I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could bring in $17 BILLION a year – funding the essential services Australians rely on. Meanwhile, big gas keeps cashing in while everyday Australians pay the price. ✍️ Sign the petition: theaus.in/4uV4XwU

In mid 2022 I drew a diagram showing what Australia could have if we didn’t pursue #AUKUS submarines. At the time I did not fully appreciate the mess that AUKUS would become but, I did understand our fuel reserve vulnerability. #auspol

@AdyLady9969 Yes, I see you frequently...keep applying the pressure!

This is the REAL reason you feel tired… or energetic… or mentally sharp… or completely drained. Every second of your life, your cells are doing one thing above all else: ➡️ Turning the food you eat into energy (ATP). This diagram explains the whole process in a way anyone can understand. Your body isn’t powered by calories (at least in that form), it’s powered by ATP, the molecule your cells burn for everything: thinking, lifting, healing, digestion, immunity, even staying alive. Here’s what this chart makes clear: 🔵 Step 1: Glycolysis (Quick Energy) Happens in the cytoplasm. Breaks down glucose fast. Creates a little ATP. This is why carbs hit quickly: rapid fuel access. 🟢 Step 2: Krebs Cycle (Clean Energy) Happens in the mitochondria. Breaks down the leftovers from glycolysis. Releases CO₂ and loads up the electron carriers. This sets the stage for the real payoff. 🟣 Step 3: Electron Transport Chain (Big Energy) THIS is where the magic happens. This step makes about 90% of your ATP. This is why mitochondrial health = actual energy. So what’s the practical takeaway? Your body isn’t just “tired," your cellular engines are underperforming. Want more natural energy? 🔥 Move your body → activity stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis 🔥 Eat enough protein & micronutrients → they’re required to run these pathways 🔥 Get sunlight → supports mitochondrial signaling 🔥 Prioritize sleep → mitochondria repair while you rest 🔥 Control stress → chronic cortisol suppresses mitochondrial output 🔥 Breathe deeply → oxygen literally feeds the final step of energy production 🔥 Avoid ultra-processed foods → they disrupt the pathways shown in the graphic When people say “boost your energy,” THIS is what they’re talking about, improving the most fundamental process your cells use to stay alive. The more your mitochondria thrive, the better YOU feel: mentally, physically, emotionally. Energy isn’t motivation. It’s cellular metabolism. And you can support it every single day.

🔋 Mitochondria run their core power system using bacterial-style DNA. 🧬 But they need your nuclear DNA for support, repair, and growth. Think of it like a battery with its own mini-engine — it sparks on its own, but the car (your cell) builds and maintains it. Bottom line: Mitochondria are semi-independent — powered by ancient bacterial genes, guided by your human ones.

A guide to nutrients that support mitochondria Mitochondria turn food into usable energy (ATP) and are critical for brain, muscle, and overall health. Stress, aging, and disease can damage them, but certain nutrients help keep them strong and functional. 1️⃣ Antioxidants & Protectors Quercetin (from apples, onions): Restores mitochondrial energy production and stabilizes membranes. Green tea (EGCG): Shields mitochondria in brain, liver, muscle, and heart from oxidative stress. Resveratrol (from grapes, red wine): Promotes recycling of old mitochondria (mitophagy) and boosts antioxidant defenses. Lipoic acid: Cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes; enhances oxygen use and reduces oxidative stress. 🟢 Example: These nutrients act like “shields,” reducing damage from free radicals. 2️⃣ Energy Carriers & Cofactors Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Electron carrier in the respiratory chain; without it, mitochondria can’t make ATP efficiently. NAD+ precursors (NR, NMN, NAM): Increase NAD+ levels, stimulating mitochondrial energy production and delaying decline with age. Creatine: Buffers cellular energy; supports mitochondrial function and helps protect against damage in high-demand tissues like muscle and brain. 🟢 Example: These compounds are like “wiring and batteries” that keep the power grid running. 3️⃣ Membrane & Structural Support Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA): Build mitochondrial membranes, reduce stress, and promote healthy turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria. Acetyl-L-carnitine: Helps shuttle fatty acids into mitochondria for burning; improves oxygen use and membrane stability. 🟢 Example: Think of these as “building materials” that strengthen mitochondrial walls and fuel delivery. 4️⃣ Mitochondrial Biogenesis (New Mitochondria) Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ): Stimulates creation of new mitochondria (biogenesis). Deficiency reduces mitochondrial numbers. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC): Boosts glutathione, improves mitochondrial antioxidant status, and enhances respiration. 🟢 Example: These nutrients are like “construction signals,” telling the body to build more mitochondria and keep them working. Your mitochondria thrive on the right mix of protection (antioxidants), fuel carriers (CoQ10, NAD+, creatine), building blocks (omega-3s, carnitine), and growth triggers (PQQ, NAC). Together, these nutrients help sustain energy, slow aging, and protect high-demand tissues like brain, heart, and muscle.
