In 1969 the FDA commissioner issued a dire warning: The FDA protects the drug companies not the peopleWritten by Jo Nova A reminder that the dark influence of corruption started decades ago: It may have seemed like things went off the rails in the last two years, but it couldn’t have been achieved without fifty years of work. The absurdities just felt like they came out of nowhere. Herbert Ley sounds like a great man. From Wikipedia: His three years at the FDA came during the time when the FDA gr

Facebook will read your personal messages and send them to the FBI if you vote the wrong the wayMark Zuckerberg | Photo by JD Lasica Handy things to know: Someone inside the Department of Justice in the US has talked to the New York Post and says that Facebook spied on Americans who doubted Joe Biden or the election, and gave that information to the FBI “outside due process”.

NetZero takes a hit in the UK — Fracking is on and “could eclipse North Sea Gas”by Jo Nova Good News — Fracking will start in the UK after ten years of absurd delays over bizarre seismic excuses where the fracking industry was supposed to stop if tremors were larger than 0.5 on the Richter scale which meant it never started. A 0.5 level tremor is so small you’d need a Richter scale to even know it occurred. People usually can’t feel shakes of 2.0 or less, and it’s a logarith
Eco Green China is sprayed from a bottleChinese environmental care means spraying grass, trees, rocks oil paint “green” Winston Sterzel (Serpentza) describes how in China people are paid to spray dead grass green, not with fertilizer or seed, but with oil paint.

Political Purges in America, FBI Intimidation, but hope against Woke rises in FloridaThere is a major battle in the US that most media are barely mentioning On the one hand Joe Biden calls political opponents Domestic Terrorists, and delivers speeches flanked with marines.

Climate Change makes People Angrier, so give them a solar panel to hug (it’ll help in 100 years)A new study in the Lancet shows that people don’t get more amiable when temperatures are 42 to 45°C. Apparently hate tweets were lowest at 12 to 21°C but reached a “prevalence of 22%” at the highest temperatures. Lo, verily and ka-ching, it follows that climate change will cause nastier tweets. If we pull on this logic-string, your car exhaust is making people mean, your beef steak causes politic

Vaccine news is so good that California State bans doctors from saying what they thinkAlways get medical advice, but be aware, if your doctor wanted to say something different from what you hear in adverts on TV, they may lose their job, their business, their marriage and their house. Adjust your filters accordingly. Especially if you live in Australia or California.* Presumably Californians are still able to phone up doctors in other states. Soon, they may be able to phone their

People in their 30s and 40s more likely to die in the prime of their lives, and no one knows whyThe pattern is the same in the UK, in Germany and in the US, yet the media can’t seem to figure it out New Scientist:Just 22,500 people who we didn’t expect to lose.
