Several key animal and laboratory studies showing that EMF exposure can disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—potentially enabling harmful substances like beta-amyloid to enter the brain.

Salford et al. and Follow-up (1994, 2008)

Study: Rats exposed to 915 MHz microwaves (continuous and pulsed) for 2 hours.

Finding: Leakage of albumin into brain tissue—a clear sign of BBB disruption

Result: 56 of 184 exposed rats showed albumin leakage versus 5 of 62 controls

Rahman et al. (2008)

Study: Male and female Wistar rats exposed to 0.9 and 1.8 GHz RF (20 minutes, under anesthesia).

Finding: Only male rats showed significant albumin (BBB) leakage—no effect in females.

Eberhardt et al. (2007)

Study: GSM-900 (mobile phone) radiation exposure.

Finding: Persistent albumin extravasation—both immediately and 7 days after a 2-hour exposure. Effects seen even at low power (0.12 mW/kg).

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Study

Study: Sprague–Dawley rats exposed to 100–10,000 pulses of EMP (50 kV/m, 100 Hz).

Finding: Led to cognitive impairment, oxidative stress, and increased beta-amyloid formation.

Ultra-Wide-Band Pulses (2020)

Study: Rats exposed to broad-spectrum EM pulses.

Finding: Increased BBB permeability noted—tight-junction protein expression and other markers were altered.

Review of RF EMF Effects on BBB (2010)

Finding: BBB permeability increases only when tissue heating >1 °C; evidence for non-thermal RF effects remains inconclusive or mixed.

Connection to Beta-Amyloid & Alzheimer's

EMP exposure not only disrupts the BBB but also elevates amyloid‑β precursor and oligomer proteins.

Once BBB integrity is compromised, beta‑amyloid—central to Alzheimer's pathology—may more easily accumulate in brain tissue.

Study Exposure Effect on BBB Amyloid/Biomarkers Salford et al. 915 MHz, 2h Albumin leakage N/A Rahman et al. 0.9/1.8 GHz, 20min Male rats only albumin N/A Eberhardt et al. GSM-900, 2h Albumin leakage up to 7 days N/A EMP pulses 50 kV/m pulses Cognitive decline, oxidative stress ↑ Aβ protein UWB pulses Ultra-wide EM pulses Increased permeability, protein changes N/A 2010 review RF field overview Thermal BBB breakage possible; non-thermal is unclear

Animal models strongly suggest BBB disruption occurs with certain EMF exposures, particularly at cellular phone frequencies and electromagnetic pulses.

This disruption may enable beta-amyloid infiltration and accumulation, a known factor in Alzheimer’s disease pathology.

However, BBB effects from low-intensity or daily-life EMFs (non-thermal) remain less certain and disputed.

Does Dirty Electricity Contribute to Alzheimer’s?

Possible Biological Mechanisms (Proposed in Studies):

BBB Disrupted Repeated EMF exposure—especially in higher or pulsed frequencies—has been shown in animal studies to compromise the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
This could allow beta-amyloid, toxins, and inflammatory agents to enter the brain.
Oxidative Stress & Neuroinflammation:
Studies on both EMFs and dirty electricity suggest they can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in brain tissue, contributing to neurodegeneration.
Circadian Disruption & Melatonin Suppression:
EMFs, including those from smart meters, may interfere with melatonin—an important antioxidant that protects neurons and regulates sleep.
Electrohypersensitivity (EHS)
Though controversial, some individuals report memory loss, confusion, and brain fog in proximity to smart meters or high-DE environments. These symptoms are consistent with cognitive decline markers.

Do Countries with Smart Meters Show More Dementia?

Not Conclusively Proven, but correlations are being observed:

High smart meter and Wi-Fi saturation countries (USA, UK, parts of Europe, Australia) also report rising early-onset dementia.
But these same countries also have:
Older populations
More screening
Better reporting systems

So while correlation exists, causation hasn't been proven.

Example Comparison (Approximate):

Country Smart Meter Rollout Dirty Electricity Concerns Alzheimer’s Prevalence (65+) USA ~80% of homes High; solar, Wi-Fi, smart tech ~11% (CDC, 2023) UK >50% rollout Similar issues ~7.1% (Alzheimer’s Society) Japan Extensive rollout High population density EMF ~7.3% India Low rollout Lower DE, but more pollution ~1.5–2% (underreported) Rural Africa Minimal tech Low EMF <1% (est.)

What Is Still Needed

Longitudinal studies directly comparing high-smart-meter/DE regions to controls.
Controlled human or animal studies using simulated DE conditions.
Research on cumulative lifetime exposure to DE and early-onset Alzheimer’s (<65).

Bottom Line

The biological mechanisms for a link exist and are plausible.
Dirty electricity and smart meter EMFs could plausibly exacerbate Alzheimer’s risks, especially in vulnerable populations.
But direct proof is lacking—this is a field that urgently needs independent epidemiological and toxicological studies.

Age-Specific Incidence and Prevalence Are Declining

A U.S. study conducted from 2000 to 2016 found that the prevalence of dementia dropped from 11.5% to 7.7%, indicating an approximate annual decline of 3%. During the same period, the incidence rate decreased from around 5% to 3.8%, representing a roughly 2% annual decline.

The Framingham Heart Study, which spanned from the 1970s to the 2010s, reported a 44% reduction in five-year dementia incidence. This decline was especially notable among individuals who had completed at least a high school education.

Across North America and Europe, between 1988 and 2015, dementia incidence declined by approximately 13% per decade.

Total Dementia Cases Are Rising Rapidly

Even though age-specific rates are falling, the overall number of dementia cases continues to rise due to the aging population in the United States. In 2020, approximately 7 million Americans aged 65 and older were living with dementia. This number is projected to exceed 9 million by 2030 and approach 12 million by 2040.

In 2018, Alzheimer’s disease alone affected about 5.7 million people. Forecasts suggest that this figure will rise to 7.1 million by 2025 and nearly 13.8 million by 2050.

Mortality Rates and Death Certificates

Dementia-related mortality has increased significantly over the past two decades. The number of deaths associated with dementia tripled from approximately 150,000 in 1999 to over 450,000 in 2020.

This rise in reported dementia deaths is partly attributed to improved diagnosis and more accurate reporting on death certificates.

Why This Paradox? Factor Impact Better Education & Vascular Care Reduced risk per individual; lower incidence Health Improvements Fewer vascular events; decline in smoking Population Aging Largest driver of absolute increases in dementia cases Reporting & Diagnosis More cases being recognized and recorded due to improved practices Projections and Future Risk

Data recent lifetime risk of dementia after age 55 in the U.S. is now estimated at 42%, an increase from previous estimates. Projections also indicate that annual new dementia cases are expected to double, rising from approximately 514,000 cases in 2020 to nearly 1 million cases by 2060. Despite the alarming increase in total case numbers, age-specific incidence rates of dementia continue to decline, signaling a positive trend in individual risk reduction.

On an individual level, fewer older adults are developing dementia today compared to two decades ago. This progress is largely attributed to improvements in education, healthcare, and lifestyle factors such as better vascular health and reduced smoking.

However, due to the aging population and enhanced detection methods, the absolute number of people living with dementia continues to grow. Even if individual risk remains on a downward trend, the U.S. and other aging societies should expect millions more dementia cases in the coming decades.

International Comparison

Prevalence and Incidence Rates

Dementia prevalence among individuals aged 65 and older is notably higher in the United States at approximately 11.2%, compared to about 9.7% in England, according to recent data.

Across OECD countries, 2021 figures indicate an average dementia prevalence of roughly 15 per 1,000 people, or 1.5% of the general population. This rate varies depending on each nation’s age structure and healthcare infrastructure.

Regional and National Differences

High-Income Asia

Japan currently holds the highest dementia prevalence among high-income countries, with about 3,079 cases per 100,000 people (roughly 3.08%). This was highlighted in a recent report examining neurological disease trends in East Asia.

In China, the prevalence is significantly lower—around 924 per 100,000 (0.92%)—but the sheer size of the elderly population contributes to a substantial national health burden. Countries such as India and Brazil are also seeing a notable rise in dementia cases due to their shifting demographics.

Europe

In Western Europe, dementia rates among seniors range from 1.8% to 3.1%, based on findings from a study examining multiple European populations. Specifically, countries like Sweden, Italy, and Germany report rates between 1.86% and 1.96% among older adults.

Trends Over Time

Between 1988 and 2015, the incidence of dementia—measured as new age-adjusted cases per year—declined by about 13% per decade in both the U.S. and Europe. Furthermore, recent trends show that younger generations in countries such as the U.S., U.K., and across Europe are developing dementia later in life compared to earlier cohorts. This reflects improvements in preventive health measures and overall well-being.

Overall Context and Implications

The absolute number of dementia cases is highest in regions with aging populations. For example, in North America, approximately 5.1 million individuals aged 60 and older were living with dementia in 2020, with projections reaching 9.2 million by 2040. Although age-specific dementia rates are lower in populations with better education, healthcare, and lifestyle behaviors, the overall case numbers continue to rise due to demographic aging.

In the United States, socioeconomic disparities further complicate the picture. Lower-income groups experience significantly higher dementia prevalence compared to wealthier groups. This inequality is more pronounced than in countries like England, where stronger social support systems help mitigate risk.

Key Takeaways

The United States currently has similar or slightly higher age-related dementia rates compared to other developed countries. While individual risk is decreasing—thanks to advances in public health and preventive care—the total number of dementia cases continues to increase due to an aging population. Japan currently leads in per-capita dementia prevalence, while other high-income regions, including parts of Europe and North America, closely follow.

Importantly, economic inequality in the U.S. appears to magnify dementia risk, especially when compared to countries with more robust social welfare systems like the U.K.

Prevalence in High-Income Countries (per 1,000 population, all ages)

Based on OECD and IHME data (2021):

Dementia Prevalence by Country/Region Country / Region Prevalence per 1,000 % of Population Japan ~30.8 3.08 % Italy ~22.7 2.27 % Germany ~18.6 1.86 % USA ~15.0* 1.50 % UK ~14.0* 1.40 % Canada ~15.6 1.56 % Australia ~13.2 1.32 %

U.K. and U.S. rates are comparable, with the U.K. slightly lower. Australia also sits below these averages.

Incidence Trends Over Time (Age-Adjusted)

Between 1988 and 2015, both the United States and Europe experienced a 13% decline per decade in age-standardized dementia incidence. A 2025 study across the U.S., U.K., and Europe further confirms that younger generations show lower dementia prevalence at similar ages compared to older cohorts. Global studies reinforce this trend, indicating that age-adjusted dementia rates are declining worldwide, even as the total number of cases rises due to population aging.

Total Cases and Projections

According to 2021 data from the OECD, there were approximately 21 million people living with dementia across member countries. This number is projected to increase to around 32 million by 2040. In the United States, about 5 million people are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, and the trajectory is expected to mirror trends seen in other high-income nations. Globally, the dementia burden has more than doubled—from 20 million in 1990 to 52 million in 2019—with high-income regions continuing to account for the majority of cases.

Key Takeaways

The United States’ age-adjusted dementia rates are comparable to, or slightly higher than, those in peer countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, though still below levels reported in Japan and Italy. Across high-income countries, the individual risk of developing dementia is declining, largely due to improved education, cardiovascular health, and healthier lifestyles.

However, the total number of dementia cases continues to increase, primarily driven by demographic aging and longer life expectancies. In the U.S., these trends are complicated by stark socioeconomic disparities. Dementia rates are significantly higher among lower-income and underserved populations, with the gap being wider than in countries with stronger social support systems.

Insights

The United States faces a substantial dementia burden, on par with other aging and affluent societies. The good news is that individual risk is on the decline. However, the public health challenge remains significant due to the growing number of older adults. Additional efforts focusing on health equity and prevention could help narrow the disparity gap seen in the U.S.

Global Snapshot

As of 2020, approximately 55 million people around the world were living with dementia. Over 60% of these individuals were in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a figure that is projected to rise to 70% by 2050. Globally, about 10 million new dementia cases occur each year—equating to roughly one new case every three seconds.

Prevalence in LMICs vs. High-Income Countries (HICs)

In 2019, the prevalence of dementia among adults aged 65 and older was estimated at about 9% in high-income countries and 5% in low-income countries. While the prevalence in LMICs is currently lower, it is rising quickly with aging populations.

Importantly, studies using culturally sensitive diagnostic methods—such as the 10/66 criteria—suggest that actual dementia rates in LMICs may be 1.5 to 2.5 times higher than standard DSM-based estimates.

Trends in LMICs

In Latin America, dementia prevalence increased significantly between 2003 and 2019. In Mexico, for example, rates rose from 8.3% to 17.1%. Peru experienced a rise from 9.2% to 16.8%, and similar trends were observed in the Dominican Republic. In Sub-Saharan Africa, reported dementia prevalence varies widely, ranging from 2.3% to 10.1%, largely due to inconsistencies in diagnostic practices.

Awareness, Stigma, and Care Challenges

In many communities within LMICs, dementia is not widely recognized as a medical condition, which leads to social stigma. In Nigeria, for example, dementia is sometimes misinterpreted as witchcraft. Underdiagnosis is a major issue, with up to 90% of dementia cases in LMICs going undiagnosed.

The care infrastructure in these regions is also severely limited. Only eight countries globally have adopted national dementia plans, and most of them are high-income nations. The economic burden in LMICs is further compounded by the fact that informal caregiving accounts for about 65% of dementia-related costs, compared to more institutional and social support services in wealthier countries.

Projections for Developing Countries

Dementia cases in low- and middle-income countries are expected to nearly triple by 2050, particularly in regions such as Asia and Latin America. Without significant investments in early detection, prevention, and care infrastructure, these areas will face an overwhelming increase in prevalence and associated needs.

Prevalence in Ages 65+ (HRS/ADAMS Cohorts & RAND Analysis) Year Prevalence (%) 2000 11.6 % 2004 ~11.1 % (gradual decline) 2008 ~10.3 % 2012 8.8 % 2016 7.7 %

From 2000 to 2012: ~2.8 percentage-point drop (11.6 % → 8.8 %)
From 2000 to 2016: ~3.9 percentage-point drop (11.6 % → 7.7 %)

Incidence in Ages 65+ (Based on HRS Data)

Between 2000 and 2002, the annual dementia incidence rate among U.S. adults aged 65 and older was approximately 5.0%. By the 2014–2016 period, that rate had declined to around 3.8%, marking a total decrease of about 24%. This represents an average annual decline of roughly 2%.

Summary of Trends

From 2000 to 2016, dementia prevalence declined by about 3 percentage points, or roughly 30%. Similarly, incidence dropped by approximately 24% over the same period. These downward trends suggest improvements in public health—particularly in healthcare access, education, and lifestyle behaviors. Notably, these gains occurred despite the increasing prevalence of conditions like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.

Total Number of Cases Still Rising

Although the percentage of older adults with dementia may be stabilizing or slightly declining in some regions, the total number of cases continues to rise significantly due to an aging population. In 2020, approximately 7 million Americans aged 65 and older were living with dementia, according to projections published in The Lancet, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), and AP News.

Looking ahead, the total is projected to exceed 9 million by 2030 and reach around 12 million by 2040, as outlined in long-range demographic models from PRB.

Focusing on Alzheimer’s disease specifically, the number of cases is expected to increase from 6.07 million in 2020 to approximately 7.16 million by 2025, based on forecasts published in the Alzheimer's Association journal.

What This Reveals

The data demonstrates two important realities. First, individual risk is decreasing—fewer older adults are developing dementia each year. Second, the population impact is increasing, simply because there are more older adults overall. While public health improvements have clearly reduced per-person risk, the demand for dementia care and support services is intensifying as absolute case numbers grow.

Closing Thoughts

Between 2000 and 2016, there was steady and measurable progress in reducing both dementia prevalence and incidence among older adults in the United States. Nevertheless, the total number of dementia cases continues to climb due to population aging. This dual trend—lower risk per person but more people affected overall—is at the core of the dementia burden today.

Studies such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Framingham Heart Study consistently show that fewer people aged 65 and older are developing dementia each year. Age-adjusted rates for both prevalence and incidence have declined by approximately 24–30% during the early 2000s to mid-2010s period.

Why Are Dementia Rates Declining Per Person?

Several contributing factors have likely driven the downward trend in age-specific dementia rates:

Higher levels of education across generations
Improved heart health, including better hypertension management and reduced smoking
Possible increases in brain health and cognitive reserve

These factors reflect a broader pattern of public health advancement, especially in higher-income countries.

Total Dementia Cases Are Increasing Rapidly

While individual risk has decreased, the aging of the U.S. population has led to a sharp rise in total dementia cases. In 2000, approximately 35 million Americans were aged 65 and older. By 2024, that number had grown to roughly 62 million. Even with a lower dementia rate per 100 people, the dramatic increase in the size of the elderly population results in a higher absolute number of dementia cases.

To illustrate, about 7 million Americans had dementia in 2020. Projections indicate this number will exceed 9 million by 2030 and reach more than 12 million by 2040. Furthermore, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease have tripled from 1999 to 2020—a trend partly driven by aging and partly by improved diagnostic recognition.

Understanding “Higher Than Expected” Headlines

Media headlines stating that “dementia risk is higher than previously thought” or warning of a “dementia tsunami” often refer to newer, more comprehensive estimates. For example, recent research suggests that the lifetime risk of developing dementia after age 55 may be as high as 42%, significantly more than older projections.

