NATIVE AMERICANS HAVE NO FEAR OF ALIENS. HERE�S WHY

Deeply spiritual cultures remember a time when �people from the stars� freely interacted

with members of the human species.

Before intrepid and greedy Europeans �discovered� the Americas, the land was populated by a

variety of cultures encompassing millions of souls. Sadly, the near-annihilation of

Native Americans has also meant the disappearance of ancient knowledge that we might never win

back.

Therefore, it is fortunate that the efforts of the survivors have included the passing

down of stories from time immemorial and many of these talk about the �Star People�,

a term that groups various beings who came from the sky to share a connection with humans

who were worthy of their teachings.

The ancient world was in contact with a multitude of advanced extraterrestrials, as evidenced

by the rich collection of stories detailing these interactions. Many cultures separated

by thousands of years refer narratives of flying objects and technology so advanced

it could have well been magic. These stories are particularly strong within the mythos

of the Native American tribes.

�My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago,� Richard Wagamese

of the Wabaseemoong First People writes. �The Star people brought spiritual teachings and

stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving and set

a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.�

He continues:

�If Star People did come to the Ojibway, where did they go? Where did they come from?

Who brought teachings to them? What scientific magic did they own that allowed them to make

such an incredible journey � and is it possible for us?�

The peaceful Hopi people believed their ancestors came from the Pleiades and the general demeanor

of Pleiadian aliens is reflected in the Hopi lifestyle. Could this mean their genesis stories

hold truth in them? It sure seems so.

Wyoming

Dakota legends make reference to the same star cluster � Tiyami they called them � as

being their ancestor�s primal home.

Similarly, the Cree believed that in a time before history, their ancestors arrived from

the stars in spirit form, only to become humans on Earth.

Native legends of the Lakota people speak of mysterious celestial beings that manifested

themselves as spheres of light and would often choose particular children to follow them

on a journey through space and time.

Native Americans perceive the issue of alien visitation and even abduction in a more spiritual

manner, as Plains Cree author Stephane Wuttunee explains in a UFO digest article:

[My people] �give far greater attention to the seeking of the spiritual understanding

of things rather than going after �the truth� as people from dominant cultures do. This

is part of the reason why we tend to stand back and view or listen at first rather than

bare in with questions or take the hard, direct approach.�

Growing up in a tightly-knit community, Wuttunee listened carefully to the stories passed down

by the Elders of his tribe. They told of �distant relations and Star People living amongst the

stars many times, mainly around campfires and during traditional ceremonies.�

�Far from being anything to be feared, Star People was just another term I grew up around,�

Wuttunee writes. �I remember listening in awe and fascination at the thought of us having

relations that lived off and outside our world, and sometimes spoke to them in my silent moments

at night. I wanted to know who they were and what they looked like, if they had families

like us etc.[�] It wasn�t until my later teens that I discovered that people from the

dominant cultures were talking about the same �people� as my elders did, though each

side�s sense of perception of these people seemed radically different from one another.�

Do you suspect these words to be the result of ancient traditions tainted by the recent

ancient alien phenomenon? Congrats for being a critical thinker, but Native Americans have

been mentioning �flying shields� for a long time.

�flying shields�

Black Elk (1863-1950), an Oglala Sioux holy man who toured with Buffalo Bill�s Wild

West Show when he was young described one of his experiences, way before the UFO phenomenon

had become bastardized by mass-media:

�So when I went to vision quest, that disk came from above. The scientists call that

a�Unidentified Flying Object, but that�s a joke, see? Because they are not trained,

they lost contact with the wisdom, power and gift.�

�So that disk landed on top of me. It was concave, and there was another one on top

of that. It was silent, but it lit and luminesced like neon lights. Even the sacred robes there

were luminesced, and those tobacco ties lying there lit up like little light bulbs.�

�Then these little people came, but each little group spoke a different language. They

could read minds, and I could read their minds. I could read them. So there was silent communication.

You could read it, like when you read silent symbols in a book. So we were able to communicate�They

are human, so I welcomed them. I said, �Welcome, Welcome��

Here we have the written, unambiguous testimony of pivotal figure in the Sioux culture, a

legendary man who was the cousin of Crazy Horse, telling us about his interaction with

extraterrestrial beings aboard their luminous UFO.

Without exception, all Native American tribes foster an umbilical connection with Mother

Earth. They see themselves as the �original caretakers� of our planet and lament the

path to destruction we�re currently on. Many tribal figures see this as the primary

reason behind the weakening of the bond between humanity and the Star People.

But at the same time, this implies that a global shift in our attitude towards the place

we call home could rekindle this dwindling connection.

So maybe that�s where all the good aliens are: out of sight, waiting for us

to come into our senses.

The Calling Part 1 (Fictional Narration) - Duration: 7:11.

On everyone's 18th birthday at noon, one word appears in their skin, depicting their career

or purpose in life.

My parents had insisted on a party.

They said it was tradition and invited aunts and uncles and cousins from gods knew where,

half of the people I had never seen in my life.

Quite a feat, since the Splitting of the States, border control has been hell.

Getting from one sector of the country to another requires paperwork, headaches, and

a whole lot of background checks.

My best friend had taken the day off of his job to spend the day with me.

He was happy, incredibly happy, on his eighteenth birthday two months ago had revealed LIBRARIAN

as his Calling.

Nobody was surprised, he had had a love for books his whole life.

11:56am The room is getting quieter now, eyes on me

expectantly.

I've been silent for the last ten minutes, anxiety biting behind my ribcage like a rabid

animal.

I look at my arm, hand clenching and unclenching.

11:58am "Don't worry," mom says.

"This is who you are.

We love you, no matter what."

My father nods beside her and I look at them with a smile.

The SCIENTIST and the NOVELIST.

I grew up in my father's stories, and I wish that he could tell the end of this one.

12:00pm Nothing.

The air in the room is like a vacuum, sucked in with an almost comically collective gasp.

I don't look up.

I stare at my arm, the vision around going fuzzy with my concentration.

'Anything,' I plea.

'Anything but nothing.'

12:01pm My mother starts frantically prodding at my

arm.

There are whispers and I can't meet anybody's eye.

My best friend looks at me with pity, curiosity, fear.

12:02pm It starts as a dull itch, a burn deep beneath

the skin.

I resist the urge to scratch and my sudden movement, drawing my arm close, attracts the

attention of my family.

Slowly, mercifully, the word appears.

LEADER Cheers start and I'm pounded on the back so

hard that I think I'll have internal bleeding.

LEADERS are the elite, the government.

I might be able to make a difference in this hell hole.

12:03pm My mother freezes mid hug, eyes locked onto

my arm.

I think for a second that she's having another Mother Breakdown, but then she whispers.

"What the fuck?"

My blood runs cold and I don't want to look at my arm.

My mother had never cursed in front of me.

But I know I have to look.The word has expanded to word(s).

My jaw drops.

The sound disappears and I fear I might pass out.

LEADER OF THE REBELLION I�m unsure of how long it takes for my parents

to politely but firmly kick our guests out.

It could have been five minutes or five hours, I don�t think I would have noticed either

way.

Now my mother and father sit across from me, shoulder to shoulder, and I feel as though

I�m being put in front of a firing squad.

My mother works closely with the TelGov and I wonder if she will tell them.

