    Experts and media agree: Grocery store shelves aren’t going back to normal

    Many of the country’s biggest food makers are telling grocers that they will have limited quantities of a number of their products, including things like Rice Krispies Treats, Sour Patch Kids, some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors, McCormick gourmet spices, and Marie Callender’s pot pies because of labor, commodity and transportation constraints throttling supply chains, according to emails viewed by CNN and interviews with grocers. Some suppliers are also telling grocers to cancel their promotions of these items and more over the holidays so these items won’t disappear from store shelves as quickly.

    That’s quite a number of common products that may just vanish with a poof. It’s also notable that a new saying has been coined, the “before times”. This statement and that title signifies life prior to 2019, when COVID-19 began to spread across the planet. The lock down to 2020 was one thing, but the great grocery store famine of 2021 is another.

    The fearful question is what’s next? If it’s the before times what is the after times looking like?

    At what point does disco from a pest and annoyance to a serious crisis with ramifications to the point of tyrannical government shut downs, military checkpoints, famines and few feasts?

    Does that sound a little too tinfoil for you? Not having sour patch kids would’ve sounded pretty tinfoil two years ago.

    Lebanon plunges into total darkness as ENTIRE country without light, heat or energy in mass blackout amid fuel crisis

    The state electricity company confirmed the country’s two main power plants have run out of fuel as it has struggled to import enough oil.

    State electricity in most places is barely available for an hour a day amid rolling power cuts.

    And meanwhile, the fuel needed to power private back-up generators is also in short supply.

  • Michael Myers vs the first responders

    Michael Myers vs the first responders

    This was bound to happen! Judging from the trailers and clips release so far, John Carpenters next installment in the Halloween series threatens to pummel first responders.

    The movie “Halloween Kills” seems to begin with first responders and firefighters trying to put out the fire that Laurie Strode set to kill Michael Myers.

    Instead, and angry and burned Michael exits the home and begins to slaughter any firefighters he comes in contact with, seemingly with their own apparatus and tools.

    Now.. A petition has emerged in which a fire fighter is trying to get people to sign onto the demand to cut those scenes from the movie! https://www.change.org/p/change-org-stop-the-petition-to-remove-the-slaughtering-of-firefighters-in-halloween-kills-2021

    It’s probably fair to say that the petition is getting more attention with media than it is with signatures, but it was all those expected given the world we now live in. They cancel culture mixed with a overzealous ability to make first responders saints in a time of Covid and other social upheaval.

    And now they have met Michael Myers in a movie. They’re being slaughtered, without mercy. John Carpenter warned us of this, and it may not just be the first responders who see their demise in this film. It’s been billed as a bloodbath, a record-setting murderous escapade on a Halloween night. No matter how many petitions emerge, the film is set for release on October 14.

  • BALLS OF LIGHT IN 1871 NEWSPAPERS: What caused the worst wildfire in American history?

    BALLS OF LIGHT IN 1871 NEWSPAPERS: What caused the worst wildfire in American history?

    Today is the anniversary of the worst wildfire in American history, the Peshtigo Fire of 1871.

    Over a million acres burned in eastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s upper peninsula, and it turned into a firestorm that left between 1,500 and 2,500 people dead.

    Whole families were killed, and the lack of survivors made an accurate count difficult.

    Peshtigo is overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire that happened at the same time, and there have been attempts to link them together, and blame a meteorite.

    The Area Research Center, the state historical society’s depository for records for 11 counties in Northeast Wisconsin, has papers and manuscripts of all kinds, she said.

    The story of the Peshtigo Fire, gleaned from survivor accounts and conjecture, is that railroad workers clearing land for tracks that Sunday evening started a brush fire which, somehow, became an inferno.

    It had been an unusually dry summer, and the fire moved fast. Some survivors said it moved so fast it was “like a tornado.”

    Map of fire

    Even more… The sudden, convulsive speed of the flames consumed available oxygen. Some trying to flee burst into flames.

    It scorched 1.2 to 1.5 million acres, although it skipped over the waters of Green Bay to burn parts of Door and Kewaunee counties. The damage estimate was at $169 million, about the same as for the Chicago Fire.

    The fire also burned 16 other towns, but the damage in Peshtigo was the worst. The city was gone in an hour. In Peshtigo alone, 800 lives were lost.

    This report was in the Wisconsin State Journal on October 23, 1871–dispatches took longer then obviously:

    This report that was circulated around the national newspaper scene on October 25, 1871, spoke of “balls of fire” being observed to fall like meteors in different parts of the town before the fire… It was said they ignited anything they came in contact with:

    While it is categorized as fringe and conspiracy, the Comet Biela broke up just before these tragic events.. could that have been the catalyst? That theory continues to captivate and cause questions..

    But maybe it is just explained by … mundane nature..

    The area had experienced an extremely dry summer that year. This, combined with gusty winds that moved in with a front that October evening, were capable of generating rapidly expanding blazes from available ignition sources of which there were plenty across the region.

    Or a comet..

    You choose.

    The balls of light were reported in newspapers in 1871. Did fake news exist then?

  • The sponsored  post that won’t go away!

    The sponsored post that won’t go away!