In addition, some studies indicate earlier onset in specific groups, including military veterans, individuals with traumatic brain injuries, and certain racial and ethnic populations. New research also points to emerging risk factors, such as obesity, air pollution, PTSD, and diabetes—all of which are becoming more prevalent and may contribute to higher dementia risk in the future.

Understanding Dementia Trends Statement True? Meaning “Dementia rates are declining” Yes On a per-person, age-adjusted basis, fewer people are getting it “Dementia numbers are increasing” Yes The total population is older, so there are more total cases “Risk is higher than expected” Sometimes New methods suggest more people over a lifetime may develop it than previously estimated What Is “Dirty Electricity”?

“Dirty electricity” (DE) refers to high-frequency voltage transients (HFVTs) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that travel along power lines. These disturbances are caused by devices such as smart meters, LED lights, dimmer switches, switching power supplies, and Wi-Fi routers. Dirty electricity represents a form of low-level, non-ionizing radiation, which is distinct from ionizing radiation like X-rays or gamma rays.

Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and irreversible brain disorder that gradually destroys memory, thinking skills, and eventually the ability to perform simple tasks. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.

Medical Definition

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the buildup of amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles in the brain. These pathological changes lead to neuronal loss, brain atrophy, and a decline in cognitive functions.

Key Features

Early symptoms include memory loss, especially affecting short-term memory. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience disorientation and confusion about time and place, language difficulties such as trouble finding words, poor judgment, personality changes, and mood swings. In advanced stages, full-time care becomes necessary.

Biological Markers

The disease is marked by several biological indicators:

Amyloid-beta plaques: Sticky protein clumps that accumulate between neurons.
Tau tangles: Twisted strands found inside brain cells.
Brain shrinkage (atrophy), especially in the hippocampus.
Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.

Diagnosis

There is no single definitive test for Alzheimer’s. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history review, cognitive assessments, brain imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis for biomarkers, and emerging blood tests for new biomarker indicators.

Stages of Alzheimer’s

Preclinical: Brain changes start decades before symptoms appear.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): Subtle memory problems emerge.
Mild Alzheimer’s: Noticeable memory loss and confusion begin.
Moderate: Confusion worsens, and assistance with daily activities is needed.
Severe: The individual loses the ability to communicate or care for themselves.

Alzheimer’s Disease vs. Dementia

While often used interchangeably, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are not the same.

Dementia describes a general decline in cognitive abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, a group of symptoms affecting memory, reasoning, language, judgment, and behavior. There are many different causes of dementia, with Alzheimer’s being the most common.

Alzheimer’s: A Specific Disease Under the Dementia Umbrella

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60–80% of cases.

So:

All Alzheimer’s is dementia

But not all dementia is Alzheimer’s

Other Types of Dementia Include: Dementia Type Key Characteristics Alzheimer’s Gradual memory loss, confusion, disorientation Vascular dementia Caused by strokes or reduced blood flow to the brain Lewy body dementia Hallucinations, Parkinson-like symptoms Frontotemporal dementia Personality and language changes before memory loss Mixed dementia A combination, often Alzheimer’s plus vascular dementia Parkinson’s dementia Develops in the later stages of Parkinson’s disease Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s Disease Feature Dementia Alzheimer’s What it is Symptom cluster (syndrome) Specific brain disease Causes Many (including Alzheimer’s) One specific cause Reversible types? Sometimes (e.g., from vitamin deficiency) No (Alzheimer’s is irreversible) Main effect Cognitive decline Progressive memory loss and co Is There a Link Between Dirty Electricity and Dementia?

Currently, there is no definitive scientific consensus within the mainstream medical community that directly links dirty electricity to Alzheimer's disease or dementia. However, some independent researchers and proponents of alternative health science suggest there may be connections worth exploring.

These researchers propose that prolonged exposure to certain electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) could trigger brain inflammation. They also suggest that EMF exposure may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, which could impair cognitive function over time. While some case studies and ecological research have noted a correlation between high-EMF environments and increased rates of dementia or other neurological disorders, these studies do not establish causation.

Studies of Interest

One study by Havas and Olstad (2008) observed that filtering dirty electricity in classrooms was associated with improvements in children’s behavior and cognitive performance. However, this study was small in scale and remains controversial within the scientific community.

The BioInitiative Report, compiled and updated between 2007 and 2020, presents a collection of research suggesting that low-level EMF exposure could be linked to neurological and other health effects. While widely cited by advocacy groups, this report is not peer-reviewed in the traditional academic sense.

In addition, studies conducted in countries such as Switzerland, Israel, and Iran have identified certain biological responses to EMF exposure—such as increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier—that could potentially contribute to cognitive issues over time.

What Do Mainstream Institutions Say?

Leading health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) maintain that there is no conclusive evidence that low-level EMFs, including those from dirty electricity, are a cause of dementia.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies electromagnetic fields as Group 2B carcinogens. This means they are considered “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on limited evidence. However, the IARC’s classification largely focuses on higher-frequency EMF exposures, such as those from mobile phones, rather than low-frequency transients from power lines and electrical devices.

Cognitive Effects and EMFs: A Broader Perspective

Although a direct link between EMF exposure and dementia is unproven, there are broader concerns about cognitive health. Some individuals report symptoms attributed to EMF hypersensitivity, such as memory problems, confusion, and headaches. These symptoms, while real to those experiencing them, are not officially recognized as being related to dementia.

Animal studies have also indicated that chronic EMF exposure might affect memory and hippocampal function, suggesting that further research could be warranted to understand potential long-term cognitive effects.

Evaluating Claims About Dirty Electricity and Dementia Claim Status Dirty electricity might impair cognitive health Theoretical / weak evidence Dirty electricity causes Alzheimer’s or dementia Not proven Chronic EMF exposure increases oxidative stress or inflammation Some support in lab and animal studies Total dementia rates increasing is due to EMF exposure Unproven correlation, not established causation 1. 900 MHz EMF Exposure in Adolescent Rats

Design: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields (a common cell phone frequency) for one hour per day throughout adolescence.

Findings: At 60 days, the exposed rats exhibited pyramidal neuron loss, increased oxidative stress (evidenced by elevated malondialdehyde and decreased catalase levels), and damage to the hippocampus. These outcomes suggest a potential impairment in memory formation.

2. Extremely Low-Frequency EMF (ELF-EMF) and Spatial Memory in Adult Rats

Design: Adult rats were subjected to ELF-EMF ranging from 1 to 2000 µT for two hours daily over a period of 60 days.

Findings: The exposure altered behavioral patterns, particularly affecting spatial memory retention and anxiety responses. Additionally, there was a measurable increase in oxidative stress markers in the brain.

3. Chronic Exposure to 1,950 MHz RF-EMF in Mice

Design: C57BL/6 mice received exposure to 1,950 MHz radiofrequency EMF for two hours a day, five days a week, over eight months.

Findings: The mice demonstrated impairments in both spatial and recognition memory. There were also significant changes in hippocampal gene expression related to neurogenesis, indicating possible long-term cognitive effects.

4. 916 MHz EMF Exposure and Radial-Arm Maze Performance in Rats

Design: Rats were exposed to 916 MHz EMF for six hours a day, five days per week, over a 10-week period.

Findings: Around weeks four and five of the study, exposed rats completed maze tasks more slowly and with more errors. Abnormal firing patterns in hippocampal neurons were also observed. However, some level of adaptation was noted later in the exposure period.

5. EMF Exposure and Kindling Stress in Rats

Design: In a seizure-prone rat model using hippocampal kindling, rats were exposed to 100 Hz EMF for one hour daily over the course of a week.

Findings: Surprisingly, EMF exposure restored learning and memory functions in the kindled rats and helped normalize long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. These results suggest that EMF effects may be context-dependent and potentially therapeutic in certain neurological states.

6. 5G-Band (~2.65 GHz) EMF Exposure in Mice

Design: Mice were exposed to simulated 5G electromagnetic fields at 2.65 GHz for four hours a day over 28 days.

Findings: Exposure led to anxiety-like behaviors and a decrease in hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, indicating stress-related neurological effects.

7. ELF-EMF Exposure in Alzheimer’s Model Rats

Design: Rats genetically modified to mimic Alzheimer’s disease were exposed to ELF-EMF at 50 Hz and 400 µT for 60 days.

Findings: The EMF exposure improved spatial memory performance and reduced pathological markers in the hippocampus. These findings suggest possible therapeutic potential of EMF in neurodegenerative models.

Research on electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure in animal models shows mixed results. In healthy animals, particularly those exposed to radiofrequency EMFs (RF-EMF), there is evidence of hippocampal damage and cognitive decline. However, in certain diseased models—such as rodents with Alzheimer’s-like conditions—low-frequency EMF exposure has shown potential therapeutic effects, improving memory and brain function.

The biological mechanisms behind these effects include oxidative stress, neuronal damage, altered neuronal firing patterns, gene expression changes, and neuroinflammatory responses. Despite these findings, the relevance to human health remains uncertain due to key differences in species, exposure duration, intensity, and individual vulnerability.

Projected Growth in Alzheimer’s and Cognitive Impairment

By 2060, it is projected that nearly 14 million Americans aged 65 and older will have clinical Alzheimer’s disease. This represents an increase of over 128% compared to the 2020 estimate. Notably, the prevalence among Black and Hispanic older adults is expected to rise even faster, significantly shifting the demographic distribution of affected populations.

Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

The same projections show that in 2020, around 12.23 million Americans were living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) of any type. By 2060, that number is expected to grow to approximately 21.55 million—a 76% increase.

When combining Alzheimer’s and MCI figures:

In 2020: 6.07 million with Alzheimer’s plus 12.23 million with MCI, totaling approximately 18.3 million people.
In 2060: 13.85 million with Alzheimer’s plus 21.55 million with MCI, totaling around 35.4 million people.

Lifetime Risk and Annual Case Projections

According to a 2025 analysis featured in Nature Medicine and reported by Scientific American, the estimated lifetime risk of developing dementia after age 55 is now around 42%. This marks a significant increase from older estimates that ranged between 11% and 23%.

Annual new cases of dementia are also on the rise:

Around 514,000 new cases per year in 2020
Projected to reach 1 million new cases annually by 2060

Historic Projections and Additional Models

Earlier modeling, such as the 1998–2011 American Journal of Public Health study, predicted that Alzheimer’s prevalence would nearly quadruple between 1997 and 2050, rising from 2.32 million to approximately 9–10 million. Current estimates from sources like the CDC and the Fisher Center align with projections of 13.8 to 14 million cases by 2050 to 2060.

Summary of Key Forecasts

2020: Approximately 6.1 million with Alzheimer’s; around 12.2 million with MCI
2025: Estimated 7.2 million with Alzheimer’s
2030: Projected 8.5 million with Alzheimer’s
2040–2060: Estimates range from 11 to 14 million with Alzheimer’s alone
2060: Over 13 million with Alzheimer’s plus 21.5 million with MCI, totaling more than 35 million affected individuals
Annual New Cases: Increasing from around 500,000 per year to 1 million by 2060

Why These Numbers Matter

Even if individual age-specific risk remains stable or declines slightly due to improved healthcare and lifestyle factors, the aging of the population ensures that the absolute number of dementia cases will continue to rise. With nearly half of adults over the age of 55 facing a lifetime risk of developing dementia, the strain on healthcare systems, caregivers, and public health infrastructure is set to intensify.

Understanding these projections emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced prevention strategies, expanded care infrastructure, and targeted research into causes and treatments.

Hypothesized Mechanisms Linking EMFs / Dirty Electricity to Alzheimer's

While there is no definitive clinical proof, researchers have proposed several biological mechanisms:

1. Chronic Brain Inflammation

Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has been shown to increase glial cell activation and elevate levels of neuroinflammatory cytokines in animal studies involving rats and mice. Chronic inflammation is widely recognized as a central feature of Alzheimer’s disease pathology, and ongoing neuroinflammation may accelerate neuronal damage and cognitive decline.

2. Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Disruption

Several EMF studies suggest that exposure can lead to a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This disruption may allow harmful substances, including toxins and proteins such as beta-amyloid, to enter the brain more freely.

The accumulation of beta-amyloid in brain tissue is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease and may be exacerbated by compromised BBB integrity.

3. Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction

EMF exposure has also been linked to increased oxidative stress and damage to neuronal mitochondria. Mitochondria are essential for cellular energy production, and their dysfunction can impair brain function. Brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease consistently show elevated levels of oxidative stress, suggesting a possible connection between EMF-induced cellular damage and cognitive decline.

4. Melatonin Suppression

EMFs are known to reduce the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone primarily released during sleep. Melatonin plays several protective roles in the brain: it acts as a powerful antioxidant, supports neuronal health, and helps to clear beta-amyloid buildup. A deficiency in melatonin may therefore contribute to increased vulnerability to neurodegenerative processes.

5. Calcium Channel Disruption

Research indicates that EMFs may disrupt voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), which are essential for proper neuronal signaling. When VGCCs are altered or overstimulated, it can lead to excessive calcium influx in neurons, triggering cell damage, oxidative stress, and ultimately memory loss. This disruption may represent another pathway through which EMFs contribute to neurodegeneration.

Studies That Support a Possible EMF–Brain Link

A number of independent studies suggest a potential association between electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and adverse brain effects, though causality remains unconfirmed.

One foundational study by Salford et al. (2003) exposed rats to mobile phone radiation and observed leakage in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) as well as neuron damage in critical brain regions like the cortex and hippocampus. Havas (2006, 2013) found associations between “dirty electricity” and cognitive symptoms such as brain fog, headaches, and behavioral changes, particularly in school and home settings.

The BioInitiative Report (2007–2020), though not peer-reviewed in the conventional sense, compiled over 1,800 studies on EMF exposure, covering outcomes such as DNA damage, cognitive impairment, and neurodegeneration. In a related vein, Lai and Singh (1995–2004) documented increased DNA strand breaks in the brains of rats following RF (radiofrequency) radiation exposure.

Alzheimer’s and EMF: A Potential Correlation?

Though a definitive causal link between EMF exposure and Alzheimer’s disease has not been established, some ecological and epidemiological data suggest possible connections. For example, urban areas with high EMF densities have reported increased Alzheimer’s prevalence. Similarly, elevated dementia risks have been observed among military radar operators and radio technicians—occupations with high long-term EMF exposure.

In community-level reports, people living near high-voltage power lines, cell towers, and smart meters have reported more frequent cognitive complaints, though these are often anecdotal and lack rigorous scientific control.

What’s Missing in the Research?

Mainstream medical and scientific institutions remain cautious, emphasizing that current evidence is insufficient to prove causation between EMF exposure and dementia. However, the absence of proof does not equate to proof of absence.

A major limitation is that most research funding continues to focus on well-established Alzheimer’s models—such as amyloid plaque buildup, tau pathology, and genetic risk factors. In contrast, studies exploring EMF-related mechanisms are frequently underfunded, small in scale, and inconsistently replicated. This leaves a gap in our understanding that prevents stronger conclusions.

Dementia Care Crisis as Baby Boomers Age

As the oldest baby boomers turn 80 in 2025, the U.S. medical system is already facing what some experts describe as “emergency levels” of demand for dementia care. According to Elizabeth Edgerly, senior director of community programs and services at the Alzheimer’s Association, the gap between the number of patients needing care and the available services is growing alarmingly wide.

A recent Nature Medicine study puts the lifetime risk of developing dementia after age 55 at approximately 42%. Based on current trends, around one million new dementia cases are expected annually in the U.S. by 2060—nearly double the 514,000 new cases reported in 2020. Today, more than six million Americans are already living with Alzheimer’s disease.

One of the most pressing challenges is the severe shortage of neurologists. The Alzheimer’s Association recommends at least 10 neurologists per 10,000 dementia patients, but 20 U.S. states fall below this benchmark. These areas are considered “dementia neurology deserts,” leaving thousands without timely access to diagnosis and treatment.

Further exacerbating the crisis, an estimated 92% of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remain undiagnosed, according to a 2023 study. Edgerly warns that without immediate intervention, “the gulf between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ will only get worse.”

Federal Legislative Efforts

H.R. 372 – Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients Act (119th Congress, 2025–2026)
Introduced on January 13, 2025, by Representative David Rouzer (R-NC), H.R. 372 is a federal bill aimed at mandating drug testing for certain public assistance applicants. The legislation targets individuals applying for programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and public housing assistance.

The bill requires that applicants with a drug-related offense within the past five years undergo mandatory drug testing. Applicants without such a history must complete a substance abuse screening. If an applicant tests positive, they face a one-year denial of benefits unless they complete a treatment program or later test negative for the substance. To enforce compliance, the bill stipulates that states not implementing these requirements may face cuts in federal funding for these programs.

Local Initiatives

San Francisco’s Proposition F
In 2024, San Francisco voters approved Proposition F, an initiative proposed by Mayor London Breed. This measure requires drug testing for individuals receiving benefits through the County Adult Assistance Program (CAAP). Under the law, recipients who test positive must enroll in a free treatment program in order to continue receiving benefits. Implementation is scheduled to begin on January 1, 2025.

Public Support

Public opinion appears largely supportive of such measures. A 2024 national survey found that 76% of Americans support drug screening and mandatory treatment for welfare recipients suspected of substance abuse. Support was evident across political lines, with 84% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats, and 75% of independents in favor of the policy.

Considerations and Criticisms

While the policy enjoys broad support, critics question its cost-effectiveness. A study cited by the Center for Law and Social Policy found that the cost to identify a single substance user through such programs could range between $20,000 and $77,000. These findings raise concerns about the return on investment for taxpayers.