"You'll have to cover it up," Mom says.

I find myself nodding but even as I do, doubt shrouds my mind.

You can hide nothing from the government.

"Nobody can know.

Do you understand?"

The only thought that comes to my mind is how fucking cliche this is.

"Chosen ones" and "heroes" are from books read to me as a child, fantastical, mythical

beings in the bedtime stories my father would tell me.

There is no "rebellion", there never has been.

Unrest?

Sure.

When isn't there some sort of unrest in any country?

Our government isn't the best but there's never been threat of rebellion, not since

the Peace Laws went into effect long before I was born.

Dad is silent, but I can tell that he isn't angry with me.

That's just how he is, a quiet, subdued man until you get him talking about his writing.

"I'll look into records at work," Mom continues.

"To see if there's any other documentation of multiple Words."

My parents share a glance, and I know the meaning without words.

There will be no other documented cases.

Dad pats me on the shoulder and begins to clear away the remainder of my birthday celebration.

Streamers that not fifteen minutes ago I enjoyed now looked like limp, sad creatures.

I had never related more to a piece of colored paper in my life.

In a dreamlike state I stand and go to my room.

I shut the door and sit at my desk, staring at the blank screen of my computer as if the

answer to this problem, the guidelines of what I am to do, will reflect back to me.

I move the mouse and the screen flicks to life, but instead of the homework I was working

on, there's a black screen with green lettering.

[Hello] I stare at the screen, dumbfounded.

Maybe my computer just updated and this is the greeting screen.

[We are the Rebellion] Of course I couldn't be that lucky.

I turn the monitor off quickly and let out a breath as it powers down.

I think of going to bed, even though it's not even one o'clock yet.

I've had enough weirdness for my lifetime.

As I get ready to stand, the monitor flickers back on.

I'm gripped with several emotions as I read the next message.

Anger, confusion, mostly fear.

Pure, blood-chilling fear.

[They are coming.

Run now.]

I don't have to hear the helicopter or siren in the distance to know who "they" are.

Japan Decotora "Art Trucks" Big Event AKATSUKI Steve's POV スティーブ的視点 - Duration: 14:43.

What does this say?

AKATSUKI ?

Yes, AKATSUKI...

AKATSUKI is the name of today's event.

"Let's Enjoy Today" - AKATSUKI

I love it!

I definitely plan on "Enjoying Today."

Hi Everyone! I'm Steve with Steve's POV.

Today I arrived in Japan's Haneda Airport at 5:30 AM.

I heard there was a "Decotora" Art Truck event here in Ibaragi Prefecture.

There was no way I was going to miss this event.

I hopped into a car and drove all the way here from Tokyo!

This event is called AKATSUKI and it takes place here in Ibaragi.

It's raining which is a little disappointing but that's not gonna spoil my mood!

I brought my friend Nino with me...

This is Nino.

Nino knows about these trucks and we're going to check things out together today!

Before it starts raining harder, lets check out this show!

This RC truck is cool!

It looks so real!

Wow!

Incredible!

The lights work too.. so realistic looking!

How many "Decotora" Art Trucks do you think are here?

Probably about 200 or more trucks.

So cool!!

Everyone has their engines running...

I want to hear some of the "ManiWari" (Exhaust) sounds...

I want to hear these horns too!!!

This is cool...

These are American style side pipes!

Very cool.

I love Japanese trucks...

one of their coolest parts is the sound!

This "ManiWari" exhaust sound is great!

Listen!

This sound is great!!

and the smell of diesel fuel is awesome too!!

I love it!!! This is awesome!

American trucks don't sound like this...

This is purely Japan!!

That's a classic Japanese bus right there!

What year is it? 1950's?

I have never seen anything like it before...

It's still undergoing restoration.

I love the style and look.

It's cool they brought it here while under restoration still.

It's even got rockets and missiles on it too!!

Check that out and these lights too!

This thing sounds awesome too!!

It's so cold today... this feels great!

These tail lights are cool!

They are called "Halo-Tail"

Check out the Silvia lights on this truck!

Those are Silvia headlights.. nice!

I like this style!

This bumper is awesome too!

I need to hear those horns!!

They are called "Big Horns"

I want to see these lights on too!

Rockets and missiles on this truck too!

This guy must haul fish?

Yes, fish and vegetables too!

Nice metal flake paint.

Green and orange... Nice!

What are these hoses called in Japanese?

"TareGomu"

There is a lot of "TareGomu" here today! LOL

Cool truck!!

These trucks are both Dolphins?

Yes! Dolphins are really popular!

I want to hear a horn so bad!

Let's hear the exhaust!!

That sound is great!

I love this!

This truck is crazy!

Look at these "TareGomu!"

These 2 are really long! LOL

I want to see these lights turned on!

Those are Mitsubishi wheels customized.

You think he'll turn them on later?

I can't wait to see them!

This truck has a lot of work done to it.

The aftermarket taillights are really cool.

Someone did a lot of work to this truck.

They spent a lot of money doing all this...

Your truck is a rolling billboard telling everyone who you are and where you come from.

You can feel the pride these drivers have in who they are and where they come from.

American truck drivers are the same too...

Their trucks are an extension of who they are...

and where they come from.

You show everyone in the big cities what the beauty of the your hometown is.

You can feel that energy here today!

This truck sounds really good too!

I love it!

There is always cool things written on these trucks too!

"Life goes up but your lights stay down!!"

Check out the custom work on the side of this truck!

Its full hand spun stainless steel!!

Wow! Someone spent a lot of time and money doing this!

There is an incredible amount of custom time in this truck!

Wow! Listen to this thing!

I am having so much fun!!!

Ishikura Bankin, the guys you made a video about, did this stainless work!

Really?? Wow!

Ishikura Bankin does nice work! Wow!

Nice truck!!

Look!! His wheel lights are on too!!

I wanted to see those!! Wow!! Nice!

Awesome!

I had to see those!!

The next truck has them too!!

I wish we had these in America too!

So cool!

I want to see these in action at full highway speed!

I can't believe these are actual daily working trucks and not just for shows...

That is very cool.

The owner of this truck saw a truck like this when he was a kid...

He fell in love with that truck and now that he is older...

He has bought this truck and is recreating what he fell in love with a long time ago.

He is actually still in the process of restoring it.

I like the old school antennas!

I haven't seen many antennas like that before...

What is the name of this truck?

"Yujurishi-Maru"

That's hard to pronounce! LOL

Look at the inside of this truck!!

If the outside is custom I guess the inside of a truck should be too!

Nino- I need to hear these horns before we leave today!!!!

I want to hear the Big Horns!!! LOL

ManiWari and Big Horns are what I am here for today!!

Let's hear these things!

Retro style cars/trucks always have these stars on them.

This is an impressive license plate frame!

These lights are hidden behind the wheel spinners...

The light reflects off the chrome which is a cool effect.

Trucks aren't just for hauling freight...

During an event like this, trucks also are hangouts to relax and enjoy!

Friends are eating, drinking and talking inside the back of this truck!

Hello!!

It's very Japanese to take off your shoes before sitting in the back of a truck!!

Steve!!

Hello!!!

We watch your channel!!

Thank you and nice to meet you!

I love your set up here!

We like your Hakosuka!

Thanks and nice to meet you!

You own this truck?

I hate to ask especially in the rain, but...

