In this week’s episode, we continue our discussion of the Los Angeles Fires, sharing stories, analysis, and an apology from the owner of the LA Times, a publication which endorsed Karen Bass, LA’s current mayor. Even if diversity and inclusion have value, we need skill and experience more. Then: a new molecular technique reveals the extent to which mRNA shots move around the body and trigger the immune system to destroy transfected cells; this provides strong support for Bret’s years-old hypothesis that myocarditis and pericarditis are the result of T cell mediated destruction of cardiomyocytes. Finally: dung beetles, in life and in art. Who makes dung balls, who rolls dung balls, and why is it such a popular activity?

Forrest Maready is the author of “The Moth in the Iron Lung”, among other books. It tells a very different story of the Polio epidemic than the one you are likely familiar with, a story with radically different implications for health and medicine. Bret talks with Forest about his book and his interpretation of the evidence with an evolutionary bent to the conversation.

In September of 2023, Bret issued a challenge to Vaccine proponents to explain why he was wrong about the danger from the Covid mRNA transfusions within this podcast: https://youtu.be/7C7Q9UF3PRE
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Dan Wilson gathered 3 experts to answer Bret’s challenge in this video: https://youtu.be/OUiM3sQuswE?si=ZFoLpyauXrtaFi7K
This podcast with Joomi Kim and Bret Swanson is the response to Dan’s video.
Bret Swanson put together an excellent slide deck to accompany this podcast, find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5vaooui2r15zayv1kl2ye/2024-3-23-Dan-Wilson-Response-Slide-Deck.pdf?rlkey=3t5uizv3e0gep2q3vydouwtl7&dl=0

RFK’s address to HHS staff is worth watching. Especially minute 16 to 17. he talks about the importance of starting with a clean slate and being willing to be wrong in order to make forward progress. It’s something each, and every person needs to be able to do.
Has anyone read The Natron Theory by Marcell Fóti? He proposes that the ancient Egyptians cast the massive stone blocks used in the pyramids rather than carving and transporting them. According to his theory ahem hypothesis, they used Natron—a naturally occurring salt from the Wadi Natrun salt flats—to create an early form of geopolymer stone.
Fóti also suggests that any early civilization that discovered fire would inevitably stumble upon the process of creating stone. The byproducts of fire, such as wood ash and potash, may have played a crucial role in ancient stone-making techniques. When mixed with rainwater, these alkaline substances form a highly caustic solution capable of breaking down minerals in surrounding soil or rock. Over time, this reaction could have led to the discovery of how to dissolve, reconstitute, and harden materials into stone-like forms. Such a process might explain how so many ancient cultures were able to construct massive stone monuments—such as Machu ...
