Subject : The Collapse of the US Ruling Class and the Rise of The People.

 

 

 

Grenoble, France

June 19, 2026

 

 

Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,

Looking for patterns in the chaos and the intentional deceptions which pass as American culture today, we are reminded of the young Marx who once wrote: “We judge people by what they do, and not by what they say they are.”

 

Readers of CEIMSA would be well advised to examine carefully what is issuing out of the Anglophone social media, and to understand it as an on-going report on new social configurations in the making. Class conflicts take their direction from the perceptions of participants which are more related to collective experiences of events in objective reality than to an individual’s subjective reception of received ideas from imaginary events. While both of these experiences play a role in determining social existence, for the most part what we see, feel and smell (either consciously or unconsciously) carries more weight in the formation of our collective understanding than any repetitious propaganda with which we might be bludgeoned almost every day of our lives. The truth is found in a carefully weighed assessment of the facts by rational beings who are capable of comparing and contrasting ideas, while taking into account their complexities. Such a capacity comes from practical experience in ordinary social life, including relationships in our family, our community, and at our place of work. Without cognizance of these experiences, we are left in an imaginary limbo –with no orientation and with no purpose.

 

The 26+ items below should be used to test our understanding of life around us, and its interrelationship with global events; ultimately we can compare and contrast our understandings with those of others who might share our common interests.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Francis McCollum Feeley

“The Celebration of an Iranian Deal Is Premature”

https://www.globalresearch.ca/celebration-iranian-deal-premature/5930017

by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

The New York Times, Bloomberg, Bongino, and many other “news sources” have falsely reported a US-Iranian peace deal, and the oil market is pricing based on the mistake. What are the real facts?

“Iran Executed a Hidden Three-Stage Strategy Leaving Washington Confused”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MicLBWY39q0

with Prof Jiang Xueqin

(29:40)

In this video, we examine the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the United States and Iran on June 15th, 2026 — and what Iran did in the hours immediately after that no mainstream outlet stopped to cover. We trace the timeline of three simultaneous moves — economic, military, and diplomatic — break down what is actually inside the MoU versus what America went to war to achieve, and ask the question nobody in Washington wants to answer: if Iran's central bank was already in Moscow the day the ink dried, if Iran's military declared "eyes open, hands on the trigger" within hours of signing, and if the agreement leaves Iran's missile program, proxy network, and 440 kilograms of near-weapons-grade uranium completely untouched — what exactly did America negotiate?

“Iran Mined Its Nuclear Sites While Negotiating Peace. Washington Is Still Silent”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAt8oxTGMUY&si=In0Q-RDgkJ2uyrpo

with Prof Jiang Xueqin

(29:40)

In this video, we examine the Iran-U.S. peace negotiations of June 2026 — the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding, the six deadlocks neither side can resolve, and what Iran's decision to mine its own nuclear sites during active talks reveals about the true nature of this agreement. We trace the timing of the IEEPA asset seizure, break down the strategic logic behind Washington's silence after Israel's strikes, and apply the Theater of Consent framework to ask the question nobody in the mainstream media is willing to ask: is Netanyahu defying Trump, or executing the plan?

“Iran's Hidden Move Crushed America's Peace Plan While China Quietly Profited”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWdBPX_WLoE&si=EVEUyxv67BtqKk7h

with Prof Jiang Xueqin

(29:14, with transcript)

This video examine what China did in the exact 24 hours America was signing its peace deal with Iran — three strategic moves that received almost no Western media coverage, including the launch of a 160-nation global governance initiative, a direct challenge to dollar dominance at the Lujiazui Forum, and a series of trade concessions extracted from a weakened Washington without a single reciprocal commitment. We trace the structure of the Islamabad MOU, break down the IAEA verification gap that makes the 60-day agreement nearly impossible to fulfill, and map the documented infrastructure the United States used to collapse Bangladesh's government in 2024 onto the political fault lines already present inside Iran today. And we ask the question that nobody in Washington or Tehran wants answered: if America promised three hundred billion dollars to rebuild Iran while positioning the same organizations that ran Bangladesh's regime change operation — who exactly is that money designed to empower?