Could you put the lights on for me?

That would make me so happy right now!!

They are coming on... wow!

Look at the top!! Incredible!

OMG!!!

This is awesome!!

I've been waiting to see this!!!

The back of this truck is also cool!

The styling is so retro- old school!

The stickers and everything are so cool!

These side lights are cool!

What year is this truck?

This is a 1988 model.

It's about 28 years old now.

How many miles on it?

850,000 kilometers (530k miles)

This was a working truck back then but is now retired.

Its not used to haul anything anymore?

No. It's solely for my personal use and shows.

I like what you are doing with it!

Oh! My ears!!!

I asked for this and I got it!!

I shouldn't have been standing so close when he blew the Big Horn! LOL

It's cold and rainy outside and I needed some place to warm up...

that's when the owner of this bus invited me inside!

This is a 2004 Mitsubishi bus.

As an American, I have never been in a bus like this before.

American buses are large, wide and very long...

but I have never seen a bus decorated to this degree before!

Lights, chandeliers and even blow-up dolls like this! LOL

The owner of this bus travels all over Japan, so I guess it's nice to feel a little like home inside.

It's warm and comfortable in here...

I love this bus and I am very thankful to the owner for letting me sit inside for a bit!

Nino! Thanks for a great day!

It may be raining but to see this many trucks on my first day back in Japan was awesome!

My jet lag is cured!

Thanks!!

I love Decotoras!

I am not a truck driver and I don't even have a commercial driver's license.

I don't own a big truck and never have...

But just looking at these trucks is so exciting.

The amount of work and money spent on these real working trucks is incredible.

I feel really energized after seeing all these trucks and meeting all these nice people!

I can't wait to attend another truck event hopefully sometime soon!

See you again soon!!

Wrestling Origins: Kurt Angle - Duration: 10:50.

Kurt Angle truly is among the best professional wrestlers to ever get in the ring.

He's often underrated when it comes to all-time greats, but his combination of intensity,

integrity, and intelligence are why he's in the upper echelon of professional wrestlers.

With the Olympian finally making his return to WWE, what better time for Wrestling Origins:

Kurt Angle!

Kurt Steven Angle was born on December 9th, 1968, in Mt. Labanon, Pennsylvania.

Kurt grew up with 5 siblings, while his father unfortunately was killed in a construction

accident when Angle was just 16.

Kurt was an athlete from the very beginning.

By the age of 7, Kurt was already taking up amateur wrestling.

When he was in high school, Kurt earned accolades in both football and wrestling.

He would go undefeated on the freshman wrestling team, and would eventually become the Pennsylvania

State Wrestling champion in 1987.

After he graduated from high school, Kurt would attend the Clarion University of Pennsylvania

and continued to wrestle.

He became a two time NCAA Division 1 Champion, national runner-up in 1991, and three time

NCAA Division 1 All-American just to name some of his accomplishments.

He would keep racking up the championship wins, and after graduating from college, he

began training for the Olympics.

However, just before the 1996 Olympic Trials, Kurt would break his neck pretty bad.

Angle didn't want to give up on his Olympic ambitions though, so instead of pulling out,

he had his doctor pump his neck full of numbing agents.

Because he was competing at the Olympic level, he couldn't take any painkillers, so the

best he could do was numb his neck to the point he couldn't feel a thing.

With his broken neck and all, Kurt would win a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics in the heavyweight

division.

After his big win, Kurt was offered a contract by WWF which he turned down.

He wouldn't enter the world of professional wrestling until 1998 when he competed in a

battle royal in National Wrestling Alliance.

Following that, Kurt Angle signed a multi-year contract with WWF and was sent to Power Pro

Wrestling to begin training.

As many sources have said, Kurt Angle picked up professional wrestling like nobody else.

With his amateur wrestling background and pure athleticism, Kurt became an adept pro

wrestler in just a few months.

Kurt trained from October 1998 to March 1999 when he made his first appearance for WWF

when he did a segment with Tiger Singh.

His first WWF match would be a dark match against Brian Christopher in April of 1999.

He would continue training and working in PPW for most of the year, even winning a championship

during that time, until he was finally called up in November of 1999 at Survivor Series

where he defeated Shawn Stasiak.

Angle would rack up wins from the start while donning his "American Hero" gimmick which

was inspired by his Olympic endeavors.

However, Angle wasn't really liked by fans when he first debuted.

He was actually booed quite heavily, so WWF decided to turn him heel instead.

Angle would quickly win the European and Intercontinental Championships in February of 2000, but lost

them both at WrestleMania 2000.

Next, Kurt would align with Edge & Christian to form Team ECK before feuding with Triple

H after a love triangle formed between them and Stephanie McMahon, but ultimately lost.

However, he followed that up with another push which put him against The Rock at No

Mercy where he won the WWF Championship.

He would retain the title on multiple occasions against the likes of The Undertaker and Triple

H before finally losing it back to The Rock after 126 days.

Next, he feuded with Chris Benoit with the two trading wins over one another before Angle

ultimately came out victorious.

As part of The Invasion angle, Kurt aligned with Stone Cold Steve Austin as part of team

WWF.

However, Austin would turn on his team and hit Kurt with a stunner.

Over the next little while, Kurt would notably win the WCW Championship, WCW United States

Championship, and the WWF Hardcore Championship.

He would also feud with Stone Cold over the WWF Championship, helped The Rock defeat Austin

and The Alliance after turning heel, and feuded with Edge during which he lost a hair versus

hair match.

In October of 2002, Kurt would become the fifth WWE Grand Slam Champion after winning

the WWE Tag Team belts with Chris Benoit.

After dropping those titles, Kurt would win his third WWE Championship from the Big Show.

This led immediately into his feud with Brock Lesnar who had won the Royal Rumble, and Angle

would drop the title to him at WrestleMania 19, which was followed by time off to heal

injuries.

Speaking of injuries, Kurt has broken his neck 4 times during his professional wrestling

career.

He had it surgically repaired twice, but simply let it heal the other times.

It's also worth mentioning that throughout his career, Kurt struggled with addiction.

Angle says that at one point in his career, he was taking 65 Vicodin pills a day, nearly

2000 a month, to deal with pain.

For reference, the recommended dosage is just 2 tablets every 6 hours.

Kurt struggled with drug addiction after he left WWE as well, but after a long, hard battle,

he finally got clean and still is to this day.

If you want to know more about his battle with drugs, I recommend listening to him on

the Stone Cold Podcast, it really shows how much this man suffered and endured to keep

performing for the fans.

Back to wrestling: when he returned a few months later, Angle would regain the WWE Championship

after defeating Brock Lesnar and Big Show in a Triple Threat match.

Lesnar would seemingly become an ally to Kurt following this, but eventually turned on him

with the help of Mr. McMahon.

Angle would retain the belt at Summerslam against Brock, but eventually lost it on SmackDown.

After that, Angle would feud with Eddie Guerrero.

Angle would become number one contender for Eddie's newly won WWE Championship and competed

against him at WrestleMania 20, but lost.

He once again broke his neck during that match, so instead of being written off completely,

he would serve as the SmackDown General Manager for a few months.

By 2005, Angle was back in the ring competing and began feuding with Shawn Michaels.

Sexy Kurt would go on to defeat HBK at WrestleMania 21 in an amazing match that won the PWI Match

of the Year award.

