting an initial enrolment of 3,500 students studying on campus in its first year.

The latest from opening of the Civil hearing in the Netherlands accusing Bill Gates , Albert Bourla and others of producing and distributing bioweapons ( the Covid jabs)
There will be no coverage of this hearing in the legacy media which tells you exactly who owns and controls them.
🚨🚨#BillGatesOnTrial - Attorney Peter Stassen in his opening statement:
✅The defendants have committed unlawful conduct and negligence violating Dutch law and the Nuremberg Code and amounts to genocide.
✅The entire COVID 19 'official narrative' is on trial and it has been established that COVID 19 was not a health emergency it was a globally coordinated project to subject humanity to toxic shots which meet the technical, legal and biological definition of ‘bio-weapons’ as deployed, military countermeasures.
✅This assertion is supported by over 14,000 pages of SOURCE documentation and original contracts which has been submitted by the plaintiffs attorney.

Your brother speaks at a city council meeting against digital ID.
His comments are recorded. His verified identity is attached to the video. AI analyzes it.
Two weeks later, his premiums triple. His mortgage is denied. His employer is told he is a reputational risk.
No arrest. No charge. He just spoke.
This is what digital ID makes possible, and it is being built right now. Online child safety laws are how it gets installed.
Share this with someone who thinks speaking up is still safe.
Follow me. Every day I show you what is coming and how to stop it.

I spent 6 years believing the same thing your doctor believes. That LDL cholesterol is the enemy. Lower it and you win.
Then I found the data they never show you.
They lowered LDL to 30. The lowest levels ever achieved in human medicine. And 80 percent of the cardiovascular risk was still there.
They did not call it a failure. They called it "residual risk."
I call it the twelve heads they never checked.

We, the authors, retracted the paper, @Drlipid
This was due to the anomalous @Cleerlyhealth dataset they provided us alongside their repeated refusal to quality control check their work.
Study participants have since resubmitted their scans and have gotten results far more in line with the other independent analyses from Heartflow and QAngio.
So yes, understandably, we moved to withdraw the paper leading to its retraction.
(This has been known for over half year now.)

Regarding Our Request to Retract the Cleerly Analysis
I’ve recently discussed the news that we’ve had multiple participants from the KETO-CTA study independently resubmit their heart scans (CTA) to Cleerly. (See below)
The results showed notable differences from the original Cleerly analysis. That said, these individual submissions were broadly consistent with the other independent analyses within our study.
Moreover, after publication of the paper, we learned the data provided to Cleerly was not fully blinded. Despite our repeated requests (including offers to cover costs), Cleerly declined to perform a fully blinded re-analysis.
It’s worth emphasizing, as with any other longitudinal study, it has always been the expectation of the research team that all analyses would be fully blinded – this isn’t just standard, it’s vital for the integrity of the study itself.
Given we could no longer stand behind the Cleerly-specific portion of the April 7th paper, we formally asked JACC Advances to withdraw this paper, citing this Cleerly dataset and our concerns regarding its validity.
On January 12, 2026, the journal confirmed a full retraction. We expect its official posting on this soon.
Our primary paper—which includes the HeartFlow and pre-specified QAngio analyses—is currently in peer review. Importantly, the two principal findings reported in the original paper— (1) baseline plaque strongly predicts future plaque progression, and (2) ApoB was not associated with plaque progression—were independently reproduced in both the HeartFlow and QAngio analyses.
We're excited to share these updated, blinded analyses in the peer-reviewed process soon. You can find the preprint linked below.
And once again, thanks to everyone for all your support.

Steve Irwin was one of the most passionate animal lovers on the planet. He also wasn’t a vegetarian, and he had a clear reason why.
In a 2001 interview with Scientific American he explained that he went through a phase where he seriously considered going vegetarian. He researched it hard. His conclusion was the opposite of what most people assume.
He used a simple land-use example: one cow could keep him fed for roughly a month. That same piece of land could still have trees, grass, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, birds, and the rest of the Australian wildlife living in and around it. The cow and the wild animals could coexist.
A plant-only diet for the same period, he argued, required clearing more land just for crops. Once you level that ground for rice or whatever else, almost nothing else can live there except a few pest insects. Habitat gone. Wildlife gone.
He wasn’t anti-meat. He was anti-destroying habitat. And he drew a hard line on which animals should be eaten. He hated the idea of farming or eating Australia’s icons — kangaroos, emus, crocodiles. Those animals were part of the country’s identity and tourism. He wanted people eating the livestock that already occupied grazing land (beef, lamb, etc.), not turning the bush into more monoculture or harvesting the wildlife itself.
On the day he died he had a classic Aussie breakfast: bacon and eggs. He lived a high-output outdoor life and fueled it with real food, not ideology.
Irwin’s position was straightforward: protect the wild animals, keep the land working, and don’t pretend that clearing more ground for plants is automatically better for nature. A lot of modern “eat less meat for the environment” arguments still haven’t grappled with the trade-off he laid out more than 20 years ago.

