Those separatists need to stop their rebellion. THE Ukraine
is part of Mother Russia. Putin is like Abraham Lincoln. The
*real* Ukrainians love him, and also mourn the tragedy of
the greatest mistake in history, the breakup of the beloved
USSR.

I have another sea salt. It was the one I kept at work. It has a
'best use by' date. Got it in Dec 2022. Best use by date it says is
May 2027.

Yup! Now the anti-caking part in table salt may stop working, but
thats not used in sea salt.

You have again conflated Trump with SOROS- moron that you are.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/arunpudur_in-a-1998-interview-george-soros-admits-to-activity-7045000603265093632-H-yN

"In a 1998 Interview George Soros admits to helping Nazis during the Holocaust:

Steve Kroft: “Was it difficult?”

Soros: “Not at all. Not at all.”

Kroft: “No feeling of guilt?”

Soros: “No.”

Soros destroyed economies of many developing and underdeveloped countries for his profit and takes pride in it. He has openly admitted to several regime changes using riots and so called revolutions. He is particularly excited about what he did in Ukraine, his latest war.

This is one evil man. Btw, the Ukrainian Parliament (Верховная Рада Украины) celebrated Stepan Bandera’s birthday on their twitter page this year. Bandera was the biggest Ukrainian Nazi collaborator during WWII, respondible for killing over 100,000 Polish, Jewish, and Slavic people. "

I know that right-wingers often mention this Soros but I have no idea
who that is.

Are you also going to bring up a certain Klaus and his Great Reset? Or
the pizzeria basement where the Clintons drink the blood of babies to
stay young?

Well, comes from seawater. If layers of it are found in old dried out
seabeds, it might be mined (Packistan etc,) or surface collected (salt
flats of Utah, etc.). If made from evaporating sea water (Maldon.
etc.) it is evaporated and collected. Wet areas like UK use heat to
evaporate the water. Maldon is in coastal Essex, England and the sea
salt I like comes from there. The Romans had a salt works near there
too.

Because you are grossly under-educated, especially for Dutchie.

He's the aging international bond/currency arbitrager that took down the Bank Of England, among others.

One of the patents for adrenochrme is held by the Rotshchilds, ergo one milk bar is the same as another to the global "elites", eh?

https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/3m-applied-for-patent-to-manufacture-adrenochrome/

While adrenochrome is not mentioned in the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and is therefore not an illegal substance, adrenochrome has no medical use and is not approved by the FDA as a drug.

In the 1950s and 1960s, several small-scale studies involving 15 or fewer test subjects found that adrenochrome triggered psychotic reactions such as thought disorder, derealization, and euphoria — intense feelings of pleasure, excitement, well being and happiness. Pop culture lore also maintains adrenochrome has life-extending effect — “an immortality serum“. All of which may be why the chemical is rumored to be sought after by certain elites.

Surprisingly, some do have a sort of 'hibernation'. It has a differnt
name but common in Michagan.

Most don't migrate. Some live only a year but some live longer.

Millions of monarch butterflies flutter to the mountains in Mexico every October

Before we can discuss this, I first have to use the same drugs as you,
otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

There are at least 10 butterflies in North America known to migrate:

They don't all migrate all the way because their life cycle is so short.
It is a progression of generations than come north, eat, reproduce and
then start the return migration. It takes several generations of
Monarchs to migrate north.

It's a wonder any actually make it. Go though a truck stop and see how
many butterflies are splattered on the grills and windshields of trucks.
Given the height at which they fly and the number of roads they have to
cross it's amazing that any of them actually make it.

You can start with B complex and liposomal C - let me know if you manage to undo the brain damage upstairs...
