Also known as Egypt Fever, The West Nile Virus has been ripping through the Midwest and Texas this summer. As you can see from this article, 90% of the Mosquitoes tested were positive for West Nile.
The real question is, how can we absorb the tax burden of vaccinating all these mosquitoes?
Okay I am the first to admit that I am extremely skeptical when it comes to cryptozoology. I personally do not believe in the Loch Ness Monster, nor am I convinced the picture in this article is that of a mythical creature from 565AD.
However, I do love this sort of stuff, and I like mainstream attention to these topics taken in a serious way. Therefore, I am linking it for your review, despite my personal feelings of improbability.
It seems that not only is it in the Chicagoland area, but Dallas and the CDC are confirming a outbreak of West Nile in Dallas. But wait, didn’t the expert say that the chances were slim that West Nile posed a threat?
I was never convinced West Nile was a serious threat, but this story comes from theFunklord’s old stomping grounds. The mayor gets West Nile while recovering from Cancer. He was not the first, as apparently others have been effected in the neighboring towns.
Every article is the same:Â Some “rare” disease rears it head, an expert explains how the chances of the disease effecting anyone are “one-in-a-million”, and the report goes on to detail all the people that have been infected.
Again, I have no idea why so many of these diseases are making the news, but they are. Is the Media seeking them out because they are so rampant, or are they rampant so they have no choice but to report?
The national conversation has been about Gun Control. Regulating the way that citizens access and procure firearms. I am not going to pick a side there, that is irrelevant. What is interesting to me is that while talking about that, three separate government agencies have ordered an obscene amount of Hollow Point ammunition. Hollow Point ammo CAN be used for target practice, and in fact they may be. I have no idea what the actual intent is, however when I looked at the agencies ordering, it made my eyebrow go up.
As usual, Ales Jones was on top of this from the beginning. It all started with the Department of Homeland Security committing to a large ammunition contract.
Now the DHS and ICE I get. One could understand why they need lots of bullets, hollow point or not, for target practice or not. The second report described how the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contracted for a large number of ammo. Okay, for me that’s a stretch, but I could even buy into them needing the ammo for something ocean/atmosphere related.
When you get to the third agency, that’s where the sell job becomes next to impossible. The Social Security Administration has requested 174k rounds of hollow point bullets. Read the article. Alex and his staff do a great job of building a pretty compelling argument for social unrest being the mitigating factor. Economic Collapse? Presidential Campaigns? An Assassination? Who knows, but they are gearing up for something.
