Desperate Medical Industrial Complex Attacks Vitamin And Mineral Supplements

It galls the Industrial Drug Complex that vitamin and mineral supplements are a multi-billion dollar a year industry that they have tried, and failed, many times to get control of. You see, it’s not about your health and well-being, its about what it is always about: the money.

For nearly 100 years now, high-quality vitamin and mineral supplements have made amazing improvements to the quality of people’s lives the world over. This author personally attests to the power of said supplements properly taken over the past 30 years. But the American Medical Association and its various minions see vitamin supplements as direct competition to their regimen of highly toxic drugs that come with an incredible number of side effects and drug interactions that kill thousands of people each year.

It further galls the Industrial Drug Complex that vitamin and mineral supplements are a multi-billion dollar a year industry that they have tried, and failed, many times to get control of. You see, it’s not about your health and well-being, its about what it is always about: the money.

Today, organized medicine has taken their strongest shot to date in an attempt to scare people away from taking supplements. As usual, their opinion is biased, slanted and corrupt and as such is rendered meaningless and worthless. In this article they also attack 2-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling,and dismiss his amazing body of work as “quackery”. Why do they call him a ‘quack’? Because Pauling discovered that the combination of vitamin C and the amino acid Lysine can reverse heart disease for pennies a day with zero side effects.

Shame on you, heartless drug companies who only seek after profit. And double shame on you ignorant doctors who prescribe toxic drugs because you get kick-backs from the pharmaceutical companies.

From The Week: Questions about the health benefits of vitamin supplements have been percolating in the medical establishment for decades — even as the multivitamin industry has grown to a multi-billion powerhouse in the U.S. This week, the respected journal the Annals of Internal Medicine put its well-heeled foot down.

All you greedy doctors and drug companies should be ashamed of yourselves for telling lies.

“We believe that the case is closed — supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” the journal said in an editorial. “These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.”

Here’s Dr. Edgar Miller of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, one of the editorial’s five co-authors: “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, things like that,” Miller tells CBS News. “Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.” The only exceptions are folic acid for pregnant women and, possibly, vitamin D — the studies are mixed on its benefits and risks.

Assuming Miller and his colleagues are right — and they base their assertion on three large, recent studies — Americans have been wasting lots of money on vitamins. About half of U.S. adults take dietary supplements, and the vitamin industry has grown to $12 billion a year for vitamins alone and about $30 billion for all dietary supplements. That’s just in the U.S.

How did the vitamin industry convince Americans that they need to bulk up on vitamin A, vitamin C, various forms of vitamin B, and other vitamins or multivitamin supplements? “Vitamin manufacturers argue that a regular diet doesn’t contain enough vitamins, and that more is better,” and most people wrongly assume that “at the very least, excess vitamins can’t do any harm,” Paul Offit, an infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, said in The New York Times in June.

But much of the blame lies with a flawed genius, Linus Pauling, Offit says. Pauling, the father of molecular biology and near-discoverer of DNA, was “so spectacularly right that he won two Nobel prizes and so spectacularly wrong that he was arguably the world’s greatest quack,” Offit wrote inThe Guardian. Starting in 1966, Pauling started evangelizing about the wonders of vitamin C, making outrageous claims about its salutary effects.

In 1970, Pauling published a bestseller, Vitamin C And The Common Cold, arguing that 3,000 mg of the vitamin each day would eradicate the cold. He went on to insist that a multitude of vitamins, including A, E, and beta-carotine could treat or cure a whole host of maladies, from cancer to AIDS. Study after study after study proved him wrong.

Pauling really believed his claims, but the vitamin industry had more cynical motives: Money, asOffit recounted in The New York Times. The Food and Drug Administration proposed regulating vitamin supplements containing more than 150 percent of the recommended daily allowance in December 1972, meaning “vitamin makers would now have to prove that these ‘megavitamins’ were safe before selling them,” Offit continues:

Not surprisingly, the vitamin industry saw this as a threat, and set out to destroy the bill. In the end, it did far more than that. Industry executives recruited William Proxmire, a Democratic senator from Wisconsin, to introduce a bill preventing the FDA. from regulating megavitamins…. Proxmire’s bill passed by a vote of 81 to 10. In 1976, it became law. Decades later, Peter Barton Hutt, chief counsel to the FDA, wrote that “it was the most humiliating defeat” in the agency’s history. [New York Times]

So, thanks to Linus Pauling, money, and politics, Offit concludes, “consumers don’t know that taking megavitamins could increase their risk of cancer and heart disease and shorten their lives.”

But surely consumers play some role in the rise of the vitamin industrial complex. Research about the ineffectiveness of vitamins, or worse, has been around since the 1940s, after all. “People over time and particularly people in the United States have been led to believe that vitamin and mineral supplements will make them healthier, and they’re looking for a magic pill,” Dr. Cynthia Mulrow, another of the Annals of Internal Medicine editorialists, tells Reuters.

