Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or another mental illness? Millions of people do. The usual treatment is a prescription medication. If that doesn't work, the healthcare provider may offer a different one. Diet is certainly not the first topic on the provider's mind. But what if, in addition to appropriate pharmacological treatment, you were able to nourish, protect and energize your brain with your diet? Our guest offers evidence that you can heal your mind with a ketogenic approach to eating. We need to acknowledge that this approach is quite different from the plant-rich eating pattern advocated by last week's guest, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. Humans around the world have adopted a wide range of dietary regimens that support health. Listen to Dr. Georgia Ede explain why she thinks a paleo or ketogenic diet is helpful for bolstering brain health. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment.

Can You Heal Your Brain with Food? We live in stressful times. More than 50 million Americans take prescription antidepressants, and millions more are on anti-anxiety medication. Unfortunately, while these drugs can be life savers, they don't always work as well as we would like. In some cases, antidepressants are only about 10 percent more effective than a placebo. Dr. Georgia Ede is a psychiatrist who began her investigation into how food affects mental health serendipitously. She was experimenting with her own diet to address some physical health issues. She used a food and symptom journal to discover the best dietary choices for her own health. To her surprise, the “upside-down” diet that helped her feel better physically also improved her sleep and her ability to focus. She started looking into evidence that a paleo or ketogenic diet could benefit people with mental health challenges. What Is Metabolic Psychiatry? There is evidence that people consuming unhealthy diets full of fast food or ultra-processed products are more susceptible to symptoms of anxiety (Nutrition Neuroscience, May 19, 2026). On the other hand, people participating in a supervised weight-loss program using either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a low-fat diet reported improvements in mood (Obesity, Jan. 2007). Those on the ketogenic (Atkins) diet reported less hunger and fewer unpleasant symptoms. Researchers have also tested a ketogenic diet in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (Psychiatry Research, May 2024).  These volunteers also had metabolic disorders, including obesity, which is often an unwanted effect of the ant-psychotic drugs they take to treat their condition. This four-month pilot study saw participants lose weight, reduce insulin resistance and lower their triglycerides. Even more impressive, they had a 32 percent reduction in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. They also reported better sleep and improved life satisfaction. You may find this recent article from National Geographic of interest: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/health/article/metabolic-psychiatry-keto-diet-brain-science. Unfortunately, it might be behind a paywall. How Does Food Affect Our Brains? Most of our body tissues are accustomed to getting energy from glucose, with the help of insulin. However, years of exposure to high levels of these compounds often makes the tissues less sensitive to the effects of insulin. The consequence is that the body–and therefore also the brain–is flooded with high levels of glucose. This exposure can result in the formation of advanced glycation end products in the brain, which can be harmful. The brain evolved to use either glucose or a flexible mix of glucose and ketones. These are the result of burning fat rather than sugar. A paleo diet will naturally provide more ketones and less glucose. Dr. Ede and colleagues have found that a ketogenic diet can be very helpful even for people with relatively serious mental problems. In one study (which was not placebo-controlled), patients hospitalized with severe persistent mental illness were given a ketogenic diet. Most did well and had significant improvements in their depression and psychosis symptoms (Frontiers in Psychiatry, July 6, 2022). Is Ketosis Dangerous? Ketosis itself simply means that you are burning fat as fuel rather than sugar. This can be achieved by following a diet that is high in animal fat, with moderate amounts of animal protein and low amounts of carbohydrate derived from plant foods. Ketosis is not inherently dangerous. However, Dr. Ede urges anyone who wants to heal their brain with diet to ask a healthcare provider to monitor and supervise the process. Prescription drug doses may require adjustment, and people may need support as they adopt a paleo or ketogenic diet. That is why this is not a do-it-yourself approach. Is Coconut Oil Helpful to Heal Your Brain? Dr. Ede described the benefits of medium-chain fatty acids produced in digesting fat. You may recall a video from a few years back in which a doctor described helping her husband recover from Alzheimer disease, at least partially, by giving him coconut oil. Some researchers consider Alzheimer disease to be a form of diabetes because the AD brain does not metabolize sugar effectively. Dr. Ede suggested that the benefits may be real, but getting medium-chain fatty acids from the diet rather than be taking coconut oil might be preferable. After Dr. Ede told us about Fran, who overcame significant memory problems by changing to a ketogenic diet, we hope there will be trials on this. Future Trials on Diet to Heal Your Brain Dietary trials are notoriously difficult to conduct. People often don't stick to the prescribed diet, and it can be difficult to find an appropriate placebo for comparison. Nonetheless, Dr. Ede is looking forward to results from a large trial of the keto diet for people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This study is being conducted in Australia. This Week’s Guest Dr. Georgia Ede is a globally recognized expert in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her 25+ years of clinical experience include 7 years at Harvard University, where she was the first psychiatrist to offer nutrition-based approaches to mental health conditions. Dr. Ede co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness, developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health, and is a recipient of the Baszucki Metabolic Mind Award. Current research collaborations include pilot studies in pediatric bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, and PTSD. Her internationally bestselling book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health is being translated into 11 languages and is recommended by the New York Times Book Review.

