Dandelion Salad
stock here: I saw this at the Cuttlefish, h/t, with a curious story of a well published marxist who just died at 92. Although, most believe in “capitalism” or “free markets” but we should also admit that the success of the USA is also it’s hobbling feature.
That being the USA is so successful, that even that level of success allowed substantial regulatory capture, allowing the plundering and poisoning of the American people.
Have at it, let me know what you think, on this success epiphany, and the dead marxist.
stock here: The “strutting” meme is powerful with this one. It reminds / allusions to the Strutting of the Woke, so self confident that they are in the right (correct).
It’s their strutting. That detestable image of the strutting that links them, the strutting and prancing Fascists and their swaggering and parading military cousins, up front for their conveniently concealed corporatist controllers. A strutting and swaggering couple they are, Fascism and the entrenched class of war. Their distorted visions of gallantry and nation come so naturally to both. The spick and span generals, employers of mercenaries and killers, chin in, chest out, and their majors and their colonels (especially the generals in the offices and the majors in the tents), thick chests covered with ribbons and medals and rows of multicolored decorations—awarded for killing. And the political Fascists! Defiant chins thrust forward, hard fists clinched, swaggering and prancing and strutting across the stages of piazzas nations and continents—in support of the killing.
For God’s sakes let’s don’t waste time on the propaganda of “supporting our troops over there!” Or defense of America’s values! Or the future of our children! Or the war on terrorism! Let’s don’t waste words on that. As if in their strutting and blustering they had a monopoly on care for our sons! Let the generals and the industrial-military complex and our new administration (hopefully) support our boys “over there” in the only way that really counts—by bringing them home.

8.1 Earthquake Philipines, Mindinao
stock here: fairly deep too.
stock here: I will publish my “Superblend” which is a mix of around 18 natural supplements that all have a purpose and was developed over a period of years, and went scientific on dosing for each. It works out to 3 tablespoons of powder per day.
I am seeing a huge use for A-Eye in reviewing medical prescriptions, but the net effect is going to be less prescriptions (more discovered interactions, or plain contra-indicated), and the big Pharma is going to fight tooth and nail to keep prescription review entirely with it’s minions (LOL)
—
There is a real tension here, although the outcome may be more nuanced than “AI means fewer prescriptions.”
Where AI could genuinely help
Prescription review is one of the strongest use cases for AI because it involves:
- Thousands of drugs
- Constantly changing interaction databases
- Complex patient histories
- Time pressure on physicians and pharmacists
An AI system can instantly check:
- Drug-drug interactions
- Drug-supplement interactions
- Age-related concerns
- Kidney and liver dosing
- Duplicate therapies
- Contraindications
- Beers Criteria medications (higher-risk drugs in older adults)
No human can keep all of that in their head simultaneously.
For example, a future AI might flag:
“Patient is taking three medications that each independently increase fall risk. Combined risk is substantially elevated.”
That’s the sort of pattern that can be missed in a busy clinic.
Why prescriptions might decrease
There are several mechanisms:
- Deprescribing
- Many older patients accumulate medications over decades.
- AI may identify drugs that are no longer needed.
- Duplicate therapies
- Two doctors prescribe similar medications.
- Nobody notices until a comprehensive review.
- Interaction avoidance
- A new drug may be avoided because it creates more risk than benefit.
- Non-drug alternatives
- AI may point out that lifestyle interventions, physical therapy, or monitoring are reasonable first-line options.
Why prescriptions might also increase
The opposite effect is possible.
AI may identify:
- Untreated hypertension
- Missed diabetes
- Inadequate anticoagulation
- Preventive therapies supported by evidence
In those cases, prescriptions could actually go up.
How pharmaceutical companies might respond
Large pharmaceutical companies are not monolithic. Their incentives vary.
Some may resist AI systems that:
- Reduce unnecessary prescribing
- Increase scrutiny of side effects
- Highlight non-drug alternatives
On the other hand, they may embrace AI systems that:
- Improve adherence
- Identify untreated patients
- Match drugs to patients more accurately
A company generally wants its medication prescribed to the patients most likely to benefit and remain on therapy.
