Episode 4 Napoleon Ancient Egyptian Thought

The History of Ancient Egypt

Professor Robert Brier

Film Review

During Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt,* he brought along 150 scientists, artists and engineers, as well as 55,000 troops. Among the intellectual were Danon (the first director of the Louvre), the botanist/painter Redouté, the zoologist St Hillaire, the mathematicians Fouet and Monge and the engineer Nicola Conte. He also introduced the first Arabic printing presses (which he “liberated” from Vatican) to Egypt. The speech he delivered to the Egyptians shortly after landing (announcing he had come to free them from the Mamukls*) was the first modern document printed in Arabic.

Brier describes in some detail Napoleon’s march to Cairo (in which many troops died of thirst because the locals had filled in their wells), his Battle of the Pyramids (which he won) and his Battle of the Nile (in which Admiral Horatia Nelson destroyed Napoleon’s fleet).* Once his fleet was destroyed, Napoleon, unable to receive supplies from France, was virtually stranded in North Africa.

After losing his fleet, Napoleon got Conte to rebuild much of the equipment he lost at the Battle of the Nile and founded and engaged his scientists in founding the Institute of Egypt. The maintained a library, sponsored lectures and published a bulletin and scholarly memoirs.

After losing the Siege of Acre (to a coalition of British and Mamluks)** in 1799, he sailed back to Paris without informing his men.

Twenty years later, the scientists and artists (who remained in Egypt) published the 20-volume Description d’Egypt, a comprehensive inventory of Egyptian culture and monuments.

In 1801, the English defeated the remaining French troops occupying Egypt. Under the peace treaty they imposed on France they claimed all the antiquities the French scientists had discovered, including the Rosetta Stone.

**Currently part of Israel, Acre was in Syria at the time.

By Jon Olsen

Illegitimate overthrow of Polynesian Queen Lili’uokalani in 1893 marked beginning of more than a century of American regime-change operations

Not a single Native Hawaiian, then by far the great majority of the population, had a role in this coup nor had approved it. The claim to be the government of Hawai’i was fraudulent and the purported “treaty” (that never passed anyway) amounted to forgery. Thus, all subsequent iterations—Republic of Hawai’i, Territory of the U.S., State of the U.S.—are null and void. These insurrectionists then hustled off to Washington, D.C., where newly elected President Grover Cleveland received their message asking for annexation of Hawai’i. But at the same time, a delegation representing the Hawaiian majority arrived with the opposite message. He then declined to pursue annexation but sent a representative to investigate first hand.

After several months had passed, a comprehensive report was delivered to President Cleveland and he gave a speech to Congress on December18, 1893 (reprinted as appendix A in LIBERATE HAWAI’I!), in which he referred to the actions of U.S. authorities as “an act of war” against a peaceful and trusting people.

What ensued was stalemate for the next four years until William McKinley was inaugurated, followed shortly by the Spanish-American War in 1898, with the consequent ceding of Spanish colonies in the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico and Cuba. Hawai’i had never been a colony of Spain or any other country, but for 50 years had been recognized as an independent country, with consulates and embassies all over the world. The cousin of Sanford Dole, who was integrally involved with the coup against the queen, and subsequently was president of the purported “Republic of Hawai’i,” was James Dole, founder of Dole Plantation of pineapple fame. Thousands of acres of pineapples, which grow from the stiff-leafed crown at the top of the fruit, were planted over decades until it became far more profitable to export the operations to Asian countries and to use the limited Hawai’i lands for extensive suburban subdivisions. These homes now each sell at hundreds of thousands of dollars. These many thousands of homes are packed like sardines, often so densely that a decent athlete could jump from one roof to another.

During the century following the alleged “annexation,” five major corporations evolved to control commerce in and out of Hawai’i and the retail business derived from imported goods. The power of the Republican Party to which these local oligarchs belonged, who intermarried and evolved interlocking directorates, was not broken until the 1950s when a coalition of strong labor unions, Japanese World War II veterans, and the Democratic Party unseated them and have controlled Hawai’i continually since, with the exception of two terms of Republican Linda Lingle in the first decade of the 21^st century.

