	I need somebody, not just anybody.
	You know I need someone.
	When I was younger, so much younger than today.
	I never needed anybody's help in any way.
	But now these days are gone and I'm not so self-assured.
	Now I find the genuine, I open up the doors.
	Help me if you can, I'm feeling down.
	I like to appreciate you being around.
	Help me get my feet back on the ground.
	Won't you please help me?
	Well this is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Raw Deal.
	This 14th day of February 2024, Valentine's Day.
	Give thought to taking out your significant other, your partner in life, some kind of enjoyable experience together, perhaps at dinner, what have you, movie, your choice.
	Just appreciate them and all they mean in your life.
	Today, I'm very Pleased that I'll be joined at the bottom of the hour by Sophia, who has news to report about research she has been conducting.
	In the meanwhile, here's an update on the latest.
	Last night, the House voted by the narrowest of margin to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas.
	Here's a report a day before of what was forthcoming that covers the basis.
	A House of Representatives is probably going to hold a second impeachment vote tomorrow for Mr. Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, who says the Biden administration is not responsible for the crisis at the border.
	Madeline Rivera is in Washington with the latest comments from the DHS Secretary.
	Madeline, good morning.
	Good morning, Steve.
	House Republican efforts to oust Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed last week by one vote, but House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who's being treated for blood cancer, is expected to be back on Capitol Hill this week, and that could give the GOP the bump it needs to impeach Mayorkas.
	Mayorkas calls Republican allegations that he defied federal immigration laws as baseless.
	He also says he and President Biden are not to blame for the record-breaking number of illegal crossings at the southern border.
	Listen.
	It certainly is a crisis and we don't bear responsibility for a broken system and we're doing a tremendous amount within that broken system but fundamentally Fundamentally, Congress is the only one who can fix it.
	There is no question that we have a challenge, a crisis at the border, and there is no question that Congress needs to fix it, and we're doing everything we can within that broken system.
	Even if House Republicans impeach Mayorkas, the Democratic-controlled Senate would likely acquit him.
	Ryan.
	So it's going to be very interesting.
	It looks like Scalise reports they could get that impeachment done.
	I'm Steve Doocy.
	I'm Brian Kilmeade.
	Meanwhile, yes, last night just in, GOP-led House impeaches Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
	The GOP-led House has voted to impeach Mayorkas.
	He's the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years.
	The vote tally was 2-14 to 2-13.
	One vote.
	Three Republicans voted with Democrats against the measure.
	This comes after House Republicans failed to impeach Mayorkas in a vote last week.
	The absence of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and the surprise attendance by Texas Democrat Al Green, who had just had surgery and was wheeled into the chamber to vote, Denied Republicans what they needed to pass when it had come up before.
	House Republicans claim Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors for his handling of the southern border, even though several constitutional experts have said the evidence does not reach that high bar.
	I don't see how they can deny it.
	We have as many as six million illegals.
	The kind of fix Mayorga was talking about was one that legalized illegal immigration.
	It's a farce.
	This man is as great a traitor to the United States as any in our history, in my judgment.
	The impeachment effort comes as South Republicans have faced building pressure to hold the Biden admin accountable on a key campaign issue, the border.
	What happens next?
	It's highly unlikely Mayorkas will be charged, meaning convicted, in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
	He has already been charged.
	Now it's the responsibility of the Senate to conduct a trial.
	Indeed, Senate Democrats are weighing how to respond to the impeachment.
	Move ahead with a trial or move to dismiss it quickly, given their view it's blatantly political, because a trial would reveal so much dirty laundry regarding the borders, so damaging politically to the Biden admin and any prospects the Democrats may have for 2024, I predict they're going to dismiss it, given their view it's blatantly political.
	Here are the three Republicans who voted against the Mayorkas impeachment.
	Ken Buck of Colorado, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Tom McClintock of California.
	Why they may have voted as they did against impeachment, I do not at present know.
	Meanwhile, Biden blasts Republicans for impeaching Mayorkas.
	President Joe Biden slammed a vote by Republican lawmakers to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
	The vote was, quote, a blatant act of unconstitutional partnership, end quote, called on Congress to pass legislation to address the situation at the border.
	The laws are already on the books, buddy.
	Check it out.
	You have the constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws Which are already on the book.
	This impeachment already failed once on a bipartisan vote instead of staging political stunts like this.
	Republicans with genuine concerns about the border should want Congress to deliver more border resources and stronger border security, he said in a statement Tuesday evening.
	Meanwhile, Earlier reports.
	After Biden finally admitted there's a border crisis, you won't believe upon whom he blamed it.
	The United States has been exposed to a monumental crisis affecting citizens all across the land.
	From small towns along the southern border to major cities, the crisis is hurting this nation's citizens.
	For years, the current president and his appointed lackeys ...have not only allowed but encouraged this harm on the nation.
	Government leaders have lied to Congress about the border being secure, even while allowing millions of illegals to flow across with abandon as the 2024 election gains steam.
	Biden and his team came up with a brilliant way to handle being called out for the border crisis they created.
	Biden pointed his finger at the citizens who pointed out the problem for years and blaming them for the crisis from Breitbart.
	President Joe Biden blamed former President Donald Trump and mega Republicans for the broken border system and his administration's expected failure to convince Congress to pass a $118 billion bill.
	That would allot $20 billion for border security, but $60 billion for Ukraine.
	And as I mentioned, that $20 billion for border security includes legalizing illegal immigration.
	Democrats are going to spend a happy bill, a border security bill, that gives billions more to fund projects.
	War-mongering political allies want to promote both Israel and Ukraine.
	Border security won't be the highest priority with this bill.
	Biden, knowing it's in serious trouble, goes public with a speech to blame his political opponents for not getting the money he wants.
	Now, all indications are this bill won't even move forward to the Senate floor.
	Why?
	A simple reason.
	Donald Trump, Biden said during a public address earlier this week.
	He claimed to know what Trump thinks.
	St.
	Nabil is bad very politically.
	But of course, Trump was completely or virtually completely successful in securing the border.
	It was a mere trickle at the time.
	Now it's become a gargantuan flood, a veritable flood.
	Biden continued his blame game, saying Trump's responsible for the record level of illegal immigrants streaming through the border.
	Biden conveniently left out the fact his own policies and lack of enforcement of law created the crisis that erupted during his tenure.
	Meanwhile, migrants are telling a journalist in Colorado they intend to vote for Biden.
	Illegal immigrants appear to be under the impression they'll be allowed to vote in the 2024 election and say Joe Biden is their man.
	Independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley spoke to asylum seekers in Denver on Monday about the upcoming election.
	When asked whether he thinks asylum seekers have the right to vote, one migrant replied, those that entered legally have access to vote, while some municipalities allow non-citizens to vote at the local level.
	Federal law does not allow non-citizens to vote in national elections.
	About the 8 million plus illegals Biden has allowed into the country is expected to be a years-long process.
	Multiple migrants, meanwhile, all told Shirley in Spanish they intend to vote for Joe.
	Who are you going to vote for?
	The reporter asked.
	Joe Biden, the woman replied.
	He's helping us here.
	I believe the majority are for Biden, the man said.
	He's the one helping us, Biden, another woman.
	Of course, Biden, another man explained.
	He likes supporting the migrants.
	He's a very good person.
	And Trump, Trump is a different thing.
	Over the weekend, Elon Musk accused the Biden regime of importing millions of migrants because it wants to create new Democrat voters before election day.
	Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas issued written guidance making it clear that illegal presence alone is not grounds for deportation.
	Criminal charges, convictions, or gang membership alone are not enough for deportation.
	You basically have to be a convicted axe murderer to be deported.
	And that's because every deportation is a lost vote.
	They are importing as many voters as possible before the election.
	Elon Musk, pretty savvy guy.
	Meanwhile, we have Joe responding to the finding of the special counsel on his classified Material mishandling and it's overwhelming and egregious.
	Check this out.
	As you know, the special counsel released this finding today about their look into my handling of classified documents.
	I was pleased to see he reached a firm conclusion that no charges should be brought against me in this case.
	This was an exhaustive investigation going back more than 40 years.
	Even in the 1970s when I was still a new United States Senator.
	The special counsel acknowledged I cooperated completely.
	I did not throw up any roadblocks.
	I sought no delays.
