The world is freaking out about Zika, but they may be worrying about the wrong virus.
Apparently, the H7N9 virus (avian flu) has begun to be passed from person to person, which means that there is now potential for a global threat. Continue reading “Zika Isn’t Going to Kill Us, But a Virulent Avian Flu Called H7N9 Might”
There’s a change in the wind and it is so significant that it has caught the attention of NASA. The quasi-biennial oscillation, a pattern so regular you could practically set your watch to it, has suddenly changed. Scientists are now looking at recent wind anomalies they have observed to see if there has been an effect on the ozone layer and if there is whether or not it can affect human life.
Let me explain what all of this means. Continue reading “Here’s How Stratospheric Wind Patterns Are Changing – And Why It Matters”
Whether you think Zika is hooey or not (here are some weird things about it that may lead you to the hooey side of the debate) it’s undeniable that loads of money and resources are being used to feverishly research the virus.
The World Health Organisation has updated its sexual guidance for people returning from areas where Zika is circulating. Hours later a research team at Washington University Medical School, St Louis discovered that Zika is present in the tears of infected victims. Continue reading “Related? Zika Virus Found In Tears Just After WHO Says No Sex for 6 Months”
Once again, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is behind, well, most of humanity, in understanding a basic concept: antibacterial overuse is a bad, bad idea.
Two antibacterial agents, triclocarban and triclosan, were developed in the 1950s and 1960s, and were first used mainly as antiseptic agents in hospitals. In the early 1990s, sales of antibacterial products to consumers took off, and by 2004, companies were introducing hundreds of new products every year, according to WebMD. Despite the popularity of these products, natural health proponents have warned that antibacterial soaps were a bad idea for years.

Life hacks are all over the place at the minute (seriously, they’re everywhere) and some are really good – but often they’re more Martha Stewart than Grizzly Adams.
Here are a few life hacks that are applicable not only to regular everyday lifestyles but to those crazy preppers – ahem – people who are of a preparedness mindset as well. While all of these aren’t necessarily life-saving, they all have the potential to save you money and effort in a survival situation. Continue reading “21 Life Hacks To Help You Breeze Through the Apocalypse (or at Least the Next Power Outage)”
You know when your kids are in the backseat of the car, and one begins irritating the other by putting her finger right in front of his nose and says mockingly, “What? I’m not touching you!”
North Korea is that annoying sibling. Except with missiles. Continue reading “I’m Not Touching You: North Korea Fires Three Missiles Towards Japan”
Sick people go to the hospital to get well, but there’s now even more scientific evidence confirming that a visit to the hospital may a person even worse-off than they were to begin with. And now we know why.
A brand new study was released that has discovered that gut flora is reduced dramatically within DAYS of someone entering the hospital environment.
Here’s why this is such a big deal. Continue reading “Hospitals Can Kill You…And a New Study Shows Us Why”
Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d type.
“Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a rash of incidents involving clown sightings.”
For real.
In South Carolina, some jerks are dressing up as clowns in the hopes of luring children into the woods to do heaven knows what, but I’m guessing it’s not magic tricks with a bunny and a hat. Continue reading “One of These Days, A Creepy Clown Is Going to Get Hurt”
Whether you think the Zika virus is a terrifying emerging epidemic, or whether you think the claims just don’t add up, your opinion no longer matters.
It doesn’t matter whether you believe in its existence, whether you believe it is less serious than the government claims, or whether you doubt that it actually causes infants to be born with microcephaly. Continue reading “Collateral Damage: How Zika Pesticide Spraying Could Eventually Kill Us All”
There was a time when “FDA Approved” was a vote of credibility. We could purchase a product and feel safe because the government watchdogs had checked it out thoroughly before allowing it to be sold.
Now, “FDA Approved” means “The company that produced this product has enough money and clout to allow it to be sold.” Continue reading “20 Things the FDA (Federal Deception Administration) Doesn’t Want You to Know”
Lately, there has been a growing sense of unease with Russia. Of course, our relationship with Russia has always been a priority, particularly because of their nuclear arsenal and geographic position. But it seems as though tensions between the US and Russia are increasing recently.