Vanessa Lewis spent 15 years cycling through nearly every diet on the market — Atkins, keto, Paleo, Whole30, Jenny Craig, Ideal Protein — and even underwent gastric bypass surgery at over 300 pounds. Despite short-term wins, the cycle kept repeating: restrict, lose weight, plateau, gain it back. In this episode, Vanessa opens up about the health scares along the way (undiagnosed hypothyroidism, nutrient deficiencies, a mental health breaking point, a tumor the size of a baby), and how she finally broke the cycle — not by eating less, but by eating more, heavy lifting, and letting go of alcohol as a coping mechanism. Today she's down over 150 pounds, moved to a size 8, and has completely rebuilt her relationship with food, her body, and her identity.

Worship is a posture of your heart and an overflow of the relationship you are cultivating with God. At the heart of worship is the posture of Heneni - Here am I, ALL of me. It is an awareness of God - who He is and what He has done - and then a whole life response to God. In order to live a life of worship, we need to understand that we were actually created TO worship. AW Tozer said, “The purpose of nature is to lead us to the Creator and to worship Him. The purpose of man's feelings and emotions is to lead to the One who implanted those within the heart of man, to the Creator. Everything in all of creation is to point to the Creator and evoke within adoring wonder and admiration and worship. Wherever we go, we can worship."

What if one of the most important skills we could develop today isn't having more answers—but becoming better at asking questions? In a world filled with constant information, instant solutions, and endless distractions, curiosity can sometimes feel like a lost practice. But today's guest believes curiosity is not just a personality trait—it is something we can cultivate through awareness, attention, and the way we experience our own bodies. Joining me is Beverly Atkins, creator of Pauseture, an app built around the Feldenkrais Method, a movement and awareness practice designed to help people reconnect with themselves through exploration rather than correction. Beverly's journey began with a personal struggle: debilitating back pain that conventional approaches weren't resolving. A single Feldenkrais lesson changed everything, leading her to ask deeper questions about movement, awareness, and how the brain learns. That curiosity eventually led her to complete a four-year Feldenkrais certification program, develop a private practice, and create Pauseture to bring these lessons to a wider audience. Today we'll discuss why questions matter, how awareness changes the way we move through the world, what happens when we slow down enough to notice ourselves, and why curiosity may be one of the most important skills we can strengthen.

Dave Mac Dave Mac is the host of the No Carb Life YouTube channel. He’s conducted over 1,900 interviews with people reversing chronic illness with a carnivore diet, and has personally followed the carnivore diet for nearly four years. Key Quote “I’ve interviewed people that have reversed or seen improvements with glaucoma. And a gentleman that was legally blind — after doing carnivore for a while — he saw his daughter for the first time in 10 years.” — Dave Mac Dave’s Top Tips     Take it one day at a time. Don’t project into the future or think about how you’ll manage it for a year — just focus on getting through today without carbs.     If you slip up, don’t beat yourself up — get straight back on track. Beating yourself up just makes it harder to get back on the wagon; treat a slip as past and move on immediately.     Don’t try to do everything at once. Trying to start carnivore, OMAD, and extended fasting all on day one sets you up to fail. Just focus on carnivore first — the fasting side tends to happen naturally once you’re fat-adapted.

