Psilocybin Can ‘Maximize’ Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury, Scientific Review Concludes

Psilocybin, a main chemical component in psychedelic mushrooms, could play a beneficial role in patients recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to a new scientific review published in the journal Brain Science.

Reviewing 29 published studies about the use of psilocybin in patients with TBI, a three-person team from Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and Hackensack Meridian’s JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute concluded that assisted psilocybin use “may have benefits in TBI by reducing inflammation, promoting neuroplasticity and neuroregeneration, and alleviating associated mood disorders.”

That conclusion, along with “positive findings in related fields, like treatment for depression and addiction, highlight the necessity for more extensive clinical trials on psilocybin’s role in TBI recovery,” authors wrote.

“The research on psilocybin as a therapeutic agent shows promise for its application in TBI in theory,” the new review says, “but it requires more in-depth studies.”

The report points to psilocybin’s apparent anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to promote the production of new neurons and connections in the brain. It also says the drug’s antidepressant properties could be helpful given the comparatively high rates of depression in TBI patients.

But the new paper also flags “concerns regarding potential ‘bad trips’ and other possible side effects,” emphasizing the “need for more controlled clinical trials to establish safe and effective protocols.”

Notably, the review found no indication that classical psychedelics were associated with an increase risk of seizures, which authors said was important given the heightened incidence of seizures already associated with TBI.

Authors emphasized that federal restrictions on psilocybin limit researchers’ abilities to easily conduct trials, writing that although “decriminalization efforts in the United States are indicative of growing interest, its federal Schedule I classification limits rigorous scientific exploration.”

Overall, the paper says, “psilocybin treatment with current therapeutic practices has the potential to maximize TBI recovery, thus providing a novel method to enhance treatment for people dealing with this persistent condition.”

The research comes amid a renewed interest in psychedelics to treat mental health and medical conditions, including TBI and post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), especially in military veterans.

What the CIA’s Covert Websites Were Hiding

The C.I.A. didn’t just infiltrate governments; it infiltrated the internet itself. For over a decade, Langley operated a sprawling network of covert websites that served as global spy terminals disguised as harmless blogs, news hubs, and fan pages.

Beginning in 2004, the C.I.A. established a vast network of at least 885 websites, ranging from Johnny Carson and Star Wars fan pages to online message boards about Rastafari. Spanning 29 languages and targeting at least 36 countries directly, these websites were aimed not only at adversaries such as China, Venezuela, and Russia, but also at allied nations, including France, Italy, and Spain, showing that the United States treats its friends much like its foes.

Soccer Blogs & Cracked Passwords

Gholamreza Hosseini is a former C.I.A. informant. In 2007, the Tehran-based industrial engineer contacted the agency and offered to pass them information about Iran’s nuclear energy program. His C.I.A. handlers showed him how to use IranianGoals.com to communicate with them.

Iranian Goals was a Farsi-language website that appeared to be dedicated to local soccer news. However, what appeared to be a search bar at the bottom of the home page was actually a password field. Typing the correct word into it would trigger a login process, revealing a secret messaging interface. Each informant had their own webpage, designed specifically for them, to insulate them from others in the network.

It seemed like an ingenious idea. However, Hosseini and the other spies were soon detected, thanks to some sloppy mistakes in Washington, D.C. An Iranian double agent revealed to the authorities their unique website, and some basic detective work led to the uncovering of the entire network.

The C.I.A. purchased the hosting space for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of these websites in bulk, often from the same internet providers, or the same server space. That meant that the IP addresses of these websites were consecutive, akin to housing each informant in adjacent properties on the same street.

Thus, if you looked at neighboring IP addresses, you would see similarly designed websites and could easily put two and two together. Even with some relatively basic online searches, Iranian authorities were able to identify dozens of C.I.A.-run websites. From there, they simply waited to see who would access them.

The Surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald Involved Six CIA Operations

Why do people say Lee Harvey Oswald was under CIA surveillance at the time of President Kennedy’s assassination?

For six good reasons found in the new JFK files.