The legislature is overwhelmingly populated by Democrats. Prior to the purported “annexation,” and a major reason for it, was the desirability by advocates of manifest destiny of securing the world-class harbor called Pearl Harbor (where no pearls at all are likely to be found now as a result of contamination). During World War II, further tracts of land were seized, including the eighth largest island of some 28,000 acres called Kaho’olawe, which they used for decades for bombing practice, like the islands of Vieques and Culebra in Puerto Rico. In the 1970s, protests against this desecration of the land by Hawaiian activists generated much sympathy among the population and, in 2003, the island was finally relinquished to the government of Hawai’i with significant stewardship granted to Hawaiian organizations.

Under McKinley, a new attempt at an annexation treaty was made, but it failed even on procedure, not getting the two-thirds majority in the Senate. However, that failure was dwarfed by an even greater flaw: The U.S. had no right at all to make the attempt as the alleged “Republic of Hawai’i” was an illegitimate coup-government as declared so by none other than President Cleveland himself.

The history of the U.S. military’s occupation, control and desecration of the land and sea could easily fill substantial books, one of which was written in the seventies: The Dark Side of Paradise. For several decades, including 2022, there have been ecologically devastating military “exercises” in which not only the U.S., but numerous other countries are invited to bomb and strafe isolated parts of land and ocean sites.

They then used a sleight of hand and passed by simple majority a “Joint Resolution of Congress,” pretending that it was equivalent to a treaty. Due to the threat of military force, the only thing that changed was control, not sovereignty. The legal status remains problematic: Hawai’i is a country whose government was overthrown by the threat of force, and occupied by that very first U.S. regime change.

Such an action does not convey sovereignty over it by occupation, any more than say the U.S. occupation of Japan after World War II or when the government of Saddam Hussein was overthrown. Neither Japan nor Iraq ceased to exist as a country. In recent decades, Hawaiians have been intensely studying their own history, none more so than Dr. Keanu Sai. Virtually all those who are familiar with the subject would say Dr. Sai, who took a related case to the International Court of Arbitration in 2000-2001, is the world authority on the subject.

In recent years, the National Lawyers Guild and the International Association of Democratic Lawyers have come to the same overall conclusions presented in LIBERATE HAWAI’I!, all of which owe their understanding to Dr. Sai, as foremost among many who have contributed to this study. Consequently, while few outside Hawai’i have this grasp of history, tens of thousands of Hawai’i residents understand it well.

Hawaiian activists are not alone; they have important allies. Among them is the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), whose president, U.S. attorney Jeanne “As an international organization of human rights lawyers dedicated to the furtherance of peace, justice and the rule of law, the IADL reiterates its support for the Hawaiian Kingdom and the people of Hawai’i in their ongoing struggle for sovereignty and self-determination. The United States has an obligation to comply with international humanitarian law and the law of occupation.”^[1]

Similarly, Water Protector Legal Collective staff attorney Natali Segovia said:

“This case is about the sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the right of self-determination of an entire Nation. I don’t mean lukewarm self-determination within the boundaries of a settler state; I mean the self-determination that is at the heart of international law: the right of nations to self-govern and to freely determine their political status, their economic, social and cultural development within their own territory.”[2]

Former National Lawyers Guild President Elena Cohen declared, “As an organization that values human rights and the rights of ecosystems over property interests, the NLG supports all native peoples’ right to self-determination and resistance against settler-colonial oppression—whether it be in Palestine, Standing Rock, or Hawai’i. The U.S. is no exception to standards set by international and humanitarian law, and must end its occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom.” She added that: “Since 1898, the United States has been unlawfully imposing American municipal laws over the territory of the Hawaiian Kingdom in violation of international laws and the law of occupation.”[3]

“After nearly forty-five years of critical review and analysis, the Articles of State Responsibility for Internationally Wrongful Acts was accepted by a vote of the United Nations General Assembly. By this resolution, the member States of the United Nations accepted the Articles as a reflection of customary international law, which is binding upon all States in the international system whether they are members of the United Nations or not. The main articles include:

“Article 30. The State responsible for the internationally wrongful
act is under an obligation to cease that act, if it is continuing.

“Article 31. The responsible State is under an obligation to make
full reparation for the injury caused by the internationally wrongful
act.

“Article 32. The responsible State may not rely on the provision of
its internal laws as justification for failure to comply with its
obligations under international law.