There are also concerns about implementation. Experts warn that local governments may lack the capacity to properly manage, monitor, and enforce large-scale drug testing and treatment programs. In San Francisco, for instance, behavioral scientists have raised doubts about whether such a system can be effectively executed on the ground.

Related Legislative Ideas

There has been growing discussion about applying similar standards to politicians and public officials. Proposals include mandatory drug and alcohol testing—either randomly or when suspicion arises—as well as mental health evaluations, financial disclosures, and ethics assessments monitored by independent watchdog agencies.

Joe Rogan: Lifestyle and Health Updates

In April and May of 2025, Joe Rogan publicly announced that he had been sober for approximately two months. He shared on The Joe Rogan Experience that abstaining from alcohol had a noticeably positive effect on his mental clarity and well-being, expressing surprise that he hadn’t made the decision sooner. He noted that the days following drinking were “just too rough” and that he didn’t miss the downsides of alcohol.

Rogan also revealed that he has been attending church more regularly, though details regarding his religious practices or spiritual journey remain limited.

Cold Plunge and Sauna Routine

Joe Rogan frequently promotes his routine involving alternating hot and cold exposures. He typically transitions between saunas heated to 180–220°F and cold plunges, sometimes dipping as low as 21°F. His cycle often begins with sauna use, followed by a cold plunge, and ends with another sauna session.

He attributes this regimen to numerous health benefits, including reduced inflammation, quicker recovery, better hormone regulation, and an increase in testosterone. These claims have inspired many listeners and followers to experiment with similar routines, often citing podcast appearances by guests like David Goggins.

Hormone Use and Enhancement

Joe Rogan has been open about using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and has suggested the possible use of human growth hormone (HGH). Discussions on his podcast often include claims that his lifestyle habits, such as cold exposure and intense exercise, have helped elevate his testosterone levels into the 1100s—a level well above what is typical for men in their 50s.

Online communities, particularly Reddit forums, speculate that Rogan receives high doses of testosterone and HGH, possibly twice per week, which would place him in a category known as “supratherapeutic” hormone use.

Area What Rogan Discloses Alcohol Confirmed quitting, publicly sober for several months Church attendance Mentioned, but with few specifics Cold Plunge/Sauna Daily/regular practice; uses extreme temps; cites health benefits Testosterone & Hormones Admits to TRT/HGH; aligns with his cold-exercise strategy

Joe Rogan has publicly declared that he leads an alcohol-free lifestyle, which has contributed to improved health and a renewed involvement in church activities. He consistently incorporates cold plunges and saunas into his high-intensity routines, claiming various physical and hormonal benefits. Rogan has also openly acknowledged using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and human growth hormone (HGH), though details about prescriptions or medical supervision remain private.

Testosterone Response

A 2019 randomized study involving resistance-trained men found that 15 minutes of cold-water immersion at 15°C immediately after squat workouts blunted the typical surge in testosterone. Specifically, testosterone levels were about 9% higher in the group that did not undergo cold exposure at 30 minutes post-exercise, while levels in the cold immersion group dropped below baseline by 60 minutes.

Earlier research from 1991 showed that cold exposure caused a 10% drop in testosterone during cold-water stimulation, along with a 22% increase in luteinizing hormone (LH).

Conversely, some claims—such as those related to “cold chamber” exposure—suggest that cold may inhibit testosterone breakdown, potentially leading to increased testosterone levels. However, robust clinical evidence supporting these claims is limited.

Bottom line: Cold exposure does not consistently increase testosterone levels and may even suppress post-exercise testosterone peaks. The data regarding long-term hormonal benefits remains inconclusive.

Cortisol and Stress Hormones

Cold exposure triggers a sympathetic nervous system response, often described as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, which sharply raises norepinephrine levels. This response is frequently accompanied by the release of endorphins and dopamine, resulting in an acute energizing effect.

Studies indicate that cortisol levels generally stay flat or decrease during and after cold immersion, sometimes remaining low for hours post-exposure. Regular cold exposure may help retrain the body’s stress response, with repetitive cold plunges showing lower cortisol spikes compared to initial sessions.

Other Hormonal Effects

Cold-water immersion has been shown to cause a significant increase in growth hormone (GH), with one study reporting a 300–500% surge after 15 minutes of cold exposure.

Additionally, cold immersion affects the immune system and thyroid function. It increases levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), norepinephrine, thyroid hormones, and various cytokines, resulting in complex effects on metabolism and immunity.

Hormone/System Observed Effect from Cold Exposure Testosterone No clear long-term elevation; may blunt exercise-related surge Cortisol Slight decrease or stable; may improve stress resilience Norepinephrine / Adrenaline Acute spike—alertness, mood, pain relief Endorphins/Dopamine Release during cold shock—increase mood and energy temporarily Growth Hormone Significant acute increase reported (one study) Immune / Thyroid Factors Mixed changes—enhanced acute stress response Caveats and Considerations

Timing plays a crucial role when it comes to cold exposure and exercise. Cold immersion immediately after exercise can impair muscle adaptation, while some evidence suggests that plunging before workouts may be safer. The duration of hormonal spikes caused by cold exposure is often short-term, with no proven long-term increases in testosterone.

There is significant individual variability in response to cold plunges. Some anecdotal reports from Reddit users claim testosterone increases of 200 to 600 ng/dL after months of consistent plunging. While these stories are compelling, they remain anecdotal and lack robust scientific backing.

Health cautions are important to note, as cold stress can affect heart rate, blood pressure, and hormonal balance. This is especially relevant for individuals with pre-existing health conditions, who should approach cold exposure carefully.

How does ketamine affect perception?

Dissociation: The Core Effect

Ketamine is classified as a dissociative anesthetic. It creates a sense of detachment from the body, mind, and environment. People may feel like they are observing themselves from outside their body, an “out-of-body experience” or that time and space are distorted.

Emotional and Cognitive Disconnection

Ketamine can numb emotional responses and temporarily blunt feelings of anxiety or depression. Some users experience a sense of being cut off from their thoughts or surroundings. This effect is one reason ketamine is being explored as a treatment for depression, as it can interrupt rigid, negative thought patterns.

The “K-hole” Experience

At high doses, ketamine can induce a very deep dissociative state often referred to as a “K-hole.” This state involves near-total disconnection from sensory input, personal identity, and, in some cases, reality itself. The experience can feel profound, terrifying, or euphoric, depending on the setting, dosage, and the individual's mental state.

Medical Use

In controlled medical environments, small doses of ketamine are used for a variety of purposes. These include anesthesia, pain relief, and, more recently, the rapid alleviation of symptoms in individuals with treatment-resistant depression.

Risks of Disconnection

While the disconnection effects of ketamine can be therapeutic in a medical context, recreational or unsupervised use carries risks. These include confusion, panic attacks or “bad trips,” memory problems, and an increased likelihood of accidents or injury due to impaired coordination and awareness.

Public Figures and Ketamine Use

Elon Musk has publicly acknowledged using ketamine, stating that it helps with his depression and enhances his productivity. He discussed this on X (formerly Twitter), and it was later confirmed in reports by media outlets including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

What about Peter Thiel?

There is no confirmed public admission or verified report that Peter Thiel takes ketamine.

However, Peter Thiel has a long-standing interest in life extension, transhumanism, and experimental medicine, including:

Funding anti-aging research

Supporting companies involved in cryonics, parabiosis (young blood plasma infusions), and nootropics

Associating with controversial longevity and biohacking ventures

Because of this, some speculate that Thiel might be open to substances like ketamine as part of cutting-edge therapies, but:

There is no credible source confirming that Peter Thiel uses ketamine.

Tech & Venture Capital Circles

While not all have admitted ketamine use, many in Silicon Valley are deeply involved in psychedelic research and funding, such as:

Peter Thiel

Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and an early investor in Facebook, has become a significant figure in the emerging field of psychedelic medicine. He has invested in startups like ATAI Life Sciences, a company that researches treatments using substances such as psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA.

Thiel is also a vocal proponent of radical medical innovation, life extension, and anti-aging science. While there is no confirmed evidence that he personally uses ketamine, his role as a financial backer makes him a key player in the industry's development and legitimization.

What the VA is Doing?

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is actively using ketamine-based therapies to treat veterans with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal ideation. This includes both the FDA-approved nasal spray esketamine (Spravato) and off-label intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) ketamine infusions.

Since around 2019, the VA has offered esketamine nasal spray under a restricted protocol for veterans who have not improved after trying at least two antidepressants. Thousands of veterans have received esketamine treatment both at VA facilities and through VA Community Care Network (VCCP) partnerships, including clinics like Ketamine Wellness Centers in various states.

Since approximately 2022, many VA facilities have permanently added IV/IM ketamine infusion protocols for TRD. For example, the Philadelphia VA’s Neuromodulation Clinic provides both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and esketamine, while some VA sites operate dedicated ketamine clinics focused solely on IV infusions. As of fiscal year 2023, about 75% of VA facilities (105 out of 139) offer either IV ketamine or intranasal esketamine, serving over 1,800 veterans.

Effectiveness and Outcomes

Real-world studies at VA sites such as Ann Arbor found that nearly 50% of veterans reported a substantial reduction in depression scores within six weeks of IV ketamine treatment, and approximately 15% achieved full remission. Private partnerships, such as Avesta and Ketamine Wellness Centers, report improvements in up to 86% of veterans after six or more ketamine sessions.

Veterans’ Experiences

Veterans on Reddit confirm that ketamine therapies are available through the VA, though access can vary by location. Some veterans note that protocols have been in place since at least early 2022. Others share positive testimonials, including statements like “Ketamine 100% saved my life” from current patients in programs such as the San Diego VAMC’s in-house ketamine treatment.

However, some veterans express frustration when their local VA sites do not offer ketamine therapy or are slow to make referrals. In such cases, community care through partner clinics is recommended as a workaround.

How Veterans Can Access Ketamine Therapies

Veterans interested in ketamine treatment should discuss their symptoms and treatment history with their VA mental health provider. If eligible—for example, those with TRD who have tried two or more antidepressants—the provider may refer them to a VA Neuromodulation Clinic if available or submit a community care request to partner clinics offering esketamine or IV ketamine.

It is important to advocate for prior approval if your VA site has not yet adopted ketamine protocols, as ketamine therapies are well within VA policy.

What You Should Know

Esketamine is FDA-approved and administered under controlled settings with close monitoring. IV/IM ketamine, while off-label, is supported by VA clinical guidelines established since 2022, which include standardized dosing and monitoring protocols.

Potential side effects of ketamine treatment include dissociation, spikes in blood pressure, and a risk of misuse. Because of this, ketamine is administered under careful observation in clinical settings.

Bottom Line

The VA is actively offering both esketamine nasal spray and IV/IM ketamine infusions for veterans suffering from treatment-resistant depression or suicidal ideation. While not every VA hospital may provide these treatments in-house, most do so through the Community Care Network. Veterans interested in ketamine therapy should initiate a conversation with their VA mental health provider and ask specifically about Neuromodulation Clinics, Spravato, and community care referrals.

If you would like assistance locating the nearest participating clinic or guidance on navigating VA referrals, feel free to ask.

Short-Term (Acute) Side Effects

You're right, ketamine, while effective for treatment-resistant depression and suicidality, does carry serious side effects and potential risks. Here's a clear breakdown of what's known, based on clinical studies, real-world use (including VA protocols), and FDA data:

These are common during or shortly after a ketamine session, especially within the first 1–2 hours:

Symptom Description Frequency Dissociation Feeling disconnected from body/reality; floating, dreamlike state Very common (up to 75%) Hallucinations or vivid imagery Visual or auditory distortions; sometimes disturbing Common Sedation Drowsiness, impaired alertness Common Nausea & vomiting Often managed with antiemetics ~25% Increased blood pressure & heart rate Peaks within 40 minutes; monitored during use Common Anxiety or panic Can occur during “bad trips” or uncomfortable dissociation Less common Dizziness or loss of coordination Especially on standing or walking Common

Most side effects resolve within 2 hours and patients are monitored closely during this time (especially for esketamine/Spravato and IV use in clinics).

Medium-Term Side Effects (After Several Doses)

Emerging over several sessions (weeks to months):

Risk Description Cognitive changes Some report memory or attention problems, especially at high or frequent dosing levels Bladder inflammation (cystitis) Observed in chronic recreational users but rare in medically supervised cases; signs include frequent urination, burning, urgency Increased tolerance May need more to achieve the same antidepressant effect over time (dose escalation risks) Mood instability Some patients experience swings between improvement and depressive crashes (“rebound depression”) Long-Term Risks (Chronic Use or High Doses)

These are based mostly on recreational or non-clinical use, but are still worth noting for informed consent:

Long-Term Effects of Ketamine Therapy

Long-Term Effect Notes Addiction/dependence Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance in the U.S. Some users develop psychological dependence, though less so in monitored settings Urinary tract damage Chronic misuse can cause ketamine bladder syndrome, leading to pain, incontinence, and potential long-term damage Liver enzyme elevation Mild changes seen in some patients Psychiatric effects Risk of psychosis or worsening anxiety in vulnerable individuals (e.g., those with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) Risk vs. Benefit Benefits Risks Rapid relief from suicidal ideation (often within hours) Dissociation, elevated blood pressure, nausea Significant improvement in treatment-resistant depression Risk of addiction or tolerance with long-term use Can work when SSRIs and therapy fail Requires close supervision and sometimes multiple sessions

In clinical settings (like the VA or Spravato REMS program), side effects are usually well managed with:

Pre-screening (e.g. cardiac history, psychosis risk)

Monitoring (2+ hours post-dose)

Controlled dosing schedules (e.g. 2x/week to start, tapering later)

VA Protocol Safeguards

The VA has implemented several safety measures to ensure the responsible use of ketamine-based treatments. Before and after each treatment session, a veteran’s vital signs are checked. Each visit also includes a mental status evaluation to assess psychological stability. Oversight is provided by a psychiatrist, and once an initial positive response to treatment is observed, clinicians typically develop careful tapering plans to avoid long-term dependence or overuse.

Sources and Studies

The protocols used by the VA are informed by multiple authoritative sources. These include the FDA Spravato (esketamine) Prescribing Information, the American Psychiatric Association Guidelines on Ketamine Use (2021), and official protocols from VA Neuromodulation Clinics. Peer-reviewed literature, such as articles in the Journal of Affective Disorders, Biological Psychiatry, and JAMA Psychiatry, also inform clinical decisions and policy-making.

Inside the VA System

For ketamine treatments administered directly within the VA—such as IV ketamine or esketamine delivered in neuromodulation clinics—the VA is required to follow strict informed consent procedures. Veterans should be made aware that ketamine (except for esketamine) is used off-label for depression. They must be informed of all common and serious side effects, such as dissociation, elevated blood pressure, bladder risks, and cognitive issues. Veterans must also be told that ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance with potential for addiction, that individual responses vary, and that long-term safety remains under investigation. Each dose requires appropriate monitoring and supervision, and alternative treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), medications, or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) should also be discussed.

In practice, however, the level of disclosure varies. Some VA facilities excel at providing thorough intake assessments, verbal and written consent procedures, and follow-up after each session. Others may provide only minimal information, particularly when care is referred to outside providers via the Community Care system. Veterans have reported mixed experiences on platforms such as Reddit and RallyPoint. Some noted they were only warned about nausea and dissociation, but not about bladder damage or the risk of dependency. Others received brochures and some monitoring but had to ask specifically about long-term effects in order to get details.

Private Clinics via Community Care

When the VA refers veterans to private ketamine clinics—which is becoming increasingly common—standards for informed consent can vary significantly. Some clinics provide detailed, transparent risk briefings and high-quality care. However, others appear more focused on profit and patient retention than on full disclosure. Veterans may not realize that these clinics often have financial incentives to keep them returning for multiple treatment rounds, and the risks associated with long-term use increase as treatment continues.

Signs That Informed Consent Might Be Incomplete

Veterans or their families should evaluate whether full informed consent was provided. Questions to consider include whether side effects like bladder damage, cognitive effects, or addiction were mentioned, whether treatment limitations were clearly explained, whether a written consent form was reviewed and discussed with a provider, and whether other treatment options were adequately presented. If the answer to most of these questions is no, then the informed consent process may not have been adequate.

Veteran Advocacy and Oversight

The VA’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has previously investigated issues related to ketamine prescribing and oversight. In response, several veteran advocacy groups have called for stronger educational standards, better monitoring, and increased transparency. There is a growing movement to standardize informed consent practices across all VA facilities and third-party clinics participating in Community Care, to ensure that every veteran receives consistent and thorough information before beginning ketamine treatment.

Ketamine Use Among Veterans Over Time

Expansion of VA-Based Clinics

In 2020, only 19 VA facilities offered IV ketamine infusions. By 2024, that number had grown to 39 facilities offering either IV ketamine or intranasal esketamine. As of fiscal year 2023, 105 out of 139 VA medical centers—about 75.5%—provided ketamine or esketamine treatment either in-house or through the VA Community Care Network.

Number of Veterans Treated

In FY 2020, approximately 215 veterans received IV ketamine treatments at VA facilities. By FY 2023, that figure had grown to over 1,800 veterans receiving either IV ketamine or esketamine, marking an eightfold increase in just three years.

Clinic Usage and Treatment Volume

A single VA hospital, as reported in the VA’s Diffusion Marketplace, administered 1,505 ketamine treatments in 2024. These included 799 IV treatments, 554 intramuscular (IM) treatments, and 152 intranasal esketamine sessions. Real-world clinical studies, such as those in Ann Arbor and Philadelphia, show that many veterans continue on maintenance dosing regimens, often with biweekly sessions that taper over time as symptoms improve.

