Legendary fitness guru and beloved icon of the 1980s Richard Simmons died Saturday, just one day after turning 76. According to ABC News, few details were immediately available about Simmons’ death, but the “Los Angeles Police Department responded to his home after a 911 call from his housekeeper and found Simmons dead, police sources told ABC News. He appears to have died of natural causes, and no foul play is suspected, the sources said.” Just prior to the turn of the century, sporadic attempts were made to improve sanitation. Cities began to pave roads, institute garbage collection, and construct garbage dumps. The early water treatment plants had systems that were inadequately designed and often became clogged with human excrement and animal debris from the street. It’s difficult to imagine the state of filth that Americans had become accustomed to living in the early 1900s. The 1912 annual report from the New York City Health Department included, “… the removal of 20,000 dead horses, mules, donkeys and cattle from the streets in addition to nearly half a million smaller animals such as pigs, hogs, calves, and sheep, which amounted to disposal of more than 5 million pounds of spoiled poultry, fish, pork and beef which eventually ended up in the municipal water supplies.” In 1872, the introduction of water filtration in the US was a significant step towards improving public health. Initially aimed at addressing discolouration and removing bad taste and foul odour, filtration soon proved to be a game-changer. It not only eliminated turbidity, foul colour and nearly 99% of the swarming bacteria but also set a new standard for the “quality” of treated water. However, when outbreaks continued to occur, chemists experimented with several disinfecting methods, including boiling, ultraviolet rays, ozone, copper, silver and chlorine. However, cost considerations and ease of use produced a clear winner: chlorine. By 1868, more than 95% of Chicago’s inhabitants had been inoculated with the smallpox vaccine. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, vaccination was required to receive relief supplies. Despite a near-100% vaccination rate, the city was hit with a devastating smallpox epidemic in 1872. More than 2,000 persons contracted smallpox and more than 25% of those infected died. The fatality among children under five was the highest ever recorded. Vaccinating the entire city did not create herd immunity, and it did not protect the population from contracting smallpox. Despite these – and many other failures – vaccination is continually promoted as one of the “greatest medical achievements of modern civilisation.” The real heroes, the technology that changed the course of history and public health, are rarely mentioned: clean water, sewage treatment for municipalities and electricity to support refrigeration. Rotary International, the WHO, UNICEF, GAVI, WEF, and the Gates Foundation have poured tens of billions of dollars into vaccinating malnourished children who lack sanitation, water, refrigeration and education. Instead of pushing money into polio, measles and rotavirus vaccines, think of the global problems that would have been solved if those same dollars had been allocated to the most important health intervention in the world’s history: clean water. https://expose-news.com/2024/07/14/clean-water-saved-the-world-not-vaccination/ Major “IT outages” are being reported across the world, affecting banking systems, emergency services and airlines’ communications. The FAA website currently shows seven airports closed, including LaGuardia International in New York City, Logan International in Boston, and Harry Reid in Las Vegas. The groundings and closures are expected to last until at least 5am EST and are “Due to Airline Request.” Microsoft systems are reportedly getting the “Blue Screen of Death” and seem to have occurred after a “faulty update” from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which is widely used on Microsoft system according to The Verge. According to the Alaska State Troopers Facebook page, Alaska is experiencing a “technology-related outage” across the state. AZ Central is reporting 911 and other emergency systems are being impacted by the outage as well. Palm Beach County 911 systems are experiencing outages due to a “technical issue.” Hospital systems across the globe are affected by this outage and reports are flooding in on social media platforms of entire hospital networks losing their communications. This story is developing… I forgot to put the link. It is: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/widespread-it-outages-reported-across-globe-major-us/ DEI is falling out of style. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in police custody, many companies made highly publicized vows about “diversity, equity and inclusion” initiatives filled with all the typical left-wing rhetoric about race, having “conversations” and “doing better.” Doing better how exactly? Focusing on your customer base and delivering quality service? Four years later, many businesses have realized that focusing on skin color or sex is not the greatest idea. For example, Microsoft just laid off its entire internal DEI team, according to a Business Insider report on Monday. Bloomberg reported that Zoom laid off its DEI staff in February. Meanwhile, Google and Meta made DEI cuts last year, according to CNBC. It’s almost as if instituting identity-based hiring practices and promoting division in the workplace aren’t so great for business, no? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/microsoft-reportedly-lays-dei-team-brutal-message/ I sure would hate to have to run or manage a business under DEI restrictions. Olympics officials in Paris intend to nix air conditioning in their 2024 Olympic Village, but the athletes are reportedly not very pleased with the woke scheme and are making plans to subvert the drive for “sustainability.” Officials are planning what they call the “greenest ever Games” for this year’s Olympics. They have opted not to install air-conditioning in the residences where the athletes will stay while training and competing in this year’s international games. Instead, engineers have devised a different cooling plan, which consists of pipes of running water lying under the quarters’ floorboards. Other countries that have confirmed their decision to bring their own AC units include Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Japan, and Australia. Indeed, Australia noted that its Olympic officials are spending $100,000 on AC units. A British farmer has said that the government has offered a scheme to pay farmers not to supply food for three years. This scheme is part of a larger trend where farmers are being financially incentivised by the state to reduce food production. Why would they do that? Last week, TrailBlazingTruths posted a video clip on TikTok of Cornish farmer Keith Andrews explaining how the UK government is incentivising farmers not to grow food. “We’ve been offered £2,500 to join a scheme for the next three years where we don’t supply you any food,” he said. “I’m going to plough a field. I’m going to put spring barley in. I’m going to get £440 off the Government, per acre. Then when it comes to crop size, leave it [to] rot in the ground. “So, I don’t get no straw for the cattle, you don’t get nothing for your bread, for everything we make. “I can also plant bee mix which is for birds and bees. I can plant wild bird seed which is for wild birds. “I can also be paid to buy a tonne of bird seed, like anybody puts in their garden for the birds, and threw it out on the ground once a week. I can get paid for that. “My accountant says ‘do it’. The ELM schemes have the stated aim of “support[ing] the rural economy while achieving the goals of the 25 Year Environment Plan and a commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.” This alone tells us that the schemes have dubious origins and motives. “But what if you want some bread? You’ll have to get a loaf made from wheat that was grown abroad. And how’s that good for global warming?” https://expose-news.com/2024/07/23/british-farmers-are-being-paid-to-leave-crops/ Law enforcement authorities have identified over 7,000 people who stormed the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, for the Copa América soccer tournament final this month, the Qatari outlet BeIN Media reported on Tuesday, and many may face fines, prison, or even deportation. The Copa América is a quadrennial regional tournament pitting the national men’s teams of the Western Hemisphere against each other. The United States hosted this year’s tournament, which concluded with a final in which Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0. It is the world’s oldest soccer tournament. The final in Miami faced what was an unprecedented situation for the Hard Rock Stadium. Hours before the final match on July 14, thousands of people who did not possess tickets organized to storm the stadium. Violent mobs used physical force to overpower the minimal security presence at the stadium, stampeding through barricades, preventing fans – some who had paid thousands of dollars for tickets – from taking their seats. Some fans wearing Colombian soccer jerseys were filmed crawling into the stadium’s ventilation system to sneak in. One fan, a Salvadoran man wearing an Argentine jersey, told an Argentine news outlet that a woman in a Colombian jersey pistol-whipped him, stormed through the barricades, and entered the stadium with a gun, seemingly unimpeded by security. The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), the association in charge of the tournament, delayed the match for an hour in an attempt to expel the unticketed fans and allow rightful patrons to take their seats, but security failed to subdue the mob and the match began anyway. An estimated 8,000 people are believed to have illegally attended the match without tickets. “The identified fans now face severe consequences. They could face criminal charges leading to hefty fines or even imprisonment,” BeIN reported. Hernández said that police expect that, as they legally process those identified in the mob scene, many could lose their visas and their permanent residence if they have it. “It is possible that, if that person hooked their family to bring them to the United States, they may also ‘dismiss’ [deport] the family.” Some have called for the United States to lose hosting duties for the World Cup.... The 2022 World Cup, the last edition of the tournament, took place in the repressive Islamist emirate of Qatar, where no such mob scenes were documented. Anti-Israel activists vandalized Washington DC landmarks in protest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address before Congress Wednesday, defacing them with pro-Hamas slogans and pulling down the Stars and Stripes and replacing them with Palestinian flags. “Hamas is coming,” was scrawled in red across the face of the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain at Union Station, according to photographs published by the protest group Palestinian Assembly for Liberation-Awda. The graffiti was accented with the inverted red triangle favored in Hamas videos to denote the targeting of enemies. The foundation was covered in smaller triangles and slogans, such as “free Gaza”... The Liberty Bell replica Freedom Bell, American Legion, which stands across from the fountain, was completely covered in graffiti and red inverted triangles, according to Congressman Ryan Zinke. In a video posted to X, Zinke highlighted graffiti on the bell that said “Abolish the USA.” The American flags that flew at Union Station were pulled down from their poles and replaced with Palestinian flags, according to a video posted on Instagram by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). Timcast News documented that the US flags were set on fire. Congressman Dan Crenshaw said on X that later that night he and other members of the house with the aid of the Capitol Police raised new American Flags in their stead. There is a reason Jesus has not placed me in control.