The reporters from SpyTalk who have never previously reported on the existence of the CIA’s Oswald file now want you to believe that JFK Facts reporting on the Oswald file “conspiratorial nonsense.” There’s “less here than meets the eye,” they say.

So let’s take a closer look at the six CIA operations that involved the man who would become known the “lone gunman.” What meets the eye when we open the Oswald file?

The CIA’s surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald while President Kennedy was still alive was persistent and high-level. It involved code-named covert activities conducted or controlled by the CIA’s Counterintelligence Staff, which was headed by James Angleton, one of the top three officials in the clandestine service.

Angleton and his wife Cicely, incidentally, had been personal friends with John and Jackie Kennedy in the 1950s. The Kennedys and Angletons socialized with Wister Janney, a CIA officer, and his wife Mary, and Cord Meyer, a senior CIA official, and his wife Mary Meyer. By the time JFK was president, Mary had divorced her husband and embarked on affair with JFK, which Angleton knew about.

Code named KUDESK, the Counterintelligence Staff was responsible for preventing the penetration of the CIA by the Soviet intelligence service. As the most secretive component of the clandestine service, the Counterintelligence Staff also handled very sensitive assignments, including assassination. In his best-sellling memoir, Spycatcher British spy chief Peter Wright recalled a meeting in 1961 where Angleton and Bill Harvey, the CIA’s assassination chief, asked for advice about how to kill Fidel Castro.

It’s a point worth remembering: the CIA officers most interested in an unknown character named Lee Harvey Oswald also believed in, and practiced, assassination as an instrument of U.S. policy.

UK Government Moves to Investigate 4chan Under Draconian ‘Online Safety Act’ — Platform’s SAVAGE Response Leaves Them Humiliated

The British government is at it again, weaponizing its so-called “Online Safety Act” to crack down on speech it doesn’t like.

This time, the target is none other than the online forum 4chan, the notorious online discussion board where anonymous users post unfiltered commentary that sends elites into fits.

On June 10, 2025, Ofcom, the UK’s Orwellian Office of Communications, opened an official investigation into 4chan.

According to Ofcom, the platform failed to hand over information on demand, did not file the “appropriate illegal content risk assessments,” and didn’t bow to London’s censorship mandates. In other words, 4chan refused to bend the knee.

By August 13, Ofcom escalated matters, issuing a provisional notice of contravention under the Act and threatening fines of £20,000 ($27,100) plus daily penalties until the platform complied.

According to the notice:

Provisional Decision: Information Notice duties

In accordance with section 130 of the Online Safety Act 2023, we have today issued 4chan Community Support LLC with a provisional notice of contravention.

Ofcom is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing the provider has contravened its duties under section 102(8) of the Act to comply with two requests for information. We will consider any representations provided in response to this provisional notice before we make a final decision on this matter.

The additional duties under investigation

On 10 June 2025, we opened an investigation into whether the provider of 4chan has failed/is failing to comply with its duties under the Online Safety Act 2023 to:

  • adequately respond to a statutory information request;
  • complete and keep a record of a suitable and sufficient illegal content risk assessment; and
  • comply with the safety duties about illegal content.

Ofcom’s investigation continues to examine concurrently whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that the provider has failed, or is failing, to comply with the other duties under investigation, including duties to protect its users from illegal content. We will provide updates on these matters in due course.

But instead of cowering, 4chan and its legal team fired back with a blistering response that left Ofcom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s censors utterly humiliated.

In a blistering legal statement posted by Byrne & Storm, P.C. and Coleman Law, P.C., 4chan’s lawyers dismantled Ofcom’s fantasy that they had authority over an American company.

The statement went further, warning that U.S. federal authorities had already been briefed and that the Trump Administration should be prepared to step in to defend American companies against foreign censorship mandates.

The statement reads:

According to press reports, the U.K. Office of Communications (“Ofcom”) has issued a provisional notice under the Online Safety Act alleging a contravention by 4chan and indicating an intention to impose a penalty of £20,000, plus daily penalties thereafter.

4chan is a United States company, incorporated in Delaware, with no establishment, assets, or operations in the United Kingdom. Any attempt to impose or enforce a penalty against 4chan will be resisted in U.S. federal court.

