Will U.S. Government Spend $10 Trillion in One Year?
April 8th, 2021Via: ZeroHedge:
If the Biden Administration’s Infrastructure Program is signed into law, the U.S. will have spent nearly $10 TRILLION in a single year.
Yes, Trillion with a “T”
This is:
1) Equal to the GDPs of Japan, Germany and the U.K. combined.
2) More than the U.S. has spent during the last FIVE recessions combined.
3) More than the combined annual wages of all Americans.
That last one really gets me. If you add up all the money earned via wages by Americans in the 12 months, the U.S. Government has spent more money than that!
And finally, the ultimate jaw dropper…
The U.S. government will have spent an amount roughly equal to 50% of its GDP… in a single year.
And it’s going to unleash an inflationary storm.
Colorado: Mass COVID Vaccination Site Temporarily Shuts Down After Adverse Events
April 8th, 2021Via: The Denver Gazette:
More than 600 people with appointments were turned away from the “Vaccines for All” event at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday after a number of people had an adverse reaction to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to a statement from Centura Health.
The vaccination clinic — sponsored by Centura Health and the state —closed around 3:30 p.m. after more than 1,700 shots were administered. Kevin Massey, a spokesperson for Centura Health, said 11 people had an adverse reaction in the on-site observation site, which required two patients to be transported to a hospital for additional observation.
Your ‘Smart Home’ Is Watching – And Possibly Sharing Your Data with the Police
April 7th, 2021Via: Guardian:
You may have a roommate you have never met. And even worse, they are nosy. They track what you watch on TV, they track when you leave the lights on in the living room, and they even track whenever you use a key fob to enter the house. This is the reality of living in a “smart home”: the house is always watching, always tracking, and sometimes it offers that data up to the highest bidder – or even to police.
This problem stems from the US government buying data from private companies, a practice increasingly unearthed in media investigations though still quite shrouded in secrecy. It’s relatively simple in a country like the United States without strong privacy laws: approach a third-party firm that sells databases of information on citizens, pay them for it and then use the data however deemed fit.

Navy’s Top Officer Says ‘Drones’ That Swarmed Destroyers Remain Unidentified
April 6th, 2021Via: The WarZone:
At a roundtable with reporters today, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday, the U.S. Navy’s top officer, was asked about a series of bizarre incidents that took place in July 2019 and involved what only have been described as ‘drones’ swarming American destroyers off the coast of Southern California. The War Zone was the first to report in detail on this series of mysterious events after the incident was originally uncovered by filmmaker Dave Beaty.
Asked by Jeff Schogol of Task & Purpose if the Navy had positively identified any of the aircraft involved, Gilday responded by saying:
“No, we have not. I am aware of those sightings and as it’s been reported there have been other sightings by aviators in the air and by other ships not only of the United States, but other nations – and of course other elements within the U.S. joint force.”
“Those findings have been collected and they still are being analyzed,” Gilday added. “I don’t have anything new to report, Jeff, on what those findings have revealed thus far. But I will tell you we do have a well-established process in place across the joint force to collect that data and to get it to a separate repository for analysis.”

Protein Nanowire Device Generates Electricity from Moisture in Air
April 6th, 2021Very small outputs, but interesting effect.
Via: PhysOrg:
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from moisture in the air, a new technology they say could have significant implications for the future of renewable energy, climate change and in the future of medicine.
As reported today in Nature, the laboratories of electrical engineer Jun Yao and microbiologist Derek Lovley at UMass Amherst have created a device they call an “Air-gen.” or air-powered generator, with electrically conductive protein nanowires produced by the microbe Geobacter. The Air-gen connects electrodes to the protein nanowires in such a way that electrical current is generated from the water vapor naturally present in the atmosphere.
Fauci: Federal Government Won’t Require COVID Vaccine Passports *
April 5th, 2021* But you might need one to enter a grocery store.
I got a taste of what might be coming several weeks ago when I was prevented from entering a grocery store in New Zealand for refusing to sign in. I said no thanks / not mandatory. The security guard said, “Private property. If you don’t comply, you will not be allowed in.”
Ahh. So that’s how it’s going to go…
Anyway, it was quite trivial to handle the situation as it was back then, because the kapos seem to have IQs of around 70. Going forward, however, who knows…
Via: Axios:
Fauci noted that he believes that businesses or schools could require vaccine passports to enter their buildings.
“I’m not saying that they should or that they would, but I’m saying you could foresee how an independent entity might say, ‘well, we can’t be dealing with you unless we know you’re vaccinated,’ but it’s not going to be mandated from the federal government.”