The bigger resistance may come from the system itself
The largest obstacle may not be pharmaceutical companies but:
- Liability concerns
- Regulatory approval
- Electronic medical record integration
- Provider workflow changes
- Reimbursement models
If an AI says:
“This medication should probably be stopped,”
and a physician disagrees, who is responsible if something goes wrong?
Healthcare systems are very sensitive to that question.
What I suspect happens
In the next 5–10 years, the most successful model will probably be:
AI reviews every prescription, but a licensed clinician remains responsible for the final decision.
Think of it like:
- Human pilot + advanced avionics
- Human radiologist + AI image review
- Human engineer + structural analysis software
The AI may catch things that humans miss, while the human provides judgment, context, and accountability.
One area where I think AI could have enormous value is exactly what many patients experience today: seeing multiple specialists who each prescribe within their own domain, while nobody performs a comprehensive review of the entire medication and supplement stack. AI is particularly well suited to that “whole-system” analysis.
stock here: And the point is short and sweet. They are having trouble in life, for a lot of reasons, but for one important aspect is an unrealistic view of reality….
You can tell that a certain amount of people, are basically in poor organizational shape, they are living a poor life because of unrealistic expectations, which are not improved by our lying mass media and the totally fake stories coming out of Hollywood. Thus these disillusioned people make requests for “cheap”, “high quality” and “fast”. They should realize that what they are asking for is unrealistic, except for maybe a 1000 to 1 chance.
stock here: Mandy appeals to a wide range of people, but she alienates many of them by “attacking the widow”. I totally agree that if Erika was not a direct participant inn his death, that she at least knew about it coming.
stock here: Maybe it would be in better taste, after the decades of Epstein and the satanic clubs, to avoid buying up Caribbean Islands?
Mandy, seems to have taken quite a few steps back from being a Trump and Family Fan.

UFO’s and Demons
stock here: I find it odd to remove this “certified” priest exorcist, simply because he links some UFOs with Demons. Methinks he was getting too popular on Social Media.
Rossetti, who has over 148,000 followers on Instagram, is a prominent psychologist as well as an exorcist. His center has specialized in offering spiritual healing for priests troubled by various difficulties.
Indeed, priests with demons in them, are the worst.
—————- A “splain” it
To be recognized as an exorcist by the Archdiocese of Washington, or any Catholic diocese, a priest does not simply declare himself an exorcist. Under Catholic canon law, a priest must be specifically appointed by the local bishop.
The relevant law is Canon 1172 of the Catholic Church:
No one can legitimately perform exorcisms over the possessed unless he has obtained special and express permission from the local ordinary (bishop).
The typical requirements are:
- Ordained Catholic priest
- Good standing with his bishop
- Demonstrated theological and spiritual maturity
- Prudence, psychological balance, and discretion
- Specialized training (often through courses in Rome)
- Formal appointment by the diocesan bishop
The bishop can also revoke that appointment at any time.
In the case of the Archdiocese of Washington, Cardinal Robert McElroy has authority over who may publicly function as an exorcist within the archdiocese.
What happened with Fr. Rossetti?
The priest mentioned is Stephen Rossetti.
From public reporting, the Archdiocese of Washington clarified that Rossetti remains a priest in good standing but is no longer authorized to present himself publicly as an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington after comments suggesting that many UFO sightings may actually be demonic manifestations.
The key issue was not that he believed demons exist. The Catholic Church absolutely teaches the existence of demons and the possibility of demonic influence.
Rather, the concern appears to have been that:
- He publicly connected UFO phenomena with demonic activity as a personal opinion.
- He spoke in a way that could be interpreted as presenting that opinion with ecclesiastical authority.
- The Church has no official teaching that UFOs are demons.
The Vatican has generally taken a cautious position: claims of UFOs, extraterrestrials, apparitions, mystical experiences, and alleged supernatural events should be investigated carefully without jumping to conclusions.
Does the Catholic Church allow belief in aliens?
Yes.
Several high-ranking Catholic figures have explicitly said that belief in extraterrestrial life is not contrary to Catholic doctrine.
For example, Guy Consolmagno has repeatedly stated that the discovery of extraterrestrial life would not contradict the Catholic faith.
The Church has no dogma requiring belief or disbelief in extraterrestrials.
Why would an exorcist suspect UFOs are demonic?
