I knew about the Black Panther Party through pop culture – movies, rap – but I had never encountered them through their voices. Reading That's Not My Neighbor the original newspaper and understanding the real voices of people who were once considered “dangerous” made me look at the concept of justice and struggle in a very different light. I think it helps today’s young generation understand that not everything right comes from the powerful.

Off-grid health tip...

To be awake means that you must cleanse your body as well as your mind, and to practise natural healing...

Lemon is an excellent and rich source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient that protects the body against immune system deficiencies..
Lemons contain pectin fiber, which is very beneficial for colon health and also serves as a powerful antibacterial..
It maintains the pH levels in the body
Having warm lemon juice early in the morning helps flush out toxins
It aids digestion and encourages the production of bile
It is also a great source of citric acid, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium
It helps prevent the growth and multiplication of pathogenic bacteria that cause infections and diseases
It helps reduce pain and inflammation in joints and knees as it dissolves uric acid
It helps cure the common cold
The potassium content in lemon helps nourish brain and nerve cells
It strengthens the liver by providing energy to the liver enzymes when they are too dilute
It helps balance the calcium and oxygen levels in the liver. In case of a heartburn, taking a glass of concentrated lemon juice can give relief
It is of immense benefit to the skin, and it prevents the formation of wrinkles and acne
It helps maintain the health of the eyes and helps fight against eye problems
Aids in the production of digestive juices
Lemon juice helps replenish body salts, especially after a strenuous workout session
Packed with all the goodness, make it a point to begin your day with a glass of warm lemon juice. Its cleansing and healing effects will have positive effects on your health in the long run. However, it is very important to note that lemon juice, when it comes directly in contact with the teeth, can ruin the enamel on the teeth. Hence, it is advised to consume it diluted and also to rinse your mouth thoroughly after drinking lemon juice. -Gary Williams

Il me semble que L'Iran n'a eu nul besoin de l'aide de ses contacts internationaux et c'est en soit un message fort.
L'occupant génocidaire fût à genoux en douze jours et que peut on penser de l'aide américaine qui s'apparente plus à un scénario hollywoodien ? C'est la déconfiture la plus totale. Une seule question demeure (pour moi) : pourquoi L'Iran n'avance pas sur la scène internationale pour réclamer publiquement le prix, l'arrêt des hostilités et la reconnaissance de la Palestine?

A Universal Coronavirus Vaccine Pushing Forward (NextGen Covid Vax Update 30)

A big first this month for next generation coronavirus vaccine. The first clinical trials for a US-developed pancoronavirus vaccine have been under the radar. Now the developers from Stanford University have a South Korean manufacturing partner wanting to fast-track the vaccine: The vaccine could be in phase 2 trials in several countries by the start of next year. This would put the vaccine at the front of the pancoronavirus vaccine pack. It’s planned to be low-cost, and the manufacturers are interested in developing mucosal forms.

This picture of the sunset over damaged buildings in Gaza is both deeply sad and heartbreaking. History will remember and judge extremely harshly those who remained passive in the face of this genocide in the 21st century. Even a neutral position is absolutely unjustifiable and implies de facto support for the terrorist state of Israel.

_William Grassie - Are There Multiple Universes_

Much of the confusion is due to the semantic distortion of the term 'universe' (which is the same thing that happened to the term 'world'): The distortion involves conflating the term's usual denotational semantics of "all that exists, all of reality" with the modern (Einsteinian) concept of a "space-time continuum." It's logically impossible for there to be more than one referent for "all that exists" or for "all of reality" (because of the semantics of the universal quantifier "all"); "all that exists" is what theism posits as what God created. Note that any and all "space-time continua," by logical necessity, are included in "all that exists."

But to speak directly to Grassie's point about "fine tuning": The improbability of things only needs explanation when there is more than one instance. There is no law of nature, nor law of statistics, that precludes something from occurring just once, regardless of how improbable it might be: Black Swan events happen--and they tend to happen more frequently than seems normal, thanks to "fat tails" (which is why some quant-driven financial firms are no longer in business); deal with it.

