In the latest research, mothers of children with high levels of screen time were more likely to be younger, have never given birth before, have a lower household income, have a lower education level and have postpartum depression.
This paragraph highlights another factor in developmental delay - non-present parents (or other caregivers).
The legal reason for hearing it at all was whistleblower protections. That was what the committee was hearing about, were whistleblower protections actually violated? Watch AOC's line of questioning, it's extremely telling.
The committee exists to oversee exactly that law because the people who would violate it are government employees. The reality of his claims are irrelevant, and the validity of his claims is also irrelevant.
The questions are "did her feel he had a valid concern to report", yes, and "did he report it through the appropriate channels" (we don't really know, this was exactly the topic of AOC's questions, and this made Grusch visibly nervous), and finally, "did he suffer duress from superiors for having made those duly obligated reports?". The answer to the last one depends entirely on what those proper channels are. You do not have protections by simply going to the public. You have to inform superiors up the chain of command.
It all feels incredibly tailored to make Congress a media side show while carefully dodging culpability for doing so. The entire point of "well I didn't see anything, people told me and I believed them" is just far too conveniently placed, the stories he has all fall in line with what the alien sub culture already had well established in their lore. Too too convenient. I believe AOC was on to that because while she's smart, it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.
What do you mean the people with power to do something won’t? Last I heard, the billion class are buying a bunch of fancy refurbished underground rdecommissioned nuclear silos. They want a safe place to weather the coming societal collapse in comfort. Apparently, these fancy silos come with a huge security force that would never turn on the monied people locked away underground.
•Dirty wounds from injuries caused by explosions and metal fragments come into contact with environmental bacteria, dust and soil which harbor drug resistant bacteria. The toxic metals from explosives can also promote the development and spread of drug resistance in bacteria.
•The overwhelmed healthcare system has broken infection control measures, lack of laboratory testing and heavy use of broad-spectrum antibiotics to keep injured people alive. This promotes the growth and spread of drug resistant bacteria.
•As injured people are evacuated and move through different healthcare facilities, they can pick up and spread multi-drug resistant infections caused by nosocomial bacteria that exist in hospitals.
•A previous study found that bacteria isolated from Ukrainian military hospitals had much higher rates of antibiotic resistance compared to civilian hospitals in Ukraine and Europe. This indicates that the conditions of war are exacerbating the problem.
•The case of the Ukrainian soldier with 6 extensively drug resistant bacterial infections highlights the increased risk of drug resistant infections due to the conflict in Ukraine. Healthcare providers need to implement proper infection control to prevent the spread of these bacteria.
This was reported on in Norway too, which accepts injured Ukrainian soldiers to help with longer term treatment.
Norwegian hospitals just expects any injured soldier to be infected with multi-resistant bacteria and isolated them immediately according to strict protocols. And that’s perhaps the most important step in avoiding spread that treatment in Ukraine just has no chance to do during war time.
In fact, it very well might be. I recall reading about a study done a year or two back that concluded that a fleet of high-altitude aircraft injecting calcium carbonate particulates into the stratosphere could counteract anthropogenic climate change for a cost of about $2 billion per year.
Cuts to the science budget have continued; the directors of several research institutes have been replaced by individuals who are sympathetic to the president; and in 2021 arrest warrants were issued for 31 academics at a science advisory organization critical of the government, accusing them of organized crime, money laundering and other offences. The charges were dropped, but the Academic Freedom Index recently highlighted Mexico as one of 19 countries where academic freedom has significantly declined over the past decade, and international observers have expressed concerns over the erosion of democratic institutions.
Romney was a corporate stooge, but at least you knew it was just going to be more rich get richer shit. This new variety is deadset on torturing people instead of just making them poor.
"Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking.
“Witness what Henry did in Cambodia—the fruits of his genius for statesmanship—and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
The full article is quite long - Kissinger lived for 100 years. But here are a couple of excerpts:
In 1968, Lyndon Johnson agreed to peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese in tacit recognition of the nightmare he, building on the works of his two immediate predecessors, brought to life in Vietnam. Kissinger, an influential Cold War defense intellectual at Harvard, had access to members of the diplomatic delegation to the Paris talks. He used it to feed information from the negotiations to Richard Nixon’s presidential campaign — a campaign whose defeated GOP rival, Nelson Rockefeller, Kissinger advised — and despite Kissinger’s closer political ties to the coterie around Hubert Humphrey, Nixon’s Democratic rival.
Nixon ran for president claiming to have a secret plan to end the war. His advisers told Hersh they were deeply afraid that Johnson and Hanoi would reach an accord before the election. It would save lives in Vietnam, American and Vietnamese, but it would undermine Nixon’s hopes of exploiting the explosion in domestic antiwar sentiment. Nixon gratefully took what Kissinger gave him to make the U.S.’ proxy regime in Saigon, whose regime peace would destabilize, more intransigent. No agreement was reached until 1973, and the war ended in American humiliation with Hanoi’s 1975 victory.
“It took some balls to give us those tips,” Richard Allen, a foreign policy researcher on the Nixon campaign, later reflected to Hersh. After all, it was “a pretty dangerous thing for [Kissinger] to be screwing around with the national security.” Every single person who died in Vietnam between autumn 1968 and the Fall of Saigon — and all who died in Laos and Cambodia, where Nixon and Kissinger secretly expanded the war within months of taking office, as well as all who died in the aftermath, like the Cambodian genocide their destabilization set into motion — died because of Henry Kissinger. We will never know what might have been, the question Kissinger’s apologists, and those in the U.S. foreign policy elite who imagine themselves standing in Kissinger’s shoes, insist upon when explaining away his crimes. We can only know what actually happened. What actually happened was that Kissinger materially sabotaged the only chance for an end to the war in 1968 as a hedged bet to ensure he would achieve power in Nixon’s administration or Humphrey’s. A true tally will probably never be known of everyone who died so Kissinger could be national security adviser.
And pillaging and plundering the words wealth as if their own blood sweat and tears built anything, or repaired anything, or grew anything on this planet. SMFH