American businesses do not surrender their First Amendment rights because a foreign bureaucrat sends them an e-mail. Under settled principles of U.S. law, American courts will not enforce foreign penal fines or censorship codes.

If necessary, we will seek appropriate relief in U.S. federal court to confirm these principles.

United States federal authorities have been briefed on this matter.

The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, was reportedly warned by the White House to cease targeting Americans with U.K. censorship codes (according to reporting in the Telegraph on July 30th).

Despite these warnings, Ofcom continues its illegal campaign of harassment against American technology firms. A political solution to this matter is urgently required and that solution must come from the highest levels of American government.

We call on the Trump Administration to invoke all diplomatic and legal levers available to the United States to protect American companies from extraterritorial censorship mandates.

Our client reserves all rights.

PLANDEMIC 2.0: Is BILL GATES behind the latest outbreak of ‘Break-Bone’ Dengue Fever with his GMO mosquitoes?

Sound the Dengue alarms! Panic at the plandemic, part two. But wait, don’t “break your bones” rushing to get an mRNA blood clot, turbo cancer shot or the Dengvaxia jab. The last round of scamdemic madness is killing off millions of people. Let’s take a look at what’s really happening. Oh dang, here come the dangvaxia mandates.

Health officials across the United States are raising alarms as dengue fever, often called “break-bone fever” due to its severe joint and muscle pain, continues to surge nationwide. Hawaii has reported 12 cases so far in 2025, bringing it close to surpassing the state’s 16 cases recorded throughout 2024. The most recent infection involved a resident of Oahu who contracted the virus during international travel to a dengue-endemic region.

  • Hawaii outbreak and national surge: Hawaii has reported 12 dengue fever cases in 2025—nearly matching last year’s total—while the CDC has documented 2,725 cases nationwide across 46 states and territories, with Puerto Rico, Florida, and California hardest hit.
  • Source and spread: The most recent Hawaii case involved an Oahu resident infected during international travel. Dengue is primarily spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which thrives in tropical and subtropical regions.
  • Health risks and treatment: Symptoms include high fever, severe joint pain, rash, and in severe cases, internal bleeding or shock. While supportive care like fluid replacement reduces mortality to below 1%, untreated cases can be fatal.
  • Vaccine and prevention challenges: A WHO-approved vaccine exists but production has been halted by Sanofi Pasteur due to low demand, with remaining doses expected to run out by 2026. Health officials stress mosquito control, repellents, protective clothing, and screened housing as key preventive measures.

Deep State Exposed: Biden Officials Implicated in Globalist Romanian Coup – File Reportedly on DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s Desk

A bombshell revelation is brewing in Washington. According to a high-level source inside the Trump administration, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is now reviewing a secret dossier on the December 6, 2024 coup d’état in Romania—one that points directly to former Biden regime officials.

The file reportedly names three top Biden operatives: disgraced Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, his assistant James O’Brien, and U.S. Ambassador to Bucharest Kathleen Kavalec. Their fingerprints, according to the source, are all over Romania’s election annulment.

In a scheme that looks eerily familiar, the Biden crew allegedly teamed up with Romanian insiders—including former Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu, ex-Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, and former President Klaus Iohannis—to overturn Romania’s presidential vote under the tired pretext of “Russian interference.”

Sound familiar? It certainly ought. to. It’s the same playbook the globalist, anti-American establishment used against President Trump in 2016—copy, paste, repeat.

This week, former Romanian presidential candidate Călin Georgescu dropped a stunner while speaking outside the Bucharest District Police Department, where he’s forced to report weekly under judicial control.

He said, quote:

“As you have seen, the brave DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard has exposed all those who fabricated the file of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, where President Trump won fair and square. I guarantee that the file of the annulment of the elections in Romania is also on the table of the U.S. intelligence services, with clear perpetrators identified, former high-ranking officials from the Biden administration as well as their tools in Bucharest.”

Georgescu went further, blasting French President Emmanuel Macron’s meddling in Romania, promising he’ll be “sent packing with his tail between his legs.” Does he know more than he’s letting on?

