BBC ^ | April 18 | BBC
The true scale of the number of medical trials using infected blood products on children in the 1970s and 80s has been revealed by documents seen by BBC News. They reveal a secret world of unsafe clinical testing involving children in the UK, as doctors placed research goals ahead of patients' needs. They continued for more than 15 years, involved hundreds of people, and infected most with hepatitis C and HIV. One surviving patient told the BBC he was treated like a "guinea pig". The trials involved children with blood clotting disorders, when families had often not consented to them...

An exploding population of hard-to-eradicate “super pigs” in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border, and northern states like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are taking steps to stop the invasion. In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that's spreading out of control. Ryan Brook, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan and one of Canada's leading authorities on the problem, calls feral swine,...

The Israel-Palestine conflict is the latest narrative in the war of stories and is serving multiple strategic purposes. Aside from fueling the war economy, this conflict is having a particularly divisive effect on America. It is also being used as a pretext to bolster the Western censorship regime. It is obvious that establishment forces want you hungry for this war; they might not even care which side you are on so long as you do pick a side. This article suggests that there is an alternative option, and it is one that the deep political establishment does NOT want you...

An associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago is under fire for antisemitic comments she posted on social media calling Israeli’s “pigs” and “savages.” Dr. Mika Tosca, a climate scientist and activist, slammed the Jewish State in an Instagram story amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. “Israelis are pigs. Savages,” she wrote. “Very bad people. Irredeemable excrement.” She called Israel’s defense against Hamas – the terrorist group that killed more than 1,400 people and has kidnapped more than 200 others since Oct. 7 – “propaganda” that is “downright evil.” “It’s disgusting and grotesque. May...

An Ohio man has been busted after a Jewish woman shared Ring footage of someone ringing her doorbell just to say, “You Zionist pigs are f–king disgusting.” Footage seen nearly 3 million times by Tuesday after being shared by StopAntisemitism showed a bearded man in a beanie, dark jacket and jeans leaning down to talk into the Ring camera in one of the incidents. Homeowner Debbie Meyer said she’s certain she was targeted because she had an Israeli flag outside.

In the city of Madison, pigs won't be flying anywhere after the Common Council amended the city ordinance to allow them to be kept as pets. The council voted 11-8 on the change late Tuesday night, allowing one pig per dwelling unit in the city, as long as it's under 24 inches tall at the shoulder, weighs 300 pounds, is up to date on shots and is microchipped. The vote came after roughly 30 minutes of discussion. The swine that started it all was Rudi. He lives along the Southwest Commuter Bike Path. "I think he belongs here," Karen Peterson...

FDA: People Can Eat These Gene-Edited Pigs

Genetically-altered pigs are now on the menu. The United States Food and Drug Administration has authorized gene-edited pigs entrance into the food chain for human consumption—as German-style sausages. Gene-editing can make changes in an organism’s DNA that could occur in nature or through selective breeding but would take much longer without a tool like CRISPR. The FDA authorization is investigational, and limited to these particular pigs, but shows that gene-editing livestock to quickly produce desirable traits for improved food production is a viable strategy for helping feed the planet’s growing population. “It’s important for a university to set the precedent...

its seems Canadian farmers breeding to produce a hardier pig may have been a bad idea. Northern states may end up having the same issue southern states have with feral pigs. "In April 13, a farmer in Nelson Country, North Dakota, was attacked by a feral pig*but not just any old swine. The perpetrator was what authorities and wildlife experts are calling a *super pig,* or a hybrid between a European wild boar and a domestic pig. The beast made repeated attempts to maul the farmer until it was finally shot dead. This attack is just the latest development in...

When you’ve lost Andrew Cuomo, you really should take it as a sign that you’ve gone way too far. But there was the randy former New York governor on Saturday, as Democrat as Democrats can possibly be, charging that the ongoing prosecutions-in-search-of-a-crime directed against the America-First president were nothing less than a “cancer in our body politic.” Who does Andrew Cuomo think he is? Roger Stone? p>Cuomo knows a thing or two about prosecutions: he was attorney general of the state of New York from 2007 to 2010. On Saturday, he declared that the investigations of Trump were politically motivated,...

A cross-bred “super pig” from Canada is poised to wreak havoc on the environment in the United States and must be dealt with aggressively and immediately, a wildlife expert told Fox News Digital. “These pigs are easily the worst invasive large mammal on the planet,” said Dr. Ryan Brook, an assistant professor in the department of animal and poultry science at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. These “super pigs” are actually a cross between a European wild boar and a domestic pig, Brook said. The pigs “cause crop damage, destroy natural environments, get into cities, destroy water quality and...

Newsweek ^ | February 13, 2023 | Kaitlin Lewis
Environment activist Erin Brockovich is calling on the Biden Administration to "step up" after a trail derailment in eastern Ohio led to a controlled release of toxic chemicals. On February 3, a train operated by Norfolk Southern Railway derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, and cause a major fire near the track. Around 20 of the 50 cars that derailed were transporting hazardous materials, including vinyl chloride, a toxic and flammable gas. Out of fear that the fire could cause an explosion, officials decided to conduct a controlled burn of hazardous materials, which began on February 6. However, the process still...
