Pacific Ring of Fire: Volcanoes true cause of arctic ice melt! Sunscreen true cause of coral reef die off?

08JUL2018 /21:55 UTC-07 Tango 06  (18 Tir 1397/25 Shawwal 1439/26 Ji-Wei 4716)

More proof you can’t blame man made air pollution on Global Warming-Climate Change for coral reef deaths:  In November 2015 the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned Skincare Chemical Threatens Coral Reefs.

Time.com, in 2015, said Sunscreen Killing Reefs.

In February 2018, the Sweden based International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) revealed the impacts of sunscreens on coral reefs.

In April 2018 National Geographic reported Sunscreen, Clothing, And Other Coral Reef-Safe Alternatives.

At the end of June, 2018, Mother Nature News said Why your sunscreen is bad for coral reefs.

And for more proof you can’t blame man made air pollution on Global Warming-Climate Change glacier melt-off, recent discoveries reveal that polar ice sheets are actually melting due to volcanic activity. In August 2017 The Guardian reported Scientists discover 91 volcanoes below Antarctic ice sheet.

In October 2017 The Weather Channel reported Volcanic Eruptions May Be Rapidly Melting Arctic Ice Sheets.

In June 2018, the Independent reported Active volcano discovered beneath Antarctic ice sheet could be contributing to rapidly melting glacier.

Now onto the most recent volcanic/seismic activity around the Pacific Ring of Fire.

A group of microbes found in a highly acidic, hot, mineral-rich volcanic lake in Central America may give us clues about life on ancient Mars.

Total Gun Ban Fail: Mass knife attacks kill dozens in China, “taking revenge on society”!

28JUN2018 /19:38 UTC-07 Tango 06  (08 Tir 1397/15 Shawwal 1439/16 Wu-Wu 4716)

Yet again, in total gun ban China students were attacked by a man with a knife.

Three boys and a woman were attacked near Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School, two of the boys died.

Police arrested the stabber, saying he had just moved to the area looking for a job and was “taking revenge on society”.  Not being able to find a job is the number one reason why men in China go on slashing/stabbing sprees.  Not being able to find a woman who will marry them is the number two reason.

But this wasn’t the only knife attack in Shanghai, just a week earlier another man killed two people and wounded five in the Pudong district.  He too was unemployed.

In May, another man killed nine junior high school students in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, ten were wounded.  In this case the slasher said he was getting revenge for being bullied when he was a student at the school!

In all three cases the edge weapons users were in their late 20s.

Edged weapons attacks have become so common in Total Gun Ban China that police have published a Monty Python style video on how to survive a knife attack, can you say Run Away? (be warned, it’s hilarious):

NBC: Foreign cartels embrace home-grown marijuana in pot-legal states

ALABAMA: Walker County has the highest percentage of drug deaths relating to its population.  Drug raid in Dekalb County captures 1.3-kilos (three pounds) of meth, 1.3-kilos of marijuana, 20 illegal guns, $30-thousand USD in cash and captured two men believed to be from Mexico.  Three children were also found in the home, the raid was the result of “several months” of investigations.  Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force conducted multiple raids, capturing 14 alleged druggies, 180-grams of synthetic marijuana, 100-grams of marijuana, several grams of methamphetamine, crack and heroin, four guns, one vehicle and $8-thousand-761 in cash.    Marshall County Drug Task Force captured more than 50 people (they had warrants for 1-hundred) in one night, Sheriff Scott Walls says it’s the biggest round-up of druggies in the past 38 years: “The majority of these arrests are crystal meth, there are heroin cases mixed in with this. We’re living in a time where that seems to be the norm, where people are selling in their communities, and we have a lot of drug abuse, and this is the first step to solving some of those problems.”

What’s sad about the above statement is that these druggie round-ups have been going on ever since the Reagan Era of the War on Drugs, and as you can see it has had no effect on the reduction of illegal drug use.   Also, local news media is publishing the names of the people captured, I mean arrested.  In the United States you’re supposed to be considered innocent until proven otherwise in court, not by police, news media or by public opinion.

