The Cholesterol Scam
Uncovering the biggest scandal in human history.
I lost 55 pounds in six weeks on a beach in Thailand.
No calorie counting. Water with a pinch of sea salt. Coffee and half a stick of butter. Beef, fish, eggs, mushrooms, and butter. That was the plan. It worked. I did not start from strength. I started from a hole.
Everything you have been told about cholesterol is wrong. For decades we feared fat and red meat. What if that story came from weak science, corporate incentives, and a poor grasp of human biology? This book tests the claims with evidence and clear thinking.
It also looks beyond food: falling birthrates, information control, and a metabolic path to treating cancer. Direct and skeptical, The Cholesterol Scam is a wake up call for anyone who wants better health and better thinking.
5. Globalism
The future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots.
― President Donald J. Trump
Globalism is an ideology aimed at connecting countries more closely by linking their economies, cultures, and governments. The goal is a united and interdependent world.
Supporters believe globalism promotes peace, boosts economies, and encourages cultural exchange. They also see it as essential for addressing major global problems such as climate change, pandemics, and poverty.
In Europe, globalism has become increasingly problematic because of the rising influence of bureaucrats in Brussels, who now shape national policies.
The European Union, originally created to facilitate free trade and cooperation, has evolved into a centralized institution, where decisions affecting hundreds of millions of people are made by faceless bureaucrats who were never elected by the public.
These officials impose sweeping rules on member states, ignoring local needs, cultures, and democratic choices. From farming and energy to migration and speech, Brussels now drives Europe’s agenda, putting ideology above practical needs. This one size fits all approach frustrates many Europeans, who feel that their national sovereignty is being weakened and their voices ignored.
In my own country, Norway, the Prime Minister has stated that the country must show solidarity with Europe by supplying the continent with cheap Norwegian electricity. The government has also invested billions of dollars in unsuccessful battery factories and hydrogen projects, to support Europe's failing energy policies.
During World War II, Vidkun Quisling made Norway infamous for betrayal by collaborating with foreign invaders against his own people. Today, Norway faces a similar kind of betrayal, as it's leaders willingly give up national control to foreign powers.
The Norwegian Constitution states that Norway is a a free, independent, indivisible, and inalienable kingdom, yet the government has given control of parts of the national power grid to Germany and the UK, arguably violating this principle.
It's curious that the leaders of a country with abundant and cheap hydroelectric power give away this natural advantage, forcing their own people and industries to pay the same extortionate prices as in countries that have chosen to destroy their own energy systems.
History shows that good times often produce weak leaders who become detached, idealistic, and reluctant to make tough decisions to protect their own countries. They lose sight of real-world consequences, aligning themselves with foreign values instead of national interests.
Germany is perhaps the saddest and most ironic example. Once respected for discipline and efficiency, the country is now trapped by self-destructive policies.
Under misguided humanitarian ideals, German leaders have encouraged mass immigration on an unprecedented scale, bringing in millions of poor and uneducated people without realistic integration plans.
These policies strain social services, reduce public safety, and rapidly changes the country’s demographics. It raises an uncomfortable question: Is this genuine compassion, or national self-destruction?
Regardless of intent, the costs are obvious: economic hardship, cultural friction, and a weakening of national identity. Yet political leaders persist, refusing to acknowledge the long-term consequences.
Countries that don't defend their own interests eventually fall, either from internal collapse or external pressure. Germany is on track to become an open-air museum for Americans and Europeans who left before it's collapse.
Globalism offers no real benefit to ordinary people. The idea that we should be ruled by a small group of unelected elites serves only those in power, not the public.
Germany is a shining example of how globalist ideologies backfire. The self-inflicted energy crisis illustrates this, created by short-sighted policies instead of practical solutions.
For decades, German industry depended on clean and affordable energy, a key pillar of its economic strength. But after shutting down all its nuclear power plants, the country now faces soaring energy prices and mounting pressure on its industries.
To compensate, politicians spent billions on solar and wind power without planning how to supply electricity when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow.
Predictably, Germany now depends heavily on expensive and polluting coal plants to fill gaps left by unreliable renewables.
Ironically, these green policies have resulted in record high CO₂ emissions and extreme electricity prices, obliterating Germanys manufacturing competitiveness. The rest of the world would be wise to learn from Germanys mistakes before it's too late.
After more than 30 years of peace and prosperity, Europeans have grown complacent, ending up with leaders who have never faced true hardship and lack the courage or moral conviction to challenge the system that put them in power. Europe need new leaders with a backbone, a functioning moral compass, and at least a passing interest in the well-being of their own citizens. Most of the current ones are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine, they mistake ideological compliance for moral virtue at the expense of the people they are supposed to represent.
To change course, we must first understand why harmful policies persist despite their obvious failures, and why ineffective leaders remain in power.
