Did Trump Rat Out Epstein to the FBI to Hide a Russian Money Laundering Scheme? Scott Carney 2025-09-10 | This revelation is a whole lot worse for Trump than he thinks it is. The recent release of 33,000 new(ish) Jeffrey Epstein files has brought renewed attention to the disgraced financier. But what if the real story isn't about Epstein, but about his alleged former friend, Donald Trump? Indeed, this is exactly what Speaker of the House Mike Johnson stated to reporters this week when he announced that Trump had been an FBI informant to save himself from being exposed in a money laundering scheme.Download the DOJ Release here: oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-epstein-records-provided-by-the-department-of-justiceAlt Titles:Was Donald Trump an FBI Informant?

The True Story of The Secret Army PSYOPs Agent Who Invented Modern Marketing | Edward Bernays Scott Carney 2025-09-09 | This is the story of Edward Bernays, an evil genius who used the techniques of wartime propaganda to invent modern marketing. If you've ever seen an influencer touting a product, considered that a country might stage a false flag operation, or heard that smoking could help you lose weight, you’ve been living in Bernays' world all along.Bernays began his career as a PR man for the U.S. Army during World War I. His job was to convince an isolationist American public that self-sacrifice was their patriotic duty. The key insight that made his work so effective was that he connected actions to a person's desire to feel a certain way, not just to a need.After the war, he brought this key insight to the private sector and fundamentally changed the world.If any of this sounds familiar, you might remember me mentioning Bernay’s legacy in my video about Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty—where I took a brief detour into the history behind their manipulative techniques.Related LinksMel Robbins and Jay Shetty are Evil Geniuses youtube.com/watch?v=-VFa7AVis7EThe Century of Self: youtube.com/watch?v=DnPmg0R1M04Herbert Marcuse "One -Dimensional Man" amzn.to/4pgddo8Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social #marketing #bernays #scam©PokeyBear LLC (2024)

Death by Copyright Strike: How Conmen and Liars Killed YouTube Scott Carney 2025-08-19 | Wim Hof apparently thinks that only fraud will save him. And, truth be told, he’s probably right because the truth is damning. On Monday I got an email from YouTube explaining that my recent video “The Sinister Truth about Wim Hof” - which explained about a spate of deaths related to his reaching practices had been taken down because Wim’s organization had filed a copyright claim against it. The claim indicates that a 4 second clip I showed of Hof dangerously hyperventilating in water was a violation of his intellectual property, and not fair use in the public interest (even though he knows it was). By doing so they have been able to remove the story from circulation and ensured that that it won’t reach the people whose lives it could save. This is the tenth fraudulent copyright strike that he has filed against my channel over the last seven years and I’ve finally had enough. In this week’s video I explain how Wim Hof and other bad actors have weaponized YouTube’s copyright moderation system and twisted it into a way to censor journalism in the public interest. This isn’t only a video about my small fight with a cult-like breathwork and ice organization, but an endemic problem across the YouTube ecosystem. Because if YouTube continues to fail to enforce its own terms of service, then journalists might as well not even bother posting their reports there anymore. Please forward this message to YouTube Creators on every platform you are on so they can fix their system this before it’s too late. #copyright #fraud #wimhof #copyrightstrikeGet Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)
Trump and Epstein: The Cover-up Is WORSE than You Thought Scott Carney 2025-08-12 | You already know something about the relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. The story has come your way in countless short clips, tweets, social media posts and YouTube videos. There’s so much information about the two of them that it’s easy to lose the big picture in the onslaught of constant updates. So, over the last two weeks I combed over hundreds of documents and videos and put together a comprehensive dossier on the President’s relationship with the most notorious sex trafficker in history. #epsteincase #epsteinlist #trump Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)
The Sinister Truth About Wim Hof Scott Carney 2025-07-29 | This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn’t Kill Us is officially for sale and I’d love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free).I’m setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it’s just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I’ve collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members’ died following Wim’s instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I’m putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof’s story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.Official Book Page: scottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usAudible: audible.com/pd/B01N5NNZF8/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-077506&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_077506_rh_usAmazon: amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1635652413/?tag=Foxtopus-20Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social #wimhof #breathwork #cult©PokeyBear LLC (2024)

