6:35 INESA PONOMARIOVAITE – CEO, 369 WELLNESS CENTER

Inesa Ponomariovaite’s own life changed the day she received an early morning phone call from Lithuania. On the other end of that call was her mother. “Inesa, I’m dying. I have cancer.” Brokenhearted, Inesa was determined to help her mother in any way possible. She began exploring holistic practices and products, looking for anything that offered solutions. This led to her learning about the endocannabinoid system and other ways to restore people to good health.

Inesa has dedicated over four years to studying health and wellness, becoming an industry expert. With a passion to help her mother, Inesa sought support from experts all over the world. Her standards were high. She wanted to create elite products and use proven therapies. Put simply, she needed the best and when the best wasn’t available, she went out and made her own! That was the beginning of 369 Wellness Center.

Inesa and I talk about The Dark Side of Wearables: How Globalists Are Using Health & Wellness to Advance Transhumanism

From cellular phones to FitBits, implants to ingestibles, Inesa Ponomariovaite is seeing severely negative health impacts from constant exposure to wearable technology.

Throughout history, advances in technology always outpace consideration of their consequences. Time after time, we have discovered how to do something well before we even ask whether we should. We are in the midst of just such an ethical quandry regarding perhaps the greatest technological advancement since the creation of the Internet: getting everyone physically connected to it.

8:10 LEGAL ANALYST/AUTHOR: John O’Connor, is author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism

Justice Dept document ties Soros, FBI and Hillary Clinton to Russia collusion prior to 2016 election

John served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases.

Deep Throat’s lawyer discovers the Washington Post betrayed his client—while covering up the real truth about the Watergate scandal.

The conventional wisdom of Watergate is turned on its head by Postgate, revealing that the Post did not uncover Watergate as much as it covered it up. The Nixon Administration, itself involved in a coverup, was the victim of a journalistic smokescreen that prevented mitigation of its criminal guilt. As a result of the paper’s successful misdirection, today’s strikingly deceptive partisan journalism can be laid at the doorstep of the Washington Post.

After Deep Throat’s lawyer, author John O’Connor, discovered that the Post had betrayed his client while covering up the truth about Watergate, his indefatigable research resulted in Postgate, a profoundly shocking tale of journalistic deceit.

In an era when numerous modern media outlets rail about the guilt of their political enemies for speaking untruths, Postgate proves that the media can often credibly be viewed as the party actually guilty of deception. Americans today mistrust the major media more than ever. Postgate will prove that this distrust is richly deserved.

6:35 Tom Giovanetti, President of the Institute for Policy Innovation www.ipi.org a Texas Think Tank – Tom’s latest “Tax Byte” has to do with the Trump Tariffs:

The Coming Fiscal Hit No One Is Talking About

Everyone knows the U.S. faces a number of fiscal challenges. The enormous cost of servicing our national debt, the coming entitlements crisis—these are massive, existential threats to the finances of the United States.

But there is another fiscal hit coming soon that almost no one is talking about. It’s not an existential threat to the nation, but it’s a threat to President Trump’s budget.

At the moment, Republicans are triumphant about the tariff revenue coming into the federal treasury. The Penn-Wharton Business Model estimates that over $125 billion in tariff revenue has been collected in the first half of 2025, and that if this level of revenue continues for ten years, it would result in an additional $2.52 trillion in federal revenue. This figure is roughly in line with Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates as well.

Critics of the tariffs, including yours truly, have claimed that such a huge tax increase on trade, paid by US consumers, would hurt the economy, but the hurt hasn’t shown up so far. As a result, many tarifficionados are confidently celebrating their triumph over the nattering nabobs of negativism.

For some, tariff enthusiasm is overwhelming. Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley says he wants to use tariff revenue to rebate $600 to every American worker. Suddenly, $100 billion in tariff revenue seems to have solved trillion-dollar problems.

But Sen. Hawley should slow his roll. For one thing, the reason tariffs haven’t devastated the economy is that most of them were delayed until August 1. In the meantime, there is evidence that the tariffs are causing higher prices to consumers, which doesn’t come without a cost.

But the real problem with the tariff buzz is that the Supreme Court is likely to find that the tariffs are unconstitutional. In the statute the Trump administration is using as a legal basis, the International Energy and Economic Policy Act (IEEPA), the word “tariff” doesn’t even appear, and whatever actions IEEPA authorizes requires an “unusual and extraordinary threat … to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.” There is nothing unusual or extraordinary about the U.S. having a trade deficit.