Many politicians maintain control through favoritism, a compliant media, and short-term populism rather than long-term planning. The media amplify narratives shaped by political and economic elites, shutting down criticism and sidelining alternative perspectives.
Meanwhile, education systems fall short in teaching critical thinking, leaving citizens ill-equipped to challenge dumb policies or hold leaders accountable.
Another problematic trend is credentialism, the belief that only experts with advanced degrees can discuss important issues in public. This approach excludes valuable insights from those without specialized academic qualifications, limits open debate, and narrows perspectives.
For example, in debates about climate or health policies, only people with specific advanced degrees are considered credible. Arguments like the widely quoted claim that 97% of climatologists agree are often used to silence questions from those without preapproved credentials, dismissing the genuine concerns and real-world experiences of the general public. I'll return to debunk that specific claim in Chapter 14 on climate change.
This expertocracy weakens democracy by creating barriers between citizens and decision makers. It excludes common sense and practical experiences, making policies disconnected from reality. Having wider public participation is important to ensure policies genuinely address the needs of all citizens.
Fear-driven rhetoric, like climate alarmism or health crises, is used to justify extreme measures that people wouldn't normally accept. Understanding this tactic is crucial for breaking the cycle and choosing leaders who prioritize sensible policies and the real interests of the public.
But recognizing the tactics is only the first step. To effectively change course, we need knowledge as well as strength.
By understanding our strengths and our opponents weaknesses, we can counter their tactics, share stories based on our values, and build a future based on freedom and truth.
The stories we keep hearing about climate, gender, migration, or equity are repeated constantly in media, politics, entertainment, and schools until they start to sound true. And that's exactly the point. These arguments sound appealing because they are created by some of the worlds smartest, richest, and most educated people. We are not dealing with fools; we are dealing with experts in persuasion and storytelling.
When confronted with arguments like these, it's worth recalling the infamous words of Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda minister: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
History tragically proved him correct, as the German people believed the Nazi propaganda so completely that an entire generation of young men was sacrificed defending those dangerously misleading ideas.
After the war, the United States took responsibility for governing Germany to ensure it would not start another war, having just started and lost two in quick succession. To avoid history repeating itself, America rebuilt Germany from scratch, teaching democratic values and guiding it toward adopting systems of government that had made America stable and prosperous.
The same thing happened in Japan. To avoid massive losses, the United States made Japan surrender and introduced major reforms. With American help, Japan became democratic and modern.
The sacrifices of American soldiers and their allies freed not only the victims of these regimes, but also the people of Japan and Germany from their own self-destructive ideas. Both countries owe their prosperity and democracy to the United States of America, which rebuilt them into peaceful, successful nations instead of leaving them in ruins.
We must never forget that World War II was a fight against tyranny, oppression, and dangerous ideologies. We should also remember how the United States won the Cold War against the Soviet Union through economic strength, strong alliances, and unwavering commitment to freedom.
Although the Cold War officially ended, it never truly disappeared. Today, Communist China is growing stronger, openly challenging the values the free world fought to defend.
China isn't just an economic rival; it's an authoritarian power seeking global dominance, silencing opposition and increasing control. Ignoring this threat risks an even greater conflict.
History shows that appeasement and complacency carry high costs. The fight for freedom never ends, it simply changes form. We must stay alert, prepared, and committed to defending it.
Authoritarianism is often misunderstood as a matter of brute force, tanks in the street, censorship, and political repression. But in reality, it’s much more subtle.
To be authoritarian is to decide for others without reasoned justification. It’s the exercise of power without rational, transparent foundations. Not because something is true, but because someone in power said so.
This is distinct from being authoritative, which means making decisions based on knowledge, logic, and proven expertise. While authority earns trust and convinces, authoritarianism demands obedience and forces compliance.
In the context of globalism, this distinction becomes important. Unelected groups impose rules that override national sovereignty and individual freedoms, relying not on open debate but on official statements, fear, or perceived urgency.
Such decisions lack scrutiny and rational discussion. This isn't just poor governance; it's authoritarianism, defined precisely by the absence of reason or rational justification.
For example, during the COVID pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) first said masks were unnecessary for the public, then reversed course without clear scientific justification. All countries immediately enforced mask mandates simply because the WHO had spoken, rather than relying on consistent evidence or clear explanations.
Another example is Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), a solution in search of a problem. Governments have yet to explain what issues it solves that current payment systems, such as cash, credit cards, or digital banking, don't already handle effectively. Unlike traditional money, CBDCs can be programmed, allowing authorities to monitor individual spending, restrict or redirect how money is used, or even freeze or delete funds completely.
Though marketed as a modern and convenient upgrade, the real outcome is a significant expansion of government control over personal finances, with serious implications for privacy and freedom.
When the WHO recommended lockdowns, most countries quickly enforced strict measures, causing enormous global economic and social damage. Now the WHO insists it only offered guidance, attempting to rewrite history to avoid responsibility.
