Yes, I know, PCBs are more "great technology" and "great technology" is the reason there will be no dark age at all.

High levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the blood are associated with premature death. This is shown by a cross-disciplinary study, based on 1,000 randomly selected 70-year-olds in Uppsala, that is published in the JAMA Network Open journal today.

The study is one in a series of studies from a cross-disciplinary collaboration, which has now lasted more than ten years, between Professors Lars Lind and Monica Lind at Uppsala University and environmental chemists at Örebro University. It shows health risks associated with PCBs, although these substances have long been banned.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of environmental pollutants that are subject to restrictions in many countries, and bans have reduced their concentrations in the environment. But since these substances decompose very slowly and are stored in fatty tissue, they remain present in animals and humans. In particular, PCBs with many chlorine atoms in the molecule persist in most Swedes' blood.

In the study known as PIVUS (Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors), more than 1,000 randomly selected 70-year-olds in Uppsala were monitored over a long period. In the study relating to PCBs in blood, concentrations were measured in the subjects' blood in 2001-2004, and then again when they reached the age of 75. Follow-up of those who had died over a 10-year period showed that the individuals with the highest PCB levels with many chlorine atoms in the blood had 50% excess mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease, compared with the other groups. This corresponds to some seven extra deaths during the 10-year follow-up period.

The results were independent from the risk factors that had previously been found to be connected with cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, low educational attainment and cardiovascular disease at age 70.

Previous studies have also shown an association between high PCB levels and atherosclerosis in humans and experimental animals alike. In the researchers' view this finding and the new data combined indicate that intake of PCBs in food should be reduced.

"We humans get most PCBs in our bodies by ingesting them in food. These substances are fat-soluble and found mainly in fatty animal foods like fish, meat and dairy products. According to the Swedish National Food Agency, particularly high concentrations of PCBs are present in fatty fish like Baltic herring and wild-caught salmon from polluted areas, such as the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Bothnia, and Lakes Vänern and Vättern," Monica Lind says.

Not knowing the frailties and lack of power of most prospective studies. Another fail.

I think the wars are going to be the end of everything but only because the infrastructure's so vulnerable because of hypercoherence and technology it's also fragile."

The crackup boom seen long before appears over the target.
The data fragility cults have only isolated themselves.
As we know first hand the consumer was diseased by the spur of avarice as choice and not actual science.
They will not abandon the current path of released attacks upon the consumer.

We suffered time to heal our soil and preserve our water. The locusts will never fathom this.

And the demented fools will be told to agree with this.
This is no proposal ....this will happen...the media is preparing us now.

Climate lock downs.
The local attack is underway.
The State Food Law dictates a violation to one who provided food.
Warrant issued.
Even as thousands missed one meal a day.
Satellite ballets not votes rule the cult lowered to chattel.

Plato actually rejected the use of bárbaros. He knew it was stupidity of craven fools.

They actually believe it is a communication issue to the current affairs.
Who pulls up the ladder when your placed in the crevice? You better read the facts and later maybe you will awake.
The moral nihilist straw man will suffer the exculpatory adjectives for now.

Later it said for those who remain here...

And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them,
and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

With one eye some will make it. They serve death and are reserved into it.

The point, ultimately, is that the Biden administration and the Democrats are moving very quickly to remake this country in Europe’s autocratic image.
Because the Straussian Two Step is too inefficient for The Davos Crowd. The European way is a so much more efficient form of control.
They have to do so through different means, with different language, “protecting voter disenfranchisement,”
but the end result is exactly the same a central government that issues edicts that the vassal states must comply with ignoring the desires or voices of the people it rules over.

In most cases, that's what suicide is about, and certainly within your case it is true (re: "geniuses").

As for BTC, I've been talking about it for months and while that has occurred, it has gone up. It will continue to, with volatility. It isn't anywhere near its top because it is the future. It's going to be funny when it is six figures next year, hundreds of more companies (like Mass Mutual) own millions and billions of value in BTC, and you'll be the monkey throwing feces with statements like "It's gonna pop, it's gonna pop, I told you, I was wrong for a decade but now I'm gonna be right. No way it continues".

You swore and called me names, that's as pathetic as your take on BTC, which is baseless. It's too bad, you will suffer even more in your foolish, doomsday despair.

The drink beachside is still offered. Last chance though, Higster. Any more outbursts out of you and I go full throttle.

What do you actually think he means by paragraph 1? When he gets to "climate change" in paragraph two it is nauseating and almost ruins his case. Why can't we just be in decline, as opposed to all the doomsday language, all the time? I believe we are in major decline. Do any of these guys believe in God? One of the proofs of GD, if it is real, is that if you don't have God (look, we forgot Him again, we don't need Him) you decline and get eaten from the inside. Happens every time. Thus, it's the only thing that can save you, and actually is the only thing that can save you from death anyway - if we are meant to never learn from the past only God can save us. Indeed, this is the whole point of Christianity and why when you abandon it, you suffer the consequences by denying who made us and why things aren't harmonious, but rather chaotic, without Him.
