Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil; to volunteer, red-pill and encourage; and to pray and give thanks to God, who fights for us.
Excerpt of Q4542
"It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard. What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States, and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy? Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is: an infernal deception."
+ Carlo Maria Viganò
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Those who attack you.

Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Weighing the high cost of obesity reduction drugs
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-03-high-obesity-reduction-drugs.html
Excerpt:
Findings suggest that reducing the net prices of new antiobesity medications is necessary to improve accessibility.
Obesity affects more than 40% of U.S. adults and is associated with significant health and economic burdens. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as semaglutide and tirzepatide have demonstrated effectiveness in promoting weight loss and reducing cardiometabolic risks. Increased demand has resulted in supply shortages, while high costs have prompted restrictive insurance coverage policies.
Previous studies evaluating the economic value of these medications have produced conflicting results. Some analyses identified semaglutide as cost-effective compared to no treatment, whereas others concluded that tirzepatide and semaglutide were not cost-effective relative to lifestyle modification alone.
Inconsistencies in prior findings stemmed in part from reliance on clinical trial populations and pricing estimates rather than real-world data.
.....Data from the 2017–2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used, comprising 4,823 individuals aged 20 to 79 years, representing approximately 126 million eligible U.S. adults.
Participants met clinical trial criteria for antiobesity medications based on body mass index (BMI) and the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity. Researchers applied individual-level simulations with probabilistic sensitivity analyses and subgroup assessments to account for BMI classifications, presence of comorbidities, and treatment discontinuation rates.
Each intervention included either lifestyle modification alone or lifestyle modification combined with one of four medications: naltrexone-bupropion, phentermine-topiramate, semaglutide, or tirzepatide. Lifestyle modification consisted of dietary changes and physical activity.
.....Tirzepatide prevented 45,609 cases of obesity per 100,000 individuals, the highest reduction among all interventions. Diabetes cases decreased by 20,854 per 100,000 individuals, while cardiovascular disease cases declined by 10,655 per 100,000 individuals.
Semaglutide showed a lower, yet significant, impact, preventing 32,087 obesity cases, 19,211 diabetes cases, and 8,263 cardiovascular disease cases per 100,000 individuals. Life-years and QALYs gained were highest for tirzepatide (0.50 life-years, 0.35 QALYs) and semaglutide (0.35 life-years, 0.25 QALYs).
Cost-effectiveness evaluations determined that naltrexone-bupropion was cost-saving, with an 89.1% probability of being cost-effective at the $100,000/QALY threshold. Phentermine-topiramate demonstrated a 23.5% probability of cost-effectiveness at the same benchmark.
Tirzepatide and semaglutide were deemed not cost-effective at current pricing, with incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of $197,023/QALY and $467,676/QALY, respectively. To achieve cost-effectiveness under the $100,000/QALY standard, price reductions of 30.5% for tirzepatide and 81.9% for semaglutide would be required.
Subgroup analyses indicated greater QALY gains among individuals with pre-existing comorbidities, suggesting that antiobesity medications may provide the most value for those at higher health risk. Sensitivity analyses reinforced the findings, with probabilistic simulations showing that tirzepatide and semaglutide remained economically inefficient across all cost-effectiveness thresholds examined.
*************
Pushing the diabetes drugs as a solution to obesity using vague terminology and small data defined as real world. Doesn’t even mention the serious side effects of each drug which would effect quality of life measurement they try to use. FDA has approved the drugs for obesity as well as diabetes. Using 4,800 people over 4 years to extrapolate out for 128 million people games drug companies, medical research and the FDA play. Is a Phen-fen disaster lurking in the future?

Look at the background around Roberts head.
There’s a difference between it and the areas around the other guys’ heads.
Looks like Roberts was photoshopped in.
Who posted that picture originally?
Is it a ploy to divert attention from what Roberts did to adopt his kids, or some other dirt that exists on him?
Or is it misinformation spread to get our side to bite, then they debunk it and our side is discredited?
I do not know... I remember the photo from long ago but “Roberts” wasn’t in it; when I posted this one from someone else’s link, I figure the other photo might be cropped. Sorry I posted it.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we will not sit idly by as conservative new media and their families are being targeted by false swatting. @DHSgov has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. We will use it to hunt these cowards down.
This is an attack on our law enforcement and innocent families and we will prosecute it as such.— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) March 19, 2025
