Fraud, Fake Treatments & Fatalities: The Dark Side of Chiropractic Care

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate recently reintroduced legislation to increase access to Medicare-covered services provided by chiropractors. Last year, the US chiropractic market size was worth $13.13 Billion. By the end of the decade, it will be worth over $18 billion. Each year, a whopping 35 million Americans seek chiropractic care. But why? It’s a questionable science full of questionable characters. . .

Chiropractic care was the original holistic medicine. As Dr. Steven Novella has noted, what used to be fraud is now known as holistic medicine (more on fraud in a minute). Dr. Edzard Ernst, a retired British-German physician and researcher, has expertly demonstrated the many ways in which chiropractic treatments are rooted not in science, but in mystical concepts.

Chiropractic medicine was founded by Daniel David Palmer, a known fraudster who performed the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895. Born in Ontario, Canada, Palmer moved to Iowa at the age of 20. Upon arrival, he started practicing magnetic healing, a pseudoscientific practice that involves placing magnets on various body parts for the purpose of pain relief. A devoted spiritualist, Palmer insisted that the core tenets of chiropractic treatment were “passed along” to him by the spirit of Jim Atkinson, a doctor who died 50 years earlier. In other words, Palmer “learned” about spinal adjustments from a paranormal entity. . .

Dr. Ernst told me we should be skeptical of what chiropractors are offering, largely because the whole practice was founded “by a deluded charlatan, who insisted that all human diseases are due to subluxations of the spine” . . .

Dr. William T. Jarvis famously referred to chiropractic as “the most significant nonscientific health-care delivery system in the United States.” Comparing the chiropractic community to a cult, Dr. Jarvis wondered, somewhat incredulously, why chiropractors are licensed to practice in all 50 US states. The entire profession, he warned, “should be viewed as a societal problem, not simply as a competitor of regular health-care.” (Read more from “Fraud, Fake Treatments & Fatalities: The Dark Side of Chiropractic Care” HERE)

Joe Biden’s Deviant ‘Pride’ Exposed as White House Turned Into Strip Joint for Transgender TikTok Influencers

/0 Comments/in , /by

So much for restoring “decency” and normalcy to the White House.

That was the president’s campaign promise.

But nobody should be surprised that the father of Hunter Biden would sully the White House by turning it into a strip joint for transgender TikTok influencers.

Images of Rose Montoya, a biological man with a penis and breast implants, shaking hands with the president on the South Lawn, right before flashing those fake boobs, sent a message to the world that this is not a serious administration.

Montoya’s TikTok video in front of the White House alongside bearded biological females showing off their mastectomy scars as the president waxed lyrical about “transgender children” embarrasses America.

America’s Time of Choosing: God or Evil

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden is evil. Putting the pride flag on the White House at all — never mind the fact of breaking flag code by displaying it as the focal point, at the center of two U.S. banners — is not just a show of disrespect to the unbelievably honorable men and women who died for this nation so that we may live free. But it’s an announcement to the world — to God — that America has gone its own way; that America has abandoned its moral compass and biblical roots; that America has finally broken free of the exceptionalism that has made the country a beacon of liberty and greatness to all around the globe — that is to say, of individual liberties that come from God.

Placing the pride flag at the center of the White House display is an evil that says children are to be exploited; sexual promiscuity and animalistic behaviors are to be revered; and all normal concepts of morality and virtue have been utterly shattered. Might as well hang a sign on the White House that says, “Abandon God, all ye who enter here.”

That’s what this flag-hanging represents: pure evil. . .

It’s time for every man and woman in America to choose — God or not God; God or the evil one.

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that states had to issue licenses for same-sex couples who wanted to marry, God, no doubt, turned his back on America. He won’t be mocked, after all. And if you paid attention to the politics and culture in the years since that horrendous 2015 ruling, that’s about the season when the rapid spread of LGBTQ rot occurred; those are the years when LGBTQ claws dug deep into our children’s public schools; when drag queens came triumphantly from their dark corners into the light of public libraries; when rainbow flags flown not for God — who gave humanity the rainbow, after all, as a promise of protection from future floods — that’s when these rainbow symbols started flying everywhere, from apartment buildings to city streets to government properties.

To Beat the Dodgers’ Anti-Christian Hate, MLB Stars Must Refuse to Play Ball

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ appalling decision to honor an anti-Christian hate group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during their “Pride Night” on June 16 has been met mostly with a deafening silence from the vast majority of Major League Baseball players. Even Catholics, whose faith is particularly singled out for mockery by this LGBT hate group, have been largely mute.

As of this writing, only four players in the entire league have said anything about it, and one of those four has already caved to the rainbow mob. The only Catholic player to come forward has been Trevor Williams, a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Williams denounced the Dodgers and called on his fellow Catholics “to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur.”