After a comical feud with Eugene and a failed attempt at John Cena's WWE Championship,

Kurt would return to SmackDown in 2006 to win a battle royal for the World Heavyweight

Championship.

He controversially retained against The Undertaker and went on to WrestleMania 22 as champion,

but shockingly dropped the title to Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match also involving Randy

Orton.

As 2006 went on, Angle would begin appearing less frequently on TV until he finally requested

his release on August 25th.

He says that he was simply too hurt to wrestle and needed time off which wasn't being given

to him, so WWE agreed and let Angle go after his last match in ECW with Sabu.

In September of 2006, it was announced that Kurt Angle had signed with TNA and made his

debut by confronting Samoa Joe.

His first match would take place in November when he defeated Abyss, and he went on to

end Samoa Joe's undefeated streak soon after.

This was followed by a feud with Christian Cage which had Angle eventually winning the

new TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

This was followed by a winner take all match with Samoa Joe, landing Angle both tag team

belts and the X Division Championship, making him a triple champion.

After returning from another neck injury, Angle would feud with AJ Styles with AJ eventually

coming out on top.

From there, Kurt would feud with Jeff Jarrett, formed the Main Event Mafia consisting of

former WCW stars, and failed to recapture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from

AJ Styles on multiple occasions.

It's worth noting that from 2007 to 2009, Kurt would also wrestle over in New Japan

where he most notably defeated Brock Lesnar for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

He would retain the title 3 times before losing to Shinsuke Nakamura in a title unification

match.

In 2009, Angle would appear at Wrestle Kingdom III and took part in an 8-man tag match, and

would have his final match in Japan against Hiroshi Tanahashi in a losing effort for the

IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

Over the next few years, Kurt would continue working as a top star in TNA.

He had notable feuds against Mr. Anderson, Dixie Carter, and Jeff Hardy, winning multiple

championships during this time as well.

He would bring back the Main Event Mafia in 2012 for a while too, before taking time off

to get a handle on his drug problems through rehab.

When he came back, he feuded with Bobby Roode before eventually becoming TNA's Executive

Director of Wrestling Operations.

He would continue serving in this role until his contract with TNA expired in late 2014.

He reportedly reached out to WWE at this time hoping to land either a part-time wrestling

contract of full-time gig in a similar type of management role, but WWE reportedly turned

him down on both fronts.

Because of that, Angle decided to stay with TNA.

Once again returning to in-ring action, Angle would win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship

for a record-breaking 6th time from Bobby Lashley, and would retain it on multiple occasions

against Lashley, Eric Young, Rockstar Spud, and Austin Aries, before finally losing to

Ethan Carter III.

Soon after, Kurt announced that he was done with TNA and announced his "Farewell Tour"

which included matches against Drew Galloway, Matt Hardy, Bobby Roode, and his final match

with Bobby Lashley.

Following his departure from Impact Wrestling, Kurt would begin working on the independent

circuit.

He notably competed against and lost to Rey Mysterio, defeated Cody Rhodes in WCPW, and

defeated Alberto el Patron in WCPW as well.

Most recently, Kurt Angle was officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by John Cena where

he gave an awesome speech before being named the General Manager of RAW by Vince McMahon

after WrestleMania 33.

And that was Wrestling Origins: Kurt Angle.

Since Kurt has had such a long career I had to cut some things out, so if I left out anything

important, let me know below.

Anyways if you enjoyed the video the maybe leave a like and subscribe for more episodes

of Wrestling Origins.

As always thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.

My Supplements for Health - Duration: 12:40.

Hi everyone! I thought I'd share with you the supplements and

natural products I take to help me stay active and healthy.

Please note that I am not a doctor, so don't take any of

these things without thorough research and talking with your

doctor. These are just things I personally have found to be

useful for me. Also note that my supplements change. I tend to

discontinue one in favor of another, or just discontinue it

altogether for whatever reason. I do believe in natural remedies

and that nature can cure us better than pharmaceuticals and

synthetic products. This is why the supplements I buy tend to

come from food sources. For instance, vitamins sourced from

plants, fruits, and vegetables, instead of the synthetic

variety. It would be ideal to actually acquire the necessary

nutrients from the food we eat, but sometimes it can be

difficult, especially with the type of diet I have. If you are

vegetarian or vegan, it can be difficult to acquire enough

vitamin D and B12. Most people in general though tend to lack

these. But, I personally have not found any vegetarian foods

that has significant amounts of vitamin D or B12. Please note,

however, that just because something is natural doesn't

mean it's effective or safe. What may work for me may not

work for you. Before we being, there are several things I avoid

when buying supplements. One is animal products. Many may not be

aware, but a capsule tends to be made from gelatin, often animal

sourced. You have to look specifically for vegetarian

capsules, which for some supplements can be challenging

to find, especially at a reasonable cost. Next is

magnesium stearate which, from my research, is not something

I want in my supplements. As are any other fillers and

unnecessary ingredients. If you look at 'other ingredients' on

the label, sometimes you'll be shocked to see what you find.

I buy ones that are mostly all natural with no strange

ingredients. Also, I try to research long-term use of the

products to make sure they are safe. Whenever I add a new one,

or stop taking one, I do so at half the dose and slowly wean

off of it or come onto it. I spend a lot of money on

supplements which is unfortunate since I feel as though they are

high quality. And for prescriptions, the only ones

I take are hormones, both estrogen and testosterone.

Other than that, there are no other pharmaceuticals.

Now onto the supplements. Be sure to check the

description to go to specific ones if necessary.

My multivitamin is Garden of Life mykind Organics Women's

Multivitamin. This contains most all vitamins and minerals that

our body need, that are mostly all derived from herbs, fruits,

and vegetables. It does contain some other ingredients, but

nothing that looks synthetic or odd. It is primarily for the

coating of the pill to get it down. I do struggle at times

with it since it is a big pill.

Another vitamin is vitamin D. I take Garden of Life mykind

Organics Vegan D3. Now some of you may be asking, isn't all

vitamin D vegan. Actually no, Vitamin D2 is often used for

vegans and is not as effective as D3. However, D3 often comes

from sheep's wool. So, it was important for me to find a

non-animal source. This source is Lichen. It also has various

omega fatty acids, but most are omega-6.

Next is an iodine supplement, Go Nutrients Iodine Edge. This is a

nutrient we are often lacking in our diet. Unless you have a diet

with a lot of seaweed, which is a very high source, it may be

limited in your diet, especially the American diet. It is

supposed to help with thyroid function and detoxification of

the body. Let me tell you this, the first dose I took of this

ever, which was half the suggested dose, within an hour

my throat swelled up and I got sick. I hadn't been sick in

probably like two years, if not longer, prior to that. While my

family was also sick at the same time and I caught it from them,

I think the bug was in my system and this was forcing it out and

detoxifying me. I've felt fine since at the full dose. From my

research, it's also recommended to have a source of selenium

when taking iodine. So, the highest source of selenium is

actually brazil nuts. They are loaded. Two or three a day and

you are good. I will be replacing this product with

Global Healing Center Detoxadine Nascent Iodine when this is

done. This is primarily because it's a better price

value over this one.

