What does God know about genetics anyway? Seems those old rules had a reason.

Animal studies can tell us a lot. What it tells us about cell tower radiation is stunning!

Where's the beef? More is less.

FDA hides glyphosate residue studies.

Censorship through Terms and Conditions.

The end is near... for passwords.

Times are tough... for Congress.

How much more can we borrow from the future?

Mobile homes are for the rich.

Got Iron? - USA Prepares January 2nd

1/2/2018

 
Our modern American diet contains levels of iron and sugar never before known in human history.

Most (80%) of Americans suffer from insulin resistance and many don't know it.

Millions of Americans suffer from too much iron.

Even if you're thin you can still have insulin resistance.

You can be anemic and still have too much iron.

Sometimes this first symptom (from either condition) is death.

The only way to be certain if you're affected is through lab tests.

Fortunately in most states these tests can be done without having to visit a doctor.

An A1C level of 6.5% or greater is considered Type 2 Diabetes.

A Ferritin level over 200 for women and 300 for men is considered Hemochromatosis.

Medical care is desirable for these conditions.

Note - if your iron level is less than 20, then you have too little iron and should seek medical advice for that.

As of 1/1/2018 the Serum Ferritin and Hemoglobin A1C tests are $28 each through Walk-In Lab (FTC notice - I receive a small commission if you order through this link):
Check out this month's offers at Walk-In Lab! Offers end at the end of the month at 11:59pm PDT.
Symptoms of Hemochromatosis:
Pain
Fatigue
Hidden Symptom - Damages Mitochondria
Organ Damage- especially the liver, pancreas, endocrine glands, cardiovascular system, and skin
Liver Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer
Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
Bronze Diabetes
Hypogonadism, Low Libido
Arthritis
Restlessness, Difficulty Concentrating or Focusing
Increased Sensitivity to Heat or Cold
Sweating, Shallow Breathing, or Shortness of Breath
Frequent Colds or Infections
Inability to Relax Muscles, Back Pain
Headache, Dizziness
Skin conditions- including rash and itching
Digestive Disturbances/Weight Loss
Depression
Inability to Relax (In General)
Desire for Solitude
Irritability and Anger
Changeable Moods

The discussion today is about the Hurricane / Flood disaster and the upcoming ramifications.

I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Coach Dave Daubenmire. Coach Dave is scheduling trips to Texas to help out.

Click here if you'd like to volunteer.

Click here if you'd like to donate.

Volunteers will receive fuel and food for their time - the bulk of the money will go to help those affected by the storm.

​If you're caught in such a disaster - water filters can give you drinkable water, but with food, there's an alternate source you may be ignoring.

February 2012 was the first time I talked about The Financial State of the Union on USA Prepares. Initially I was expecting the war path after the coming collapse. That will happen, but we're at least seven and a half years from THAT war.

The Greater Depression is coming. While it can start in any month, the usual timing is in September or October. Many signs are telling us the time is short before the situation will be obvious to all (remember that 2008 was "great" until the crisis hit).

Fasten you seat belt. We're going to hit all we can during this episode.

I say we can't have THAT war yet - this comes from The Bible:
Daniel 12:11-12
Daniel 9:27

I've been saying that THAT war would have a 99.5% fatality rate.

​Putin says no one would survive.​

Jesus said that unless those days were shortened, no flesh would survive.

That war will happen. But first the excesses of the past few decades will finally catch up with us.

What others are saying about the coming collapse:

Jim Rogers - The worst crash in our lifetime is coming.
Who is Jim Rogers?

Eric Peters is looking at a Valentine's Day massacre.

More quotes.

And history says...

Yellen says everything is great.

Should rank with these.

And these Great Depression quotes.

Debt and liabilities:

2017 Budget deficit.

The latest trustee reports are out.

2017 Single Year Tables.

Global debt at new high.

It won't take much for the pension problem to get worse.

​Will pensions be the trigger or a casualty?


Signs:

Recession "weeks" away based on C&I loan data.

Restaurant sales continue downward - Begs the questions of all the "hiring" in that sector.

The yield curve is giving its warning.

Central Banks are either stopping QE or planning or QT - In car terms, QE is putting you foot on the gas. Quantitative tightening is hitting the brake.

​The economy is so great that Houston is selling streets.

The velocity of money continues downward trend.

​Stock selling pressure to increase.

What employment numbers say...

​Other:

Then there's the asset declines...

​No, we can't grow out of the problems.

What if humans made their own vitamin C?
​
If this doesn't get you mad - I don't know what will.

Sorry for the delay in providing news items. A lot going on behind the scenes.

Financial:

​People need to eat, but sales and traffic are down at restaurants. Does this mean that millennials are have to learn to cook to save money?

​Real estate is starting give signs too. If you're thinking about selling, now may be that time (I'd wait to buy until prices come down.)


Expanding credit is necessary to keep the fake economy growing. Another sign that the next recession is on the way.

Those under 40 probably don't remember the tech bubble burst from 2000. Looks like they're going to experience one soon.

Credit cards say we're having more problems paying for debt.

Tax receipts are another sign. How many more signs do you need to believe trouble is ahead?

Pension funds have investments in "safe" commercial real estate. More closures on the way than the last crash. Can you guess what's coming next? (Hint: more pension problems)

This is how you make money with pension funds.

More bad news for OPEC.

The Illinois train wreck keeps rolling down the track. (Remember Back to the Future III?)

93% of jobs created since 2008 were fudge factor jobs.

Spy Tech:

Enjoy being able to outsmart the market while you can.

I told you they were using these yellow dots 15 years ago. Printers (especially color ones) are not anonymous.

Enjoy your memories while you still have them.

(Video - commercial) Your spy tech is friendly and just trying to help you. At least until the controls are mandated.

But you said...

Fukushima:

Radiation This Week - From June 3rd

2007 Radiation Report - Also June 3rd

Health:

Low fat dairy advice is great --- if you want Parkinson's

Trans fat is great for population reduction.

Bigger Picture:

Remember how you thought I was pessimistic about nuclear war/EMP having a 99.5% fatality rate? Putin is saying no one. Guess I'm an optimist after all.

Dallas joins Chicago with civic minded dead people.

Looks like more interesting times ahead. (Less sun = less food. More people + less food = famine and fighting)
