Victor Davis Hanson tells us Trump is staging a two-pronged “counterrevolution.” “One of them is to have a foreign policy that's closer to Israel, stops the Iran bomb, controls China … jaw bones Europe to be more accommodating to different views. But the other and the more controversial counterrevolution is they say to themselves: Where is the source of power that gave us the open borders and this lunacy of 12 million illegal aliens, including 500,000 criminals … that allowed fentanyl to come in … Where did all these come from? Biological males in female sports? Where did this DEI, where did ESG come [from]? And they came up with an answer, and they said it's endemic and institutional. And part of it is the high-levels of the government with USAID, these NGOs. Part of it is these foundations that are not really disinterested, the Tides Foundation, the Soros Foundation. Part of it is these academics, these big blue chip universities that bring in Chinese students, overcharge them, bring in people from the Middle East, both countries illiberal, without our interests at heart. They gouge us on grants. They charge 40 to 50% overhead. They defy Supreme Court rules. They practice endemic racism in admissions, retentions, graduation ceremonies, you name it. The student loan program allowed them to gouge the public and raise tuition above the annual rate of inflation. So they looked at all of it…and they decided, in this counter revolution, we are not just going to [deal] with the symptoms…we're going to [deal with] the root cause.” https://rumble.com/v6tn48f-victor-davis-hanson-trump-is-staging-a-counterrevolution.html

Tonight on American Thought Leaders, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Trump is upending the foreign policy status quo. What might the end of the wars in Ukraine & Gaza actually look like? Should Trump have accepted a plane from Qatar? Was it a good idea to lift sanctions on Syria? Is there any truth to rumors of Trump-Netanyahu friction? And how can the US ensure the CCP actually upholds their commitments in any trade deal? 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0520VDH

"We've seen criminal gangs that support the [Chinese] Ministry of State Security. Not only are they stealing technologies, but they're actually doing denial of service attacks and ransomware attacks and actually doing criminal activities. …The bottom line: you have a criminal state that supports these to degrade the United States and to further the greatest transfer of wealth in history."

Between 1987 and 2021, at least 162 Chinese scientists who worked at Los Alamos on critical technologies went back to China to support R&D there. "We have been able to identify some of the areas—including nuclear submarines and weapon systems—that they've worked on back in China. Because they publish on it. Is this illegal? No. We're paralyzed as a bureaucracy in doing anything about this."

Over 50 universities have been identified in court documents in Chinese economic espionage cases, says Nicholas Eftimiades, a leading expert in Chinese espionage. "China uses what we call a whole-of-society approach to conducting espionage…We're talking about tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people engaged globally in carrying out the CCP's will.” 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0517NicholasEftimiades

I've been reflecting a lot on how the business model of most media outlets today seems to be based on fueling outrage and reinforcing worldviews. Here's how one journalist is trying to break these echo chambers: “Think about what media outlets are really making their audience uncomfortable on a regular basis. There's very few of them. …That doesn't seem healthy to me. …For us at Tangle… we're going to take you out of the little, nice, cozy bubble you've been in, and you're going to be made uncomfortable by the news that we're publishing, because we're going to expose you to arguments from people across the political spectrum.” Journalist Isaac Saul, founder of Tangle 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0515IsaacSaul

Here's how one journalist is trying to break media echo chambers: "I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, so swing county in the most important swing state. …I'd always had this idea for a big tent media organization, a place where my friends and family from home could all read the same thing and actually meet and have a shared set of facts and also share a wide range of arguments, where they're being exposed to views from the left and exposed to views from the right. …The number one piece of feedback we get from people on the right and the left is: 'I feel like I'm going less insane when I read your newsletter.'" -Journalist Isaac Saul, founder of Tangle https://rumble.com/v6tfjar-heres-how-one-journalist-is-breaking-media-echo-chambers.html