"America was an investment before it was a nation." That idea anchors this conversation between SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and Peter Robinson. Atkins argues that vibrant capital markets are essential to American prosperity and explains why he believes excessive regulation has discouraged companies from going public and innovators from building in the United States. The discussion also covers crypto, disclosure rules, investor protection, and the role of free markets in driving economic growth. Subscribe to Uncommon Knowledge at hoover.org/uk

In the summer of 1976, an Illinois oilman named Ed Atkins received a tape containing an explosive conversation: former President Lyndon B. Johnson admitting to moving stolen gold from White Sands Missile Range to his ranch in Mexico. Discussing the heist with Fred Drolte, LBJ explicitly detailed using a big plane—later identified as a B-24 Liberator bomber—to transport the gold, cementing the tape as a "smoking gun" of presidential theft. However, after Atkins handed the tape to his lawyer, Daryl Holmes, for safekeeping, Holmes died under mysterious circumstances in 1977. Following his death, the LBJ tape and Atkins' White Sands files were the only items stolen from the lawyer's office.This episode begins to dive deep into the origins of these presidential gold heists, proving the corruption began well before the 1973 Nixon theft. We trace the pattern back to the early 1960s at Fort Huachuca in Arizona, where President John F. Kennedy authorized $10,000 in taxpayer money to fund a treasure excavation. When Ed Atkins and his son John finally gained access to dig at the base years later, they found nothing. A base security guard later revealed the shocking truth: the military had previously cordoned off the area and extracted the gold using military trucks and helicopters.At the center of the Fort Huachuca extraction was Bill Shriver, a civilian operative working under military and CIA supervision. Schriever secretly extracted an estimated 3.5 million troy ounces of gold from Fort Huachuca long before civilian treasure hunters were granted permission to dig, laundering the proceeds through a company called Pyramid Enterprises. In a sworn 1981 affidavit, Schriever confessed that a staggering 11 million troy ounces of gold were taken from Fort Huachuca and Victoria Peak combined, exclusively using military aircraft.The pursuit of this truth came with a deadly price. Less than a year after giving his sworn testimony, Bill Shriver was beaten to death in Los Angeles. Ed Atkins himself had been warned that his entire family would be killed if he didn't stop investigating White Sands, and he later died in 1979 under circumstances a CIA operative suspected was murder. Tune in to uncover how Fort Huachuca established the dark, deadly template for presidential treasure theft that ultimately paved the way for the Victoria Peak heist

This sermon explores the story of Elisha and the mocking youths in 2 Kings 2, emphasizing the power of honor and the consequences of disrespect. Through personal stories and biblical teaching, we're challenged to recognize that our words and attitudes toward others. Especially those God has placed in leadership reflect our relationship with Him. The message reminds us that mockery leads to dishonor and destruction, while honoring others with the love of Christ brings life and unity. Ultimately, we're encouraged to honor God by honoring those who are faithfully serving His mission.

Send us Fan MailFire up your flip phones and lace up your Ugg boots—the Back in Time Brothers are taking you straight back to the glorious pop-culture dumpster fire that was 2004! This week, DJ Paulie and Lou are surviving scratchy throats and deep-diving into a year that completely reshaped music, movies, and television. From the neon lights of Las Vegas to the gritty clubs of Scotland, we are breaking down the absolute best debut albums that shifted the culture forever. What's Packed in the Trunk This Week:

In this heartwarming episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back Dr. Dale Atkins to celebrate her new picture book, Dear Deer, a nature-centered story inspired by a true and powerful experience. During a quiet walk in a wildlife sanctuary, Dr. Atkins discovered a distressed fawn trapped in rising water while its mother watched anxiously from the shore. With the help of two local kids, she spent over two hours working to guide the fawn to safety. That real-life rescue, and the deep eye-to-eye connection she felt with the doe, became the emotional core of Dear Deer. Jed and Dr. Atkins explore how time in nature can calm anxious minds, help kids reset from screen time, and build patience, empathy, problem-solving, and resilience. They talk about simple ways families—even in cities—can connect with nature: walking different routes, listening quietly to birds, noticing trees and seasons, taking photos, and even turning those experiences into homemade books. Dr. Atkins also reflects on her "second career" as a children's author and her mission to help families deepen their relationships with each other and with the natural world. In the second half of the episode, Jed chats with Deborah Holt Williams about her delightful debut picture book, Nighty Night Dinos. Deborah shares how a short bedtime poem grew into a soothing, rhyming dinosaur story that helps little ones wind down for sleep. She talks about persistence through rejection, partnering with Familius, and the joy of finally holding her dream picture book in her hands—one that's perfect for dino-loving kids and their bedtime routines.

