Big Pharma companies are making a fortune, and they have no corporate desire to pay for research that would help eradicate any of the diseases they’re profiting from. Why would they want to eliminate intellectual properties that generate a never-ending cash stream? They wouldn’t, and they won’t.
I have written on this topic many times and will do so again right here: until the profit incentives for pharmaceutical companies are removed from the healthcare equation, no cures for diseases will ever be forthcoming.
As long as medicine continues to operate under a free-market capitalist system, human health will always be treated as a commodity, and pharmaceutical companies will feel obligated to maximize shareholder profits.
Capitalism in medicine inherently discourages attempts to invent cures for anything. This is a simple fact, and anyone who disagrees is either delusional or doesn’t understand how the free market operates.
In our current capitalistic medical system, lifetime customers who possess chronic incurable diseases requiring lifelong medical management are more desirable than the prospect of a financial return coming from a one-time cure.

First, the pharmaceutical industry creates a plethora of drugs that destroy pancreatic tissues, which creates an epidemic of diabetes and obesity in the entire population…
... then, the same pharma companies create new drugs designed to emaciate the victims of the first set of drugs.
The pharmaceutical industry is killing millions upon millions of people and laughing all the way to the bank!

The simulation hypothesis, which I have been writing about for a long time, is widely seen as nothing more than science fiction or, at best, a philosophical curiosity. Still, I am convinced that what I have stumbled upon might, in fact, be the mother of all conspiracies.
My theory is that Earth isn’t just a simulation but a closed-loop behavioral farm designed by an interdimensional, non-human group hell-bent on solving a specific problem.
In this idea, we human avatars are fragments of a soul collective from a dying or near-dead timeline that has exhausted every natural resource in another game: another matrix. To survive, the collective created a massive, recursive simulation that we find ourselves in currently to find the exact “divergence point” where that society ultimately failed.
I believe that the simulation here is not a passive observation; it is an active extraction process. Every intense human emotion generates a unique form of “emotional data” that the controlling powers use as a fuel source to power their decaying physical world in another venue.
This explains, in my view, systemic suffering: our controllers don’t want a utopia because a contented population produces flat, useless data that can not be turned into vitally important energy. Instead, they intentionally spark wars, pandemics, and economic collapses to spike the soul collective’s emotional output, which produces the energy they covet.
To keep us avatars from noticing the identifying patterns, the controllers use “The Elites”, a small group of humans within the simulation with slight administrative privileges (wealth, power, and longevity), to keep the human population distracted. These elites are the ones who create publicized conspiracies, like aliens, secret societies, and hidden bunkers, to act as intentional background noise. They leave the curious a trail of fake breadcrumbs to follow, ensuring anyone who suspects the truth spends their life chasing a shadow government instead of looking for and studying the actual codes of the game Matrix.
The ultimate reality connected to this theory is the “Reset Clock.” When the simulation reaches a critical threshold where the avatars become too aware of the current loop or civilization set, the controllers don’t just turn it off; they hard-reset it, wiping the game and starting the timeline over.
Every “Great Flood,” “Dark Age,” or “Mass Extinction” event in our history wasn’t a natural disaster but a hard reset of a particular game chapter.
It is more than likely, in my opinion, that we are in the final stages of the current chapter, and the “glitches” we see in modern society, the feeling that time is accelerating, the sense of deja vu, and the breakdown of shared reality are signs that the simulation is beginning to approach another termination point, or hard reset.

From Stephanie Bentley to Nathan Wells:
I checked the calendar. There’s a weekend next month when neither of us has to grade papers, meet a client, or pretend the distance thing isn’t a big deal.
I’m not saying you should book anything; I just found a flight. AA-2354
From Nathan:
I’m looking at it now.
From Stephanie:
And?
From Nathan:
I’m trying not to overthink it.
From Stephanie:
How’s that going for you?
From Nathan:
I’m definitely overthinking it. Do you think I should book it?
From Stephanie:
Yes!
From Nathan:
Okay, I’m booking it now!

I know. I just hate how a whole day can happen between us before we get to talk.
Nathan:
Then tell me about it now. Start anywhere.
Stephanie:
Anywhere?
Nathan:
Anywhere. I’m listening.
Stephanie:
Okay. I saw a dog in a yellow raincoat, my students made me laugh, and I wished you were here for all of it.
Nathan:
I wish I had been there, too. For the dog, especially.

My Two Cents…
If you’re still walking around believing that nuclear weapons and ICBMS are real after living through the COVID-19 vaccine psyop, there’s really no help for you.
When will people wake up and realize that the few who control the many are the authors of science fiction stories that, over the years, have become feared technologies and narratives?
If a nuclear weapon hasn’t been used in over eight decades or so, maybe people should get a clue and realize that Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren’t what we were taught in schools, and the nuclear arsenals of all countries are zero!