ALASKA: The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy declared Alaska to be a high-intensity drug trafficking area, opening up federal level taxpayer funding to police. Federal prosecutors in Anchorage discovered a new tactic of drug dealers; intentionally getting captured.  People are intentionally getting arrested in the hopes they can smuggle into prison drugs and illegal guns.

“No one shall possess a firearm or firearms or a sword or swords.”-Japanese law, however, after a long permitting procedure a person can own a single-fire gun designed for hunting or sport-shooting (you must first own a shotgun for ten years without incident before owning a rifle)

https://youtu.be/iebpXJ0XQz0

Once again, U.S. puppet Japan’s total gun ban has failed.  This time a military veteran stabbed to death a cop, took his gun and shoots to death a school security guard.  4-hundred students hunkered down in the small Okuda Elementary School’s gym.  The military vet was then shot and wounded by police.

On Japanese state TV (NHK) stunned parents made the usual statement; “I never thought it could happen here!”  But as opposed to the United States, where owning a military grade weapon (that’s what the word ‘arms’ means) is a Constitutional Right, in Japan there is a near total gun ban (even edged weapons).

Toyama Police say the veteran had three knives in his possession, they became aware of the veteran after people called in saying a man with knives was hanging around the school.  Reports say teachers tried defending the school with broomsticks (after the security guard was killed). A woman told The Japan Times that she thought the area was safe “because there’s a police box near here.”  She never thought anybody would attack a gun armed cop with a knife.

Update: Japanese news reports suggest the veteran might have been bullied at work, by his boss.

Japan’s national police agency admitted that in 2017 there were at least 22 documented cases of guns being used in crimes.

The official National Drug Take Back Day was 28APR2018, proving that the government is behind the drug epidemic (why else would they call it ‘Take Back Day’ if they aren’t the source of the drugs?).  Since National Drug Take Back Day began in 2010 more than four million kilos (nine million pounds) of prescription drugs were given back to the government, I mean turned in on National Drug Take Back Day across the U.S.

Nebraska: The daughter of the mayor of North Port, and another woman, arrested while driving a Chevy Tahoe full of 46.7-kilos (103-pounds) of marijuana!

Nevada: According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) The Silver State has the highest rate of psycho-stimulants O-D deaths; a 32% increase from 2015 to 2016: “I’ve been doing this job six and a half years, and for the last three of four years, we’ve seen the numbers rising. It unfortunately doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.”-Jamie Ross, PACT (Patient Access Community Treatment) Coalition

“The number one drug seized by all of our task forces is meth.-Keith Carter, Nevada High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area

New Hampshire:  The state experienced its largest ever fentanyl drug bust involving 20 different federal, state and local agencies resulting in 45 indictments and more than 30-kilograms (66 pounds) of fentanyl captured.  The drug gang involved originated in Massachusetts.

New Jersey:  The FBI arrested a Paterson cop for dealing heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine and marijuana since 2017, even using a city police car in a parking lot right next to the police HQ to do so!  One report says that from 2015 to 2016 at least 16-thousand people in New Jersey had to be revived with Narcan A convicted immigrant drug dealer was able to order his girlfriend’s murdered while he was in a New Jersey prison!

New Mexico: 14 people in Las Cruces arrested, 16 indicted, for trafficking cocaine, heroin and meth across four states.  In Las Vegas, a man who wanted some meth got mad when the female dealer told him she needed more money, he chopped her with a machete, she survived, he’s in jail.  And possibly as a result of such crazy drug crimes, the West Las Vegas School Board considering making it mandatory for school employees and student athletes to be tested for drugs, including prescription drugs: “In light of the recent events of what’s happened at schools, I think that anybody, or any teacher, any administrator who may be using a prescription medication or may be using narcotics, poses a safety threat to the school.”-Ambrosio Castellano, board member

New York: A NYC drug bust revealed nine kilos (20-pounds) of drugs in an apartment oven and couch, and $600-thousand USD in cash inside a Lamborghini.  The state Comptroller’s Office says 63% of counties couldn’t adequately Take Back drugs because they don’t have enough drug drop boxes, and five counties don’t have any drug Take Back boxes.  A doctor facing charges of killing six people with overdoses of opioids has somehow gotten another job at another clinic!  80% of New Yorkers blame doctors for the opioid epidemic, 70% blame the government.

