Siyamak sits down with Victor Davis Hanson, scholar and historian with the Hoover Institute, to talk about what makes California so expensive, why millions of people left California, and how California is becoming a medieval society.

“We have the largest number of billionaires in the United States, we have the wealthiest zip codes. We also have the highest number of people on public assistance," Mr. Hanson said. "You sort of had a medieval society where the middle class fled. And those are the brightest and the best and the smartest and the most capable and the most angry, most important.” ____

On Oct. 24, Empower Oversight issued a short press release that was initially overlooked by most. The release noted that “Empower Oversight has recently learned the U.S. Department of Justice had subpoenaed the personal phone records and emails of Empower’s founder, Jason Foster, while he worked on Capitol Hill in 2017, along with several other staff, both Democrats and Republicans.”

Although it took some time to gain traction, that small press release set off a firestorm of inquiry. And shined a light into the self-protecting actions of the executive branch of government during the initial phases of the various Congressional investigations into what became known as the Russia Collusion narrative. Also known as SpyGate.

As we’ll see, the Department of Justice was using the cover of “leak investigations” to investigate those who were actually investigating them. A highly coordinated effort to keep real-time tabs on what was being uncovered by investigators for the Congressional GOP.

Alzheimer’s sufferers have lower plasmalogen levels than healthy people. Plasmalogen is a phospholipid essential to brain, lung, and heart function. Neuro-biochemical researcher Dr. Dayan Goodenowe identifies low plasmalogen as the cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

What happens when plasmalogen levels are restored in dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia sufferers?

On Vital Signs, host Brendon Fallon presents stories of people with severe dementia now receiving Dr. Goodenowe’s plasmalogen treatment, along with other essential nutrients. These patients include Carolyn, in her 70s and Helen, who's in her 80s. Both women have suffered a severe loss of mobility and cognition, including the ability to communicate, through dementia.

In 2007, Dr. Goodenowe patented a mass-spectrometry technology that identified low plasmalogen levels in the blood of Alzheimer’s sufferers. The results he has seen in restoring plasmalogen to Alzheimer’s patients support his conviction that low plasmalogen is the essential cause of Alzheimer’s.

The benefits of plasmalogen restoration relate to how our neurons (nerve cells) connect and transmit information to each other, as Dr. Goodowe explains:

“The fundamental operating system of the brain is synaptic transmission, fueled by vesicular release of neurotransmitters. That is ground zero of all human neurological function.”

And, he says, "that vesicular transport process is entirely dependent on plamalogen levels in the synapse.”

How are the faculties of memory and cognition created in the brain? What shuts those nerve connections down? And how does plasmalogen restoration work bring them back online?