	In fact, I was so determined to give the Special Counsel what he needed, I went forward with a five-hour in-person, five-hour in-person interview over two days on October the 8th and 9th of last year, even though Israel had just been attacked by Hamas on the 7th and I was very occupied.
	I was in the middle of handling an international crisis.
	I was especially pleased to see Special Counsel make clear A stark distinction of difference between this case and Mr. Trump's case.
	The special counsel wrote, and I quote, several material distinctions between Mr. Trump's case and Mr. Biden's are clear.
	Continuing to quote, most notably, after giving multiple chances to return classified documents to avoid prosecution, Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite.
	According to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months, he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it.
	In contrast, went on to say Mr. Biden turned in classified documents to the National Archives and Department of Justice, consented to the search of multiple locations, including his home, sat for voluntary interview, and in other ways cooperated with the investigation, end of quote.
	I've seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents.
	These assertions are not only misleading, they're just plain wrong.
	On page 215—if you had a chance, I know it's a long, it's a thick document—on page 215, the report of the special counsel found the exact opposite.
	Here's what he wrote.
	There is in fact a shortage of evidence that I willfully retain classified materials related to Afghanistan.
	On page 12, the special counsel also wrote, for in other documents, the decision to decline criminal charges was straightforward.
	The evidence suggests that Mr. Biden did not willfully retain these documents.
	The evidence said I did not willfully retain these documents.
	In addition, I know there's some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events.
	There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died.
	How in the hell dare he raise that?
	Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business.
	Let me tell you something.
	Some of you have commented, I'm aware since the day he died, every single day, the rosary he got from Our Lady of... Every Memorial Day, we hold a service remembering him, attending by friends and family and the people who loved him.
	I don't need anyone.
	I don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away or passed away.
	Simple truth is I've sat for 500 years, over two days of events, going back 40 years.
	The same time I was managing an international crisis, their task was to make a decision about whether to move forward with charges in this case.
	That's their decision to make.
	That's a council's decision to make.
	That's his job.
	They decided not to move forward.
	For any extraneous commentary, they don't know what they're talking about.
	It has no place in this report.
	Bottom line is the matter is now closed.
	I'm going to continue what I've always focused on, my job of being President of the United States of America.
	Thank you, and I'll take some questions.
	President Biden, something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.
	I'm well-meaning, and I'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell I'm doing.
	I've been president, and I put this country back on its feet.
	I don't need his recommendation.
	How bad is your memory, and can you continue as president?
	My memory is so bad I can let you speak.
	My memory has gotten worse, Mr. President.
	My memory is fine.
	Take a look at what I've done since I've become president.
	None of you thought I could pass any of the things I got passed.
	How'd that happen?
	You know, I guess I just forgot what was going on.
	Mr. President, voters have concerns about your age.
	How are you going to explain that?
	Do you feel that this report is only going to fuel further concerns about your age?
	Only by some of you.
	I don't have done any questions.
	We're a criminal liability today.
	Do you take responsibility for at least being careless with classified material?
	I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my staff was doing.
	It goes in and twice out.
	Things that appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, things that were moved, were moved not by me, but my staff.
	But my staff.
	Mr. President, for months when you were asked about your age, you would respond with the words, watch me.
	Well, many American people have been watching and they have expressed concerns about your age.
	That is your judgment.
	That is your judgment.
	That is not the judgment of the press.
	They express concerns about your mental acuity.
	They say that you are too old.
	Mr. President, in December you told me that you believe there are many other Democrats who could defeat Donald Trump.
	So why does it have to be you now?
	What is your answer on that question?
	Because I'm the most qualified person in this country to be President of the United States and finish the job I started.
	- I did not share classified information.
	I did not share.
	With your ghostwriter?
	With my ghostwriter, I did not.
	Guarantee you did not.
	But the special counsel said- No, I did not say that.
	Okay, but Mr. President- Let me answer your question.
	The fact of the matter is, what I didn't want repeated, I didn't want him to know, and I didn't read it to him, was I had written a long memorandum to President Obama, why we should not be in Afghanistan.
	And it was multiple pages.
	And so what I was referring to, I said classified, I should have said it should be private because it was a contact between the president and the vice president as to what was going on.
	That's what he's referring to.
	It was not classified information in that document.
	That was not classified.
	- - - He called on me.
	When you look back at this incident, is there anything you would do differently now?
	And do you think that a special prosecutor should have been appointed in the first place in both of these cases?
	First of all, what I would have done is oversee the transfer of the material that was in my office, in my offices.
	I should have done that.
	If I go back, I didn't have the responsibility of that, that was my staff was supposed to do that, and they referenced that in the report.
	And my staff did not do it in a way that, for example, I didn't know how half the boxes got in my garage until I found out staff gathered them up, put them together, and took them to the garage in my home.
	And all the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked.
	It was in my house.
	It wasn't out in like in Mar-a-Lago in a public place where and none of it was high classified.
	Didn't have any of that red stuff on.
	You know what I mean around the corners?
	None of that.
	And so I wish I had paid more attention to how the documents were being moved and where.
	I thought they were being moved to the archives.
	I thought all of us needed room.
	That's what I thought.
	And what was the last part of your question?
	I think a special counsel should have been appointed.
	And the reason I think a special counsel should have been appointed is because I did not want to be in a position that they looked at Trump and weren't going to look at me, just like they looked at the vice president.
	The fact is they made a firm conclusion.
	I did not break the law.
	Period.
	Thank you all very much.
	But of course he did break the law and he made at least three false claims here about the special counsel report.
	CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale explained at least three false claims.
	Biden said all the stuff in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked.
	But the reporter actually said we had boxes in his garage.
	He actually said that himself, boxes in his garage.
	So what he's claiming here about all this stuff being locked and all that is nonsense.
	I'd also said none of it was highly classified, didn't have that red stuff around the corner.
	Dale pointed out his claim that none of it was highly classified is also one true, that the president possessed multiple highly classified docs that were indeed marked as highly classified, some marked top secret, sensitive, compartmentalized information, which is a very high among the highest.
	So that was nonsense, too.
	Biden also claimed he didn't share classified information with his ghostwriter.
	But to quote Mr. Herr, the special counsel, Mr. Biden shared information, including some classified, from those notebooks with his ghostwriter.
	So it's there in black and white.
	But even worse, when Biden was talking about Trump, he made the false claim that Trump just had this stuff around loosely at Mar-a-Lago, when Trump actually had a secure vault That had been approved by the National Archives and by the FBI.
	None of this nonsense like Biden.
	Moreover, most importantly, Donald Trump, as President of the United States, had declassification authority.
	Joe Biden, as Vice President, did not.
	Biden was not entitled to declassify any documents or have possession of any of those documents in his home.
	Trump had a standing order.
	Any documents he took home were automatically declassified.
	The situation between Biden and Trump are completely the opposite.
	The idea of letting him off because he's a nice guy with a bad memory is pathetic.
	There's nothing in the law about the handling of classified information that has concerns and circumstances, the motives or the intent.
	You either handle it properly or you do not.
	And by the way, the latest polling shows that a major concern for American voters is at 81 years old, Joe Biden not having the necessary mental and physical health to be president for a second term, 62%.
	Of course, there's a concern about Trump facing the criminal and civil trials, 51%, but they are falling apart.
	E. Jean Carroll was such a farce, she couldn't even remember the year at which the event occurred, which meant Trump couldn't establish an alibi and should never have gone to trial.
	The Democrat legislature in New York even made an exception under the law because the statute of limitations had already expired on her claims.
	That was a farce.
	And down, of course, in Fulton, Georgia, Fannie Willis turns out to have been involved with her married lover making him the prosecutor, even though he has no background or qualification.
	The judge said that this may lead to her removal from the case, which I expect to happen.
	And with regard to the classified documents case for Trump, It's going before the Supreme Court.
	I believe it will turn out he has immunity.
	This is just insulting beyond belief.
	Not only that, here Mike King had a very interesting piece.
	Special Counsel report puts my age and memory in the spotlight.
	As an elderly man with a poor memory, he suggests a special counsel is declared.
	Yes, Biden broke the law when he was vice president, but he was already senile then, and his mind is really toast now, so we're not going to charge a poor old man.
	We'll return with Sophia right after this break.

	Well, as advertised, I'm very pleased to be joined today by Cynthia Smallstorm from California, Sophia, welcome to The Raw Deal.