Next is a hormone, Intensive Nutrition DHEA in DMSO. DHEA is

a hormone that decreases as we age. This is the only source of

it that I could find that wasn't in capsule form. I initially

tried capsules and it upset my stomach, even at just 10mg a

day. With the liquid, each drop is 5mg which is what I started

with. It is dissolved in 200 proof, or 100%, ethanol alcohol.

So, that means it burns your mouth and taste disgusting. And

with the added peppermint oil in there, it only makes it worse.

Other ingredient are glycerol which I'm not so sure about.

A supplement for immunity is Host Defense Mushrooms

MyCommunity. This is one of the most expensive products I take.

It's about 15 or so different mushrooms with many positive

immune boosting properties. These mushrooms are very

powerful. Some of them have been used to completely eliminate

breast cancer in women. Powerful stuff. For someone like me with

an autoimmune disorder and low white blood cell count, I think

this has made a difference with my immunity.

Fish oil? Omega-3? How about Ovega-3. This is a vegetarian

and vegan alternative to omega-3 fish oils. Now some of you

vegetarians may be thinking, "But what about omegas in flax,

chia, and hemp?" Well, I never knew this until recently, but

here is some information, the omega-3 fatty acids found in

these products are ALA. It's not the same as the kind you get

from fish oil, which is DHA and EPA. I struggled to find

vegetarian sources, which is naturally from algae. Ovega-3 is

one brand, as is the Nordic Naturals Algae Omega brand.

I would prefer to take that brand, but it's more money.

Comparing the price of vegetarian to non-vegetarian

fish oils, there is no comparison. It is extremely

expensive compared to fish oil, and you get a lot less DHA and

EPA. And the thing I do not like about this product is the

fillers. It has corn starch, carrageenan, and caramel color.

All things I try to avoid. The Nordic Naturals brand also has

this in their gel capsules. However, they also offer

a liquid option which does not. I've tried that, but it's still

more money and inconvenient in liquid form since I like

to store it in the refrigerator.

Next is Natural Vitality Natural Calm Magnesium Powder. This is a

magnesium citrate powder you add to water and has been quite

beneficial at providing pain relief, anxiety reduction, and

relaxation. When I use it before bed, it helps me sleep better.

Another pain relief supplement is Bluebird Botanicals CBD 6X.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is from the hemp and marijuana plant, but it

doesn't get you high. It's completely legal. You don't need

a license, prescription, or anything like that to obtain it.

You can buy it online. I've had great success with this and it's

been the number one thing that has helped my chronic pain and

fatigue. It's helped more than anything else I've tried. I get

the super concentrated variety, which is very expensive, but

lasts much longer. I also take breaks from using it so

I don't build up a tolerance. Currently I am using the

Brainpower variety, and I have not tried the Complete yet.

All the others I have tried and they all had the same effect

on me though.

For protein I use Vega Sport Performance Protein. This is

another expensive item. It's about $2 per serving. I am

subscribed to this, and a few other supplements, on Amazon.com

so I get it cheaper, but it's still costly. I get the

chocolate flavor which was the cheapest at the time that

I bought it and is actually very tasty. Completely vegan, 30g of

protein, a mixture of a variety of proteins, probiotics,

turmeric, and black pepper. Very nice. I drink this and eat a

banana after each workout. I don't workout every single day,

probably about five days a week, but I have this when I do.

Unfortunately though, it is not fully organic.

Another powder supplement is Amazing Grass Green Superfood.

This has things like wheat grass, spirulina, and many other

superfoods. I add it to my probiotic drink each morning,

which is GoodBelly Probiotic Coconut Water. I mix it in and

chug it down since it is gritty and doesn't always taste

pleasant. But, the taste is not bad. It is an acquired taste

though for some.

As for products I have not tried yet and wish to try, that would

be Global Healing Center Cell Fuzion. As the name suggests,

it is supposed to help your cells and DNA, as well as defend

against free radicals and help support aging. I've read reviews

of how people have gotten sensation back in areas of their

body where there was nerve damage, like surgery for

example. So, I am very interested in trying this

product to see if it could help me. I just cannot justify the

cost of it. It's $130 for 120 pills, which is essentially just

a month's worth since you are supposed to take four pills a

day. Maybe it's amazing, I don't know. I'm willing to try it. But

at this time, no matter how amazing it is, I cannot afford

it. The idea of it though sounds amazing to me.

As for products I have discontinued taking, but still

wanted to mention, that would be NatureWise Curcumin, also known

as turmeric. I discontinued it because it wasn't having as much

effect on me as my other products have. Turmeric is a

good anti-inflammatory. If you are interested in it,

I recommend this brand since their turmeric also has ginger

and black pepper extract which greatly helps the absorption.

You don't want to take turmeric without black pepper extract.

So those are my supplements. It's a lot, and at one point

I was taking even more, but I've discontinued the ones that

weren't benefitting me. Regardless, don't use this as

medical advice. But, I am curious if any of you use

similar or the same products. Let me know in the comments.

Thank you for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day.

TRUMP'S SYRIA TWEETS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY ANTI INTERVENTION SINCE 2013, WHAT HAPPENED - Duration: 26:04.

TRUMP�S SYRIA TWEETS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY ANTI-INTERVENTION SINCE 2013, WHAT HAPPENED

by Cassandra Fairbanks

Trump�s Syria Tweets Have Been Consistently Anti-Intervention Since 2013, What Happened?

As the globalist neoconservatives and former �anti-war� liberals bang the drums of

war with Syria, President Donald Trump appeared to change his previously anti-intervention

tone on Wednesday � much to the dismay of many of his supporters.

For the past four years, Trump has repeatedly demanded that the US stay out of Syria, so�

Here is a timeline of all of his tweets containing the word �Syria� since May, 2013:

On May 27, 2013, five days after the US Senate panel backed arming the rebels, Trump tweeted

a question as to why Senator John McCain was in Syria � as well as what became his campaign

slogan.

Why is Senator John McCain in Syria visiting with the rebels- MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 27, 2013

Two days later, on May 29, 2013, Trump tweeted, �Obama wants to unilaterally put a no-fly

zone in Syria to protect Al Qaeda Islamists,� and stated that �Syria is NOT our problem.�

Obama wants to unilaterally put a no-fly zone in Syria to protect Al Qaeda Islamists http://t.co/DCgP83Oxas

Syria is NOT our problem.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2013

On June 15, 2013, the day after the US announced increased �military support� to rebels,

Trump tweeted that they are as bad as the current regime � and that we should stay

out of Syria.

He also expressed his non interventionist �America first� policy by noting that

we would gain nothing from what would cost billions of dollars, as well as our citizen�s

lives.

We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime.

WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 16, 2013

On August 18, 2013, Trump quoted a tweet that mocked then-President Barack Obama for golfing

as Syria, Egypt, and Iraq were burning.

"@RayHeard: @realDonaldTrump @bat211 @capetown58 Meanwhile, he's on the golf course as Egypt,

Syria, Iraq burn.What else is new?"

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 18, 2013

On August 28, 2013, the week that rebel forces took full control of Ariha In Idlib Province

as well as captured the village of Khanasir, Trump tweeted a reminder that the �freedom

fighters� that the US has armed �want to fly planes into our buildings.�

Remember, all these �freedom fighters� in Syria want to fly planes into our buildings.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2013

The next day, on August 29, 2013, Trump sent out seven tweets involving Syria.

