Alright folks, this is it. The line has been drawn. Disney just announced that they will require all passengers aged 5 and older to be fully vaccinated to board their cruise ships, starting January 13th. This is in direct defiance of Florida Governor DeSantis' previously issued order that penalizes any company in Florida for requiring vaccination documents from clients. His order, which is currently stayed but under appeal, was made specifically to prevent this type of nonsense. And this is what we get when the laws meant to protect our freedom are ignored by those with the power to do so.

TERROR IN THE CAPITOL TUNNEL:

McBride viewed three hours of surveillance video captured by Capitol security camera—the extensive system captured at least 14,000 hours of footage that the Justice Department and Capitol police are desperate to keep away from public view—and described for the first time what happened inside the tunnel where a combination of D.C. and Capitol police, ostensibly, were stationed to prevent protesters from entering the building:

“[Just] after 4:00 pm, Ryan is sprayed multiple times by an officer standing on a ledge in the tunnel,” McBride wrote in a November 1 filing. “He is also separated from a woman who stood next to Ryan at different times at the Western Terrace. She was middle aged and nice. Ryan promised to keep an eye on her. The woman was wearing a red shirt and a MAGA hat. Shortly thereafter, officers begin terrorizing people in and around the tunnel. People are screaming and getting crushed. There is a pile of human beings stacked on top of each other at the tunnel entrance. People are trapped and there is nowhere to go.”

McBride focused on the conduct of one officer in particular, with badge number L359 and wearing a white shirt. The unidentified officer begins “to beat a man for no apparent reason . . . [and] beats the man so badly that the man crawls over to the woman with the MAGA hat.”

At this point, according to the security video, the officer turns his sights on the woman. “Then for reasons that no fair minded or decent human being will ever understand—[the officer wearing the] White-shirt turns his attention to the woman and begins to pulverize her,” McBride explained. “The weapon this officer appears to be using is a collapsible stick, designed to break windows in emergency situations. This stick is neither designed nor to be used against another human being.”

That is the argument of Ashley Rindsberg in Unherd.

https://unherd.com/2021/11/why-the-new-york-times-rewrites-history/

First he discusses Walter Duranty’s mendacious reporting from the USSR during the Holodomor (the man-made famine in the Ukraine).

What’s often missed when discussing Duranty, however, is the intentional nature of his malfeasance. When the Times came under pressure from the Ukrainian-American community in the early Noughties to return the “Duranty Pulitzer”, the paper’s publisher, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., went against the recommendation of a historian hired by the Times to assess the matter. The historian recommended (unsurprisingly) that the Times should return the prize. Sulzberger refused, chalking Duranty’s cover-up to nothing more than “slovenly” reporting.

But Duranty, an Oxford-educated polyglot, was anything but slovenly. The truth of the matter could be far more disturbing, and can be found in a statement Duranty had made years earlier. In June 1931, while visiting the US embassy in Berlin to renew his passport, Duranty made a remark to a State Department official so significant that the official recorded it verbatim and entered it into the State Department record: “In agreement with the New York Times and the Soviet authorities,” Duranty told the American diplomat, “[Duranty’s] official dispatches always reflect the official opinion of the Soviet government and not his own.”

Robert Conquest, in his monumental if extremely depressing “The Harvest of Sorrow“:

shows at great length that Duranty knew he was reporting falsehoods, and admitted to a British diplomat that the death toll of the famine he plastered over on the NYT pages may actually have claimed as many as ten million lives.

It has been claimed (including elsewhere by Conquest himself) that Duranty was made to toe the party line through Kompromat — that Russian espionage term refers to genuine or fabricated evidence of a person’s embarrassing s3xual proclivities. An older article in The Guardian, of all places, has more. (That once respectable newspaper has a special relationship with that story, as its own Malcolm Muggeridge, a former Communist turned fiercely anti-Communist by what he saw, was the first to report on the Holodomor in the West.)