Yes, Theres Evidence Trump Hacked the 2024 Election Scott Carney 2025-07-15 | On November 13, 2024 a group of seven election security experts wrote a letter to Kamala Harris that began with this line “We write to alert you to serious election security breaches that have threatened the security and integrity of the 2024 elections.” They outlined known vulnerabilities in election machinery, documented instances where Republican operatives obtained copies of election software that Dominion Voting admitted would cause “irreparable damage” to the “election security interests of the country.” They urged Harris to challenge the narrow election wins in swing states and demand recounts and statistical verification of the results.Kamala Harris did not respond. Instead, during her concession speech she insisted that “we must accept the results of this election.” For someone who called Trump a “fascist” on the campaign trail, who had a career as a district attorney putting hardened criminals in jail and who frequently called out Trump’s propensity to lie, Harris’s unwillingness to believe that Trump could have put his finger on the scales was nothing less than a dereliction of duty. Indeed, just a few days later Trump seemed to admit to election interference when he congratulated Elon Musk’s knowledge of “vote counting computers” for his win in Pennsylvania. A few weeks later while meeting officials FIFA, Trump intimated his involvement a second time, saying: “They rigged the election and I won.”In this week’s video I argue that Trump had the means, the motive and the opportunity to fix the 2024 election to his favor. The only question is whether or not he actually pulled the trigger on the plan.#electionsecurity #2024elections #rigged Source LinksDuncan Buell FULL INTERVIEW: youtu.be/Iz0jW5oxYGUElection Truth Alliance: electiontruthalliance.orgWalter Mebane Pennsylvania Report: https://websites.umich.edu/~wmebane/PA2024.pdfCommon Coalition : thecommoncoalition.comSmartElections: smartelections.usAlex Halder Senate Testimony: intelligence.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/sites-default-files-documents-os-ahalderman-062117.pdfTRUMP Quotes: "They Rigged the Election and I won" youtu.be/NqVhbFadRAw?t=97"Thank you Elon:: politico.com/video/2025/01/20/trump-elon-musk-knows-those-vote-counting-computers-1496478Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)

Palantirs Kill Chain and the Dark Side of Artificial Intelligence Scott Carney 2025-06-24 | When I started working on this video about Palantir, I didn’t expect that it would make me want to have a panic attack. Then again, maybe panic is the appropriate response to learning that an artificial intelligence and surveillance company is actively collecting data on every American citizen in order to establish a technological dystopia.CORRECTION: I confused and conflated the ideologies "Effective Altruism" and "Effective Accelerationism" throughout this piece. Effective Accelerationism is what Thiel and Palantir subscribe to which advocates for the reckless progress of technology above all else. "Effective Altruism" is closer to utilitarianism and more benign.