The first once again mocked Obama, saying that he wouldn�t attack Syria on the same

day of his commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King�s �I have a dream�

speech.

Why would anyone think Obama would attack Syria the day of his speech in Washington.

He doesn't want to detract from his press & glory.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

This was also the day that British Parliament decided not to take military action.

In the next several tweets, Trump pondered why it needed to be announced at all if we

attacked, noting that the element of surprise would be better.

Why do we keep broadcasting when we are going to attack Syria.

Why can't we just be quiet and, if we attack at all, catch them by surprise?

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

He also called Obama �stupid.�

"@voicelikeariot_: @realDonaldTrump "@washingtonpost: Why Obama is giving up the element of surprise

in Syria" Perhaps because he is stupid?

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

If we are going to continue to be stupid and go into Syria (watch Russia), as they say

in the movies, SHOOT FIRST AND TALK LATER!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

The next tweet stated that the Arab League should be dealing with Syria, and if we had

to get involved, they should at least be paying for it.

Let the Arab League take care of Syria.

Why are these rich Arab countries not paying us for the tremendous cost of such an attack?

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

Trump went on to again question what we would get out of intervening in the nation�s affairs,

noting the potential for long term conflict, and stated that Obama needed to obtain Congressional

approval.

What will we get for bombing Syria besides more debt and a possible long term conflict?

Obama needs Congressional approval.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2013

On August 30, 2013, Obama decided to refrain from attacking until he obtained approval

from Congress.

The US also deployed their sixth warship to the Mediterranean.

Trump responded on Twitter in a series of tweets questioning US leadership.

Is everyone seeing how incompetently our country is being run by watching the mess with Syria?

Our leaders don't know what they are doing!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013

He noted that civilian casualties from a US attack would make the nation look �very

bad.�

If Obama attacks Syria and innocent civilians are hurt and killed, he and the U.S. will

look very bad!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013

Again expressing his desire to stay out of Syria.

How bad has our "leader" made us look on Syria.

Stay out of Syria, we don't have the leadership to win wars or even strategize.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013

As well as commenting that the US can�t actually afford the cost of an intervention.

"@jenconservative: @RKDrake @realDonaldTrump I would be totally surprised if the US even

HAS any money to spend on Syria!!"

We don't!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013

He also expressed his belief that while the government may be committing atrocities � so

are the rebels that the US was funding.

"@Joe1sPro: @realDonaldTrump the president of Syria is killing people inhumanly" But

the so called "rebels" may be just as bad (or worse)!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013

The next day, August 31, 2013, Obama gave a speech announcing his desire to seek Congressional

authorization to intervene in the civil war.

He made it clear that he was prepared to give the order for a strike.

He claimed intervention was necessary due to chemical attacks � though it was never

proven who had launched them.

It has been openly questioned by many if the crime was committed by the rebels that the

US had armed.

Trump tweeted that all of Obama�s talking has given his targets a chance to prepare.

Syria has prepared for an attack based on all of our "talk" � they have moved targeted

ammunition and supplies to new locations.Amazing!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2013

On the first day of September, 2013, Trump expressed his relief that Obama�s weakness

may have been a blessing.

President Obama's weakness and indecision may have saved us from doing a horrible and

very costly (in more ways than money) attack on Syria!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2013

This was also the day that a Twitter user asked Trump how he would handle the situation

if he was president.

Trump responded that he would let them fight each other while focusing on the US.

"@mguarino64: @realDonaldTrump " How would you treat the Syria situation if president

?" I'd let them all fight with each other-focus on US!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2013

Trump again expressed his annoyance with the Arab League.

The Arab League stated that it wants nothing to do with an attack on Syria, but they want

us to attack.Are our leaders insane or just stupid

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 2, 2013

As well as with the fact that the administration was being so open with their plans.

We have given Syria so much time and information-there has never been such an instance in wartime

history.

Syria is now fully prepared!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 2, 2013

The next day, September 2, 2013, Trump again expressed his frustration with the fact that

the administration has been so public with their strategies.

"@DanScavino: @realDonaldTrump � it's so bad there are actually maps of targets now

in #Syria & where USA ships would attack from.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 2, 2013

If the U.S. attacks Syria and hits the wrong targets, killing civilians, there will be

worldwide hell to pay.

Stay away and fix broken U.S.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2013

Think of it, the Arab League doesn't want to get involved with Syria � but they want

us to do their dirty work.

How stupid!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2013

September 3, 2013, he stated that �the great GENERALS MacArthur and Patton, real leaders

and fighters, are spinning in their graves as we give Syria info & time to prepare.�

The great GENERALS MacArthur and Patton, real leaders and fighters, are spinning in their

graves as we give Syria info & time to prepare.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2013

He also once again urged the nation to stay out of Syria.

What I am saying is stay out of Syria.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2013

Again, expressing his outrage over the loss of the element of surprise.

For all of those fools that want to attack Syria, the U.S.has lost the vital element

of surprise-so stupid-could be a disaster!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2013

On September 4, things escalated once again as the United States Senate Committee on Foreign

Relations approved the Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against the Government

of Syria to Respond to Use of Chemical Weapons.

The bill forbid putting boots on the ground, but if passed, would give the president power

to take �direct action� and engage in intervention for 90 days.

It still needed to pass through the Congress and Senate.

Trump tweeted: �Many Syrian �rebels� are radical Jihadis.

Not our friends & supporting them doesn�t serve our national interest.

Stay out of Syria!�

Many Syrian �rebels� are radical Jihadis.

Not our friends & supporting them doesn't serve our national interest.

Stay out of Syria!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2013

The next day, on September 5, 2013, Trump tweeted about the infamous �red line�

comment made by Obama, and claimed it was the only reason he actually wanted to intervene.

President Obama put himself in a very bad position when he talked about Syria crossing

the RED LINE.

Amazingly, now he denies he said that!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

The only reason President Obama wants to attack Syria is to save face over his very dumb RED

LINE statement.

Do NOT attack Syria,fix U.S.A.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

He also questioned if we should stop Iran�s nuclear capabilities while everyone was focused

on Syria.

While everyone is waiting and prepared for us to attack Syria, maybe we should knock

the hell out of Iran and their nuclear capabilities?

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

�and made himself very clear in all-caps.

AGAIN, TO OUR VERY FOOLISH LEADER, DO NOT ATTACK SYRIA � IF YOU DO MANY VERY BAD THINGS

WILL HAPPEN & FROM THAT FIGHT THE U.S. GETS NOTHING!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

He also noted that members of the Bush administration shouldn�t even be commenting, since the

Iraq War was a �waste of blood and treasure.�

All former Bush administration officials should have zero standing on Syria.

Iraq was a waste of blood & treasure.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

Trump, even then, worried about needless conflict with Russia.

Russia is sending a fleet of ships to the Mediterranean.

Obama�s war in Syria has the potential to widen into a worldwide conflict.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

He also expressed concern about terrorists calling themselves rebels, and therefore being

armed by the US.

The terrorists in Syria are calling themselves REBELS and getting away with it because our

leaders are so completely stupid!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2013

On September 6, 2013, Trump joked that Obama destroy Syria by exporting Obamacare.

If Syria was forced to use Obamacare they would self-destruct without a shot being fired.