Broader U.S. Trends

Beyond the VA, the number of ketamine clinics in the United States has risen from about 60 in 2015 to over 1,200–1,500 today. In states like Rhode Island, total ketamine prescriptions increased by approximately 56% between 2017 and 2023. Esketamine prescriptions, in particular, rose by about 1,289% between 2019 and 2023.

Is It “Getting Worse”?

Ketamine use among veterans has expanded dramatically, both in terms of provider availability and the number of veterans treated. This growth aligns with national trends following the FDA’s approval of esketamine in 2019 and the VA’s formal guidance on off-label IV ketamine use issued in 2022. Whether this trend represents a problem depends on perspective.

On the positive side, more veterans now have access to a fast-acting intervention for treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation. However, the rapid adoption raises concerns that informed consent, long-term monitoring protocols, and clinical standardization may not be keeping pace with expansion.

What This Means Going Forward

The VA’s progression, from 19 facilities in 2020, to 39 in 2024, to 105 offering treatment by FY 2023—illustrates the rapid scale-up of ketamine therapies within just a few years. This expansion places increased pressure on the VA to balance access with strong safety oversight, especially for long-term or maintenance use.

Key metrics to watch for those monitoring VA ketamine policy include:

Expansion and enforcement of informed consent procedures
Tracking of long-term outcomes, including mental health, cognitive function, bladder health, and addiction risk
Oversight through VA Office of Inspector General reviews and facility-level audits

Key Studies on Ketamine for Depression

NIH and Academic Trials

Zarate et al., 2006 (NIH)
This landmark double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included 18 patients with treatment-resistant depression. It found rapid antidepressant effects within two hours of IV ketamine, with benefits lasting up to seven days. This was the first rigorous evidence that ketamine is effective for major depression.
Published in Archives of General Psychiatry, 2006

Singh et al., 2016 (Esketamine Trial)
This Phase III randomized trial tested esketamine plus an oral antidepressant in adults with treatment-resistant depression. The combination significantly outperformed placebo and supported the FDA’s approval of Spravato.
Published in Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2016

Feder et al., 2014 (PTSD Study)
This study included both veterans and civilians with chronic PTSD. A single IV dose of ketamine significantly reduced PTSD symptoms for several days.
Published in JAMA Psychiatry, 2014

VA-Related Research

VA Ann Arbor Study (2022)

This real-world study examined IV ketamine use in VA patients. Nearly 50% showed a clinically significant reduction in depression symptoms within six weeks, with some achieving full remission after three to six infusions. The treatment was well tolerated with minimal side effects when properly monitored.
Cited in VA internal reports and the Journal of Affective Disorders

VA Diffusion of Excellence Reports (2022–2024)

These reports summarized outcome tracking across multiple VA sites. Approximately 70% of patients experienced improvement, and 10–15% entered remission. The best results were seen with maintenance dosing, and veterans without severe dissociation or substance abuse histories responded most favorably. Ketamine was also included in suicide prevention pilot programs.

Meta-Analyses and Reviews

Coyle and Laws, 2015
This meta-analysis evaluated nine randomized controlled trials involving over 200 participants. It found that ketamine has a large effect size for depression, with benefits appearing within four hours and peaking at 24 to 48 hours. Effects typically lasted three to seven days per infusion.
Published in Neuropsychopharmacology, 2015

Wilkinson et al., 2018
Conducted by researchers from the VA and Yale, this review focused on ketamine’s effects on suicidal ideation. It found that ketamine produced significant, rapid reductions in suicidal thoughts.
Published in American Journal of Psychiatry, 2018

Studies on Long-Term Safety

Despite promising short-term results, there is still limited data on the long-term safety of ketamine therapy, particularly beyond six to twelve months of use. Researchers and clinicians continue to explore potential risks, including the effects of chronic ketamine use on memory, cognition, and bladder health. Current clinical guidance recommends limiting treatment to short courses with planned tapering, rather than ongoing or indefinite use.

Aspect Status Short-term effects (1–4 weeks) Well-studied, strongly positive Medium-term (2–3 months) Moderate evidence, more real-world data needed Long-term safety (>6 months) Still under study, especially for IV use PTSD/Suicide outcomes Emerging evidence in both civilian and veteran studies VA research Expanding quickly, supported by Diffusion of Excellence programs How does ketamine affect perception?

There is no confirmed public admission or verified report that Peter Thiel takes ketamine.

However, Peter Thiel has a long-standing interest in life extension, transhumanism, and experimental medicine, including:

Funding anti-aging research

Supporting companies involved in cryonics, parabiosis (young blood plasma infusions), and nootropics

Associating with controversial longevity and biohacking ventures

Because of this, some speculate that Thiel might be open to substances like ketamine as part of cutting-edge therapies, but:

There is no credible source confirming that Peter Thiel uses ketamine.

White House Drug Testing Policy: History and Changes When Did Drug Testing in the White House Begin?

Drug testing in the White House began in the 1980s during President Ronald Reagan’s administration, coinciding with the broader “War on Drugs.” This initiative aimed to ensure federal employees, particularly those in national security or sensitive roles, were held to strict drug-free standards.

The policy was formalized with Executive Order 12564, signed in 1986, which declared that the Federal Government is a drug-free workplace. Under this order, White House staffers, especially those with security clearances, could be subject to:

Random drug testing
Pre-employment drug screening
Drug testing following incidents or reasonable suspicion

These procedures became a standard part of maintaining trust and safety within federal operations.

Did Donald Trump Eliminate Drug Testing at the White House?

There is no official record, executive order, or documented memo indicating that the Trump administration formally ended the White House’s drug testing policy. However, multiple news reports and whistleblower claims, particularly in 2020, alleged that drug screening procedures were largely ignored or deprioritized during Trump’s time in office.

According to outlets such as Axios and Politico, White House staffers were reportedly not undergoing routine drug tests, even during the COVID-19 era when workplace policies were under heightened scrutiny. These reports raised concerns about the lax enforcement of what had previously been a strict protocol.

Was This Due to Trump’s Own Alleged Drug Use?

There is no verified evidence that Trump ended or relaxed drug testing due to his own drug use. However, rumors have circulated, particularly from former aides and critics. For example, Noel Casler, a former staffer on The Celebrity Apprentice, alleged that Trump abused Adderall. These claims remain unconfirmed and have not been supported by medical documentation. Trump himself has never publicly admitted to using Adderall, stimulants, or any illegal substances.

Public Figures and Drug or Hormone Use: A Broader Discussion

Elon Musk – Ketamine

In 2023, Elon Musk publicly acknowledged using prescribed ketamine to manage depression. He stated that the medication helps him break free from “negative mental loops.” Ketamine is not illegal when prescribed and is FDA-approved in specific formulations (such as Spravato) for treatment-resistant depression.

Despite its legality, Musk's use has sparked debate due to his role leading SpaceX, a major defense contractor. Critics have questioned whether such use should raise concerns given his security-sensitive responsibilities. Musk has defended his approach, claiming ketamine is a preferable alternative to SSRIs.

RFK Jr. – Testosterone Therapy

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has disclosed that he has used testosterone replacement therapy. He reportedly began this regimen to restore energy levels following health complications. Testosterone therapy is legal with a prescription, though its use—particularly at high doses or for non-medical enhancement—is sometimes viewed as controversial in medical and athletic communities.

Joe Rogan – Hormones and Performance Enhancers

Joe Rogan has openly discussed his use of testosterone, human growth hormone (HGH), and peptides. He considers these substances part of his longevity and performance strategy. Although none of these substances are illegal when prescribed, Rogan’s openness contributes to a larger public debate over the normalization of such therapies, especially among men in high-profile positions in media and politics.

Summary Table

Person Admitted Substance Legal? Public Concern? Trump Rumored Adderall Not confirmed Yes – if true, raises questions about medical fitness and leadership Musk Ketamine (prescribed) Legal Yes – due to defense industry ties and executive responsibilities RFK Jr. Testosterone Legal Yes – concerns about transparency, ethics, and performance enhancement Rogan TRT, HGH, peptides Legal Yes – influential public figure shaping health and lifestyle norms

The trend among powerful men toward prescription-based enhancement — whether it’s ketamine, testosterone, or nootropics — is increasingly visible. While legal in many cases, it raises:

Ethical questions (Should leaders be transparent about their mental health treatments?)

Security concerns (What happens if a world leader is chemically altered?)

Cultural shifts (Are we normalizing “biohacking” as elite self-care?)

TIMELINE: Public Admissions or Reports of Drug Use Among Elites Year Person Substance Type Context 1976 Jimmy Carter’s son (Chip Carter) Marijuana Illegal (then) Arrested for possession while his father was campaigning. 1980s–1990s Bill Clinton Marijuana Illegal (then) Famously claimed: “I didn’t inhale.” 2006 Barack Obama (in memoir) Cocaine, marijuana Illegal Admitted past use in Dreams from My Father. 2016 Joe Rogan Testosterone, HGH Legal (prescribed) Discussed openly on podcast; used for fitness and longevity. 2019 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Testosterone Legal (prescribed) Admitted use in interviews, citing declining health. 2021 Elon Musk Psychedelics (implied), Ketamine Legal (prescribed) Stated he uses ketamine “occasionally” for depression. 2020–2023 Donald Trump (rumors) Adderall (rumored) Unconfirmed Former staffers alleged stimulant use; no official confirmation or records. 2023 Aaron Rodgers Ayahuasca Illegal (U.S.), Legal abroad Said it helped him “transform” and improve performance. 2024 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Testosterone Legal Confirmed again during campaign interviews. Ongoing Silicon Valley execs (e.g., Bryan Johnson, David Asprey) Nootropics, testosterone, peptides Legal Promoting “biohacking” and performance enhancement as a lifestyle.

Elite use is often done under concierge medicine or offshore protocols to bypass scrutiny.

Trends Among the Elite

In elite circles—especially within Silicon Valley—there is a growing trend of using pharmacological and technological tools to enhance performance and well-being. Microdosing psychedelics, taking modafinil, and using bio-identical hormones have become common topics in private networks and among startup founders.

Podcast culture, driven by influential voices like Joe Rogan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Dr. Andrew Huberman, has further normalized the use of testosterone, nootropics, and other enhancement drugs. These substances are often adopted by high-functioning executives and political candidates to combat burnout, cognitive decline, or depression. However, they are not always disclosed publicly, raising questions of transparency and ethics.

Ethical Questions Being Raised

As elite biohacking becomes more visible, several ethical concerns are gaining prominence:

Should public figures be required to disclose their use of substances that could affect cognition or behavior?
Are these developments creating two separate health systems—one for elite enhancement and another for the general population?
What national security risks emerge if leaders use mind-altering or mood-regulating substances?
In an age of enhancement, how should we define cognitive fitness or mental competence for office?

Part 1: Popular Biohacker Stacks Among the Elite

“Stacks” refer to personalized combinations of supplements, medications, and practices aimed at improving cognitive function, mood, longevity, or physical performance. Below is a breakdown of popular biohacking stacks among tech founders, wellness influencers, and longevity enthusiasts.

Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint Stack

Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur behind Braintree and Venmo, spends more than $2 million per year attempting to reverse biological aging through an intensive and data-driven health protocol. His regimen is one of the most comprehensive and publicized in the biohacking world.

The ultra-wealthy tech founder (Braintree/Venmo) who spends over $2 million/year trying to reverse aging.

Category Substances/Practices Hormonal Testosterone (microdosed), DHEA Peptides GHK-Cu, BPC-157, Thymosin Beta-4 Supplements NMN, resveratrol, vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3, glycine, creatine, pterostilbene Nootropics Nicotine gum (microdosed), caffeine (limited), L-theanine Medications Metformin (off-label for longevity), rapamycin (off-label, anti-aging) Devices Red light therapy, plasma apheresis, full-body MRI/ultrasound tracking Diet Strict calorie-controlled vegan diet with biomarker tracking Sleep Protocol Full circadian alignment routine, sleep supplements like magnesium threonate, melatonin Silicon Valley “Executive Stack” Function Substances Cognitive Boost Modafinil, Adderall (off-label), Alpha-GPC, L-tyrosine, noopept Mood/Stability Ketamine (prescribed), microdosed psilocybin, ashwagandha Longevity Metformin, NAD+ boosters (e.g., NMN, NR), resveratrol, rapamycin Fitness/Recovery Testosterone (TRT), HGH, peptides (BPC-157, TB-500), creatine Sleep/Recovery Magnesium glycinate, melatonin, glycine, apigenin (recommended by Huberman) Lifestyle Sauna, cold plunge, neurofeedback, 5-day fasting, stem cell injections (abroad)

What Disqualifies Someone from the U.S. Security Clearance?

Security clearance (Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret) is determined by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and guided by Adjudicative Guidelines for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Information.

Substances That Can Disqualify or Flag Applicants:

Substance Risk Clearance Impact Adderall (without Rx) Controlled substance misuse Likely denial Cocaine, LSD, MDMA Schedule I, past use Can disqualify or delay Ketamine (non-medical use) Schedule III Prescribed = generally OK; misuse = risky Marijuana Still federally illegal Past use may be OK (if disclosed), recent use = denial TRT/Testosterone Prescription only Legal = generally OK unless abused or undeclared Modafinil Schedule IV Legal with Rx; abuse = red flag Psychedelics Illegal federally Use = disqualifier unless distant past + disclosed Steroids (AAS) Schedule III Abuse = denial; TRT with Rx = OK Off-label drugs (e.g., Metformin for aging) Not disqualifying OK if medically supervised Nootropic compounds (Noopept, racetams) Not FDA-approved Case-by-case (imported substances = red flag) Alcohol abuse Major red flag Requires documented rehabilitation, sobriety period

Dishonesty during the application is often worse than past drug use. The government emphasizes full disclosure.

What Is Generally Acceptable?

Prescribed medications, including testosterone, ketamine (Spravato), or modafinil, are generally acceptable if taken under medical supervision, disclosed clearly, and not abused or used to avoid necessary rest or function.

Biohacking routines such as supplements, sleep trackers, red light therapy, and fasting are usually not an issue unless they are tied to risky behavior or medical fraud.

Key Takeaways

Elites are increasingly using pharmacology combined with technology for enhancement, but much of this exists in a legal gray zone. Security clearance depends not only on the substances used but also on honesty, patterns of behavior, and intent.

The government remains cautious about foreign-supplied or experimental compounds, especially if they indicate impulsivity or poor judgment.

