Alzheimer’s is a looming global pandemic, with the number of sufferers set to triple by 2050 to 152 million.”- WHY????
I have my theories but would like to hear from anyone that cares to share their own. My father had Alzheimer's and I cared for him for 4 years before he died from an aneurysm that passed through his heart and killed him. This is one of the most evil diseases I have ever seen. I do not believe it is just this disease that is inevitable because humans are living longer. I first heard of the disease in 1988. The gentleman that had is was in his 50's. It attacked my father in his mid 60's. Those are not ages I consider to be old. What have they done to cause this? I will never believe this is a natural occurring disease but I do believe this can be stopped by us. The people of the world have to demand that the cause of Alzheimers be investigated in the same way that some are investigating Covid. It is "supposedly" inherited through dna but none of my father's family had it before him.
I enjoyed the video as well but have to say it made me think of trying to get average people to absorb the information they will need to in order to wake up. It's exasperating to try to convince people that they have to attempt to inform themselves. One of my friends told me this week that trying to understand wtf is happening in the world overwhelms his mind to the point that it literally making him insane and he has to unplug a get away to stay sane. This is a born and raised calf roping, tractor driving country boy who is also very intelligent. He has a full time job with Green Bay Packaging but also runs a cattle farm which requires a lot of his time and attention. How can someone with maybe 2 hours a day of free time before bedtime going to have the time to get online and do the research like most of us here do. The problem that I can see with helping people get to the right information or have access to the information is TIME. They (we) have depended on the news not because they are too lazy to do the research but because they do not have the TIME to invest in order to get that info.

“It’s going to get a little bit tight in terms of, well, are mom or dad being honest that Johnny did or did not get vaccinated,” Biden said. “That’s going to raise questions.”
He said he hopes the community will help hold parents accountable for vaccinations.
“Everybody knows in a community whether or not Johnny really did get the vaccination when he’s 15 or 17 years old,” Biden said. “It’s a matter of community responsibility.

As I understand it, Pegasus is smart phone malware sold by an Israeli government contracting firm that allowed the users to completely monitor smart phones that they targeted with the malware. This malware was not supposed to be available on the scale it was made available through sales.
So, if someone prominent has skeletons in their closet that their smart phone was part of ... they may be sweating bullets.
Cheers
A story in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz even talks of “NSO diplomacy,” suggesting that Pegasus has become Israel’s equivalent of France’s Rafale fighter aircraft – a flagship of its industry. The newspaper reported that visits by former Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to Hungary, Rwanda, Mexico and Azerbaijan were followed in each case a few months later by the acquisition of NSO Group licences.