“Article 35. A State responsible for an internationally wrongful act
is under an obligation to make restitution, that is to re-establish
the situation that existed before the wrongful act was committed.

“Article 41 (1). States shall cooperate to bring an end through
lawful means any serious breach of international law.

“Article 41 (2). No State shall recognize as lawful a situation created by a serious breach of international law, nor render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation.”^[4]

Nota bene: While most of these provisions directly impact the U.S.-Hawai’i situation, the final one also imposes obligations on the part of those many countries which had recognized Hawai’i as an independent country (cited in LIBERATE HAWAI’I!) and with whom it had established normal diplomatic relations, including mutual embassies and consulates. Some activity in this regard has already been initiated by the Acting Hawaiian Kingdom government.”

In a deliberate move to enforce compliance with international law, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) and the American Association of Jurists—Asociación Americana de Juristas—(AAJ), sent a joint letter to all the missions accredited to the United Nations in New York City and in Geneva regarding the prolonged and illegal belligerent occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom by the United States since January 17, 1893.* The joint letter was sent on February 16, 2022.”^[5]

This is a legal case arguing all of the above and filed by the Hawaiian Kingdom, naming as Federal Defendants: Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., Kamala Harris, John Aquilino, Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Charles P. Rettig, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, Charles E. Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi.

On “Friday August 12, 2022, District Judge Leslie Kobayashi filed a Minute order taking under advisement the Hawaiian Kingdom’s Motion to Certify for interlocutory appeal her Order of July 28, 2022, denying the Hawaiian Kingdom’s motion for reconsideration of her previous Order granting the Federal Defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint.”[6]

The federal government takes the position that this is a “settled matter,” and treats objections to that claim as essentially frivolous, but fails to acknowledge that the U.S. in fact “recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign and independent State on July 6, 1844, by letter of Secretary of State John C. Calhoun on behalf of President John Tyler, and later entered into treaty relations and the establishment of embassies and consulates in the two countries.

*The day the queen was forced by the presence of hostile armed forces of the United States to, in her words, “yield my authority” until the matter could be resolved in Washington, D.C. This was a pledge to neither surrender nor engage in armed resistance, given the disproportion of lethal force, relative to each side.

Things are only just getting started as far as the death toll from Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccination,” warned Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche in a recent interview on the KunstlerCast podcast.

The world-renowned Belgian virologist who for years has been sounding the alarm about the dangers of COVID injections says a “massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death is soon on the way now that the shots have had time to do their damage to recipients’ immune systems.

Most of the reporting about COVID injection illnesses and deaths centers around cases in which recipients got sick or died shortly after getting jabbed. Bossche is speaking out now about those whose immune systems have had time over the past several years to systematically degrade, which in time will manifest in a very noticeable and widespread way.

“What I am predicting is a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death, were Bossche’s exact and harrowing words about what he expects to arrive any day now.

You will see what will happen, for example, in the next coming weeks … as more and more cases of more serious ‘long COVID.’ They will start to replace the surge of the (turbo) cancers … now we have a more chronic phase.”

(Related: Dr. Bossche still thinks that when all is said and done, upwards of 40 percent of the population in the most-vaccinated countries will die from the chemical injections.)

The grand finale of Operation Warp Speed

The cancers Bossche speaks about are those hyper-speed cases in which people are being diagnosed and then dying at warp speed, just like the name of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccine” program the Trump regime launched called Operation Warp Speed.

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and other modes of destruction have been slowly working inside the bodies of those who participated in Operation Warp Speed, including those who claim to be “just fine” following their shots.

“It will end with a hyper-acute phase, a huge, huge wave,” is how Bossche describes what the finale to all this will look like. “I’ve been studying this now for four years. I know what I’m talking about.”

Speaking as humbly as possible, Bossche told the host that he is about the only person out there who truly understands the immunological implications of what has been unleashed by COVID injections. He warns that it will not be pretty, and that remaining humanity will have the huge task of rebuilding from the rubble.

“The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute Covid crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world,” Bossche explained.

“It is very, very clear that when this starts, our hospitals will collapse. And that means the chaos in all kinds of layers of society – financial, economic, social, you name it – will be complete. And that is what I’m very clearly predicting.”

Bossche added that he feels “very strange” saying such things out loud because of how crazy it all sounds, “but I’m not hiding it because I’m 200 percent convinced that it will happen.”