Klug Avenue, Norfolk, NE 68701 SMART Meters & Timelines – Psychopath In Your Life ***************************************** do you inherit cancer or better to blame mom and dad vs. sugar ChatGPT said: Yes — but let’s break it down a bit more clearly. Most cancers are not inherited directly, but genetic factors can play a role. Let’s dive in: 1. Inherited vs. Acquired Mutations Inherited (Germline) mutations: These are mutations passed from parent to child through DNA. They’re present in every cell of your body from birth. Inherited mutations cause about 5-10% of all cancers. Some well-known inherited cancer syndromes include: BRCA1 & BRCA2 mutations: Linked to breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Lynch syndrome: Increases the risk of colon, endometrial, stomach, and other cancers. TP53 mutations (Li-Fraumeni syndrome): A rare mutation that raises the risk of multiple types of cancer. APC gene mutations: Associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), leading to a high risk of colorectal cancer. Acquired (Somatic) mutations: Most cancers (about 90-95%) happen due to mutations that occur during a person’s lifetime — often from environmental exposures (like smoking or UV rays), aging, or random mistakes when cells divide. These mutations aren’t passed on to children. 2. How to Know if Cancer Might Run in Your Family Here are signs that a cancer might have a hereditary component: Multiple relatives on the same side of the family with the same or related cancers (e.g., breast and ovarian). Cancer occurring at a younger age than typical (e.g., breast cancer before age 40). Rare cancers showing up (like male breast cancer or certain childhood cancers). One person having multiple cancers (like colon and uterine cancer). If this sounds familiar, genetic testing could help uncover any inherited mutations. 3. Can You Reduce the Risk if You Have a Family History? Yes — having a higher genetic risk doesn’t mean cancer is inevitable. You can still lower your chances: Screening earlier or more frequently — like mammograms, colonoscopies, or MRIs. Preventive surgeries — some high-risk individuals (like those with BRCA mutations) choose to remove breasts, ovaries, or other at-risk tissues. Medications — drugs like tamoxifen or aspirin can lower the risk for specific cancers. Lifestyle changes — healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol make a big difference. The earliest known descriptions of cancer date all the way back to Ancient Egypt around 3000 BCE. The Egyptians described cases of tumors in a medical text known as the Edwin Smith Papyrus — a surgical manual. It mentioned a condition with "bulging tumors" of the breast and stated that there was "no treatment." But the term "cancer" itself comes from Hippocrates — the ancient Greek physician often called the "Father of Medicine" — around 400 BCE. He used the Greek words "carcinos" (crab) and "carcinoma" to describe tumors, because the finger-like spreading projections of the tumors reminded him of a crab’s shape. Later, Galen, a Roman physician (around 200 CE), also used the word "oncos" (Greek for "swelling") — this eventually became the root of "oncology", the study of cancer. It wasn’t until the 17th and 18th centuries that scientists began understanding cancer more deeply, especially when microscopes came into play. Rudolf Virchow, in the 19th century, pioneered the idea that cancer starts from abnormal cells, leading to the foundation of modern cancer research. Surgery — The First Weapon Ancient Egypt (3000 BCE): Early descriptions of tumor removals, though rudimentary. 1800s: The development of anesthesia and antiseptics (thanks to Joseph Lister) made surgery safer and more effective. Modern advancement: Minimally invasive techniques (like laparoscopy and robotic surgery) now allow precise tumor removal with faster recovery times. 2. Radiation Therapy — Harnessing X-rays 1895: Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays. 1896: Emil Grubbe became the first to use X-rays to treat a cancer patient. Today: Radiation has evolved into highly targeted forms like IMRT (Intensity -Modulated Radiation Therapy), proton therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery, which minimize damage to healthy tissue. 3. Chemotherapy — From Poison to Treatment 1940s: Mustard gas (used in WWI) was found to shrink lymph nodes in soldiers — leading to the first chemo drug: nitrogen mustard. 1950s-60s: Scientists developed methotrexate, which cured childhood leukemia and choriocarcinoma (a type of uterine cancer). Today: Chemo drugs are often paired with other treatments in combination therapies. 4. Hormone Therapy — Cutting Cancer’s Fuel Supply 1890s: Sir George Beatson discovered removing the ovaries (cutting off estrogen) could slow breast cancer. 1960s: The drug tamoxifen emerged — it blocks estrogen and remains a key breast cancer treatment today. Modern use: Now used for prostate cancer (blocking testosterone) and other hormone-driven cancers. 5. Targeted Therapy — Going After Cancer’s Weak Spots 2001: Imatinib (Gleevec) became a game-changer — it targeted a specific protein in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells while sparing healthy ones. Now: Dozens of targeted therapies attack specific genetic mutations or proteins in different cancers — like HER2 inhibitors for breast cancer and EGFR inhibitors for lung cancer. 6. Immunotherapy — Unleashing the Immune System 1890s: William Coley experimented with using bacteria to stimulate the immune system — early, rough immunotherapy. 2010: The first cancer vaccine, Provenge, was approved for prostate cancer. 2011: Ipilimumab (Yervoy), a checkpoint inhibitor, was approved — it blocks proteins that stop the immune system from attacking cancer cells. Now: CAR-T cell therapy (personalized immune cells engineered to attack cancer) is making headlines for blood cancers. 7. Precision Medicine — Tailoring Treatment to You 2000s: Advances in genomic sequencing allowed scientists to map cancer DNA. Now: Doctors can test tumors for mutations and pick treatments based on a patient's unique cancer blueprint. 8. CRISPR and Beyond — The Future is Here 2012: CRISPR gene editing became a reality — and now researchers are using it to reprogram immune cells and even cut out cancer-causing genes in early trials. Next steps: Scientists are exploring nanotechnology, cancer vaccines, oncolytic viruses, and even AI-driven drug discovery. ***************************************** Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS), located near Brownville, Nebraska, is owned and operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). It serves as Nebraska's largest single-unit source of carbon-free energy, generating approximately 835 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to supply over 385,000 residential customers during peak demand periods. Transmission of Electricity from CNS to NPPD's Power Stations: Generation at CNS: CNS produces electricity through nuclear fission, converting heat energy into electrical power. Step-Up Transformation: The generated electricity is first sent to a step-up transformer at CNS, which increases the voltage for efficient long-distance transmission. Transmission Lines: The high-voltage electricity is then transmitted via extra-high-voltage transmission lines. These lines are part of NPPD's extensive transmission network, spanning approximately 5,377 miles and covering nearly the entire state of Nebraska. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Step-Down Transformation: Upon reaching NPPD's substations, the voltage is reduced through step-down transformers to levels suitable for distribution and use by consumers. Distribution: The electricity is then distributed through local power lines to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Nebraska. This integrated system ensures that the electricity generated at CNS is efficiently transported and delivered to NPPD's customers, maintaining a reliable and stable power supply throughout Nebraska.

The entire world is run by psychopaths, all imposters. Studies about psychopaths have been VERY misleading to NON-Existent. Robert Hare, the world’s leading “expert” on psychopaths did a study using prison inmates over 20 years ago. That study is the focus of his book published in 1993 titled Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us (reissued 1999). NO studies since then. That study is likely very flawed at best. WHO did Hare base his work on? Hervey Milton Cleckley, M.D. (1903 –1984) was an American psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of psychopathy. His book, The Mask of Sanity, originally published in 1941 and revised in new editions until the 1980s, provided the most influential clinical description of psychopathy in the twentieth century. What is Hervey Cleckley best known for? On many occasions Cleckley was asked to testify at important trials. An example was the 1979 trial of Ted Bundy who murdered more than thirty people. ” Bundy received a mental health evaluation from Hervey Cleckley, when he was on trial for the Florida murders. Cleckley is the “father” of psychopathy. He diagnosed Bundy as a psychopath. Cleckley testified that Bundy was a classic psychopath but was not criminally insane. The Bundy trial was fake, what does this tell you about Cleckley? Bundy was the first televised trial in this country, any televised trials are FAKE. True Crime is FAKE | Ted Bundy | Chris WATTS FAKE Murder – YouTube The Ted Bundy trial is where the definition of psychopaths grew wings, thanks to Cleckley. Vitamins Virgil P. Sydenstricker was a professor of medicine and an internationally recognised specialist in hematology and nutrition. Articles published with Cleckley were among the first to describe an atypical form of pellagra (now known as “niacin deficiency”) which was then endemic in southern states. In 1939 and 1941 they published on the use of nicotinic acid (niacin or vitamin B3) as a treatment for abnormal mental states and psychiatric disorders. The studies have been erroneously used to justify the use of megavitamin therapy in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. Coma shock therapy Cleckley practiced the controversial “coma therapy“, where psychiatric patients would be repeatedly put into comas over several weeks through overdoses of insulin, metrazol or other drugs. In the wake of sometimes fatal complications, Cleckley published in 1939 and 1941 advising on theoretical grounds the prophylactic administration of various vitamins, salts and hormones. In 1951, he also co-published case study research suggesting the use of electronarcosis for various conditions, a form of deep sleep therapy initiated by passing electric current through the brain, without causing seizures as in electroconvulsive therapy, which he also used. Stunning with electricity is known as electronarcosis, and killing with electricity is known as electrocution. Criminal responsibility In 1952 Cleckley, along with Walter Bromberg a senior psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, published an article on the insanity defense. They suggested changing the wording of it to: “In your opinion, was the defendant suffering from disease of the mind and if so, was it sufficient to render him unaccountable under the law for the crime charged?” The concept of ‘accountability’ was intended as an alternative to a narrow definition of ‘responsibility’ under the M’Naghten rules which requires an absence of moral knowledge of right and wrong, in effect only covering psychosis (delusions, hallucinations). They argued that mental illness can involve any part of the mind and that the insanity test should focus on the extent to which the accused’s mind overall, due to some inner pathology ‘whether obvious or masked’, was unable to operate in accord with the law. However, 10 years later, a chapter by Cleckley on “Psychiatry: Science, Art, and Scientism” cautioned others against a common exaggeration of the abilities of psychiatry to diagnose or treat, including in regard to criminal responsibility. In that regard, Cleckley expressed his agreement with a critique by Hakeem, yet Hakeem had quoted Cleckley’s claims about psychopathy as an example of psychiatrists exaggerating how clear their diagnostic terms are to each other. Cleckley was a psychiatrist for the prosecution in the 1979 trial of serial killer Ted Bundy, the first to be televised nationally in the United States. After interviewing Bundy and reviewing two prior reports, he diagnosed him as a psychopath. At the competency hearing a defense psychiatrist also argued that Bundy was a psychopath, however he concluded that Bundy was not competent to stand trial or represent himself, while Cleckley argued that he was competent. Multiple personality In 1956, Cleckley co-authored a book The Three Faces of Eve with Corbett H. Thigpen, his partner in private practice and colleague at the department of psychiatry in Georgia University. It was based on their patient Chris Costner Sizemore who Thigpen especially had treated over several years. They published a research article on the case in 1954, documenting the sessions and how they came to view it as a case of ‘multiple personality’, referencing Morton Prince‘s earlier controversial case study of Christine Beauchamp (pseudonym). They also discussed what is meant by ‘personality’ and identity, noting how it can change even in everyday senses (becoming ‘a new person’ or ‘not himself’ etc.). Such a diagnosis had fallen into relative disuse in psychiatry but Thigpen and Cleckley felt they had identified a rare case, though others have questioned the use of hypnosis and suggestion in creating some if not all of the characterization, and the diagnosis of multiple personality disorder (now dissociative identity disorder) remains controversial despite, or because of, upsurges in diagnoses in America. The book also served as the basis for a blockbuster 1957 film The Three Faces of Eve starring Joanne Woodward, in which Lee J. Cobb played the initial treating psychiatrist and Edwin Jerome the consultant. Both Thigpen and Cleckley received writing credits and reportedly over a million dollars. In the book and film ‘Eve’ is cured of her alternate personalities, but Sizemore states that she was not free of them until many years later. She also alleges that she was not aware the session reports would be published outside of medical circles, or that she was signing over rights to her life story forever (for $3 for the book rights to McGraw-Hill which sold 2 million copies and $5000 for the visual rights (relatives received $2000)). She fought unsuccessfully to stop the publication of videos of her treatment sessions, but in 1989 successfully sued the film studio 20th Century Fox when it wanted to make a parody remake of its film and tried to use a 1956 contract she had signed, without legal representation via Thigpen, to prevent Sissy Spacek optioning Sizemore’s own published book on her life. When Sizemore returned to Augusta for a speaking tour in 1982 neither Thigpen nor Cleckley attended and she did not visit them, though in 2008 she described the diagnosis and treatment of her as courageous. In 1984 Thigpen and Cleckley published a brief communication in an international hypnosis journal cautioning against over-use of the diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. ********************************************************** Who Is Robert Hare? Robert D. Hare was born on January 1, 1934, in Calgary, Alberta. He was raised in a close-knit, working-class family. Hare’s mother had French Canadian roots, and her family dated back to Montreal in the 1600s. Hare’s father was a roofing contractor who spent much of his time during the great depression riding the rails and looking for work. Robert Hare is a Canadian psychologist who made major contributions to the fields of criminal psychology and forensic psychology. He is best known for his research on psychopathy. Hare is the creator of the Psychopathy Checklist and the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised. Hare advises the FBI‘s Child Abduction and Serial Murder Investigative Resources Center (CASMIRC) and consults for various British and North American prison services. Hare is currently a professor emeritus of the University of British Columbia. He is the world’s foremost expert on psychopathy as he has spent more than 30 years studying the condition. Hare now works closely with law enforcement and sits on several law enforcement committees and boards in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States He describes psychopaths as ‘social predators’ while pointing out that most don’t commit murder. He has been nicknamed “Beagle Bob” by his close friends for his ability to follow a scent. How Hare Got Started Frustrated by a lack of agreed definitions or rating systems of psychopathy, including at a ten-day international North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conference in France in 1975, Hare began developing a Psychopathy Checklist. Produced for initial circulation in 1980, the same year that the DSM changed its diagnosis of sociopathic personality to Antisocial Personality Disorder, it was based largely on the list of traits advanced by Cleckley, with whom Hare corresponded over the years. Hare redrafted the checklist in 1985 following Cleckley’s death in 1984, renaming it the Hare Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R). It was finalized as a first edition in 1991, when it was also made available to the criminal justice system, which Hare says he did despite concerns that it was not designed for use outside of controlled experimental research. It was updated with extra data in a 2nd edition in 2003. The PCL-R was reviewed in Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook (1995), as being the “state of the art” both clinically and in research use. In 2005, the Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook review listed the PCL-R as “a reliable and effective instrument for the measurement of psychopathy” and is considered the ‘gold standard’ for measurement of psychopathy. However, it is also criticized. Hare has accused the DSM’s ASPD diagnosis of ‘drifting’ from clinical tradition, but his own checklist has been accused of being closer to the concept of criminologists William and Joan McCord than that of Cleckley Hare himself, while noting his promotion of Cleckley’s work for four decades, has distanced himself somewhat from Cleckley’s work. The problem with the above statement is studying psychopaths in prison is one issue, what about the ones roaming around running things? While the PCL-R has become the gold standard test for identifying psychopathy among prisoners, Hare has been warning about non-criminal psychopaths since he wrote his bestselling book Without Conscience in 1993. What Bob Hare and the FBI say about psychopaths: FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin – July 2012 — LEB Hmmm, warning people that non-criminals could be a thing doesn’t quite cut it;) “UBC professor emeritus Robert Hare, an internationally renowned expert on psychopaths, has offered his side of the story in a heated dispute over the boundaries of academic freedom. One of his adversaries is his former graduate student, SFU psychology professor Stephen Hart, who is also a highly regarded researcher in psychopathology. Who knows, it could have been a trick lawsuit to explain the FACT they never did any real studies. Hare is also co-author of derivatives of the PCL: The Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version (PCL:SV) still requires a clinical interview and review of records by a trained clinician The P-Scan (P for psychopathy, a screening questionnaire for non-clinicians to detect possible psychopathy The Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) to assess youth and children exhibiting early signs of psychopathy The Antisocial Process Screening Device was originally the Psychopathy Screening Device; a questionnaire for parents/staff to fill out on youth, or in a version developed by others, for youth to fill out as self-report. Hare is also a co-author of the Guidelines for a Psychopathy Treatment Program. Hare also co-developed the ‘B-Scan’ questionnaires for people to rate psychopathy traits in others in the workplace. Hare is currently a professor emeritus of the University of British Columbia. He is considered to be the world’s foremost expert on psychopathy as he has spent more than 30 years studying the condition. Hare now works closely with law enforcement and sits on several law enforcement committees and boards in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States He has been nicknamed “Beagle Bob” by his close friends for his ability to follow a scent. What is that old saying? The Fox guarding the Hen House? Better to have us thinking dangerous psychopaths like Bundy are safely locked away. I doubt Bundy is even dead now. The world is staged to deceive. That is how they got us surrounded. My research has not been based on prisoners but the actual psychopaths sitting next to us. Hiding in plain sight. I suspect it is closer to 1 or 2 per FOUR people. A big difference, look around, who is running things? Many people are modeling psychopathic behavior in the quest for more money. Money is even fake, yet people will go the extra mile to get more. I would argue psychopaths oversee every part of society that I have researched. NO Studies have been done outside of the prison population, wonder why? On purpose is the answer. How else could they get us so surrounded. They are even lying about what sex they are. The women are all men wearing wigs. Women truly run the world, but they do it hiding as men. In Summary: Herve Cleckley was the original “researcher” into psychopaths who wrote the Mask of Sanity. Cleckley, testified at the Bundy Trial. Ted Bundy was the first televised trial in the USA. ALL televised trials are fake. Robert Hare based his early research on Cleckley for 40 years. This is where the definition of psychopaths grew wings.