North Carolina:  A local TV station revealed that illegal drug dealing has become such big business that state lawmakers created a special tax, called the Unauthorized Substance Tax, and drug dealers are actually paying it!  Perhaps in response, the federal government declared operation Take Back North Carolina: “The stakes are so high, the risk is so great that I almost don’t care what the cause is, we just got to stop the problem.”-Robert Higdon Junior, U.S. Attorney

North Dakota: A Burleigh County Sheriff’s Deputy now in jail after getting caught stealing cell phones and meth right outta the police evidence locker.   It turns out the cop doesn’t have a good work record, being rated unacceptable and getting reprimands.  A female University of North Dakota student arrested for attempting to sell drugs on campus.

Ohio: Official video report National Guard Counterdrug Task Force Airman who lost her brother to opioids:

Oklahoma: The state Bureau of Narcotics held a public meeting at Southern Tech about Current Oklahoma Drug Threats, one news report said only 13 people attended.  The DEA arrested a retired Edmond cop for money laundering and selling illegal steroids out of his home and through local businesses, for at least three years. At least two other people were also arrested. Police say the operation involved drop-shipping, PO Boxes for fake companies, PayPal accounts, bank accounts under fake names, and auto-shops.

Oregon:   In another case involving a Chevy Tahoe from California, two men finally pled guilty to using the upscale Sport Utility Vehicle to traffic cocaine and marijuana from California to Alaska. They got caught in Medford, in April of last year, as they were driving the drug-stuffed SUV up to Alaska.  Their sentencing scheduled for June.  News reports say a ‘secret’ federal drug raid in Portland almost backfired. The DEA is confiscating discovered drug stashes without the dealers knowing, and intentionally making it look like another drug gang stole the merchandise (under what is called a ‘delayed notice warrant’), however, it almost went bad when an innocent storage warehouse manager almost got killed by upset drug dealers. 

Pennsylvania: State Police report that for the first quarter of 2018 they captured almost $6-million USD worth of drugs, and for all of last year they captured $41-million worth of illegal drugs!  According to a study released in November 2017, drug deaths in Pennsylvania are expected to increase by 70% over the next seven years!

Puerto Rico:  Perhaps because of its crashed economy and damage caused by back-to-back hurricanes, the island territory is now a distribution point for drugs from South America heading towards the United States.  Last year a record 29887-kilos (65,890-pounds) of narcotics were captured! 

Personnel off-load $13-million worth of heroin from Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon in San Juan, 18APR2018

Rhode Island: In comparison to other states, only 11-kilos (25-pounds) of drugs were turned in on National Take Back Day.   After years of increases in prisoner opioid addictions Rhode Island began screening prisoners for opioids and treating them for addiction, which proves drugs are easy to get in prison. A local TV station discovered that drugs from China and Mexico are being shipped in via the U.S. Postal Service. 

South Carolina: Two ‘guests’ of the Department of Corrections get to spend yet more time behind bars after they were caught running a multi-state drug dealing op right outta their prison cell!  On top of that, 14 now former prison guards, nurse, groundskeeper and service workers now indicted for drug smuggling and their connection to prison riots that left seven prisoners dead!  In yet another case involving prison guards, prisoners at Broad River Correctional Institute claim guards (who were also members of drug gangs) were forcing them to buy drugs and have sex!  Some taxpayers are blaming increased prison guard crimes on the state’s so called prison reforms!  The now former Walhalla Police Chief facing charges of extorting drugs from his own personnel!  

South Dakota: Police report increased trafficking of ganja from Minnesota, the most recent involved 38.5-kilos (85-pounds) found in a Toyota Tundra from Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

Tennessee: The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office tipped off by U.S. Postal Inspectors, which resulted in the captured $1.3-million USD worth of Xanax (Alprazolam).

 

Texas:  57 ‘white’ gang bangers arrested for kidnapping and selling meth.  A 46 years old man was convicted of beating young children, including his own, into packaging meth for him to sell.

Utah: Two men facing charges of making fake prescription drugs (fentanyl) and selling them online, making $2.8-million USD in less than a year.  Orem Police arrested a man from California with $1.5-million worth of meth.

