Why aren’t Doctors Prescribing Turmeric If It Is So Therapeutic?
A long time ago, i was introduced to turmeric through Indian food. Then i started making spiced foods myself and discovered that turmeric contributed most of the color to a curry but scant flavor.

That phase is well over and the silence is overwhelming now. We have been able to partially track some of this fight, but only have the advantage of knowing it is really underway and we mostly see the results of suc... more »

The U.S. Navy's Little Disaster Ship Is a Real-World Nightmare
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] What a mess. *In place of the 20 canceled LCSs, the Navy plans to buy 20 new missile frigates. The service in 2019 asked Congress for around $1 billion for the first ship in the new class.* But after spending $30 billion over a period of around two decades, the U.S. Navy has managed to acquire just 35 of the 3,000-ton-displacement vessels. Sixteen were in service as of late 2018. Of those 16, four are test ships. Six are training ships. In 2019 just six LCSs, in theory, are deployable. *(This first appeared earlier in 2019.)* ... more »

Calling Bona Fide Insiders, QHHT and Remote Viewing Practitioners
I have questions, a lot of questions, about a lot of things. Unfortunately I have noticed that the daily news cycle, including in the so-called "alternative" media, ignores a lot of the questions that I have. Instead there is a tedious and unenlightening obsession with the trivial and quite a lot of self-important blabbering that could rightfully be slotted into a catch-all "controlled opposition misinformation" category. I am, therefore, setting out below just a handful of questions that I have, that have not been satisfactorily addressed in the global commons of ideas and informat... more »

"The smallest decisions made had such profound repercussions. One ten-minute wait could save a life… or end it. One wrong turn down the right street or one seemingly unimportant conversation, and everything was changed. It wasn't right that each lifetime was defined, ruined, ended, and made by such seemingly innocuous details. A major life-threatening event should come with a flashing warning sign that either said ABANDON ALL HOPE or SAFETY AHEAD. It was the cruelest joke of all that no one could see the most vicious curves until they were over the edge, falling into the abyss belo... more »
"The Realm Of Thought..."

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "All Will Come Again"
*"All Will Come Again"* "All will come again into its strength: the fields undivided, the waters undammed, the trees towering and the walls built low. And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land. And no churches where God is imprisoned and lamented like a trapped and wounded animal. The houses welcoming all who knock and a sense of boundless offering in all relations, and in you and me. No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond, no belittling of death, but only longing for what belongs to us and serving earth, lest we remain unused." - Rainer Maria Rilke
