I always see lots of r/K related stories I think might interest the readers here, but I only have time to blog about a few, so here are some additional news stories that might be of interest. You can skim the titles and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest.
Q appears to have temporarily lost control of his board to a hack:
He regained control.
They had a hundredth of a second window to decide, shoot/no-shoot. One hundredth of a second sooner, and they shot an unarmed black man and it was off to prison, bankruptcy from the civil suits, and familial ruin. One hundredth of a second later, and two officers almost died. Both recovered, though one’s heart did stop, he spent 12 days in a coma, and he has no memory of the shootout. Perp lived, but was caught when he sought help for his bullet wounds.
British-born Muslim convert planned to kill 100 people by mowing down a crowd.
For some reason some element of the FBI was stalling the raid on the Islamist compound where children were being trained to become school shooters. Could have been watching to see if they were going to reach out to confederates, but these days, after eight years of the Muslim Brotherhood running our government, who knows.
Immigrants are using 60% more food stamps than Americans. Even illegals are using food stamps.
39 year old Conspiracy Theorist who had been digging into the lives of elites in politics, business, and entertainment, attends a conference, messages his mom that he is in trouble, and is found vomiting black liquid before he dies. Medical examiner says natural causes, but when his laptop and phone are returned, they are wiped.
Childhood friend of Michael Cohen, who Cohen called during the mysterious Trump-Tower fire, is found dead of a heart attack due to an oxycodone overdose with prescription pills for back pain.
Female Dutch anti-immigrant politician posts a video saying she was gang raped by a group of Muslims. Afterward, the video is pulled off the internet, she is found dead of suicide, and Police say she approached them about being gang-raped a year ago but didn’t want to press charges. Possible alternate explanation, given she had four adopted children? She posted her video, was suicided by a pro, the video was pulled as her body was hanging from the door knob in the background, and the Police refused to take her charges a year back on orders of Cabal because the Muslims who raped her raped her on orders of Cabal, and Cabal told Police there would be no charges. Both explanations fit the evidence these days, and I would argue the second might make more sense than the first.
Experts warn satellites could be hacked and used as an ultra-powerful radio frequency weapon.
IRS Recognizes ‘Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft’ for Lesbian Feminists as Church for Tax Purposes.
Russian President says Donald Trump is waging economic warfare on his country. Medvedev is an unknown, but I am sure Putin views it as just part of the normal aggressive, take no prisoners competing between two superpowers. Just like Putin enjoys beers with friends after fighting in martial arts, it isn’t personal, no matter how hard Trump hits. Although Putin will hit back at some point, and he will not pull his punches either. Just don’t let yourself become a common enemy of both Trump and Putin. They will pragmatically join forces to take you out.
Antifa to protest in DC, says no ICE, no borders, and close all prisons. You thought they were crazy when they said abolish ICE, and eliminate the borders? Now they want to empty all our prisons.
Liberal offered $500 bounty on life of any ICE agent, gets arrested.
Democrat Congressional Candidate caught in DUI bust, captured on tape saying, “I hate this county! I prayed to God that he would curse it.” And then God sent Donald Trump to smite him and all of his kind.
Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer’s home broken into, and his green Jeep Cherokee stolen, allegedly by Shawn Christy, pictured below, a nutjob who has threatened to kill President Trump and kill any Law Enforcement who get in his way. Police are looking for him.
Democrat gets in argument online with Trump supporter he never met, says he felt threatened, lost control of his faculties, took an AR-15 to the guy’s house, and opened fire on the house. Trump’s global amygdala hijacking is world class, of a level we may never see, ever again. Leftists everywhere have no control of themselves, and that is why he will win effortlessly going forward.
Jury finds Roundup causes cancer, awards $289 Million to terminally ill groundskeeper with lymphoma who used it for years. There is a correlation between exposure and lymphoma. The punchline? You can find it in all sorts of foods today, meaning if the verdict holds against the appeals, everyone with lymphoma will close in on Monsanto and claim food contamination did it to them. I don’t see how Glyphosate can continue to be sold. Effects on agricultural yields are uncertain. Effects on Monsanto stock? Pretty clear.
Italy’s Catholics are flocking to the right. K-shift in action.
Mr Bean supports Boris Johnson’s right to make a joke about burkas. IIRC, Mr Bean was actually a bright engineer, who discovered he couldn’t crash his McLarens whenever he wanted on an Engineer’s salary, but he could by playing Mr Bean.
Brazil murders rose 3% in 2017 to 63,880, a record. Crime, Misery Index, Conservative Policy Mood. K is all over the globe, at the same time.
And there is talk Brazilian Evangelicals may put a Brazilian Donald Trump in their Presidency. Unfortunately for Brazil, there will only be one Donald Trump, ever, in all of history, but you get the idea. K-shift, in action, all over.
Facebook traffic halves in two years. It makes me wonder if two years ago there were US Government servers dedicated to crawling facebook to make the online stats appear more dominant than competitors in the sector traffic-wise (and drive up ad revenue with clickthroughs), and now those servers are no longer operational.
Financial shockwaves rip through Turkey, as Lira drops 15%, as Trump promises to double metals tariffs. I’ve heard when you get to prison the first thing you do is find somebody unlikable, and beat them to a pulp.

