Poor researchers spread misinformation about a military plan to deploy on US soil and fire live rounds if Civil Unrest occurs…
October 8, 2019
Update from yesterday: People are still pushing this misinformation, so we pushed this notification back up to help spread the word.
If these poor researchers bothered to read the message in its entirety, they would see this tidbit:"GENTEXT/RMKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN cancels MARADMIN 300/14. In accordance with (IAW) REF A, this MARADMIN provides guidance for the activation of Reserve Component (RC) Marines under §12304a, Title 10, "
In no way, shape or form does this activate Marine reserves right now. This is just a renewal of a 5 year old standing order on the process for activating USMC in the event of disasters, etc... The old order referenced is from 2014 MARADMIN 300/14.
Basically, this misinformation is being pushed by someone that simply can't understand what this MARADMIN message is saying because they lack the ability to read it themselves, or someone hoping you are too stupid to realise they are spouting utter fear-porn to make themselves more relevant.
DHS acting secretary Kevin McAleenan walks off stage after Synthetic protesters disrupt event…
October 8, 2019
Whenever you see protests that are this organized, you will come to realize that they are probably not authentic. For example, this disruption was organized by CREDO Mobile, Sanctuary DMV, Justice For Muslims Collective, and La ColectiVA. These groups are often associated with Never Again Action, and Movimiento Cosecha, groups that we exposed as being part of the Neo-Progressive Machine funded by dark money brokers like George Soros and propped up by shills like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In fact, with just a little research we found that CREDO Mobile has ties to FRM. Governor Jerry Brown and billionaire Tom Steyer. Their super pac has received funding from Patricia Bauman, who's own foundation's board of directors includes shills such as David Brock (from George Soros funded Media Matters), Anne Bartley (associated with Rockefeller family) and Deepak Bhargava (board member of George Soro's Open Society Foundations, and executive director for Center for Community Change, which received a $3 million donation from George Soros during the 2016 election). Bauman's foundation also supports organizations such as Greenpeace and the Sierra Club (Sierra Club houses and finances the Sunshine Movement who co-wrote AOCs green new deal)

October 8, 2019
Adding yet another layer of conflict to the US-China relationship (in addition to trade tensions, there's also Hong Kong and Taiwan, the South China Sea, etc.), China's state broadcaster, CCTV, said it would end broadcasts of NBA games in China, ensuring that the spat that exploded out of nowhere when Daryl Morey tweeted (then swiftly deleted) a message of support for the Hong Kong protesters. Despite the league's insistence that Morey didn't speak for either the Houston Rockets nor the NBA as a whole, Commissioner Adam Silver's later defense of Morey (after coming under intense public and political pressure) and his right to freedom of expression inflamed tensions with Beijing.
And the Chinese state has decided to retaliate by effectively pulling the plug on the NBA in China, decimating viewership for one of the most popular leagues in the country. Every year, some 800 million Chinese watch NBA programming.

October 8, 2019
Although the suspect’s motives were initially unclear, authorities are now treating the crime as an act of terrorism, public broadcaster ZDF reported, citing security officials. After dragging a driver of a white Mercedes truck from his vehicle, the suspect is said to have accelerated into a group of cars stopped at a traffic light. The attack damaged eight vehicles and scattered debris across the road.
Swedish King Carl Gustaf removes grandchildren from royal house…
October 8, 2019
The decision by King Carl XVI Gustaf means the children no longer have the title of royal highness and are not expected to perform official royal duties. They will remain members of the royal family and retain their titles of dukes and duchesses. The change has not affected the king's two grandchildren who are in direct line to the throne. Observers say the move reflects a wider view that there is no need to pay so many members of the royal family for official duties.
20 new moons discovered orbiting Saturn. Saturn now has 82 moons, knocking Jupiter down to second place in the moon count…
October 8, 2019
One of the new moons has the farthest known orbit around Saturn, and all are similar in size, with diameters around three miles (5 kilometers)... Seventeen of the new moons orbit Saturn backward — or in retrograde — compared to the planet's other natural satellites.
The moons were discovered by a team led by Scott S. Sheppard at the Carnegie Institution for Science and using the Subaru Telescope on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea...
Scientists believe that the function of zebras’ stripes are to deter insects, so a team of researchers painted black and white stripes on cows. They found that it reduced the number of biting flies landing on the cows by more than 50%…