"One of the major driving factors of the extreme polarization that we're living through right now is that most news consumers can very easily…tune in somewhere where they are just being force fed worldviews & perspectives that confirm all their priors." …Think about what media outlets are really making their audience uncomfortable on a regular basis…There's very few of them." - Journalist Isaac Saul 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0515IsaacSaul

I asked “Unshrunk” author Laura Delano how she responds to criticism that her book or story could be used to justify cutting back mental health services. Her response: "What are the true causes here of this so-called 'mental health crisis' that we're in? If it's not chemical imbalances in our brains or faulty brain pathology, which it isn't - there's no evidence base for any of that to this day - the NIMH acknowledges that, it's not too hard to come to the conclusion that it's about our relationship to the world we live in. Of course, people need support and resources, but do we need them in the arena of getting people more treatment, more diagnoses, or do we need them, actually, where people's struggles emerge from - the circumstances of their lives? And I would argue that's where funding needs to be directed - to the community level, to neighborhoods, to helping people get their basic needs met.” https://rumble.com/v6te0ed-could-psychiatric-treatment-actually-be-exacerbating-americas-mental-health.html

"What I didn't know in 2010, when I decided to come off those drugs, was the fact that my central nervous system had become completely dependent in a physiological sense - not in the addiction sense, where I had cravings and would seek out the drug despite it causing harm. That's the conventional definition of addiction. This was purely physiological. My brain had completely re-acclimated its structure and how it functioned, as had my body, because of these drugs that had been in my system for so many years. And so, coming off of them, it doesn't just flip a switch and then your body goes back to how it was prior to you ever taking them. Coming off of them too quickly actually, ironically, creates a profound imbalance and disrupts the homeostasis that your body has developed to compensate for the presence of these drugs.” - Laura Delano, author of "Unshrunk” 🔴 WATCH FULL:https://ept.ms/S0513LauraDelano

"What I was not told and what my parents were not told is that these [psychiatric] drugs are approved by the FDA on the basis of very short term trials - six to eight weeks on average. There is zero evidence base for polypharmacy. So, these drugs have never been studied in combination with each other. Their safety and efficacy, I should say, has never been studied in combination with each other. And every single psychiatric drug across all the different drug classes is dependence-forming, meaning, as I said earlier, if you take this drug for any length of time, your body may well completely alter itself to accommodate the presence of the drug, so that if you want to come off of it one day, you might have a really hard time doing that. And you might need years of tapering.” - Laura Delano, author of “Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance” https://rumble.com/v6tbsxx-mental-health-advocate-says-the-long-term-effects-of-psychiatric-drugs-have.html

"This system I had been turning to for help all of these years...that I had been assuming existed to take care of me...was actually a system of control. And I just hadn't seen it for what it was, because I had never said no to it before. That changed everything." - Laura Delano, author of “Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance” 🔴 PREMIERE 5/13 at 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0513LauraDelano

"This is part of [Trump's] negotiating tactic. He knows Canada's vulnerability to the United States, and he knows that for Canada, there is no realistic alternative. And he's basically signaling to Canadians he knows this, and he's going to have high expectations of any negotiations that will take place between Canada and the United States over the nature of our trade and other relationships. Let me put it a different way. Canada has, I think it is fair to say, been failing to keep up its end of the bargain with the United States - its end of the bargain being [that] we will be a reliable ally on defense (we have not been a reliable ally on defense), that we will be the country that will look after the Arctic flank of North America (we have not been looking after the Arctic flank of North America), and that we will be enforcing the rule of law in Canada and ensuring that Canada cannot be used as a launching pad for drug trade with the United States.” - Brian Lee Crowley https://ept.ms/S0510BrianLeeCrowley