	It's great to have you back.
	Thank you, Jim, and it's Valentine's Day.
	I hope you reminded your listeners of this little factoid, and I hope everybody's enjoying that and has a Valentine to connect with, right?
	Right off the bat, that was my very first greeting to my audience today, Sylvia.
	Their significant other, their partner in life, share this special day with them.
	I agree wholeheartedly.
	Yes, that would be great.
	Okay, well, you know, the second half of this show, I'm hoping to get through the last newsletter I released.
	Because it has, in the beginning, some shocking information that's going to make people kind of rethink what they're eating.
	And the second half is some even more interesting and shocking information that's not necessarily bad, but it's a whole new way of framing certain archaeological finds and the human body.
	Okay?
	Yes, yes, by all means, please do share what you have discovered.
	All right, Jim.
	So not to put you on the spot, but you can be evasive in your answer if you like, but so how often do you eat organic foods?
	You know, I can't estimate.
	Probably a relatively small percentage, maybe 10-15% of the time.
	All right, thank you.
	Okay, that's probably normal with people today, most people, if you look at everyone grouped together.
	But I was kind of interested.
	I started to do a little bit of poking around.
	I had heard that Costco, you know, this giant retailer, Costco, was, it's the third largest retailer in the world, but it's the biggest retailer of organic foods.
	Including other things like rotisserie chicken and wine and prime beef, you know?
	So I was thinking, alright, organic foods, Costco, wow!
	And I looked up their website, and sure enough, they sell a lot of organic food, but it's all stuff like applesauce in pouches?
	24 pouches for $12.99?
	Then you get, you know, Um, organic peanut butter in a giant 28 ounce jar.
	Then you get organic almond beverage.
	This is under the brand Kirkland, which might be proprietary to Costco, I'm not sure.
	Organic sugar.
	Go Go Squeeze organic applesauce.
	Organic lemonade, 96 fluid ounces.
	And I'm thinking, this isn't organic.
	This is prepared Derivative, pureed, blended, ingestibles, right?
	I won't even call it food.
	I picture organic, and maybe you do too, and maybe most people, mounds of fruits and vegetables, right?
	Right?
	Sure.
	Okay.
	Not this applesauce and peanut butter in a jar and lemonade So, these are what I call derivative processed foods.
	Now, the reason most people go to Costco apparently is value, and I am going to sidestep that for the moment, but I want to draw attention to the interview that Del Bigtree of The High Wire Show did with Zen Honeycutt, who is the organizer and the founder
	of a group called Moms Across America, and this interview was aired a couple of months ago, and I listened to it, and Jim, I eat a lot of organic food, produce, and raw materials that I make my own meals with, alright?
	I would say just about everything I eat is organic, and I didn't know this information that Zen delivered in this interview.
	I was left Horror stricken.
	So, first of all, the moms, which are simply an activist group, but they have gone to the length of having foods analyzed in a lab, and they started with school lunch foods.
	Now, I didn't know this, but the people who direct school lunch programs go to giant, you know, food conventions And there are booths there from fast food companies.
	And these school lunch directors taste, you know, corn dogs and stuff that the fast food companies make.
	And then those offerings are put on the school lunch menu for the children.
	All right?
	So these conferences are the resource from which school lunches are chosen And the school lunches, after the moms tested them, they were found to be extremely toxic, all right?
	Now they tested over 40, specifically 43 school lunch samples, because 40 is the statistic threshold for statistical significance that the EPA and the USDA have to pay attention to.
	So 95% of the school lunches that they tested samples were positive for glyphosate.
	Do you know what glyphosate is, Jim?
	I know it's very, very bad for you, Sophia.
	It's not antifreeze, is it?
	Almost as bad, alright?
	So, glyphosate's contribution to Earth began as an industrial chemical.
	It was used to clean out boilers and pipes and take away rust, so industrial factories would put it into their boilers because it's a chelator, so it pulls out minerals and metals, right?
	And so Dell tells this story, it's a classic, that some of this stuff was accidentally spilled on the ground, some of this super chelator, And it exterminated everything that was green and growing.
	That's how the super weed killer was born, okay?
	So, yeah, so if it kills weeds, yes.
	And there's a big brouhaha about weed killer Roundup, even though Roundup is still, you know, an end cap display at Home Depot and Lowe's, places like that.
	But there's always a stealth use of something.
	Do you remember in the vaccine clamor, the activists wanted the thimerosal taken out, the mercury content of vaccines, and that was done, but that doesn't render vaccines safer or safe.
	So the stealth use of glyphosate is that it is applied to almost all, I would say just about all, yes,
	Um, staples, staple crops, namely grains, rice, sugar beets, sugar cane, legumes, um, because it produces this attrition, this atrophy in the plant, physical, people say it's almost like AIDS and the plant starts to dry out.
	So it's used as a desiccant, a drying agent on harvest crops.
	Such that they are easier to harvest, and you can pack more in the transport trucks, and then, you know, there's not as much water content in them.
	So, Zen Honeycutt says, if you're not eating organic, you're eating glyphosate in practically every meal.
	Okay?
	That's pretty disturbing.
	I presume the effects are cumulative, though that might be mistaken.
	Well, I don't want to get into it.
	We can do a show on glyphosate, because I have plenty of information about that.
	But it's a very, very toxic material.
	It is an analog, almost directly and exactly, of the amino acid glycine.
	And its chemical name is N-phosphonomethylglycine.
	So somebody, a couple of people, have synthesized it accidentally or deliberately It's so similar to glycine, which is the most prevalent amino acid in our body, that the body mistakes glyphosate for glycine and it starts to build proteins and other materials.
	Proteins are part of your collagen and they're the construction materials of your body.
	So glyphosate is incorporated into your tissues and it doesn't behave the way properly created proteins should behave.
	And I will be happy to do a show with you on this.
	But the other thing Zen Honeycutt found was that it's extremely dangerous now to eat produce that is conventionally grown.
	All right?
	There is so much toxicity in conventionally grown produce.
	That means produce that's not organic.
	Fruits and vegetables that are not organic now contain more toxins than they do nutrients.
	What do you think of that?
	Shocking!
	It is totally, totally shocking.
	So, I'm still sticking with the school lunch samples, but 100% tested positive for heavy metals, okay?
	And that would be arsenic, cadmium, lead.
	Those levels were 6,000% what the EPA deems safe in drinking water.
	6,000%.
	6,000% in excess of safe levels.
	In other words, staggeringly over the safe values according to the EPA.
	Yes.
	So fast food, basically, the fast food brands test 100% positive for glyphosate.
	100%.
	76% positive for harmful pesticides.
	And where are these pesticides?
	They're in the grains that are used.
	They are in the fruits and vegetables, like your McDonald's apple pie.
	We have to break in about 15.
	Okay.
	And guess which Chain had the highest level of glyphosate.
	The highest.
	I'll just tell you.
	It's Panera Bread.
	Okay?
	Which claims wholesome, clean, good food.
	Really?
	Yes!
	We like Panera.
	You know, I regularly obtain bagels from Panera.
	My wife and I have had lunch at Panera many times.
	I'm really floored by that, Sophia.
	Aren't you glad I'm doing this interview?
	Yes.
	So here's another little sneaky trick that the food industry plays.
	They will often brand things non-GMO because that is a catchphrase today.
	Non-GMO, non-GMO.
	But non-GMO doesn't mean no glyphosate.
	All right?
	Non-GMO only means what it is.
	Non, not genetically modified.
	Meaning the plant or the seed was not genetically modified, but the crop itself was very, very likely dried right before harvest with glyphosate.
	Now, here's an interesting fact.
	The moms tested Pizza Hut's offerings.
	Now, do you go to Pizza Hut, Jim?
	Do you want to say yes or no?
	You can be evasive.
	It's my favorite double pepperoni sauce.
	Oh, I'm going to have to have a chat with you, all right?
	Okay, so they went to test the Pizza Hut menu items.
	They tested cheese pizza and it yielded no trace of pesticides, which is interesting, but the veggie pizza scored 21 parts per billion for assorted pesticides.
	Now we're not talking about glyphosate.
	Glyphosate was in both the veggie pizza And the cheese pizza from Pizza Hut.
	But the veggie pizza was even worse in terms of safety.
	Food safety.
	The veggie pizza was even worse?