Duranty was a correspondent in Moscow while the famine raged and he knew it was happening. He not only turned a blind eye, but vilified the few Western journalists who did report on it, branding their dispatches as anti-Soviet lies.

Born in Britain in 1884 into a well-to-do family, he studied languages at Cambridge. In the Twenties he lived in Paris, where he developed an opium habit and took part in drunken orgies with both men and women.

During his time in Paris he married and began writing reports for the New York Times. His clever and well-crafted articles won him a job as the newspaper’s Moscow correspondent. There is no evidence that Duranty particularly sympathised with communism, but he wrote glowing reports about the Soviet Union because he wanted to gain access to top officials.

He succeeded in doing that spectacularly by securing the first interview for an American newspaper with Stalin himself, who Duranty described as ‘the greatest living statesman’. He became the Soviet regime’s favourite correspondent, always presenting the Soviet Union in a positive light, and in 1932 he won the Pulitzer prize for a series of articles about the Soviet economy.

When stories about the famine began to surface in Moscow, Duranty dismissed them as ‘exaggerated or malignant propaganda’, and in one report employed the phrase ‘you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs’. However, British Foreign Office documents show that Duranty confided to a diplomat at the British Embassy in Moscow that he believed around 10 million people had perished.

Malcolm Muggeridge, then the Manchester Guardian ‘s Moscow correspondent, travelled secretly and at great risk to Ukraine. He was appalled at the scenes of mass starvation and heaps of dead bodies that he witnessed and described them in his reports. Duranty attacked Muggeridge and debunked his reports. Duranty was ‘the greatest liar of any journalist I have ever met’, retorted Muggeridge.

Historian Robert Conquest told The Observer that Duranty played an important role in covering up the famine and ‘he should be exposed again and again and again’. Conquest believes the Soviet secret police may have been blackmailing Duranty over his sexual behaviour.

But back to Unherd. Ashley Rindsberg then segues from Duranty into the “1619 Project”, a deeply mendacious venture of a different kind. Not direct “false news” reporting to cover up a crime against humanity then in progress, but an intellectually dishonest rewriting of history to pander to woke moral narcissism — a venture, I should note, that has come under fire also from the old Left, e.g.: “I helped fact-check the 1619 Project. The [NYT] ignored me.”

What unites the two canards, one a monumental cover-up, the other a blood libel? Unherd:

It is no coincidence that two largely successful attempts to alter history and edit reality have been carried out under the aegis of the New York Times. While Duranty and Hannah-Jones took centre stage, the platform essential to each was provided by America’s self-described paper of record.

As with any corporate-backed endeavour, a costly investment such as 1619 is undertaken only when there is a likely outcome of commensurately rich rewards. This is what we so often miss about major corporate news organisations such as the Times, which is far less significantly a newsroom built on a system of editorial practices than it is a reputation, a social construct, that produces trust — as well as a business mechanism that monetises that trust and processes it into power.

This model applies equally to the denial of the Ukraine Famine and the creation of the 1619 Project. The case of the former is explained by the drive to be positioned at the very centre of the swirl of power, influence and profit presented by the nascent, rapidly industrialising economic power of the Soviet Union that was quickly modernising the agrarian economy of tsarist Russia. The USSR was a massive market of 150 million people that for nearly two decades since the revolution had been restricted to US corporate interests.

With the 1619 Project, the New York Times’s business interests are just as decisive a factor. The Times’s management is well aware that it has to replace its audience of ageing liberals with young adherents of progressive ideologies impassioned enough to pay for the digital subscriptions that are at the heart of its business model. For the Times, this is a matter of existential significance. As a New York TimesCompany vice president has explained, one of the aims of 1619 is, according to NiemanLab, to “convince more of its 150 million monthly readers to pay for a subscription”.

This makes good sense considering that over a third of the Times‘s revenue now comes from digital subscriptions — and nearly two-thirds of the Times’s American audience is made up of millennial and Gen Z readers. Print subscriptions, meanwhile, are in “steady decline”; advertising is falling by close to (and sometimes more than) double digits each year.

