‘Just Like Regular Pork’: FDA Grants ‘Investigational’ Approval for Pork Products Made From Gene-Edited Pigs
May 11th, 2023Via: The Defender:
Describing it as the “future of how we need to feed people,” a group of scientists and researchers from Washington State University (WSU) enjoyed some “smoky, and mildly salty” pork sausage earlier this month — derived from gene-edited pigs.
The WSU research team recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow pork meat from gene-edited pigs into the human food supply — resulting in the celebratory barbecue featuring sausage with “a good snap to the casings … just like regular pork.”
The FDA approval, which does not appear on the agency’s website, is investigational and limited to the specific pigs raised by the research team for this purpose. It is touted as evidence 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.”
However, some scientists and food safety advocates question the safety of the gene-editing technology — CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) — used by the WSU researchers and backed by investors like Bill Gates, and wonder if the products produced by the technology are really safe for human consumption.
The Censorship-Industrial Complex: Top 50 Organizations To Know
May 11th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
The “Censorship-Industrial Complex” is just the Military-Industrial Complex reborn for the “hybrid warfare” age.
Much like the war industry, pleased to call itself the “defense” sector, the “anti-disinformation” complex markets itself as merely defensive, designed to fend off the hostile attacks of foreign cyber-adversaries who unlike us have “military limitations.” The CIC, however, is neither wholly about defense, nor even mostly focused on foreign “disinformation.” It’s become instead a relentless, unified messaging system aimed primarily at domestic populations, who are told that political discord at home aids the enemy’s undeclared hybrid assault on democracy.
CIA Helped Recruit Signers For ‘Russian Disinfo’ Laptop Letter That Influenced 2020 Election
May 11th, 2023Via: Epoch Times:
A member of the internal board that reviews materials written for publication by present and former employees of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) helped solicit signatures for the October 2020 letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” according to a new congressional report.
The letter was signed by 51 former intelligence officials and appeared five days after the New York Post described in a news story based on materials found on a laptop once owned by Hunter Biden how President Joe Biden knew that his son was using access to his father’s position and influence to generate wealth for the family.
The letter was repeatedly cited by Biden and his surrogates during the concluding weeks of the 2020 presidential campaign against then-President Donald Trump and was used by social media giants Facebook, Twitter, and others to justify censoring the New York Post story and favorable responses to it.
UFOs and Nukes: Whistleblower Mario Woods (USAF Retired) Testifies to Pentagon’s UFO Program AARO
May 10th, 2023The interview below is nearly three hours long. Chris Lehto made a one hour summary video if you need something shorter.
This is a very compelling case.
My overall takeaway from this is that the military establishment is never, ever going to reveal what it actually knows about the phenomenon. And it knows a lot.
Also, my cynicism about the CIA/New York Times/Tom Delonge/Lue Elizondo fake disclosure nonsense in recent years is absolutely justified.

Flesh-Eating Street Drug in Los Angeles
May 10th, 2023Via: Los Angeles Times:
Amid troubling signs that a dangerous sedative known as “tranq” has spread even further into the local street drug supply, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has launched a pilot program to better document the drug’s presence.
Xylazine is an animal tranquilizer that began appearing several years ago in illicit pills and powders on the East Coast. It’s been linked to deaths across the country and can cause human tissue to rot, leaving users with grisly wounds that sometimes lead to amputations.

A fifth of the population was legally classified as unclean. They were barred from most public spaces, including theatres, restaurants, movies, pubs, clubs, swimming pools, sporting events, concerts, conventions, etc.
To access public facilities, people had to carry a digital mark with them so authorities could confirm they weren’t unclean.
The unclean were fired and barred from most jobs: education, healthcare, courts – all public sector work, most major union jobs and a wide smattering of major private employers. When they were fired, the unclean were denied employment insurance, the reasoning being that they had been fired for cause on account of being unclean.
The unclean were banned from travel on trains, planes, and chartered boats. They had no legal means of leaving the country. Even if they wanted to, they could not escape the country that obviously hated them so.
It became illegal to socialize with the unclean. They weren’t allowed to attend weddings or funerals, or visit sick relatives or friends in hospital.
Special laws were made for the unclean subjecting them to house arrest if they were around a person who had recently had a positive PCR test. The unclean had to continue to cover their faces in public when universal masking was dropped.
It became socially acceptable to wish death upon the unclean in social media and in major news organizations. Public health figures and other politicians gave press conferences to shame and insult the unclean. The public developed shared pejorative names for them, and relished in insulting the unclean.
News media regularly ran polls asking if the unclean should be arrested or fined. Public figures openly and proudly spoke about witholding medically necessary healthcare from the unclean – letting them die. The unclean were removed from organ transplant lists, condemned to almost certain death.
No end date for these measures was ever suggested, no timeline given. To the contrary, this was called the “new normal”.
Criticizing any of these developments made you a social pariah, and likely cost you most of your friendships and family relations, if not your job.

Tucker Carlson: What Happened To Building 7?
May 9th, 2023Via: RealClear Politics:
During an interview in March with Clayton Morris’s “Redacted” podcast, then-FOX News host Tucker Carlson asked questions about the official story of 9/11.
TUCKER CARLSON: They’re not offended by conspiracy theories. If you go on TV tonight and say, “I think the Earth is flat,” people just laugh at you. They don’t care if you think the Earth is flat. It’s not a threat to anyone.
But if you say, like, “What actually happened with Building 7? Like, that is weird, right? It doesn’t — like, what is that?”
If you were to say something like that on television, they’d flip out. They would flip out. So you’d, like, lose your job over that. Why? Why? It’s my country.
It’s an attack on my country. Can I ask? I don’t really understand. Do buildings actually collapse? No, they — maybe they do. I don’t know. But, like, why can’t I ask questions about that? Anything you’re not allowed to ask questions about is something you should be asking more questions about, as far as I’m concerned.

AI Chatbot to Replace Human Order-Takers at Wendy’s Drive-Thru
May 9th, 2023Via: Techspot:
Your next interaction at the drive-thru could be with an AI chatbot instead of a human order-taker, and you might not even know it. Fast-food giant Wendy’s has partnered with Google to trial an artificial intelligence chatbot at one of its restaurants in its home state of Ohio. The chatbot will be trained to understand how customers typically order items from the menu and interact in a natural way.
According to Wendy’s Chief Executive Todd Penegor, the test bot will be “very conversational” and some customers might not even realize they aren’t talking to a human employee.
Software engineers with Wendy’s have been working with the search giant to tweak its large language model for keywords and phrases specific to menu ordering. The company’s milkshakes are known as Frosties, for example, but some customers might simply refer to them as a milkshake. Other Wendy’s slang including “biggie bag” is also being integrated into the chatbot’s vocabulary.