Vermont: The tiny state of Vermont (with 30-thousand estimated addicts) got 32-million tax dollars to fight opioids: “Vermont was one of the first states to receive and benefit from this program because I could argue that we were prepared for it. Our little state could use it and make the program work.”-Patrick Leahy, U.S. Senator

Virginia: State Department of Health reports a ten years high in drug O-D deaths, 1-thousand-534 in 2017!  Fentanyl caused more than half the deaths.

Washington: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) intercepted a package shipped from Seattle to Yalobusha County, Mississippi.  It contained 5.8-kilos (13-pounds) of pills, THC oil and ‘weed’.  But wait, the man arrested for the postal crime claims there’s still 2-kilos (5-pounds) of weed in the mail!

Washington DC:  The CDC reports that DC is number one in the country for drug O-D deaths, a 106.9% increase from 2015 to 2016!  The U.S. Surgeon General begging all citizens to carry the anti-overdose med naloxone!  The FDA banned the sale of bulk powdered caffeine.

West Virginia: Perhaps because of guilt, drug maker Pfizer (through its Pfizer Foundation) gave the state half-a-million dollars to help treat drug addicted moms and their babies!  The CDC says West Virginia has the highest rate of babies born addicted to drugs!  West Virginia also broke its record for drug O-D deaths, 909 in 2017!

Wisconsin:  Drug addiction causing a doubling of children being pushed into the state’s foster care system, since 2010.  27669-kilos (61-thousand pounds) of pills were collected on Take Back Day.

Wyoming: A repeat offender was caught, as he was entering prison, with a bag of opioid pills shoved up his butt.

Canada: USS Pearl Harbor arrived in Victoria, British Columbia 12APR2018.  Commander Ben Miller stated “This visit helps to demonstrate the continuing commitment the U.S. has to our long-standing and important relationship with Canada……   the port visit gives the crew of Pearl Harbor a chance for some rest and relaxation…”  That taxpayer funded R&R includes visits to the Craigdarroch Castle, British Columbia Parliament buildings, Butchart Gardens, Fisherman’s Warf Park and the Fisgard Lighthouse.

With a group of volunteers, the Denton Program and the Air Force together are making this possible for those in need. I couldn’t do it alone. I am just a facilitator.”-Kathleen Price, Mission of Love Foundation

Haiti: On 07APR2018, the U.S. Coast Guard captured and repatriated about 50 migrants from Haiti.

By coming together we are able to exponentially provide security and safety for citizens in Mexico and the U.S.”-Juventino F. Pacheco, Assistant Chief Patrol Agent, Foreign Operations Branch, Tucson Sector Border Patrol  (THE WALL IS GOING UP, U.S. TAXPAYERS ARE FUNDING IT!)

United States:

So much for ObamaCare, operation Arctic Care involves U.S. regular forces, Alaska National Guard and British empire Canadian military forces providing taxpayer funded medical help to ‘underserved regions’ of Alaska.

This is not a CBRN drill, on 11APR2018 several nuke waste drums exploded at the U.S. Navy’s Idaho National Laboratory. Initially it was reported as one drum, but a week later it was revealed that at least three more drums exploded.  The nuke waste is said to have come to Idaho from Rocky Flats Plant in  Colorado, in the 1960s.  Contractor Fluor Idaho stated that the decades old waste had just been re-packed into 55-gallon drums the morning of the explosions. The latest nuke waste explosions are significant because the explosions at New Mexico’s WIPP (in 2014) might have involved nuke waste packaged at the Idaho National Laboratory.

Army National Guard is being used as a guinea pig for the new Human Resources, Pay and Talent Management software system, to be phased in over the next 360 days.  The Pennsylvania Army National Guard will be the first to try it out: “We’re going to be the first organization in the DoD [Department of Defense],  maybe the Federal government, that will have HR on their mobile device. This is going to be the largest HR system in the world … the largest roll-out of Oracle systems for all Soldiers.”-Colonel Darby McNulty, Project Manager for the Integrated Personnel and Pay System

On 21APR2018, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard conducted Safety Stand-down 2018, apparently over growing concerns about the safety and survival of personnel: “What we do is inherently risky and we send our condolences to those personally affected by the recent tragic incidents in our military aviation community.”-Chief Warrant Officer 5 Joe Sandbakken