Obama should sell them that idea!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 6, 2013

Saturday, September 7, 2013, Trump referred to the civil war as a �politician�s war.�

Syria has been given so much time that much of the things we were going to bomb have been

moved into civilian areas!

A polititian's war.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 7, 2013

Again, urging Obama to stay out of Syria, telling him to �save your �powder� for

another (and more important) day!

President Obama, do not attack Syria.

There is no upside and tremendous downside.

Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 7, 2013

That Monday, September 9, 2013, the day after rebels, including al-Nusra Front, took control

of the historic Christian town of Maalula, Trump continued his rants that we need to

stay out and focus on making the US strong and great again.

Don't attack Syria � an attack that will bring nothing but trouble for the U.S. Focus

on making our country strong and great again!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 9, 2013

Continuing to show his anti-needless war stance, he again brought up the failings of the Iraq

War.

Iraq has granted Iran full air rights to fly over and arm Syria.

What did America accomplish with the Iraq war?

And now Syria?!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 9, 2013

September 10, 2013, he noted that the Russians were making the US look bad by playing a �very

smart game.�

The Russians are playing a very smart game.

In the meantime they are buying lots of time for Syria and making U.S. look foolish.

Dangerous!

At this point, Trump backed off his quest to stay out of Syria, not tweeting the name

of the nation again until June 26, 2014.

This was the day after the Syrian Air Force killed at least 57 civilians by bombing the

Islamic State in Iraq.

Now Syria is bombing Iraq and Secy.

Kerry, after we blew the hell out of the place, says please don't do that.

Syria is a front for Iran.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 26, 2014

On August 25, 2014, Trump called it �ironic� that �we will now be helping Syria and Iran

by attacking ISIS.� The day before, ISIS forces had captured the Tabqa airbase from

the Syrian military.

We will now be helping Syria and Iran by attacking ISIS � ironic, isn't it!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2014

On September 4, 2014, Trump stated that �any American who fights w/ ISIS in Iraq or Syria

should have their passport revoked.

If they try to come back in, send them to Gitmo.�

Any American who fights w/ ISIS in Iraq or Syria should have their passport revoked.

Sixteen days later, on September 20, 2014, he expressed doubt that the US was really

sure they were arming �moderate� rebels.

Do you believe that Obama is giving weapons to "moderate rebels" in Syria.Isn't sure who

they are.

What the hell is he doing.Will turn on us

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2014

On September 23, 2014, he mocked the administration for saying that Syria borders Saudi Arabia.

Obama administration said that Saudi Arabia was on Syria�s border http://t.co/s4AI85JHSe

Wrong.

These are the civilians planning the war.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2014

On June 15, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president, and the live-tweeting of the

Syrian Civil War calmed for a while.

On November 4, 2015, Trump quoted Sean Hannity�s tweet about how the US needs to be less predictable

when it comes to Syria.

"@seanhannity: @realDonaldTrump on sending 50 Special Ops Forces troops to Syria: This

country needs to be less predictable.�

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 4, 2015

On November 17, 2015, Trump expressed his concern about the refugees coming from Syria

potentially having ties to ISIS.

Refugees from Syria are now pouring into our great country.

Who knows who they are � some could be ISIS.

Is our president insane?

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 17, 2015

March 24, 2016, Trump tweeted that �Europe and the U.S. must immediately stop taking

in people from Syria.

This will be the destruction of civilization as we know it!

So sad!�

When Russian President Vladimir Putin and Obama failed to make a deal regarding Syria

on September 5, 2016, Trump noted that the US president was not a good deal maker.

President Obama & Putin fail to reach deal on Syria � so what else is new?

Obama is not a natural deal maker.

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2016

Two weeks later, September 19, Trump quoted a tweet about how refugees coming from Syria

were not being properly vetted.

"@TarukMatuk: @CNN @FoxNews @realDonaldTrump @RogerRice10 Refugees from Syria over 10k

A week after that, on September 26, he noted that Hillary Clinton�s interventions around

the world, including Syria, were failures.

nukes.

Not good!

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2017

On February 12, after his executive order impacting immigration from seven nations,

including Syria, Trump tweeted that 72% of refugees came to America from those countries.

72% of refugees admitted into U.S. (2/3 -2/11) during COURT BREAKDOWN are from 7 countries:

SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA & YEMEN

� Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2017

On April 5, 2017, following a chemical attack that reportedly killed at least 72 people,

Trump seemed to change his tune, calling the act an �affront to humanity� and asserting

that his views on �Syria and the Assad regime have changed.�

Trump refused to say what he would do in response, however, again ridiculing the Obama administration

and the military for announcing ahead of time that they intended to recapture Mosul.

Many others have questioned whether or not this was actually the act of another group,

like the rebels.

It appears questionable that Assad would commit such an atrocity on his own people after the

White House had asserted their only goal in Syria was to combat Islamic terrorism, and

not enact regime change.

�It makes no sense, even if you were totally separate from this and take no sides of this

and you were just an analyst, it doesn�t make sense for Assad under these conditions

to all of the sudden use poison gasses.

I think it�s zero chance that he would have done this deliberately,� Ron Paul said on

Wednesday.

PROBIOTICS 101: THE TRUTH, THE FICTION, & WHAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO - Duration: 5:44.

PROBIOTICS 101: THE TRUTH, THE FICTION, & WHAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO

Want to improve your digestion, immune system, and moods, clear your skin, lower your risks

of certain diseases, and achieve a healthy weight?

Reaching all of these health goals and more lies in your gut, literally.

Microorganisms including bacteria and yeasts live along your digestive tract, but when

your system is strained by stress, illness, medication, or an unhealthy diet, the natural

balance of �good� bacteria to �bad� can be compromised (also referred to as �gut

dysbiosis�), leading to leaky gut syndrome, constipation, bloating, mood swings, weight

gain, and other medical concerns.

Adding probiotics to your lifestyle through supplements or dietary changes is one of the

easiest and most effective ways to balance your gut and restore your health.

In this article, we�ll take a look at the basics of probiotics: what they are, how they

work, and where you can find them.

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are �good� live bacteria that are similar or the same as the bacteria that

already live inside your body (humans have upwards of 400 varieties in their bodies),

and they provide a health benefit to their host when consumed.

There are many strains commercially available as dietary supplements � with Lactobacillus

acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei being among the best known � each of which address

specific aspects of your health, from improving how your body absorbs nutrients to improving

skin and hair.[1]

How Do Probiotics Function in the Body?

While the benefits of probiotics have been known for over a century, scientists and medical

professionals are still researching the exact ways they work in the complex gut ecosystem

(or biome).

We do know that consuming them helps the repopulated good bacteria in the gut flora, which improves

the overall vitality and strength of the digestive and immune functions.

Health Conditions and Diseases That May Improve With Probiotics

Many health conditions and diseases are linked with the gut system because over 80% of the

body�s immune function takes place there.

Conditions that have been shown to improve by supporting the gut system include allergies,

autism, acute and travellers� diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, thyroid disorders,

and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.

Additionally, they can help improve short-term conditions from becoming more enduring or

serious, for example, supporting the body against yeast infections or other symptoms

associated with the use of antibiotics.

Add Probiotic-Rich Vegetarian and Vegan Foods to Your Diet

Anyone can get the health benefits of probiotics, even without taking supplements, by including

them as part of their diet.

