Re: Harvard Professor Charles Lieber, from Wikipedia:
"In December 2021, Lieber was convicted of six felonies, including two counts of making false statements to the FBI and investigators from the Department of Defense and National Institutes of Health regarding his participation in the Chinese government's Thousand Talents Program,as well as four counts of filing false tax returns. The US government began its investigation of Lieber as part of the China Initiative, a program established by the Department of Justice in 2018 to investigate academic espionage at American universities."
"Following a week-long trial, on December 21, 2021, Lieber was found guilty on all charges: two counts of making false statements to the U.S. government, two counts of filing a false income tax return, and two counts of failing to report foreign bank accounts. He was fined and sentenced to two days in prison, followed by two years of supervised release with six months of house arrest on April 26, 2023."
Someone who doesn't have any income or political clout would have gone to jail for a year or more. We do have a two-tier justice system, sometimes called "the best legal justice money can buy."
"lithium (roughly 1-10 mg elemental lithium/day) has emerged as one of the more intriguing areas of healthy aging research. Several observational studies have found that populations with naturally higher lithium levels in drinking water tend to have lower rates of dementia and suicide, although these studies cannot prove cause and effect. Laboratory research suggests lithium inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β), promotes autophagy, increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), reduces neuroinflammation, and may help limit amyloid and tau pathology.
Interest accelerated after a 2025 study showed that lithium levels are selectively depleted in brains affected by early Alzheimer's disease, and that restoring low-dose lithium reversed memory deficits and Alzheimer's-like pathology in mice.
Human evidence is encouraging but not yet definitive. Small clinical trials in people with mild cognitive impairment have suggested slower cognitive decline with long-term low-dose lithium, but a larger 2026 pilot trial found only modest trends rather than statistically significant benefit, while confirming that low-dose lithium was generally well tolerated and warrants larger studies.
In short, the biological rationale is strong, the preclinical evidence is impressive, and the early human data are promising—but it is still too early to conclude that microdose lithium prevents dementia. Larger randomized clinical trials are now underway to answer that question."

The first time that I heard of lithium orotate being taken prophylactically was from Michael Nehls, MD, PhD, in an interview. He himself takes it on a regular basis. He also discusses it in his book, "The Indoctrinated Brain". I no longer remember who was interviewing him, but am thinking it may have been either Joe Rogan or Jan Jekielek. It was at least a year ago.
Dr. Nehls also appeared on The Highwire, with Del Bigtree, earlier this year (air date: 2/26/2026). He discusses the use of lithium orotate in this interview too. I do not have a link but the interview would be easy to find by going to The Highwire site.

The moronic Aussie PM reminded me of the satyr-like Willie Jeff Clinton guffawing and answering the idiotic "boxers or briefs" question> Can you imagine if our gentlemanly President Reagan had been asked such an idiotic query and his icy refusal to engage. What fools we now have as pols that engage is such stupidity.
I’ve lost track of all the categories you two cover—let’s see, there’s medical therapeutics, psops by govt, industry, and media, homesteading, food safety, Friday/Sunday funnies, and now weird news! What a cornucopia! Have you two discovered a healthy way to forgo sleep?
I thoroughly enjoy, Dr., the writing style in these essays, humorous and insightful. "It is not generally considered a useful exercise in international diplomacy." I love it.
It’s why everyone should realize anything coming out of Davos is a calculated endeavor for them to have more power over us “peasants”. If I had to guess a reasonable person has to believe Bill Gates is behind it somewhere. Considering he’s the global leader in trying to get the world vaccinated with any vaccine that can be dreamt for. He’s heavily invested in plenty of big Pharma and small bio- Pharma companies. The guy is pure evil. Worse than Soros if you can believe that. Stock yourself with ivermectin and other medications that are proven against most of the diseases and viruses that can make you sick is my plan of attack should the next pandemic come. I’m also going to be on my land growing and raising my own food so I can stay away from the
population when the next one hits. I think that’s the best plan going forward.
Several years ago the forestry station up the road from us, in Florida, had a badly degraded Smokey Bear figure up front. I emailed the state forestry officials and requested that they “freshen up” poor Smokey. Within a week he was removed. 5 years later he is still MIA. Appears Florida’s forestry folks would rather remove Smokey themselves rather than have some semi-entrepreneurial citizen remove him.
Sick to death of the WHO and their wet blanket fear-mongering…setting us up for the next disease they want us to dash to the doctor and be vaxed against. Fine! There will always be a “Disease X” looming in our future as long as people like that troll, Fauci, and organizations like the WHO, continue to muck with increasing the deadliness of current “bugs” you have in your labs. Stop trying to create the “ultimate bioweapon” and the rest of the world will be just fine! It truly is “that simple.” (And anyone trying to create such killers should be given life in prison!)
During my senior year of nursing school in 1976, I spent a day in a "mental hospital" as part of my psychiatric nursing rotation. I remember that many of the patients were on lithium and how numbed and detached they were.
Nancy, a day? Oops! We spent 8 weeks in 1968! At Tuscaloosa Bryce (sp) psychiatric hospital! I forget for sure how long we did TB nursing in the same town! 4 weeks TB.
I didn't even know that Smokey the Bear signs still existed! The whole premise of stopping forest fires ended up causing some of the worst fires in history as the undergrowth grew, dried plant matter collected, and nature's way of cleaning the forests with small, contained fires was destroyed.
Still, the guy who stole the signs and then tried to sell them has got to be among the most addle-brained would-be entreprenaurs ever.
Mind ya, it’s been a few years since I’ve been out to the trailhead(s) - legs {sigh}, but when my replacement parts come in and they get installed, I’ll reconfirm my memories. In the meantime, SmokyBear PSAs are on the radio
NIAID's Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe attempted to smuggle in pox viruses recently. Face a maximum federal imprisonment of 5 years.
Guy steals Smokey the Bear signs to sell on Facebook. Faces 10. Weird.

I saw that, too. I would have expected that either they be exonerated or face a heavy sentence. 5 years makes no sense at all.
I do think most people should supplement with Lithium Orotate.
We microdose it.
Same
Are we being serious here? What is the benefit or is this a joke?
For those interested
We take 5 mg - "Lithium Orotate 5 mg - Brain Support Supplement - with N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) for Memory & Brain Behavior"

Isn't it sad that a head of state is made, promoted, agrees to look a buffoon? I suppose if elder abuse as US president why not buffoonery, eh?
Why not devolve leadership into comedy I guess? Such a lame goal of controllers in my mind.

They need a cure for mental derangement and not a drug that dulls an already dysfunctional brain.

1:50 in is where it starts rolling....
What a fine exercise to clear our minds as we wend our way toward November.
Stealing Smoky Bear signs to resell. One wonders whether the perp is actually that limited, or his education failed him.
Prime Minister fail. Is it a culture that can't say "NO"? All told, bad show. Conners will be drawing up plans.
Diseases. Industries need income. Gates wants action. Media stirs the pot.The time is fast coming right. They're not to be denied.
Thanks for the priming. We'll keep this in mind!
Have a good one.
In re soft drinks we have the inimitable coke. One wonders how many other soft drinks had similar beginnings.
Cocaine in Coke - coca leaves.