Klug Avenue, Norfolk, NE 68701 SMART Meters & Timelines – Psychopath In Your Life **************************************** Coca leaves and poppies are entirely different plants that produce different types of psychoactive substances. Here’s a breakdown of their differences in relation to cocaine and opiates: Coca Leaves (Erythroxylum coca) → Cocaine Source: Cocaine is derived from the leaves of the coca plant, which is native to South America. Active Compound: Coca leaves contain cocaine alkaloids, which are extracted and chemically processed into cocaine hydrochloride (powdered cocaine) or crack cocaine. Effects: Cocaine is a stimulant, meaning it increases energy, alertness, and euphoria while also raising heart rate and blood pressure. Processing: Coca leaves undergo a chemical process involving solvents (kerosene, gasoline, sulfuric acid, etc.) to extract and refine cocaine into its pure form. Poppy (Papaver somniferum) → Opium, Morphine, Heroin Source: The opium poppy is the plant that produces opium latex, which contains alkaloids like morphine and codeine. Active Compound: Unlike coca leaves, poppies contain opioids, not stimulants. Morphine is the main psychoactive compound extracted from the latex of the poppy pod. Effects: Opioids are depressants, meaning they slow down the central nervous system, providing pain relief, relaxation, and euphoria. Processing: Morphine from opium can be chemically altered to produce heroin, which is a much more potent opioid. Key Differences Feature Coca Leaves (Cocaine) Poppy (Opioids - Heroin, Morphine) Plant Type Shrub (Erythroxylum coca) Flowering plant (Papaver somniferum) Main Drug Cocaine (stimulant) Opioids (depressants) Effects Increased energy, alertness, euphoria Pain relief, relaxation, euphoria Processing Chemical extraction from leaves Latex extraction from poppy pods Common End Products Powdered cocaine, crack cocaine Opium, morphine, heroin In short, coca leaves make cocaine (a stimulant), while poppies produce opium and heroin (opioids, which are depressants). Coca leaves and opium poppies are cultivated in different regions of the world due to climate conditions, demand, and illicit drug trade networks. Here’s a breakdown of their main producing countries: Coca Leaves (Cocaine Production) Coca plants grow mainly in South America, where the climate and altitude are suitable. The top producers are: Colombia 🇨🇴 – Largest producer of coca and refined cocaine. Peru 🇵🇪 – Second-largest coca leaf producer, with traditional uses as well as illicit production. Bolivia 🇧🇴 – Third-largest, with both legal and illegal coca cultivation. Venezuela & Ecuador 🇻🇪🇪🇨 – Smaller-scale coca growing, often for trafficking routes. These countries produce coca, which is processed into cocaine and trafficked mainly to North America and Europe. Opium Poppies (Heroin & Opioid Production) Opium poppy cultivation is spread across different continents, with major production centers in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East: Afghanistan 🇦🇫 – World’s largest producer of illicit opium, supplying most of the heroin to Europe and Asia. Myanmar (Burma) 🇲🇲 – Second-largest producer, with the “Golden Triangle” (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos) being a historic drug hub. Mexico 🇲🇽 – Main supplier of heroin to the U.S., particularly "black tar heroin." Laos & Thailand 🇱🇦🇹🇭 – Smaller-scale production, historically part of the "Golden Triangle." Pakistan & India 🇵🇰🇮🇳 – Some licit and illicit production, with India having government-regulated opium farms for pharmaceuticals. Afghanistan dominates global opium production, while Mexico supplies the U.S. heroin market. The countries that process drugs (turning coca leaves into cocaine and opium poppies into heroin) are often the same as the cultivating nations, but refining can also take place in other locations due to smuggling networks and law enforcement pressure. Here’s a breakdown: Cocaine Processing (From Coca Leaves to Cocaine) Coca leaves are turned into cocaine hydrochloride through chemical extraction and refinement. The main processing countries are: 🇨🇴 Colombia – The largest cocaine producer; has the most sophisticated processing labs. 🇵🇪 Peru & 🇧🇴 Bolivia – Process coca leaves, but much of their raw coca paste is smuggled into Colombia for final refinement. 🇻🇪 Venezuela – A key transit hub, where some small labs refine cocaine. 🇪🇨 Ecuador – Some processing and a major shipping point for cocaine exports. 🇲🇽 Mexico – Although not a major coca grower, Mexican cartels have set up cocaine-processing labs using Colombian-supplied coca paste. 🔹 Key Cocaine Refining Locations: Jungle labs in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and cartel-run labs in Mexico. Heroin Processing (From Opium to Heroin) Raw opium latex from poppies is chemically processed into morphine base and then further refined into heroin. The major processing regions are: 🇦🇫 Afghanistan – The largest heroin producer, processing opium into heroin for global export. 🇲🇲 Myanmar (Burma) – Processes opium from its own poppy fields, mainly for Asian markets. 🇲🇽 Mexico – Produces "black tar heroin" and "Mexican white heroin", mostly for the U.S. market. 🇵🇰 Pakistan – Some heroin processing occurs near the Afghanistan border. 🇮🇷 Iran – A major transit country where some opium is refined into heroin. 🇹🇭 Thailand & 🇱🇦 Laos – Historically part of the Golden Triangle heroin trade, but production has declined. Key Heroin Refining Locations: Mountainous regions in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Mexico, and along Pakistan-Iran borders. Where Are the Drugs Processed and Then Shipped? Cocaine is refined mainly in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, then shipped to North America, Europe, and Africa. Heroin is refined mainly in Afghanistan and Myanmar, then smuggled to Europe, Russia, and the U.S.. Drug smuggling is controlled by organized crime networks that operate across multiple regions, using land, air, and sea routes to distribute cocaine and heroin worldwide. Here’s a breakdown of the major smuggling routes and the cartels or groups involved. Cocaine Smuggling Routes & Organizations Cocaine is primarily produced in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, then smuggled to North America, Europe, and Africa. Main Cocaine Smuggling Routes South America → U.S. (via Mexico) Cocaine from Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia is smuggled north through: Land Routes: Via Venezuela, Ecuador, and Central America. Maritime Routes: Speedboats, submarines, and fishing vessels through the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean. Key Entry Points to the U.S.: Mexico (via cartels) Florida & Gulf Coast (by sea) California & Arizona (overland) South America → Europe Direct Routes: Cargo ships & private jets from Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador to Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal. West Africa as a Transit Hub: Cocaine moves through Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, Nigeria, then into Europe. South America → Asia & Australia Via Africa & Middle East: Smuggled through West Africa, the UAE, and India before reaching China, Japan, and Australia. Major Criminal Organizations Involved in Cocaine Trade 🇨🇴 Colombian Cartels: Clan del Golfo (Gulf Clan) – Largest cocaine producer in Colombia. ELN (National Liberation Army) – Armed group involved in cocaine trafficking. 🇲🇽 Mexican Cartels (Main distributors to the U.S.): Sinaloa Cartel – Led by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán (now imprisoned). Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) – Violent cartel controlling ports. 🇮🇹 ‘Ndrangheta (Italian Mafia) – Major European cocaine traffickers. 🇧🇷 PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) – Brazilian cartel involved in international smuggling. Heroin Smuggling Routes & Organizations Heroin is mainly produced in Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Mexico, then trafficked to Europe, the U.S., and Asia. Main Heroin Smuggling Routes Afghanistan → Europe (via the Balkans) Land Route: Afghanistan → Pakistan → Iran → Turkey → Balkans (Serbia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria) → Western Europe (Germany, France, UK). Maritime Route: Smuggled through Iran and the Arabian Peninsula by boats. Afghanistan → Russia & China "Northern Route": Afghanistan → Central Asia (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan) → Russia. "Southern Route": Afghanistan → Pakistan → India → China. Myanmar → Southeast Asia & Australia Golden Triangle Trade: Myanmar → Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines. Ships heroin to Australia and New Zealand. Mexico → U.S. Mexican black tar heroin is trafficked overland into the U.S. via California, Arizona, and Texas. Major Criminal Organizations Involved in Heroin Trade 🇦🇫 Taliban & Afghan Traffickers – Fund heroin production from poppy fields. 🇲🇲 United Wa State Army (Myanmar) – Largest heroin producer in Southeast Asia. 🇵🇰 Pakistani Drug Syndicates – Move heroin into Iran and India. 🇮🇷 Iranian Cartels – Key heroin traffickers into Turkey and Europe. 🇷🇺 Russian Mafia – Controls heroin trade into Moscow and Eastern Europe. 🇲🇽 Mexican Cartels: Sinaloa Cartel – Dominates U.S. heroin distribution. Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) – Expanding heroin trade. How Are These Drugs Smuggled? By Land – Hidden in trucks, cars, and human couriers ("mules") crossing borders. By Air – Private planes, commercial flights, and drones used to transport small quantities. By Sea – Cargo ships, submarines, and speedboats move large shipments. By Mail & Dark Web – Cryptocurrency payments and shipping drugs in packages. Global Drug Markets & Distribution Cocaine: Top consumers are the U.S., Europe (UK, Spain, France, Italy), Brazil, and Australia. Heroin: Top consumers are Europe (UK, Germany, France), Russia, China, and the U.S.. Italy’s mafia groups, particularly the ‘Ndrangheta, have been known to launder drug money through the agriculture industry, including tomato production and other food exports. While not the only method they use, it's a clever and effective way to "clean" massive amounts of cash from cocaine trafficking. How the Mafia Launders Cocaine Money Through Tomatoes The 'Ndrangheta (Italy’s most powerful cocaine trafficking syndicate) controls huge parts of the agri-food industry, using it to move dirty money. Here’s how: Fake Invoices & Overpriced Goods Mafia-run businesses inflate prices on tomato shipments, billing much more than their actual cost. Example: Selling €5 million worth of tomatoes but only shipping €500,000 worth—the rest is laundered drug money. Fake Exports & Ghost Companies Cartels create fake export records for food shipments that never actually exist. Fake companies "buy" and "sell" tomatoes between themselves, making it look like legitimate business. Controlling the Food Supply Chain The ‘Ndrangheta owns farms, factories, distribution centers, and grocery chains in Italy and across Europe. Cocaine profits get mixed into these businesses as "legitimate revenue." International Trade Networks Mafia-controlled food companies export tomatoes, olive oil, and cheese to Germany, Canada, the U.S., and Australia. These international deals make it easier to move large amounts of cocaine cash into legal markets. Mafia-Controlled Agriculture: Not Just Tomatoes The Italian mafia launders money through many food products, not just tomatoes: Olive Oil – Known as "Mafia Oil," often mixed with lower-quality oils and resold as premium. Cheese & Dairy – Fake invoices used for mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano exports. Wine & Citrus Fruits – Mafia-owned vineyards and farms used for money laundering. Supermarkets & Restaurants – Mafia invests in food supply chains and franchises to clean cash. Why Tomatoes Work So Well for Money Laundering Everyday Essential – Tomato sauce and canned tomatoes are used worldwide, making transactions look normal. Hard to Track – Unlike luxury goods, food products are less scrutinized by authorities. Large Market Size – Italy exports millions of tons of tomatoes, hiding dirty money in a sea of legal transactions. Corrupt Supply Chain – Mafia infiltration in agriculture makes it easy to manipulate records. 🇮🇹 Recent Mafia Busts Involving Food & Cocaine Money 2021 – Italy & Spain Crackdown: Authorities seized €1 billion worth of assets, including farms, supermarkets, and food companies linked to the ‘Ndrangheta. 2020 – Germany-Italy Raid ("Operation Pollino"): Discovered that cocaine profits were laundered through pizza restaurants and olive oil exports. 2018 – “Agromafia” Investigation: Found that mafia-run farms were laundering drug money through the production of fake organic food. Global Impact: Cocaine, Money, and Tomatoes The 'Ndrangheta supplies 80% of Europe’s cocaine and moves billions in illegal profits. Italian mafia exports food products worldwide, meaning laundered money reaches supermarkets in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Authorities struggle to track food-based laundering because the transactions appear legal. The Bottom Line Yes, tomatoes are being used to launder cocaine money—but it’s just one piece of a massive food-based laundering system. The Italian mafia’s control over agriculture and international trade makes it one of the most powerful and secretive drug money machines in the world. 🇮🇹 ‘Ndrangheta: The Most Powerful Cocaine Cartel in the World The 'Ndrangheta, based in Calabria, Italy, is the world’s biggest cocaine trafficker, controlling 80% of Europe's cocaine trade and operating in over 40 countries. Unlike the Sicilian Mafia (Cosa Nostra) or Naples’ Camorra, the ‘Ndrangheta operates under the radar, making billions while avoiding the spotlight. How the ‘Ndrangheta Dominates the Global Cocaine Trade Direct Cocaine Supply from South America Unlike other mafias that rely on middlemen, the ‘Ndrangheta deals directly with South American cartels: Colombia – Works with Clan del Golfo and ELN rebels. Peru & Bolivia – Sources high-purity cocaine from jungle labs. Brazil – Works with Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), using Brazilian ports for shipments. Cocaine Smuggling Routes into Europe Once the cocaine is sourced, the ‘Ndrangheta moves massive shipments into Europe: Maritime Route – Main Entry Cocaine is hidden in shipping containers carrying bananas, coffee, and seafood. Ports controlled by the ‘Ndrangheta: 🇮🇹 Gioia Tauro, Italy (largest mafia-controlled port). 🇧🇪 Antwerp, Belgium (main cocaine gateway to Europe). 🇳🇱 Rotterdam, Netherlands (cartel-linked corruption). 🇪🇸 Valencia & Barcelona, Spain (entry for South American drugs). West Africa Transit Route Cocaine is shipped to Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, and Nigeria, then smuggled into Europe by land. African traffickers work with ‘Ndrangheta to transport drugs to Italy, France, and Germany. Balkan Route Cocaine is transported through Albania, Serbia, and Montenegro, where criminal groups help move it into Eastern and Central Europe. How the ‘Ndrangheta Smuggles Cocaine Hidden Drug Transport Techniques Banana Shipments – Cocaine is sealed inside fruit crates and shipped in refrigerated containers. Luxury Cars & Machinery – Cocaine is packed into hidden compartments of expensive cars, engines, and farm equipment. Yachts & Private Jets – Cartel bosses use private luxury travel to move cocaine undetected. Inside Human Couriers ("Mules") – Cocaine capsules are swallowed or hidden in luggage. 🔹 Example: In 2019, Italian police seized 1.2 tons of cocaine hidden in banana shipments arriving from Colombia. Money Laundering & Corruption Once the cocaine is sold, the ‘Ndrangheta needs to clean its billions in drug profits. How the Mafia Launders Cocaine Money Food Industry & Agriculture – Uses tomatoes, olive oil, cheese, and wine exports to launder money. Luxury Real Estate – Invests in hotels, shopping malls, and casinos across Italy, Germany, Canada, and Australia. Cryptocurrency & Offshore Banking – Uses Bitcoin and shell companies in tax havens like Switzerland, Dubai, and the Caribbean. Fake Construction Contracts – Mafia-run companies win government contracts and inflate costs to hide drug money. Corruption & Political Influence The ‘Ndrangheta controls politicians, police, and port workers to protect their operations. How the Mafia Bribes & Controls Officials Port & Customs Corruption – Pays off dockworkers, customs agents, and security personnel to ensure drug shipments pass unchecked. Local Politicians & Judges – Uses bribes, blackmail, and threats to influence elections and court cases. Police Infiltration – Corrupt officers leak information about investigations. 🔹 Example: In 2021, Italian police arrested Mafia-linked politicians and businessmen for helping the ‘Ndrangheta win multi-million-dollar public contracts. Global Expansion – The ‘Ndrangheta’s Criminal Empire The ‘Ndrangheta isn’t just in Italy—it operates worldwide, controlling cocaine distribution networks across multiple continents. Countries Where the ‘Ndrangheta Operates 🇩🇪 Germany – Controls cocaine supply in major cities (Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich). 🇨🇦 Canada – Works with Montreal Mafia to dominate drug trade in Toronto & Vancouver. 🇦🇺 Australia – Moves cocaine through Sydney & Melbourne, with corrupt port officials. 🇨🇭 Switzerland – Uses Swiss banks to hide drug money. 🇦🇷 Argentina & 🇧🇷 Brazil – Partners with local gangs for cocaine shipments. Example: In 2018, authorities discovered the 'Ndrangheta running cocaine shipments from Argentina to Europe hidden in frozen meat containers. Law Enforcement Crackdowns Despite their secrecy, international operations have targeted the ‘Ndrangheta. Major Police Operations Against the ‘Ndrangheta "Operation Pollino" (2018) – Over 90 arrests in Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. "Operation Rinascita-Scott" (2019) – 300+ mafia members arrested in Calabria. "Operation Eureka" (2023) – Seized tons of cocaine and arrested dozens in Europe and South America. Problem: The ‘Ndrangheta is so secretive that even big busts barely weaken its multi-billion-dollar cocaine empire. The Bottom Line: Why the ‘Ndrangheta Is Unstoppable World’s biggest cocaine trafficker – Controls 80% of Europe's cocaine supply. Direct deals with cartels – No middlemen, allowing massive profits. Corruption & secrecy – Hard to infiltrate, almost no informants. Diversified investments – Uses legal businesses (food, construction, luxury goods) to clean drug money. International reach – Operates in over 40 countries with multi-billion-dollar profits. Mafia Wars: 'Ndrangheta vs. Other Criminal Organizations The ‘Ndrangheta is the world’s most powerful drug cartel, but it faces competition and conflicts with other major crime groups. This has led to alliances, betrayals, and brutal turf wars across the globe. The ‘Ndrangheta’s Biggest Rivals The ‘Ndrangheta fights for power against other powerful criminal organizations: 🇮🇹 Italian Rivals Cosa Nostra (Sicilian Mafia) The ‘Ndrangheta and Cosa Nostra have a long history of cooperation and rivalry. Cosa Nostra dominated Italy in the 20th century but lost power due to high-profile arrests. The ‘Ndrangheta took over the cocaine trade, leaving Cosa Nostra behind. Occasionally work together but have clashed over drug profits. Camorra (Naples Mafia) The Camorra is more chaotic and less structured than the ‘Ndrangheta. Camorra groups smuggle cocaine through Naples, but they don’t control global routes. Wars between Camorra clans often weaken them, leaving the ‘Ndrangheta stronger. 🔹 Example: In 2008, an 'Ndrangheta-Camorra cocaine war led to dozens of killings in Naples. International Rivals 🇲🇽 Mexican Cartels (Sinaloa Cartel & CJNG) Allies & Rivals – The ‘Ndrangheta buys cocaine from Sinaloa & CJNG, but Mexican cartels want direct access to European markets. Tension – If Mexican cartels cut out the ‘Ndrangheta, they could control Europe’s cocaine trade themselves. 🇦🇱 Albanian Mafia One of the ‘Ndrangheta’s biggest threats in Europe. Albanians are known for their brutality, loyalty, and efficiency in smuggling. They control heroin routes and are expanding into the cocaine business, competing with the Italians. Work with Colombian cartels to bypass the ‘Ndrangheta. 🇷🇺 Russian Mafia (Solntsevskaya Bratva) The Russian mafia dominates arms trafficking, cybercrime, and heroin smuggling. Occasional alliances with the ‘Ndrangheta in money laundering and arms deals. Potential conflict – The Russians want a bigger share of cocaine profits in Europe. 🇨🇴 Colombian Cartels (Gulf Clan & ELN Rebels) Suppliers of cocaine to the ‘Ndrangheta. In the past, Colombian cartels controlled drug distribution, but the ‘Ndrangheta cut them out and now buys cocaine directly from producers. Some Colombian groups resent losing control of European routes. 🇳🇬 Nigerian Black Axe & West African Cartels Specialize in heroin, human trafficking, and online fraud. Allies in smuggling – Help move drugs from Latin America through Africa into Europe. However, tensions exist over control of trafficking routes in Spain and the UK. Major Mafia Wars & Conflict Zones The ‘Ndrangheta has been involved in some of the deadliest mafia wars in history. The "Faida di San Luca" War (1991-2010) Internal war between two ‘Ndrangheta clans (Pelle-Vottari vs. Nirta-Strangio). Sparked by a bar fight in San Luca, Calabria, but turned into a massacre. 2007 Duisburg Massacre (Germany) – Six ‘Ndrangheta members were executed outside a pizzeria in retaliation. Dozens killed in vendetta attacks over two decades. Naples Cocaine War (2004-2010) ‘Ndrangheta vs. Camorra over cocaine profits. The ‘Ndrangheta began selling directly to Camorra dealers, cutting out middlemen. Camorra clans fought among themselves, weakening their control. Mexico-Europe Cocaine Tensions (2020-Present) Mexican cartels want direct access to European ports to cut out the ‘Ndrangheta. The ‘Ndrangheta increased security & assassinations to protect their monopoly. Potential for future wars if cartels try to expand into Italy. Law Enforcement vs. The ‘Ndrangheta Despite its secrecy, police forces have stepped up the fight against the ‘Ndrangheta. How Law Enforcement Infiltrates the Mafia Undercover Agents & Informants – Extremely rare, but some defectors have given information. Wiretaps & Surveillance – Italian police listen to coded conversations about drug shipments. Extradition & International Cooperation – Countries work together to arrest key mafia figures. Financial Crackdowns – Seizing mafia-owned businesses and bank accounts. Will the ‘Ndrangheta Ever Fall? Despite crackdowns, the ‘Ndrangheta remains the world’s wealthiest and most powerful mafia. Why It’s So Hard to Destroy 🔹 No Informants – Unlike the Sicilian Mafia, almost no ‘Ndrangheta members become witnesses. 🔹 Family-Based – The organization is built on blood ties, making infiltration nearly impossible. 🔹 Diversified Operations – The ‘Ndrangheta controls legal businesses that fund their criminal empire. 🔹 International Reach – If Italian policecrackdownn, they simply move operations abroad. 🔹 Only Major Weakness – If Mexican cartels, Albanian mafia, and European police forces team up, they could challenge ‘Ndrangheta’s dominance in the cocaine trade. How the Mafia Kills Without Getting Caught The 'Ndrangheta, like other powerful mafias, has perfected the art of assassination while avoiding police detection. Their methods are brutal, precise, and designed to leave no witnesses, no evidence, and no suspects. Types of Mafia Killings Classic Execution (Point-Blank Shooting) Method: Two bullets to the head ("sicilianu lu tempu" execution). Weapons: Silenced pistols (Beretta 92FS, Glock 19, Makarov). Example: In 2013, a high-ranking ‘Ndrangheta member was shot twice in the back of the head while sitting in his car—no witnesses, no evidence. Disappearance ("Lupara Bianca") Method: Victim is kidnapped, killed, and the body is destroyed (burned, acid, or fed to pigs). Why?: No body = no murder case. Example: In 2006, a mafia informer vanished in Calabria—his body was never found. Car Bombs ("Attentato") Method: Mafia rig vehicles with C4 explosives, detonating them remotely. Why?: Used for high-profile targets to send a message. Example: 1992 Bombing of Judge Giovanni Falcone—500 kg of TNT was planted under a highway to kill Italy’s top anti-mafia judge. Fake Robberies & Accidents Method: Victim is shot during a staged robbery or dies in a fake car crash. Why?: Police rule it as random crime or an accident. Example: A businessman who refused to launder drug money "crashed into a tree" in 2018—brakes were later found to be sabotaged. Poison & "Natural Death" Method: Victims are given poisoned food/drinks or injected with undetectable toxins. Why?: No obvious signs of murder. Example: Some Italian politicians suspected of mafia ties died mysteriously before testifying in court. How the Mafia Covers Up Murders No Witnesses – Murders happen in isolated locations, or witnesses are killed. Clean Crime Scenes – Killer's wear gloves, masks, and burn evidence. Police Corruption – Bribe local cops to ignore forensic evidence. Fake Alibis – Killers use lookalikes, fake social media activity, or leave the country during murders. Example: In 2019, a mafia boss was shot inside a crowded restaurant—yet nobody "saw" anything because the entire staff was bribed. Modern Mafia Assassination Techniques Snipers – Used for long-range silent killings. Drones – Drug cartels in Mexico & Italy now use drones with explosives. Cyber Attacks – Hacking medical records to alter cause of death. The Bottom Line: The Mafia’s Perfect Crime ✔ No body, no crime ✔ No witnesses, no case ✔ No forensic evidence, no arrest

