NBC Report: Forgotten Studies Link Implantable RFID Microchips to Higher Rates of Cancer

Nick Meyer at AltHealthWorks.com - 1 minute ago
As modern technology continues to develop at a rapid pace, many people wonder whether these new “advances” will be adequately tested for safety, or simply rushed or prodded along to market for the sake of keeping shareholders and investors happy. One of the most controversial new technologies of all is human microchipping, which has long been hinted at as a possibility in national news reports and is the subject of a controversial new bill. The bill, which recently passed the U.S. House (more info here) could lead to microchipping of people with disabilities, including the growi... more »

Where the Supreme Court went wrong in today's Wisconsin election decision (I think)

Marty Lederman at Balkinization - 8 minutes ago
If I'm not mistaken, the Supreme Court just stayed a provision of a district court preliminary injunction *that* *does not exist*, and in so doing imposed a restraint on the franchise of Wisconsin voters that Wisconsin law itself doesn't require. At least that's how I read the Court's decision, together with the underlying Wisconsin law. [I am, of course, far from being an expert on Wisconsin voting procedures. If others more learned than I bring additional considerations or contrary authorities to my attention, I'll be happy to revise my mistakes or retract the criticism below.] ... more »

"The New and Improved Propaganda"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 2 hours ago
*"The New and Improved Propaganda"* by Jeff Thomas "Adolf Hitler and his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, took great pride in their campaign to instill fear in the German people between 1933 and 1945. They understood that the strongest and most renewable emotion in mankind is fear, and that, once a people have been won over by fear, there’s very little that you can’t get them to do. To provide a focus for fear, a demon is necessary. Ideally, the people already fear a demon of some sort. If so, this demon should be co-opted and the fear magnified.

CDC Tells Hospitals To List COVID as Cause of Death Even if There are No Test Results Confirming it

Admin at Health Impact News - 3 hours ago
The problem with making informed decisions about coronavirus is that we don’t have a whole lot of data on it at the moment. The data that we do have, meanwhile, could end up being terminally skewed, particularly the data that’s been coming out of China. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance on determining COVID-19 as a cause of death isn’t going to help those numbers. Issued March 24, the guidance tells hospitals to list COVID-19 as a cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case.

"'Understand This!' - Ponzi Schemes Don't Bounce-Back"

*"'Understand This!' -* * Ponzi Schemes Don't Bounce-Back"* by Jim Kunstler "You understand, there will be no meaningful resuscitation of the dear, departed, so-called greatest boom in history. Ponzi schemes don’t “bounce back,” they collapse for the simple reason that the pieces holding them up were not really there. Such are the unanticipated consequences of a media over-saturated culture that we were so easily deceived by appearances. The emotions entrained by this implacable disaster have barely expressed themselves in the social arena. The public is still too shell-shocked by ... more »

"Find Meaning..."

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 5 hours ago
"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn't have to be a walk during which you'll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and s... more »

Between January 20... more »