The Junk Science of Athletic Greens (AG1) Scott Carney 2025-05-27 | A year ago I exposed the criminal past of the founder of AG1. Now we're going to talk about the science.Check out Alexis Léveillé's instagram post:instagram.com/p/DJ7SWK6vmyU/?img_index=1And subscribe to @nobullshitphysio instagram.com/nobullshitphysioAthletic Greens is a green supplement powder that claims to meet “all your nutritional needs” with a daily $3 slurry of vitamins and adaptogenic buzzwords. If you’ve listened to just about any health-forward podcast in the last ten years, you’ve no doubt heard of it. And, if you’ve been following this channel for a while you probably also know that last year I exposed the criminal past of the founder who founded the company after we fled New Zealand for running a real estate scam. A few months after that report came out Chris Ashenden stepped down from his role as CEO. I also heard through the grapevine that they lost $45 million in subscription revenue because of my report.Even so, AG1 continues to be one of the most prominent financial backers of grifty podcasters — from Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia to Rich Roll and Tim Ferris. They offer lucrative sponsorship opportunities to anyone who is willing to repeat their health claims with a straight face.Part of their pitch is that unlike other supplement powders, they have actual science backing them up. While my earlier report posited the idea that you can judge the character of a company by the character of its founder, many people wrote to me that all they really cared about was whether or not AG1 actually works. They wanted to hear the science.Last week Alexis Maxence Léveillé (who goes by NoBullshitPhysio in Instagram) reached out to me saying that he had a scoop about AG1’s scientific integrity and asked me to collaborate. We have spent the last few days combing through scientific studies, interviewing scientists and talking with representatives over at AG1.And, I have to say, we sort of found a bombshell hidden in plain sight in their academic research.In the video above we examine AG1’s claims up close and report that they knowingly use an active placebo called maltodextrin as the baseline to determine if AG1 actually works. It’s true that many microbiome studies also have used maltodextrin in the past, research that they cite from 2022 proves that maltodextrin actually harms gut health. While they could have simply used inert water as a baseline, they specifically chose to use a placebo that would inherently make their supplement line look better.Even with their home-team advantage, the only published study on humans they have in their lineup actually showed no substantial difference between maltodextrin and AG1. In other words: despite claiming great things on their website, it was pretty much a wash.But wait, it gets even weirder.Once I reached out to AG1’s PR team and their entire slate of scientists, the research page began to morph in real time. They started posting about upcoming publications that haven’t been peer reviewed or published, and vastly expanded their section on research ethics.There’s a lot more to the story, but I don’t want to ruin your enjoyment of the video I have posted above.Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social #ag1 #hubermanlab #peterattia ©PokeyBear LLC (2025)

Aum Shinrikyo’s Secret Plan to Destroy the World Scott Carney 2025-04-29 | In March 1995 members of a doomsday cult released sarin nerve gas on subway lines all across Tokyo killing 13, and injuring more than 1,000 others. Shoko Asahara, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo, taught that an apocalypse would return the world to a pristine state. This end-times ideology eerily mirrored the accelerationist beliefs of the present day technological elites who aim to break down present day economic and social systems to establish a techno-futurist New World Order.Aum Shinrikyo is a cautionary tale of how far independent religious organizations can go to carry out destructive ends. Still, few people know how far the group was really willing to go. Over the course of several years the group raised more than a billion dollars, recruited biological, chemical and nuclear scientists and set them to work developing truly catastrophic plans. They bought a ranch in the Australian outback dedicated to weapons testing. They eventually accumulated thousands of tons of both Sarin and VX. They used the gas in both subway attacks and in targeted murders.While those details are well-known, there is evidence to suggest that Asahara was working on even bigger plans — ones that seemed to be pulled right out of the pages of science fiction. In the early 1990s Aum Shinrikyo sent emissaries into the former Soviet Union to train their group with discarded military weaponry. Intelligence analysis reported that they also made efforts to acquire several of the hundred suitcase sized nuclear weapons that disappeared after the fall of the Berlin wall. The plan may have been to turn the device into a seismic weapons that would set off a cataclysmic earthquake in Japan which, they believed, would also begin the world down the path of nuclear war.In the video above I discuss the evidence, history and science behind tectonic weapons and show how Aum Shinrikyo was probably trying to make one work.While the world ultimately didn’t end, Aum Shinrikyo’s tactics and capabilities need to remain at the front of our mind. The barriers to creating world-ending technologies through gene-editing, autonomous drones, nuclear weaponry and biological agents get lower every year. As more groups adopt extreme ideologies it is easier than ever to find one who might take the next step.#cult #accelrationism #prophecy #aumshinrikyoGet Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)