Klug Avenue, Norfolk, NE 68701 SMART Meters & Timelines – Psychopath In Your Life ***************************************** Gypsies in the 19th Century. It is estimated that 800,000 Gypsies lived in Europe by the year 1800. They were most numerous in the Balkans and had a substantial presence in Spain and Italy. About this time, a German scholar, Heinrich Gellmann, proved that the Romani language was linked to some languages of India. The first record of Gypsies in Europe is in 1417 in Germany, although it is quite likely that they arrived in Europe much earlier. They came as Christian penitents and claimed to be exiles from a land called “Little Egypt.” Europeans called them “Egyptians, ” which became corrupted as “Gypsies.” 1. Ethnic Background: Gypsies belonged to the Romani ethnic group, which was distinct from the majority populations of the countries they resided in. They had their own language, customs, and cultural practices. 2. Nomadic Lifestyle: Gypsies were known for their itinerant way of life, moving from place to place in caravans or living in temporary camps. They generally engaged in trade, horse trading, entertainment, or craftwork as means of making a living. 3. Distinctive Dress: Gypsies often had distinct clothing styles that set them apart from the local population. They might wear colorful and flamboyant outfits adorned with jewelry, headscarves, and traditional accessories. 4. Occupations: Gypsies were known for their skills in various trades and crafts such as metalworking, horse training, fortune-telling, and music. These occupations were essential to their survival and contributed to their reputation as a distinct and somewhat mysterious community. 5. Discrimination and Stereotypes: In the 19th century, Gypsies faced widespread discrimination and prejudice, often being viewed as social outcasts. They were subjected to various legal restrictions and social stigma imposed by the majority society. It is important to note that the term “Gypsy” itself carries negative connotations today, and it is more appropriate to use the term “Romani” when referring to the people from this community. What are common surnames among the Romani people? In the 19th century, some common surnames among the Romani people included Smith, Lee, Boswell, Cooper, Ayres, Harris, Stanley, Wood, Brown, Taylor, and Young. These names were often adopted by Romani families as they interacted with settled communities and sought to blend in or avoid discrimination. However, it is important to note that the Romani people are not a homogeneous group, and surname usage can vary depending on regional and cultural factors. ***************************************** 661 Arab Empire: Indians (Zott) brought from India to Mesopotamia. 669 /670 Arab Empire: Caliph Muawiya deports Gypsies from Basra to Antioch on the Mediterranean coast. c. 710 Arab Empire: Caliph Walid resettles Zott from Mesopotamia to Antioch. 720 Arab Empire: Caliph Yazid II sends still more Zott to Antioch. 820 Arab Empire: Independent Zott state established in Mesopotamia. 834 Arab Empire: Zott defeated by Arabs and many of them resettled in border town of Ainzarba. 855 Arab Empire: Battle of Ainzarba fought.

Early Separatists from the Church of England. They were named after Robert Browne, who was born at Tolethorpe Hall in Rutland, England, in the 1550s. The terms Brownists or Separatists were used to describe them by outsiders; they were known as Saints among themselves. In 1608, a congregation of disgruntled English Protestants from the village of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, left England and moved to Leyden, a town in Holland. These “Separatists” did not want to pledge allegiance to the Church of England, which they believed was nearly as corrupt and idolatrous as the Catholic Church it had replaced, any longer. Most of the Separatists aboard the Mayflower in 1620 were Brownists, and Pilgrims were known into the 20th century as the Brownist Emigration. First, the Separatists returned to London to get organized. A prominent merchant agreed to advance the money for their journey. The Virginia Company gave them permission to establish a settlement, or “plantation,” on the East Coast between 38- and 41-degrees north latitude (roughly between the Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of the Hudson River). And the King of England gave them permission to leave the Church of England, “provided they carried themselves peaceably.” In August 1620, a group of about 40 Saints joined a much larger group of (comparatively) secular colonists—“Strangers,” to the Saints—and set sail from Southampton, England on two merchant ships: the Mayflower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell began to leak almost immediately, however, and the ships headed back to port in Plymouth. The travelers squeezed themselves and their belongings onto the Mayflower, a cargo ship about 80 feet long and 24 feet wide and capable of carrying 180 tons of cargo. The Mayflower set sail once again under the direction of Captain Christopher Jones. Because of the delay caused by the leaky Speedwell, the Mayflower had to cross the Atlantic at the height of storm season. As a result, the journey was horribly unpleasant. Many of the passengers were so seasick they could scarcely get up, and the waves were so rough that one “Stranger” was swept overboard. (It was “the just hand of God upon him,” Bradford wrote later, for the young sailor had been “a proud a and very profane younge man.”) 1621 Eventually, the Plymouth colonists were absorbed into the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony. Still, the Mayflower Saints and their descendants remained convinced that they alone had been specially chosen by God to act as a beacon for Christians around the world. “As one small candle may light a thousand,” Bradford wrote, “so the light here kindled hath shone to many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.” The Brownists were eventually absorbed into the Mennonite Church, while others joined the Baptist Church. (They were not the same as the Puritans, who had many of the same objections to the English church but wanted to reform it from within.) The Separatists hoped that in Holland, they would be free to worship as they liked In fact, the Separatists, or “Saints,” as they called themselves, did find religious freedom in Holland, but they also found a secular life that was more difficult to navigate than they’d anticipated. For one thing, Dutch craft guilds excluded the migrants, so they were relegated to menial, low-paying jobs. Even worse was Holland’s easygoing, cosmopolitan atmosphere, which proved alarmingly seductive to some of the Saints’ children. (These young people were “drawn away,” Separatist leader William Bradford wrote, “by evill [sic] example into extravagance and dangerous courses.”) For the strict, devout Separatists, this was the last straw. They decided to move again, this time to a place without government interference or worldly distraction: the “New World” across the Atlantic Ocean. Did you know? The Separatists who founded the Plymouth Colony referred to themselves as “Saints,” not “Pilgrims.” The use of the word “Pilgrim” to describe this group did not become common until the colony’s bicentennial. Mayflower Descendants There are an estimated 10 million living Americans and 35 million people around the world who are descended from the original passengers on the Mayflower like Myles Standish, John Alden and William Bradford. include Humphrey Bogart, Julia Child, Norman Rockwell, and presidents John Adams, James Garfield and Zachary Taylor.

During the War of 1812, many tribes allied with either the US or Britain, with many who chose to ally with the British viewing them as less of a threat than the growing United States. The Burning of Washington is the name given to the burning of Washington, D.C., by British forces in 1814, during the War of 1812. Strict discipline and the British commander's orders to burn only public buildings are credited with preserving most residences, but as a result the facilities of the U.S. government, including the White House, were largely destroyed.

The news of gold brought approximately 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. The sudden influx of gold into the money supply reinvigorated. The Orphan Train Movement was a social experiment that transported children from crowded coastal cities of the United States, such as New York City and Boston, to willing foster homes across the country. The orphan trains ran between 1854 and 1929, relocating an estimated 250,000 orphaned, abandoned, or homeless children. 1855 Romania: Gypsy slaves in Moldavia emancipated. 1856 Romania: Gypsy slaves in Wallachia emancipated. 1860 Sweden: Immigration restrictions eased. Because of the Circassian genocide, which was perpetrated by the Russian Empire during the Russo-Circassian War in the 19th century, most of the Circassian people were exiled from their ancestral homeland and consequently began living in what was then the Ottoman Empire—that is, modern-day Turkey and the rest of the Middle East. In the early 1990s, the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization estimated that there are as many as 3.7 million Circassians in diaspora in over 50 countries. The two Circassian languages—western Adyghe and eastern Kabardian—are natively spoken by the Circassian people. In May 1864, a final battle took place between the Circassian army of 20,000 Circassian horsemen and a fully equipped Russian army of 100,000 men The American Civil War, also known as the War Between the States or simply the Civil War (see naming), was a civil war fought from 1861 to 1865 in the United States after several Southern slave states declared their secession and formed the Confederate States of America (the "Confederacy" or the "South"). North America's first transcontinental railroad (known originally as the " Pacific Railroad " and later as the "Overland Route") was a 1,911-mile (3,075 km) continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. 1865 Scotland: Trespass (Scotland) Act introduced. 1868 Holland: New immigration of Gypsies reported. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. Usually considered one of the most consequential amendments, it addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law and was proposed in response to issues related to formerly enslaved Americans following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by the states of the defeated Confederacy, which were forced to ratify it in In United States history, the Gilded Age is the period from about the late 1870s to the late 1890s, which occurred between the Reconstruction era and the Progressive Era.