The Trump administration has clearly taken notice. In May, the Department of Homeland Security revoked Romania’s entry into the Visa Waiver Program—a move Romania’s own foreign minister later admitted was punishment for the fraudulent annulment of its elections. T

The State Department’s latest Democracy Report also singled out Romania for trampling its voters’ rights.

The Creation of New ICD-10 Codes for Post-Covid Vaccine Syndrome

“If you define the problem correctly, you almost have the solution.”

― Steve Jobs

Definitions matter. In almost any context, problems left undefined inevitably remain problems left unsolved.

For this reason, healthcare professionals worldwide rely upon the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), a standardized system used to categorize and code diseases, symptoms, and health conditions. In the United States, ICD-10 codes serve as the foundation for medical records, insurance billing, epidemiological research, and public health policy. Without specific ICD-10 codes, severe conditions may remain invisible in the healthcare data ecosystem—making it harder to track, study, or provide adequate care.

This is precisely the challenge facing thousands of Americans suffering from persistent severe adverse events after receiving a Covid vaccine—a condition recently defined as Post-Covid Vaccine Syndrome (PCVS). As one of those individuals, I know all too well how debilitating and life-altering this condition can be. Our symptoms include exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, and dizziness. They develop shortly after vaccination, within a day or two, can become more severe in the days that follow, and persist over time.

At present, there are no dedicated ICD-10 codes for PCVS. This absence has significant consequences for patients, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Visibility in the Healthcare System

One of the primary functions of ICD-10 codes is to make a condition visible within the healthcare system. Without specific codes, PCVS is at best recorded under vague categories like “unspecified adverse effect of vaccine” or “other specified postvaccination complication.” Leery of contradicting the safe and effective narrative, many providers simply utilize codes for general symptoms such as “fatigue” or “paresthesia.” As a result, PCVS is effectively lost in a sea of unrelated data.

Dedicated codes would allow providers to document PCVS in a standardized way, ensuring it is recognized in patient records, insurance claims, and national health databases. This visibility is crucial for legitimizing PCVS in the eyes of both a conflicted medical community and a polarized public.

Comey Trashes President Trump in 5-Minute Rant, Says Taylor Swift Helps Him Cope with Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey once again trashed President Trump in a 5-minute rant posted to his Substack.

Comey said pop singer Taylor Swift, who appeals to tweens and juvenile women in their 30s, helps him deal with President Trump.

This is the same guy who once ran the most premiere law enforcement agency in the US.

Full Comey transcript:

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to my Substack. Last week’s cold turns out to have been COVID—quite a flashback. Donald Trump is still President and still humiliating America on a national stage, standing next to Vladimir Putin. It’s like a dream—a bad dream you can’t wake up from. But I don’t want to talk about that bad dream this week. I want to talk about a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift.

Of course, I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey Brothers. Of course, I watched the whole thing, although on YouTube, Patrice and I got kicked off for the last 15 minutes and finished it on her phone. But I watched it. You see, Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. I’ve been to a second, and I have helped financially support the attendance of a lot of family members at others. I’m in a family Swiftie group chat. I know all her music, and I listen to it on my headphones when I cut the grass. So yes, I have a favorite of hers—although honestly, for me, it’s a tie between All Too Well, 10 Minute Version and Exile featuring Bon Iver.

Taylor Swift has grown up with my family and provided us a soundtrack, really, as we’ve grown ourselves and learned and adapted and dealt with adversity and celebration. She had songs for all of it. I suspect that’s something that millions of Americans have also experienced in their families. I think that’s because Taylor Swift produces great art, but also because she models something.

At every stage of her career, she’s shown a certain way of being that resonated with my kids and also felt right to me as a parent. She’s still doing that as a grown-up. Like a lot of you, I struggle with how to stand up to bullies without letting their meanness infect me and change me. You may have seen that the governor of California has been generating a lot of attention lately by posting on social media in a satirical way where he mocks Donald Trump and his all-caps megalomania and his absurdity. I find it very funny—hilarious even sometimes. But I’ve got to be honest, it also leaves me with a strange feeling at times, because I don’t want us to become like Trump and his followers. There are far more decent, honest, kind people in America than there are mean jerks.