And the “magic pill” habit may be hard to break, scathing editorial or no. For what it’s worth, here’s the pushback from the supplement trade group the Council for Responsible Nutrition:

The Annals of Internal Medicine editorial “demonstrates a close-minded, one-sided approach that attempts to dismiss even the proven benefits of vitamins and minerals,” says the group’s CEO, Steve Mister. “It’s a shame for consumers that the authors refuse to recognize the real-life need for vitamin and mineral supplementation, living in a fairy-tale world that makes the inaccurate assumption that we’re all eating healthy diets and getting everything we need from food alone.”

At the end of this CBS News report, the featured inveterate vitamin-taker buys the industry’s argument and declares that, despite the evidence and her healthy diet, she will continue taking vitamins. She almost certainly isn’t alone. source – The Week

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: 2026 Began With An Image Of Antichrist At Mar-a-Lago And A Muslim Mayor Sworn In On A Qu’ran In New York City, It’s Game On!

2026 is off to a wild end times start already and looks to be a year of major prophetic fulfillment as we watch the kingdom of Antichrist coming into view

Everywhere you turn and everywhere you look, everything just seems off, really, really off. We are told that America is right now in a ‘Golden Age’ never before seen in our 250 year history, and not only is that not true, it’s an out-and-out lie, yet a very large sector of our country believe it. We are told America only wants peace, yet we watch as a ramp-up to war takes place around the clock. What’s going on? Is this mass hypnosis, is it mind control, what is it? Hey, Habakkuk, what sayest thou?

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, over at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve, people watched as a female artist live-painted a ‘Jesus painting’, but it wasn’t the Jesus of the Bible. This Jesus had a decidedly Roman Catholic feel, with piercing blue eyes, swirling in a sea of dark colors, and looking for all the world like a portrayal of Antichrist. The assembled crowd cheered as it was auctioned off for $3 million dollars to a Catholic charity. Over in New York City, deep in an underground abandoned subway tunnel, the new Socialist Muslim mayor was sworn in on a Qu’ran. To me, this completely sets the tone for what we might expect to see in 2026. Elsewhere, Trump is launching 6G to connect with human implantable devices, renaming all sorts of pre-existing buildings after himself, and preparing to build the Arch Du Trump in Washington. Elon Musk says 2026 will be the year that his Neuralink brain chips really take off, and Islam is positioned for a level of control this country has never seen before. As if all that wasn’t bad enough, Turning Point USA, whom we showed you with our end of year Podcast in 2025 to be a hotbed of demons and devils, is launching a plan to bring their One World Religion to every church in America. This isn’t Satan’s ‘little season’ we are watching, this is the big show. Today we invite you to join us as we lift up the end times rock to see what’s crawling underneath it. It won’t be a pretty sight, but it’ll be the Truth, and we promise it will be a blessing to you here in 2026.

Trump Signs Presidential Memorandum Directing The Government To Fast Track 6G Development For AI, Robotics And Human Implantable Technologies

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump just launched 6G Development Initiative to fast track technology for AI, robotics and human implantable devices in 2026

Remember how much everyone freaked out when then-president Barack Obama rolled out 5G technology? To say that it caused end times watchers to go nuts might be an extreme understatement. Well, guess what? President Trump just signed a directive to warp speed 6G development specifically where it applies to AI, robotics and human implantable technology. 666G, anyone?

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

In a December 19, 2025 Presidential Memorandum titled “Winning the 6G Race,” the administration says the next generation wireless network (6G) will be foundational for national security and the economy — and then adds this line: 6G will play a pivotal role in “artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies.” It reads like a blueprint for the kind of always-on, everywhere, high-speed, low-latency control grid that Revelation says will one day be used to enforce the most notorious system the world has ever seen: no mark, no commerce. And the memorandum isn’t vague. It’s about carving out and clearing spectrum (radio bands) for 6G — ordering studies and relocation plans with deadlines and specific frequency ranges. Take a look and see for yourself.

On December 11th, Trump didn’t even know what 6G actually was, he thought it was a reference to pixel depth in camera technology. 8 days later he signed the 6G Directive to accelerate the technology with AI, robotics and human implantable devices. Someone make it make sense. pic.twitter.com/Yg1TKEMBGD

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) December 31, 2025

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I Donald J. Trump hereby direct:

Section 1. Purpose. The next generation of mobile communications networks (6G) will be foundational to the national security, foreign policy, and economic prosperity of the United States. This technology will play a pivotal role in the development and adoption of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and implantable technologies. 6G will also provide faster, more resilient, and more secure communication networks that can be utilized for national security and public safety purposes. source

Now strip away the marketing language and it’s largely about making room for 6G by relocating federal users and designating bands for full-power commercial use. But notice what it’s for: not just faster phones. The memo and fact sheet repeatedly frame 6G as the platform that will operate AI, robotics, and implantables at scale.

