All forms of genuine animal meat are going to be disappearing in the next few years, if Trump and the other technocrats have their way, starting with beef. Trump is speedrunning the Sustainable Development Goals of the WEF without admitting it. He is working overtime to destroy farmers, ranchers, and traditional meat providers.

In anticipation of this, food corporations are going to position snacks as the main source of protein. Think of “protein powder”, “protein shakes”, and “protein bars” that nobody has a problem with. Veggie burgers and imitation meat has been a complete and total failure, so they are going to pivot to protein-infused junk food instead.

I came across this corporate food scientist warning that this is happening, and how the “protein” they are using for products is “incomplete”, with only a few of the full range of amino acid the human body needs. The FDA allows them to advertise that their junk food is an “excellent source of protein” while not actually being healthy. https://winterchristian.substack.com/p/food-companies-gear-up-for-a-meat

The Spanish flu was a myth.

Here’s why.

In the photo: Vasyl Glazkov in Linz, Austria, on June 1, 1987, attending the annual commemoration of the Cossack victims who were handed over by the British to the Bolsheviks in 1945.
The Don Cossack Vasyl Glazkov was a leader and organizer of the KNOD (Cossack National Liberation Movement), which advocated the establishment of an independent Cossack state. The movement developed primarily in Czechoslovakia, where a large community of émigré Don Cossacks had settled and established themselves.
Among them were Don Cossacks, including Colonel of the UNR Army Mykhailo Frolov, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, as well as Kuban, Don, and Terek Cossacks who had served in the Cossack Division of the UNR Army.
The KNOD advocated a close alliance with Ukrainians. Glazkov himself actively maintained contacts with General Mykhailo Omelyanovych-Pavlenko, Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi, and Colonel Ivan Poltavets-Ostryanytsia.
During World War II, Glazkov actively contributed to the formation of Cossack units within the Wehrmacht. He consistently opposed any cooperation with, or incorporation of Cossack formations into, General A. A. Vlasov's KONR. Instead, he favored an alliance between the Cossack formations and the Ukrainian National Army (UNA) under General Pavlo Shandruk.
General Pavlo Shandruk, commander of the UNA in 1945, later wrote about Glazkov in his book Arms of Valor:

“A well-known leader of the Don independence movement, an energetic opponent of the KONR, engineer V. Glazkov, was very pleased with the prospects of political cooperation with our Ukrainian brothers at our first meeting. He believed that the situation could change for the better for us, because all nations enslaved by Moscow would now have significant military forces on the side of Moscow’s enemy, and that these forces would play a decisive role in liberating their peoples.”

After the war, Glazkov spent some time imprisoned by the Western Allies in the Dachau camp. Despite his extensive KNOD network and numerous connections, he was eventually released. He later settled in the United States, where he worked with the CIA.

The exodus Israel cannot afford

New Israeli data shows that citizens heading for the exits increasingly include the doctors, engineers, tech workers, and high-income taxpayers on whom the occupation state’s war economy depends.
