In this NDS Chronicles episode, David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobster read raw paranormal testimonies while hyping the official Bohemian Grove 2026 event.First story: a man's lifelong black cat “familiar” appears during toxic relationships and leads him to scry in candle flame, hearing the whisper “Scotta” — confirmed in an Akashic Records reading as his Kaliak (ancient Celtic crone goddess) spirit guide from a past life as warlord turned monk in Scotland. They bail on the AI-slop story midway.Second testimony from Jesse (Ontario): his young daughter suffers horrific night terrors — standing, screaming, pissing herself with zero morning memory. After listening to NDS, the family purges Halloween decorations, Matilda, Zombieland, and demonic movies. They discover a witch aunt on dad's side and Freemason great-grandfather (sound editor on Invasion of the Body Snatchers & The Manchurian Candidate). Grandma's medium roommate and her black cat that went feral during her deathbed conversion to Christ seal the spiritual attack.Plus: full Bohemian Grove breakdown — VIP day Aug 7 at Standard Coffee Shop & Casino (live Bible study with Matt, Ed Mabry, possibly Laura Baker, 50-person cozy hang), main event Aug 8 at Wildwood Community Center (400 capacity, stage, merch, bar, live podcast streams), Timothy Albarino costume contest with megalithic prison pose, life-size Kandahar giant photo op, and more.Unboxing includes banana menorah, “It Ain't Gonna Suck Itself” lobster tank top, Dictionary of Angels book, and Dead Sea Scrolls texts.

Exploring how tokenization is reshaping ownership and financial infrastructure In this episode, we discuss an important, and yet misunderstood idea at the intersection of technology and finance: tokenization.

To unpack these questions, Laura Baker, Associate Client Portfolio Manager, is joined by Sébastien Davies, Partner at Primal Capital, focused on early-stage financial and digital asset infrastructure. Drawing on his background in institutional capital markets and digital asset platforms, Sébastien discusses how tokenization is moving from experimentation toward real-world adoption, and what that could mean for investors, institutions, and the future of markets.

The conversation explores private market value, capital efficiency, and why today's uncertainty may present one of the more compelling entry points in years for active investors.

As we age, we can develop a higher risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It may even run in our families for some of us. But hope is not lost: About half of dementia cases are potentially preventable. Host Cristina Quinn walks us through the U.S. POINTER study led by Laura Baker, professor of gerontology and geriatrics at Wake Forest School of Medicine. This study is considered the largest clinical trial examining how simple lifestyle changes like eating healthier, staying socially engaged and moving more can slow down cognitive decline. Cristina also speaks with neurologist Monica Parker from Emory University School of Medicine. Read more about Baker's work with the U.S. POINTER study here.

Dr. Laura Baker, PhD, is a professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the principal investigator of the U.S. POINTER study, a large, Alzheimer's Association–backed trial inspired by Finland's landmark FINGER study. Designed to test whether lifestyle can protect brain health in a diverse U.S. population, POINTER enrolled 2,111 adults ages 60 to 79 across five regions. Participants who were not already exercising or eating a Mediterranean-style diet engaged in lifestyle changes across four pillars: physical activity, nutrition, cognitive and social engagement, and tracking health numbers like blood pressure and blood sugar.In this interview with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Baker traces how POINTER was designed, what a coach-supported lifestyle program looks like in practice, and why community partners matter. She also previews what's ahead — from brain imaging to sleep and vascular findings — and offers practical guidance for caregivers and older adults.