04/20/2024: Two weeks ago, Elizabeth presented information that pointed to mRNA vaccines given to chickens, have made the leap to cows. Now comes a highly-promoted story in the LA Times that points the blame on a product called “poultry litter” that is commonly used in commercial farm operations. While it’s indeed disgusting that this “stuff” is being fed to the cows, what’s even more disturbing is the fact that the story seemingly dismisses any other cause for avian flu making the highly unlikely natural jump to cows. Plus, poultry litter has been used for years without any cases of bird flu moving to cows. It’s too coincidental that the flu jumped from birds to cows not long after the recently-introduced mRNA avian vaccines. There are no coincidences, and are developing a mistrust of the media.

After her Food News and Servers Revenge, Elizabeth looks at how Avian Bird Flu has made the jump to BOTH cows and humans. This is the very definition of “gain of function” and why she’s been warning about the entire flawed GMO concept for years. As we grew closer to the time when the moon crosses the past of the sun, our taste test came from the archives, and you’ll hear about a food product that should be in your emergency food pantry… Vienna Sausages!

02/10/2024: There’s a big football game being played in Las Vegas on Sunday, so Elizabeth has a list of “Food Tours” that should be on your Bucket List. As we saw with the conviction and incarceration of the head of Peanut Corporation of America, corporate executives who knowingly sell contaminated foods can be dealt with severely. Elizabeth asks the question, should restaurant chefs be held responsible for creating menu items containing food products that are unsafe? In the travel hour, a very troubling story that we are watching closely. Shortly after takeoff, an airline passenger began bleeding from his mouth and nose, and continued until he died in his seat. None of the other passengers on the plane were isolated, but instead, were allowed to continue on their journeys while a cause of death was determined.

In the food hour of the show, you’ll hear about a mystery substance that may or may not be used as a food additive, or may or may not be used in the food production process as a flavor enhancer. We don’t know because we can’t get a straight answer! It’s as if it’s use is intentionally being obfuscated. HEK 293 is reportedly from the cell line of an aborted fetus from the early 1970’s. Setting aside the horrific moral and legal issues, is it possible that human cells are being inserted into the foods we eat to enhance the flavor? In the travel hour, over the past three years, we’ve presented a feature called “Airline Debacles” where we’ve documented some of the weird incidents on planes and airports and they almost always end with the arrest of individuals involved and their placement on the airline’s/government’s “NO FLY LIST.” What we’ve witnessed is the “Weaponization of the No Fly List,” and the advancements of the so-called Justice Department’s selective enforcement of the law. In her Destination Unknown Segment, Elizabeth takes us to the Winchester Mystery Mansion in San Jose, California.

01/13/2024: For the past few years, we’ve heard the saying, “watch the water,” and the more we look at what’s in the water, the more concerned we’ve become. After an update on the latest food news, Elizabeth shares some recent information that’s emerged regarding the public drinking water. You’ll hear what’s being done here and in the UK, and once again, it seems humanity is being used as test subjects for some very disturbing experiments. With all the turmoil in the world, Elizabeth shares a list of foods may be more difficult to find in 2024, and our taste test zeros in on sugar wafer cookies. In the travel hour, Elizabeth has the latest travel news (and winter warnings) and our RV Tips includes a list places you can visit in January. Then you’ll hear how, with the new technology in the airports, it may indeed be possible to predict which airline passengers may become “unruly” and Elizabeth talks about changes in the travel industry and how it’s become increasingly more difficult to get a refund when vacation plans change. Finally, Elizabeth takes us to South Florida where a jilted man spent his life creating a stone tribute to the young woman who broke his heart.
01/08/2024: Once again, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack’s armed thugs have invaded and raided an Amish farm, confiscating and destroying food products and trampling of the religious liberties of an Amish community that just wants to be left alone. Elizabeth says it’s time for this to STOP! In this show, you’ll also hear how sunscreen may not be healthy for you and how people are taking advantage of the kindness of strangers to steal from grocery stores. Our Taste Test this week looks at those $1 hot sauces now available in big box stores, and Elizabeth takes us to the Top 10 Cities around the world ranked on their amazing food offerings.
01/01/2024: While others were sleeping off the News Years Eve fireworks, we brought you the first show of the new year. Elizabeth has a troubling story about “zee bugs” and why bug-based food products being forced upon us are actually very dangerous, and how the exoskeleton of the insects could poison some of us. Elizabeth has and interesting take on those white trails in the sky, and how the consequences could be far worse. We’re not being told something big is happening in regards to the weather, you can feel it! In our airline debacles, the story of how an airlines took a six year old boy to the wrong airport, and because of the events of our taste test exactly one year ago, (champagne) this year as 2023 ends in the history books and we begin 2024, the champagne is non-alcoholic! Let’s have a safe 2024.