	Yeah, because it had vegetables on it with the cheese, Jim.
	So the vegetables brought an added villain to the table, which would be the pesticides they were sprayed with.
	Yes, I'm listening.
	Yes, I'm giving you a chance to catch your breath.
	I know your head is spinning.
	Okay.
	Now, Zen Honeycutt says in this interview, and it's on my blog, sophiasmallstorm.com, she says, just type Zen Honeycutt in the search bar.
	Zen, like Zen and Buddhism and stuff, and then Honeycutt, H-O-N-E-Y-C-U-T-T.
	All right.
	So Zim Honeycutt says that if Americans just switched from eating regular fruits and vegetables to organic fruits and vegetables, we would eliminate 98% of our pesticide consumption.
	So if you just make that little switch, you're going to be so much better off.
	98% of pesticides will be eliminated.
	Repeat that, Sophia.
	That's so important.
	Yes, you repeat after me.
	If Americans just switched.
	Come on.
	If Americans just switched.
	From.
	Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
	Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
	To organic fruits and vegetables.
	To organic fruits and vegetables, as in homegrown your own garden.
	And from farm stands, you've got to know your farmer and stuff that's marked as certified organic or organic.
	Sometimes at farmers markets, they'll say pesticide or chemical free.
	I'll tell you a little bit more about certified organic, how expensive it is.
	So if Americans made that switch, they would eliminate 98% of their pesticide consumption.
	That's fascinating, meaning pesticides are used to protect Right.
	and produce from insects and the like, and as a consequence, it's in the food that's commercially produced.
	Only organic homegrown or home farmer grown are gonna avoid that 98% added non-benefit. - Right, now Jim, I'm going to give people a little mental picture of I'm going to give people a little mental picture of things, all right?
	You said, protects from insects and pests.
	Yeah.
	So, there are actually a lot of fruits and vegetables, even if they're conventionally grown, that are almost pesticide free, meaning they have very low pesticide residues.
	And there's, once I explain this, you'll be able to figure it out in your own head when you're shopping.
	So, avocados rank number one in lowest pesticide residues.
	They don't have to be organic, regular avocados.
	And Dr. Mercola said he engaged a lab to test avocados conventionally grown and they had no pesticide residues.
	Now, why would that be?
	Because they're very hard while they're on the tree and they have a very thick skin.
	And if we like something, A pest is going to like it too.
	But if it's not easy to get into, then pests are going to avoid it.
	So an avocado is a very difficult thing when it's growing on a tree for any pest to bore its way into.
	So think about this.
	Number one on this list of top 15 veggies and fruits with lowest pesticide.
	Number one is avocados.
	Number two is sweet corn.
	Sweet corn comes in a husk with all this corn silk, and I have seen worms in sweet corn, but it is low in pesticide residue if it's conventionally grown, all right?
	The third is pineapple.
	Picture a pineapple, that very thick husky shell and the sweet pineapple meat inside and those spiky leaves, right?
	So pests have a very hard time getting into pineapple.
	Cabbage is next at number four.
	And cabbage is just layers and layers of very tightly packed, kind of shiny, tough leaves, those very tough leaves on the cabbage that we usually peel off.
	So number five is sweet peas, because they have a husk.
	Then you get onions.
	Onions have layers and layers of this papery covering.
	Then you have asparagus with a very tough stalk, and it's very weedy and fibrous.
	Number eight is mango.
	Then papaya, again, with thick skins, very, very hard when they're growing.
	Then you get kiwi, then eggplant, then grapefruit, again, thick, thick skin, cantaloupe, then cauliflower, and then sweet potatoes.
	So those are the top 15.
	And I will post on my avatar product store, I have made a laminated card with this information, with pictures.
	And on the other side of the laminated card are the Fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues.
	And again, you've got to use your logic here.
	And you are an expert in logic, Jim.
	So, if it's easy to get into, and it's sweet and yummy, and we like it, pests are going to like it.
	So, number one, highest pesticide residues, apples.
	Number two, peaches.
	Number three, nectarines.
	Number four, strawberries.
	Then grapes.
	Okay, do you get it?
	Right?
	Sure.
	Alright.
	The list goes down.
	Potatoes are number 12.
	Hot peppers are number 13.
	Blueberries are 14.
	Cherries are 17.
	Plums are 18.
	Pears are 19.
	Okay, so I'm going to post this list for everybody because it will have the 15 safest veggies and fruits with the lowest pesticide residues by picture.
	So that will be burned into your brain.
	And then the 50 From the worst to better and better.
	So that's basically the story that... You didn't mention bananas.
	Bananas have a pretty tough hide.
	Yes, and I also... Let me see where bananas are.
	Bananas on the bad list... Oh, they're number 30.
	They're pretty low down on the bad.
	So they're number 30 on the good No, they would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
	They're about 20 on the good.
	Yeah, 20 and 30 is 50.
	So again, you know, you have to kind of use your logic.
	And I don't know, I guess if bananas stay on the tree, now they're picked fairly green and they ripen through artificial methods either or in your house.
	But I would say bananas are okay.
	That's just my opinion.
	They're not too bad.
	All right?
	So, one thing that Zen Honeycutt points out, the chains are selling menu items that test 100% positive for heavy metals.
	In-N-Out Burger's fries have the most cadmium.
	Sonic's cheeseburger has the most lead, which is 912% more than the EPA's cutoff for drinking water.
	And these fast foods, they also have veterinary drugs and hormones in them, okay?
	Veterinary drugs, right?
	And there are two antibiotics that are found in fast food that are very, very toxic.
	to dogs and horses, and possibly to us.
	And those are called monensin and naresin.
	They're used as feed additives to increase mass, body mass, in cattle.
	And they also control coccidiosis.
	Yes, an intestinal disease in chickens.
	Now, my neighbor's dog became paralyzed over the last couple of years of its life.
	Obviously, it died from this.
	And all the vet could say was that the dog must be allergic to certain kinds of protein.
	But I honestly think it's this monensin and narisin in his dog food that did this to him.
	And we know a lot of dogs slowly become paralyzed, right?
	So, Zen says, I don't know what that's doing to the human, but everybody I know knows somebody with some type of neuropathy or something going on in their legs.
	I'm just speculating it may or may not be related.
	Yes.
	So, you know, 54% of Americans back in 2006 had chronic diseases.
	Americans back in 2006 had chronic diseases.
	That's 2006.
	Glyphosate was taken off patent, I think, in 2008, and everybody is making it now.
	So, it's the biggest toxin in the world, and I promise we'll do a show on glyphosate very soon.
	But now, Chick-fil-A, Jim, do you go there?
	Rarely.
	Once in a blue moon, maybe.
	OK.
	Because Chick-fil-A's sandwiches contain avian contraceptives, bird contraceptives, which are used to prevent pigeons from laying eggs in undesirable places like airports.
	OK?
	Wow!
	Yes.
	So Jack in the Box is guilty for butanadiol and isobutyl methyl ether.
	That's also called propane.
	And this is what's very interesting.
	This butanediol, I don't know if I'm saying it right, it causes combativeness, agitation, and confusion in people, as well as breathing problems.
	And Zen says, I know so many people whose children or husbands are aggressive after eating junk food.
	And we're seeing a lot, right?
	Very interesting, Sylvia.
	Very interesting.
	Yeah, and she says, you know, we're turning people into violent beings because there's a lot of rage among children.
	She says it's breaking up marriages and destroying relationships.
	We need to look at the food people are eating.
	Yes, and are you working your way up to Kentucky Fried Chicken or Popeye's Chicken?
	I didn't take notes on everything and include everything in my newsletter, but if you go to my blog or you go to The High Wire and you look up Zen Honeycutt interview with Del Bigtree, you will find this and you can listen to it.
	And I think it has to be listened to a couple of times.
	And luckily, you know, some people will do that and they'll take notes.
	Now I'm going to tell you another thing, very interesting.
	When is the break?
	Four minutes?
	Coming right up.
	It's a couple of minutes before, so about two minutes you got.
	Okay, all right.
	So there's a book that Zen talks about called Food and Behavior, a Natural Connection by Barbara Reed Stitt.
	She has studied the food supply for over 20 years.
	She has done some investigation.
	Sorry, I was wrong on the estimates of him.
	We'll pick it up right after this break with Sophia Smallstorm.
