Psalm 91 and Operation Desert Shield: The Prophecy of Divine Protection

Psalm 91 is often called the Soldier’s Psalm due to its powerful imagery of divine protection in times of war. It speaks of a “shield” and a “fortress,” which directly parallels Operation Desert Shield (1990-1991)—the defensive phase of the Gulf War, where U.S.-led coalition forces protected Saudi Arabia from Iraqi invasion.

Key Connections:

Verse 4:“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
- Just as the coalition forces shielded the Gulf nations, this verse describes divine protection, ensuring safety for those who seek refuge.
Verse 7:“A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.”
- This reflects the overwhelming firepower and strategic advantage of the coalition forces, where superior air and missile defenses ensured minimal casualties compared to the Iraqi losses.
Verse 11-12:“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
- This is often interpreted as divine intervention during warfare, much like the coalition’s advanced technology and precision strikes ensuring minimal loss of life on their side.

Psalm 92 and the Wealth of Oil: The Prophecy of Abundance

Psalm 92, while a song of praise, contains powerful imagery of prosperity, strength, and divine favor, which many interpret as a foreshadowing of rich oil fields in the Middle East and the geopolitical struggles surrounding them.

Key Connections:

Verse 10:“But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.”
- In biblical terms, oil represents blessing and power. Today, the wealth and strategic importance of oil have defined the region’s political landscape, making it a “horn of strength” for nations rich in crude oil.
Verse 12-14:“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon… They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.”
- The oil-rich nations, especially those in the Gulf, have transformed deserts into global economic powerhouses, growing in wealth over centuries.
Verse 15:“Proclaiming, ‘The Lord is upright; He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.’”
- Some see this as a warning—while oil has brought immense prosperity, it has also fueled greed, conflict, and corruption. The true foundation should be divine wisdom, not just material wealth.

Modern Implications: The Shield and the Oil

Operation Desert Shield (Psalm 91) represented protection and military might, ensuring stability in the region.
The Middle East’s oil wealth (Psalm 92) has been a source of power and conflict, an anointing that comes with responsibility.

This biblical framing suggests that while nations rely on weapons for protection and oil for wealth, true security and prosperity come only from divine wisdom and justice.

The Truth Behind Cigarettes

Featured

Posted on April 9, 2022 by Kamran

“the truth is, it isn’t the nicotine and tobacco that’s killin’ you in cigarettes, it’s refined sucrose, mistakenly called white sugar”
— M’Bwebe Aja Ishangi

Have you seen the commercialz put out by the website company, truth.com, where they have people droppin’ off body bagz at tobacco industries?

They claim the addiction nicotine has on smokerz are responsible for the over 400,000 annual deaths in America. After researching cigarettes, it seemz the truth.com isn’t tellin’ you the whole truth!

The food processing industry is the biggest sugar customer, putting as much as 50% in processed food. What’s shockin’ to know is filling the #2 slot is the tobacco industry. The Surgeon General has commissioned all cigarette manufacturerz are required to tell you on the cigarette box that smoking is hazardous to your health, but they are not required to tell you any further info. In fact, cigarettes is probably the only substance that does not print it’s ingredients on the box! Most have been misled to believe it’s only made of tar, nicotine and filterz, but they do not tell you about the tobacco.

The history of tobacco didn’t start until after Columbus got lost and landed in the America’s. The Red man had
been blowin’ peace pipes for centuries before their encounter with melanin impaired. The tobacco plant wasn’t brought to Europe until 1558, by the spanish physician, Jean Nicot, where nicotine is derived from.

According to the March 1973 edition Medical World News, there’s an average of 5-20% sugar that’s added to cigarettes, up to 20% in cigarz and as much as 40% in pipe tobacco, mainly in the form of molasses. The truth is the presence of sugar in cigarettes is the main source of lung cancer, based on experimental studies. This was done by conducting experiments in environments where cigarettes were processed with sugar and landz where they used tobacco that wasn’t laced with this addicting drug.

They found that cigarettes made in Britain have the highest sugar content of any in the world at 17%. American cigarettes came to about 15%, with Russia, China, Formosa and other countries where they’re made from air-dried tobacco – which is the closest to what the Red man smoke – barely had, if any. From this group they were unable to find any cases of lung cancer correlated to smoking.

What was found was that the tremendous excess of sugar and artificial chemicalized animal protein eaten is the link to causing lung cancer. So if you eatin’ meat and smokin’ you’re a sure shot for gettin’ it! This bringz the addiction cigarettes have to a deeper level. Not only are you fightin’ the addiction of the nicotine, you’re also combattin’ the even stronger addiction of refined sucrose (white sugar).

If you are a smoker, or know someone who does, think how many tymz you heard them say they needed to relax so they lit up; or in the morning, as soon as they wake up, they light up; or after a meal, or sex. Then think of how challenging it is/was for them as they tried to kick the habit. Just as with sugar, the longer a person goes without a puff, the more uneasy they become. If they hold out long enuff, they will begin to resemble a crack hed lookin’ for his next hit!

Author of Sugar Blues, William Dufty said, “On the one hand, the government informs us that smoking depletes our systems of certain vitamins. On the other hand, the government assures us we don’t have to worry since the average U.S. diet supplies these essential items in quantity aplenty.” This is where the mind frack beginz, after readin’ the piece, In Sickness & In Health? or Potential Wealth!, you’ll see that the hospital administration along with the Food & Drug Administration has every intention to kill us all slowly through malnutrition.