The Turquoise Butterfly, acts as a resource—for parents, grandparents, and any other champion of the younger generation—to teach researched-backed anxiety coping skills that resonate with children including nurturing intergenerational relationships and building a loving legacy for the well-being of both grandchild and grandparent. Dr. Dale Atkins' The Turquoise Butterfly reminds us to bond with your grandchild or important young person in your life: IT'S ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONSpending time togetherAsk meaningful questionsBe patientSet aside distractions UNDERSTAND THE SPECIAL ROLE GRANDPARENTS PLAY— offering love, wisdom, and stability across generations. MAKE MEMORIES – create meaningful moments (like storytelling, shared activities, traditions and simple quality time) helps strengthen emotional bonds between grandparents and grandchildren. CAPTURE STORIES WHILE YOU CAN: There's a focus on interviewing and recording grandparents' stories — because these memories, once lost, can't be recreated. Documenting them preserves family history and identity. EVERYDAY MOMENTS COUNT - you don't need grand gestures — small, everyday experiences (meals, play, chats) become cherished memories as time goes on. LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS - By making and preserving these memories, families create a legacy that grandchildren can revisit, share with future children and treasured legacy after grandparents are gone. Your relationship with Grandchildren and younger relatives is A DYADIC RELATIONSHIP it's not just about you- it's not just about lecturing, there's a back and forth between two people and you can't always direct it –but you can cherish their perspectives and learn together.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

I've been doing a liver cleanse with my wife for the past month or so. All it really entails is no sugar, no white flour, nothing fried. One glass of lemon water first thing in the morning, followed by a raw blended juice of carrots, celery and parsley. That's it! Yet it got me thinking about every fad diet people chase and abandon: keto, Atkins, paleo, etc. Sure, fast results but then you gain it all back, sometimes twice over. The fad never holds. And somewhere in my own kitchen, craving the very thing I know is killing me, it hit me — we do the exact same thing with our faith.Prosperity gospel. Word of Faith. The new apostles. The endless prophecy clickbait. They've become spiritual junk food — a quick high that leaves you starving and jumping to the next thing, worse off than when you started.This week's broadcast is about the one diet nobody can sell you, because there's no shortcut to advertise: the slow, steady, unglamorous meal of the Word and prayer. It's true sustenance, not a quick high. And it's the only thing that lasts!Grateful you're here.— Pablo------------------------------------------Subscribe to receive future broadcasts and articles at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.serpentsndoves.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-------------------------------------------Share.Forward this post, repost it, or pass it along to someone who might need it.Support.This broadcast is listener-supported.

G'day, and welcome back to True Blue Conversations. Today's guest is Lucas Atkins, a former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer whose 12-year career placed him at the very centre of some of Australia's most significant security operations. Lucas began his policing career protecting high-profile dignitaries, including the United States and Israeli Ambassadors, as well as international VIPs such as the Dalai Lama. His professionalism and dedication soon earned him a position within one of the AFP's most elite close protection teams, where he became responsible for the full-time security of Australian Prime Ministers Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. Lucas was on the ground during the dramatic events of Australia Day 2012, when protests marking the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy escalated into a major security incident. As the threat rapidly intensified, Lucas played a key role in the emergency evacuation of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition from a Canberra venue surrounded by hostile protesters. After leaving the Australian Federal Police, Lucas continued working in close personal protection operations across the globe, protecting clients in some of the world's most demanding environments. Today, he has taken that wealth of experience and founded his own business. But this conversation goes far beyond protective operations and high-profile missions. It's a raw and honest discussion about identity, purpose, and the challenges that so many veterans and first responders face when the uniform comes off. We talk about transition, rebuilding life after service, and finding a new mission beyond the job. This is an episode filled with stories from behind the security cordon, lessons forged under pressure, and a powerful reminder that the toughest battles often begin after the career ends. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the True-Blue Conversations of former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer, Lucas Atkins. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Lucas Atkins Editor: Kyle Watkins

Is Simply Good Foods' Turnaround Strategy Working?