—-If you loved listening this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Welcome to another gripping episode of Nephilim Death Squad, where we dive deep into the unseen forces shaping our world. In this discussion, we are joined by Laura Baker, an author and deliverance minister, to explore the significance of cleansing the bloodline and breaking generational curses. This conversation uncovers the hidden spiritual battles that influence our lives and the importance of recognizing the iniquities passed down through generations.Throughout this episode, we examine the biblical foundation of bloodline cleansing, the concept of iniquity in DNA, and how unrepented sins from ancestors can create strongholds in our lives. Laura shares powerful insights into deliverance ministry, exposing the spiritual forces at work and explaining how true freedom requires acknowledgment, repentance, and the application of biblical principles.We also confront controversial topics such as the idea of “Fake Israel” and the misinterpretations surrounding God's chosen people. Laura dissects historical and scriptural evidence to challenge mainstream narratives, offering an alternative perspective on the forces at play in the world today. As the discussion unfolds, we uncover the ongoing battle between light and darkness and the deceptive powers that seek to control society through manipulation and misinformation.JOIN THE PATREON FOR AD FREE EPISODES BEFORE THEY DROP AND BECOME PART OF THE GROWING COMMUNITY OF DANGEROUS RTRDs ON TELEGRAM:https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD:Nephilim Death Squad / SpreakerNephilim Death Squad / YouTubeNephilimDeathSquad / Rumble(@NephilimDSquad) / X(@nephilimdeathsquad) / Instagram(@nephilimdeathsquad) | TikToknephilidsquad@gmail.comX Community: Nephilim Watch https://twitter.com/i/communities/1725510634966560797TOPLOBSTA:(@TopLobsta) / X(@TopLobsta) / InstagramTopLobsta.com / MerchRAVEN: (@DavidLCorbo) / X(@ravenofnds) / InstagramWEBSITES:Nephilim Death Squad | Merchnephilimdeathsquad.com OUR SPONSORS:15% OFFRife Technology – Real Rife TechnologyPROMO CODE : NEPHILIM FOR 10% OFFParasiteMovie.com - Parasite Cleanse and Detox – Parasite MoviePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 10% OFFEmergency Survival Food, Seed, & Supplies | Heaven's Harvest – Heaven's Harvest StorePROMO CODE: NEPHILIM 5% OFFBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.

Videos: How the US Stole Central America (With Bananas) – Johnny Harris   HEALTH NEWS Black cardamom bioactives effective against lung cancer cells Soybean oil causes more obesity than coconut oil and fructose Why breast-fed premature infants have healthier guts than formula-fed ones Even simple exercise may help aging brain, study hintsSmall daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning Body fat can send signals to brain, affecting stress response Black cardamom bioactives effective against lung cancer cells National University of Singapore, August 1, 2022 The main challenges associated with existing lung cancer drugs are severe side effects and drug resistance. There is hence a constant need to explore new molecules for improving the survival rate and quality of life of lung cancer patients. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, black cardamom has been used in formulations to treat cancer and lung conditions. A team of researchers from the NUS Faculty of Science studied the scientific basis behind this traditional medicinal practice and provided evidence of the cytotoxic effect of black cardamom on lung cancer cells. The research highlighted the spice as a source of potent bioactives, such as cardamonin and alpinetin, which could be used in the treatment or prevention of lung cancer. The study is the first to report the association of black cardamom extract with oxidative stress induction in lung cancer cells, and compare the spice's effects on lung, breast and liver cancer cells. The findings could potentially lead to the discovery of safe and effective new bioactives which can prevent or cure cancer formation. The research was first published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Black cardamom is typically used in Asian households in rice preparations, curries and stews either as a whole spice or in powdered form. The spice is also prescribed in Indian Ayurvedic medicine in powder form where it is used for conditions such as cough, lung congestion, pulmonary tuberculosis, and throat diseases.  In the NUS study, black cardamom fruits were powdered and sequentially extracted with five types of solvents, including organic solvents and water. This allowed the researchers to evaluate the best solvents to extract the most potent actives in the fruit. The various types of black cardamom extracts were then tested for their cytotoxicity against several types of cancer cells. These included cancer cells from the lung, liver and breast. Among the three types of cells, lung cancer cells were least likely to survive when tested with the black cardamom extracts. Soybean oil causes more obesity than coconut oil and fructose University of California at Riverside, July 22, 2022 A diet high in soybean oil causes more obesity and diabetes than a diet high in fructose, a sugar commonly found in soda and processed foods, according to a published paper by scientists at the University of California, Riverside. The scientists fed male mice a series of four diets that contained 40 percent fat, similar to what