	You don't want to miss a word of this.
	We'll be right back.
	Listen to Revolution Radio at freedomslips.com.
	We'll be right back after this message.
	Was it a conspiracy?
	Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bullhordes during the marathon?
	That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities.
	And that one would be set off in one minute in front of a library, which happened as the Globe had announced.
	Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs.
	But there was no blood.
	The blood only showed up later and came out of a tomb.
	They used amputee actors and a studio-quality smoke machine.
	Don't let yourself be played.
	Check out And Nobody Died in Boston, either.

	That's moonrockbooks.com.
	If you think for one second that the Capitol will ever treat us fairly, you are lying to yourself. - Go!
	Because we know who they are and what they do.
	This is what they do!
	and we must fight back.
	You can torture us and bomb us.
	Fire is catching.
	And if we burn, You burn with us!
	Good evening.
	Are you awake yet?
	I hope.
	We've tried and we've tried for years and years to use passive resistance and loud voices to make a change.
	But time is over.
	Your governments around the world have no other goal than to decimate your entire existence at the hands of the bankers and the elites.
	The war is coming and it's your choice to decide if you want to be a warrior or a victim.
	Denial is not a choice anymore.

	You're listening to Revolution Radio, freedomslips.com, 100% listener-supported radio.
	And now we return you to your host.
	Well, this is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Rock Deal, featuring Sophia Smallstorm today.
	I'm so delighted.
	Sophia, please continue.
	All right.
	I don't know if it's so delightful, all right, to hear this, but I'm going to just do one little, you were mentioning brands, certain brands.
	So Captain Crunch cereal, Captain Crunch.
	Do you remember that, Jim?
	Sure.
	It was introduced in 1963 by Quaker Oats.
	It was actually developed by a flavorist, Pamela Lowe, and her New Hampshire grandmother had made a magical dish of brown sugar and butter over rice.
	This was like a, you know, Northeast family classic of theirs.
	And so she developed this Cap'n Crunch in imitation of that.
	And, um, Quaker Oats is now a subsidiary of PepsiCo Corporation.
	So here's what's interesting.
	The government subsidizes production of these kinds of cereals by Cap'n Crunch.
	And so as American children grow up eating this, the American adult that that child eventually becomes spends $10,000 a year on medical bills.
	So here's the bird's eye view.
	The child who is fed Cap'n Crunch and other similar cereals is now the adult with medical bills.
	All right?
	So, yeah, to go back to Barbara Stitt, Food and Behavior, so she was studying criminals, parolees, serial killers, and high school dropouts.
	Now, I personally don't think that high school dropouts necessarily belong in the same class as parolees and serial killers, but The one thing they had in common, Jim, was not their socioeconomic background or their race, if you might, you know, surmise this looking at the prison system.
	It was actually the fact that they all bragged that they lived on junk food.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So they bragged they lived on junk food.
	And they were mineral deficient, very low in vitamin Bs, and when Barbara Stitt had a certain prison or two change the food, she found that the recidivism rate completely switched.
	Instead of 70% going out and coming back in, this is prisoners, 70% stayed out of prison just by changing their diet.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And in the high school, Really?
	that she tested, instead of 500 kids dropping out when the lunch program was changed, only 14 kids dropped out.
	Really?
	That's fascinating.
	I know.
	So in a prison, there was a 37 to 50 percent drop in aggressive behavior when a certain study group of prisoners got minerals and supplements.
	In their food.
	So.
	So, again, you know, you can see this in animal behaviour.
	A German farmer had hamsters in his field.
	I thought those would be gophers, but they're actually hamsters.
	He had a monocrop cornfield.
	So, monocrop means just one crop on a farm, usually.
	And if it's corn, you know it's pesticides and herbicides And the soil was very deficient.
	It was like sand.
	It was so dry and coarse.
	And this farmer brought in a scientist from the University of Strasbourg, and she found that the mother hamsters were cannibals.
	They were eating their young on the first day of life, living in this environment, right?
	And they found that the hamsters were completely devoid of vitamin B3.
	And when they gave those hamsters vitamin B3, the cannibalism and violent behavior stopped.
	Wow!
	Talk about behavioral effects of simple elements that ought to be in a healthy diet.
	This is really stunning stuff, Sophia.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, here's the other thing.
	We want our children and everyone, we want everyone to live up to their fullest potential.
	And so Zen says to Dell, Big Tree, the host, right now the entire American population is being poisoned with these chemicals, which are neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors.
	They destroy our hormones, they cause people to have mental illness, to have physical health problems, chronic illnesses.
	And so, just remember what we said, I made you repeat, just going organic instead of doing the regular produce and eating.
	You know how doctors and all the people in health, the health practices tell us, eat more fruits, eat more vegetables, but these studies by moms across America have proven that you're going to just be eating more toxins if you do that.
	Yes.
	So, I find that one of the things she says is the investment of the American government in, you can comment on this, in weaponry and wars, rather than changing the diets of Americans, especially with the government subsidized, state subsidized free school lunch programs, right?
	But here's a problem.
	Jim, do you know what a scratch kitchen is?
	A scratch kitchen?
	I'm not sure, Sylvia, tell us.
	A scratch kitchen is a kitchen in which you can cook from scratch.
	There are utensils, there are pots and pans, right?
	But the school kitchens are no longer scratch kitchens because this change has been going on for so long now that the school lunch kitchens can't prepare food from scratch.
	They can only serve food on plastic trays and deal with packaged stuff.
	So there are basically no scratch kitchens in schools anymore. - Yes, yes, okay.
	The cost of labor and all that to prepare the food from scratch is just too daunting.
	And to save taxpayer money, they cut corners that turn out to yield far less healthy food for the children.
	Right.
	So Zen says, instead of making more airplanes to bomb other people, how about our government put scratch kitchens back into the schools?
	So Jim, as a former Marine and a person who has been commenting on Politics and wars and everything for so many years.
	Do you think it's likely that the American government is going to take up an interest in putting scratch kitchens in schools?
	Not a chance, sad to say, but it could be made a part of a platform for a candidate who cared about America and they could garner potentially a lot of support.
	I mean, there's It's not out of the question that if this became a campaign issue, even say in relation to 2024, though I do not foresee this happening, but if it were to happen, I think it could make a difference.
	Yeah.
	So Zen says, pesticide and glyphosate spraying needs to end now or we will find ourselves in major health and mental health crises.
	She says, you know, it's a national homeland security issue.
	Generals from the U.S.
	military have said that our school lunches are a national homeland security issue because only 25% of the kids that apply to the military can get in because the rest have mental health issues or obesity.
	She says we're not setting ourselves up to continue to be a superpower just because of the food we're feeding our children.
	Yes.
	Right.
	But so I make the point in my newsletter that the military is happy to bring in drones and robots to replace the real soldiers, right?
	So I don't think personally that we can expect the government, which is so intent on national defense as it engages in war after war in all corners of the world, while it invents fictional enemies and paints tall tales of terror attacks, We can't expect it to stop churning dollars through its beloved military-industrial complex in favour of funding organic lunches for children.
	I think you've got it right, Sylvia.
	Very troubling, all this.
	Very, very troubling.
	So, you know, the moms want to test military food next, and hospital food.
	And these tests are very, very expensive.
	And you can actually donate to them.
	They have a lot of what I call kick-ass plans.
	There's a website, momsacrossamerica.com.
	So it would be nice if people could help to fund these studies, which the moms have tried, honestly, to do something with.
	They've met with the EPA four times.
	And each time they're told, go to Congress.
	So they arranged a congressional briefing through Senator Cory Booker's office, and they were told, go to the USDA.
	And this meeting they arranged, and they were told, well, it's really a matter for the FDA.
	So then they hit up the FDA, who sent them back to the EPA.
	So they just keep kicking the football around, you know?
	Or kicking the can down the road, yes.
	Yes.
	So, Jim, I was reporting on this because I felt I wasn't aware of these statistics.
	I wasn't aware of the profoundness of these realities, you know?
	And I wanted to lay it out in a newsletter and then start doing shows about it.
	And the credit goes to Zen Honeycutt and Moms Across America.
	I'm just regurgitating, regurgitating this.
	So are you ready for part two?
	Sure.
	All right, take a deep breath, okay?
	So, I will segue into part two.
	I read the books Super Size Me and Fast Food Nation.