“Trump says no to Nathanyahu”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtV9a9gafJM

with Prof Jiang Xueqin

(24:10)

Trump just told Netanyahu, "Everybody hates you." The 30-year alliance is officially over. After the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, and global backlash against Israel, Trump is finally pulling back — and Netanyahu has lost the one ally that was protecting him.... In this video, we examine: The real story behind the Trump-Netanyahu breakup, why the Iran ceasefire happened, what Lebanon has to do with it, and how 30 years of Israeli influence over American foreign policy may finally be ending.

“Iran Just Changed the Future of Warfare — And Nobody Is Ready For It”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TefwDyFynBo&si=RBPLpKLtEbS-rSwa

with Prof. Jiang Xueqin

(20:40)

What if the future of warfare has already arrived—and most of the world hasn't noticed? In this eye-opening analysis, Prof. Jiang Xueqin examines how Iran's evolving military strategy may be reshaping the battlefield of the 21st century. From mass drone operations and precision missile strikes to electronic warfare, asymmetric tactics, and the growing challenge to traditional air defenses, this conflict is revealing lessons that every military power is now studying closely. Analysts increasingly point to the rise of low-cost drones, missile saturation attacks, and multi-domain warfare as key trends that could define future conflicts. Has Iran discovered a new way to challenge technologically superior opponents? Are expensive weapons systems becoming vulnerable to swarms of cheaper autonomous technologies? And what does this mean for the future of global security, NATO, China, Russia, the United States, and the next generation of warfare?

In this video, Prof. Jiang breaks down:

• Iran's drone and missile strategy

• The rise of asymmetric warfare

• How modern air defense systems are being tested

• Why military planners around the world are paying attention

• The lessons future armies may learn from today's conflicts

• How technology is changing the balance of power on the battlefield

This is not just a story about Iran. It's a glimpse into the future of war itself.

📌 Watch until the end to understand why some experts believe the rules of warfare are changing faster than governments can adapt. Recent analyses have highlighted how drone swarms, precision strikes, and networked warfare are transforming military doctrine worldwide.

“Iran Just Broke the One Rule That Kept America in Control of the Middle East”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuyYjUGihZw&si=tyFsIXIeDNR489td

with Prof. Jiang Xueqin

(28:14)

For fifty years, there was one rule in the Middle East. You could challenge American influence. You could resist sanctions. You could fund proxies and frustrate Washington's policies. But you could not threaten the physical infrastructure that keeps the global economy running. You could not touch the oil. In this video, we examine why Iran's strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure may represent something far bigger than another regional escalation. Did Iran deliberately test the boundaries of American power? Why was the response calibrated instead of existential? And what does this reveal about the future of the Middle East, the petrodollar system, and the global order itself? Watch until the end as we break down the Rule Collapse Threshold and explore why governments around the world are paying close attention to what happens next.

“Iran Just Handed China the Blueprint  to Defeat America Without Firing a Shot”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRPuewqXxVQ&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

with Prof. Jiang Xueqin

(28:11)

What if the most important audience in the America-Iran conflict isn't in Washington or Tehran—but in Beijing? For forty years, Iran has generated the world's most detailed real-world data on how a determined adversary can constrain American power without defeating it militarily. And China has been taking notes. In this video, we break down the five chapters of Iran's strategic blueprint and explore how China is applying those lessons at superpower scale through what can be called the Asymmetric Supremacy Doctrine. How does Taiwan fit into this strategy? Why is the Global South becoming the decisive battleground of great-power competition? And does China need to defeat America—or simply make American dominance too expensive to sustain? Watch until the end as we uncover the mechanisms, historical patterns, and strategic logic shaping the next era of global power.

Violent clashes erupted in Geneva ahead of the G7 Summit as anti-G7 protesters set cars and barricades on fire, prompting riot police to respond with tear gas and water cannons. Dramatic footage shows burning vehicles, protesters throwing stones and firefighters battling blazes as thousands marched through the Swiss city denouncing the G7, capitalism and Western foreign policy. Demonstrators targeted leaders including Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu while accusing the world's richest democracies of profiting from war and global conflicts. The unrest comes as world leaders prepare to gather in Evian-les-Bains, France, for the G7 Summit from June 15 to 17 amid heightened security and growing geopolitical tensions.