That is transaction control. That is access control. That is permissioning commerce based on a required identifier, and the absolute perfect setting for the Mark of the Beast. But I’m sure that’s just another ‘crazy coincidence’, right?

Now ask yourself: what kind of technology makes that easy worldwide?

networks that never drop
networks that can authenticate instantly
networks that can handle billions (then trillions) of devices
networks that can merge identity, location, biometrics, payment, and compliance
networks that can support “implantable technologies”

We invite you to join us for our first Podcast of the New Year, Lord willing, this Friday January 2nd 2026 where we will blow your mind in real-time.

2025 Will Go Down For Among Other Things As The Year That Antisemitism Gained A Foothold Not Only In The MAGA GOP But Throughout America As Well

Published

3 days ago

December 30, 2025

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

2025 was a seminal year for antisemitism and anti-Zionism not only across America but within the MAGA Republican Party

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A man walks onto a college campus and says “I’m not antisemitic, I just hate Zionists. Free Palestine.” Pretty funny, yes? Or perhaps not, but either way some form of this “joke” has been told endlessly across the United States in 2025. “I’m not against Israel”, they say, “I’m only against Zion”. They advocate for the cutting off of all funding to Israel, and the establishment of a Palestinian state. And no, I am not talking about Democrats primarily, I am talking about half of the Republican Party MAGA Movement, or whatever they call themselves now.

“The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.” Psalm 128:5 (KJB)

What got me thinking about all this wasn’t something that wasn’t directly antisemitic, but when you think about it for a minute, it becomes quite chilling. Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Trump in the White House over the weekend, where he made a very strange remark. When asked about selling US F-35 jet fighters to Israel’s declared enemy Turkey, Trump said “We’re thinking about it very seriously,” adding “I promise they’ll never use them on Israel,” while walking out of the room. “We’re not going have a problem.” Oh, I see. ‘Trust In Trump’ is it? How could he ever think, in a million years, that giving F-35’s to a country that has threated many times in 2025 to attack Israel could ever be a good idea? It’s a terrible idea, but given Trump’s recent affinity for striking deals with Muslim nations, it makes perfect sense. Just remember, Trump was an avowed antivaxxer right up to the moment he unleashed the COVID vaccine bioweapon. Trump is a lifelong friend of Israel right up to the moment he isn’t anymore.

At the recent meeting of Turning Point USA, antisemitism was on full display with a notable percentage of the participants. “Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads,” Steve Bannon said, to the cheers of thousands. Megyn Kelly said during a talk with conservative influencer Jack Posobiec at the conference that “there was a rift even before we lost Charlie… and it revolves around Israel,” NBC reported. For a group that seemed to speak with one voice when they help reelect Donald Trump last November, this is a paradigm shift to say the least. Take a look at what some of the most-notable influencers are saying now.

Some of the stunning 2025 antisemitic turns by MAGA influencers

Tucker Carlson: The former Fox News host (and current independent media figure) has been a prominent voice criticized for mainstreaming antisemitic ideas and white nationalist rhetoric, often focusing on “globalists” and questioning U.S. support for Israel. He has also hosted known white nationalists like Nick Fuentes on his show.
Candace Owens: The conservative commentator has made numerous controversial comments, including calling Israel “demonic” and promoting anti-Israel conspiracy theories. She frequently uses the term “globalists” to describe a cabal of powerful individuals, a widely recognized antisemitic dog whistle.
Nick Fuentes: A leader of the far-right “Groyper” movement, Fuentes is a self-described white nationalist known for Holocaust denial and overt antisemitic rants, who has gained a following among some younger conservatives within the MAGA movement.
Stew Peters: A far-right conspiracy theorist and podcast host who promotes Holocaust denial and claims that “primarily Jewish-controlled central banks” fund evil in America; multiple congressional Republicans have appeared on his show.
Steve Bannon: An architect of the MAGA Movement, Bannon has been accused of making antisemitic comments and comparing Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro to a “cancer” on the conservative movement.
Megyn Kelly: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused Kelly of invoking antisemitic tropes when she claimed that Jewish commentators Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are “making antisemites”. The ADL stated that blaming Jewish people for the hate directed against them is a classic victim-blaming trope.

Christian, if you are an anti-Zionist, you possess a pathetically-low understanding of the Bible, in either Testament, and should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously. The Bible openly declares that God is a Zionist, and that the kingdom He will usher in during the Millennium will be a Zionist kingdom. If you are anti-Zionist, not only are you antisemitic, you stand in opposition to God Himself. How ’bout that?

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

As we watch America struggling with a very fast rising tide of antisemitism, why don’t you pick a side and stay there? You see, I believe my Bible, and I know how it all winds up, who wins, and how it all will go when the end times dust settles. So here and now, by faith, I stand on the side of the King of the Jews, on the side of His chosen people, the Jews, and with the biblical, and literal, physical, and earthly Zion which is the City of David. Where do you stand?
