War On a Scale Unprecedented
I was exactly ten months old on the Day of Infamy.

The U.S. government planned to attack Germany at least several months before Pearl Harbor.
The Battle of Britain had already escalated into the Battle of the Atlantic because German U-boats violated Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “Neutrality Zone” on March 25, 1941.
Losing $7,000,000,000 worth of U.S. Lend-Lease goods to the bottom of the Atlantic couldn’t be tolerated.
Losses went as high as 650,000 tons of merchant shipping in a single month.
Strict anti-strike legislation was passed against workers in rearmament plants.
Most U.S. citizens knew war was just around the corner before Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “secret plan” was “exposed.”

“F.D.R.’S WAR PLANS!” screamed the headline of the Dec. 4, 1941 issue of The Chicago Tribune.
Thousands of Tribune readers cancelled their subscriptions, rallying around the cry …
“Millions for defense, but not two cents for the Tribune!”

Some conspiracy theorists claim FDR himself leaked the document to The Tribune to provoke Hitler into declaring war.

Chesly Manly (“GOAL IS 10 MILLION ARMED MEN; HALF TO FIGHT IN AEF: Proposes Land Drive by July 1, 1943, to Smash Nazis; President Told of Equipment Shortage,” The Chicago Tribune, Dec. 4, 1941) wrote …
“Washington, D.C., Dec. 3 — A confidential report prepared by the joint army and navy high command by direction of President Roosevelt calls for American expeditionary forces aggregating 5,000,000 men for a final land offensive against Germany and her satellites. It contemplates total armed forces of 10,045,658 men.”
[16,100,100 Americans allegedly ended up serving in World War II, and 690,000,000 worldwide served in it.]
According to the same article …
“One of the few existing copies of this astounding document, which represents decisions and commitments affecting the destinies of peoples thruout [graphic variant] the civilized world, became available to The Tribune today.
“It is a blueprint for total war on a scale unprecedented in at least two oceans and three continents, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
“The report expresses the considered opinion of the army and navy strategists that ‘Germany and her European satellites cannot be defeated by the European powers now fighting against her.’ Therefore, it concludes, ‘if our European enemies are to be defeated it will be necessary for the United States to enter the war, and to employ a part of its armed forces offensively in the eastern Atlantic and in Europe and Africa.
“July 1, 1943, is fixed as the date for the beginning of the final supreme effort by American land forces to defeat the mighty German army in Europe.”
According to the same article …
“In the meantime, however, increasingly active participation is prescribed for the United States, to consist of the gradual encirclement of Germany by the establishment of military bases, an American air offensive against Germany from bases in the British Isles and in the near east, and possible action by American expeditionary forces in Africa and the near east.
“For the ultimate supreme effort the war prospectus calling for 10,045,658 in the armed forces would give the navy 1,100,000, including the naval air force, and would place 150,000 in the marine corps, 6,745,658 in the army, ground force, and 2,050,000 in the army air force.”

Richard Freeman (“The World War II mobilization that ended the Great Depression,” Executive Intelligence Review, Jun. 14, 1983) wrote …
“In 1940, the Nazis had 10,500 tanks, 20 motorized divisions, 135,000 trucks and 60,000 motorcycles. The United States had 500 tanks. The Nazis had a battle-tested, efficient army of 7 million. The United States had 370,000 soldiers in arms, and another 170,000 in reserves.”

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation. No they didn’t. That is a lie. It is not true. Now Lincoln had to lie in 1863 because he had to justify the Union’s side in the Civil War. And he had the moral right on his side, but he didn’t have history on his side.” — Joseph Ellis

We sent our scrap metal to Japan in the 1930s, and they sent it back to us as bombs.
Then we sent them more scrap metal after the war, and they sent us back Toyotas.

Atom, can you comment on this article:

It seems like turning white fat into brown fat is a good thing to burn it? Is brown or beige fat the same thing as yellow fat?
Thanks!

Wow! Lab techs in white coats are dangerous to our health and longevity!
Using ILC2s to fight obesity is like using piranhas for weight loss.
ILC2s secrete cytokines to fight parasites but cause allergic lung inflammation.
Yikes! Who dreams this stuff up?
ILC2s are in fat cells of folks who eat polyunsaturated fatty acids and highly-unsaturated fatty acids.
Might as well use ionizing radiation to waste away flesh.

IL33 is released in response to Yellow Fat Disease — “curing” it by causing asthma, allergies, endometriosis, and a wide range of inflammatory diseases.
Yes, IL33 is stimulated by cold, but epithelial ovarian cancer works even better.
Cold therapy used for weight loss recruits heat shock proteins, as does heat therapy for cancer therapy.
There’s no such thing as cold — temperature is the loss or gain of heat.
Heat shock proteins are created by either profound lack of heat (very cold) or profound gain of heat (very hot).

Brown Fat super-metabolizes — but at a cost.
What do excess nutrients (overeating) and exposure to cold have in common?
They both create ROS (reactive oxygen species) “potentially causing damage to cellular components and cell death.”
I personally walk big circles around biohacking leptin with cold thermogenesis because “ROS production in the mitochondria can lead to damage to macromolecules throughout the cells, including nuclear DNA, membrane lipids, and proteins.”
Damage to membrane lipids = weight loss.

What about the iron in brown fat?
Iron is necessary for life, isn’t it?
Yes, but the iron in brown fat tends to go rogue, causing FERROPTOSIS: iron-dependent cell death.
Ferroptosis is “inappropriate iron chelation as a major contributor to the etiology of vascular and other progressive inflammatory and degenerative diseases.”

Yellow Fat and Yellow Fat Disease have as much in common as a horseshoe and a horseshoe crab.
Yellow Fat is the normal canary yellow fat found in both chickens and human beings.
Beef fat is white.
<>
Yellow Fat Disease is a fat-cell disease of just about any creature on earth that has anything to do with PUFAs and HUFAs.
It causes both yellow and white fat cells to become inflamed and discolored — yellow-orange, yellow-brown, orange-brown, etc.
Indicators of Yellow Fat Disease involve the entire body, not just its fat cells …
“hyperesthesia, painful, nodular-to-irregular subcutaneous masses, neutrophilic leukocytosis, firm and discolored subcutaneous fat, and lobular and septal pyogranulomatous panniculitis with necrosis, mineralization, and ceroid pigment deposition.”
The oxidative degradation of fat cells creates free radicals that attack the entire body from head to toe.

Good question, James! :-D
I might get lazy and recruit this reply for my next blog entry.
