To the federal government, state governments, irrigation districts and water districts involved with the river, the reservation is a 27, 325 square mile elephant that they aren’t inviting in for a drink.

Bad Pfizer vaccine batches account for 4.2% of doses but 71% of serious or lethal adverse events: Explains why some have severe side effects and others do not. Under Emergency Use Authorization, the vaccine companies and their subcontractors do not have any inspections of the final filled and finished vials. This is unprecedented for a widely used product of any type. It is possible that lipid nanoparticles aggregate in suspension and so some batches may contain more mRNA than others.

Pfizer funded a CDC “behavior change” project that targeted vaccine critics with psyops: The Public Good Projects (PGP), as it is benevolently dubbed, describes itself as a public health non-profit group centered around “large-scale monitoring programs, social and behavior change interventions.” PGP funding came not from lobbyists but directly from vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna. Deviating from the norm of receiving funding from industry lobbyists working on behalf of corporations, PGP’s operating cash came directly from major industry players such as Pfizer and Moderna, both of which have a vested interest in stamping out so-called “vaccine hesitancy.”

‘It’s About Hurting the Poor’: GOP Ramps Up Cruel Push for Work
Requirements: “The legislators that want new work requirements for food stamps and Medicaid are the same ones working to eliminate the estate tax so that billionaire heirs never have to work a day in their lives.” Led by Rep. Matt Gaetz and other far-right members of the House GOP, Republican lawmakers are intensifying their push to establish new work requirements for millions of people who receive Medicaid and federal nutrition assistance, an effort that progressives slammed as a cruel attack on the poor.

Book Banners Are Now Trying to Close Public Libraries: When a judge ordered the Llano County, Texas, library system to return 17 banned books to its shelves, county commissioners debated a radical workaround: closing the entire library system. The removal of 17 books was part of a nationwide campaign to purge libraries of specific books—many related to race, gender, or LGBTQ issues. Some librarians and readers have resisted those efforts, refusing book bans or filing lawsuits for the return of their books. In response, conservative officials have pushed to defund libraries outright, potentially forcing their closure.

Hersh said Zelensky “has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments.”

Phthalate alternative may harm brain development and health: Acetyl tributyl citrate, a leading phthalate alternative, found to disrupt neuron-like cells. In a new study conducted in cell cultures, researchers found that the chemical acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) might not be the best replacement because it appears to interfere with the growth and maintenance of neurons. “Our study suggests that ATBC, but not other non-phthalate alternatives, could interfere with cells that maintain brain health. We think this finding warrants further testing of ATBC at different doses, in different settings and in whole organism models.”

U.S. Working on ‘Universal’ Genetically Engineered Bioweapon – Russian Parliamentary Investigation: “The United States aims to develop a universal genetically engineered biological weapon capable of infecting not only people, but animals as well as agricultural crops. Its use involves, among other things, the goal of inflicting large-scale and irreparable economic damage on the enemy,” the commission wrote in its final report. The report stated that “the situation is aggravated by the fact that the production of such biological agents can easily be dispersed over various enterprises.”

Genetic engineering and biological weapons: Rapid developments in biotechnology, genetics and genomics are undoubtedly creating a variety of environmental, ethical, political and social challenges for advanced societies. But they also have severe implications for international peace and security because they open up tremendous avenues for the creation of new biological weapons.

After lightning struck a tree, a researcher went to investigate. He found a completely new material: For a geologist, discovering a new rock is always a thrilling experience. But the excitement reaches unprecedented heights when the only comparable specimens are extraterrestrial rocks. A professor from the University of South Florida found a new phosphorus material in a rock that has never been seen before happening naturally on Earth.
