Why Old CIA Documents Still Matter In The Age Of AI And Brain Scans
MK Ultra was not the only project. Earlier work under names like MK Delta focused on chemicals and drugs for secret operations. When MK Ultra took over, it kept using a lot of the same chemicals and ideas. The work did not stop.... - ballz2dwallz...

It’s hard to not be biased. I got the first vaccines because at the time COVID seemed serious and uncertain. I got COVID once and it wasn’t much worse than the common cold, so now I discount it as not a big deal and I don’t need to get any more vaccines.... - dave...
I want to chip in on the "why I think EMFs aren’t (relatively) harmful" side, so that it gets some representation. From what I remember, the amount of energy in EMF radiation drops off with a distance-squared relationship - 10 times as far away is 100 times less strong - so it... Well said about the indifference and inaction. I feel that, and even focusing our attention on it now is a tiny attempt of mine to move out of that freeze.... Your list also reminds me of Roger Walsh's "therapeutic lifestyle changes" (TLCs) things that have been proven to increase health but are often under"prescribed"; I'd love to see him add comedy and sex specifically, instead of just grouping it under "recreation" :) for those...

We didn’t know what was happening, lots of people were dying, good statistics were hard to come by (good interpretations even harder), and the... Responsibility & Pests
I have very little sense of what I'm meant to do on UpTrust so I'm just going to do something imperfect and refine from here... My dog presently has fleas. Historically when this has happened I give him a bath, apply a topical, and don't have to think about it again.... NEW🚨: Buried in the hundreds of pages Tulsi Gabbard declassified on her way out as Director of National Intelligence is the CIA's own readout of a briefing it gave Anthony Fauci on June 4, 2021.... ICYMI🚨: Yesterday, Senate Chairman Rand Paul subpoenaed Anthony Fauci to testify publicly in July after Fauci backed out of a prior voluntary agreement to appear.... I start tugging on one string and it pulls on much greater themes, but some basic strategic things might be: access to education…whatever kind of education someone wants ability to make mistakes and not have it ruin your life– more safety nets resolution to the opiod crises &... - gayle...
The price of my favorite ice cream has nearly doubled. I like the idea of inclusiveness but don't see how making it harder for people to get medicaid is going to do that. And it is already too hard for people to qualify if you ask me....