The only Dodgers player to come forward so far has been relief pitcher Blake Treinen, who also released a clear statement Tuesday criticizing the Dodgers organization for honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, rightly saying the group “promotes hate of Christians and people of faith.” . . .

As welcome as the statements by Williams and Treinen were, they weren’t enough. Faced with what amounts to open hostility to the Christian faith, MLB players need to do more than issue statements. As Mollie Hemingway suggested the other day on Twitter, players who support religious tolerance should refuse to take the field on June 16 in protest. If the Dodgers want to insult Christians by honoring a group that blasphemes their faith, then players should simply decline to participate that day. It would send a clear message that the MLB pursues aggressive LGBT activism at its peril. (Read more from “To Beat the Dodgers’ Anti-Christian Hate, MLB Stars Must Refuse to Play Ball” HERE)

Depressed? Ditch Your Phone, Go Outside, Fix Your Diet, Practice Prayer and Kindness

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans seem more miserable than ever, but they don’t have to be.

A new Gallup poll out Wednesday shows rates of depression have reached record highs, with nearly 1 in 3 U.S. adults reporting a depression diagnosis at least once in their lifetimes. Nearly 18 percent reported treatment. . .

A groundbreaking study published in Molecular Psychiatry journal last summer exposed antidepressants as having scarcely more effect than placebos. The findings led some psychologists to reject the long-held belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance.

Instead, it’s possible the problem lies in our circumstances, and in our approach to those circumstances. One study from researchers in Saudi Arabia published last year found antidepressants don’t even raise the quality of life over time. . .

Gallup’s findings that depression is on the rise happen to coincide with a dramatic climb in internet use. About 1 in 3 U.S. adults report a “constant” presence online, according to the Pew Research Center. What does that even look like? If 30 percent of Americans spend all of their time watching other people live their lives on screen, it’s not very surprising that nearly 30 percent report lifetime depression. Just one hour of daily screen time is correlated with lower psychological well-being in minors aged 2-17. (Read more from “Depressed?

RFK Jr.’s Unorthodox Presidential Bid Exposes America’s Deep Dissatisfaction With Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Robert Kennedy Jr., the unconventional Democrat siphoning double-digit Democratic support away from President Biden ahead of the 2024 election, won’t rule out building a wall along the southern border if it means stopping the flow of illegal immigrants that have poured into the U.S. on Mr. Biden’s watch.

And unlike Mr. Biden and much of the Democratic Party, Mr. Kennedy doesn’t believe in the government forcing an end to fossil fuels or banning guns to stop the epidemic of mass shootings.

The 69-year-old environmental lawyer and anti-vaccination advocate defines himself as a “traditional Kennedy Democrat,” but his policies resonate with a much broader array of voters, including Republicans, and in particular, the expanding swath of people who identify as independents.

Among Democratic voters, Mr. Kennedy siphoned away 19% of the vote from Mr. Biden in a recent Fox News poll.

“I think there are a lot of Americans who believe the Republican and Democratic Parties no longer represent their aspirations and visions and interests,” Mr. Kennedy said in an interview with The Washington Times.

Don’t Believe the Activists’ Hype: There Is No ‘Trans Genocide’

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’re often told that a genocide is occurring in America — namely, a “trans genocide.”

Apparently, people whose gender identities do not correspond with their biological sex are being intentionally killed in large numbers.

Even President Joe Biden’s White House seems to think so. . .

Across the US, there were a total of 266 hate crimes against transgender people. . .

As Dennis Kneale notes in the Washington Examiner, “this works out to a murder rate for trans people of just 2.66 people per 100,000 transgender people. The murder rate in the general population is almost three times as high — 6.52 people per 100,000.” (Read more from “Don’t Believe the Activists’ Hype: There Is No ‘Trans Genocide'” HERE)

It’s Time to Burn the Ships of Traditional Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

In 1519, the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived in the New World with a mission to conquer the Aztec Empire. He arrived with a small army of 600 men, but he faced a significant challenge. His men were afraid and they were not sure that they could succeed in their mission. To inspire his men Cortés did something radical – he burned his ships. By doing so he eliminated any possibility of retreat and forced his men to fight for victory or death. This act of burning the ships became a symbol of determination and commitment.

Fast forward to today and we face a similar challenge. We are in a battle for the truth and we are facing a media landscape dominated by a small group of powerful corporations. Traditional media is owned by an oligopoly regime that runs the United States. They control what we see, what we hear, and even what we think. They have their own agenda and it is not at all in our best interest.

This week the news broke that Tucker Carlson, one of the most prominent voices on Fox News, is leaving the network. Regardless of the reasons, his departure from Fox News is significant, and it could be seen as a death knell for traditional media. Traditional media, including cable news networks like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, has long been the dominant source of news and information for many Americans. These networks have enormous influence, and they shape the way people think about current events and politics.

Over the past decade there has been a dramatic shift away from traditional media and toward alternative sources of information.