	I also posted the documentary Globesity on my blog, and this is from 2015, and it's actually a very different film than the one you can find online now.
	It was apparently remade.
	So, what I learned from the 2015 film was that junk food manufacturers, and we'll include Coca-Cola among them, the drinks, let's not forget the drinks, they have taken advantage of poverty-stricken countries in South and Central America.
	They have moved in and addicted these populations to their products, Coca-Cola, sodas, And pizzas and, you know, the American delicacies of fast food.
	Because, Jim, those populations have been calorie starved.
	Yes?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	And they are, those bodies are looking for calories, not the quality of the calories they're getting.
	And in the 2015 film Globesity, which you have to buy now or rent, I saw somewhere at the beginning a little four-year-old boy who was so enormous, so obese, and he was having a temper tantrum under the kitchen table because his mother had denied him pizza.
	And so he was completely addicted to junk food to pizza and eventually I learned that in Brazil there is so much obesity, so much addiction to this dangerous food that the government actually pays for people to have their stomach stapled.
	I'm waiting for a couple.
	Stomach stapled to avoid junk food.
	To avoid obesity, right?
	Yeah.
	So I want you to tell me how many teaspoons of sugar you think there are in one can of Coke.
	How many teaspoons of sugar in a can of Coke?
	Two would be too low, I guess.
	Two.
	Two?
	Yeah.
	How about ten?
	Okay.
	Ten.
	Wow.
	That's a lot.
	Yeah.
	The sugar craze, the low-fat push, was just a way to, it was the work of the sugar lobby, just a way to get us to ingest tons and tons of sugar.
	And as people inhale this sugar, their insulin secretion soars, which is a state of hormone imbalance, because insulin is actually a hormone.
	So insulin determines whether the calories you eat are burned or stored.
	And the more insulin you make, the more glucose, which is the end product of the sugar, that you store, instead of using it to fuel your brain and muscles.
	So if you're eating sugar, you're actually getting hungrier and hungrier, because your body is not using that sugar for your brain and muscles.
	So that's why the sugar addict constantly eats, constantly eats for more chips, donuts, Cinnamon buns, right?
	And this makes the food and soda companies richer.
	So I feel that they have cast a sugar-insulin spell on us, so that they and all who support them, meaning retailers, distributors, marketers, can all become richer.
	And we are basically producing fatsos in this world.
	A church pastor says in the remake of the Globesity film, the newer version, that he is losing more people to sweets through diabetes.
	Losing more people to sweets than gun violence.
	And when he talks about losing them, what exactly does he mean, Sylvia?
	Death, death.
	Wow.
	Wow!
	Diabetes kills one person every six seconds around the world.
	And children have what's called juvenile diabetes, which was not heard of a generation ago.
	So that's what this pastor means.
	In poor neighborhoods, you know, when I lived in New York and I used to work in New York City, I actually went there by car because I worked in northern Manhattan, and I used to drive back home and Sometimes when it was a holiday weekend and the Deagon Expressway was really heavy, I would get off and I would drive through the Bronx, or I wouldn't get on, I would just drive through the Bronx.
	And I was amazed at all these corner stores, they're called bodegas, and they had these stands with colorful fruits, vegetables, ripe avocados, and the people in the neighborhoods were shopping there.
	Now you don't see that.
	Those neighborhood grocery stores, those bodegas are gone.
	All you see in low-income neighborhoods is what I call crap junk.
	You see convenience stores with fast food, right?
	Fast food outlets.
	Because that's all these people have been given to eat.
	That's how money is made.
	Those convenience stores can't support themselves anymore because I would say it has to do with marketing on TV, TV advertising.
	Coca-Cola spent $120 million in five years, 2010 to 2015, patently denying any link between sugar and diabetes.
	And these were all based on studies.
	These claims were based on studies paid for by the soft drink companies.
	So, immigrant and low-income populations in America are the biggest consumers of sugary drinks, and they are dying from them.
	So, in Mexico City, 73% of the population is obese, and they have willingly traded their traditional diet for these exciting, cheap American fast foods.
	And this is called culinary colonialism.
	Culinary colonialism indeed, yes.
	Yeah, and the people were easily converted to buying the crappy food because it's calorie rich, it's tasty, and that's from artificial flavors, and it's cheap.
	So their bodies, their education hasn't risen to the point that they have been shown that they must discriminate between tasty cheap food and real nutritive food that they used to eat.
	Before these companies came into their countries.
	Yes.
	So, you know, we have a complex chronic condition now in America.
	It's called Class 3 Obesity.
	And to be in this category, your BMI, Body Mass Index, needs to be over 35.
	I actually found a tool from the NIH and I put it on my blog.
	If you just type in body mass index in the search bar on my blog, you can calculate your own body mass index.
	It's very interesting because that number is used by actuaries.
	It's used by insurance companies to determine the rates they're going to charge you.
	Fatness through the ages, Jim, you know, you probably do, that plumpness, fat and plumpness has been our thing for centuries.
	And fatness has been admired as a sign of health, wealth, having ample food, sexiness, happiness, right?
	In a bygone age, if you were fat, it meant you were rich.
	It meant you were not in need.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	OK.
	We've certainly had health consciousness sweeps, especially in California, however, working totally against that cultural trend.
	OK, so this is where I'm going to start sharing screen, but again, I want people to use their imagination here.
	We've seen all these paintings of fat female nudes like Peter Paul Rubens.
	OK, so There's something called a Venus figurine.
	And before I show it, I want people to go back in their minds and think if they've ever seen this.
	So this is an Upper Paleolithic statue portraying a woman.
	I'm reading from Wikipedia.
	Usually carved in the round, meaning three-dimensionally.
	And most of these have been unearthed in Europe, but they've been found as far away as Siberia.
	And they have wide hips and legs, and often no arms or feet.
	And the head is usually small and faceless.
	And they're called Venus figurines.
	They exaggerate the abdomen, hips, breasts, and thighs.
	So the original cultural meaning and purpose of these artifacts is unknown, Jim.
	But they've been found everywhere.
	One of the very popular ones is Venus of Willendorf.
	This is Stone Age art.
	30,000 or more years old.
	And so Wikipedia tells us that in the early 20th century, the general belief among scholars was that these figurines represent an ancient ideal of beauty, hence the name Venus.
	Right?
	Have you seen these figures, these religious figures that we think of as expressing health and fertility?
	Well, I imagine I have, Sophia, but if you want to share a screen, that would be most helpful.
	All right, I will in a minute.
	So, they've all been named Venus.
	We have Venus of Galgenberg, which was lower Austria, Venus of Lausselle in southern France, Venus of Moravni, Slovakia.
	Those are 30,000 to 23,000 years old.
	Then we've got one that's 11,000.
	It's the Venus of Monrouge, found in Switzerland.
	And then at the Louvre, the museum in Paris, there's a Neolithic fertility figure from Mesopotamia, which 6000 BC approximately dates to.
	And there's a 3000-year-old one from the Indus Valley.
	So I'm asking, why do these stumpy women show up everywhere?
	Were people really that short and fat back then?
	Because the brainy scholars haven't figured out what these archaeological finds really are, I'm going to tell people to look at Jenny Lake's blog.
	Remember Jenny Lake, our friend Jim?
	Yes.
	So she has a giant post on this, but I'm going to show excerpts that I've taken and then come to my own destination with this analysis that she turned me on to.
	What looks like those fat fertility carvings?
	All right, and here's where I'm going to try to share screen.
	Start sharing, okay.
	Jim, can you see my screen?
	Yes, I can.
	All right, so I'm going to open this.
	You see that, Jim?
	Here we see two.
	I do, I do.
	They aren't full screen, but yes, we do see them.
	Okay, so these are Venus figurines, the central one and the one on the right.
	The one on the left is your brain stem.
	That is the brain stem in the human brain.
	Well, so you're noticing a striking resemblance between the statues and the brain stem.
	Yes, at the bottom of our brain is a stalk that is known as the brain stem.
	It contains the midbrain.
	It also contains our master regulator, the hypothalamus.
	It joins the forebrain and the hindbrain and the big wrinkled cerebrum.
	That's what you think of when you picture the brain, the big walnut looking thing with all the wrinkles, the two halves.
	That's the cerebrum.
	Okay, so basically the brainstem links the brain to the spinal cord.
	It links the different parts.
