Monsanto doctor: Let’s “beat the sh*t out of” mothers engaged in activism against corporation

It’s been my experience that men who talk like this have a greater than average chance of ending up on the receiving end of a beating, rather than the other way around. Nevertheless, this is how Monsanto scientists, including a pediatrician, talk about other human beings when they believe no one else will see it.

Automating endless war

Insightful article at The American Conservative: Artificial intelligence will make our forever wars truly forever

Automation on the battlefield has rapidly advanced over the past several decades, with the innocent civilians of the Mideast providing a suitable theater of war to test their tech. It’s not difficult to imagine a point in the near future when the U.S. launches it’s first drone-only war. And from that, it’s fairly easy to imagine a permanent presence of that drone army in whatever conflict zone our government deems necessary.

We have no idea how vaccines are affecting the immune system

Several studies looking at infant mortality in girls following tuberculosis vaccination as well as DTP vaccination found a far higher mortality rate than girls who only received one of the vaccines. Here are the studies for your perusal:

Early DTP vaccination associated with higher female mortality and no difference in male mortality in a cohort of low birthweight children

Evaluation of non-specific effects of infant immunizations on early infant mortality in a southern Indian population

“Non-specific effects” is probably the most insidious danger of vaccination, because death or injury appears to be caused by something other than the vaccine. In short, the vaccines, or combination, are wrecking the children’s immune systems, increasing their susceptibility to other infections.

Peter Aaby looked at the mortality rate for vaccinated and unvaccinated children in Guinea Bissau after the shots were administered in the early 80’s. Even though the vaccinated children came from higher-income, urban elite, and had access to better food and sanitation, their mortality rate was significantly higher than the rural unvaccinated:

Evidence of increase in mortality after the introduction of DTP vaccine to children age 6-35 months in Guinea-Bissau: A time for reflection?

Vaccines have become a corporate-backed religion, and have taken on all the characteristics of a fundamentalist dogma: the censorship of criticism, forced participation, the unmasking and ostracism of heretics, et cetera. Rational thought and discussion becomes virtually impossible in this environment. Questioning vaccine policy elicits the same reaction you’d get if you questioned the motives or existence of someone’s god. It’s a dangerous state of affairs, not only for the health of our children, but for the security of our liberty.

“Feminist capitalist” Camille Paglia profiled in WSJ

The Camille Paglia write-up, A Feminist Capitalist Professor Under Fire, is a wonderful read. A slice:

So why do young women feel victimized? Ms. Paglia cites the near-extinction of “body language” among the young and its impact on sexual relations on campus. The “loss of body language” starts in middle and high school, “where there’s total absorption in social media and projected images on Instagram, and so on. So they don’t know how to read each other, physically.” When they get to college, this social deficiency is exacerbated by the effects of “that stupid law, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, that was passed in 1984.” It effected a nationwide ban on alcohol sales to adults under 21.

“When I got to college,” Ms. Paglia says, “you could go out for a beer, you could talk with a drink in a public place, in an adult environment.” That’s how 18-year-olds away from home for the first time learned the “art of conversation, of looking at each other, reading facial expressions and body language.” After the ban on drinking, “instead of a nice group of people conversing and flirting, you got the keg parties at fraternities on campus, this horrible environment where women milled about with men in this huge amount of noise, with people chugging beers down.”