Also really cool from the article:
"The cattle industry commonly sprays pesticides to combat biting flies, but the researchers say that painting stripes with non-toxic materials could be cheaper, healthier for livestock, and better for the environment."
FBI warns of major ransomware attacks as criminals go “big-game hunting”…
Alabama Hospitals Pay Out in Ransomware Attack Amid FBI Warning of More to Come...
October 8, 2019
This pronouncement will come as no surprise to anyone who's followed the wide-ranging ransomware attacks against cities, counties, state agencies, and school districts over the course of 2019. While some of the most publicized attacks—such as the Baltimore City "RobbinHood" attack in May—have appeared to be opportunistic, many more have been more sophisticated and targeted. And these attacks are but the most visible part of an upsurge in digital crime seen by commercial information security firms thus far in 2019. In fact, sophisticated criminal attacks have nearly fully eclipsed state actors' activity—despite there not being any reduction in state-sponsored attacks.
Data from CrowdStrike has shown a rise in what the firm refers to as "big-game hunting" over the past 18 months. These attacks focus on high-value data or assets within organizations that are especially sensitive to downtime—so the motivation to pay a ransom is consequently very high...

‘Whistleblower’ Attorneys Offered Rate Discount for Trump Informants, Ranted Against President on Social Media…
October 8, 2019
A search of the Twitter account for the law firm’s founder and managing partner, Andrew Bakaj, finds rabid anti-Trump posts such as repeated advocacy for Trump cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution over claimed competency issues... Bakaj founded the Compass Rose Legal Group, which is representing the central so-called whistleblower on the matter of Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president. Bakaj previously interned for Hillary Clinton and did work for other Democrats... On Feb 15, 2017, toward the start of Trump’s presidency, Bakaj and the firm each tweeted about the discounted pricing for potential Trump administration informants:

Japan’s fertility crisis even worse than before as births show the sharpest drop in births in 30 years…
October 8, 2019
Births fell 5.9% from January to July year on year, as the pool of women of childbearing age shrinks and more women delay having children or decide not to have them at all, figures from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare show. During this period, the total number of births was 518,590. For the whole of 2018, the official tally of births was 918,397, a figure which however excludes babies born to foreigners in Japan and Japanese babies born abroad.

Several of the asylum seekers told The Los Angeles Times of how they had been threatened and intimidated for being gay, while one asylum seeker, Melisa, a 27-year-old from Honduras, said she had been struck by a stranger while simply standing outside a pharmacy and talking with friends... While Castro had reportedly left the Texas border assured that the asylum seekers he had aided would have their cases processed by immigration officials, hours later, he learned that they had been sent back to Mexico.
Witness in Trump-Ukraine Matter Ordered Not to Speak in Impeachment Inquiry…
Update: House panels to issue subpoena to Gordon Sondland...
October 8, 2019
The Trump administration directed a top American diplomat involved in its pressure campaign on Ukraine not to appear Tuesday morning for a scheduled deposition with House Democrats conducting an impeachment inquiry, according to two people briefed on the matter.
The decision to block Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, from speaking with investigators is certain to provoke an immediate conflict with potentially profound consequences for the White House and President Trump. House Democrats have repeatedly warned that if the administration tries to interfere with their investigation, it will be construed as obstruction, a charge they see as potentially worthy of impeachment.High Fructose And High-fat Diet Damages Liver Mitochondria…
October 8, 2019
It's worth understanding that this study supplemented the animal diets with either glucose or fructose. But humans drinking sugary beverages are never drinking just one or the other. High fructose corn syrup is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Sucrose (table sugar) is 50/50. Even fruit sugar content ranges from 40/60 to 60/40. Most people are only going to get "straight" glucose from breaking down starches, like rice or pasta, not from beverages.
One really interesting finding in this paper is that they believe their results may be complicated by the fact that so many commercially available "high-fat diet" rodent chows are also high in sugar. The lowest sugar one they could find was still nearly 10% sucrose by dry weight. So keep that in mind next time you see a "high-fat diet" study--they're never just testing high-fat diets.
In the meantime, keep in mind that this study says nothing about corn syrup versus other sugary sweeteners like cane sugar.