Why Did the Supreme Court Legalize Wellness Scams? Scott Carney 2025-04-08 | Why does the American legal system protect scammers? Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyLeah Sottile'sThe Blazing Eye See's All amzn.to/42jdmfSIn 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that laid the foundation for religious scammers to raise unfathomable fortunes through fraud. The ruling effectively gave religious leaders the legal right to sell miracle cures, supernatural services, and snake oil remedies under the protective umbrella of "sincerely held beliefs."Fast forward 80 years, and that same legal precedent has helped fuel a booming industry of wellness influencers, spiritual gurus, and multi-level marketing schemes. Today, they crowd our social media feeds, promising divine transformations and quantum healing—if only you’ll click “subscribe.”But how did we get here?Let’s rewind to the 1930s. Guy and Edna Ballard founded a spiritual movement known as the I AM Activity, a cult-like group that claimed contact with “Ascended Masters”—mythical beings said to congregate inside Mt. Shasta. The Ballards preached that you could heal anything, even incurable diseases, through the power of positive thinking and divine energy.Their product lineup included things like the "violet ray" device, marketed as a miracle cure for everything from blindness to cancer. And followers didn’t just donate money—they offered what the Ballards called “I AM love gifts”. The couple got rich. Really rich. We’re talking luxury cars, jewel-draped outfits, and a mansion in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park.I found out about the Ballard case though investigative journalist , whose book The Blazing Eye Sees All described how the Ballards built a massive mail-order empire rooted in belief-based commerce. The Department of Justice, however, wasn’t buying it. They charged the Ballards with fraud, citing 18 specific cases where the couple made false medical claims.But here’s the twist.When the case reached the Supreme Court, the majority ruled that the truth or falsity of religious beliefs was not for the courts to decide. The only legal question was whether the Ballards “sincerely” believed what they were preaching. If they did, they were protected under the First Amendment—even if what they sold was utter nonsense.Books:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social #joedispenza #ramtha #scams #wellness ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)

Does Testosterone Fix EVERYTHING? Scott Carney 2025-03-25 | Testosterone is Gender-Affirming Care for Alpha Males.If there is one thing that just about every social media influencer in the manosphere agrees on it’s that you’re testosterone levels are too low. According to their chorus of voices, the hormone will improve your sex life, increase your confidence and just plain make you feel like a badass. While that is no-doubt that testosterone replacement therapy can work miracles in true cases of clinical deficiency, commercial compounding pharmacies, influencers and even Big Pharma itself are responsible for an over-prescription epidemic that is leading to severe health consequences across the country. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, 6 out of 7 online commercial pharmacies are willing to prescribe testosterone supplementation to men with normal levels of the hormone. Today the testosterone industry raked in more than $400 million a year.The consequences can be dire. The side effects of too much testosterone can lead to fertility problems, hypogonadism (shrunken balls), blood clots, heart disease and, important for the purposes of this report, mania and depression.While endocrinologists an medical experts like Karl Nadolsky and Dr. Jen Gunter are warning the world about the medical consequences over-prescription of hormonal treatments, there’s an equally pressing sociological problem that comes hand-in-hand with the mass distribution of mood-affecting pharmaceuticals.Research suggests that high testosterone levels are linked to aggression in men. In particular, several teams have found that high testosterone that the outcome isn’t physical violence, rather the expression of dominance in social hierarchies. The neuroscientist in the latter article Charles Eisenegger wrote “testosterone promotes status-seeking and social dominance motives, and thus plays an important role in social status hierarchies.”#testosterone #TRT #alpha #joerogan Get Early Access on Substacksgcarney.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/joinPatreon: patreon.com/sgcarneyScott Carney Investigates Podcastscottcarney.com/podcastYouTube youtube.com/@sgcarneyBooks:The Wedge scottcarney.com/the-wedgeWhat Doesn't Kill Usscottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usThe Enlightenment Trapscottcarney.com/the-enlightenment-trapThe Vortexscottcarney.com/the-vortexThe Red Marketscottcarney.com/the-red-marketListen to the Scott Carney Investigates Podcast on:YouTubeyoutube.com/playlist?list=PL2TVEkr1lWIJp6zZijbuZE8xTn5Edur-7Apple:podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scott-carney-investigates/id1675685319Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/5Eez65bpNJSDLCYQb7yck5Anchor:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/12a9Xdpn6ybSocial Media:Threads: threads.net/@sgcarneyInstagram instagram.com/sgcarneyFacebook facebook.com/scottcarneyauthorTwitter twitter.com/sgcarneyBluesky https://staging.bsky.app/profile/sgcarney.bsky.social ©PokeyBear LLC (2024)
