• #Israel is considering an unconventional plan to address the issue of Hamas's underground tunnels in #Gaza, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Israeli Defense Forces reportedly strategically placed large seawater pumps near the Al-Shati refugee camp, intending to flood the extensive tunnel network with seawater.

    The deployment of at least five pumps capable of drawing water from the Mediterranean Sea could flood the tunnels within weeks, according to the report. This approach aims to force Hamas fighters out of their subterranean hideouts. However, the tactic reportedly raised concerns about potential repercussions on Gaza's freshwater supply and overall infrastructure.

  • If you suffer from back pain, I suggest you do what I did:
    1.) get your atlas fixed www.atlantotec.com/en (most important step), also see
    http://meulengrachtforum.altervista.org/forum/index.php/topic,1154.msg4060.html#msg4060
    2.) buy a good inversion table
    https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=inversion&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ainversion
    Make sure you buy a high quality, stable one to make sure that there is no risk involved.
    Inform yourself about possible contraindications (there are a few) BEFORE you buy an inversion table! For example: obesity, glaucoma, retinal detachment, conjunctivitis, pregnancy, spinal injury, cerebral sclerosis, swollen joints, middle ear infection, high blood pressure, hypertension, recent stroke, TIA, heart or circulatory disorders, hiatus hernia, ventral hernia, bone weakness, use of anti-coagulants including aspirin.
    also watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GUW4psHJ0k
    READ THE MANUAL BEFORE YOU USE IT!!!
    Start SLOWLY, gradually increase the inclination!
    3.) Get the rene quinton seawater ampullas, the ISOtonic version, for example from the french pharmacy at https://anonym.to/?https://www.purepara.com/fr/vitalite/26923-quinton-isotonic-30-ampoules-3401572062422.html or search for the cheapest source for your location!
    These ampullas are said to be able to refill the liquid inside your intervertebral discs (which is something medicine "officially" CANNOT do as far as I heard) by simply drinking them, therefore "automatically" reducing back pain! I have a few german articles about this, no english ones, sorry, for the german articles see my german health tips, "Tipps gegen Rückenschmerzen", here:
    http://meulengrachtforum.altervista.org/forum/index.php/topic,1055.msg3784.html#msg3784
    The method is called "Mesotherapie" in german ("mesotherapy" in english) or another english term is "NCP-therapy" ("Nutrition-Circulation-Plasma-therapy"). I heard that people pay a lot of money to drive to doctors who then administer these ampullas by infusion, but I heard that this is not necessary regarding the rehydration of the vertebral discs, drinking the content of the ampullas should be sufficient to refill the discs, I guess these doctors do not want their patients to know that ;-)
    4.) try a kneeling chair, for example "varier balans". And/or get a high table so that you can work while standing!
    5.) If you have back pain of unknown origin, I strongly suggest you get the FREE ebook by Dr. Charlie Johnson, see
    https://www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/
    and study it thoroughly!
    This should REALLY help you to determine the real SOURCE of your back pain! Also watch Dr. Johnsons youtube videos once you found out what triggers your back pain:
    https://www.youtube.com/@drcharliejohnson/videos
    If it turns out that you have sciatic pain, you can try the exercises at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbZzeO4P9YA, they should help immediately!
    But also check out everything that Dr. Johnson has to say about all this!!
    You should also try squatting (as already mentioned in the earthing section):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXP_FH5TF4
    see https://www.naturesplatform.com
    6.) I recently learned through a german youtube video by "Liebscher & Bracht" ("the pain specialists") that it is a very good idea to sleep on a mattress which is as hard as possible and on a pillow which is as thin as possible or, even better, no pillow at all. They explain this in detail in german here:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRhDC1NfaI8
    You should sleep on your back or on your belly, not sideways, you can slowly "retrain" your body to sleep in these two positions. Turning is natural, thats something your body wants to do for various reasons, for example because of the so called "nasal cycle", but try to turn on your back or on your belly when you wake up and realize that you are in the "wrong" sleeping position. Sleeping sideways with a pillow which is too low overstretches the neck area, sleeping sideways is generally not recommended for your entire spine and cervical spine, therefore you should try to sleep on your back or on your belly.
    Regarding the hardness of your mattress, I suggest that you use your slatted frame - if you have one - and slowly set it to a harder setting. If you can still manage the hardness on the hardest setting, you might even consider getting a new mattress which is one grade harder and then set the slatted frame to softest, then slowly make the slatted frame setting harder again.
    Do the same for the pillow - slowly make it thinner, until you reach the "maximum thinness" or even reach the point where you can sleep without pillow at all. You have to sleep on your back or on your belly if you want to sleep with a low pillow or no pillow at all.
    7.) Incline your bed see https://inclinedbedtherapy.com

  • Calif., In the Midst of Yet Another Megadrought, Rejects Desalination Plant Because It Will Kill Marine Life

    Yeah, a human being can only survive without water for about 3 days. Eight to 21 days without food. And well, crops need water to grow.