“FULL TALK | Norman Finkelstein at UMass: Gaza, Truth & the Battle for Free Speech”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFoHXuhq9mU

by Media Education Foundation

(2:14:43, with transcript)

Acclaimed scholar & author Norman Finkelstein delivered a powerful and defiant address at UMass, Amherst, on Sept. 24, 2025. Speaking before a packed audience, Finkelstein dissected Israel's mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza; the long history of Israel’s brutal occupation, siege, and successive "high-tech killing sprees" and atrocities in the Strip; the bipartisan complicity of U.S. political leaders, corporate media, and global institutions in the face of these crimes; the mounting McCarthyite crackdown on free speech, dissent, and academic freedom at home; and the need for a resurgent movement led by young people to reclaim free speech and renew democracy.

“Iran BOMBS Secret Israeli NUKE Hub? Huge Fire At Dimona Sparks Panic | Tehran Ally Hits North Israel”

by Times Of India

(10:51)

A fire at an electrical substation in the southern Israeli city of Dimona has drawn widespread attention due to the strategic importance of the area, despite authorities attributing the incident to a technical malfunction. According to reports circulating in Israeli and regional media, the blaze erupted at a power distribution facility serving the Dimona area. Initial assessments by technical teams indicate that the fire was caused by an internal fault involving high-voltage electrical equipment within the substation. Emergency crews responded to the scene and worked to contain the flames. Local authorities have so far described the incident as an industrial electrical failure, with no indication of sabotage or external involvement. However, the location of the incident has elevated international interest.

China has officially broken its silence on the landmark Phase I memorandum of understanding reached between the United States and Iran, throwing its diplomatic weight behind the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated that restoring safe, unhindered maritime passage serves the global interest, adding that Beijing remains in constant contact with regional powers to safeguard Chinese vessels and crew members. However, Beijing also issued a stern warning over continued military operations in the region, declaring that "Lebanon's sovereignty and security should not be violated" and urging all parties to respect ceasefire arrangements before the historic framework collapses. #China #Iran #USIranDeal #StraitOfHormuz #Lebanon #MiddleEast #Beijing #Diplomacy #MaritimeSecurity #BreakingNews

“The Art of Capitulation: Trump Spins Victory as Iran Says its Red Lines Remain Intact”

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/trump-iran-deal-israel-lebanon-hassan-ahmadian

by Jeremy Scahill, with Sami Vanderlip

(53:57)

Top Iran analyst Dr. Hassan Ahmadian tells Drop Site Trump was forced to seek a deal on Iran's terms after meeting the “hard rock” of Iranian resistance.

Throughout the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, President Donald Trump has constantly flailed in his campaign to portray it as a historic success. The blunt reality is that what Trump announced as a quick and easy war of regime change rapidly transformed into a quagmire. For the past two months, Trump has struggled to find a way to declare victory, alternating between claims that Iran is begging him for a deal and threats to destroy Iranian civilization.

On Thursday morning, Trump threatened to hit Iran “very hard.” Later in the day, Trump claimed a deal was now at hand, suggesting it could be signed as early as this weekend. “Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved.”

Trump has made such claims more than three dozen times since the initial two-week ceasefire was signed on April 7, and behind the scenes, Iranian officials maintain they have stood firm in protecting their own red lines in any deal framework.

This time, however, the initial response from Tehran indicates that a deal may well take shape. According to Iranian officials and state-affiliated media outlets, a breakthrough occurred this week when Trump backed off a series of new demands and ultimatums and accepted a deal that would adhere to a framework ironed out in May in indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

On Friday morning, Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill spoke to one of the top Iran analysts, Dr. Hassan Ahmadian, Associate Professor of Middle East Studies at Tehran University. Since the war began, Ahmadian has become one of the most prominent Iranian commentators in the Islamic world because of his viral appearances on Al Jazeera Arabic.

“The United States has hit the hard rock of a formidable force that stopped its aggression and they have to deal with it,” said Ahmadian. “President Trump realized that he cannot change the failure, the military failure of the war into a diplomatic win.”

They discuss the events leading up to Trump’s announcement on Thursday, Iran’s red lines—including the unfreezing of assets and an end to the war on Lebanon—and how Israel will seek to sabotage a deal while continuing its overt and covert actions targeting Iran. They also discuss the economic impact on Iran and the domestic political situation.

“THE SECRET 'DOOMSDAY BOOK' THAT ENABLES TRUMP'S ABUSES OF POWER”

https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/the-secret-doomsday-book-that-enables?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1377040&post_id=202443091&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=1ceedo&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

by Seymour Hersh

Presidential Emergency Action Documents have a long history, but Trump's invocation of them on immigration betrays their original purpose.

