Tinnitus and Hip and knees …Show for 4-15-26
Tinnitus condition: sounds, typically of a ringing or buzzing nature, perceived in the ear in the absence of an external stimulus. Reducing tinnitus, or the perception of ringing in the ears, involves managing symptoms through sound therapy, behavioral counseling, and lifestyle adjustments, as no universal cure exists. Effective strategies include using white noise machines to mask sound, wearing hearing aids to reduce listening strain, practicing stress-reduction techniques, and addressing underlying causes like earwax buildup or jaw tension.Hip conditions
Hip conditions frequently stem from arthritis, injuries, or structural issues like dysplasia, often causing pain in the hip, groin, or knee, along with stiffness and limited mobility. Common issues include osteoarthritis, bursitis, labral tears, and fractures. Treatments range from physical therapy to surgery, such as hip replacement. Common Hip Conditions & Disorders
Hip SymptomsPain in the hip, groin, or thigh.Referred pain, often felt in the knee.Stiffness and reduced range of motion.Limping.Pain that disrupts sleep. Common Causes and Contributing FactorsAge-related wear and tear: Leading to osteoarthritis.Injuries: Falls, sports injuries, or, direct impacts.Overuse: Repetitive motions causing tendinitis or bursitis.Developmental or structural issues: Hip dysplasia.Referred pain: Nerve issues from the lower spine (e.g., sciatica or pinched nerves) can mimic hip pain. Diagnosis and Treatment
Knee conditions
Knee conditions encompass a wide range of injuries and diseases causing pain, swelling, and instability, commonly affecting mobility. Common types include ,osteoarthritis, ligament tears (ACL/MCL), meniscus tears, tendonitis, and bursitis,often stemming from sports injuries, overuse, or aging. Diagnosis involves physical exams and imaging (X-ray, MRI), with treatments ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention.
Common Types of Knee ConditionsOsteoarthritis (OA): Wear-and-tear arthritis causing cartilage deterioration, commonly in older adults.Ligament Injuries: Tears to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), often causing instability.Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage padding (menisci) that acts as a shock absorber.Tendinitis (Tendonitis): Inflammation of tendons, such as patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee).Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Known as “runner’s knee,” causing pain around the kneecap.Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that cushion the joint.Gout/Pseudogout: Arthritis caused by uric acid or calcium crystal buildup.Other Conditions: Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and knee fractures or dislocations. Common Causes and Risk Factors
Symptoms of Knee ConditionsPain: Acute, chronic, or sharp pain, often localized or behind the kneecap.Swelling: Fluid buildup and inflammation within the joint.Instability: The knee feels like it is “giving way”.Stiffness/Locking: Difficulty straightening the leg or feeling the knee is stuck.

Happy “Tax Day”! I wonder what the American Revolutionary Founders would think of ‘Tax Day’, on this momentous 250th Anniversary of our American Independence…?

JIM LEHRER: What is the proper relationship, what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States?
ALAN GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means, basically, that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place and there is no evidence that the administration or the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don’t, frankly, matter. And I’ve had very good relationships with presidents.
Fractional reserve banking is the banking system most countries use today. It requires banks to hold only a fraction of the money their customers deposit. That amount is the reserve requirement, and in most countries, it is set by the central bank. Banks can loan the rest of their deposits to other customers, which serves to expand the economy.
It works like this. Banks accept deposits from individuals and businesses providing them with savings and checking accounts in return. Banks can loan out the bulk of those deposits to other customers to buy homes or cars, start businesses, or to fund other projects. If a customer deposits $100,000 into a bank and the reserve requirement is 5%, the bank can loan $95,000 out to other customers. Once the bank has loaned out $95,000, it in essence has created $195,000. Customers borrow that $95,000 and deposit some or all of it into other banks. If the reserve requirement is still 5%, then the other banks can loan $90,250 to new customers. And the process keeps repeating itself.
Financial crisis occurs when the fractional banking system breaks down and the money supply does not expand. Many US banks had to shut down during the Great Depression, because so many people attempted to withdraw their money at the same time. Today, safeguards exist to prevent such an occurrence.

The bankruptcies in London have recommenced with new force. There is no saying where this fire will end. Perhaps in the general conflagration of all their paper. …nothing is necessary but a general panic, produced either by failures, invasion or any other cause, and the whole visionary fabric vanishes into air and shews that paper is poverty, that it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.
The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled. Where something so important is involved, a deeper mystery seems only decent.
Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.
We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Our landholders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.
The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demonstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States.
Sec. 30.. The right to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved.
HYPOTH’ECATE, verb transitive [Latin hypotheca, a pledge; Gr. to put under, to suppose.]
1. To pledge, and properly to pledge the keel of a ship, that is, the ship itself, as security for the repayment of money borrowed to carry on a voyage. In this case the lender hazards the loss of his money by the loss of the ship, but if the ship returns safe, he received his principal, with the premium or interest agreed on, though it may exceed the legal rate of interest.
2. To pledge, as goods.
In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.
Jimenez, Guillermo. “The Tsarnaevs and the CIA: Who Is Graham Fuller?” Traces of Reality by Guillermo Jimenez, 2026, web.archive.org/web/20130503080950/tracesofreality.com/2013/04/29/the-tsarnaevs-and-the-cia-who-is-graham-fuller/. Accessed 15 Apr. 2026.
It has been confirmed that the Tsarnaev family, at least to some degree, have been connected to the Central Intelligence Agency for almost 20 years.
In 1995, Ruslan Tsarni (formerly known as Ruslan Tsarnaev, affectionately known as “Uncle Ruslan,” the American corporate media darling who bemoaned the alleged actions of his nephews Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev ) married the daughter of the former Deputy Director of the CIA’s National Council on Intelligence, Graham Fuller.
While the marriage of Samantha Ankara Fuller and Ruslan Tsarnaev was short-lived, reportedly ending in divorce in 1999, it appears that Ruslan and Graham Fuller were more than just father-in-law and son. They may also been business partners.
These key details in the history of the Tsarnaev family and the CIA were first reported by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow Morning News, and the marriage of Fuller’s daughter and Ruslan has indeed been confirmed by Al-Monitor reporter, Laura Rozen.

I asked Super Grok what the optimum concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is for plant growth. Grok told me that 1,000 to 2,000 parts per million (ppm) produces the greatest flourishing of plants. Grok also told me that plants die at 150 ppm. And are in steep decline at 200-300 ppm. Grok said we’re at 420 ppm right now. That means that out of the last 2,000 air molecules you just breathed, less than 1 is carbon dioxide. Yet the green new scam has been brainwashing you and your children with the “horrors” of your “carbon footprint”, meaning evil carbon dioxide. Today, on April 14, 2026, there’s one small problem with that entire premise for the entire Democrat/anti-American agenda: life on earth absolutely depends on carbon dioxide in sufficient concentration to grow plant life! And we’re not even close to the concentration of carbon dioxide trace gas for optimal plant growth. The kind of 1,000 ppm that the dinosaurs enjoyed as their enormous bodies strolled through gigantic plant life that makes our current plant life look like a barren dessert! Give one of the first boomers, Donald John Trump, born in 1946, some credit for being the first and only world leader to correctly identify the worldwide totalitarian hoax of controlling your “carbon footprint” as what it is: the Green New Scam.
