LUMPENPROLETARIAT—[Thursday, 7 APR 2022] SALIENT OBSERVATIONS According to one of the homies, actor Sean Penn has been doing the talk show rounds unwittingly pushing for World War III by “talking about helping Ukraine…” For some reason, the actor has been hanging around with right-winger Sean Hannity. I’m not saying all right-wingers ought to be distrusted. Yes, as Sean Penn says distrust can become “a petty thing”. Trust must be earned. And Sean Penn parroting U.S. State Department talking points only diminishes my trust in, both, Seans. The salient point is everyone right of center is pro-capitalist. This is how Sean Penn described how he initially responded to Sean Hannity’s phone call:
Penn responded: “I said, ‘I don’t trust you. But we have to get on with life.’ We all talk about how divisive things are, how divided things are here. When you step into a country of incredible unity, you realize what we’ve all been missing. I don’t think I’ve got time to indulge my lack of trust, which becomes a petty thing. These people are fighting for the dreams and aspirations of all of us Americans.”
—quoted from “Sean Penn to Sean Hannity: ‘When you step into a country of incredible unity, you realize what we’ve all been missing'” by Marianne Garvey, CNN, 6 APR 2022.
Unfortunately, overall, Sean Penn amplifies a basic establishment Russophobic narrative about Ukraine, which leaves out important historical context, including the 2014 US-backed coup in Ukraine and the role of the NATO agenda to encircle Russia. CNN also reported, “Penn spent time in Ukraine in November, when he met with Ukrainian forces as tensions rose between the country and neighboring Russia.” But no mention was made about the Azov Battalion nor neo-Nazis in the Ukranian government and military. Vice/Disney should have invited Scott Ritter along with Sean Penn, to help the Vice/Disney team make sense of what’s really going on in Ukraine. Instead, Scott Ritter is being censored by Twitter.
In other local news, Central California cops have been “having fun on Facebook”, posting “stupid shit”, like “talking shit” about ‘a guy with a video playing on his smartphone mounted on his dash’. ‘But thanks to the watchful eye of the cops, we busted that villain.‘ Gawd. Fascists. ‘Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy/Oh, man! I wonder if he’ll ever know…” Meanwhile, the real criminals, the white-collar criminals operate with impunity. The purpose of police appears to be that of henchmen for society’s power elite, to subjugate and discipline the working class, the poor, and the houseless. The example of cops posting silly remarks about traffic violations, misdemeanors, or petty crime on Facebook, as if they are tackling the great social ills of our society is laughable evidence of the two-tiered justice system, which favors moneyed interests and oppresses the working class. Notice how you’ll never see cops posting remarks about corporate corruption, white collar crimimals, corporate influence in Congress, or conscientious objector cops calling out crooked cops, cop gangs, and corruption within police agencies.

“The Smartest Way to Use Protein to Build Muscle (Science Explained) by Jeff Nippard, 7 APR 2022.
COMMENTS: Your author tends to agree with Jeff Nippard’s analysis of the upper ranges of daily protein intake. As noted in this video, recommended daily intake (RDI) levels vary wildly from the pitiful avoid-starvation RDI level published by the Bill Gates-funded World Health Organization of 0.8 g (per kg bodyweight) or 0.36 g (per lb bodyweight) to the common fitness rule-of-thumb of 1 g (per lb bodyweight). But some serious and successful bodybuilders and trainers have admitted it may take double that amount or more to max out one’s muscle-building potential. A commonly cited conservative figure is 0.8 g (per lb bodyweight). | And, as far as health, people like Dr. Gary Null will argue for a vegan, or vegetarian, or low-protein meal plan. But most people nowadays will say high protein meal plans are safe for “healthy individuals”; and they are crucial for muscle-building purposes. But people gotta get their blood checked. (See Dave Palumbo’s RX Muscle blood panel advice and detox protocol, et al.) Also 7-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney has a detox protocol, which he recommends, a supplement pack with a detox meal plan (which is a bit dated). Dave Palumbo’s detox meal plan is smarter. | Also, as Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler will admit, ‘to really bulk up, sometimes you gotta carb up.’ But carb-loading can be very hard on the system, the organs which have to process all that protein, excess fat, and carbs, especially for middle-aged or older people. Lee Haney says, like a race car needs an oil change, bodybuilders need a oil change for their bodies with regular detox periods of low- or no-protein, detoxing, chelating, and anti-inflammatory meal plans at least once a year, or several times per year. With high carb intake on a daily basis, avoiding insulin resistance is paramount. (cf. Dr. Bikman, Why We Get Sick)