    But marine life? Apparently, more important than human life according to the Calif. Coastal Commission. https://bit.ly/3MePSiF

    According to Commission's Desalinization "expert", Tom Luster:

    - "The [desalinization] project would kill marine life in about 275 million gallons of seawater per day."

    Meanwhile, about 6 million Southern Californians will be required to dramatically cut water use including outdoor watering, permitted just 1x per week. The goal of a 35% reduction will be monitored by the water district. https://abcn.ws/3PnCjzu

    A desalinization plant in San Diego County, built in 2015, supplies the county with about 10% of its water needs.
    While not the cheapest source of water (about 2-3X the cost of the next cheapest sources), being without it is life threatening.

    But hey, what really counts is fish over people since, after all, we are just another evolved animal, no better than a fish or shrimp, right?

    The citizens of Calif. can always count on their "expert" leadership to have their best interests in mind.

    - After all, there are illegal border jumpers to provide for from public funds too, ya know. ($23 Billion annually https://bit.ly/3LeWHjb )

  • When the good Lord created the Submariner, it was almost 2300 on the 6th Day. An Angel appeared and said, "you're having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model" ?

    The Lord replied, "have you seen the specs on this order ? It has to be able to think independently, yet be able to take orders; have the qualities of both a scientific mind and a Compassionate Heart; be able to mentor juniors; be able to learn from Seniors; run on black coffee; be able to handle emergencies without a damage control manual, respond competently to critical incidents, decipher cryptographic codes, understand pneumatics, hydraulics and sonar; have the patience of a saint, have 6 hands, not to mention have the sttrength of someone 3 times its size.

    The Angel shook its' head and said, "6 pairs of hands --- no way". The Lord said, "don't worry, we'll make other submariners to help, besides it's not the hands that are causing the problem. It's the heart. It must swell with pride when a shipmate earns his golden dolphins - which above all else, signifies the crew members trust it with their lives; sustain the incredible hardship of Life at Sea in a steel tube; beat on soundly when it's too tired to do so; and be strong enough to carry on when it's given all it had. "Lord", said the angel touching his sleeve gently. "stop, it's almost midnight". "I can't", the Lord said. "I am so close to creating something unique. Already I have one whose hands blend knowledge with skill to perform the most intricate procedures, yet have the strength to repair a ruptured seawater pipe. Whose ears can discern the sonar sounds of a myriad of ocean life, yet detect the slightest shift in ventilation; who's mind can practice the science of nuclear submarining, yet not lose sight of the art of teamwork; and whose eyes can peer through a periscope to identify a hull down ship, yet search within to embrace, and personify, honor, courage and commitment".

    The Angel Circled the Submariner model very slowly. "it's too serious", the Angel sighed. "but tough" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this Submariner can do or endure". "can it feel" ? Asked the Angel. "Can it feel ! It loves Ship, shipmates and Country like no other !" Finally, the angel bent over and ran a finger across the submariners cheek. "There's a leak", pronunced the Angel. "I told you, you're trying to put too much into this model". "That's not a leak", said the Lord. "It's a tear". "What's it for" ? Asked the angel. "It's for Joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, frustration and pride", said the Lord. "You're a genius", exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked pleased and replied, "I didn't put it there".

    Filled with great pride, the Lord continued, "great things are planned for this Submariner. It will be one of many, and together, they will lead a legacy of excellence like none has before", and with that, the Lord rested. It was the seventh day.

"There's a leak", pronunced the Angel. "I told you, you're trying to put too much into this model". "That's not a leak", said the Lord. "It's a tear". "What's it for" ? Asked the angel. "It's for Joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, frustration and pride", said the Lord. "You're a genius", exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked pleased and replied, "I didn't put it there". Filled with great pride, the Lord continued, "great things are planned for this Submariner. It will be one of many, and together, they will lead a legacy of excellence like none has before", and with that, the Lord rested. It was the seventh day.
