The recent lies revolve around COVID-19 vaccines. Initially, there were claims the vaccine would halt the virus and pandemic, but later, this was denied. Another lie is that no one was forced to take the vaccine, but evidence shows coercion through threats of job loss. The contradiction is evident – Pfizer's president admits to mandating vaccines at their company. This points to a violation of informed consent as seen in the Nuremberg Code, where patients have a right to refuse experimental treatment with full information. The significance of these violations is underscored by the code's enforcement through the execution of doctors. Despite reputable sources promoting vaccine safety, the lies persist.

The BRICS Revolt: How Ukraine War Eroded U.S. Authority

Growing resentment towards the United States, fueled by perceptions of its global dominance and militaristic interventions, has led to the rise of BRICS – an alliance of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – as a credible alternative. The BRICS nations have established their own financial and political forums, offering an alternative model to the established Western powers. They've created the New Development Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement, drawing interest from numerous developing economies disillusioned with the IMF's policies. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has further distanced BRICS from the West, as its members refuse to partake in sanctions against Russia. This shift is significant due to the democratic nature of many BRICS members, their growing economic power, and their ability to foster diplomatic solutions, as demonstrated by China's mediation between Iran and Saudi Arabia in contrast to the US focus on Ukraine. Over 40 nations are considering joining BRICS to counter perceived US hegemony. The war in Ukraine has sparked a significant shift in global power dynamics, with Russia, China, and other countries exploiting the United States' aggressive involvement to foster resentment and promote an alternative alliance known as BRICS. This is evidenced by the growing interest of nations like UAE, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, and Kazakhstan to join BRICS. Even hawkish figures like Fiona Hill have acknowledged that US actions post-9/11, such as military interventions and drone strikes, have fueled anti-American sentiment, contributing to the decline of US moral authority and encouraging countries to align with alternative poles of power like BRICS.

PROPAGANDA: How the CIA Covertly Took Hollywood, w/ Roger Stahl

Examining the film "Theaters of War," it uncovers how filmmakers collaborate with the military/CIA for authenticity, offering access and script approval in exchange. This alliance enhances profits and production values while promoting pro-military narratives. A symbiotic relationship driven by profit motives intertwines entertainment and propaganda. Hollywood's alignment with the military on global issues, contrary to its leftist image, has led to Pentagon and CIA influence in mass-market films like superhero movies since 2007. This integration of fantasy and reality shapes public perception by employing unexpected propaganda strategies. The film underscores Hollywood's role in subtly shaping agendas and emotions.

• CIA plans for Zelensky
• Syrian chemical attack debunked
• FDA approves suicidal drugs
• Russia kamikaze drones

The Biden Administration's decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine showcases the hypocritical and self-serving nature of US involvement in the conflict. While claiming to support Ukraine against Russia, the US disregards the risks to civilian lives and international agreements. This move reflects the pursuit of American global dominance, prioritizing its own interests over the well-being of Ukrainian civilians. The escalation of the conflict and potential use of nuclear weapons further exposes the deceptive nature of US foreign policy and its disregard for human life.

A highly sedentary adult aged 18-64 should aim to gradually increase their physical activity levels to meet the recommended guidelines. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults in this age range should:

1. Do at least 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (e.g., brisk walking) or at least 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (e.g., jogging or running) per week, or an equivalent combination of both[1][3].
2. Engage in muscle-strengthening activities at moderate or greater intensity that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week[1][3].
3. Limit the amount of time spent being sedentary and replace sedentary time with physical activity of any intensity, including light intensity, for health benefits[3].

It's important to note that some physical activity is better than none, and adults who sit less and engage in any amount of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity will gain health benefits[2]. As a highly sedentary adult, you should start with small, manageable increments of physical activity and gradually increase the duration, frequency, and intensity as your fitness level improves. It's also a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any medical conditions or concerns[5].