A phoenix rising from the ashes

Up until the COVID “pandemic,” just about every event involving crimes against humanity in the modern era has been relatively small or isolated in terms of being localized. COVID changed all that by unleashing a global extinction-level event, or ELE, that is still in the process of manifesting.

The destruction that will come of all this once it reaches its end stages will be unfathomable for most, and will for sure, in Bossche’s opinion, lead to the end of civilization as we currently know it to be.

“And those who have committed these crimes who have been lying to the people, who have not been taking care of the health and safety of the people, will be severely, severely punished,” he says about what will become of those who played a part in the “pandemic.”

“If these people would now go out and say, ‘Yeah, wait a minute, we have been making some mistakes, it wasn’t all right, we have to correct them, we have to revise our opinion,’ these people will be stoned in the streets … They can only hope that something will happen that will distract from this issue, but it won’t.”

What Bossche envisions is a total collapse of just about everything. From that, a phoenix, of sorts, will rise from the ashes to replace the old world with a new one.”

“The truth will surface: this has been a large-scale experiment of gain-of-function on the very human population,” he explained. “This will be something that will be reported in history for many, many generations to come.”

“What I can advise … to all these vaccinated people: they need to avoid reinfection. It is the reinfection of vaccinated people that is responsible for this situation.”

There has been a resurgence in interest in ancient grains in recent years, as more and more people begin to realize just how toxic modern wheat products are, with many “gluten intolerance” diseases increasing in modern times.

Unfortunately, ancient grains grown in the United States, along with all other grains such as wheat, oats, and barley, are almost all contaminated by modern pesticides and herbicides, even if they are certified organic.

We published a report on an investigation I conducted in 2014 by testing both organic and conventional products made from American (both the U.S. and Canada) grains, and we found very little difference between organic and conventional grains in terms of being contaminated with glyphosate, the active ingredient in the world’s most popular herbicide, RoundUp, which has been linked to cancer and other diseases.

See:
ALERT: Certified Organic Food Grown in U.S. Found Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide

Also:
Almost all American Grains Are Contaminated with Glyphosate Herbicide
How Glyphosate Herbicide Has Destroyed America’s Wheat
New Tests Confirm Children’s Foods Made from Oats are ALL Contaminated with Cancer-Causing Glyphosate
Herbicide Glyphosate Found in Organic Eggs and DairyContamination of U.S. Food Supply Worsens as 50% of Foods Tested Contained Cancer-Causing Glyphosate Herbicide
Most Beers and Wines Tested are Contaminated with Glyphosate
Study: 99% of Canadian Honey Analyzed Contaminated with Herbicide Glyphosate

We started testing ALL of the food we sell in our online store, Healthy Traditions, at that time, and stopped selling the organic grains we had in stock that tested positive for glyphosate.

So today, we do not even purchase, let alone sell, any foods that have not first been tested for the harmful herbicide glyphosate.

When we began to search for sources for ancient grains, all the ones we found at the time tested positive for glyphosate, which forced us to begin searching for glyphosate-free grains outside the U.S. We found that Italy had the cleanest ancient grains which consistently tested negative for glyphosate, and we found some organic, heirloom corn that tested clean in Central Mexico, where glyphosate was banned.

What shocked us the most is that farmers in America who were growing these organic grains were most certainly NOT spraying them with glyphosate, even though it is a common practice in conventional farms, where they want to use glyphosate to kill the wheat so that they could harvest it before the first snow fall, ensuring that they could harvest their entire crop first.

So even through the organic farms were not spraying their crops with glyphosate, it was obviously “drifting” to nearby farms. We have never been able to test any grains free from glyphosate in the northern states of Montana and the Dakotas, nor in Canada.

We eventually found a source of Khorasan Wheat from a single farm in Italy, and sold that for a few years.

But their harvest in 2023 was not successful, leaving us with very little left in stock from the year before.

But we recently just found a farm in Washington State that grew Khorasan in 2023, and samples from their field tested clean for any glyphosate. I proceeded to purchase many tons of this product, and we now have it in stock as a whole grain which you can purchase in bulk, as well as a whole grain flour.

Throwing myself at a wall of willful ignorance and self-delusion doesn’t seem to be working, so let me try something else. Here are my top five Western media narratives. I hope you like them.