Like all dynasties, the Sulzbergers, the billionaire family that controls the New York Times, are, in part, motivated by financial self-interest. But in the current cultural environment, where a movement of ideological upheaval is at work, it is power as much as money that lies behind what is the most significant journalistic endeavour of the past decade. The Times’s progressive turn (like that of so many American brands) is more top-down than bottom-up; it is a quest for influence rather than principle. The Times knows which way the wind is blowing and in a raging storm why not sail downwind?

The only problem with this approach — in business as much as in life — is that it doesn’t work. As Captain MacWhir in Joseph Conrad’s novella The Typhoon shouts through the raging storm to the story’s young protagonist: “They may say what they like, but the heaviest seas run with the wind.” In its cynical embrace of progressive politics, the Times runs the risk of capsizing in storm waters it mistakenly believes it can control.

ADDENDUM: not to mention that this process is a feedback loop. Perhaps the number of moderate subscribers that they lose is outweighed by their readership gains in the hipster doucheoisie. But that just makes them even more beholden to the latter segment, which means they bend over (backwards or forwards ;)) even further to placate it, driving away even more moderate subscribers, etc…

If I could tell my older readers (or younger readers who plan on becoming older readers) one thing to focus on for long-term health, longevity, and wellness, it would be to maintain your bone density. Not eat this food or do that exercise. Not get more sleep. Those are all important, and many of them fall under the rubric of and contribute to better bone density, but “maintain bone density” gets to the heart of aging. Even the importance of muscle strength shown in longevity studies of older people could actually indicate the importance of bone density, since bone density gains accompany muscle strength gains. You can’t gain muscle without gaining bone.

That’s because bones aren’t passive structures. They are organs that respond to stimulus and produce hormones and help regulate our metabolism.

Osteocalcin, a hormone produced by bone-building osteoblasts, communicates directly with fat cells to release a hormone that improves insulin sensitivity. The osteocalcin produced by bones plays a key role in testosterone production and male fertility, helps regulate mood and memory, and even interacts with the brains of developing fetuses.⁸⁸⁸⁹ It may also help improve endurance, with studies in mice showing that older mice were able to run almost twice as far after being injected with osteocalcin.⁹⁰

Bones provide structural, hormonal, cognitive, and metabolic support. Having strong bones won’t just make you less likely to break something if you fall. They’ll actually give you more energy, brain power, and a healthier metabolism.

If you do nothing, bone density wanes with age. That’s part of entropy. The longer time goes on, the more the human body is pulled toward dissolution, toward chaos. Doing nothing is not an option. You must actively resist the force of entropy on your bones because bones undergird your entire physical existence. Underneath the skin, the muscles, all the surface stuff lie the bones. They’re your literal support system.

How should you support your support system as you age?

How Can You Maintain Bone Density as You Age?

Here are the most important factors for maintaining bone density as you get older.

1. Mechanical loading—lifting heavy things
2. Eating animal protein (plus collagen)
3. Bioavailable calcium from fermented dairy
4. Sun exposure and vitamin D
5. Bone-specific nutrients
6. Mineral water
7. Sleep
8. Eating more colorful produce

Let’s explore each of them in greater detail.

Lift Heavy Things and Endure High Impact Activity

Just like your muscles respond to mechanical loading (lifting weights) by getting stronger, bones also fortify themselves in response to intense loading.

“Heavy” and “intense” are relative. What’s heavy to a 60 year old grandma won’t be the same to a 30 year old athlete. All a weight has to be is “heavy for you” to start improving bone density. Don’t think you need to deadlift twice bodyweight to get a good effect (unless, of course, 1.9x bodyweight deadlifts are easy to you).

You can even do it without any weights at all. Several studies have shown that merely hopping in place 20-40 times a day can improve hip density in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women.

