Re Novak's diet choices: intolerance to gluten, (as wheat cultivation is thought to have brought about civilization--'growing' enough calories to support diversity of occupations) or intolerance to the glyphosate involved in the agriculture? This gluten-intolerance matter seems to be of fairly recent appearance.

A cursory check just now shows glyphosate introduced in 1974. So say, many to most babies born since then exposed to the chemical after-effects. Can we connect dots or is my tin-foil hat once again askew?

Agreed. I often wonder if modern-day food allergies/intolerances are bodily reactions to pesticides and herbicides since our American soil has in effect been poisoned by glyphosate and other residual chemicals.

Absolutely

If it were the glyphosate, then people would have widespread bad reactions to the other crops that are sprayed with it, whereas it seems to be only wheat that causes so many complaints.

This is a complicated diagnosis. Wheat has undergone many genetic breedings in the last 50 years, as have other food sources. And then there are fertilizers to improve yields. The thing with glyphosate is that it is designed to kill plants, not animals. Plant physiology is very different than animals, so it “should” not affect animals. The number of confounding factors in testing to truly determine a cause make this nearly impossible to resolve from a deductive test and analysis. So inductive reasoning must be used, but it is still reasoning, not speculation.

The reason I love Novak Djokovic’s story is that, if everyone would just do what he did (refuse to ALLOW our rights to be violated), we could have stopped the insanity. He demonstrates that we DO INDEED have the power to do this. They only do to us, what we ALLOW them to do to us.

The mindset of warriors. You know this is fascinating and members of my family have cut gluten from their diets and found other sensitivities. But there is an anthropological and genetic theory that hunter gatherers were defeated by an influx of farmer warrior types. Lots of evidence apparently that farming, cereal grains and loss of our most biologically beneficial diet and lifestyle led to deep systemic weaknesses. Plague also was able to flourish once we put down roots and attracted rodents. I will be glad to write an updated post on this if anyone is interested.

KW,

I, for one, would enjoy reading a post about this.

Thanks for your interest and comment! I will dig up the post where I wrote more about this and will try to write more on this in the future. It is a timely and interesting subject.

And here it is - the most recent essay where I touched on these subjects:

Excellent essay. Reading this I see what a pathetic mismatch it was the Lilipuchian governments vs Novak Djokovic thinking they were going to get him to grovel and take their kill shot and their shock when he wouldn't kneel to them!

You mention rising and sinking empires. I started putting together all the ways that China is seeking world dominance while we are fighting about the distractions purposely put in front of us, trannyism, CRT, climate change, etc. We of course need to remove the filth and nonsense. But we better start focusing on the big picture or we are screwed!

I watched Devotion with my son and beg to differ. It's a great story but the character development, specifically for Hudner, is sparse. There are other great patriotic movies, but this one felt forced. It's a shame that a great story like this fell in the hands of a less talented director.

Now, if Mel Gibson were to make a movie of 'Gates of Fire,' I would run through walls and walk through fire to see it.

Thank you for highlighting the words and deeds of Novak Djokovic. He is truly a great athlete and a great man. His reputation took a hit these last three years. But history will exonerate him as the truth about the covid vaccine becomes more widely known. In the end, Novak will be held in much higher regard than Federer and Nadal and all those who failed to challenge the narrative.

Great review, very satisfying to witness Novak triumph and share some of the secrets of his excellence with the world. Regarding white pill books I've got one to share. My brother-in-arms Rob Green wrote the definitive account of our triumph over the military vaccine mandate, I wrote a short review, it'll be released in a couple weeks https://radicalamerican.substack.com/p/defending-the-constitution-behind

I recommend Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. This story of indomitable human endurance and strength of spirit reminds me of Novak, plus the importance of forgiveness (supernaturally enabled). If someone could enlighten me as to Novak’s attitude toward those who mocked, spurned, and rejected him, that would be great -I’m curious.