These industries have ties with the sugar monopoly and tobacco industry and they all realize they can financially
capitalize by givin’ us a slow death by tellin’ us what we should eat, processing these foodz which eliminate the
vitaminz and mineralz our body need to stay healthy, and makin’ it hard to stay away from refined sucrose because of its presence in so many foodz. After we develop problemz over the yearz we then come literally crawling to the local
hospital they pump us with other addictive-slow death drugz, never gettin’ us healthy. Y do you think they take the Hippocratic Oath?! What’s the root word of Hippocratic… Hypocrite!!

This leaves the question as to why the website ‘truth.com’ chooses to not reveal the sugar connection. If you are an avid reader of DGT, you would most likely realize there is literally no company that is prepared to announce a widespread campaign against the sugar industry. Doin’ this would literally cripple the entire econonomy to its core!

It makes me wonder if the ‘truth.com’ is really out to reveal the truth, the whole truth and nothin’ but… nah, if they haven’t by now it’s very clear they intend to keep this a secret!

LIK SHOT!

Advances in Hip Fracture Repair

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Corporal Doss

🦴 Current & Near-Term Clinical Advances in Hip Fracture Care

🩻 Standard Surgical Repair

For most hip fractures, surgeons use hip screws, nails, plates, or hip replacement (arthroplasty) to realign and stabilize the bone. Early surgery — often within 24–48 hours — and multidisciplinary care can reduce complications like pneumonia and blood clots.

🧠 3D Printing in Orthopedics

3D printing (additive manufacturing) is rapidly transforming how surgeons prepare for and perform hip fracture surgeries:

Preoperative planning & implants: Patient-specific 3D printed models of a fractured hip help surgeons visualize complex anatomy and plan cuts or hardware placement more precisely, often shortening surgery time and reducing intraoperative blood loss.
Custom implants & scaffolds: Researchers are developing 3D-printed bone-like scaffolds that match the patient’s unique bone geometry, potentially improving integration with natural bone and reducing rejection.
On-the-spot printing: In experimental settings, surgeons have used handheld 3D printers to deposit bone-like, biodegradable material directly onto fracture sites during surgery, including built-in antibiotic delivery to lower infection risk.

Future directions in 3D printing include combining it with artificial intelligence for optimized, patient-specific designs and printing of tissue scaffolds that encourage bone and blood vessel growth.

🔬 Regenerative & Tissue Engineering Approaches

Beyond hard metal hardware, researchers are looking at biologically active materials:

Biomimetic scaffolds: Nanocomposite and bioceramic structures that mimic bone’s natural architecture can support bone cells to grow into and repair large defects.
Cell-laden bioprinting: Some labs are developing bioprinting where living cells are incorporated into printed constructs designed to become real bone or cartilage over time (mostly in lab or animal studies right now). This is a future direction for more complete tissue regeneration.

These approaches aim not just to stabilize fractures, but to replace or regenerate lost bone and cartilage.

🤖 Nanotechnology & (Future) Nanobot Surgeons

🧬 Nanomedicine in Orthopedics Today

Nanotechnology already plays a role in orthopedics, though not as literal microscopic surgeons — yet. Current nanotech applications include:

Nanoparticles for drug delivery: Targeted delivery of growth factors or antibiotics directly to injury sites to enhance healing or prevent infection.
Nanostructured materials: Implants or scaffolds engineered on the nanoscale to improve strength, bone cell attachment, and integration.

🤖 Nanobots: The Future Frontier

The idea of nanobot surgeons — tiny machines that can enter the body and repair tissues at the cellular level — is currently theoretical and a major research goal, not a clinical reality. But research suggests possible near-future applications:

Minimally invasive repair: Nanorobots could one day navigate through blood vessels to a fracture, diagnose microscopic damage, deposit growth-promoting substances, or help rebuild tissue.
Automated microscopic surgery: In conceptual studies, nanorobots are envisioned that could act semi-autonomously to identify damaged cells and stimulate repair, guided by sensors or external controllers.

These kinds of nanobots could offer precision far beyond traditional tools — operating not just on bone shape but on the molecular and cellular processes of healing — once engineering, safety, and regulatory hurdles are overcome.

🩺 Where Things Are Headed

Trend	Today	Future Potential
Hip fracture stabilization	Surgical fixation, hip replacement	Personalized 3D printed implants & bone scaffolds
Tissue regeneration	Bone grafts, stem cell research	Bioprinted living tissue, engineered bone
Nanotechnology	Drug delivery, nanostructured implants	Targeted nanobot repair & ultrafine surgical tools
Smart implants	Improving fit, strength	Sensors monitoring healing, feedback systems

🧠 Summary

🔹 3D printing is already enhancing fracture surgery with patient-specific planning, custom implants, and in-surgery bone graft printing.
🔹 Nanotechnology is improving drug delivery and implant integration now and laying the groundwork for future therapies.
🔹 Nanobot surgeons, while still in research and conceptual stages, represent a glimpse of next-generation healing tools that could one day operate inside the body to repair fractures at the cellular level.