Russia didn’t invade; it intervened in order to stop a genocide waged by the Ukrainian régime against its own population in the east of the country.

The Ukraine’s army has already lost to Russia and the Ukraine no longer exists as a nation. It has lost over a million soldiers, a fifth of its territory and half of its population. Its demographics are so dire that they leave nothing much worth discussing.

The fact that Russian troops haven’t occupied all of the formerly Ukrainian territory is beside the point: why should they rush (in the case of the bits Russia will want, such as Odessa and Kiev) or bother (in the case of the bits they probably will never want, such as Lvov)?

Narrative 2: There needs to be a negotiated peace in the Ukraine

There will be no negotiations between Russia and the former Ukraine or between Russia and anyone else regarding the former Ukraine. That has already been tried: there were the Minsk agreements, which, it was later admitted by European officials, were only intended as delaying tactics. There was the İstanbul agreement, cancelled by Boris Johnson as dictated by the White House crew.

Also, negotiations require a negotiating partner, and the Ukrainian officials are, after spending over a decade killing and maiming civilians, both in the east of their own territory and later in Russia, are no longer suitable as negotiating partners on account of them being terrorists. Negotiating with terrorists is generally a bad idea; it is far more appropriate to simply kill them.

The Ukrainian officials can either simply die (as has sometimes happened with them throughout history), or run away (as has happened more often), or surrender and be hung by the neck in a public place (that would be most traditional).

Narrative 3: The Ukrainians are a distinct people struggling for their freedom and self-determination

There is no Ukrainian ethnos; these are simply Russians that have been subjected to a singular form of abuse called “ukrainization” by the Poles and the Austrians in the second half of the 19th century, then again by the Bolsheviks in the 1920s, by the Germans during World War II, and then again after the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic became, quite unexpectedly, an independent state in 1991. Finally, after the US-instigated bloody coup in 2014, the Americans put ukrainianization on steriods, constructing a strictly ukrainianized totalitarian reign of terror in an effort to turn the Ukraine into a sort of battering ram to use against Russia in a now failed effort to weaken and destabilize it.

[…]

Narrative 4: The Ukraine will need to make certain territorial concessions to Russia in order to achieve peace: Crimea, possibly the Donbass.

The project of Ukrainian statehood wasn’t a success and is being terminated. Russia will annex whatever bits of the former Ukraine it wants and turn the rest into a demilitarized, denazified, deukrainianized buffer zone. Any armed forces that blunder into that zone will get killed. Russia will take as many years as it needs to achieve this result; there is no rush at all.

The regions that have already been added to the Russian Federation — Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson — are still partially occupied by Ukrainian forces (except for Lugansk which is free) and this situation is being remedied. These regions have been accepted into Russia via a public referendum, written into the Russian constitution and are de jure Russian. Whether any other country recognizes them as such is not a legally valid consideration.

[…]

Narrative 5: NATO involvement and escalation in the Ukraine risks starting a nuclear war

Nobody in NATO wants to die for the Ukraine. NATO has been involved in the Ukraine for at least a decade now, probably more. Sending more NATO troops to the Ukraine will simply mean more dead, wounded and missing NATO troops.

The purpose of the Ukraine, as far as NATO is concerned, is to put pressure on Russia, not to commit suicide using nuclear weapons. In turn, Russia has no reason to start a nuclear conflict. It is not under any sort of existential threat. In fact, it is doing just swimmingly: the people are unified, the president is more popular than ever, the economy is growing nicely and the Ukrainian conflict is moving in the right direction slowly but surely. Yes, there is some trouble with terrorist attacks organized by the Ukrainian régime with the help of the CIA and the Brits, but that’s not existentially dangerous.

US and its allies would not start a nuclear war because they know they would lose it. How can you lose a nuclear war? Simple! You can lose a nuclear war by having your nuclear weapons become obsolete. Look at the US nuclear triad: the Minuteman III ICBMs, on active duty since the 1970s, fail one test after another and give no reason to think that anything like the declared numbers of them would launch, fly to the target or explode. When they do work, they follow predictable ballistic trajectories and are very easy for the Russians to shoot down using their latest air and space defense systems.

All remaining airports must then close between 2030 and 2049 because to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050 every citizen of the United Kingdom must “stop using aeroplanes” for a significant period of time.

