BANGKOK, Thailand -- U.S.-backed Thailand and China-assisted Cambodia signed an extended 13-point peace agreement on August 7 silencing their five-day border war, but the stench from uncollected corpses and fear of their shadowy ghosts are haunting troops and residents along their disputed frontier.

"Both sides agree to a ceasefire involving all types of weapons, including attacks on civilians and civilian objects and military objectives of either side, in all cases and all areas," the document signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, stated.

"There shall be no troop movements, including patrols, towards the other side's position.

"Both sides agree not to increase forces along the entire Cambodia-Thailand border," which curves 500 miles long and has been disputed for the past 100 years because of squabbling over vague and imprecise French colonial maps.

The new ceasefire agreement also "includes military activities to enter the other side's air space and territory, or positions."

Proposed dietary guidelines promote increased animal fat consumption while ignoring a dangerous truth: Nearly 700 pharmaceutical compounds and pesticide residues contaminate America's meat supply, many of which concentrate in fat.

As the 2025 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans take shape, a serious disconnect threatens public health. Some advocates are calling for higher intake of animal fats and promoting so called ancestral or animal based keto diets, citing traditional wisdom and nutrient density. But these arguments overlook a central fact:

In reality, diets like Keto often rely on meat and dairy from industrial production systems, where contamination with drugs and chemicals is routine. The promise of healing through meat and fat collapses when those foods carry residues of antibiotics, steroid hormones, synthetic preservatives, arsenicals, cocciodiostats, and pesticides. Many of these toxins accumulate precisely in the fats and organs being celebrated as nutrient rich.

The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem released a comprehensive report on July 27 describing the Israeli war on Gaza as genocide. However, the delay in publishing such an indictment is troubling and adds to an existing problem of politically motivated decision-making processes that have, in their own right, prolonged the ongoing Israeli war crimes.

 The report accused Israel of committing genocide, a conclusion reached after a detailed analysis of the military campaign’s intent, the systematic destruction of civilian life, and the government-engineered famine. This finding is significant because it adds to the massive body of legal and testimonial evidence affirming the Palestinian position that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute a genocide.

Why are so many Americans, especially young ones, depressed, bipolar, overweight, gender-stressed and "on the spectrum"?

Explanations range from endocrine disrupters, forever chemicals and plastics in the environment and food to electromagnetic fields from cell phones and microwaves to helicopter parents. That's before we get to Covid's forced 5-year social isolation and fetal and childhood exposure to prescription drugs. (For example, SSRI antidepressants contribute to bipolar diagnoses according to some research).

"A starving 5-year-old Amir walked 12 kilometers to collect food at the food distribution center in Rafah run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and it is heartbreaking. He approached me and took a bag, but he had nothing to put in it.

Then Amir extended his hand, and I thought he wanted more aid. I extended mine to him and he kissed it and said, "Thank you."

I looked at this little boy, barefoot, starving, barely clothed, and said, 'Someone cares for you?'

I was kneeling on my knees, and Amir approached me, held my head in his thin, dusty hands, and said, "Thank you." He then left, carrying the small amount of food he had taken from me.

Moments later, the Israeli army opened fire on the hungry crowds who had come to collect the food, and they fell in front of me one by one. Among those whose bodies were pierced and killed by bullets was this child, Ameer."

The above statement is a testimony by a US eyewitness The Resonance. He is a retired Lt. Col. who was serving as a contractor with Gaza Humanitarian Fund in Rafah.