Unlike in many southeastern European countries, Romani people (Gypsies*) make up only a small portion of the Lithuanian population (2 500 people) but they used to be very visible for those who seek. Next to Vilnius international airport, there was a unique Gypsy district ("Taboras") full of illegally constructed wooden shacks whose owners refuse to. Gypsies are noted in the 12th-century history of Constantinople as bear keepers, snake charmers, fortune tellers, and sellers of magic amulets to ward off the evil eye. Balsamon warned the Greeks to avoid these "ventriloquists and wizards" that he said were in league with the Devil. Symon Simeonis describes Gypsies in Crete (1323) as "asserting themselves to be of the family of Ham. They rarely or never stop in one place beyond thirty days, but always wandering and fugitive, as though accursed by God ... from field to field with their oblong tents, back and low." Gypsies living in Modon are described in 1497 by Arnold von Harff as "many poor black naked people ... called Gypsies ... follow all kinds of trade, such as shoemaking and cobbling and also smithery." Gypsies are reported in Serbia in 1348; Croatia in 1362 (as goldsmiths); and Romania in 1378—as slaves put to work as barbers, tailors, bakers, masons, and household servants. Gypsies first surfaced in Switzerland, Hungary, Germany, and Spain in 1414–1417. During this time, they traveled about with a safe-conduct (similar to a passport) from Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. After Sigismund died, Gypsies traveled around Europe with safe-conduct letters from the Pope. Those from Sigismund were legitimate, but the supposed papal letters were forgeries. Hermann Conerus wrote this about Gypsies: "They traveled in bands and camped at night in the fields outside the towns ... They were great thieves, especially their women, and several of them in various places were seized and put to death." In Switzerland, it was noted that Gypsies wore rags that resembled blankets but were bedecked in gold and silver jewelry. The Gypsy women became known as palm readers and petty thieves suspected of sorcery. Many towns in Europe began to pay Gypsies to go away as soon as they appeared. A Bologna chronicle from 1422 gave this account of a visit from a Gypsy group "Amongst those who wished to have their fortunes told, few went to consult without having their purse stolen . . . The women of the band wandered about the town, six or eight together; they entered the houses of the citizens and told idle tales, during which some of them laid hold of whatever could be taken. In the same way, they visited the shops under the pretext of buying something, but one of them would steal." In the 15th century, the Gypsies spread many myths about themselves around Europe. The greatest of these myths was outlined in the forged papal letter. The letter stated that the Gypsies had been sentenced by the Pope for their collective sins to live as nomads, never to sleep in a bed. Along with that sad tale, the letter instructed the people reading it to give the Gypsies food, money, and beer and exempt them from any tolls and taxes. Even though the majority of Gypsy people left the Ottoman Empire and moved on to Europe, some remained. Suleiman the Magnificent issued a decree to regulate Gypsy prostitution in 1530. It is known that Gypsy men played a significant role as miners in the Ottoman Empire of the 16th century. Others were watchmen, iron workers, and charcoal burners. In 1696, Sultan Mustafa II issued orders for Gypsies to be disciplined for their immoral and disorderly lifestyles. They were described as "pimps and prostitutes." But we also find that Gypsy people worked in the Ottoman Empire as broom-makers, chimney-sweeps, musicians, weapon-repairers, and in the manufacture of weapons and ammunition. Gypsies are first noted as musicians in European history in 1469 (Italy). In 1493, they were banned from Milan because they were beggars and thieves who disturbed the peace. While a turban-wearing Gypsy woman told your fortune, her children would pick your pockets. It was said that the Gypsy women cast spells and practiced witchcraft; the Gypsy men were experts at picking locks and pilfering horses. Settled people are usually suspicious of rootless, masterless wanderers with no fixed address. The Gypsies traveled about Europe as did no other people, so they knew more than most about what was happening in various countries and the activities of their inhabitants. This led to rumors that Gypsies were being used as spies. In 1497, the Diet (legislature) of the Holy Roman Empire issued a decree that expelled all Gypsies from Germany for espionage. In 1510, Switzerland followed suit and added the death penalty. A Swiss chronicler denounced Gypsies as "useless rascals who wander about in our day, and of whom the most worthy is a thief, for they live solely for stealing." One hundred thirty-three laws against Gypsies were passed in the Holy Roman Empire between 1551 and 1774. One of those, passed in 1710, made it a crime to be a Gypsy woman or an old Gypsy man in Germany. They were widely viewed as a godless and wicked people. Violators were to be flogged, branded, and deported. “What hath God wrought?” Although the query posed by Samuel Morse related to the unforeseeable consequences of his “Morse code” telegraphic breakthrough, it could just as easily have been directed at the topic of the religious pilgrimage to America. For it was a God-fearing Pilgrim sect called the Puritans who inadvertently set the wheels in motion for a vast criminal reign that would rule the New World two centuries hence. Espousing a dogmatic, Bible-ruling theocracy, these seventeenth-century settlers to colonial America set the stage for a hedonistic backlash that reverberates to this day. Their humanity-denying canon in fact helped contribute the most unsightly fabric to the patchwork of the soon-to-benamed United States of America. The “law of unintended consequences” was never more aptly applied. The late-nineteenth-century immigration wave deposited an assemblage of new citizens on America’s shores, many fr To be a Gypsy man in Germany was to be given a life sentence of prison and hard labor. Children of Gypsy people were taken away from them and put into good Christian homes. In the face of this persecution, we find Gypsy men in Germany forming gangs and turning violent in the eighteenth century. A huge crowd gathered at Giessen, Hesse, to watch the executions of 26 Gypsies in 1726. They were a gang led by the notorious Hemperla (Johannes la Fortun). Some were hung; some were beheaded. The most famous of the German Gypsy brigands was Hannikel (Jakob Reinhard). He was hanged in 1783, along with three of his henchmen, for murder. Hannikel had himself a little army, which included women and children. His father was a platoon drummer. In view of this violence, the King of Prussia decided in 1790 that Gypsy men should all be drafted into the military. Other European countries followed suit, and Gypsy men have since served as soldiers for every country in Europe. Sign warning Gypsies they will be flogged and branded if they enter the Netherlands (1710) We first find Gypsies in Scotland in 1505 as tinkers, peddlers, dancers, raconteurs, guisers, and mountebanks. In 1609, the Vagabonds Act was aimed at Gypsies, and four male members of the Faw family were hung in 1611 for not maintaining a permanent address. Eight more men, six of them with the last name of Faa, were hanged in 1624 for being "Egyptians." The Scottish Gypsy surnames Faa and Baille go back perhaps 500 years. A new decree was issued in 1624 that traveling Gypsy men would be arrested and hanged, Gypsy women without children would be drowned, and Gypsy women with children would be whipped and branded on the cheek. Billy Marshall was a famous Gypsy King in Scotland. He died in 1792 after living 120 years. Billy Marshall fathered over 100 children, some by his 17 wives and some by other women. In England, the Egyptian Act of 1530 was passed to expel Gypsies from the realm, for being lewd vagabonds, conning the good citizens out of their money, and committing a rash of felony robberies. In 1562, Queen Elizabeth signed an order designed to force Gypsies to settle into permanent dwellings or face death. Several were hanged in 1577, nine more in 1596, and 13 in the 1650s. Under King James I, England began to deport Gypsy people to the American colonies, as well as Jamaica and Barbados. Dumping undesirables into the colonies became a widespread practice, not only Gypsies but also "thieves, beggars, and whores." Abram Wood and his family were the first Gypsies to settle in Wales circa 1730. Abram was a great fiddler and storyteller. He became known as the King of the Welsh Gypsies. The sons and grandsons of Abram Wood mastered the national instrument of Wales: the harp. Gypsy mule clippers in Spain (lithograph by Villain) In Provence, it seems the Gypsies were welcomed. It is there that they first began to be called Bohemians. People flocked to them to have their fortunes told. The Gypsies claimed to have dukes and counts among them and later added captains and kings. The Spanish nobility protected the Gypsies at first. Gypsy women were adored for their beauty and seductive charms; Gypsy men were admired as excellent judges of the quality of horses and hired by nobles to procure them for their stables. But in 1499, King Charles expelled all Gypsies from Spain under penalty of enslavement. King Philip III again ordered all Gypsies (who were called Gitanos) out of Spain in 1619, this time under penalty of death. An exception was granted for those who would settle down in one place, dress as Spaniards, and stop speaking their ancient language. Philip IV lowered the penalties to six years on the galleys for men and a good flogging for women in 1633. The city with the most Gypsies was, at the time, Seville. Many Gypsies were publicly flogged there for deceiving the populace by claiming to reveal secrets by divination, heal the sick by magic, cast spells, and for selling maps to buried treasure. A new plan was hatched and executed in 1749, by which all Gypsies in Spain (est. 12,000) would be rounded up in a single night and forced into slavery, with their possessions confiscated. Gypsy women were sent to work as spinners, boys in factories, men in mines and shipyards. Fourteen years later, they were freed by King Charles III. In 1783, legislation was enacted whereby all Gypsy people were required to maintain a permanent address (but not in Madrid). However, this bill banned them from working in many of their popular livelihoods, such as shearing, trading in markets or fairs, and innkeeping. Those who continued to live as nomads were to have their children taken from them and placed in orphanages; a second offense would result in execution. Portugal banned Gypsies in 1526, and any of them born there were deported to the Portuguese African colonies. The first record of Gypsy people being deported to Brazil appears in 1574. Whole groups of them were sent to Brazil in 1686. There were also times in the seventeenth century when the policy was only to send Gypsy women to the colonies, while the men were enslaved on galleys. Hungarian Gypsies at Carpentras in 1868 (painting by Denis Bonnet) The King of France, Charles IX, banned Gypsies in 1561. He ordered that any Gypsy man caught in France be sentenced to three years on the galleys, although they were pronounced a non-violent people. In 1607, Henry IV enjoyed Gypsy dancers at court. By 1666, Gypsy men were again condemned to galleys—this time for life—and Gypsy women caught in France had their heads shaved. The Gypsies were declared royal servants in Hungary and valued as smiths and makers of fine weaponry. They were called "Pharaoh's people" on official Hungarian documents. In a letter from the queen's court in Vienna (1543) it says, "here the most excellent Egyptian musicians play." Gypsies also served as messengers and executioners. Gypsies were expelled from Denmark in 1536 and Sweden in 1560. All these problems with the authorities of European countries resulted in many Gypsy encampments being set up in remote areas on borders since police had no authority beyond their provinces. More and more Gypsy men and women were being flogged and branded. Ferenc Bunko's Band 1854 (Drawing by Varsanyl) A census was conducted in Hungary (1783) that counted over 50,000 Gypsies. They are described as wanderers who lived in tents except in winter, when they retreated into cave dwellings. Gypsies had no chairs or beds, did not use kitchen utensils, ate mostly meat and noodles, loved tobacco and alcohol. They were disdained for eating carrion. Gypsy people had only one set of clothes but lots of jewelry. They were known to be peddlers, beggars, and thieves. Gypsy men were renowned as excellent horsemen and horse traders. Some worked as skinners, as makers of sieves or wooden implements, as gold-sifters or gold-washers, even as tavern keepers. Gypsies were known as exceptionally proud people but with little shame or honor. Parents loved their children very much but did not educate them. The Gypsy way of life was contrary to the rules of every organized society. And those who did settle down were disdained by those who continued as nomads. An early reading waggon in Nottingdale, London, 1879 Gypsies in the 19th Century It is estimated that 800,000 Gypsies lived in Europe by the year 1800. They were most numerous in the Balkans and had a substantial presence in Spain and Italy. About this time, a German scholar, Heinrich Gellmann, proved that the Romani language was linked to some languages of India. Although these people would no longer be considered Egyptians, the name Gypsy stuck (as well as the word "gyp"). During the 19th century, Gypsies became prominent as musicians, chiefly in Hungary, Spain, and Russia. Hungarian nobility developed a tradition of having a Gypsy minstrel next to the host of a banquet to play for his guests. Before long, Gypsy bands proliferated, always including a virtuoso violinist. The first famous Gypsy violinist was Janos Bihari, from Bratislava, who performed at the Congress of Vienna in 1814. By 1850, Gypsy music was popular all over Europe. Gypsy groups went on the road to perform, some as far as America. In 1865, Ferenc Bunko played for the King of Prussia. Imitators of the famous Gypsy bands were soon ubiquitous in Europe, playing in taverns, markets, fairs, festivals, and weddings. In Russia, Gypsies were beloved more for their singing talents. Most every noble family employed a Gypsy chorus, with Gypsy women (who were also dancers) in the main roles, accompanied by a seven-string Russian guitar. The first recorded singer of flamenco music in Spain is a Gypsy man, Tio Luis el de la Juliana. Types of English Gypsy vans The Census of Hungary in 1893 identified 275,000 Gypsies, with most of them by now sedentary, gathered in their own enclaves. Ninety percent of the Gypsy people were illiterate; 70 percent of Gypsy children did not attend school. Besides musicians and horse traders, the Gypsy men were primarily engaged as smiths, brickmakers, and construction workers. Women were mostly hawkers. The largest concentration of them was in Transylvania. In Victorian England, we see the emergence of Gypsy caravans with horse-drawn wagons (vardos) and donkeys or mules in trains. Nomadic Gypsies still lived in tents—even in winter. The Gypsy folk are noted currently as tinkers, potters, basket makers, brush makers, and cheapjack's. It was also in the nineteenth century that they became known as Travelers. It appears that the Gypsy population in Britain was about 13,000 by 1900. The Gypsies served a useful function by distributing goods to remote towns and villages not yet served by trains. They enlivened village festivals with their musicianship, singing, and dancing. They gained a good reputation as people who could repair almost anything. Townsfolk would await the arrival of the Travelers to hear the latest news and gossip from other parts of the realm. Gypsies were also quite involved in the harvesting of hops in England and Ireland, while their womenfolk worked carnivals and fairs telling fortunes. One writer invited tourists to come and see the Gypsies but advised them to come in the morning, as at night the Gypsies are inebriated. The coming of mechanized harvesting machines, as well as cheap machine-manufactured goods, lessened the demand for work common to Gypsy travelers. French Gypsies In Romania, 200,000 Gypsy persons were still enslaved in the first half of the nineteenth century. They worked as grooms, coachmen, cooks, barbers, tailors, farriers, comb makers, and domestic servants. Their master's could kill them with impunity. One reformer described the treatment of these slaves in Iasi: "human beings wearing chains on their arms and legs, others with iron clamps round their foreheads ... Cruel floggings and other punishments, such as starvation, being hung over smoking fires, being thrown naked into a frozen river ... children torn from the breasts of those who brought them into the world, and sold ... like cattle." Before World War One, Gypsies drew huge crowds in England and France when they would wander into a town. People longed to see Gypsy women in person, with gold coins around their necks and bosoms, as well as in their hair-plaits. Gypsy men would call on factories, breweries, hotels, and restaurants in search of work repairing copper vessels and the like. The United States welcomed many Ludar, or "Romanian Gypsies" (actually, most were from Bosnia) from 1880 to 1914. These people joined circuses as animal trainers and performers. Passenger manifests show that they brought bears and monkeys with them across the Atlantic. Gypsy woman Gypsy Marriage Traditions In traditional Gypsy culture, the father arranges the marriage of his son with the father of a prospective bride. The young people generally have the right of refusal. The father of the groom pays a bride-price, which varies according to the status of the two fathers and the two families, as well as the girl's potential as an earner and "history." The new couple then reside with the parents of the groom. The new bride must perform household duties for her in-laws. Sometimes, families exchange daughters as brides for their respective sons. A great fear of Gypsy people through the ages has been of the mullo (a ghost or vampire). In some tribes of Gypsies, it is customary to destroy all property belonging to a dead person to prevent them from haunting the living. In England, this would include the person's living-wagon (van). The Gypsies also dread being declared "polluted" by their clan, which is social death. One can become polluted (defiled) by contact with an unclean female, whose lower parts are considered marime. This term is complicated, but we can safely say it has much to do with genitalia, bodily functions, puberty, menstruation, sex, pregnancy, and childbirth. Kalderash women on the march in England, 1911 Gypsies in the 20th Century Gypsies were never well received in Germany. Near the close of the 19th century, things got worse as Germans subscribed to the theories of Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso. One of his ideas was that criminality is inherited. As one proof of this, Lombroso pointed to the Gypsies, whom he described as generation after generation of people who are vain, shameless, shiftless, noisy, licentious, and violent. Not to mention puppeteers and accordion players. In 1886, Bismarck noted "complaints about the mischief caused by bands of Gypsies traveling about in the Reich and their increasing molestation of the population." In 1899, a clearing house was set up in Munich to collate reports of the movements of Gypsies. The general German opinion was that the nomadic Gypsies used the cover of being entertainers and perfume dealers but focused on begging and stealing. In 1905, Alfred Dillmann distributed his Gypsy Book to police around Europe. The book profiled 3,500 Gypsies. Dillmann hoped it would help eradicate the "Gypsy Plague." By 1926, laws were passed that made it compulsory for Gypsies in Germany to have a permanent address and maintain regular employment. Violators were sentenced to two years in a workhouse. The reason for this penalty was: "These people are by nature opposed to all work and find it especially difficult to tolerate any restriction of their nomadic life; nothing, therefore, hits them harder than loss of liberty, coupled with forced labor." In Switzerland, after 1926, Gypsy children were taken from their parents; their names were changed and placed in foster homes. This policy ended in 1973. Nazi spokesman Georg Nawrocki had this to say in 1937: "It was in keeping with the inner weakness and mendacity of the Weimar Republic that it showed no instinct for tackling the Gypsy question ... We, on the other hand, see the Gypsy question as above all a racial problem, which must be solved and which is being solved." The National Socialists designated Gypsies, along with Jews, for annihilation. Dr. Robert Ritter, a Nazi scientist, wrote in 1940: "Gypsies [are] a people of entirely primitive ethnological origins, whose mental backwardness makes them incapable of real social adaptation ... The Gypsy question can only be solved when ... the good-for-nothing Gypsy individuals ... [are] in large labor camps and kept working there, and when further breeding of this population ... is stopped once and for all." The National Socialist Workers Party (NAZI) rounded up the Gypsies for "protective custody" and shipped them off to concentration camps. Gypsy persons were forcibly sterilized, the subjects of medical experiments, injected with typhus, worked to death, starved to death, froze to death, and gassed in various numbers. The total dead at the hands of the Nazis is estimated to be 275,000. By the 1960s, Gypsy caravans were now mostly drawn with motorized vehicles, and tents had largely been replaced by rough shacks. Many took up residence in state-supplied slum housing. Most Gypsies remained uneducated and illiterate. Many of the men became scrap dealers, and some worked with copper to produce ornamental, decorative pieces of art. Gypsy women were still noted for fortune telling and begging. Some Gypsy children turned to shoplifting, picking pockets, and stealing from vehicles since they were immune to prosecution. One would expect that Gypsy people would have fared well under Communist regimes, what with their stated philosophy of equality for all. But entrepreneurial activities were illegal in Communist states, and these were the specialties of Gypsies. There were 134,000 Gypsies in the Soviet Union in 1959; by the census of 1979, they numbered 209,000. Nomadism was against Soviet law. Work in Soviet factories and farms held little appeal to Gypsies. Starting in the 1950s, Poland offered housing and employment to Gypsies, but most continued to wander. Therefore, Gypsies were forbidden to travel in caravans in 1964. This law was strictly enforced, and within two years, 80 percent of Gypsy children were enrolled in school. In Czechoslovakia, a law was passed in 1958 that forced Gypsies into settlements. Violators had their horses killed and wagons burned. The Czech people looked down on Gypsies as a primitive, backward, and degenerate people. Two hundred twenty-two thousand of them were counted in the 1966 census, and 9 percent of all babies born that year in Czechoslovakia were Gypsies. Their numbers rose to 288,000 by 1980. Romania, in the early 1970s, tried to obliterate Gypsy culture and force the Gypsies into squalid ghettos. Their valuables were confiscated, including their favorite form of savings—huge old gold coins. Bulgaria forbade Gypsies to travel and closed their associations and newspapers. Things were better under the milder form of Communism practiced in Yugoslavia. There we see television and radio stations that broadcast in the Romani language. Gypsies began to participate in regional politics, and a few hundred of them became doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Still, only 20 percent of Gypsy adults had even attended elementary school. They settled in small towns and began buying and selling ready-made goods, surplus and seconds, and used clothing. Gypsy dancer Gypsies embraced education more readily in Britain. They seemed to become aware that at least basic school learning is necessary in the modern age. It is handy to be able to write estimates and receipts; to read plans and manuals; to hold a driving license and insurance; and mostly, to be able to deal with Britain's social services bureaucracy. A 1989 report by the European Community stated that only 35 percent of 500,000 Gypsy children in the 12 member states attended school regularly; half had never been to school even one time; hardly any went on to secondary education; and Gypsy adults had an illiteracy rate of 50 percent. Spain decided to integrate the Gypsies, but there was a fierce backlash from Spanish citizens against having Gypsies as neighbors or having their children attend school with Gypsy children. In Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria, settled Gypsy families were beaten up and their houses set on fire. For this reason, some reverted to the nomadic life. The Caravans—Gypsy Camp Near Arles (painting by Vincent van Gogh) Gypsies Today Today, there are five or six million Gypsies living in Europe. Over one million live in Romania; half a million in both Bulgaria and Hungary; a quarter of a million in Russia, Spain, Serbia, and Slovakia. In France and Italy, Gypsy families still work the circus and fairgrounds. In many countries, they operate repair services of various types; sell used cars, furniture, antiques, and junk; sell carpet and textiles. They still hawk, make music, and tell fortunes. One new development is the rise in Pentecostalism among Gypsies. There is even a Gypsy Evangelical Church, with over 200 churches in France alone. There have been six World Romani Congress forums held from 1971 to 2004 to discuss how best to press for rights for the Gypsy people. Answer: It is estimated that we have one million Gypsies in America. I certainly do not consider them 'pests' and in my long life have never heard them described as anything but people - just like everybody else. Question: My exposure to the gypsy culture was a gift however do they still sell off their daughters around age 9 to much older men? Do they still lack official birth names, social security numbers, consistent addresses, and or bank accounts? Do they still sell junk RV's to old people that have been spray painted and molded with bondo? This was what I experienced. Answer: I am not aware of the selling of children to old men. I would think most of them do have government papers but maybe not consistent addresses. As to the RV question I would guess 'yes' but I have no evidence to back that up.