And if/when the Trump tariffs are found to be unconstitutional, those who have paid unconstitutional tariffs will be entitled to refunds.

How do we know the tariffs will have to be refunded? Because the Trump administration has already refunded tariff revenue to importers on the several occasions when Trump reversed direction on tariffs.

So the feds might just want to stick that tariff revenue in an escrow account somewhere, because it’s likely inevitable that most of it will have to be refunded . . . to the American businesses that paid it.

8:10 Tom Hogan, former Oracle Executive, author of “The Forever Factor”.

If you’re covering the real-world race to reverse aging — from Bryan Johnson’s daily regimens to Altos Labs’ billion-dollar longevity moonshots — you’ll want to take a look at The Forever Factor, the new book from former Oracle exec Tom Hogan and tech journalist Amanda Iles. This smart, twist-filled techno-thriller explores what happens when the dream of eternal youth meets the ruthless culture of Silicon Valley.

Longevity, Power and the Price of Immortality: The Forever Factor Tackles the Tech Industry’s Latest Obsession

AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2025 — The race to reverse aging is no longer science fiction — but in the gripping new book The Forever Factor, it just might become science gone wrong.

Co-authors Tom Hogan (a former Oracle executive) and Amanda Iles blend real-world science with edge-of-the-seat suspense to imagine a not-so-distant future where the quest to defeat death comes at a deadly cost. Already a #1 Amazon bestseller, The Forever Factor draws eerie parallels to today’s longevity industry — and dares to ask how far people are willing to go to live forever.

The Forever Factor introduces readers to Petra Alexander, a brilliant young bioscientist and mathematical wiz. Driven to find a cure for a rare rapid-aging disease that killed her sister in her prime, Petra’s research leads to the discovery of a previously unknown protein at the core of the aging process.

To bring her discovery to the world, she’s reluctantly forced to enter the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley startups. Using innovative AI-based simulations, she and her team of talented scientists work to manipulate the protein to halt — or reverse — the aging process.

But powerful forces — from Big Pharma to the U.S. government — fearing the social, environmental and financial implications of her discovery, sabotage her efforts at every turn, with deadly consequences.

Packed with gripping suspense and nuanced ethical dilemmas, The Forever Factor offers a realistic glimpse into the startup culture that shapes the world. From clandestine yacht gatherings to high-stakes negotiations in Silicon Valley boardrooms, the novel intertwines scientific breakthroughs, corporate intrigue and human drama in a narrative that will leave readers questioning the very nature of life, mortality and innovation.

Fans of Michael Crichton’s techno-thrillers and Blake Crouch’s speculative fiction will find themselves captivated by this smart, fast-paced tale that dares to ask: Should anyone be allowed to master immortality — or does the pursuit threaten the very future of humanity?

8:10 Captain William E. Simpson from www.WildHorseFirebrigrade.org

Bill and I discuss the following report about saving the wild horses via a new model of management in order to save them from genetic damage.

This is a long read. And we know from talking to many different people there are two kinds of people; ‘low information’ people, who don’t read much and are merely informed by limited information (I.E. article titles, TV news or a paragraph), and the folks who are well informed because they do read into the data.

I hope this important factual report is well-read so we can save American taxpayers $-billions annually by implementing a new model for managing America’s remaining wild horses, before they are permanently and irreversibly genetically damaged by the ongoing gross mismanagement, as clearly and factually demonstrated by this report.

I am uncertain as to who at the BLM & USFS provides the erroneous information about wild horses to Congress and our elected officials, but we can guess. The gross misrepresentation that continues to be made by the BLM and USFS are a clear violation of the Public Trust and are arguably criminal violations.

To be blunt, elected officials and the American people have been lied to.

Here is hard data, sourced directly from the BLM’s (and USFS) own public data, tedious work that nobody wanted or cared to do. These are indisputable hard facts and totally conflict with the inferences being made by these taxpayer funded agencies and many misinformed people.

Furthermore, the BLM intentionally manages 2/3 of all American wild horses in one small state, Nevada, which creates an expensive and ecologically problematic situation and controversy for all stakeholders.

The ratio of total authorized livestock (cattle and sheep) to wild horses on BLM and USFS public lands is approximately 67:1 (4,087,295 livestock to 60,897 wild horses). This indicates that for every wild horse, there are about 67 livestock animals grazing on these lands. This disparity highlights differing management priorities, as livestock grazing is widespread across public lands, while wild horse habitats are limited to designated areas.