This is an account of the authorities, many of them top secret and higher, that permit President Donald Trump and his more knowledgeable senior aides to carry on their violent and vicious attacks on minorities and those who disagree with them and their policies with legislative and even legal impunity.

The answer lies in most cases with what are known as Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs), which have enabled Trump today and his predecessors before him to suspend fundamental constitutional rights, detain civilians, seize property, impose martial law, and censor communications. These extraordinary powers have been put to widespread use by Trump and his aides, such as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought. They have acted with no congressional authority, no judicial review, and no statutory mechanism for Congress to terminate their powers, once activated, as they have been since Trump took office.

These little known and rarely discussed authorities have been developed across more than a dozen administrations, since Dwight Eisenhower was in office, by presidents of both political parties, and their secrecy and authority have yet to be successfully challenged in Congress or by a federal court. One of the most detailed accounts of PEADs, last updated in 2024, has been prepared by the Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy group sponsored by NYU School of Law. It warns of the political danger of PEADs as extraordinary secret presidential documents that have never been declassified or leaked: “It appears they are not even subject to congressional oversight. Although the law requires the executive branch to report even the most sensitive covert military and intelligence operations to at least some members of Congress, there is no such disclosure requirement for PEADs, and no evidence that the documents have ever been shared with relevant congressional committees.”

I am summarizing here the initial paragraphs from what is perhaps the most detailed and up-to-date private study of PEADs written by Joel McCleary, a former aide to President Jimmy Carter and an expert on biological weapons. McCleary has steeped himself for decades in the study of secret presidential authorities. He is a low-profile Harvard graduate who served as treasurer of the Democratic National Committee during the Carter administration and later led projects for the Defense Department and Homeland Security regarding pandemic and biological defense issues. I wrote a book on chemical and biological warfare and worked with members of Congress in the months before President Richard Nixon agreed in 1969 to enact a US ban on such weapons. A friendship was inevitable when McCleary and I first met decades ago, but we grew closer after Trump took office for a second time in 2025 and began a massive attack on the federal government workforce and authorized Stephen Miller, who by any standard is a sadistic extremist, to carry out the mass deportation of Hispanics and others, both undocumented individuals and persons in the country legally, often separating parents and young children.

by Forbidden News

THIS ALLIANCE MIGHT BE THE “NICE” WAY OF CARRYING OUT E.O. 13818, BECAUSE FORCIBLY SEIZING THEIR ASSETS WOULD LEAD TO A LOT OF SOCIAL & ECONOMIC CHAOS & DEATH

The above video is a 22-minute clip from Pete Santilli’s Fraud Fighter Summit presentation on Tuesday, the uncut version of which is here.

Pete goes over some of the same ground, with added images and documents, that I’ve been covering about him lately and which I won’t repeat here, as this post is to memorialize some of the new details he reveals and how these tie into my other past reports.

Pete has previously spoken about the facility in Port Washington, Maryland where he said Barack Obama and his CIA, FBI and NSA directors set up supercomputers to create what he’s called a “parallel NSA” that was used to spy on everyone and that ran the election theft software and where there were servers for 23 child porn websites, the chat rooms of which were used by Black Project operators to communicate with each other.

Securing communications by embedding them on child porn sites is an extreme method that apparently works, because the possession of a single image of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a serious crime and is absolute grounds for arrest.

This may help explain why federal investigations identified more than 250 Defense Department employees and contractors who allegedly purchased or downloaded child pornography on government-issued computers, 76 of whom held Secret or higher security clearances and it may explain why the Pentagon declined to pursue disciplinary or criminal action against a large percentage of those identified.

Pete then lobs the bombshell that:

“Chief Justice John Roberts has 11 child porn website URLs attributed to his name. That’s where he gets his marching orders. We have evidence of it. And everything I’m about to tell you right now is documented legally.”

Some readers may recall that on January 18, 2021 defamation superlawyer, Lin Wood posted a video deposition from the late Dr Jon McGreevey, a government whistleblower who told him that Chief Justice Roberts adopted his children with the help of Jeffrey Epstein and then he proceeded to use his children to sexually entrap and blackmail powerful people.