"In the United States, you have a society in which, in this wonderful, immortal phrase, people are free to pursue 'life, liberty and happiness.' Those were not the values that [Canada] chose to highlight when we wrote down in our constitution what it was that we were about. We chose to talk instead about peace, order and good government. And, you see, I think those phrases actually summarize, in a shorthand way, some slightly different angles on what is the purpose of government, how people fit into a larger society, and what we are trying to do together. Remember that America broke away through a violent revolution from the Crown and the United Kingdom - from Great Britain. Canadians never experienced that. In fact, people often talk about the 13 Colonies, forgetting that there were actually 16 colonies, 13 of whom rebelled and three of whom remained loyal to the Crown.” - Brian Lee Crowley https://rumble.com/v6t7l2t-the-difference-between-canada-and-america-brian-lee-crowley.html

"For Canada, the relationship with the United States is existential. For America, the relationship with Canada is convenient, nice, but not existential," says Brian Lee Crowley. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0510BrianLeeCrowley

Dr. Paul Marik told me they’re compiling a list of the best prophylactic protocols to prevent cancer: “The first most effective is green tea…because of its effect on cancer cells, but also the tumor microenvironment. …Then we have curcumin, which acts on multiple biological pathways. We then have vitamin D…There’s a very strong association between vitamin D deficiency and cancer. And then number four is omega three fatty acids. …Our basic protocol—we call it root four—are these four drugs. …They’re reasonably cheap. There are no side effects. So I think people over the age of 60, even if you're healthy, should consider taking these drugs, because it will significantly reduce your risk of developing cancer. Obviously, it won't completely eliminate it, but think how cost-effective this is, because we know the cost of treating a patient with cancer with conventional chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors runs into the millions of dollars.” 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0508DrPaulMarik

🚨Here's what a lot of people misunderstand about cancer treatment, says Dr. Paul Marik. "Cancer is not homogeneous. … If you get rid of the fast-dividing cells, which is the cancer, you're left with the stem cells, which then become the roots, which grow back to form the tumor" sometimes years later. Conventional chemotherapy gets rid of the fast-dividing regular cancer cells but *NOT* the cancer stem cells. So the key question is: how do you get rid of the cancer stem cells? “There are a number of repurposed drugs that do it, and this has been well-established in scientific medical literature. One of the most effective treatments to knock out the stem cell is the famous horse deworming medicine," says Dr. Paul Marik. Yes, ivermectin. https://rumble.com/v6t52qh-heres-what-a-lot-of-people-misunderstand-about-cancer-treatment-says-dr.-pa.html

Roughly 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Conventional chemotherapy doesn't always work. Are there simple interventions that you can do to lower your risk of getting cancer? Dr. Paul Marik weighs in. 🔴 PREMIERE 5/8 at 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0508DrPaulMarik

The DOJ is investigating jurisdictions that consider the race of the offender in sentencing and plea deals, says asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon. “The United States Constitution bars that. Equal Protection Clause bars that…And the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that there are almost no instances in which it is appropriate to use race in government outcomes at all.” She’s opened an investigation into Hennepin County for “illegal race-based discrimination." "We have heard very troubling incidents of very lenient-on-crime plea agreements that appear to be racially motivated. And what I've also heard is that this sub rosa policy is happening in other jurisdictions as well. …There are some dark episodes in our country, and that's what occasioned the civil rights movement. But turning that around on the other side doesn't correct the sins of the past. It simply perpetuates these wrongs against different people who don't deserve that.” 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0506HarmeetDhillon

🚨Asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon tells us that the DOJ is investigating gender transition procedures for minors and potential violations of federal laws: "Where there's a federal law or federal avenue, we're beginning to do some law enforcement. I won't tip our hand as to what we're doing, but people who are getting the letters, they know what we're investigating, and there'll be more to say about that in the future." "These kids become adults with long-standing regret suicide and irreversible damage to their bodies. So we in America need to wake up and understand that during COVID, where hospitals weren't able to do a lot of the things they wanted to do that make money—plastic surgery, what have you—everybody checked the box saying this gender-affirming care on this child is a medical necessity, fast-tracked to the front of the line. [It was a] money-making, revenue center for strapped medical professionals." https://rumble.com/v6t20pt-doj-is-investigating-gender-transition-procedures-for-minors-asst.-ag-harme.html