Many exorcists approach the issue from a spiritual-warfare perspective.
Their reasoning is often:
- Some UFO encounters involve messages hostile to religion.
- Some alleged alien-abduction reports contain elements similar to historical demonic oppression cases.
- Certain experiencers report relief through prayer or religious practices.
Because of those parallels, some exorcists suspect that at least some phenomena could be spiritual rather than extraterrestrial.
However, that remains a theological opinion, not official Church teaching.
Historically, has the Church ever taught that UFOs are demons?
No.
The Church has historically taught:
- Angels exist.
- Demons exist.
- Spiritual beings can deceive humans.
- Extraordinary claims require discernment.
But there is no official Catholic doctrine stating:
“UFOs are demons.”
Nor is there doctrine stating:
“Aliens definitely exist.”
Both remain open questions.
An interesting distinction
Most Catholic theologians would separate three questions:
- Are there extraterrestrial intelligences somewhere in creation?
- Possibly.
- Are some alleged UFO experiences psychological, mistaken, fraudulent, or natural phenomena?
- Certainly possible.
- Could some experiences involve spiritual deception or demonic influence?
- Theologically possible according to Catholic teaching.
Where Fr. Rossetti’s comments became controversial was moving from #3 (“some could be”) toward “many or most are demons,” which goes beyond anything formally taught by the Church.
So, if your question is whether someone could become an exorcist in Washington while holding Rossetti’s views: yes, a priest could privately hold that opinion. But once acting under the authority of the archdiocese, he would generally be expected to distinguish clearly between official Catholic doctrine and his personal theological speculation.
Yes. People reported strange aerial phenomena long before the term “UFO” existed. However, they did not usually describe them as spacecraft. They interpreted them through the worldview of their era: angels, demons, divine signs, celestial armies, dragons, flying ships, or omens.
A few notable examples:
1561 — Nuremberg, Germany
One of the most famous cases.
A broadsheet illustrated what witnesses described as:
- spheres
- crosses
- cylinders
- objects apparently maneuvering in the sky
- what looked like a battle overhead
The people of the time interpreted it largely as a divine warning from God rather than extraterrestrials.
1566 — Basel, Switzerland
Reports described black spheres moving through the sky and apparently colliding with one another.
Again, contemporaries viewed this as a heavenly sign.
1639 — Colonial America
John Winthrop recorded an account in which several men allegedly observed a bright light moving rapidly over a river. According to the report, the light maneuvered in ways they found unusual.
Modern UFO researchers frequently cite this account.
1700s
The 1700s contain many reports of:
- mysterious lights
- “fiery globes”
- luminous objects
- unexplained atmospheric phenomena
But the reports are generally less detailed than later accounts because:
- there were fewer newspapers
- fewer scientifically trained observers
- little incentive to preserve such reports
Many events that today might be called UFO sightings were instead recorded as:
- comets
- portents
- angelic signs
- atmospheric wonders
1800s — The “Airship” Wave
This is where things get particularly interesting.
In 1896–1897, thousands of Americans reported seeing mysterious airships.
Witnesses described:
- cigar-shaped craft
- bright lights
- apparent propulsion systems
- human-like occupants
4
What’s fascinating is that these objects often resembled what people imagined advanced technology might look like in the late 19th century.
This observation is one reason some psychologists argue that reports are influenced by culture.
What would Rossetti say?
If you apply Fr. Rossetti’s reasoning, he might argue:
- In the Middle Ages, people reported angels, demons, and heavenly battles.
- In the industrial age, people reported mysterious airships.
- In the space age, people report extraterrestrial craft.
Therefore, he might suggest the underlying phenomenon is the same but interpreted through different cultural lenses.
That is not a proven conclusion—it is one interpretation.
A challenge to the “it’s all aliens” idea
One reason some theologians and historians are skeptical that every UFO report involves extraterrestrial spacecraft is that the descriptions seem to evolve with human expectations:
| Era | Common Description |
|---|---|
| Medieval | Angels, demons, fiery chariots |
| 1700s | Omens, heavenly lights |
| 1890s | Airships |
| 1940s–1950s | Flying saucers |
| Modern | Advanced craft, drones, interdimensional beings |