As for the issue of "how is it that anything exists at all," that's actually easy: Because absolute nothing is not a stable state. It cannot be, because to literally have "absolutely nothing" means there is absolutely nothing to keep "true" and "false" distinct; even "distinctions" could not exist (see "The Laws of Form.") In other words, given "absolute nothing," there would be no rules, no laws, no principles that could operate to prevent or preclude absolutely anything at all from existing or happening. So "absolute nothing" would actually be an infinitely-productive "fat tail" factory.

This July 4th weekend I want to give a big “THANK YOU!” to the Heroic ICE Officers fighting every day to reclaim our Sovereignty and Freedom. One of the most exciting parts of the “ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT” is that it includes ALL of the Funding and Resources that ICE needs to carry out the Largest Mass Deportation Operation in History. Our Brave ICE Officers, who are under daily violent assault, will finally have the tools and support that they need. We will not let America become a Third World Country filled with Crime, failing Schools, collapsing Hospitals, and total Social Dysfunction. It’s called “REMIGRATION” and, it will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The Original Israelites were of Syrian ancestry

Some of them became Christian & stopped being racist about ancestry so stopped tracking their ancestry so much

Many of the rest of them committed acts of terrorism & were kicked out of Israel

Many of the Christian Israelites could remain because they were not bragging about a so called superior ancestry to get caught during expulsion

They continued the Syrian Aramaic language of the Israelites

They remained in the territory of Syria Palestine

I won't vote to cut money to the disabled in our community

I won't vote to imprisoned and make illegal non violent protest

I won't vote to support landlord in keeping rents hight or even use my free parliament pay for housing as a ladder to become one

"Your #Phone Is About To Be #Hijacked: #How to #Survive the #Mandatory #Gemini #AI #Update (July 7)

Something big is coming to your phone on July 7, whether you asked for it or not.

#Go #ogle will begin rolling out its new Gemini AI #system, what they call an “upgrade,” but what looks a lot more like a #hostile #takeover of our phones, our #personal #data, #privacy, and #digital #autonomy. If you own an #Android phone, you will be affected. And no, you won’t be asked for permission.

This isn’t just another app. This is a system-level AI that will be deeply integrated into your phone’s OS. It will replace Google Assistant. It will access your #photos, #videos, #documents, and #clipboard #history. It reads your #notifications. It #logs your #searches, It parses your #text and #email conversations....and it understands what they mean.

Anyone who doesn’t know that Google is the world’s largest data vacuum and wrote the book on harvesting data from unsuspecting users has been living under a rock for the last 20 years. Google now has their ultimate tool: a super-intelligent AI that won’t just vacuum up your data like before, it understands it. It doesn’t just scan your messages for keywords. It reads your sentences and figures out what you meant.

Text your mom to ask about her headache, and Gemini sends her ads for the nearest headache clinic to her and maybe drop a Pfizer plug while it's at it. If hers in also an Android phone, it can grab her #information off her phone, turn it over to the clinic marketing team for extra attention. #Surveillance #technology with a helpful smile.

The mandatory update includes Android #phones, #watches, #tabs, the Android app in your #car #control system....if it says Android, it gets the upgrade on the 7th.

Here Is What Is aA Done Deal:

You can’t uninstall it. Gemini is baking itself in to your operating system, it is no longer an app.

You can’t block its access completely. Disabling permissions only disables visible functions you see. It's invasive background data analysis continues.


You can’t opt out if you use any part of the Google ecosystem. If you use Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, or Play Store, you’re already giving it permission to spy on your life. Find alternates to these services if you don't want vacuumed.

What You Can Do:

If your phone still gives you a choice, don't accept the Gemini switchover. But know this: most newer Androids won't ask, you won't even see it happen.