In addition, the report states that to obey the law of the Climate Change Act the public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions regardless of its energy source. According to the report, this will require the public to never eat beef or lamb ever again.

To do this national consumption of beef and lamb will drop by 50% between 2020 and 2029. Then between 2030 and 2049 beef and lamb will be “phased out”.

The report also confirms that construction of new building must cease by 2050 –

The underlying point is that any asset which uses carbon will have essentially zero value in 2050. This in turn may encourage greater use in the run up to 2050 – for example, putting up new buildings at a much faster rate for the next 30 years, knowing that construction must then halt.

The report was released in November 2019 and was authored by ‘UK Fires’, a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath and Imperial College London – the home of Professor Neil Ferguson.

Entitled ‘Absolute Zero’, the report is a research collaboration in which the authors reveal what the UK must do to meet it’s legal requirement to reach net zero emissions by 2050, and it makes for harrowing reading.

However, the timeline of events may speed up significantly because the Government enshrined a new target in law in April 2021 to slash emissions by 78% by the year 2035.

The authors of the report state the key messages are as follows –

In addition to reducing our energy demand, delivering zero emissions with today’s technologies requires the phasing out of flying, shipping, lamb and beef, blast-furnace steel and cement.

They also state this on jobs and location –

There are two key implications for how we live our lives: first, buildings will become much more expensive because the restrictions on building which generate substantial scarcities; second, transport will become much more expensive because the limits on air travel will generate excess demand for other forms of transport.

Those who are starting secondary school now, in 2019, will be 43 in 2050. Thinking about what education is appropriate for a very different set of industries is a key question. Should we still be training airplane pilots? Or aeronautical engineers?

And they state this on implementation of the requirements –

The changes in behaviour to achieve Absolute Zero are clearly substantial. In principle, these changes could be induced through changing prices and thus providing clear incentives for behaviour to change. The alternative is that the government prohibits certain types of behaviour and regulates on production processes.

It is a good idea to pay close attention to everything you buy at the grocery store, especially if it comes from a major food corporation like PepsiCo, which is reportedly looking for new opportunities to slip cricket protein into popular packaged foods.

Cheetos, Quaker Granola Oats and other processed grocery foods could already contain cricket protein, depending on the brand, so make sure you read the ingredient labels closely.

“There are at least six or seven companies in this world that are now using crickets, insects to make flour,” explains the American farmer in the video below.

“Insect Gourmet says insect-related businesses in the Western world are producing insect proteins for foods, beverages, confectionaries, and other things such as butters, oils, and does as well as spice and seasoning.”

Believe it or not, insect and bug ingredients can also apparently be added to American food items without explicit labeling. The plan in just a few short years is to lace ground-up bugs into everything sold at conventional grocery stores.

By 2027, the plan is to reach $4.6 billion in sales from bug ingredients, amounting to around 1.4 million tons in total weight.

Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is already producing insect ingredients at its Decatur, Ill., plant in partnership with Innova Foods. On the company’s website, it is stated falsely that crickets are 60 percent protein.

Iowa State University‘s (ISU) etymology department says that crickets are only about 12.9 percent protein, which means ADM is lying (big shocker) in order to make crickets seem more “nutritious.”

Whatever the case may be, crickets are not a suitable food item for humans. The Cleveland Clinic issued a warning that about 30 percent of all cricket farms, meaning the facilities where crickets are now being raised for human “food,” are loaded with parasites that transfer to humans who eat them.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also expressed uncertainty about the alleged digestibility of crickets. The bugs’ exoskeletons, also known as chitin, is claimed to be a “digestible fiber,” but the NIH says it has no idea how it allegedly digests.

In other words, the human body cannot process crickets as food. And even the part that is claimed to function like “fiber” does not appear to digest, even though corporations like ADM insist it does.

Because the powers that be want only themselves to eat meat, everyone else has to eat bugs or “plants,” these being the only two protein options for poor people moving forward.

It is already a bad idea to eat processed foods from the likes of PepsiCo, by the way. Cereals from Quaker, for instance, are loaded with pesticides like glyphosate that are linked to cancer and reproductive problems.

“I’ll not eat bugs and only buy fresh meat from my local butcher,” one commenter wrote about all this. “Not labeled? Just boycott their products.”
