The unrelated cases, identified in Long Beach and Los Angeles county, involve patients who had not recently traveled abroad. All three were hospitalized and are now recovering, according to the California department of public health.

Mpox is a viral infection that often begins with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills and muscle aches. These are usually followed by a rash that starts as small raised spots, then develop into fluid-filled blisters before forming scabs.

Dr Rita Nguyen, assistant state public health officer, said in Friday’s statement that “clade I mpox cases can be severe” and the “risk of severe disease and hospitalization are highest for people with weakened immune systems.”

Anyone can contract mpox through close physical contact, including sex. Past outbreaks of clade II primarily affected gay and bisexual men and transgender or non-binary people who have sex with men. California’s public health department now believes person-to-person spread of clade I is occurring in California, mainly affecting these communities.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported six prior US clade I cases, all linked to travel abroad. The first was detected in San Mateo county in 2024. Officials said the overall risk to the public remains low, and casual contact in settings like offices or public transit is unlikely to spread the virus.

The Jynneos vaccine protects against both clade I and II mpox. It is a two-dose series given a month apart, with full immunity reached two weeks after the second dose. No booster is currently recommended.

The CDC said it is not known how long vaccine protection might last, or if protection might decrease over time, according to its website. The public health agency is analyzing the current data and conducting studies to better understand how the Jynneos vaccine works amid the current mpox outbreak, as well as how long protection might last.^[1]

You are welcome.

Weird.

Peace.

Austin ordered about 2,000 U.S. forces to be prepared to deploy if needed in the coming days and weeks. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters Tuesday that the units have not yet been identified. She said the troops would be able to respond quickly, particularly to provide intelligence and surveillance, transportation and medical assistance.

The 2,000 troops are likely to include additional Air Force and Army personnel.^[1]

Major difference:

AIPAC and Zionists are in the open; they own the duopoly and mostly all politicians, including Trump, Bernie Sanders, and AOC.

Bernie and AOC push Zionist propaganda talking points, even if they do not receive AIPAC funding.

FTFY

“Israel pushes every angle. The point is to spread division.”

FTFY

You are getting a taste of long running Israel media manipulation, enabled by rich oligarchs who care more about their power and money than country.

FTFY

Apparently that’s what Israel has been doing too: using propaganda, trolls and bots to make the left and right hate each other to the point of violence. They’ve been doing this in all western countries.

Colombia to cancel free trade deal with Israel, “reform” treaty with US [Adriaan Alsema | SEP 30 2025 | colombiareports.com]

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro said Monday that his government will end its free trade agreement with Israel and seeks to revise the one with the United States.

Petro made the announcement during a cabinet meeting amid rapidly deteriorating tensions with its former partners over Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, which is largely sponsored by the US. The announcement came shortly after an open letter by the Colombo-American Chamber of Commerce, which said that 500 businessmen distanced themselves from the president’s opposition to the genocide.

According to Petro, the “pro-gringo” businessmen failed to understand that life comes before trade.

“Trade is not more important than life, as the 500 pro-gringo businessmen, who are not Colombian or do not appear to be, would have us believe. They are more interested in exporting trinkets to the United States than in preserving life on the planet.” – President Gustavo Petro

“We are not the kind of business that bows down to greed and that means we will also reform the FTA and that means we will no longer have an FTA,” said the president.

Consequently, “the coal companies that export [to Israel] must fold or sell their concessions,” said Petro.

US says they’ll revoke visa of Colombia’s president for call on US soldiers to disobey Trump

Apart from ending the free trade deal with Israel and seeking changes in the treaty with the US, Petro ordered the ministers of trade and transport, to prioritize road infrastructure projects that would allow increased trade with the rest of South America.

“We had the most powerful international trade agreement with the Andean Pact. And now the political satraps come out and say that it is with the United States. When was that the case? Our industrial goods were sold to Venezuela and Ecuador. There was always food trade in the Andean Pact. Why did we abandon the Andean Pact? To prioritize a free trade agreement with the United States that hurts us.” – President Gustavo Petro

The president additionally ordered his foreign minister, Rosa Villavicencio, to replace the personnel at the Colombian embassy to Beijing, claiming that his attempts to strengthen ties with China were being sabotaged.

