And what about the Irish Slaves ? There was more Irish Slaves than Blacks for a long time . "They " like to call them indentured servants , but that is just rewriting history . They were slaves!! Will I get reparations ? I doubt it and I don't want it. We must move on from past atrocities and get on with making things better or just getting on with our own lives and make the best of it. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to do it for you. If you improve your life it will help improve others while your at it.

I see no reason to start a new substack. I enjoy reading whatever is going around the world and in California, both medical and political news. Whatever happens in CA usually spreads to the rest of us. Thank you for all of your research and helping to disseminate the truth to your readers.

I see under the latest post about xylitol comments can't be posted unless you're right premium subscriber, which is the first time that I have seen that on this substack. While there are a couple substracts I wouldn't mind subscribing to as a paid subscriber, I do not wish to keep my credit card on file, especially with the shenanigans Stripe was trying to pull with Dr. Malone a few months ago. I think you may have mentioned an alternative method a while ago but I'm not sure what that was.

Regarding xylitol chewing, maybe there are some that don't have these ingredients but Trident, in addition xylitol contains:

Less than 2% of acesulfame potassium, aspartame, BHT, Mannitol, soy lecithin, and sucralose

Wrigley's Spearmint and Juicy Fruit gum also contains similar artificial sweeteners:

Sugar, Gum Base, Dextrose, Corn Syrup, Less than 2% of: Natural and Artificial Flavors, Glycerol, Soy Lecithin, Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake), BHT (to Maintain Freshness).

Either they're trying to reduce sugar for calories or tooth problems or the cost of sugar, but last time I tried it a few years ago and even a decade before that, it was nothing like the Juicy Fruit and Spearmint gum in the 1950s through 1970s, at least. it's not soft but stiff and its flavor leaves quickly substituted by a bitter aftertaste, plus it has these artificial sweeteners in it when it's not labeled as artificially sweetened. Mars Inc. has owned it since 1993. I believe bubblegum like Double Bubble still has the original simple ingredients.

By the way I don't know if people remember, but in the 1960s an early 1970s, fructose was promoted as an alternative to sucrose for those with hypoglycemia and diabetes because they said it didn't require insulin to be metabolismd and therefore did not cause a sudden rise and then drop in blood sugar. But now studies are indicating that it may negatively affect triglycerides, cholesterol, and body fat composition. In another 5 or 10 years they'll probably reverse themselves again. It was the grain and sugar industry who sponsored the studies that vilified cholesterol in foods, so maybe they're doing it again. Who sponsor the studies on fructose? The sucrose industry fighting high fruit corn syrup, or the artificial sweetener industry fighting a natural alternative? One reason I don't trust studies anymore. Maybe it's the sugar for the artificial sweetener industry sponsored the negative studies about xylitol. Something like at least three out of four health and medical studies are funded by Big Pharma, and four out of five times those studies come out favorable to them whereas when they are not funded by big Pharma it's less less than half the time.

Oklahomans are finding out that the treaties signed by the native tribes with our US government are still in force and the land does indeed still belong to the tribes. Do some searching to see what is happening in Oklahoma regarding the sovereign native American Nation and land ownership in Oklahoma. People do not own the land they farm or where their homes and businesses sit. It's a bit eye-opening. Don't hear much about it mainstream, just like most people don't realize that the native tribes are actually a sovereign nation within our borders.