Report on BLM Herd Management Areas (HMAs) for Wild Horses

By: William E. Simpson II

Executive Summary

This report provides key facts on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Herd Management Areas (HMAs) related to wild horses in the United States. It covers the total number of operational HMAs, details on HMAs with fewer than 100 horses and fewer than 150 horses based on the latest available data, the historical count of HMAs that have been zeroed-out since the passage of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, data on the minimum number of natural non-sterilized horses required to maintain genetic heterozygosity based on IUCN guidelines, notes on how current BLM management practices conflict with the agency’s own Wild Horse and Burro Handbook, livestock grazing on BLM and USFS public lands and the ratio to wild horses, and addresses allegations regarding overgrazing by wild horses on public lands. Data is sourced from BLM’s 2025 Wild Horse and Burro Population Estimates as of March 1, 2025, the BLM Wild Horses and Burros Management Handbook (H-4700-1), IUCN-related guidelines, BLM and USFS grazing reports, and other relevant scientific sources.

Total Number of BLM Operated HMAs

The BLM currently operates a total of 175 Herd Management Areas (HMAs) across various states in the western United States. These areas are designated for the management and protection of wild horse and burro populations under federal law.

HMAs with Less Than 100 Horses

According to the BLM’s 2025 population estimates, there are 46 HMAs with fewer than 100 wild horses. These areas span multiple states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and New Mexico. The table below lists the names, locations (by state), and estimated horse populations for each of these HMAs.

Number of HMAs Zeroed-Out Since the 1971 Act

Since the inception of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, a total of 172 HMAs have been “zeroed-out.” This term refers to areas where wild horse or burro populations have been entirely removed or reduced to zero, often due to management decisions, environmental factors, or policy changes, resulting in the loss of protected status for those herds in those specific areas.

HMAs with Less Than 150 Horses

According to the BLM’s 2025 population estimates, there are 65 HMAs with fewer than 150 wild horses. This includes all HMAs listed in Section 2, plus additional HMAs with populations between 100 and 149 horses. These areas span multiple states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.

Note: Populations of 0 indicate HMAs where no wild horses are currently estimated to reside, though they remain designated management areas. This list combines data from BLM sources to provide a comprehensive view.

Minimum Number of Natural Non-Sterilized Horses Required to Maintain Genetic Heterozygosity Based on IUCN Data

Based on IUCN guidelines and associated research for wild equid populations, the minimum effective population size (Ne) to maintain genetic heterozygosity and avoid inbreeding depression in the short term is 50 individuals, while for long-term viability and adaptability, it is 500 individuals. For wild horses specifically, due to their social structure (harem-based breeding where not all individuals breed equally), the total census population needed to achieve an Ne of 50 is approximately 150-200 natural, non-sterilized adults to ensure sufficient breeding and genetic exchange. This allows for maintaining at least 90% of genetic diversity over generations, as per equid-specific studies and IUCN-aligned recommendations. Sterilization reduces the effective breeding pool, further increasing the required total population size.

Conflicts Between Current Management and the Wild Horse and Burro Handbook

Current BLM management practices conflict with the agency’s own Wild Horses and Burros Management Handbook (H-4700-1) in several ways. The handbook recommends a minimum population size of about 150-200 animals per HMA to maintain genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding, yet 65 HMAs currently have fewer than 150 horses, putting these herds at risk of genetic loss and violating guidelines for self-sustaining populations. Additionally, the handbook emphasizes management at the “minimum feasible level” to preserve free-roaming behaviors and natural herd dynamics, preferring reversible fertility controls like PZP over permanent sterilization. However, BLM’s use of permanent methods such as gelding (castration) of stallions and exploration of spaying mares alters natural breeding behaviors and social structures, potentially undermining self-sustaining herds. The handbook notes that safe, humane female sterilization is not yet perfected and stresses avoiding practices that restrict genetic interchange or rely on excessive interventions, yet ongoing high removal rates and low AML settings in many HMAs contradict these principles, prioritizing other land uses over the Act’s mandate for natural, thriving populations.

Livestock Grazing on BLM and USFS Public Lands and Ratio to Wild Horses

This section details the estimated number of cattle and sheep authorized to graze on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) public lands, based on the latest available data. It also calculates the ratio of total livestock (cattle and sheep) to wild horses on these public lands. Livestock figures represent authorized grazing levels, which may fluctuate seasonally and do not include other species like goats (often grouped with sheep). Wild horse populations are on-range estimates as of March 1, 2025, for BLM and the most recent USFS data (approximately 2025). Note that while BLM manages the majority of wild horses, USFS oversees some territories; the combined figures provide a comprehensive view of public lands under these agencies.