Support us on Patreon!Keto promised something no other diet could: cut the carbs, flip a metabolic switch, and burn fat without counting a single calorie. A magic loophole in human physiology. So does it actually work?This week we trace keto from a deaf Victorian undertaker who accidentally invented the first diet book, to a 1920s epilepsy clinic that turned fasting into medicine, to the bankrupt Atkins empire, to the shirtless guys on TikTok insisting grains ruined their lives. Then we get into the science: what ketosis actually is, why the carb-insulin hypothesis doesn't survive a metabolic ward, what Kevin Hall's lockdown studies really found, and why you should treat "it worked for me" with a grain of ketogenic salt.We also get specific about athletes: what fat adaptation can and can't do and who might genuinely benefit from a low-carb approach versus who's just going to get slower and crankier (Zoë, for sure).rabbit: 10% off with code SUMMERSNACKS10 at runinrabbit.comTailwind Nutrition: 20% off with code YOURDIET20 at tailwindnutrition.comOsmia Skincare: 20% off with code YDS20 at osmiaskincare.comMicrocosm Coaching: work with a real human coach at every level at microcosm-coaching.com

In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm joined by Beverley Atkins, a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and founder of Pauseture, a somatic movement platform helping people reconnect with their bodies through gentle, guided movement.This conversation feels especially important for anyone navigating anorexia recovery, eating disorder recovery, compulsive exercise, body mistrust, or nervous system dysregulation.Many people in eating disorder recovery spend years trying to think their way to healing.Trying to understand more.Trying to control more.Trying to get recovery “right”.And yet the body can still feel unsafe, uncomfortable, noisy, or impossible to trust.What if healing does not always begin with thinking harder?What if healing can begin by learning to notice the body differently?Beverley shares her own deeply personal story of growing up in a larger body, beginning dieting as a child, and spending decades trapped in yo-yo dieting and all-or-nothing patterns around food.In her 30s, that shifted into extreme exercise.She completed three marathons in 18 months, countless triathlons, and eventually Ironman Hawaii in 2009.Looking back, Beverley now understands how undiagnosed ADHD shaped much of her experience.The food noise.The hyperfocus.The perfectionism.The all-or-nothing patterns.The nervous system dysregulation.Everything made more sense through that lens.In 2014, while working at Facebook in a high-pressure environment, her body forced a stop when her back gave out completely.That crisis led her to Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement — a gentle, audio-guided somatic practice she initially tried for pain relief.What she found was something much deeper.This work gradually transformed her relationship with:Her bodyFoodExerciseEmotional regulationSafetySelf-awarenessIn this conversation, we explore:How eating disorders disconnect us from the bodyWhy compulsive exercise often becomes a coping strategyThe link between ADHD and disordered eating patternsWhy meditation can feel unbearable for dysregulated nervous systemsHow somatic movement offers a gentler doorway into healingWhy curiosity is one of recovery's most powerful toolsThe difference between body judgement and body awarenessHow the brain rewires through novelty, attention, and safe explorationOne of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Beverley's perspective on body image.She explains that healing did not begin with loving her body.It began with something much simpler.Paying attention without judgement.Not fixing.Not forcing.Not criticising.Just noticing.And sometimes that neutral attention is where healing begins.This episode is especially for you if:You feel disconnected from your bodyRest feels uncomfortable or frighteningStillness makes you anxiousYou struggle with compulsive movement or exercise addictionRecovery feels stuck in overthinkingYou long to feel safer in your bodyRecovery does not always require more force.Sometimes it asks for less.Less fighting.Less judgement.Less performance.And more curiosity.Instagram: @pausetureFacebook: Pauseture on FacebookWebsite: PausetureIf this episode helped you, please share it with someone who may need it.For deeper support in recovery, come and explore The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle, my recovery membership offering expert guidance, practical tools, courses, workshops, and compassionate community support.You can also find me at Julia Trehane CoachingThank you for listening.With love,Julia xConnect with Beverley Atkins

What happens when life becomes so overwhelming that weight loss feels impossible?In this powerful interview, Julie shares her journey through years of crash dieting, chronic illness, family tragedy, and intense self-criticism ... and the breakthrough that finally changed everything.For years, Julie believed her struggle with weight was a discipline problem. She cycled through diets like Slim Fast, Atkins, and Whole30 while battling feelings of rejection, shame, and inadequacy.Then life delivered what she describes as a "hurricane of life-altering stress."This conversation goes far beyond food and exercise. It's about self-worth, resilience, healing, and what it really takes to create lasting transformation.The deeper problem wasn't a lack of effort.It was the emotional burden she was carrying.In This Episode:Julie's history with Slim Fast, Atkins, Whole30, and other dietsHow fear of rejection fueled her weight loss effortsThe hidden connection between self-worth and weight lossWhy trying harder wasn't solving the problemNavigating weight loss during chronic illnessThe internal self-talk that kept her stuck for yearsThe missing ingredient behind sustainable successJoin Corey's Email Newsletter: https://LoseFatList.comANTI-DIET CLASS: https://AntiDietClass.com

God consistently chooses people the world would overlook. This story is as much about God as it is about Gideon. I want to communicate that God is our ultimate equipper and while we might disqualify ourselves, He is the one who gives us what we would need in purpose and ability. 