Now, don’t get me wrong—we have our jerks, millions of them, you may have noticed. In particular, there’s a stunning coarseness and ugliness in the Republican Party today. It’s upsetting, but it’s also a minority of America. On the whole, we aren’t like that, and we don’t like that. I think that’s a big part of the reason so few Americans support Donald Trump when they have to see him up close, and why Republicans are so worried about what’s coming for them next year.

And to be clear, I am not an advocate for weakness. Of course, we need to stand up to jerks and defend what matters. But I think we have to try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift. She’s made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is. And last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him. Of course, we’re now living with the consequences of that mistake.

But while our elderly, makeup-covered President is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and declaring that he can’t stand her, what’s she doing? Living her best life, producing great music, and—as she urged all of us to do during the podcast—not giving the jerks power over her mind.

She said something about dealing with internet trolls that stuck with me: Think of your energy as if it’s expensive. Think of it as a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it. I really enjoy reading Arthur Brooks, who writes columns about happiness in The Atlantic. I don’t know if he’s a Swiftie, but last week he wrote about research on the way that being rude or snarky actually hurts the rude person.

As he wrote: When you become less polite, the alteration in your conduct can make you less happy, more depressed, and angrier about life. I know you get that even without the research. Just watch Fox News or hang around on X, and you’ll see what he means. We can’t stop people from being jerks. What we can do is stop it from hurting us, from changing us.

At my second Taylor Swift concert in Hartford, Connecticut, 14 years ago this summer, she sang a song about this topic, asking: Why you gotta be so mean? And she spoke directly to the nasty people: I bet you got pushed around. Somebody made you cold. But the cycle ends right now, because you can’t lead me down that road.

You’ll be glad I didn’t sing that. That’s right—because down that road is unhappiness. Nobody should have that power over us.

Thank you, Taylor Swift. Keep the faith.

Democrats Don’t Get To Act Thoughtful About Solving The Crime Problem They Created

Democrats and the dying media know they have no leg to stand on when it comes to crime, but because they can never just sit still and be quiet, they’re acting like they have deep thoughts on law and order.

No, thanks! They don’t get to adopt positions like “defund the police,” throwing the country into a violent hell for nearly half a decade, and then have a say in how we pull ourselves out.

The New York Times, effectively the conscience of the Democrat establishment, wrote in a lengthy editorial Thursday on the “lessons” of recent years “that can help policymakers reduce crime even further and make progress against other societal ills.” Those lessons naturally come after the Times repeats the prerequisite talking point among Democrats that “crime is down,” but more importantly, the lessons are the obvious things that Democrats and the media shut down and shamed people for saying aloud for years.

“In 2020, policymakers played a direct role in accelerating [societal breakdown] by shuttering services that promote social cohesion,” the editorial said. “Consider school closures. Whether to keep schools closed after the initial months of the pandemic was a difficult decision. But officials at least should have put more weight on obvious costs of closures, including learning loss, social isolation and the possibility that closures contribute to crime.”

If you’re not already in a seething rage, holding back violent temptations, continue reading.

Billionaires For Socialism: The $2 Billion “Grassroots” Operation Behind Zohran Mamdani

How the Working Families Party sells itself as “grassroots” — with IRS-documented, publicly admitted “common control” revealing it’s really a Soros-financed political money washer.

In New York politics, there’s one machine that towers above the rest. No, not the Democratic Party—it’s the Working Families Party, the most powerful minor party in America. Its name sounds wholesome enough—who doesn’t support “working families”? But behind that branding lies a $2 billion tax-exempt laundromat that’s anything but local, grassroots, or honest.

Take Zohran Mamdani, their current belle of the ball. 

After winning his race, he announced on NBC: “I don’t think we should have billionaires.” Hilarious considering Mamdani’s “grassroots” revolution was fueled by over $2 million in PAC and organizational spending, much of it courtesy of the very billionaire class he allegedly opposes.