The best way to maintain bone density is a combination of impact training (jumping, sprinting, hopping, calisthenics—anything where you move quickly and then must stop and absorb the force you’ve just generated) and weight training. That’s true for women especially, the most vulnerable population.⁹¹

The impact is key. Older endurance runners have lower bone density than age-matched sprinters, and senior athletes who engage in high-impact activity have higher bone density.⁹²⁹³ Just like “heavy” is relative, so is “impact.” Only expose your body to impact you can handle safely. It should be jarring, but mildly.

Eat Animal Protein

Vegans will tell you that animal protein “leaches calcium from bones.” That it’s “acidic.” That it’s “inflammatory.” That you need to get your protein from plants to conserve your bone health. But the opposite is true.

Animal protein increases calcium absorption and assimilation. Seniors who eat the most animal protein (yes, even the dreaded meat) have the strongest bones, while those eat the least have the lowest bone density.⁹⁴ Meanwhile, other studies have found that plant protein—but not animal protein, which has the opposite association—is associated with lower bone mineral density.⁹⁵

There are studies that find negative associations between “meat diets” and bone density, but only in the context of modern Western diets like the Standard American Diet high in refined grains, sugar, and seed oils. In Mediterranean or Asian diets, a high meat intake is protective.⁹⁶

Two things to keep in mind:

• Make sure “animal protein” contains collagen and gelatin, not just muscle meat. Collagen is an integral part of the bone matrix, providing “bounce” and pliability and strength.⁹⁷ Great ways to get more gelatin/collagen include bone broth, collagen powder, gelatinous meats like oxtail, feet, necks, and skin.
• Make sure you eat enough protein. As the average person ages, their ability to utilize protein diminishes. That’s due to many factors, some of which you can mitigate by leading a healthy Primal lifestyle, but some of it is a consequence of time. Eating at least 100 grams of protein a day is a good target for the average older reader.

Eat Dairy and Other Sources of Bioavailable Calcium

Yes, yes, the absolute amount of calcium doesn’t matter as much as people think and calcium supplementation can have counterintuitive, even negative effects if you don’t have the right co-factors for calcium assimilation and utilization, but you still need calcium in the diet. The most bioavailable form of calcium can be found in dairy, especially fermented dairy like cheese, yogurt, and kefir. Other good forms include small bone-in fish, like sardines.

Dairy consistently and reliably improves bone mineral density, whether it’s in 6 year olds or young adults or Europeans or Asians or the elderly.⁹⁸ I recommend fermented dairy like kefir for a couple reasons.

• One, animal studies suggest that the fermentation process creates peptides that have special effects on bone loss and density.⁹⁹
• Two, even lactose or dairy-intolerant people are more likely to tolerate fermented dairy.
• Three, the probiotics in fermented dairy have been shown to improve bone density.¹⁰⁰

Dairy works really well in older adults looking to increase bone mineral density, especially fermented.¹⁰¹ Choose yogurt and kefir for maximum effect.

Get Sunlight and Take Vitamin D

Sun is important for bone density for several reasons.

• Getting the natural light of the sun in your eyes helps set your circadian rhythm, making you sleepy at night and less vulnerable to the disruptive effects of bright light at night.
• Getting the UVB on your skin at midday lets you produce vitamin D, a pro-hormone with huge effects on hormonal health, calcium absorption, and bone metabolism.
• Getting UVA on your skin increases nitric oxide production. This one is a little more speculative, but researchers have used nitric oxide donors (drugs or compounds that increase nitric oxide in the body) to improve bone density.

Unfortunately, the older you are, the less vitamin D you make from sunlight. Older folks may need to supplement with vitamin D and should definitely monitor their vitamin D levels to ensure they’re either making enough from sunlight or taking enough through supplementation.

Get Bone-specific Nutrients

Get adequate amounts of the nutrients most relevant to bone density.

