Rivers polluted by medicines

mardi 15 février 2022 à 22:20

Rivers around the world are polluted by medicines, including antibiotics. In some cases the concentration is enough to be dangerous to wildlife. The antibiotics can breed bacteria for resistance, and that can kill humans later.

Anti-vax roadblock donations

mardi 15 février 2022 à 22:20

More than half the money visibly donated to the anti-vax roadblocks in Canada came from Americans. A little over 1/3 came from Canadians.

In effect, these money-transfer sites have become a system for destabilizing Canada. It would be wise to prevent their use for this purpose.

I suspect that American right-wing billionaires are providing money secretly to be used to pay their parking tickets.

If the protesters are being supportes by rich foreigners, it enables right-wing protesters to disregard fines the way megacorporations do. In both cases, this calls for increasing fines until they are too much to ignore.

Ivermectin and other drugs

Prison thugs in Arkansas gave ivermectin in large doses (and other drugs) to several prisoners without asking them, or even telling them. They started having serious symptoms that are not typical for Covid-19.

The article doesn't say what the other drugs were. Each one was an experiment without consent, and several others might also have been dangerous for all we know.

Election boards in Georgia

In Georgia, each county has its election board, which is locally elected. The state is removing Democrats from election boards and appointing Republicans to replace them.

The Republicans on the board will be in a position to kick lots of black voters off the voter list.

Protesters against the UK bill to repress protests are being charged with rioting, which indicates the intention to give them long prison sentences.

The charges refer to protests in which the thugs violently attacked protesters, and some protesters fought back.