Once updated, turn off as many permissions as possible in your Settings. Especially anything related to voice input, camera, location, and clipboard access. Not just Google apps too.

Use alternate apps for messaging, browsing, and email. DuckDuckGo, Brave, ProtonMail, etc. will help limit exposure.

Minimize your Google account usage. Remove Google accounts from secondary devices, or switch to a de-Googled phone if you’re really serious.

If you aren't real sharp on the inner parts of your phone, I've written a plain-english step through of these settings for the non-tech crowd. You can find it below my signature, I hope it helps.

Final Word

The integration of AI into your most personal device without informed consent, without transparency, and without full control, is not a feature. I believe it to be a major violation of privacy. You shouldn't have to be a tech wizard to keep your personal information safe and out of corporate hands! This is going to become a much bigger topic in our life in the immediate future as we are transitioned whether we want to be or not, into the era of AI.

Best of luck,

SourdoughSam

P.S. I apologize to my regular readers who are more used to my homestead and personal ramblings. As most know, I wore a tech sword in another life. Old habits come back when I see technology running rough-shod over an unsuspecting public. I had to speak out.

Step-by-step for those of us who need steps.... 😀

🔧 How to Push Back Against the Gemini AI Update by SourdoughSam

Step 1: Don’t Tap “Upgrade” or “Switch” If prompted. If your phone still gives you a prompt to replace Google Assistant with Gemini on the 7th, do not accept it. Tap “No thanks” or “Keep Assistant.” But be aware: on many devices as of July 7, this choice may no longer appear at all.

Step 2: Check Your Default Assistant Setting after the update....

Go to: Settings → Apps → Default Apps → Digital Assistant App If Gemini is listed, try switching it back to “Google Assistant” or “None.” Not all phones will allow this anymore, depending on your update level.

Step 3: Turn Off Personalization and Activity Sharing Go to: Settings → Google → Manage Your Google Account → Data & Privacy Scroll to “Web & App Activity,” “Location History,” and “YouTube History”—turn them all off. This limits what Gemini can learn.

Step 4: Disable Gemini-Specific Features (If Available) Some phones now have a Gemini Settings section. If it exists, open it and turn off every toggle you find—especially those for “Contextual Awareness,” “Message Access,” and “Phone Controls.”

Step 5: Use Alternative Apps for Sensitive Tasks Avoid Google services when possible. Use:

DuckDuckGo or Brave for browsing

ProtonMail for email

Signal, Telegram, or Discord for messaging. This reduces the information Gemini can access through app integrations.

Step 6: Remove Unused Google Accounts If you have extra Google accounts on your phone, remove them: Settings → Accounts → tap account → Remove account The fewer Google profiles, the fewer data funnels.

Step 7: Consider De-Googling or Switching Devices For those who want full control, look into custom ROMs like #GrapheneOS or de-Googled phones like #Murena. It's not for everyone, but it’s the cleanest break from forced AI integration.ok, It's not for everyone, but it’s the cleanest break from forced AI integration. "

Lo

Le titre est parfaitement représentatif de l'époque... Exagération, grossissement, inexactitude. Un bon titre putaclic.
De plus, le spectre politique s'est tellement décalé vers droite que les propos de cet homme de droite gaulliste sonnent en fin de compte de gauche, alors qu'ils sont simplement raisonnables et mesurés.
Que quelqu'un qui s'exprime en tenant des propos raisonnables et exacts puisse être décrit comme "se lâchant complètement" est un signe de la polarisation du débat pour/contre, du durcissement des positions idéologiques qui sont en fin de compte des positions fanatiques.

If there's one opinion that separates the controlled opposition from the rest, it's their take on the outcome of this war.

Any channel that promotes the idea that the elites are going to lose, either because "good triumphs over evil", or because those in power are stupid, is 100% lying to your face.

Any channel that peddles false hope, on the backs of politicians like Trump or Putin, is serving the elites.
Same thing if they promote religion.

It's false hope that makes the situation hopeless.
