In most of the 19th century, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity were rare and obscure and not common at all. You were about as likely to get the above conditions as you were to be struck by lightning.

Beginning in the late 19th century, that all began to change. All of the above disease began to increase to where we are today. Today they are the principle driver of disease and death, with incidences rising many thousands of percent…

So what happened…? The Industrial revolution happened…

One of the waste products of the IR was seed oils like corn, canola(rapeseed) cottonseed, etc.

As capitalism does, it managed to re-purpose these waste oils into food. Extracted with steam and hexane and then bleached and oxidized to not taste disgusting, corporations made it into the food supply.

Every cell wall in your body is largely built of lipids (fats), as is a majority of your brain. The promotion of highly oxidative seed oils is akin building your bodies fundamental structure as if building a bridge from highly rusted steel. Bad things happen…

There is a direct correlation between the rise in seed oil consumption over that years and chronic disease and death. This needs to be more widely known.

Here is Dr. Chris Knobbe with an excellent video diving into the data…

Army Ammunition Plant Is Tied to Mass Shootings Across the U.S...

This I did not know at ALL, and I will try to stay within fair use…

Christopher Hixon, a 27-year veteran of the Navy who served in the Persian Gulf, trained with government ammunition that typically had a distinctive “LC” marking on its brass casings.

In 2018, Mr. Hixon, then the athletic director at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., confronted a former student firing an AR-15-style gun. The semiautomatic rifle, modeled on a military weapon, was loaded with ammunition carrying the same “LC” stamp.

Mr. Hixon took a bullet in a thigh. Two more hit him in the chest. In the bloodstained hallway where he died, investigators found a brass casing. And another. By the end of their search, they had collected 84 from across the school — each marked “LC.”

The initials stand for the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. Built during World War II, the federal site, in Independence, Mo., has made nearly all the rifle cartridges used by the U.S. military since it pulled out of Vietnam.

In recent years, the factory has also pumped billions of rounds of military-grade ammunition into the commercial market, an investigation by The New York Times found, leaving the “LC” signature scattered across crime scenes, including the sites of some of the nation’s most heinous mass shootings.

The plant, operated by a private contractor with Army oversight, is now one of the country’s biggest manufacturers of commercial rounds for the popular AR-15, and it remains so even as the United States supplies ammunition to Ukraine.

It is a very well done piece of journalism done by the NY Times (More on that later)…

Starting in 2012 with the massacre of 12 people at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., the rounds have been tied to at least a dozen mass shootings involving AR-15-style guns, including at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a FedEx warehouse in Indianapolis — and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The authorities in Lewiston, Maine, declined to release ballistic information about the mass shooting there last month that resulted in 18 deaths. [Read a full list of the 12 shootings in this article’s takeaways.]

Yes it is the NYT, but I will leave a key below in the comments that will open a lot of doors in a lot of w@lls...

There is a new company, with new technology that they say can possibly drill down to 20Km.

Why is this important? It’s very hot down there, 500C, hotter than a nuclear reactor and certainly much cleaner. There is all of the energy that the planet needs down there.

IMO, the idea is to use extremely high frequency radio waves to melt the wall of the borehole into a sort of volcanic glass obviating the need to use traditional methods to make a very very long casing underground…

Worth a look…

The GQP as Covid Vaccine Freeloaders, projection and moral decay

The Republicans are always projecting their moral rot on others.

We didn’t win the election, it must have been rigged. That’s what they would do.

Those people will stay on unemployment and not be productive. That’s what they would do.

All politicians are corrupt and on the take. That’s what they would do.

BLM and Antifa are violent and dangerous. That’s what they would do.

It goes on and on and leads to a you tube video by Beau of the fifth column that has a unique insight into GQP talking points about freeloaders. They are not talking about us, they are talking about themselves.

Because, that’s what they would do…

His whole family will have to change their name, after they get out of prison...

The Republicans consider this virus a joke. It’s unbelievable, that they have hitched their fate onto the lie that this virus is just a cold. They are so wrong about this , totally devoid of rational thought…

When the deaths start piling up and only the truly nuts still think everything is OK, we may have a teachable moment. When it becomes obvious to everyone but the most brain dead cretin that the Republicans were wrong about this virus, we can also point out that they are just as wrong about everything else.

Wrong about healthcare, taxes, inequality, economics, women’s equality and healthcare, environment, global warming. The list is endless.

The unspeakable tragedy that is about to unfold may also finally show that voting for the Republicans is also wrong...

Just went to the supermarket. The majority finally realize that Trump is an imbecile.

I think we are at a turning point here.

I just went to the supermarket and saw hundreds of people in quiet desperation stocking up for disaster. Shopping carts full of toilet paper, bottled water, and food. Many people looked worried.

At the checkout, a cashier remarked that it had been crazy busy all day and asked, “Why today”?

Well,Trump’s address happened along with the stock market opening limit down, again. People now realize that we are devoid of leadership. The majority have seen Trump and the market speak and now conclude that he is a complete utter moron...