Livestock on BLM Lands

Cattle (including yearlings and bison): Approximately 1,500,000
Sheep (including goats): Approximately 550,000

These estimates are derived from BLM’s FY2024 Public Lands Statistics, based on authorized Animal Unit Months (AUMs).

Livestock on USFS Lands

Cattle (including calves): 1,247,532
Sheep (including lambs): 789,763

These are authorized head counts from USFS’s FY2019 Grazing Statistical Summary, the most recent comprehensive data available as of July 2025.

Total Livestock on BLM and USFS Lands

Total Cattle: 2,747,532
Total Sheep: 1,339,763
Combined Livestock: 4,087,295

Wild Horses on BLM and USFS Lands

BLM-Managed Wild Horses: 53,797 (as of March 1, 2025)
USFS-Managed Wild Horses: Approximately 7,100
Total Wild Horses on Public Lands: Approximately 60,897

Ratio of Livestock to Wild Horses

Addressing Allegations of Overgrazing by Wild Horses on Public Lands

Allegations that wild horses are the primary cause of overgrazing on BLM and USFS public lands are unfounded and contradicted by extensive data and scientific analyses. Instead, overgrazing is predominantly attributed to livestock grazing, which occurs at far greater scales and intensities than horse activity. According to a 1990 U.S. General Accounting Office report, the primary cause of rangeland degradation is poorly managed domestic livestock, particularly cattle and sheep.

A 2024 analysis by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) of 21,000 BLM grazing allotments found that livestock overgrazing was a significant factor in 33% of failing allotments (affecting 38 million acres), while horses were cited in less than 1% of cases. Multiple sources, including PEER, Western Watersheds Project, and the Center for Biological Diversity, confirm that livestock grazing damages vegetation, soils, riparian zones, and water quality, exacerbating erosion, biodiversity loss, and climate change effects.Forage allocation further debunks these claims: BLM allocates approximately 8.4 million AUMs annually to livestock, compared to just 320,000 AUMs for wild horses and burros—meaning livestock receive 96% of available forage while horses get only 4%. A National Academy of Sciences study found that livestock consume 70% of grazing resources on public lands, while wild horses account for less than 5%. Wild horses are highly mobile, grazing 5-10 miles from water sources on rugged terrain, which minimizes localized damage compared to livestock, which concentrate near water and can uproot vegetation. Horses also contribute positively by dispersing seeds and enhancing soil health.These allegations often serve to deflect from livestock impacts, as wild horses occupy only a fraction of public lands (about 10%), while livestock grazing covers over 80% without horses present. Scientific evidence, including from the Animal Welfare Institute and American Wild Horse Conservation, shows that horses are not overpopulating or starving en masse; instead, BLM’s focus on removals may artificially inflate growth rates through compensatory mechanisms.

While unmanaged horse populations can cause localized issues, the data overwhelmingly points to livestock as the dominant driver of overgrazing, underscoring the need for balanced management prioritizing ecological health over commercial interests.

Sources and Methodology

Data on current HMAs and populations is derived from the BLM’s official 2025 Wild Horse and Burro Population Estimates (as of March 1, 2025).
Historical data on zeroed-out HMAs is based on cumulative records since 1971.
Genetic viability and management guidelines are from the BLM Wild Horses and Burros Management Handbook (H-4700-1) and IUCN-related sources on minimum viable populations.
Livestock data is from BLM’s FY2024 Public Lands Statistics and USFS’s FY2019 Grazing Statistical Summary.
Overgrazing analysis draws from GAO reports, PEER studies, National Academy of Sciences findings, and other cited sources.
This report is current as of July 28, 2025, and may be subject to updates based on future BLM surveys or policy changes.

Great read about PALANTIR from AAPS’s Monthly Newsletter – https://aapsonline.org/aaps-news-august-2025-palantir/

6:35 Tim Graham, Executive Editor, NewsBusters

Tim Graham’s new column at Fox News takes aim at the glaring hypocrisy of the mainstream media, accusing networks of burying explosive revelations from Tulsi Gabbard about the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative—despite having spent years hyping it. Graham argues that the networks aren’t correcting the record—they’re protecting their partisan narrative.

Graham’s Point of View:

The networks devoted over 2,284 minutes to Russiagate coverage during Trump’s presidency, but ignored or downplayed recent disclosures from DNI Tulsi Gabbard showing the Obama administration may have framed Trump.