 

VIDEO: “John Roberts, Jeff Epstein and the Plot to Murder SCOTUS Justices” - Pub Jan 19, 2021 by ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.net


Dr McGreevey told Lin:

"Children are often used as a commodity, a way to buy yourself into certain inner circles. And these people are all wealthy, they're all powerful and they won't trust you unless you're as compromised as they are…if everybody's just as dirty, you know you're safe…Children are the payment and the dirt and the control."

Dr McGreevey also relayed how Roberts helped with some logistics in a plot to kill several Supreme Court Justices during Hillary Clinton’s first term, so that she could then pack the Supreme Court with Globalists/Communists. (She never thought she would lose). He claimed that he’d been hired by someone at the office of the Supreme Court to infiltrate the operation and it was largely foiled but unfortunately, Justice Anton Scalia was successfully executed in early 2016.

This may be what Pete was referring to when he told Nino Rodriguez last week, “I know where the evidence is against John Roberts. It’s documented. It was turned in.” . . . .

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared Monday that European nations are wrong to believe they can issue ultimatums to Moscow over the Ukraine war, calling their assumption that Russia is losing while Ukraine is winning "completely useless and illusory." Speaking after a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk, Lavrov said President Putin has already addressed the issue in recent speeches and reaffirmed Russia's commitment to the framework agreed with US President Donald Trump at the August 2025 Alaska summit. Lavrov's remarks signal Moscow's rejection of European-led peace initiatives in favor of the US-brokered process, as Russia awaits an expected visit from US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss implementation of the agreed terms.

My dear truth seekers, as you know, on October 27, 2025, Russia finally withdrew from the agreement with the United States on the Plutonium Management and Disposition (PMDA). Russia explained this step by forced measures due to numerous violations of this agreement by the United States. It is noteworthy that right after that, experts called what was happening the beginning of a new stage of the Cold War. Indeed, in October 2025, all the agreements reached on nuclear arms control ceased to exist. Moreover, since October 2025, Russia has begun regularly conducting drills of its strategic nuclear forces.

The Bahraini minister praised Russia's role in promoting regional stability and reducing tensions in the Middle East, while Lavrov revealed that Moscow had updated and circulated a new Gulf security framework aimed at bringing Arab states and Iran into a common security architecture. The discussions also focused on freedom of navigation and growing concerns surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy and shipping routes.

“‘We Won’t Submit To Threats, Iran FM Abbas Araghchi Defies Trump”

In a highly charged televised interview on Iranian state media, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi delivered a defiant and uncompromising message to the United States and Israel, casting a shadow over the highly anticipated June 19 Geneva peace negotiations. Dismissing US President Donald Trump’s social media claims that military strikes forced Tehran to the negotiating table, Araghchi asserted that the world is well aware of Trump's rhetorical posturing and urged observers to ignore his tweets. The Foreign Minister boasted of Iran’s ability to withstand 'the greatest apparent superpower' and its nuclear-armed allies during recent military clashes, declaring it a monumental strategic victory. In a stark warning over regional maritime trade, Araghchi made clear that despite any upcoming diplomatic frameworks, Iran’s military 'sword' will permanently hang over the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining absolute leverage over the world's most critical oil chokepoint. He further labeled Israel as the primary enemy of peace, openly gloating over Iran initiating direct attacks to 'punish' the Zionist regime, while warning Western negotiators that they cannot achieve through diplomacy what they failed to secure on the battlefield.

The Middle East Crisis Is Here

— And the Endgame Has Started America, Iran and Israel: The Real Endgame Is Ahead This Crisis Was Predictable

— Now Comes the Dangerous Part The Iran Trap Is Working

— The Real Endgame Begins The Crisis Has Arrived

— But the Real Endgame Is Ahead

The Middle East Endgame Nobody Wants to Admit The Middle East crisis is no longer just about one strike, one speech, or one leader’s decision. It is now becoming a deeper geopolitical endgame involving the United States, Iran, Israel, Netanyahu, Trump, oil markets, regional alliances, and the future of American power. In this 19th jun 2026 video we analyze why this crisis was predictable, why Iran’s strategy is based on endurance, why Israel faces a political and strategic dilemma, and why America may be entering a trap it cannot easily control.