	It's absolutely integral to our being alive and functioning properly.
	It's the heart of the brain.
	It's at the heart of the brain as well.
	So.
	What do you see?
	It's the fat little woman that people have been carving.
	Well, I don't think they were looking at brain stems when they carved them, Sophia.
	I mean, I would have.
	But I'm I'm intrigued by your suggestion.
	I think.
	Alright, Jim, we're going to go back.
	We're hitting a break, Sophia.
	I'm looking forward to the Further consideration of all these issues.
	We'll be right back with Sophia Smallstorm.
	We'll be right back.

	Thank you.
	All right, yes, Jim, I was worried.
	- Yeah, that little kitchen catastrophe I had to deal with.
	We're good, we're good. - 'Cause you have a scratch kitchen, right?
	Well, I suppose you could call it that.
	Home kitchens are scratch kitchens.
	All right, so I'm going to minimize the Skype and go back to this.
	All right, you're saying that these people were not carving brains, but I'm saying this, Jim.
	At the time, in the Paleolithic Age, there was no pencil, there was no paper, there were no cameras.
	Do you think these people weren't curious?
	Do you think these people didn't dig around in animals?
	They killed animals for food and they obviously were just as human as we are.
	And you don't think that they would take little sticks and tools and stones and take the carcasses apart?
	So, my guess... Certainly an intriguing idea, Sophia.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	And, you know, now let me tell you something.
	Facebook removed... I'm going to close this one and show you this poor Venus of Willendorf.
	Yeah, I only got a small one of this, but do you see that?
	That's the Venus of Willendorf.
	It was found in Austria in 1908.
	And it's like 25 or 30,000 years old.
	And there's something next to it, which is a similar carving.
	But listen, Facebook took down images of Venus of Willendorf because of the giant boobs.
	This thing was considered pornographic.
	Oh, come on!
	Yes!
	How ridiculous is that?
	A Stone Age carving pornographic, right?
	But now I'm going to show you the Brain structures of vertebrates.
	Here's the bony fish.
	Here's the amphibian, the reptile, the bird, and the mammal.
	And as you progress, as you look at more advanced creatures, creatures that require higher energy or, you know, greater thinking beings, the more advanced the animal, the bigger the cerebrum.
	This is that wrinkly part the two walnut halves.
	And also the smaller the olfactory lobes.
	So the olfactory lobes are the thing numbered one, these orange bits.
	Look how big they are in the amphibian, very big in the reptile, huge in the bird.
	And one, look how small, at the very top, these little nodules at the top of the walnut hats, those are our olfactory lobes.
	So, you know, just as human children take apart clocks and whatnot, why wouldn't early people who lived in isolation, who didn't have written records to refer to, take apart creatures to see what was inside?
	And why would they not record these findings?
	These things would rot!
	Animal carcasses and innards would rot, so they might make a replica in stone or wood.
	So imagine a paleo teenager saying to his friend, Dude, look what I found inside the head of this bird.
	Don't you think it looks like paleo girl so-and-so?
	And paleo two might agree, and paleo one dude might take up some limestone and do a carving.
	They certainly bear a similarity in appearance.
	No one would deny that, Sophia.
	The question, I think, is just whether the one inspired the other, but you're offering a very interesting conjecture.
	Very interesting indeed.
	Now look at our cerebellum, all right?
	Here is the cerebellum.
	It's another brain part.
	It's got these two big lobes right at the top, and then it's got this cerebrocerebellum, this striated, skirty-looking thing, and there's the midbrain in between the two.
	And now, In my JFK research, I do work JFK at extruding cerebral and cerebellar tissues at Parkland.
	This blowout at the back of his head, but that's a compact part of the brain at the base of the brain.
	Now, this diagram doesn't look very familiar to me because it doesn't show the cerebral part of the brain and the relative location of the cerebellum.
	I have diagrams of this in my Lectures about JFK.
	This is puzzling to me.
	Puzzling.
	All right.
	Well, I'm taking this from Jenny Lake's blog, but there were the big, highly fluted skirts that Elizabethans wore.
	This is dressing up.
	Look at this.
	Dressing up the skull.
	I don't know if you can see this, but there is that highly valued brain stem with the thalamus in red.
	And they put a skirt on it.
	Just for, you know, this is just for reflection.
	Now, here's Elizabeth again, as I'm showing you.
	Now this is a very interesting thing, Jim.
	You've seen the Eye of Horus that the Egyptians painted.
	It looks like it has black eyeliner and these dangly curved lines, these curlicues, right?
	And I saw this myself just Jenny had mentioned it and I forgot about it, but when you take a cross-section going down through the brain, this region here is the eye of Horus.
	It looks just like... That's interesting.
	Now, Sophia, see there, you've got the cerebral at the top and curling around to the right and that little thing at the lower left.
	Now that's where the cerebellum is located.
	Right.
	So the eye of Horus fits right in the corpus callosum.
	And when you look at it from the side, that corpus callosum, it's shaped like the Eye of Horus that the Egyptians were so fond of drawing.
	And it's got the thalamus stuffed right inside it.
	And there is a website, egyptforwardfwd.org, and it says, this is one of the most baffling secrets of ancient human history, the fact that the Eye of Horus fits right in the mid-sagittal section of the human brain.
	And, you know, there are a lot of symbols that relate to our brain lobes and our senses.
	And this particular website, EgyptF, like FrankWD.org, gets into them.
	I can't get into all of that now, but I wanted just to show another thing that was art-related.
	And that is, where are we?
	Okay, look at this.
	Creation of atoms.
	This is the very famous painting on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
	It's a fresco, right, by Michelangelo, who lived from 1475 to 1564.
	Now he, Jim, was a master anatomist.
	He had dissected many cadavers.
	He had a profound understanding of human anatomy.
	So there's a guy.
	F. L. Meshberger, he published an article in JAMA, Journal of American Medical Association, in October 1990, and it was titled, An Interpretation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam Based on Neuroanatomy.
	So, if you look at the positioning of the figures in this orb thing, which is in that creation of Adam fresco, you see that God is leaning through it just the way This brainstem goes through the brain.
	So God is positioned where the brainstem is positioned in the brain.
	And the creation of Adam, that Meshberger used software to show that this painting incorporates the divine proportion golden ratio.
	Have you heard of that Jim?
	Sure.
	Yeah, so that's, you know, very famous.
	It goes back to antiquity.
	It was cited by Euclid and studied by all kinds of mathematicians.
	So the page on Wikipedia for Golden Ratio is extremely long and it includes this.
	I just took one little excerpt.
	Biologists, artists, musicians, historians, architects, psychologists and mystics have long pondered the basis of its ubiquity and appeal.
	It's probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics.
	So my statement about that is we have to conclude then that art is not just art.
	Art is not just about beauty.
	People have been forever creating in art what we might never assume to be at all related to what we have come to think of as art.
	And I'm going to finish with this other thing.
	I found this GIF.
	Oh, I have to open it with Safari to make it work.
	OK, watch this.
	Alright, see how this thing.
	Can you see this spinning?
	That is the brain.
	Yeah, pretty, pretty, pretty small, but there it is.
	Yeah, sure, that is spinning great.
	Cranium with some features of the brain illustrated internally, yes.
	Yes, that is a leaning woman's figure in the brain, okay?
	And I'm going to show you this Botticelli's Venus here, and let's see if I can go to it in my newsletter.
	All right.
	So here's that leaning brain stem in the skull, and here is Venus rising from the sea, Botticelli.
	So, honestly, What I came to think about was this.
	If you look up Thalamus, and you see this animated GIF that I just showed you, and then you connect that to Botticelli's Venus Rising, Venus is in our brain.
	She's joining our moving body to our thinking head.
	So, do we even realize that the exterior of the human body, our bodies, look at Venus, reflects parts of our brain and check this out.
	Here's your buddy Arnold Schwarzenegger.
	Look at these bodybuilders and look how much energy they expend to make themselves all lumpy and striated.
	Is this the brain cerebrum that wrinkled?
	That's the heavy thinking part of the brain.
	Are these prize-winning weightlifters displaying brains all over their bodies?
	Look, cerebrum, cerebrum, cerebrum, cerebrum.
	And these big giant chests.
	These are like the lobes in those, you know, the breasts.
	This is representative of the thalamus.