• Melatonin: Optimize your sleep or take 1-3 mg at night.
• Vitamin K2: 0.5-1 mg per day.
• Vitamin D3: Get levels up to 30 ng/mL at least, ideally through sun but with supplementation if sun isn’t doing it.
• Vitamin A/retinol: Makes vitamin D3 more effective, combines well with D and K2.
• Calcium: 800-1600 mg/day
• Magnesium: 400-600 mg/day
• Potassium: 3-5 g/day
• Protein: 100+ g/day
• Collagen: 10-20 g/day
• Omega-3s: 3-5 servings of fatty fish each week

Some foods that are great sources of these nutrients:

• Cod liver oil/cod livers (omega-3s, vitamin A, vitamin D)
• Blackstrap molasses (magnesium, calcium, potassium)
• Shellfish (magnesium, omega-3s, protein)
• Aged cheeses like gouda (vitamin K2, calcium)
• Natto (vitamin K2)

A combination of melatonin, strontium, vitamin K2, and vitamin D3 given to postmenopausal women for one year increased bone mineral density at several sites.¹⁰²

Optimize Your Sleep

Sleep is an active time. Even though you’re just lying there, totally unconscious and unaware of your surroundings, your body is repairing damage, clearing out refuse, and maintaining the structure and stability of your muscles, brains, and bones. Just how does poor sleep impair bone health?

• In seniors, the more they sleep the less osteoporosis they have. Less sleep leads to greater bone loss. More sleep protects against it.¹⁰³
• Melatonin, the hormone that induces sleepiness at night, plays a huge role in bone metabolism. For instance, removing a rat’s pineal gland (which produces melatonin) significantly lowers their bone mineral density.
• Obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by frequent cessations of breathing during sleep and an overall lower quality of sleep, is independently associated with low bone mineral density.
• Too much or too little sleep are both linked to osteoporosis, with daily sleep durations of 7-8 hours, 9-10 hours, and 10 hours all showing a relationship to low bone mineral density.

So it’s not just “sleep more.” It’s “sleep better.” You have to optimize your sleep hygiene, which is a big job. Luckily, I’ve told you how to optimize your sleep before.

Drink Mineral Water

Historically, the water most people drank was rich in minerals. That’s the environment in which the human body and its mineral requirements evolved. Our genes thus “expect” the water we drink to contain minerals. So what do we do? Drink tap water low in minerals, purified water bereft of most minerals, or “reverse osmosis” water bereft of anything at all.

What should we do?

Drink mineral water.

Drinking a liter of your average bottled mineral water a day can provide between 20% and 58% of your daily calcium needs and 16% and 41% of your daily magnesium needs.¹⁰⁴ In addition to that, mineral water can be a good source of other minerals relevant to bone health, like silicon, boron, and strontium. The absorption of calcium (and, presumably, other minerals) from mineral water is equal to or greater than the absorption of calcium from milk, a clear indication that we are well suited to drinking it.¹⁰⁵

Women living in areas with high mineral levels in their drinking water have slightly higher bone mineral density, a clear indication that we should be drinking it.¹⁰⁶

I like Gerolsteiner best.

Optimize Hormone Status

Hormones are master orchestrators of physiological homeostasis. They keep things running smoothly. They maintain muscle, organ systems, and bone mineral balance. When they start to falter with age, our ability to maintain homeostasis across all these systems suffers.

The fall in estrogen levels that characterizes menopause often triggers a loss of bone mineral density, as estrogen is the primary regulating hormone of bone health. Osteoporosis is so common in postmenopausal women that the efficacy of most menopausal interventions is determined by how they affect bone mineral density. I’ve written about menopause in the past. Hormone replacement therapy may be in order; there’s a post on that as well.

For men, low testosterone is a major indicator of osteoporosis risk. About 50% of older men with hip osteoporosis also have hypogonadism; I’d wager the other half have lower than normal testosterone that doesn’t qualify clinically.¹⁰⁷ However, estrogen remains important. Even in men who take testosterone replacement therapy to normalize low T levels, the subsequent increase in bone mineral density is associated with a rise in estrogen. The increased testosterone helps bone health (and certainly has other benefits), but it does so indirectly by helping normalize estrogen.¹⁰⁸

Eat Colorful Produce

Whether it’s extra virgin olive oil or blueberries or bok choy, all the studies finding a link between specific “superfoods” and better bone health have one thing in common: the foods they’re studying contain lots of polyphenols and other phytonutrients.