Americans currently consume. In one diet the researchers used coconut oil, which consists primarily of saturated fat. In the second diet about half of the coconut oil was replaced with soybean oil, which contains primarily polyunsaturated fats and is a main ingredient in vegetable oil. That diet corresponded with roughly the amount of soybean oil Americans currently consume. The other two diets had added fructose, comparable to the amount consumed by many Americans. All four diets contained the same number of calories and there was no significant difference in the amount of food eaten by the mice on the diets. Thus, the researchers were able to study the effects of the different oils and fructose in the context of a constant caloric intake. Compared to mice on the high coconut oil diet, mice on the high soybean oil diet showed increased weight gain, larger fat deposits, a fatty liver with signs of injury, diabetes and insulin resistance, all of which are part of the Metabolic Syndrome. Fructose in the diet had less severe metabolic effects than soybean oil although it did cause more negative effects in the kidney and a marked increase in prolapsed rectums, a symptom of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which like obesity is on the rise. The mice on the soybean oil-enriched diet gained almost 25 percent more weight than the mice on the coconut oil diet and 9 percent more weight than those on the fructose-enriched diet. And the mice on the fructose-enriched diet gained 12 percent more weight than those on a coconut oil rich diet. Soybean oil now accounts for 60 percent of edible oil consumed in the United States. That increase in soybean oil consumption mirrors the rise in obesity rates in the United States in recent decades. During the same time, fructose consumption in the United States significantly increased, from about 37 grams per day in 1977 to about 49 grams per day in 2004. The UC Riverside researchers also did a study with corn oil, which induced more obesity than coconut oil but not quite as much as soybean oil. They are currently doing tests with lard and olive oil. They have not tested canola oil or palm oil. Why breast-fed premature infants have healthier guts than formula-fed ones University of Maryland School of Medicine, August 2, 2022 Human breastmilk has long been considered “liquid gold” among clinicians treating premature infants in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). Breastmilk-fed “preemies” are healthier, on average, than those fed formula. Why is that true, however, has remained a mystery. New research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine's (UMSOM) Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS), found it is not just the content of breastmilkthat makes the difference. It is also the way the babies digest it. The research, led by Bing Ma, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at UMSOM and a researcher at IGS, discovered a strain of the Bifidobacterium breve bacteria or B. breve in the guts of breastfed babies who received higher volumes of breastmilk than their counterparts. Those preemies had better nutrient absorptionbecause they developed an intact intestinal wall one week after birth. B. breve was much less prevalent in both formula-fed babies and breastfed babies with “leaky gut.” Babies with leaky gut do not develop a barrier to protect against bacteria and digested food from getting into the bloodstream. For the first time, the team also found that the way B. breve metabolizes breastmilk keeps breastfed babies healthier and allows them to gain weight by strengthening their underdeveloped intestinal barrier. An immature or “leaky” gut can lead to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which is the third leading cause of newborn death in United States and worldwide. In fact, NEC impacts up to 10 percent of premature babies with a devastating mortality rate as high as 50 percent. At the most basic level, the gut microbiome in these breastfed preemies with more B. breve metabolizes carbohydrates differently than it does formula. The researchers say they hypothesize that this process of metabolism then strengthens and matures the intestinal barrier faster, protecting fragile newborns from disease. Even simple exercise may help aging brain, study hints Wake Forest School of Medicine, August 1, 2022 New research hints that even a simple exercise routine just might help older Americans with mild memory problems. Researchers recruited about 300 sedentary older adults with hard-to-spot memory changes called mild cognitive impairment or MCI—a condition that's sometimes, but not always, a precursor to Alzheimer's. Half were assigned aerobic exercises and the rest stretching-and-balance moves that only modestly raised their heart rate. After a