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-9-2026.JUNE 1957.Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)Liz Peek examines the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America in blue cities like Seattle and Los Angeles. She argues establishment Democrats fail to counter radical socialist propaganda. Concerns are raised over candidates promoting the abolition of prisons, drug use without judgment, and anti-Israel positions funded by extremist-linked donor groups. (2)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the downing of a US Army helicopter by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. He notes Trump's focus on a potential economic siege over expensive military munitions. Schanzer discusses rumors of IRGCleadership decapitation by Israel and suggests the regime is flailing due to internal disarray and chaos. (3)Jonathan Schanzer discusses the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, noting that Iran's influence is shrinking. He highlights Qatar's role as a state sponsor of terrorism that buys American influence through massive investments, totaling hundreds of billions. Schanzer warns that Qatar and Turkey remain primary patrons for the radical Muslim Brotherhoodextremist group. (4)Mary Kissel addresses the Iranian standoff, emphasizing the threat of "impregnable" nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain. She notes Iran uses the Strait of Hormuz as leverage. Additionally, Kissel praises Ukraine's innovative drone technology for creating a stalemate against Russia and fostering a burgeoning, globally sought-after military-industrial complex within the war-torn country. (5)Mary Kissel highlights a regional trend toward liberty and transparency in the Americas, citing recent elections in Peru, Chile, and Argentina. She credits voters for rejecting failed leftist policies and discusses figures like Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei, the latter implementing a conservative agenda that is successfully reducing soaring Argentine inflation. (6)Joseph Sternberg explains China's reform of the Hukou residency system, which has limited internal migration since the 1950s. By granting migrants access to urban social services like healthcare and education, Beijing aims to reduce high household saving rates and stimulate domestic consumption to revitalize its slowing, multi-trillion dollar communist national economy. (7)Joseph Sternberg describes the UK Labour Party's internal strife as it debates returning to Blairite centrism versus far-left socialism. He critiques Keir Starmer's lack of decisive leadership during an anemic economic period. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is successfully poaching Labour's traditional working-class voters in various important regional British parliamentary by-elections. (8)Gregory Copley analyzes the downing of a US helicopter off Oman, noting strategic differences between American and Israeli objectives. While the US seeks a deal, Israel aims for regime change. Copley highlights the weakened state of the IRGC leadership and discusses how new global oil sources are currently mitigating Iranian threats. (9)Gregory Copley reviews the historical failure of the Jimmy Carter administration during the Iranian hostage crisis. He explains that President Trump refuses to be "Jimmy Carter," instead seeking the total collapse of the IRGC leadership. Copley argues that internal public response in Iran is far more effective than military commando raids. (10)Gregory Copley reports on a rare Ebola outbreak and jihadi threats in Central Africa. He notes that local governments fail to fund necessary healthcare infrastructure, relying instead on outside aid. Additionally, Copley details the ongoing Ethiopian civil war and the complex regional power struggle over control of the vital Red Sea. (11)Gregory Copley discusses Prince Harry's desire to return to Britain due to financial depletion. He notes the lack of trust from King Charles and Prince William, and the dissipated public affection for the Duke. Copley also references his new book on the authority and success of constitutional monarchy as practiced today. (12)Josh Blackman traces the modern history of the death penalty from the 1972 Furman case to 1976's Gregg v. Georgia. He critiques the "evolving standards of decency" doctrine used by the Warren Court, arguing it reflects the views of elites rather than the constitution or the broader American general voting public. (13)Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)Peter Huessy discusses US plans to deploy nuclear-capable F-35s in Europe to counter Russian threats. He explains Russia's "escalate to win" doctrine involving low-yield battlefield nukes for "surgical" strikes. Huessy warns that Russiapossesses thousands of non-strategic weapons, far exceeding current NATO theater capabilities and its lack of transparent weaponry numbers. (15)Peter Huessy details China's growing non-strategic nuclear arsenal and dual-use delivery systems. He explains that Beijing believes it can control escalation to keep the US out of the Western Pacific. Huessy emphasizes that NATOlacks a comparable response in Asia, as the US withdrew similar theater weapons in 1991. (16)