Probiotic-rich foods have been a staple of food cultures around the world for centuries,

and traditional foods that contain them are safe to consume on a daily basis.

While dairy products such as yogurt and kefir are often associated with live probiotic cultures

(and are even marketed for their gut-friendly health benefits!), there are plenty of vegan

sources of probiotics to choose from as well including kombucha, fermented vegetables such

as organic pickles, kimchi, and sauerkraut, and fermented soy products including as miso

and tempeh.

Additionally, you can consume apple cider vinegar, either by drinking a small amount

in the morning or using it as an ingredient in your cooking.

Note, the rise of probiotics� popularity over the last decade has caused many food

manufacturers to add them to processed foods they are not naturally found in (such as energy

bars), and the benefits of consuming them this way are still a subject of research.

Lifestyle Changes That Improve the Effectiveness of Your Probiotics

Consuming probiotics can certainly improve health on their own, but there are many ways

people can support their effectiveness.

Make efforts to reduce your stress levels, avoid foods that inflame your digestive lining

(such as alcohol or processed foods), get more sleep, and avoid environmental toxins

when possible �for example, swapping your regular household cleaners and air fresheners

for natural products � to maximize how your probiotics help you.

Which Probiotics Are Right for You?

As mentioned above, traditional probiotic-rich foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi are safe

for regular consumption for anyone, but those looking to improve specific health conditions

with probiotics should consult their healthcare provider or dietician to identify the strains

that will provide the most benefits

for their personal needs.

Teambuilding Interventions: Effectiveness - Duration: 6:31.

This is the Wikipedia page on teambuilding retrieved on Jan 25, 2017.

And I promise you that I did not edit this page intentionally just to make it look inaccurate.

We are not gonna check the accuracy and veracity of this entire page, we will only fact-check

this small section on teambuilding's effect on performance -- three short paragraphs with

four references.

I have no idea who wrote this section, but let's check how true it is -- sentence by

sentence.

First sentence: "Team building has been scientifically shown to positively affect team effectiveness"

and they reference to Shuffler et al. 2011, which is this article, which I have carefully

studied.

The quintessential argument of this review article is that there is no 'one size fits

all' teambuilding and that teambuilding is effective only when it is properly designed

and conducted according to sound organizational science -- hence the title: there is a science

for that.

It does not mean that science has shown that teambuilding always works, it's simply saying

there's a science to it.

In fact, this article talks about how teambuilding is often misused and therefore can be unproductive

or even counterproductive.

So, I do not find this first sentence to be an accurate reflection of the source that

they are citing.

I would rewrite it into something like -- "Teambuilding interventions can positively affect team effectiveness

only when they are properly designed and executed according to sound organizational science",

then I'd reference the Shuffler et al. 2011 article.

This paragraph goes on to say "Goal setting and role clarification were shown to have

impact on cognitive, affective, process and performance outcomes.

They had the most powerful impact on affective and process outcomes", and they reference

the Klein et al. 2009 meta analysis, which is this article.

Is this sentence accurate?

Absolutely not!

Let me show you tables 4 and 5 from the Klein et al. article in the context of a review.

Table 4 shows that the two largest effect sizes are on affective and process outcomes

indeed, but the independent variable for this analysis was the four teambuilding components

COMBINED.

In other words, Klein et al. did not and could not state that the sources of these 2 effect

sizes were actually goal setting and role clarification.

Not at all.

They couldn't say that and they didn't say that.

This Wikipedia paragraph also says that according to Klein et al., goal setting and role clarification

were shown to have impact on all four outcomes -- cognitive affective process and performance.

No, Klein et al. did not say that, either.

They show in their Table 5 that goal setting and role clarification, but ALSO interpersonal

relations AND problem solving, they all had impact on the dependent variable WHEN the

dependent variable was the four types of outcomes COMBINED.

That's very different! Klein et al. did not discern the effects of the four teambuilding

components on the four types of outcomes individually.

Their analyses simply did not speak to that issue and they did not make any such claim.

So really, if we were to take the time to read and understand this Klein et al. article,

we would realize that this second sentence of this Wikipedia paragraph is a misrepresentation

of the findings of the Klein et al. paper.

Next paragraph: "Goal setting and role clarification have the greatest impact because they enhance

motivation, reduce conflict" and they referenced Locke and Latham 2002.

All right, that's fine, I have no major critical remarks here because this sentence comes across

to me as a reasonable interpretation.

Last paragraph: "Teams with 10 or more members appear to benefit the most from team building.

This is attributed to larger teams having a greater reservoir of cognitive resources",

they referenced this to Halebian & Finkelstein 1993, which is this article.

Firstly, this article did not discuss teambuilding interventions whatsoever.

So how could it have been the source of the claim that teams with 10 or more people benefit

the most from teambuilding?

This article did say that larger teams have more cognitive resources, which is logical

and understandable, but it did not say anything at all about teambuilding interventions or

teambuilding effectiveness.

What a sneaky and incomplete reference!

And now let's take a look at this bar chart here -- it says here that this chart is based

on the Klein et al. meta analysis.

Let me quickly point out to you that there is not a single bar chart in the Klein et

al. paper.

This chart here is supposedly made in Excel on the basis of the findings of Klein et al.

by this user "sfathima138" who, by the way, no longer exists as a user.

But let's take a look at this chart and see if it makes any sense.

This bar chart is visualizing and contrasting in three colored bars the lower bound and

upper bound of the 90 percent credibility intervals with effect sizes, which makes very

little sense.

It is like using a bar chart to contrast the Pearson correlation coefficient against the

p value.

What's the meaning of that?

If someone feels this chart is actually meaningful and useful, well please tell me exactly what

you see in this chart and explain to me what they actually mean and how they help you.

As far as I can tell, this chart is included here just for show.

Finally, let's look at this section as a whole again.

The heading of this section is teambuilding's "effect on PERFORMANCE".

And yet, the first sentence of this section replaced 'performance' with 'effectiveness'

-- claiming that teambuilding can improve team effectiveness, choosing not to talk about

teambuilding effect on actual work or task performance.

Why did whoever wrote this section not focus on performance, as the heading of this section

indicates they should?

In fact, the Klein et al. paper showed that teambuilding, when all four components were

combined as the predictor variable, had significant, credible, positive effects on all outcomes,

so -- cognitive, process, and affective outcomes, except performance outcome.

Performance outcome was the only type of outcome whose 90 percent credibility interval included

0 -- an important finding that Klein et al. explicitly pointed out on page 210, paragraph

2, line 4.

In addition, Klein et al. stated in their abstract and in the paper itself that their

results are merely suggestive, especially when it comes teambuilding's effectiveness

on performance outcome and cognitive outcome.

The Klein et al. paper is a very thorough and clear paper, but it has certainly been

misrepresented here in this section of Wikipedia page on teambuilding.

So, does teambuilding work?

Is it effective?

Well, don't trust what you read from this Wikipedia entry.

As I pointed out in this video, the section on this Wikipedia page regarding teambuilding

effectiveness is a misrepresentation of the sources that they referenced.

If you are really interested in understanding when teambuilding may be effective, read the

actual papers by Shuffler et al. 2011, or the meta analyses done by Klein et al. 2009

and Salas et al. 1999.

All right, thanks for bearing with me.

Hope you find this video informative, as usual, thanks for watching and I will see you in

my next video.