Even though it has existed for as long as human beings have walked the realm, love remains one of the least understood experiences in our lives.
Practically everyone knows what it feels like and recognizes the symptoms almost immediately when they “fall in love.” Yet no one can fully explain why it happens or why it affects some people more deeply than others.
Love is often described as an emotion, but that definition seems somewhat inadequate. Emotions usually come and go, but love tends to take over.
This phenomenon changes priorities, alters behavior, overrides logic, common sense, and even self-preservation. People who are otherwise careful, disciplined, and practical can suddenly find themselves making decisions that seem completely out of character.
Those who become compromised will go to extreme measures to spend a few hours with someone they barely knew a few days prior.
Some of us take enormous risks for people they barely know and attempt to rearrange their entire lives for the possibility of a future with, for all intents and purposes, a stranger.
This phenomenon is akin to an infection!
From the perspective of others not infected, the actions of the infected ones can appear irrational. To the person experiencing the infection, however, what they are doing often feels perfectly reasonable.
That’s what makes the phenomenon so fascinating. Once it takes hold, it spreads through every area of a person’s life. Thoughts become preoccupied with things that don’t make much sense, yet in the minds of the infected, that strangeness suddenly takes on enormous importance.
A person’s entire mood can rise or fall based on a single conversation. A smile or glance becomes significant, and silence can cause anxiety and concern.
The person suffering from this condition often knows exactly what’s happening and yet remains powerless to stop it.
Of course, science offers explanations for how hormones and neurotransmitters influence attraction, attachment, and bonding. The brain releases chemicals that create pleasure, anticipation, and emotional connection. While those explanations can help us understand the mechanics involved, they do not fully explain the experience.
Let’s be perfectly honest, chemical formulas can’t adequately explain why one person becomes important while millions of others remain unimportant.
No scientific equation explains why someone can occupy a person’s thoughts for years after they’ve left their lives.
The infection has inspired some of humanity’s greatest achievements and mistakes. Wars have been fought because of the infection, and amazing songs and books have been authored, too.
Businesses and lives have been built and destroyed because of love.
Entire futures have been changed because one person met another person at exactly the right or wrong moment in time.
Perhaps the strangest thing about love is that almost everyone eventually signs up for it again regardless of the havoc it might cause in their lives.
People experience heartbreak and swear they will never put themselves through it again, yet that’s exactly what they end up doing.
The truth is that love remains one of the few things that can not be fully understood from a distance. It has to be lived and experienced.
Love may not be an infection in the traditional sense, but it certainly comes with a plethora of symptoms. And, judging by human history, most of us are willing to catch it regardless of the consequences.
The Matrix is an amazing platform for biological avatars to experience many things that can only be accomplished within the parameters of a 3-D holographic simulation. Love seems to be one of those things.

Sometimes fate intervenes when you least expect it. In Somewhere Between Rome and Home by John Reizer, Americans Nathan Wells and Stephanie Bentley both miss their flights home and find themselves stranded in Rome, Italy.
He’s an architect from Boston, she’s a teacher from Seattle, and somehow they meet at the airport after finding out they have to stay another five days while they wait for a new flight. Then they unexpectedly run into each other again at the same hotel and decide to spend the rest of their trip together.
They wander through the city, talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. What begins as two strangers making the best of an inconvenient situation slowly becomes something neither of them planned. Their conversations move from travel and work to more personal subjects, and the days they have left suddenly seem to be passing much too quickly. What will happen when it’s time for Nathan and Stephanie to leave Rome and return to their separate lives?
Somewhere Between Rome and Home immediately drew me in, and I’m glad it did because this was a great read. Plus, the title was catchy because it rhymed, and I learned there was meaning behind it. Nathan and Stephanie’s relationship grew somewhere between Rome and home.
John Reizer’s writing was descriptive. I could picture them meeting in the airport and feel their connection building as they spent more time together. I was also able to imagine the different places they visited without it seeming like that was all I was reading about.
The pacing worked well, too. This book could easily be finished in one sitting. The star of the show, though, was the chemistry between the two main characters. Nothing about them was rushed. Their conversations, jokes, and quieter moments made it easy to see why they were drawn to each other. The story brought to mind the familiar saying, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And that’s exactly what happened to Nathan and Stephanie.
Anyone who enjoys romance, chance meetings, and tales about two people finding each other at just the right time should pick this one up.
Instead of protecting its citizens from dangerous drugs, the government has chosen to protect those corporations that make the dangerous drugs that harm its citizens.
Common sense should prevail and be used by the various regulatory agencies supposedly in place to protect healthcare consumers. At some point, it should be crystal clear that a product with a ridiculous number of adverse effects on human biology should be withheld from the general public.
There’s this ridiculous idea that’s been accepted and embraced by the pharmaceutical industry and its regulators for decades that it’s okay to license, sell, and market dangerous poisons directly to the public as long as a vaccine or drug maker lists the devastating effects of its products on a label or drug insert.
This nonsense needs to stop, and it needs to stop immediately!

“Target List is done with great attention to cinematic details and climactic maturation of the plot. The topic is timely. The dialogue is good and fits the characters. The action scenes are minimalistic but contextually relevant and come with a feel of action usually seen in TV movies.”
