The East and the West are both collaborating in an effort to impose the Great Reset -- but each side’s different interpretation of the Great Reset and their incompatibility eventually will tear them apart. These differences fall into four categories: (1) environment, (2) food production and delivery, (3) global currency, and (4) global governance. The EnvironmentThe West’s vision is wrapped in the Green New Deal (GND). The GND is intended not to protect the earth, but is key to reduce global population and to pay off President Biden's debt to China. China, which will be the source for electric vehicle...

The trouble in Arizona's ballot-count and electoral integrity issues can be found in three distinctive areas... It appears that Democrat candidates won most of the Arizona midterm political contests, and that is a fact we should all accept. However, many citizens have doubts about whether it was fairly counted, and those doubts will not be resolved without analysis, testing, and transparent reporting. Standard ballot recounts will not suffice. Therefore, Kari Lake, Blake Masters, and Mark Finchem, three contending Republicans who lost their elections despite polls favoring them, should consider taking the following actions, to the extent feasible and lawful: 1....

WASHINGTON - President Biden ignored a reporter’s question Thursday about whether he had a message for protesters challenging China’s authoritarian government - while first son Hunter Biden reportedly still co-owns a Chinese state-backed investment fund. NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked Biden at the end of a White House press conference with visiting French President Emmanuel Macron if he would share a message with demonstrators calling for an end to China’s COVID-19 lockdowns and, in some instances, the resignation of “president for life” Xi Jinping. “Sir, do you have a message to protesters in China? You spoke about [recent protests in]...

The Secret Service has located hundreds of pages of records tied to the investigation of a gun belonging to Hunter Biden – despite having denied they existed, a government watchdog group said Thursday. Judicial Watch is investigating whether the Secret Service intervened on behalf of President Biden’s son after the incident, and it has sued the agency for all materials related to the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of the firearm owned by Hunter Biden. The group has accused the Secret Service of repeatedly changing its position on whether it has any documents related to the investigation. “The Secret Service’s...

Giving patients excess levels of oxygen during surgery is associated with a higher risk of subsequent kidney, heart, and lung injury, finds a large U.S. study. Although the absolute risk remains low, this study suggests it is time to reconsider the liberal use of oxygen during general anesthesia, say experts in a linked editorial. Oxygen is routinely given to almost all patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia to help prevent hypoxia (dangerously low oxygen levels), and the World Health Organization recommends liberal use of oxygen to reduce the risk of infection. During surgery, arterial blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) is...

New York, NY (November 30, 2022) Past social trauma is encoded by a population of stress/threat-responsive brain cells that become hyperactivated during subsequent interaction with non-threatening social targets. As a consequence, previously rewarding social targets are now perceived as social threats, which promotes generalized social avoidance and impaired social reward processing that can contribute to psychiatric disorders, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Brain and Body Research Center at Mount Sinai and published November 30 in Nature. In humans, studies have shown that social trauma impairs brain reward function to the extent that social interaction is no...

A pilot, "look-back" study of information about 106 patients with "wet" age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has revealed that nearly half of patients treated with aflibercept could safely stop eye injection therapy after one year without further vision loss. Only 17% of patients taking another commonly used wet AMD therapy, bevacizumab, were able to safely wean from the drug at a year. The findings build on evidence from a previous study that found potentially a third of patients with wet AMD could safely pause therapy after one year of monitoring by a physician. "Our results suggest that many patients with macular...