How is it working?

• Mostly by lowering inflammation. Chronic low level inflammation slowly dissolves bones (not literally, but in effect), predisposing your body toward atrophy and catabolism rather than healthy growth and maintenance. The polyphenols in things like olive oil and blueberries can counter that inflammation by upregulating your own endogenous antioxidant systems.
• Also by increasing potassium intake. Plants are a great source of potassium, and potassium intake has been shown to modulate bone density.

These all work best together. This isn’t a “do this one thing to improve your bone density” post. You need to be lifting, jumping/hopping, eating dairy, eating meat, optimizing hormone status, sleeping well, eating colorful plants or bitter olive oil, and getting sunlight, all of it. Getting sun gives you vitamin D and improves your sleep and promotes physical activity. Eating foods high in calcium tend to provide both animal protein and nutrients that improve bone density. And so on. They’re all synergistic.

And the older you are, the more important everything here becomes. The more time-sensitive. You need to start today.

RIGHT ON CUE: Biden asks FTC to check for “illegal conduct” on high gas pricing.

Joe Biden sent a letter today asking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to look into whether oil companies are illegally increasing prices resulting in the pain American consumers are feeling at the gas pump. This move is not completely unexpected. Last week I wrote about his interview with a local Cincinnati television station where Biden floated the balloon. The rise in gas prices at the pump must mean those evil oil and gas companies are price gouging, right?

As brain-dead reasoning goes from this anti-fossil fuel president, this is a beauty. Send the FTC on a wild goose chase for nefarious pricing action by energy companies instead of looking at his own actions, that’s the ticket. Instead of asking his alleged energy experts, I know, about his options in correcting the situation, he points a finger at Big Oil because it’s a favorite whipping boy of the keep-it-in-the-ground wackos.

Straight out of the Sacramento playback for explaining away California’s high taxes on gas and frequent electricity blackouts:

● California governor demands probe of power blackouts.

● “Newsom finally noticed that his state has the highest gas prices in the nation, and he’s angry:”

So angry, in fact, he ordered his Attorney General to investigate the decades-long mystery.

“There is no identifiable evidence to justify these premium prices,” Newsom wrote in a letter to state Attorney General Xavier Becerra. “If oil companies are engaging in false advertising or price fixing, then legal action should be taken to protect the public.”

Newsom correctly identified the symptom but remains clueless about the cause. He at least pretends to be.

Having used the same “demanding an industry probe” stunt at least twice, “Pretends” was the key word here. Similarly, don’t Biden’s staffers know he’s not the first government executive to try this stunt?

Incidentally, Newsom may need to dust off his 2019 letter as well: Read it and Weep: California Hits All-Time High Gas Prices, and Some SoCal Stations Charge More.

But why would blue state Californians “weep?” Aren’t California’s High Gas Prices What The Left Have Wanted?

JOE BIDEN’S SACRIFICIAL PRESIDENCY:

If you want to force a population off of meat consumption because you think it’s harming the planet, you simply make things like meat too expensive. If you want to force people into electric vehicles because you believe they’re harming the planet, you let gas prices soar to astronomical levels, to the point where people don’t drive and opt for public transportation.

To the Democrats, this is the Biden sacrifice. He will be a one-term president, but in his one term, he’ll be able to transform the country in a way no politician who cared about his political future would ever dare to attempt. It’s a deal that a 79-year-old Joe Biden would take, if it meant the national press speaks his name in the same breath as FDR.

Joe Biden is not the future. He might not even be the present. That’s why his administration is governing like he has months to live, sweeping through a bucket list of progressive wishes. Doing so is already causing enormous harm, but in the end it will be worth it for the Democrats, and it will be worth it for Biden.

Even Psaki knows he’s obviously on borrowed time: Video surfaces of Psaki 2 years ago laughing at Biden’s gaffes: “What on earth is happening right now?”