The government began improving trade relations with China earlier this year in response to an apparent trade war on the rest of the world declared by Trump after taking office.^[1]

Thanks for the post!

It reminded me to post a video about Tim Dillon getting disinvited from the Saudi Comedy Festival because of his jokes, hahaha!

Gopnik refers to a Russian and Slavic subculture and nationality stereotype about lower-class men, who typically wear Adidas tracksuits, enjoy hardbass music and pose for pictures in the so-called “Slav Squat” or “Gopnik Squat” position with a bottle of vodka, or other hard liquor, in hand. Gopnik memes surfaced en masse on Reddit, 4chan and Twitter / X in the 2010s, spreading into the 2020s. A common catchphrase associated with Gopniks is the Russian slang, “Cyka blyat,” loosely meaning, “Fucking bitch,” in English. In September 2025, Gopniks became attributed to Groypers after a photo of Tyler Robinson, the suspected shooter in the Charlie Kirk Assassination, appeared in a viral image wearing a Gopnik Halloween costume. The connection between Gorypers and Gopniks was largely speculative, however, and Robinson’s political affiliations had not yet been publicized.^[1]

All is well.

Peace.

Wikipedia has mountains of useful information, but it is limited and censored when it comes to “controversial” and dissident information, due to it being the status quo and the establishment.

It is known the three-letter agencies have a lot of power controlling and censoring information in media and social media; this includes Wikipedia.

We should always question and be highly critical of these types of organizations and groups, similar to anything politicians and the military spew out.

Thanks for your informative comment; it seems many don’t know or care to question status quo sources and establishment organizations.

Whistleblowers and independent journalists have spoken about this for many years.

Generated Summary:

A 600-word bullet point summary focusing on statistics, comparing China and the US’s energy infrastructure readiness for AI development.

• China views energy availability for AI development as a “solved problem,” unlike the US where it’s a major bottleneck.
• McKinsey projects a $6.7 trillion investment in new data center capacity globally (2025-2030) to meet AI’s energy demands.
• US data center development is limited by power grid stress; some companies build their own power plants. Ohio households face at least a $15/month electricity bill increase due to data centers.
• Goldman Sachs highlights AI’s power demand outpacing grid development cycles.
• China annually adds more electricity demand than Germany’s total annual consumption. One Chinese province matches India’s total electricity supply.
• China maintains an 80-100% reserve margin, meaning it has at least twice the needed capacity, allowing it to absorb AI data center demand.
• The US typically operates with a 15% reserve margin or less, leading to warnings about grid strain during peak demand.
• China’s energy planning is coordinated through long-term, technocratic policy, anticipating demand. The US relies heavily on private investment with shorter-term return expectations (3-5 years), unsuitable for long-term power projects (decade-long build and payoff).
• China directs state funding to strategic sectors, accepting some project failures to ensure capacity when needed. The US lacks this public financing for long-term energy projects.
• China’s pragmatic approach to renewables and coal use, focusing on efficiency and results, contrasts with the US’s politically charged debates.
• Without significant changes in US energy infrastructure funding and development, China’s lead will widen.

I wonder!

They may be labeled as contractors or similar to a merc.

Third-party contractors that don’t have to follow the same ‘rules’ as government or military personnel.

Edit:

1. Word, merchs to merc, meaning mercenary

No, re-read.

It is about technology.

All is well.

Peace.

Do you see Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel as part of the oligarchy?

Is calling them out on what they do being a shill? I think it would be the opposite of a shill.

Glenn has already proven himself with his record and investigative journalism, especially his work with Edward Snowden.

fascist oligarch shill

I am not sure these words have any meaning when they continue to be used so loosely.

We may not agree with him 100% on all topics, but I don’t think there are people you can agree with 100%, unless you are an apologetic or celebrity worshipper and you just blindly follow people.

I see the topic he discusses here as important, and it is directly tied into technology, with Mark and Thiel being the direct tie.

I am interested in learning about the criticism of the analysis and arguments Glenn has made that you disagree with.

Feel free to post people that have brought these topics up as well.
