Translation: don't vote or finance government
Fred Kummerow told America in 1957 that the fat in margarine was turning up in the arteries of the dead. The government acted on it in 2015. He was 100.
He was a biochemist at the University of Illinois, and what he had done was simple and slightly grim. He got hold of tissue from people who had died of heart disease and looked at what their arteries were made of. They were full of trans fats, a kind of fat that barely exists in nature and came, in 1957, from one place: the hydrogenated vegetable shortening and margarine the country had just been told to eat in place of butter.
He published it in Science. He was 43.
What followed was a career spent being ignored by experts. The oil industry had friends on every committee. His funding grew thin. In 1968 he talked a panel of the American Heart Association into warning about trans fats, and the warning was pulped and reprinted without it after the shortening makers saw a draft.
Kummerow kept working. He kept his laboratory into his nineties. And he kept eating, quite deliberately and in front of journalists, the diet he had been told would kill him. Eggs cooked in butter. Whole milk. Red meat. He had looked inside the arteries himself and he had not found breakfast in there.
In 2009, aged 94, he filed a formal petition asking the Food and Drug Administration to ban artificial trans fats. The law gave the agency 180 days to answer. Four years later it had not, so in 2013, at 98, he sued the United States government.
Three months after that the FDA announced it agreed with him. The ban was confirmed in 2015. The gap between his paper and the decision was 58 years, which is longer than most of the people who ate the margarine got.
He died in 2017, at 102.
And he spent those last years on a second warning, which has been received exactly as the first one was. The problem, he said, was never the cholesterol in the egg. It is the vegetable oil in the fryer, heated and reheated until it oxidises, and then eaten.
On the record so far, that one is due to be acted upon in about 2070.
Pro(b.) dumb question but have you fed astra with your mentorship and livestreams to develop a trading agent you can rent out?

The trend reflects an accelerating decline in the purchasing power of fiat currencies...

Imagine believing in the 4-year cycle and expecting bitcoin:native to bottom at $40-50k in Uptober.
And we’re still only in August. ♎️
It's funny you mentioned they live cuz I've had that thumbnail image in my account for very long time....
I also have a business proposal for you that would make me an obscene amount of money and I wonder where to direct it to because I cannot message you.

I just want to say a genuine thank you to everyone who took part in the XO Mentorship.
What was initially meant to run for four weeks ended up continuing from March last year, becoming far more substantial than I had ever anticipated.
It was practically free, but we covered what I consider to be the core foundations of a real trading process. More specifically, the core framework I’ve built and refined over several years through hands-on experience, costly mistakes, and strict accountability.
We worked through the full development cycle of a discretionary trader:
• Building the necessary tracking & review sheets
• Developing a repeatable strategy / playbook
• Reading order flow & refining trade execution
• Managing risk & navigating psychological demands
I also shared some of my own trade execution strategies which many had asked for, and seeing many of you apply them effectively within your own processes has been incredible.
More importantly, the mentorship was about learning how to think independently. How to review your decisions honestly, isolate recurring flaws, refine what works, and ultimately carve out an edge through repetition, data, and deliberate performance review.
These same foundations shaped my own development and played a major role in helping me become successful over the long term.
They are not a shortcut. In my view, they represent the absolute minimum level of structure, discipline, and effort required to give yourself a genuine chance because this is a very hard game.
The most rewarding part has been watching that progression unfold. The quality of your analysis, journaling, market commentary, and independent thinking has improved significantly.
I see so many of you now approach the market with far greater clarity, context, structure, and accountability than when you first joined.
That progress belongs entirely to those who stayed committed, remained open-minded, and did the work.
Teaching also forced me to look inward. Breaking down ideas that had become instinctive pushed me to question, organise, and understand my own process at a deeper level, sharpening my own game along the way.
I’ve already started working on further topics that interest me, so keep an eye out for Jan 2027 for whatever comes next.
Thank you again for taking part, contributing, and trusting the process. I am genuinely proud of the development I’ve seen.
Wishing you all continued progress, success, and prosperity in trading and in life.
Stay blessed.
XO

The Salk polio vaccine was released when the polio epidemic was 98 % done. The POLIO VACCINE DID NOT STOP THE POLIO EPIDEMIC....
check the stats! The histograms of the spread and dying of the epidemic of the 1950s prove this.
Salk's vaccine did not save anyone, and it created the LARGEST CANCER BLOOM IN AMERICAN history! Colon cancer for men, and breast cancer for women.
Research medical propaganda like YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!
Guys they are screaming for your dumbass to be their Exit liquidity in case you didn't notice.
