European Net Zero achieved two things:

1. Deindustrialization in Europe due to high energy costs, many well-paid jobs lost.

2. The same products come now from Asia, but with higher emissions to build and ship. Cars, for example, cause 70% more emissions.

Isn’t that genius?

Worth noting that since Donald Trump & Marco Rubio shut the USAID program down not a single country in Latin America has voted for a Leftist leader again.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Lo que debía ser una dinámica divertida para los coleccionistas se ha convertido en la prueba definitiva de que, como sociedad, no estamos preparados para nada.
La nueva promoción de Coca-Cola, que incluye cromos coleccionables al reverso de sus etiquetas, ha sacado a la luz la peor cara de nuestra sociedad, donde por un pedazo de plástico, la gente prefiere robar que pagar.
Definitivamente no estamos preparados para vivir en una sociedad civilizada
Estamos demostrando que, si algo no está encadenado al piso, el ecuatoriano se lo roba.
¡Qué asco y qué vergüenza nos debería dar como país!

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.

The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.

The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.

The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.

The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.

The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.

The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.

He is confident.

He has always been confident.

The confidence has never been the problem.

The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

🚨 Conmoción en Argentina. Ángel, niño de 4 años, suplicaba NO volver con su madre Mariela Altamirano por miedo (tenía antecedentes de maltrato). La Justicia lo obligó de todos modos. Apareció muerto con signos de traumatismos en la cabeza.

El sistema judicial puso por encima los dogmas igualitarios y de “vínculo materno” a toda costa en vez de la seguridad del menor.

This was Lebanon in the 1960s, when it was still a Christian country and known as the Paris of the Middle East.

Lebanon was created to be a Christian homeland for persecuted Christians in the region. But like naive Westerners today, it decided to be multicultural and include Muslims in the country.

Once Muslims became the majority, they started a war to overthrow the Christians who welcomed them, and the country has not known peace ever since.

Lebanon is the ultimate example that coexistence between radically different cultures is impossible.

Bill Maher: "They are systematically k*lling the Christians in Nigeria. They've k*lled over 100,000 since 2009."

"This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are attempting to wipe out the Christian population."

The new Japanese government has rejected the construction of Muslim cemeteries on its territory. No Muslim dead body will be allowed to be buried in Japanese soil. No new mosque will be constructed in Japan.

Japan seems to have recognized the danger timely.

Un cristiano copto egipcio explica cómo Egipto se convirtió al islam:

"Somos uno de los primeros cristianos del mundo. El islam se impuso por la espada.
Mataron a los hombres, violaron a las mujeres y esclavizaron a los niños.
Egipto pasó del 0% al 90% de musulmanes. El Islam es un culto al sexo, la perversión y la violencia."

Vegano: "Los humanos no estamos diseñados para comer carne. ¡Mira nuestros dientes!"

Humanos:
- pH ácido del estómago 1,5 (igual que los buitres)
- Ciego pequeño (no puede fermentar celulosa como los herbívoros)
- Tracto digestivo corto (rasgo carnívoro)
- Ojos orientados hacia adelante (rasgo de depredador)
- Capacidad de lanzar lanzas con precisión (adaptación única para la caza)

Gorilas (herbívoros reales):
- pH del estómago 4-5
- Ciego inmenso para plantas fermentadoras.
- Tracto digestivo extremadamente largo
- Comer 18 kg de vegetación diariamente
- Los parásitos realizan el 60% de su digestión.

"Pero nuestras muelas planas..."

Sirven para masticar médula ósea y triturar cráneos para obtener materia cerebral.
