The Military-Industrial Complex Is Killing Us All

We need to talk about what bombs do in war. Bombs shred flesh. Bombs shatter bones. Bombs dismember.By David Vine

By David Vine

We need to talk about what bombs do in war. Bombs shred flesh. Bombs shatter bones. Bombs dismember. Bombs cause brains, lungs, and other organs to shake so violently they bleed, rupture, and cease functioning. Bombs injure. Bombs kill. Bombs destroy.

Bombs also make people rich.

When a bomb explodes, someone profits. And when someone profits, bombs claim more unseen victims. Every dollar spent on a bomb is a dollar not spent saving a life from a preventable death, a dollar not spent curing cancer, a dollar not spent educating children. That’s why, so long ago, retired five-star general and President Dwight D. Eisenhower rightly called spending on bombs and all things military a “theft…

Autonomous marine trash gobbler takes on invasive weeds too

Clear Robotics is expanding its fleet of autonomous marine trash collectors. Its Class 3 vessel boasts more onboard storage capacity plus towed barge potential for extended cleanup operations

The Class 3 Clearbot features an 8-hour battery plus solar panels, 500 kg on onboard trash storage and a specialized cutter for clipping and extracting invasive weeds

By Paul Ridden

Clear Robotics is expanding its fleet of autonomous marine trash collectors. Its Class 3 vessel boasts more onboard storage capacity plus towed barge potential for extended cleanup operations, and has also been designed to tackle invasive weeds.

Looking for a way to automate the labor-intensive task of cleaning floating waste from local waters, a pair of Hong Kong University graduates came up with a robotic vessel dubbed Clearbot. The basic idea was to send the little trash gobbler into harbors, lakes and canals, where it would take a bite out of floating debris with its gaping mouth (open bow) and collect it in bins for responsible disposal or recycling.

The design got a funky makeover from gaming company Razer mid-2021, and numerous Clearbots have started work in the years since. Now the company has stepped things up a notch with the launch of a Class 3 vessel in the North East Region of India…

Government Raid Seizes $90,000 of Healthy Food Grown by Nourish Cooperative

Nourish Cooperative is a farm cooperative that provides fresh, whole foods, such as low-PUFA eggs, raw milk, and “needle-free” grass fed and/or corn- and soy-free meathttps://dailynewsfromaolf.substack.com/p/government-raid-seizes-90000-of-healthy

Five-Hour ‘Inspection’ Leads to Cease and Desist Letter

What began to unfold over the next four to five hours was these four inspectors, going through our fridges and freezers, tossing products around, and deciding that all of our raw dairy and a few other products were placed under seizure. Including the raw cheese.

The issue they had with the raw cheese was that the plant number was “not identifiable” on the label. However, Brandon read off the plant number to the inspectors directly from the label in front of them, and this information was also given to the main human food inspector the week prior verbally during a phone call…

The findings, released by the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, come as California has been staring down a $44.9-billion deficit…

Plastic Food Packaging from Five Countries Contains Endocrine- and Metabolism-Disrupting Chemicals

This recent article on food packaging had some very important news. We know that plastic polymer can produce highly toxic effects in the human body.

by Ana Maria Mihalcea, Md, Phd

This recent article on food packaging had some very important news. We know that plastic polymer can produce highly toxic effects in the human body. I have extensively written about this in relation to the self assembly nanotechnology polymers. The reason this paper is so important is this: while there were only a few polymers identified, that one polymer had SEVERAL THOUSAND individual chemicals in them. Imagine what that means for humans and the health of our biosphere with microplastics being ubiquitous - any nobody knows what kind of disease processes exactly these chemicals are causing in the human body. The chemicals from the packaging also go into the food. The scientists tested specifically for endocrine disruption, which we know that phthalates, which are chemical derivatives of plastics, can cause…
