Typhoid Fever, Typhus & Tuberculosis: Are L.A.'s Medieval Diseases Coming To Your City?

Typhoid Fever, Typhus & Tuberculosis: Are L.A.'s Medieval Diseases Coming To Your City?:

Los Angeles has a growing problem with diseases borne by both flea and feces. An LAPD officer was just diagnosed with typhoid fever along with two more from the same workplace displaying symptoms. Meanwhile, cases of typhus, caused by a different bacterium, have soared in California from 13 in 2008 to 167 in 2018. In addition, there have been outbreaks of hepatitis A, tuberculosis, and staph in L.A. and other West Coast cities.
Why is this happening—and will spread to other cities?

Maine’s Adoption of Physician-Assisted Suicide Accelerates an Ominous Trend | The Heritage Foundation

Maine’s Adoption of Physician-Assisted Suicide Accelerates an Ominous Trend | The Heritage Foundation:

When physician-assisted suicide is an option, there are fewer incentives to pursue ethical alternatives in end-of-life care. Physician-assisted suicide is not just a threat to individual patients. It is like Pandora’s Box: Once it’s open, it’s nearly impossible to contain its negative effects. Once our culture grants the premise of physician-assisted suicide—that some lives are more valuable than others—we begin our descent down a slippery slope. Other countries that have legalized physician-assisted suicide paint a dreary picture.

Infrasound: A Growing Liability for Wind Power - Master Resource

Infrasound: A Growing Liability for Wind Power - Master Resource

More than just audible sound, grinding, whomping, blade pass whooshes, an ever-present hum, industrial wind turbines have a silent, below audible impact. It is not like a day contamination/harm at work where people can go home at night for relief. With industrial wind projects literally engulfing homes and rural areas, there is little or no escape.

Wind turbines appear to be at the apex of producing human discomfort, annoyance, and harm. 

In particular, infrasound and low-frequency noise(ILFN) harm because of impacts unique to this concoction of noise...

Curt Devlin, of Fairhaven Mass., writes about wind turbines, and the right to be free from “unwanted experimentation”:

“This (the taking of profits) is why the global wind industry has strategically and systematically sought to silence wind turbine hosts and neighbors with property buy-outs and non-disclosure agreements. Undoubtedly, this is also why they and those who support them have publicly targeted acoustic engineers, health practitioners, and public health experts who have attempted to expose this truth in accordance with their canons of professional ethics. This industry subjects legitimate science to ridicule, its authors to character assassination, and its sleepless victims to blame and aspersions of mental defect. All of this is done to cloak conscious criminal cruelty in the name of unbridled greed.”

With zero societal, economic, or environmental benefits, and irreparable harm of every kind, it is time to talk disarmament, even reparation. And greens supporting wind power must let bygones be bygones and check their premises. Wind turbine energy, government-enabled, is the worst kind of energy."

This Striking Climate Change Visualisation Is Now Customisable for Any Place on Earth-By Brian Kahn

"When University of Reading climate scientist released his warming stripes visualisation for the globe last year, people freaked (in a good way). 

The minimalist graphic stripped out unnecessary clutter and told the story of global warming in blue and red stripes.

On Monday, Hawkings released a new website that allows users to create warming stripes for nearly every country, and even some cities and US states..."

Driver's license trick to result in seizing your guns? - WND

Driver's license trick to result in seizing your guns? - WND:

Swalwell, who earlier invoked the government’s nuclear weapons to threaten those who would resist gun-confiscation programs, said, “If you need a license to operate a vehicle, shouldn’t you need a license to operate a weapon?”
Twitter user Hector Vargas argued that he already has a license.
He portrayed an image of the U.S. Constitution.
Twitter user Reagan Battalion joined in with, “We have a license, it’s called the Constitution of the United States of America.”

Oh Deer – Reason.com:

• 30 million of Bambi's buddies are on the loose in the U.S., causing crop damage and car accidents. Markets can help.

"...By 1900, the white-tailed deer population in the United States had plummeted to 500,000. 
Now there are perhaps 30 million roaming our continent, where they trample crops, pick over gardens, and bound across highways. 
Every year, deer and their ilk are involved in more than a million vehicle collisions, causing dozens of fatalities and costing billions of dollars.
...There are many exceptions beyond furs, including hides and meat from alligators, wild seafood, and numerous imported products. 
So while you can wear a beaver felt hat, buy a wallet made from American alligator leather, or eat Pacific yellowfin tuna, you won't find wild venison at a U.S. grocery store. 
(Hunters can give meat to friends or donate it to charities, but it remains illegal to sell wild game in most states. If you find venison at a supermarket or restaurant, it's probably farm-raised red deer from New Zealand.)
Legal markets for venison might not solve deer population problems entirely, but they could be a tool to align incentives better and help fund culls..."