Ironically, it claims all measures during the COVID pandemic were voluntary and decided locally. This conveniently ignores how it's recommendations were taken as global authoritarian directives.
The authoritarian impulse doesn’t require violence. It thrives in the vacuum left by critical thinking. Once reason is abandoned, absurdity becomes policy. A directive doesn’t have to make sense, it only needs a marketing team, a compliant press, and a crisis to exploit.
When international institutions impose measures without proper scientific basis or local democratic consent, they are not acting with enlightened guidance, they are enforcing obedience without justification.
Whether it’s environmental regulations that cripple national industries, public health mandates that ignore individual variation, or financial rules that erode local control, the pattern is the same: actions are taken without anchoring in logic, evidence, or real-world outcomes.
Decisions made without rational coherence are not just foolish, they are dangerous. They normalize submission to nonsense, erode public trust, and pave the way for increasingly arbitrary controls.
In a sense, globalism has become a delivery system for a new kind of authoritarianism: one that wears the mask of expertise, speaks in the language of progress, and operates without borders or accountability.
It doesn’t need to enforce obedience with violence, it achieves compliance through regulation, repetition, and the gradual erosion of meaning. The more absurd the rule, the more powerful the system becomes, because obedience to the irrational is the ultimate proof of control.
This subtle authoritarianism quietly reshapes society, unnoticed until firmly established. Small rules and gradual restrictions seem harmless on their own, but put together they create powerful controls disguised as safety or necessity.
Weak leadership becomes apparent when elected officials blindly accept foreign directives without considering their own citizens. Corrupt politicians betray their voters by putting global agendas above local interests. Rather than protecting their people, they enable authoritarian control by failing to question or reject harmful policies.
Education, media, and public discussion reinforce this by discouraging critical thinking and encouraging conformity. Schools teach compliance, and media promotes acceptance of official narratives.
Over time, people struggle to separate fact from fiction, becoming easily manipulated. Ultimately, this authoritarian approach turns active citizens into passive followers, undermining democracy and silencing debate. To protect freedom and self-governance, we must revive critical thinking and independent inquiry.
Today, we face threats from multiple fronts. China and Russia deliberately undermine Western democracies by spreading misinformation and exerting economic pressure.
Meanwhile, global elites promote divisive policies based on identity politics, eroding social cohesion and weakening our shared culture. Together, these forces aim to dismantle the institutions and shared values that hold our societies together.
Recognizing these combined threats is essential if we are to defend our freedom and preserve our way of life.
We need to ask ourselves: What motivates the globalists? Why do so many governments act against their own interests, passing harmful laws and ignoring public concerns?
This goes beyond incompetence; it points to influence or loyalty beyond national borders. Globalists openly talk about a new world order where borders and identities fade, and populations serve a centralized socialist agenda. It is not about unity or progress, but about control and power in the hands of a global elite.
At the center of the globalist movement is the World Economic Forum (WEF), founded by billionaire Klaus Schwab, who has enormous influence over world leaders and governments.
The WEF isn't just a think tank; it's a global hub where powerful elites gather to shape societys future, prioritizing centralized control over individual freedoms.
Their vision is clear: a society where people own nothing yet are somehow happy, and where basic freedoms like movement, speech, and financial independence are tightly controlled.
The WEF wants governments and corporations to collaborate in reshaping society, packaging these ideas with attractive slogans such as sustainability and equity.
Behind these slogans is a dangerous reality: a small elite gains power while ordinary people lose freedoms. If not stopped, this agenda will erase national sovereignty, eliminate privacy, and turn people into cogs in a tightly controlled society. The scariest part is how successful they have already been.
Bill Gates is a key figure within the globalist movement. He strongly opposes traditional animal agriculture, advocating instead for artificial meat and protein from insect larvae. He is also pushing widespread vaccination efforts in developing countries using poorly tested vaccines.
He has acquired large amounts of farmland and freshwater resources, raising questions about his motives and influence. His growing control over these resources fits closely with broader globalist ambitions.
He also promotes advanced surveillance technology and artificial intelligence, describing them as ways to improve public health and efficiency. He supports extensive data collection and digital identification systems for managing populations. Though presented as beneficial, these solutions increase centralized control over society.
Across the world, governments are adopting authoritarian policies that increase surveillance, limit free speech, and promote digital currencies to enhance control, all under the guise of public safety. The critical question is whether people will recognize these trends in time to stop them.
One of the most shocking and infuriating discoveries I made is that the same globalist elites behind the World Economic Forum also control organizations like Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and The Vaccine Alliance (GAVI).
Yes, the same people advocating global governance, sustainability, and equity also directed the disastrous pandemic response, controlled vaccine distribution, and profited enormously from it.
Quite a coincidence, isn’t it? Or perhaps not?
Empirical intuition redefines causal inference as a function of curiosity.