This video explains:

• Why this crisis was predictable

• The real endgame behind the Middle East crisis

• America’s dilemma as a global power

• Israel’s strategic problem

• Iran’s survival strategy

• Oil, markets, the dollar, and global consequences

• Why the conflict may end through exhaustion, not victory

• What happens next in the new Middle East order

This is not just a regional crisis. It is a test of power, patience, strategy, and the future of the American-led world order.

by Mera Aladam, Middle East Eye

Meanwhile, Palestinian factions have responded to 'Peace Council' chief Nickolay Mladenov's proposals for a Gaza peace roadmap.

Israeli attacks continue across the Gaza Strip 245 days into the US-brokered ceasefire, with over 3,269 ceasefire violations by Israel recorded by authorities in the enclave. 

According to Gaza's Government Media Office, Israel's assault on the territory since October's nominal ceasefire has resulted in over 992 killings and 3,138 others wounded. 

On Monday, an Israeli bombing near a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, killed a Palestinian and injured several others.

Earlier in the day, a woman was reportedly killed after an air strike targeted the vicinity of the Abdul Rahman bin Awf Mosque, west of the Al-Zuwayda area in central Gaza Strip.

Another incident involved Israeli troops firing at a father and his child in Deir Al-Balah and subsequently arbitrarily detaining them.

In this first episode of the new and independent iteration of The Chris Hedges Report, Palestinian novelist Atef Abu Saif and Hedges explore Saif's experiences under siege by the Israelis in Gaza, and the meaning behind them, in a substantive and powerful conversation. Through it, the texture of the genocide and the damage it inflicts on its victims is captured, as Saif’s eloquence and vulnerability reveals the weight of the tragedy in a way only facts and data simply cannot.

“His Mission: Saving Lives and Souls With Chlorine Dioxide”

https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

by Pierre Kory, MD, MPA

Many readers know that I have frequently collaborated with my dear friend, investigative journalist Mary Beth Pfeiffer. Her interest in chlorine dioxide grew alongside my research for The War on Chlorine Dioxide, the second book in my "War On" series. Building on that work with decades of investigative reporting experience, she has produced what I consider a masterpiece of both truth and hope—a must-read. Enjoy.
(For the broader history and known efficacy of chlorine dioxide and its more than a half a century of coordinated regulatory suppression, see my book The War on Chlorine Dioxide which, for obvious reasons, "ain't on Amazon," can purchase here if interested: www.waronchlorinedioxide.com

“Vitamin D Mistake: 15 X Too Low”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtoxkK7MeKc&t=556s

with Dr John Campbell

(19:17)

A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D (2014) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...

US, nearly 15 times too low

UK, 0ver 22 times too low

IOM calculation 600 units (15 mcg), 97.5% of people will achieve 63 nmol/L (25.2 ng/ml)

Correct calculation 600 units (15 mcg), 97.5% of people will achieve 26.8 nmol/L (10.7 ng/ml)

Requirements based on correct calculation 8,895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more.

The "Average" vs. "Individual" Mistake

Canada studies Diet gives 232 IU of vitamin D per day Institute of Medicine (IOM), RDA vitamin D 600 IU per day, (aged 1 to 70 years) Now called the National Academy of Medicine https://nam.edu

UK is even worse https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamin... UK, 400 iu or 10 mcg 600 iu per day to achieve serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of 50 nmol/L or more in 97.5% of healthy individuals. Levels of 50 nmol/L or more have been shown to benefit bone health and to prevent disease and injury. The IOM based their RDA for vitamin D on an aggregation of 10 supplementation studies, (32 dose protocols) carried out during winter months, at locations above 50th parallel IOM regressed the 32 study averages, dose: plasma ratio On the basis of this, IOM estimated that 600 IU of vitamin D would achieve an average 25(OH)D level of 63 nmol/L Requirements based on correct calculation 8,895 IU of vitamin D per day This dose is well in excess of the current RDA of 600 IU per day and the tolerable upper intake of 4000 IU per day. The public health and clinical implications of the miscalculated RDA for vitamin D are serious. With the current recommendation of 600 IU, bone health objectives and disease and injury prevention targets will not be met. We recommend that the RDA for vitamin D be reconsidered to allow for appropriate public health and clinical decision-making. The Big Vitamin D Mistake https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles... Explanation of the statistical error The "Average" vs. "Individual" Mistake The Institute of Medicine’s goal was to find a vitamin D dose that ensures 97.5% of individual people reach a healthy blood level (50 nmol/L). The statistical error occurred because the IOM analysed the averages of different studies rather than the data of individual participants. They looked at 10 studies and took the average blood levels achieved in those studies. They calculated a statistical range (Confidence Interval) based on those averages. They found that with 600 IU, 97.5% of the study averages would hit the target. The Problem There is much less variation between "averages" than there is between "individuals." By using the averages, the IOM accidentally "smoothed out" the data. They assumed that if the average person in a study was fine, then almost everyone was fine.