    For weeks now people on Facebook may have been seeing a sponsored post written by the Wall Street Journal. Perhaps you did not see it if your news feed is not attuned to COVID-19 or stories about the pandemic..

    Here is the article for your enjoyment

    But this is very interesting, because there have been countless people who have said that Facebook stop them from monetizing posts about Covid, the pandemic, or anything related to the vaccine.

    As we have long saw, major corporations or news media outlets get more of a pass than individuals or freelancers.

    It would be interesting to find out just how much the Wall Street Journal actually paid for the sponsor ship, especially given the fact that this article was written a month ago.

    But even more, the headline has not aged very well with time. Yes, there have been countless conspiracy theories that Bill Gates is behind the diabolical plot to microchip everyone on the entire planet or create a big giant depopulation program to wipe us out by 70%. On the flipside, other media outlets have praised him beyond any accuracy and treated him like a second coming of a Christlike figure.

    The truth in between also is troubling, with revelations because of his divorce coming out about that interesting and friendly relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, despite his public interviews in which he said he distance himself many years ago. Others have found evidence to the contrary.

    So to see this long running sponsored ad from the Wall Street Journal focusing on how Bill Gates, and no one else, does not believe we’re ready for the next pandemic only will play further into the hands or minds of conspiracy theorist that already think either has too much power or knows more than what he’s letting on.

    Fake news, half-baked news, fancy full praise and invalid or half assed reactions. Welcome to the world of pandemic coverage. What you see may not be real and could be very well different with an a year. We’re living in the misinformation age. Embrace it, and get ready for that next pandemic that Bill Gates is warning of.

  • Not fake news but repetitive news

    Not fake news but repetitive news

    Over the past few days the “pathway to heaven photo“ has been making its rounds. It was taken by people after the scene of a car accident, there’s some hot debate whether it’s a soul going to heaven or just a glare from the windshield.

    But just as a symbol of how the news media works, those with some memory may recall this photo was published before.

    Despite the fact the news reports or not indicating what year it took place, they were simply saying it was taken April 25, it has been published as though just happened this year

    It did not.

    Here are some screenshots showing the date line October 2021 for the new a story but other screenshots showcasing that this photo was published many years ago.

    It’s how the news biz works. Sometimes fake. Sometimes repetition. But most of the time misleading.

  • Mystery in South China Sea

    Mystery in South China Sea

    A U.S. nuclear submarine hit an object in the South China Sea last Saturday, CNN reported, citing two defense officials. 

    A Navy official confirmed to The Hill that multiple people were injured and characterized the injuries as bumps and scrapes. The Navy declined to confirm the location of the incident, but in a statement said the incident occurred in “international waters in the Indo-Pacific region.”

    “The Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN 22) struck an object while submerged on the afternoon of Oct. 2,” the U.S. Pacific Fleet said in a statement on Thursday. “The safety of the crew remains the Navy’s top priority. There are no life threatening injuries.”

    More from published reports..

    There are also no indications that the mishap was hostile or that the sub collided with another vessel, according to the official, who cautioned that information on the incident is preliminary at this point.

    While two crew members suffered moderate injuries, no one required evacuation from the boat, according to the official, who declined to provide a total number of sailors injured but described those injuries as “bumps, bruises and lacerations.”

  • Fourth woman dead from rare clots after Johnson and Johnson vaccine administered

    Fourth woman dead from rare clots after Johnson and Johnson vaccine administered

    A woman in her late 30s has died of a rare blood clotting condition nearly two weeks after receiving a single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in Washington, according to state health officials. The woman is the first confirmed death in King County, and the fourth person to die nationwide out of the nearly 15 million people who have received the J&J shot since it became available in the U.S.

    “We at Public Health are saddened by this loss and offer condolences to the woman’s family and loved ones,” the county’s public health department said in a statement released Tuesday. “As with many medications, the risk of serious adverse events is small, but not zero. It is vital for people to have this information in order to make their own informed decisions.”

    The news release indicates that she received her vaccine in late August and died some two weeks later, right around the same mark that previous deaths had occurred from this rare disorder.

  • Hospital system says it will deny transplants to the unvaccinated in ‘almost all situations’

    Hospital system says it will deny transplants to the unvaccinated in ‘almost all situations’

    A Colorado-based health system says it is denying organ transplants to patients not vaccinated against the coronavirus in “almost all situations,” citing studies that show these patients are much more likely to die if they get covid-19.

    The policy illustrates the growing costs of being unvaccinated and wades into deeply controversial territory — the use of immunization status to decide who gets limited medical care. The mere idea of prioritizing the vaccinated for rationed health resources has drawn intense backlash, as overwhelmingly unvaccinated covid-19 patients push some hospitals to adopt “crisis standards of care,” in which health systems can prioritize patients for scarce resources based largely on their likelihood of survival.

    ‘SNL’ Season 47 Premiere Is Lowest-Rated Episode in Show’s History

    Owen Wilson picked the wrong year to host “Saturday Night Live.” The Season 47 premiere was “SNL’s” lowest-rated episode of all time
    — Read on www.thewrap.com/snl-season-47-premiere-record-low-ratings/

    Often criticized for a lack of humor, the younger demo have all but abandoned the show.. it was the lowest rated episode and some say rightfully so after an episode of jokes not handing and dull humor that forced you to wince as you watched ..