	So I'm saying, is it possible that we're made on the outside of us in the image and shape of what's inside our heads?
	Right?
	inside our heads is actually reflected outside?
	So is it possible that God, who supposedly made us in his image, really made us in the image of the most awe-inspiring part of us?
	And why have people over the ages painted and sculpted what looks so much like parts of our brain?
	Why do artists insist on painting the nude female body?
	Is it because something shaped like woman, i.e.
	the brain stem?
	Here we are.
	Here's the skull.
	I know this is really small, but woman is in our brain?
	Can I go so far as to say that the brain is in man and man is in the brain?
	You don't like it?
	Well, you can go so far as to say it.
	I mean, we're We're a sexually reproducing species and men find women's figures attractive as women find many of men figures attractive.
	I mean, it's indispensable to the reproduction and survival of species that we have so evolved.
	I think you have a lot of Fascinating conjecture, Sophia, some of which I find more plausible than others, but it's sure fascinating to hear you talk about all these things.
	Whether I buy it all or not is a totally another matter, but I find it fascinating what you have to say about all of the above.
	Yeah, well, we've got Jenny Lake to thank for starting me on this path, and you can find her blog at jenniferlake.com.
	She's really the one who's put so much energy into looking at this.
	And then I was just, you know, speculating that, hey, is it possible that we're made in the image of what's in our brains?
	That brain cell stem is critical, critical.
	It knits everything together.
	So there we go, Jim.
	And here's the other thing, you know.
	If we trash and distort our bodies by eating junk that runs us down and makes us morbidly obese, what's happening to the inside of our brains?
	Is the shape of that brainstem changing?
	So, I really believe we have to think about the stuff that we talked about at the beginning of this interview and think about how we are all tied together.
	Well, we are indeed all tied together.
	Tell me what you think about, you know, fads in fashion regarding the thin look in Hollywood and how that might relate to all of these other issues.
	I mean, there are periods when Southern California especially just goes all out for health, fitness, losing weight, staying trim, recommending, you know, the ideal Shape of the female body is very slim and trim.
	Not at all like some of those ancient figures which were so plump and obese.
	Jim, this is what I think.
	That brain stem.
	Is everything it's a stock.
	It's a thin and trim connection part.
	It connects the lower body.
	By way of the spinal cord connects the spinal cord to the brain.
	So that brain stem, you see that leaning figure in it that looks like a woman's body with the hips, the breasts and shoulders that they're dressing in these.
	I had this section in the newsletter.
	I didn't have space for it, so I had to take it out.
	But those runway models.
	They're simply the brain stem being dressed up.
	We put the most expensive fabrics The most expensive clothing designs onto the brainstem.
	We are dressing the brainstem.
	Those models, they have to be tall.
	They can't be 5'2".
	They have to be 5'10".
	They have to be skinny.
	They stride down the runway.
	We're dressing the brainstem.
	The Haute Couture that comes out of France is the most expensive clothing in the world, and we're putting it on the brainstem.
	Why don't you go back to the image where you have the brainstem compared with two of the ancient artifacts?
	I think that would be a great way to close out our conversation.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Especially when you look at the upper part of the brainstem, it's like those are arms there that are folded in.
	That's how they depicted in their statues.
	They didn't look.
	Who would?
	If you're making a carving of a woman, why would you have the arms, you know, pitched that high and folded?
	And often they're without arms and they don't have feet, because here's the stem.
	It doesn't have feet.
	And it depends on what angle you look at the stem.
	I would tell people, go to the Wikipedia and type in thalamus, T-H-A-L-A-M-U-S, and watch that GIF yourself.
	It's really cool.
	You can see that leaning figurine in the brain. - And when we go back to all your discussion about the contents of fast foods and gliophosphate and the like, I think all that really curls the hair, Sophia.
	That's so very disturbing.
	Yes.
	Glyphosate, Jim.
	Glyphosate.
	You likened it to antifreeze.
	Just let's call it antifreeze.
	It's easier to remember.
	And what kind of reaction are you getting from your readers to these speculations?
	Well, I yelled at a friend of ours, because I won't mention his name, even though he badly wants me to, and I didn't take calls in this show.
	I asked not to, so that I could get through everything.
	But this friend of ours, this mutual friend, shops at Grocery Outlet.
	Who would go to Grocery Outlet?
	You mentioned Costco right off the bat.
	The bat.
	I mean, that's that's the source of most of the food stops were the members of my family, not only my wife, but my daughter also shops there.
	So you were hitting very close to home.
	So in taking those examples, which I thought were totally appropriate.
	But Jim, here's the thing.
	Why are you shopping there?
	Because of value, right?
	Value.
	Oh, yeah, I'm not going to.
	So in the end, what do you value?
	Do you value your health?
	Do you value an extended old age that's comfortable?
	I mean, it's not comfortable to be sick.
	It's not comfortable to be spending $10,000 a year on medical bills whether they are, you know, subsidized by Medicare or a health insurance plan.
	It's not comfortable to be needing medical assistance or to be not at your best.
	And if eating organic fruits and vegetables, just making that switch, yes, you might have to spend a little more money, but what is it worth in the end?
	Just making that conversion from regular fruits and vegetables to organic fruits, 98% of pesticide consumption is gone from your life.
	Yeah, I think this is a great pitch for farmers markets.
	I endorse that 100%.
	I think you've made a lot of really telling points about the difference between Commercially available products, including produce and farm fresh vegetables and produce.
	I think your case there is 100% rock solid.
	Well, let me tell you what happened at Farmers Market that I used to attend.
	I actually had a booth there for several years trying my avatarproducts.com.
	That's my website.
	You can buy amazing stuff.
	Look at the square of life.
	I should actually go there and share it, but.
	Sure, you can do that.
	Go ahead.
	I have to.
	Well, all right, let me stop sharing and get there for a minute.
	OK, but anyway, this is the point that I'm making now, Jim.
	Stop sharing.
	OK, so.
	I just lost my train of thought.
	You were saying?
	Farmers markets.
	OK, so in California and other states, you cannot say certified.
	You can't say organic.
	You can only say certified organic.
	If you pay the state in California, it's $4,000 a year and it's 10% of your gross as well.
	This is what I learned from small farmers.
	Yes.
	So they can't afford the $4,000 a year, especially with the drought conditions that have been, you know, geo-engineered.
	They have to pay for irrigation.
	So they're going out of business.
	The best they can do is put up a sign at their booth that says pesticide-free or chemical-free.
	And I have seen the Department of Agriculture guy come through and tell those farmers to take that sign down.
	Take it down.
	You can't say this.
	You can't post pesticide-free or chemical-free.
	That's how controlled it is.
	That's really bad.
	California is so far out there in so many ways, Sophia.
	I'm astonished you continue to live there.
	Jim, it's worth it to me for other reasons.
	You have to navigate your way through this, alright?
	You have to navigate through all of this stuff.
	You have to figure it out.
	But I am going to see if I can bring up my site.
	Sure.
	Please do.
	Please do.
	Please do for Avatar Products.
	Yes.
	I want to show the square of life, the square of health thing that I just put up.
	Let me expand my screen.
	All right.
	And share.
	And we're almost at the end of the show.
	How nerve wracking.
	OK.
	All right.
	So here we go.
	This is what I, in my experience, this is my own life, call the square of health.
	Iodine, magnesium, grounding.
	I have a whole page on grounding products now and the gut biome product Ion.
	So here's grounding.
	You know, grounding is, you can read all about it.
	I have a flyer on grounding on my website.
	Organic cotton grounding pad.
	This is the bed strip.
	You can ground all night.
	You can draw the free electrons of the earth into your body.
	Here's you can ground your pet.
	This is a friend's cat grounding.
	He found a little device that I sent my friend and he put his paws on it every day.
	Okay.
	So there are a lot of things on this website to look at.
	I don't usually pitch my site on this show, but it would be nice to have a little support and I'm happy to do a show on glyphosate sometime with you, Jim, and also on Any other thing you'd be interested in?
	Iodine is an extremely important issue to connect listeners with, to know about.
	So, we're almost at the end.
	Are there any more questions that anybody has?
	You?
	Oh, I've enjoyed it immensely, Sophia, and I look forward to our next conversation.
	Thank you so much for today.
	All right.
	Everyone spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
	We do not know how much time we have left.
	Thanks for being here and have a great Valentine's Day.
