Monkeypox in SF sewers
As if you needed another reason to stay out of the Sewers.

So there are now 2500 moneypox cases diagnosed in the current outbreak, in over 40 countries, and not a single death that anyone can point to. Why should we care? Is it causing disfiguring scarring or something or is it just like Chickenpox? I really don’t know. Obviously the fatality rate is nowhere near 10% or 1% and it does not really spread that easily although more easily that previous strains.
A Great Depression is Coming
Since the creation of the US Federal Reserve over a century ago, every major financial market collapse has been deliberately triggered for political motives by the central bank. The situation is no different today, as clearly the US Fed is acting with its interest rate weapon to crash what is the greatest speculative financial bubble in human history, a bubble it created. Global crash events always begin on the periphery, such as with the 1931 Austrian Creditanstalt or the Lehman Bros. failure in September 2008. The June 15 decision by the Fed to impose the largest single rate hike in almost 30 years as financial markets are already in a meltdown, now guarantees a global depression and worse.
The extent of the “cheap credit” bubble that the Fed, the ECB and Bank of Japan have engineered with buying up of bonds and maintaining unprecedented near-zero or even negative interest rates for now 14 years, is beyond imagination.
Financial media cover it over with daily nonsense reporting , while the world economy is being readied, not for so-called “stagflation” or recession. What is coming now in the coming months, barring a dramatic policy reversal, is the worst economic depression in history to date.Thank you, globalization and Davos.
This time, as insiders like ex-Bank of England head Mark Carney noted three years ago, the crisis will be used to force the world to accept a new Central Bank Digital Currency, a world where all money will be centrally issued and controlled. This is also what Davos WEF people mean by their Great Reset. It will not be good. A Global Planned Financial Tsunami Has Just Begun.

Another virus targeting homosexuals. CDC is on it.
In a press release, the CDC said Wednesday that meningococcal spread among homosexual males, including those with HIV, in the Florida outbreak.
“Getting vaccinated against meningococcal disease is the best way to prevent this serious illness, which can quickly become deadly,” said Jose R. Romero, the head of the CDC’s immunization and respiratory disease division, in the release.
“Because of the outbreak in Florida,” he added, ”and the number of Pride events being held across the state in coming weeks, it’s important” that homosexual men get the vaccine.

The Biden administration said on June 22 that it was expanding monkeypox testing capacity by shipping tests to five commercial laboratory companies.
“By dramatically expanding the number of testing locations throughout the country, we are making it possible for anyone who needs to be tested to do so,” said Xavier Becerra, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“All Americans should be concerned about monkeypox cases,”he added.

January 2022-Taiwan
The population last year dropped by 185,922 from 2020 to 23.38 million, data released on Monday by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) showed.
Only 153,820 births were recorded in the entire year, setting a record low and dipping below the death rate each month.
Last month, there were only 14,127 births, 19.5 percent fewer than the number recorded a year earlier.
The CIA in its World Factbook placed Taiwan at the tail end of its estimated fertility rate for last year at only 1.07 births per childbearing person, coming in just behind four other Asian countries or regions among a total of 227.

There were 9,442 babies born in May 2022 which decreased 23.24% compared with the same month last year. The average showed that a baby was born about every 4.7 minutes. The annual crude birth rate was 4.79‰.

Covid-19 vaccination BNT162b2 temporarily impairs semen concentration and total motile count among semen donors
Below is the crucial chart, which shows that “total motile count” - the number of sperm in the ejaculated semen - plunged 22 percent three to five months after the second shot (T2) and barely recovered during the final count (T3), when it was still 19 percent below the pre-shot level.

Roe vs Wade being overturned. Might not be an issue if Fertility Rates drop much more.
In any event, States have to make them illegal and if you live in such a state you can cross state lines and get it done. Also you have the option to order on-line prescription abortion pills .
I have mixed feelings. I prefer to let the women have their choice. “My body my choice works for me.” Only they are taking someone else’s life (unborn as it may be).
Anyways, Women will find a way as they did before Roe vs Wade. At least now they can stay in the country and get it done in a safe facility, even if they have to travel a bit.
I would be surprised if more than a dozen smallish states made it illegal.
Climate Change
As shown in “Net Zero + Green Grid = The Great Regret” event videos with Dr. Ian Plimer on climate science and Joanne Nova on the “Crash Test Dummy of Renewables – Australian power grid”, NetZero and ESG policies are destroying the lives of people for no useful purpose. Climate lockdowns and cuts as proposed by Mazzucato and the UNEP would be a useless effort to mitigate climate change, but a catastrophic blow to human civilization.