For example, President Obama has been making moves that seem like they are set in motion to deliberately annoy Vladimir Putin. Putin, perhaps in response to this, has directly ordered some drills that would make even the most stalwart person feel rather uncomfortable. Continue reading “Oh, Hi There. Russia to Station Troops a Mere 50 Miles from the US Border”
Sometimes, we can get a hint of things that are to come by watching what the government is doing to prepare. After all, their intel is way better than ours, and they do have a tendency to keep secrets. Of special interest to anyone who like to don the tinfoil and try to figure out what may be coming down the pipe are the actions of FEMA, the agency which is in charge of “managing” emergencies here in the US.
So when they place a large order for something that they want absolutely immediately, I pay attention. Continue reading “Why Did FEMA Just Put a Rush Order on 5 Million Bottles Of Water?”
A flood is a disaster that just keeps coming back to haunt areas affected by it. As the waters recede, it doesn’t mean that the risk of illness is over. After a flood, clean-up itself can be wrought with hazards.
Floods have been all over the news in the past few months, with southern Louisiana being most recently submerged. Before that, just a few months ago Texas was once again hit by heavy rain and flooding. West Virginia suffered a 500 year flood that took 23 lives and destroyed over a thousand homes. According to a report by Michael Snyder, the past year has seen the US hit by 11 historic floods. (You can add Louisiana’s flood to make that a dozen.) Continue reading “What You Need to Know About Health Hazards After a Flood”
If you are a gun owner, especially one who carries a firearm on a daily basis, you’ve probably wondered how you would fare if you had to use your weapon in a life-and-death situation. Could you hit a moving target? Would you freeze under pressure? Would you accidentally harm innocent bystanders in your attempt to take down a threat? With virtual simulation training, you can find out the answers to these questions. Continue reading “Simulation Training: Are You Actually Ready to Use Your Gun in an Emergency?”
Around the world, governments have recently been issuing an unsettling call for their citizens to become more self-reliant. Just this week, the governments of both Germany and Czechoslovakia warned that people should be prepared for ““be prepared for the worst case possible scenario.”
But here in the United States, just the opposite is happening. Our government seems to have an unquenchable thirst for cracking down on those who take responsibility for themselves. There is an abundance of evidence of this in Louisiana. Continue reading “Louisiana Officials Demand That Self-Reliant Locals Stop Surviving the Flood Without Permission”
Remember how a couple of days ago the German government advised its citizens to start stockpiling food and water? Well, today they have announced that they are considering reintroducing conscription…the draft, to ‘help with any future disaster’.
And Germany isn’t alone. There are increasing hints in countries around the world that something big is on its way…and it won’t be pretty. Continue reading “A Disturbing Series of Events: Governments Around the World Seem to Be Preparing for War”
An elementary school in Albuquerque, NM has a new policy to go along with the new school year. Just in case kids are gender confused, teachers are no longer allowed to address children as “boys and girls.”
After the Bathroom Hullabaloo of 2016, you would have thought that things might settle down and we could go about our business, peeing wherever we want to pee and that would be that. Continue reading “If Kids Aren’t Gender Confused Yet, They Will Be When School Is Done With Them”
Louisiana made headlines when racial division rocked the Baton Rouge area after the shooting of Alton Sterling and the subsequent killing of 3 police officers, but when the devastating Louisiana flood occurred last week, it was all but ignored. Of course, there are no agendas of discrimination, no flags to wave, no riots, and no guns to seize. They can’t further their message of race-baiting propaganda, so the mainstream media just doesn’t care. Continue reading “The Truth About Why the Mainstream Is Ignoring the Louisiana Flood”
Wow, the nerve of some people who just refuse to play ball.
The fact that Hillary Clinton used her personal email account for sensitive government communication is still haunting the presidential candidate. Although she seems to be generously coated in Teflon when it comes to criminal charges, the public isn’t quite as willing to let her transgression with national security go as James Comey, the Director of the FBI is. (Here’s his annotated statement about the email business.) Continue reading “Colin Powell Won’t Be Hillary Clinton’s Huckleberry”
Now that glyphosate has been denounced by the World Health Organization, there’s a new spray in town from our friendly neighborhood purveyor of poison, Monsanto. It hasn’t yet been approved, but given the history of blatant collusion between Monsanto and the government, there’s little doubt that it will be.
But there’s a bit of a catch: even though dicamba, the newest toxic ingredient in the Monsanto line-up, hasn’t actually been approved for this use by the EPA, it is already being widely used on genetically modified crops…And the illegal spray is killing the crops of neighboring farmers.