Rudy has an interesting idea:

I thought this was interesting. Q said Cabal is committed to its symbols, and that would be their downfall. Here is Obama’s portrait, with vegetation in the background which supposedly represents something to Cabal, some say deflowering the world, others say they view themselves as gardeners managing crops of humans:
Here is Allison Mack posing with a similar backdrop:
So I was surfing /pol and noticed this:
No idea if it is significant, but I thought I would throw it out there in case something else which bears upon it comes forth.

Re: Roundup
Will all those who have scoffed at anybody who expressed concern about this stuff apologize? Will they get some humility and think that maybe, just maybe, those who express concern about other things like vaccines, GMO, plastics, etc. could be right? (I confess that I used to be like that; and I will apologize to those who stood up in the face of serious social pressure and stuck to their guns.)
Over and over again we’ve had evidence backing up these kinds of concerns over recent years (the example are numerous, to say the least), and still people confidently treat those with similar concerns with complete disdain.
Of course this doesn’t mean that ALL of these kinds of things are true. But one thing we do know is that we can’t trust our society’s authorities at all anymore. Science has become so polluted with politics and ideology that it’s become practically useless.
Humility and skepticism. Try it.
It makes me wonder because my mom knew somebody who died from Burkitt’s lymphoma. None of the doctors could figure out why he got it, as it only affects black Africans and HIV positive people, and this guy was white. One might see more odd cases like that popping up.
What does “express concern” mean? Who are you denouncing? I’m not aware of anyone worth listening to who’s said “It’s certainly fine to repeatedly drench yourself with glycophospate + Roundup/Ranger Pro’s surfactant”, since that defies both common sense and the product’s instructions for use. “vaccines, GMO, plastics, etc.” … you ever talk to someone who lived before we developed vaccines for polio? Or people who were in real danger of starving to death in their home country?
Are you aware of some of the extreme methods we previously used to create new varieties of plants, like exposure to X or gamma rays and chemical mutagens? GMOs are surgical by comparison, which doesn’t mean those developing can’t screw up, see the Japanese company that shipped poisonous
L-tryptophan by increasing the expression of 3 genes at the same time they decreased their purification process and didn’t bother to look closely at the result. But at least we know what we’re dealing with, except in that Japanese case the company claimed they destroyed all copies of the organism in question, something that should have earned them an eternal ban on exporting stuff to the US.
I just looked up the two big ones, dwarf wheat and rice, and they originally weren’t made this way, but by traditional crossbreeding, which is still much more scatter-shot than the GMO method, and who knows where the desirable genes came from? Gene transfer between different organisms is ubiquitous. But crossbreeding is more “natural” so it’s less criticized. Some 1970s varieties of Calrose rice, though, were made with gamma rays from cobalt-60, and traits from those have been bred into many varieties of rice. Of course, radiation is also natural, do you avoid eating bananas because of the dose of naturally radioactive potassium-40 you get from them?
“…Jury finds Roundup causes cancer…”
Did you know that they drench most all the wheat crops in this country with roundup before they harvest. The reason is it kills off the wheat and lets it dry a little right before harvest. That way it won’t mold and is much easier to harvest. A little thought will tell you that you have to be getting a lot of this stuff in your food. I’m actually not adamant about no pesticides or herbicides but spraying right before harvest bothers me. I’m also not against GMO’s but the problem is “what” genes they are replacing or adding. Some are good and some are bad.
I’ve also wondered about genes splicing into your microbiome’s genes. When they make hot sauce, the peppers are usually the ones that have a virus which makes them ugly (PPMV), but edible. So they can’t sell in a supermarket, but they can be ground into hot sauce. The virus RNA apparently holds together, and may enter bacteria in the gut, which burn off their genes and create the viruses. They think the viruses may infect epithelial cells weakly, because people who eat the hot sauce have tons of the RNA flowing out of them, and the lower intestine has a high level of inflammation, as if it is fighting an infection. (actually I remember reading that some throat cancers are releasing Tobacco Mosaic Virus RNA, implying the virus was in the cancer cells, and making some wonder if it transformed them – as in the tobacco plant was not the carcinogen in many cases, so much as the TMV RNA it carried getting into the cells and transforming them.
Anyway, if the microbiome can grab up digested DNA/RNA, and begin burning off products using the bacterial cell machinery, a lot of stuff now carries a gene for BT, a toxin that kills bugs by screwing up their gut function. So you eat BT genes, your microbiome grabs up some of the DNA, and now the bacteria in your gut are amping up the DNA and producing the toxin, which an old study indicated causes a lot of weird auto-immune issues in organic gardeners who were exposed to a good deal of it. I am not sure how you would purge that, short of purging your whole GI system.
Personally, I’d only grow heirloom. As for shopping in a supermarket, good luck.
Vegetation/foliage could be pagan:
“Green Man. The Green Man motif is a human face comprised of, surrounded by and/or seemingly sprouting from foliage, who in Pagan culture symbolized the cycle of regrowth each spring. The Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities. It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of growth each spring. Usually referred to in works on architecture as foliate heads or foliate masks, carvings of the Green Man may take many forms, naturalistic or decorative. The simplest depict a man’s face peering out of dense foliage. Some may have leaves for hair, perhaps with a leafy beard. Often leaves or leafy shoots are shown growing from his open mouth and sometimes even from the nose and eyes as well. In the most abstract examples, the carving at first glance appears to be merely stylised foliage, with the facial element only becoming apparent on closer examination.”