The Classroom Analogy Imagine you want to ensure every student passes a test.

The IOM method They looked at the average scores of 30 different classrooms. They set a curriculum so that 97.5% of classrooms would have a passing average. The Reality Even in a classroom with a passing average, there are students who fail.

The Correction To ensure 97.5% of students pass, you have to look at the lowest-performing students, not the class average.

The Consequence When the authors of this paper re-calculated the numbers using the variation of individuals (rather than study averages), they found that the current RDA of 600 IU does not cover 97.5% of the population. Instead, it only ensures that 97.5% of people reach a blood level of 26.8 nmol/L (far below the target of 50 nmol/L). To actually get 97.5% of the population to the healthy target of 50 nmol/L, the math suggests you would need a dose of 8,895 IU per day.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan issued a pointed warning over Israel's military approach across the region, arguing that relying solely on force is detrimental even to Israel's own interests. Speaking in Vienna in his first public appearance since the US-Iran agreement, Faisal criticized Israel's conduct in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank, warning that the systematic dismantling of any path to Palestinian statehood only raises tensions and threatens the stability of the entire region. He urged Washington to push harder on diplomacy, saying he expects the United States to give greater attention to Gaza and the West Bank, where Israeli military actions continue unabated. He also made clear that the Strait of Hormuz must return to its pre-war status quo, and that any durable peace will require a regional dialogue that includes the Palestinians.

“The Rise of the New Normal Reich (Redux)”

https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-the-new-normal-reich-d55?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=298057&post_id=201847093&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=y5fd4&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

by CJ Hopkins

So I’ve got some good news and some bad news.

I’ll give you that news in just a minute, but, first, I need to do a recap for any readers just now tuning in. Regular readers, please bear with me, or just skip down to below the Spiegel image, because a bit of repetition follows.

OK, here we go with the recap.

As I explained in my previous column a few days ago, Germany’s supreme court has refused to issue a ruling on my appeal to overturn the overturning of my acquittal on bogus “hate crime” charges.

So that’s it. My “hate crime” conviction stands.

The “hate crime” is the cover artwork of my book, The Rise of the New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020-2021). I can’t show you a picture of the book, because, if I did, the authorities would probably send the police to raid my home again, and terrorize my wife, and our cats, as they did in November of 2025.

So, instead, as in my previous column, here’s a picture of an issue of Der Spiegel.

My book cover art is more or less exactly like that, except the swastika on my book is behind a medical-looking mask, instead of a German flag, as on the Spiegel cover. The German authorities are not prosecuting Der Spiegel. They are prosecuting me, because I compared them to the Nazis, instead of comparing the AfD to the Nazis.

OK, that’s the recap. Now, the good news, and the bad news.

The bad news is, I am now, officially, a criminal, with a criminal record, in Germany. And my book is officially a crime in Germany. Selling my book is a crime in Germany. Advertising my book is a crime in Germany. Reading my book is a crime in Germany.

I am the publisher of this criminal book, and I live and work in Germany, and thus, I have no choice but to withdraw the book from distribution.

If I do not withdraw it, the German authorities will prosecute me, over and over, and they’ll send the police to raid my home, and terrorize my wife, and our cats, over and over, and impose fines on me until I am totally bankrupt, or possibly even send me to prison. And it’s not just my wife and the cats I’m thinking about. I have been dealing with these tyrants for going on three years now, which has taken up a lot of my time and energy, and caused a lot of stress, which probably contributed to the illness that put me in the hospital recently.

It was disappointing enough that President Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader was with Israeli war criminal Bibi Netanyahu. But it got worse. During their joint press conference he shocked the world by announcing that the US wanted to simply take over Gaza and turn it into a “riviera” for Trump’s billionaire friends, some of whom he owes lots of money.

On June 15, an agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States was announced. Nonetheless, the leadership within the State of Israel stated openly that it was not bound by this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which had been negotiated indirectly between Washington and Tehran.