ABC and NBC gave zero coverage, while CBS gave just 41 seconds to the Gabbard memo—despite its major implications.
Media outlets dismiss evidence as “without evidence” when it doesn’t align with their anti-Trump framing—even when documents are provided.
The press treats Democrat leaks as “journalism” and Republican disclosures as “partisan,” reinforcing a double standard in political reporting.
Russiagate wasn’t just news—it was a media-manufactured narrative, weaponized to damage Trump and celebrated with awards, while positive Trump accomplishments were deliberately ignored.

And the Trump administration is now stepping into the debate. “We believe AI systems should operate free of ideological bias and avoid pushing socially engineered agendas,” said David Sacks, the administration’s AI and Crypto Czar. “We’ve introduced several proposals to ensure AI stays truth-seeking and trustworthy.” Recently, I saw this bias unfold in real time.

Last week, a user on X asked Grok whether more guns make Americans safer. Grok responded flatly: “No, evidence shows more guns correlate with higher firearm homicides and violent crime rates.” The chatbot dismissed self-defense and deterrence, referring to my research – specifically my “more guns, less crime” theory – as something cited by “right-wing advocates.” Grok supported its claims by referencing Scientific American magazine and a RAND Corporation review, saying these sources show guns don’t reduce crime and instead increase violence. Those answers are misleading and wrong. [more…]

Mt. Shasta

By Dennis Powers

Located 40 miles south of the California-Oregon border in lightly populated Siskiyou County, Mt. Shasta is 14,162 feet high and managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. As the second highest volcano in the continental U.S., this prominent landmark rests beside the historic Siskiyou Trail–an ancient Indian trade route between California’s Central Valley and Pacific Northwest–which Interstate 5 now partially follows.

The volcano has erupted at least once each 800 years during the last 10,000 years, the last one occurring in the 1780s. These eruptions have formed lava domes, lava flows down its slopes, and massive mudflows extending over 25 miles into the valley. Geologists warn that future eruptions could wipe out the towns along Shasta’s base, and several hot sulphur springs near the summit indicate that the mountain is still active. Such an eruption, however, is not deemed at this time to be very likely.

Led by Captain E. D. Pearce of Yreka, an eight-man party in 1854 made the first recorded, successful ascent of the summit. Rising nearly 7,000 feet above the timberline, the grassy tundra areas, large rocky fields, and glaciers prominently cover most of a treeless region on that route. Owing to being 10,000 feet above land, the mountain is famed for its prominent and widely-photographed lens-shaped clouds.

Although severe weather conditions can occur year-round, it is not a difficult mountain to climb. At least 50 people have died over time when climbing the slopes, however, owing to falling rocks, becoming disoriented and slipping over the wrong side, or from hypothermia. Some 5,000 people–increasing each year–reach the summit each year.

Like so many awe-inspiring mountains, Mount Shasta is the focus of numerous legends, myths, and stories. Native American lore held that Shasta is inhabited by the spirit chief Skell, who descended from heaven to the summit. Since then, many other faiths are attracted here–from Buddhists to New Age groups–and more than any other Cascade volcano.

Some believe that survivors of Lemuria, another lost continent that sank under the Pacific Ocean with Atlantis (owing to a thermonuclear war between the two), live within the mountain in a city named Telos. An 1894 novel, A Dweller on Two Planets (written by Frederick Spencer Oliver), tells the story of how Lemuria sank and its people traveled there. Oliver claimed that Lemurians lived in an underground complex of tunnels, were seen walking on the surface in white robes, and were a super-human race that could change from the physical to a spiritual state.

Arguing that aliens use the cloud camouflage to hide their spaceships, some consider it to be a UFO landing site, or have seen everything from Lemurians to Yetis. It is not surprising that New Agers view Mt. Shasta as an energy-power center. When a unique planet alignment occurred on August 16–17, 1987, Mt. Shasta was one of the few centers selected (along with the Egyptian pyramids, New Mexico’s Chaco Canyon, Mt. Olympus in Greece, Machu Picchu in Peru, and Mt. Fuji in Japan, among others) as part of the first worldwide, synchronized meditation. Believing Shasta to be one of the prescribed, worldly acupuncture points for “cleansing energy,” 1,000 people camped on its slopes that Friday night and another 1,000 packed the area’s 15 hotels, all there for the long-awaited planetary purification.

Although the 1987 Harmonic Convergence is recognized annually, the 25th anniversary was held in 2012. The activities included “ascension preparation and activation” workshops, channel teachings, new healing tools, vendors, music, sacred dances, a concert, and a group ascension ceremony on Mt. Shasta.

This mountain apparently has something for everyone.