The Obama portrait screams signal.
Glycopshopate is almost certainly very safe, it’s a competitive inhibitor of an enzyme no animals have. Compound it with a nasty surfactant like Monsanto did with a “phosphate ester neutralized polyethoxylated tallow amine“, and you’ve got another story, which is the one the plaintiff’s lawyer made. To illustrate this, you don’t willingly put surfactants like soap in your mouth or eyes.
But, sure, if you want to top the record with DDT and kill billions instead of millions, go right ahead and ban glycosphopate.
You can’t really say that it is safe simply because we don’t have the enzyme. Active sites on one enzyme can be similar to other active sites elsewhere on other things, simply because they are only exploiting hydrophilia/phobicity and charges to attract. So they can exhibit cross reactivity, especially when you have smaller molecules that only have to find one small part of the active site to bind to, to muck up the works. That’s why superactive analogs are always small pieces of a ligand. That small piece can float around in a large active site and find a small piece to bind to strongly, even stronger than the full ligand, which may not be a perfect fit but is perfect for its functional requirements in the system in its imperfect form.
I don’t know, but it also wouldn’t surprise me to find the forces that evolved the structures of the ligands and receptors might even produce some sort of evolutionary convergence toward several active site motifs that are easily and efficiently made and very functional. They may not all be as random as we think. Glyphosate may be effective in the plant because it hits some small motif that is also in some larger active site on something else in humans.
Again, I’m not an expert that can say what is, but I know what others probably don’t know.
Of course not, and you must test the assumption that it’s safe, as has been done, in studies, and in the grand experiment of people using the stuff a lot in the real world.
Which brings up another issue where your hyperbole is not helping, there’s a vast difference between occupational exposure like in this case, where the plaintiff even managed to twice drench himself in the dilute solution I would assume, and what consumers end up eating, “the dose makes the poison” at the very least. I’m entirely willing to believe people need to be more careful in using glycophospate plus surfactants, but if you take this case as gospel, where the plaintiff’s lawyers didn’t try to make the case that only the glycophospate was the problem, and then use this to ban it altogether, you’ll kill many people just like the jihad against DDT did and still does.
Probably in reference to the Garden of Eden. The snake, hidden knowledge and all that:

Thank you.
“…US Judge authorizes seizure of Venezuela’s Citgo, to pay a debt Venezuela owed….”
One thing that bothers me about this is that what the plaintiffs were owed was due to Venezuela being raped by insiders who profited from looting the country. It’s not like the government, “agents for others”, actually set out to get the best deal for Venezuela and the winners were ripped off. This same sort of thing happened in Russia, Argentina, Brazil and many others countries. The book “Economic Hit Man” covers this. The countries were given very bad economic advice to deliberately get them in dire financial trouble. Maybe you could say that they should have been more careful but hey these people fronted for the World Bank and others institutions that were supposed to be impartial and for the growth of poorer countries. In actuality they used the WB and other institutions to rip people off and then threaten them with economic ruin if they didn’t pay up. This massive unplayable debt is one reason that growth and prosperity is lagging in most countries. The smart ones like China refuse to let the bankers run their central banks. The smaller countries that try to do this are attacked like Libya.
My sympathy is not all together just to look after them. I believe that they were setting the USA up for the exact same treatment. They got away with it in Argentina and other places. They got away with the banking crisis while being paid trillions so why not ruin the USA and put the money in their pocket while we rotted.
Barack and the sperm-face painting! Cracks me up every time I see it.