It’s officially official.
This weekend Turkeys lead archeologist Dr. Cenker Atila reviewed and confirmed that Dr Bakhtar’s Report become an official and key development in the study at Noah’s Ark.
Dr. Bakhtar is America’s top rock mechanics expert, a 40 year defense scientist, and inventor of DOD’s Bakhtar Radar, and he just proved that the Durupinar Formation is NOT geological, and that there is a 3 tiered manmade structure beneath the surface with organized hallways, chambers, and corridors.
The hallways run over 4 meters high.
The “It’s just a pile of rocks” theory by armchair archeologists has just been completely destroyed.
Ahhh I’m so excited! It’s all real!!

Excellent storytelling by Shaun Pollock on team meetings and how it doesn't always help... Perhaps why MS Dhoni didn't believe much in them and at max had a minute or so before games!
Also, notice the quality of commentary here compared to what Indians are fed with! 🙏@abcsport

My dear Wolfgang, I hereby formally invite you to come and visit SA. You can bring your wife or boyfriend with you.
If you land in Cape Town, take a short left into Nyanga, Delft or Khayelitsha. Lovely people. If anyone approaches you with a gun and kindly ask for your car, wallet and cellphone, remember to use your superior negotiation - they just love being challenged.
If you land in Joburg, take a short left through Joburg CBD and Hillbrow. Lovely places. Remember to stop at every traffic light and intersection, open your car window and enjoy the lovely fresh Joburg air. If friendly black men approach you with guns, remember to use your superior negotiation. They may decide not to shoot you on the spot, but only highjack you and your boyfriend, rape and leave you in a nice field somewhere.
If you should travel to Durban, remember to get out of your car and close the B&B gate behind you. When the friendly black men pull up in front of you with guns and start shooting, remember those superior negotiation skills 😉
Good luck tinkerbell, let us know how it went.
If you are wondering if South Africa is still an apartheid regime, today you got your answer.
Three innocent black men were gunned down, and all of X is defending the shooter.
This is what happens when you let people have guns and don't take racism seriously. A lynching defended by people on X. Disgusting.
Have a wonderful day,
Wolfgang

President Ramaphosa says Afrikaner persecution is a false narrative. I worked on the president’s farm when he was Vice President of South Africa.
I did my work honestly and correctly. I was mocked, threatened and had apartheid thrown in my face because I am a white man. People worked to get rid of me, and in the end they succeeded. The workers gave him an ultimatum and my contract was ended.
Before that, a fellow staff member warned me to get away from the farm, because they were going to stab me. I was threatened on the president’s own farm. It is all in my sworn affidavit, filed with USCIS.
President Trump looked at the facts and found that Afrikaners are persecuted. Yet USCIS found there is no pattern of persecution of Afrikaners, and on that basis says my family does not qualify. How can anyone call persecution a false narrative when it happened on the president’s farm?
We came to America legally. We are the Afrikaners already here. boersocial.com/x

A Wits/UJ professor claims the mere presence of white people causes workplace trauma to black South Africans.
Vasintha Pather argues that “whiteness” — including things like punctuality and accurate calculation creates anxiety for black and Indian colleagues.
This is what is being published and taught as academic work in South Africa:

This is incredibly EMBARRASSING … for Thomas Dayspring @Drlipid
Setting aside his repeated mischaracterizations of lean mass hyper-responders, his consistent refusal to engage substantively with the topic, and his assertions that lack supporting evidence (such as the claim that ketosis reduces LDL receptor expression) he seems completely unaware of a fundamental fact:
(1) We, the authors, requested the retraction ourselves, AND this was
(2) Due to many issue with the Cleerly AI analysis and their refusal to perform a fully blinded Quality Control check on their dataset after many issues came to light (post April 7). To be ‘Cleer,’ the reason for our request to retract was clarified to JACC Advances (and Retraction Watch), and there has been NO OBJECTION to that being the SOLE cited reason we provided for retraction.
I would be more than happy to have a conversation with @Drlipid and walk him through the facts.
But this kind of flag-waving rhetoric, delivered with a obvious and persistent ignorance of the critical circumstances surrounding the retraction, only serves to illustrate how poorly informed even prominent voices in cardiology and lipidology can be about developments in this field.
TL;DR: If you want evidence of the profound dogmatism that’s corroding public trust in “the experts” this is an excellent example.

Temba Bavuma's 179 deserves to be ranked among the greatest Test match innings by any captain anywhere. Dragged out of the pits of despair at 110-6, South Africa then bowled the Aussies out twice in 149 overs to win by an innings. Stupendous.
🚨 MATCH RESULT 🚨
What a phenomenal game, what an incredible display from #TheProteas! An absolutely heart-stopping performance! 🤩
Bavuma led the way with the bat, and our bowlers ran riot with the ball! 💪🔥
#TheProteas level the series 1-1 with a comprehensive victory by an innings and 31 runs! 🇿🇦
#Unbreakable #SAvAUS
