Roman Triumphs

The Romans used to have these so-called “triumphs,” granted by the Senate, where a celebrated person, usually a recently successful general, would lead a procession on a chariot through the streets of Rome to the Forum. The entire city would turn out for these occasions in celebration — think a Saint Patrick’s Day parade on steroids.

Accompanying the celebrated person would be an inconspicuous individual directly behind him on the chariot, whispering into his ear the refrain, “You are NOT a god.”

Anti-Russia Policy

Anti-Russia Policy

The anti-Russia policy of the US government has been a disaster, and what we are encouraging in Ukraine has pretty much destroyed that country — the fault not of Russia, but of NATO’s aggressive expansion eastward, encouraged by the US.

With respect to Ukraine, Russia had no choice but to protect their “sphere of Influence” against this NATO aggressive expansion. That’s what great powers do. That’s what the US did in the Cuban Missile Crisis; that’s what the Russians are doing in Ukraine.

Lifelong Health

If one were to commit to an 18:6 intermittent fasting regime early in life, one would no doubt live a long life at a healthy weight and avoid heart disease, diabetes, and other major illnesses. The 18-hour fasting period would provide daily ketosis of 6 hours to consistently reduce body fat, so weight gain would no longer be an issue, and so all the major diseases associated with excessive weight gain would just go away.

An 18:6 intermittent fasting regime combined with avoidance of processed foods — those two elements would almost guarantee a long and healthy life.