One of the reasons for this shift is the rise of the internet and social media. These platforms have given people access to a vast array of information and have allowed them to connect with others who share their interests and beliefs. This has created a new media landscape, one that is more decentralized and less reliant on traditional media outlets. Those in power quickly realized this after the 2016 election which is why they have invested billions of dollars and countless human resource hours into developing censorship and “fact checking” systems on these platforms. That’s why we created Gab.com in 2016. We saw this happening and we knew we had to protect free speech online for all people at all costs. We paid the price heavily for it precisely because Gab is the one place that the people in power do not control.

Another reason for the shift away from traditional media is a growing sense of distrust. Many Americans feel that the mainstream media is biased and that they cannot be trusted to provide unbiased information. This distrust has only grown in recent years, as traditional media outlets have become increasingly politicized and polarized.

The departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News is significant because he was one of the network’s most popular and influential hosts. He had a large following, and his show was consistently one of the highest-rated programs on cable news. His departure is a sign that even the most established and influential media outlets are not immune to the changing media landscape.

While traditional media is not dead yet, the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News is a clear signal that it is on the decline. The rise of alternative media sources and the growing sense of distrust in traditional media outlets have created a new media landscape that is more diverse and decentralized. This new media landscape is not without its challenges, as Gab knows all too well—but it offers opportunities for new voices and perspectives to be heard.

Burning the ships of traditional media means that we must abandon the old ways of consuming news and information. We must stop watching the same news channels, reading the same newspapers, and listening to the same radio stations. We must break away from the status quo and embrace a new way of thinking.

We must also turn off traditional media for good. We must stop supporting the oligopoly regime that controls our media landscape. We must stop giving them our attention, our money, and our trust. We must turn to new media platforms like Gab and others as well as independent journalism, and we must support them with our time, our money, and our trust.

Turning off traditional media for good does not mean that we should ignore the news altogether. It means that we should seek out alternative sources of information and take an active role in seeking the truth. We should read independent blogs, watch independent news channels, use independent platforms, and listen to independent podcasts. We should engage in discussions, share our views, and challenge our own biases.

Burning the ships of traditional media and turning it off for good is not an easy task. It requires courage, determination, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. However, it is necessary if we want to create a media landscape that serves the interests of the people, not the oligopoly regime. We must embrace new media and independent journalism, and most importantly we must take an active role in seeking the truth.

By doing so, we can create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come. (For more from the author of “It’s Time to Burn the Ships of Traditional Media” please click HERE)

‘National Divorce’ Already Happening Across U.S.?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Is the recommendation by U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for a “national divorce” already happening? . . .

“We need a national divorce,” Greene, the Georgia Republican posted on social media a few weeks ago. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrats’ traitorous America Last policies, we are done.” . . .

“A new analysis of Census Bureau data shows that since the 2020 election year, nearly 2.6 million have moved out of counties won by President Joe Biden and into those won by former President Donald Trump,” [Paul Bedard] explained.

The analysis, from Issues and Insights, notes, “More than 61% of the counties that voted for Biden in 2020 lost population, while 65% of Trump-supporting counties gained population.”

Bedard noted, “Greene … has been calling for a red-blue ‘divorce’ that would cool the nation’s political anger by keeping like-minded people together. She has not advocated any ‘civil war’ and has gone out of her way to explain the continued need for a national government and military.” (Read more from “‘National Divorce’ Already Happening Across U.S.?” HERE)

If China’s Yuan Usurps The Dollar, The World Economy Will Be At Communists’ Whims

/0 Comments/in , /by

In July 1944, 44 delegates from Allied countries came together during World War II in Bretton Wood, New Hampshire. The goal? Devise an international currency system to manage foreign exchange that would disadvantage no country and effectively facilitate post-war rebuilding and commerce. The outcome: The U.S. greenback would be the world’s reserve currency.

It has been almost 80 years since, and all nations have been better off with a United States dollar-dominated world. World gross domestic product (GDP) in 1940 was $7.81 trillion. For 2023, the world GDP is expected to be $112.6 trillion. That is an increase of 1,441 percent. Billions of people have been lifted out of poverty because of this.

China is working overtime to disrupt the dollar-dominated world economy. The significance of the dollar losing its premier position cannot be overstated. The Biden administration should not overlook this.

Most Americans may be unaware of crucial transactions occurring around the globe recently. And who could blame them? All the corporate media’s main headlines have been over the now-public indictment of former President Donald Trump, over factually weak allegations involving hush-money payments to a porn star.

The indictment of a former president is a crossing-of-the-Rubicon moment in American history. But displacing the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, as China and Russia have both made known is their objective, has analogous ramifications for the world. But while the world watches Trump’s indictment, they are missing China’s transactions with some of our major allies and trading partners in the yuan. Notably, China is doing this with nations that need better stewards. (Read more from “If China’s Yuan Usurps the Dollar, the World Economy Will Be at Communists’ Whims” HERE)