year, cognitive testing showed overall neither group had worsened, said lead researcher Laura Baker, a neuroscientist at Wake Forest School of Medicine. Nor did brain scans show the shrinkage that accompanies worsening memory problems, she said. By comparison, similar MCI patients in another long-term study of brain health—but without exercise—experienced significant cognitive decline over a year. But the results suggest “this is doable for everybody”—not just seniors healthy enough to work up a hard sweat, said Baker, who presented the data Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference. “Exercise needs to be part of the prevention strategies” for at-risk seniors. Small daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning Norwegian Research Council, August 2, 2022 A small (57 g) daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning (osteopenia/osteoporosis) without boosting harmful low density cholesterol, suggest the results of a small comparative clinical trial, published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health. The effects seem to be specific to this type of cheese, the findings indicate. Jarlsberg is a mild and semi-soft, nutty-flavored cheese made from cow's milk, with regular holes. It originates from Jarlsberg in eastern Norway. Previous research indicates that it may help boost levels of osteocalcin, a hormone that is associated with strong bones and teeth, but it's not clear if this effect is specific to Jarlsberg or any type of cheese. In a bid to find out, the researchers studied 66 healthy women (average age 33; average BMI of 24) who were randomly allocated to adding either a daily 57 g portion of Jarlsberg (41) or 50 g of Camembert cheese (25) to their diet for 6 weeks.  At the end of this period, the group eating Camembert was switched to Jarlsberg for another six weeks.  Jarlsberg and Camembert have similar fat and protein contents, but unlike Camembert, Jarlsberg is rich in vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone (MK), of which there are several varieties. Every six weeks blood samples were taken from all the participants to check for key proteins, osteocalcin, and a peptide (PINP) involved in bone turnover. Vitamin K2 and blood fat levels were also measured. Blood sample analysis showed that the key biochemical markers of bone turnover, including osteocalcin, and vitamin K2 increased significantly after 6 weeks in the Jarlsberg group.  Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)—-the amount of glucose stuck in red blood cells—fell significantly (by 3%) in the Jarlsberg group, while it rose sharply (by 2%) in those eating Camembert. But after switching to Jarlsberg HbA1c fell significantly in this group too. Calcium and magnesium fell significantly in the Jarlsberg group but remained unchanged in the Camembert group. After switching cheese, calcium levels dropped in this group too, possibly reflecting increased uptake of these key minerals in bone formation, say the researchers.  “Daily Jarlsberg cheese consumption has a positive effect on osteocalcin, other [markers of bone turnover], glycated hemoglobin and lipids,” write the researchers, concluding that the effects are specific to this cheese. Body fat can send signals to brain, affecting stress response University of Florida, July 23, 2022 The brain's effect on other parts of the body has been well established. Now, a group that includes two University of Florida researchers has found that it's a two-way street: Body fat can send a signal that affects the way the brain deals with stress and metabolism. While the exact nature of those signals remains a mystery, researchers say simply knowing such a pathway exists and learning more about it could help break a vicious cycle: Stress causes a desire to eat more, which can lead to obesity. And too much extra fat can impair the body's ability to send a signal to the brain to shut off the stress response. The findings are important and unique because they show that it's not simply the brain that drives the way the body responds to stress, said James Herman, Ph.D., a co-author of the paper and a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati,. “It moved our understanding of stress control to include other parts of the body. Before this, everyone thought that the regulation of stress was mainly due to the brain. It's not just in the brain. This study suggests that stress regulation occurs on a much larger scale, including body systems controlling metabolism, such as fat,” Herman said. Researchers found that a glucocorticoid receptor in fat tissue can affect the way the brain controls stress and metabolism. Initially, such signals from the receptor can be lifesavers, directing the brain to regulate its energy balance and influencing stress responses in a beneficial way.
